SALISBURY EVENING POST, SAMi'HI'HV. .V I'.. ME1T. 3, 1!I1S. PAGVTHBXI Some Additional War News. HINDENBURG LINE REACHED AM) PASSED. (By the Associated Press) Over a front of 30 miles the region of Arras to Peronne, Field Marshal Hate's forces have smashed the Ger man front. The southern portion of the famous j Drocourt-Queant line, which has been i h-nlded as the impregnable bulwark ! of the Germun d-fense in the north, , has given way under violence of the , British onslaught over its entire front ; from the Scrape river to Queant, a ! distance of virtually 10 miles and ' Monday night saw the Canadian and English troops, who carried out the , maneuver hard after the defeated ; enemy some thtee miles to the east ward. Thousands of prisoners have been ' taken from the strongly resisting en-! emy, who at hist accounts, was fight ing violently as he gave ground to ward the Canal du Nord. Hindenburg Line Doomed. -this victory seemingly is ended the menace of the Hindenburg line to the south, which the British are grad ually approaching over its entire front. Already thoroughly outflanked on the north and with the French well : upon its southern base, military nec-1 essity apparently will require that the : Germans relinquish the Hindenburg fortifications and realign their front ! from Flanders to Rheims in order to avert disaster at the hands of their swiftly moving antagonists. Already i':e roads to iDounai, Cam brai and St. Quentin are thoroughly invested by the British and French armies, while north of Soissons "the French and Americans are in posi tions of vantage from which to carry ! out turning movements which will ! outflank Laon end the Chemin-Des- i Dames and Aisne lines. The situation of the enemy, viewed from the war maps, is the most perilous he has yet been in. i Added to the troubles of the Ger-: man high command is the situation j that is fast developing in Flanders, in the reigon around Ypres, where the , Germans daily are being forced out ; of their positions by the British and , American troops. All over this sec tor steady progress is being made eastward in the blotting out of the salient that has long existed there. Americans in Flanks Advance. The Americans, who took Voorme-! zeele Sunday, now are well into the reigon of the town, having overcome the strong resistance of the Germans who endeavored to bar their way. A -few more strides by Haig's men in ,4 this region and Armentieres will 'be: 3 within striking distance. After Armenties it is but a step to Lille. Hard fighting has been in progress between the British and Germans around Peronne, where Australians successfjjdjjwithstood violent aJackA.. and have takeiTseveral thousand pris-! oners. Between Peronne and Bapa-' ume the Germans also have imposed ! strong opposition to the British, but the S. Pierre-Vaast, IJfe Tfansloy and Allaines and Haut-Ajlaines all have been succesfully' carried. MEN FEEL TIRED, TOO. While much is said about tired wo men it myst ibe remembered that men also ipay the penalty of overwork. When the kidneys are weak, inactive or sluggish, when one feels tired out and miserable, lacks energy and am bition. Foley Kidney Pills are tonic and strengthening. William H. Clark, Springfield, Ohio, writes: "I found no relief from kidney trouble until I dis ccovered Foley Kidney Pills. Now I am in A 1 shape." They act quickly and surely. Sold everywhere. is a real factor in the present public service program. There's NoWaste, it Saves Fuel and Sugar, and it is American. Not least, it is Delicious, HeoitrvfuX and it Satisfies. Try 33U N frrw"aiii , French Cross Canal. On the southern end of the front to Soissons, the French have made an other important crossing of the Canal du Nord, thisAime ei'.st of N'esle which places them well on the ro:id to Ham, the last remaining important junction point, in the Somme-Oise sector, with lines leading from it to St. Quentin and LaFere. North of Soissons equally important progress has been made. Here, where j the Americans are in line with the I French, gains have been made on the I i . - r i . l piuieuu tusi, ui vitrvy-uu-.fiuiiL aim Juvi(;ny and the villages of Leuilly and Tern-Sorny have been taken, notwithstanding stubborn resistance. These gains, if they are continued, seemingly cannot but result shortly in the enemy withdraw'lig northward from the Vesle river positions he holds and reconstituting his entire front to Rheims. GERMAN PRESS IS SCENTING DEFEAT. Growing Realization of What the Al lied Victories in France and Flan ders Mean Is Reflected in Changed Tone of the German Newspapers. Washington Sept. 2 Germany's growing realization of what the allieiL victories in t ranee and r landers mean continues to be reflected in the chang ed tone of the German press. An official dispatch today quotes the fol lowing from the Cologne Gazette: "The struggle going on on the southein front becomes every day greater and more formidable. The greatest German (offensive cannot ev en be compared to the present fights. We must not let the relative calm reigning in some sections deceive. Formidable forces are gathered there. Are these troops in need of rest, or are they designed for fresh fights, readv to attack on the first opportu nity?" This paper concedes that it does not understand Foch's strategy and adds: "Our staff must take the necessary dispositions to meet any painful eventualities. Other dispatches tooay comment upon the evolution of the press in neu tral countries since the allies took the offensive. As an example the German Swiss paper, the New Zurich Gazette, is quoted as paying a fine tribute to Marshal Foch's military genius, say ing he not only is a theorist of deep knowing, but "a leader wonderfully able to get methods used on the battle fields." From the Basle Natonal Gazette this is taken: "The German morale will be irrem- edibly shaken by the allied victories.! ' The belief in Hindenburg and Ludendorff animated the whole Ger man policy; it was the secret of its j nower. They have been defeated. i. l.TjieGerps hajyejar .genera tions been brought up in the idea that they are the strongest and this belief formed the basis of the conception of the universe. If they suddenly find out that they have been mistaken, it is just as if the floor that 'supports them gave way." ' ' OVER THERE With The Boys Prom Mexican Border. Mrs. L. C.

