I HAVE SEEN them have women chained to their machine guns, and—” Oh, the beasts of Hunland! The Rev. George A. Griffiths of Baltimore, a chap- lain with the Fifth Field artillery, reports that the Huns have taken captive girls into their first line trenches, Mark the utter depravity of the gray-clad horde! They tortured the girls until their screams, plainly heard in the allies’ first line trenches, nearly crazed the gallant young Scotch and Canadian soldiers. In utter frenzy and heedless of warnings, they dashed madly over to rescue the Avy automa 6 Fn ra sereams eu the women lured Other soldiers started forward. lend only leveled guns of their officers held them back until an organized dash across No Man's Land could be made. Finally, they drove the fiends from their trenches, and went over. “What they saw,” says the Literary Digest, “was too awful for words.” And it continues: “May a merciful God spare us from seeing our daughters and wives chained to machine guns or tor- tured by the Huns! May we never see our little chil- dren or our old men crucified upon the doors of our ravaged homes. May we never see our babes impaled upon bayonets and carried thru our streets over the shoulders of German soldiers. “MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE! “Insure victory now, and freedom forever from the unspeakable Hun.” Insure it with Liberty Bonds to your utmost limit. paid their lives in KAISER ASKS PEOPLE’S “BLOOD AND WEALTH!”’ ‘AMSTERDAM, Oct. 1.—The kaiser has sent the fol- lowing message to the members of the Fatherland party:) “T confidently hope that the German people, in these earnest times, will resolutely gather around me and give their blood and wealth, to the last breath, in defense of the Fatherland.” BELGIANS SWEEP BRITISH TROOPS NORTHERN FRONT NEAR DAMASCUS LONDON, Oct, 1—The Bel- PARIS, Oct. 1,-—British troops gians and British continue their [are within four kilometers (two advance in Flanders.

The American progress there is very slow, owing to the influx of enemy reinforcements, which are launching counter attacks, The French, however, operating on the American left, have made notable progress, carrying their lines north of | Monthois, a total advance of nearly 10 miles. _ Between the Ailette and the Vesle the French con- jtinue their progress along the Chemin des Dames and to |the southward, drawing nearer both to Laon and Craonne. | 60,000 TURKS ARE CAPTURED Capture of 10,000 additional prisoners in Palestine, an« nounced by Gen.

The Germans are reported to be pouring great numbers of re- inforcements from Rumania into northern Serbia. It is be- |lieved the allies will push rapidly northward to meet this army, utilizing the Bulgarian railways if necessary. The Austrian war office has officially admitted the withdrawal of its line northward, west of Lake Ochrida, | which formed the left flank of the allied drive in Albania, 1A big retirement of the Austrians along the whole Alban- jian front is looked for, because of the danger of flanking operations resulting from extension of the allied lines north- }ward in Serbia.
