TEMFLK DAILY TUUSUIIAM, TKMfLUJ, TEXAS, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1918.
Inforceraents have been throwu into the battle in Champagne
to halt the advance of the French toward the important
junction town of Vouzieres, but nevertheless General
tiouraud's men have pressed forward northward from the
region east of Rheims to the northern fringes of the Argonne
forest, taking many positions of the highest, strategic value.
Meantime the Americans also have advanced their front,
capturing Brieulles-Sur-Mouse and Komagne and at last ac-
counts were progressing favorably northward along the Mouse
valley and to the east or the Argonue forest, the turning of
which by the combined forces of General Gouraud and
General Liggett seems probable within a short time.
The Bulgarian delegates who are endeavoring to arrive
at terms with the allied forces under which Bulgaria will
quit the war have arrived in Saloniki but the Italian, French,
Greek, Serbian and British armies are keeping up their drive
across southern Serbia and into Bulgaria. Krushevo, the Bul-
garian base twenty miles north of Monastir, has been captur-
ed by the Italians, in front of whom the Bulgarians are in
rapid retreat. The Serbians have won the important mountain
range of Plachkovitsa, south of Koehana, while to the east the
British and the Greek forces have taken further territory from
the enemy in the region of Lake Doiran and across the border
In Bulgaria.
In Palestine the victory over the Turks is all but complete.
Friday night General Allenby had counted 50,000 prisoners and
300 guns.
The losses of the Teutonic allies on the western front
since the allied offensive began July IX, have been 200,000
men made prisoners, and .1,000 guns, 20.000 machine guns
and enormous quantities of material captured.

Thrilling Air Exploit.
With the American Army
Northwest of Verdun, Sept. 2#.—
American aviators ngitlii demon-
strated Saturday thai they are
the masters of the air on this
sector. They engaged In fifty-
two eomhnts and brought down
tldrty-tlirce enemy machines
without the losa of one Ameri-
can pilot.
Captain diaries T. Trickrt, of
Sander, Tex., acting as an ob-
server, today saved his own life
and Hint of Ills pilot by a thrilling
exploit In tl»c sir. The gasoline
tank of the airplane was set on
fire by a Cierman aviator's ma-
chine gun while the American
machine was a thousand yards
In the sir In the region of
XanUllois.
When the fire burst from the
tank hrtwen the seats of tin'
pilot and the observer, Captain

extinguish the flames, which the
wind was forcing In Ids direction.
To remain In Ids seat meant to
l>e burned to death.
Captain Trk ket's only recourse
van to cUmb out on the wing of
he machine and cling to the
wire*. This he did and the pilot
then steered the machine safely
to earth.
JYeucIl Report.
Paris, Sept. 29—On the western
nf thfl chmnin Dee Dames the
French have reached the River Allette
at two points, says the statement from
the war office today. In Champagne
altar repulsing strong attacks the
French have taken the heights of
Believue, northeast of Gratreull.
The text of the statement reads:
"Xorth of the Aisne the pursuit of
the enemy continued during the
night. The French occupied the
forest of Pinon and reached the
Ailette In that region ami also east
of Chavignon. On the sector between
Ostel and Chavonne (just north of the
Aisne) the enemy made strong re-
sistance against the advance of our
troops.
"On the Champagne front violent
attacks were launched by the Ger-
mans yesterday hut they were broken
up. The French troops resumed their
progress, especially northeast of
Gratreull. where they captured the
heights of Believue."
English Keport.
London, Sept. 29.—latest dis-
patches from the western front say
that everything is going well and that
the ajlies have made distinct progress
In all sectors under attack.
Between Dlxmude and Ypres, six
thousand prisoners have been cap-
tured and the Germans have been
pressed back from four to five miles.
The fall of Cambral is considered
only a matter of time, and the allies
having gained an Important footing
on the eastern side of the underground
canal In the neighborhood of Belll-
court, there is every likelihood that
St. Quentln soon will share a similar
fate.
The French are making steady
progress in Champagne and the enemy
apparently is retiring from the
Chemin Pes Dames.
In Serbia.
London, Sept. 29.—Large fires are
burning around the Important base
of Uskub towards which the Serbians

Sept. 27. They are pursuing the
enemy and have taken the Plach-
lcovtisa range and are near Charevo
(six miles from the Bulgarian
border), and St. Nicholas.
"Serbian forces are now north of
Veles. There are big fires around
Uskub.
"The Serbians alone up to the pres-
ent time have captured 110 guns and
uncounted numbers of trench mortars
and machine guns."

an important Bulgarian baso twenty

with great Impetus and overwhelmed.
"Our columns, hard pressing his
rear guard? occupied Krushevo on
the following day and on the 27th In

Amsterdam, Sept. 29.— The Ameri-

Metz Is getting on the nerves of the
German people. This Is emphasized
by a correspondent of the Bhensiche
Westplialian Gazette of Essen, who
visited Metz on Thursday.
When the bombardment of the
fortress was started, the inhabitants
of the city believed an air raid was in
progress and took to their cellars.
When the truth became known many
persons left the city but most of them
now have returned. Between Sept.
23 and 26 the correspondent says
shells fell in the outskirts of the city
"where the forts are located" killing a
few prisoners and doli g damage to
i property.
