FRENCH STURT
lEINJFENSI
IN THE CHAMPAGNE AND FUR
THER EAST. ,
Attack Against Germans From
Rheims To Verdun Is On a Wide
Front And Is Said To Be Pro
gressing Satisfactorily.
/ With the French Army in France,
v Sept. 26.—French troops today at
tacked in the Champagne in a thick
fog after a period of artillery pre
paration, which terminated in an hour
of the most intense drumfire. Early
reports indicate the attack is pro
gressing most favorably.
The attack launched this morning
s was on a wide front.
(By The Associated Bress.j
Paris, Sept. 26.—The French and
American troops began a joint at
tack this morning on the Cham
pagne front and in the region be
yond it on the east, the war office
announces. Renewed German at
tacks north of the Aisne were re
pulsed.
(Associated Press Summary.)
French and American troops today
sire storm|ng German positions
the Champagne and further east in
what apparently is another major
stroke by Gen. Foch. The offensive is
progressing satisfactorily, according
to early reports. On the Macedonian
front the British have invaded Bul
garia, while the other allied armies
are in pursuit of the hard pressed
enemy to the east and west of the
Vardar.
The length of the attacking front
in the Champagne was not disclosed
in the early reports, but the line pos
,.v"i5ibly runs from Rheims eastward
past Verdun to the southwest of
Metz. Great possibilities might re
sult from a successful allied advance
east of Rheims. The Germans’ com
munications might be severed and
the formidable enemy position from
Arras to Laon endangered, with the
important southern end outflanked.
In Macedonia the allies are ad
vancing all along the 130-mile “V”
shaped front between Monastir and
Lake Doiran.
Meanwhile the British continue to
progress northwest of St. Quentin.

London, Sept. 26— Field Marshal
Haig reports the British have con
tinued their pressure against Ger
man defenses northwest of St. Quen
v . tin and have captured enemy strong
points in the neighborhood of Selency
and Gricourt. The British line was
likewise advanced in tW,e Flanders
sector north of Labasse. German
counter attacks north of Gricourt
were repulsed.
(By The Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 26,-The fourth
Turkish army on the Palestine front
is virtually surrounded in the region
east of the Jordan and faces annihi
lation, today’s advices show. The to
tal number of prisoners already ta
ken is 45,000. The annihilation of
the fourth army would complete the
cleaning up of the Turkish forces in
Palestine, accounting for 80,000 men.
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon Bandy and
Mrs Con Dean returned last evening
from Little Rock, where they carried
little Jane Bandy to Dr. Caldwell to
have a penny removed from her
throat. It was very successful, being
removed in a few moments, but the
anxiety felt by the Parents was nat
t urally very unnerving. The baby
Swallowed the penny a week ago, but
it was not known that it had lodged
in her throat, until an X-ray exam
ination was made Monday night by
Dr. Gray, when the coin was located.

County’s Liberty Bond
Quota Reduced.
Jackson county’s quota of Fourth
Liberty Bonds has been reduced to
$396,000, according to a telegram re
ceived from Little Rock late Wednes
day by G. A. Hillhouse, chairman of
the organization in this county. An
nouncement a week ago stated the
county’s quota had been made $529,
000. This is a very reasonable fig
ure, and it is urged that every citizen
of Jackson county buy bonds. Satur
day and Sunday will be Volunteer
Days, when everbody will have op
portunity to subscribe to amounts,
and if one does not buy according to
his ability to do so, he will be urged
later by committees to invest further.
Six billion dollars is the minimum
wrhich the people of the United
States are asked to subscribe for the
loan, according to William McAdoo,
secretary of the treasury, in an ad
dress here tonight.
The share allotted to New York
Federal Reserve district is $1,800,
000,000, or 30 per cent of the great
est loan yet offered. The loan, which
1 will bear 4% per cent interest, will
run for 20 years, maturing October
! 15, 1938, unless the government
| should exercise its reserved right to j
j redeem the bonds on or after October !
| 15, 1933.
Following are quotas and percent- j
ages of the total by Federal Reserve
districts:
New York, 30; $1,800,000,000.
Chicago, 14V2; $870,000,000.
Cleveland, 10; $600,000,000.
Boston, 8 1-3; $500,000,000.
Philadelphia, 8 1-3; $500,000,000.
San Francisco, 6 1-10; $402,000,000.
Richmond, 4 2-3; $280,000,000.
St.. Louis, 4 1-3; $260,000,000.
Kansas City, 4 1-3; $260,000,000.

Atlanta, 3 1-5; $192,000,000.
Dallas, 2 1-10; $126,000,000.
ENTHUSIASM INDICATIVE
OF GREAT SUCCESS.
Little Rock, Sept. 26.—If enthusi-1
asm is an indication of intentions,.
Arkansas will give considerably i
more to the United War Fund cam- :
paign than the $869,55o asked for.
Three hundred very enthusiastic
county and district chairmen, vice- .
chairmen and chairmen of speakers’;
committees attended the conference (
in Little Rock Wednesday, presided ;
over by W. C. Ribonack, state chair
man, and listened to inspirational
speeches from a number of promi
nent war workers, but it was Fletcher
S. Brockman of New York who closed
the session that brought the big au
dience to its feet with his human in
terest and patriotic stories of the
war. Dr. Brockman, a Southerner,
spoke from the standpoint of a
southerner who had spent many
years in other climes, but who yet
and always will be a southerner. He
explained the human interest side of
the different campaign, and stated
that was the reason the government
did not conduct them—because that
would rob them of their human inter
est, and the parent of the right to do
something for his boy in the service.
Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the
secretary of the navy, who has four
sons in the service, was one of the
most interesting talkers. She de
clared that it gave her great relief to
work in the war activities, as it
