They Are Unsuccessful and Lose Heavily. The French Make Important Gains. The German government has pre pared a rejoinder to President Wil son's last note in which, after again referring (o the fiar-reaehing changes which' have been carried out and aiv being caarried out in the German constitutional structure to which the military imwei-s have been' made sub ject, it declares that Germany Is now awaiting the proposals for an j armistice.

Gen eral Lude.ndorff, repuled to be' the ra.ins of the German army the man who promised the Germans he would crush Great Britain and Franoe be fore the United States could get un der way in a military sense has re signed his position as first quarter master general and Emperor William has accepted his resignation. Simultaneously, while the Ger man line continues to crumble under the allied attacks and the German border is slowly but gradually being approached by Germany's foes, comes a report that the reichstag by a large majority has passed a bill .; placing the military command under the control of the civil government. . ' . On the western battle front the British , French and Americans have continued to make further slight ains against the Germans; in the Italian theater both the British and Italians have scored successes, while in Asiatic Turkey the British have jfxintured Alennn in Rv-Ha arwi a xlriving ahead on the banks of the Tirgris in Mesopotamia, with the Turks unable to check them. The fall of Aeloppo and the continued ad vance up the Tigris, are moves of such strategic value that it is not un- likely Turkish opposition shortly will entirely overcome both in the Holy Land and Mesopotamia. The French armies fighting on the 40-mile front between the Oise and Alsne rivers are keeping up their of fensive against the Germans and have made additional gains , taking several villages and compelling the enemy to fall back at various points. In the region southeast of Valen ciennes , around Le Quesnoy, the Germans have delivered violent counter attacks against the British. The Americans have beeun the second month of their operations in the region of Verdun by keeping tip their attacks against the Germans from the Meuse to the wooded coun try north of Grand Pre. Some furth er progress has been made notwith standing continued strong opposition by German machine gunners from behind the natural fortifications which abound throughout this dis trict. American airmen also are con tinuing their bombing operations be hind the German Ines', their latest effort in this repect having been made against the territory around Briquenay, north of Grand Pre, In which 140 airplanes took pjrt, 60 of them being bombing machines.

Huns Fighting Bitterly and Exert Every Ounce of Force to Check the Advance of Americans. Gernuiny'is hard pressed soldiers are being given no" rest as the Brit ish, French and American forces continue with success their drive? on Important sectors from north of Valenciennes to east of the Meuss. Meanwhile, the Italians are pushing ahead in the region of Monte Grappa. On tne northern end of the front in France the Brinish mafntain their progress in encircling Valenciennes, gradually, but slowly, is being forc In the Center the French have sha- ed backward. ken seriously the German defenses along the Serre and eastward toward the Aime at Chateau Porcien. The American troops east and west of the Meuse "hot only hold . their gains against strong enemy reactions, but have further strengthened their po sitions north of Grand Pre. South of Valenciennes, Field Mar shal Haig is across the Valen-ciennes-Le Quesnoy railroad and the fall of Le Quesnoy, which is vi tal to the defense of Mons and Maubeuge, would appear to be near. In the last week the allied troops in Franoe and Belgium have freed 400 square miles of territory from the grasp of the enemy. Paris esti mates that in the last four days the GJwmnfnis hfve suffered ' total cas ualties of 50,000. including 15.000 prisoners. : Saved a Million Barrels. A striking example of the willing ness of the public to respond to ev ery request to conserve material needed by the Army and Navy h shown in the results of "grasolineless Sundays," The request of the United States Fuel Administration to auto mobile owners !n all the States east of tlie Mississippi River to discontin ed Sunday driving until a reserve supply of gasoline could be built, up effected a saving of more than 1,- 000,000 barrels which may be used for war purposes. The request to save gasolise was issued on Sept. 1 and withdrawn on uci. it. inus, in a penoa covering j r rencn in this region, but only af sven Sundays theer was an average! ter the hardest kind of fighting. saving of about 143,000 barrels for each Sunday. While the request for further saving at this time is withdrawn, it is pointed out by the , Fuel Administration tluat if at tha id of two weeks stocks are found ; to be dangerously low it may be nec essary to again ask the publir to put the voluntary plan into effect. There has bees no material in -crelase In the stock of gasoline on hand east of California during the j last. month, notwithstanding th? lar,ge amount saved. On Sept. 16th ' there were 2.949,640 barrels of mo- tor gasoline a"d 340,883 barrels of aviation gasoline in storage, and on Oct. 14 the stocks on hand were 3, 134,731 and 166,369 barrels, respec tively. This is the entire reserve stek, including that stored at in terior points. "' : Wiile the peak load of domestic consumption is belk'ved to be pass ing, the Fuel Administration is con sidering the question of further con servation should this become neces sary. Meantime, the public is urg ed to save gasoline during the week days by eliminating every consump tion by at least 15 or 20 per cent. Everything. Allies Look Upon America as Savior. Proof that the Allied peoples look upon the United States as their sav ior from starvation is shown by the fact that even upon the bread; cards of France there is a message j from the United States Food Admin- j istrator. The Ministere De U Agri culture Et Du Ravitailleuient cor responding to our Food Administra tor recently asked the United States Food Administrator for a message which could be distributed to the people of Fiance, and this l.i ww npp.airi on ihfjir bread card is- j MH-,1 by t!io I-Iurojiean Utiublic. j Mr, H'xtvt r's me.-age reads; i "K. i c:","i. in France is mute pro .-f Ki r- s.iution of the French j I"-"! t.n' d ',,! ive tj eniM Ives of ev-, -ry;hin to fiiT- i.-ti" the winning;, of lis;-! war.