TODAY: ELSIE FERGUSON in THE DANGER MARK.' soc MA N GOVERNOR BICKETT IKES ADDRESS Chief Executive Made a Notable Speech at the Labor Day Ex ercises at Spencer. GOLD STAR IN SERVICE FLAG FOR SPENCER DEAD Exercises Attracted Much Atten tion and Made Impression on Many. (By A. W. Hi ks.) Spcn 'er, St5t. '!. The address of Gov. Bi-kett here on Labor Day iw;ts a great rue. It was -pronounced by men wh ' cive ibeen listening to hi l for yeuis as a masterpiece, one of t . est h Sis H.'cr delivered in th.1 Stite. The governor ..ame under the nuM'iices of the Spencer Red Cross f vr it 'i Rev. J :vo. S. Wood is scwtii y ind w'Ych is comiposed of somethirg like 100 of the gowi ladies of Spen cer. He arrived1 on Ni. 44 from Char lotte early in the morning and h ivit '.cen rid'ng all ni?ht took a nine !i needed rest before mingling with t tjwJ. An erroneous rumor gained iivulation early in the day tfnnt the .lov.'rror was not here but he very nr.'n-i I'ly niiled thU report by having it announced that he was very mi: h credent. The crowd was in wnting for th-. !hief executive while the Salisbury and discoursed splendid musi.- frvi the band stand in Spencer park. At 10:4") Mayor W. II. Burton mounted :he s-t and an 1 announced that the ad dress of O governor would be hea ' I in Central Methodist cfweh as he w :s n.it well enough to soeak in the open. The auditorium of 'the church, seating a 1,000 or more, was soon crow-k'd to overflowin-r. Rev. Mr. Wood presid ed at the nnecting and sever il 'patri otic songs were sung. In a' fitting speei'-i Rev. C. M. I; k- ens presented a hmdsome service flag to the Red Cross. TMs contained 107 stirs representing an equal number f Spencer men who have jained the col ors since ithe war began. Of this num ber three have been killed or have l;ed, these being Jesse Blair, J. M. Stucky, and A. A. Phelps, and in hon or of these soldiers gold stars were olaced on the flag which was accent ed in a timely address by Rev. Mr. Wood. Mayor Burton -wis called upon to intndu'.'e t' Ve !f eaker of the day. He ;3 id t'iat the Liibor Day celebration, which has for a number of yenrs been a bi-j: thing in this part of the state, was curtailed somewhat in order to conserve manpower as a war measure. T'lis ht contended was in keepimr with the order of the government. Hc orcierited the governor as one of ti'.ie leading men in the country today. Civ. Vkett spokeJ for more than in hour and stated that he was vry glad to nd dress -a crowd of men who ler or. i'.oit he h''Tiself is a nbot"r, and de dared thai the erroneous idea t"iait there is a big difference in the man who works 'with his hands and the man who works with his head ! ias 'ong since been exploded. He said he likes to get close to the mwn who baa smoke and grease on his face. He gave flvs full endorsement of the idea of celebrating Iabor Day with exer cises in a church which he considered very fitting. After reading a scripture lesson he announced that T:iis theme for the hour would be "Action." .He declared that the 107 Spencer men who are now in the service of their country have answered the call to ac tion. North Carolina, hi esaid, has sent out ir,000 soldiers in this war and Spencer has furnished 107 up to this time and has many imore to send. WCien these people believe thorough ly in the American flag there will be no trouble about raising securities, Y. iM. C. A. funds for war worfo or funds for the Red Cross. He said a man can be measured by his loyalty to the flag at this trme when the old world is reeling and rocking in the throes of ''fce igreatest tragedy of all time. He wanted to bring homne bo the people their great responsibility in this tryinrr hour. He declared that no nation can lose its self-reapect and remain on the mfp and shouted that "ie had rather be dead with his hones bleaching on No Man's Iand than to fail to show himself a man at this time. Here tTie speaker raised a most scivero arraignment of the German government. He read i letter, which he said was vouched for by the gov ernment, that 'had caueed Mrs. Bickett to make a trip to Euirar.e to see what a woman can do to Ihelp 'win the war for freedom for the whole world. He cited many instances of nrthlessness of ti"ie Germans. This war, he said, is to determine what sort of civiliza tion is to rule on the earth for ages to come. If American ideals are to come out of tTie great world melting pot Jhen American ideals must, go into that pot, he said. To lose the war means war for ages and to win it mems peace for a thousand years. Tie Governor congratulated Spen cer upon having sent 107 young men and especially upon the plan advanc ed here to put l,0u0 in war securi ties back of every man when he leaves. Spencer was asked to raise $43,000 in securities and has already sent in 133,000 ewith the work of raising the money still in full swing. The governor was slightly hoarse at die beginning of his address but he soon warmed up to his subject and had many cryin;: before he had been r.penking long.