ENEMY STUBBORNLY RESISTSTHE ALLIES On All Salient Lines the Eenmy is Slowly Being Bent Backward. On the Italian Front Austrians Are Put to Test. The British Hitting Hard North of Valenciennes. (Saturday's War Summary.) The Germans in Belgium and France still are stubbornly resisting the .attempts of the entente allied forces to break through ther linos j and bring about am immediate col- lapse of their defensive positions. On the whole, they are succeed ing but nevertheless on all salient positions under attack the enemy line On the northern Italian battle front between the Brenta and Plave rivers the Austrians are being put to the test in a new attack by, British, French and Italian troops, while in lesopotamia the British again have gone on tlie offensive against the Turks and at last accounts were ma king considerable progress. . In Al bania and Serbia the operations of the allied forces are tending toward fhe slow but sure evacuation of the invaded districts by the enemy forces. In the northern French theater the British are centering their efforts south of Valenciennes to cave in the salient between that city and Le Quesnoy and move on toward the im portant Junction town of Maubeuge, with the two -fold purpose of finally encompassing Valenciennes and reaching the Belgian border. Everywhere the Germans are offer ing the stiffest of resistance, but nevertheless they have been com pelled to give up the town of Malng and most of the intervening points southward along the railway to La vnesmsy", whw' now is all but in British hands. Between the Oise and Serre rivers American naval gunners! with 16 inch guns have joined the French in their efforts to hammer their way northeastward toward Hirson, one of the, key point positions, in the Ger man lime. American shells from these guns are being hurled against both Vervins and Rozoy. Further j Progress has been made by . the .lKewise on both sides of the Meuse the Americans have advanced their line notwithstanding the strong resistance of the enemy. Numerous counter attacks have lieen launched by the Germans against the Ameri- cans, but all these have been suc cessfully sustained. The liberation of Rumania has been begun by entente forces after a years occupation by the Germans Crossing the northwestern portion of Bulgaria at Lompalanka, southeast or lne Iron Gates, French patrols ave forced a passiage of the Danube aT1(l entered upon Rumanian soil Ask Yourself. The weight of purely military ef fort in the great war has been put at only 25 per cent of the whole, the remaining 75 per cent being, strict ly speaking, of a non-military na ture, and made up of many elements agriculture, food, shipping, diplo macy,,, etc.- ':v When people . auk me, as they sometimes do, how the war Is get ting on, I feel inclined to reply, "Why ask me? Why not ask yourself and the remainder of the 75 per cent? Sir William Robertson, Former Chief British General Staff. REIDSViLLE LIEUTENANT WAS SCARED OUT OF HIS WITS j - - - i ' -:- " - .'.

TOBAGCO WAREHOUSES TO OPEN 1VEIER 4 But Madison and Other Markets Ad vertised That They Would Open This Week. County Hsalth Board Can Prevent Opening. People Are Complaining. In accordance with the request and advice of the State board of health the larger tobacco markets of the State have decided -to . postpone re opening for sales until November 4, this agreement including practically all the markets of the State. A Jew, however, gjave notice that Uiey would resume sales on Oct. 28 without re gard to the fact that they have been urged to remain closed aa a neces sary public health measure in con nection with the influenza epidemic and the furtner flact that to re-open would be In most unfair competition with their neighbors which remained closed. Specific complaints have been made with regard to the markets at Madison and Stonevllle. Other mar kets have protested against the dan ger and unfairness of the places pientioned opening wnne tne omers are still closed. .To these complaints the State board of health has pointed out that ' It has no authority further than to! request, but that the county boards of health have autocratic power in this respect. The county board of health is composed of the chairman if the board of county commission ers, the nuayor of the county seat town, the county superintendent of education, and two physicians so lected by these elected officials. The law gives the board of health in each county power to make such regula tions and impose such punishment for violations of refutations adopted as the board of health may deem necessary. The chairman of the county board of health points out that he should be held responsible for local conditions. Conductor Dixon Killed. W. F.

Dr. Frank R, Heine of Greensboro had this timely poem In a recent Ia sue of the Record; When first the Flu our old town hit I said I'd keep from geting it; So home I went and with great car I shut out drafts and shut out air, I sprinkled sulphur in my bhoos, Then loaded up on blockade booze, Some ,-caiomel and ''C.

To keep from feeling all forlorn I fraternized with Barley Cora; Then aspirin, say twenty grains, And codeine to keep off pains. I chewed tobacco, smoked it too. Then took a dose of Mountain Dew With Magic Dope I greased my chest Then crawled in bed and tried to ' rest; '. : I sprayed and gargled, wore tk . .mask, .' .
