General Allenby’s Victory Greater Than First
Reported. Most of

(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON. Sept. 24.-The seventh
and eighth Turkish Armies have vir- tually ceased to ex-ist. That statement cabled to the War Office by General Allenby describes the situation in Palestine. Most of the guns of the Turks have been captured: their en- tire ‘transport is in the hands of tho British troops. The forts of the Jour- dan are guarded, tihe roads leading north 'into Galilee and the Lebanon are all occupied and the work that remains to 'be done is that of rounding up the fugitlves. It is estimated that when Turks now ‘wandering aimlessly
the Turks Guns havg
about in the mountains are gathered in there will be about 40,000 prison- ers. A feature of the pursuit has been the effectiveness of British army services. Foilowing`rt'he reatreatlng Turks they have showered bombs- up- on them and pursued ifhem with mac- hine gun tire so that they were eager to surrender when intercepted by the pursuing troops. The cavalry of the cloud iproves extraordinarily ei- lective in pursuit as well as the cav- alry of the fields. The victory of the Allied armies in Mlaicedonia is far greater than earlier despatches in- dicated.
LIIUI. WALTER INGS
KILLED IN IIIIIIIIN
Son oi_I.t. Col. ings of this City. . Served in Snlonikl und France.
Lieut. Col. ings received sad news
late yesterday afternoon, when a tele- gram came to him from the war of- fice, London, announcing -that his eldest son. Lieut. John Walter ings had been killtd in action in France.
Deceased who was o_nly twenty
years of age went from the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ont.. in
september, 1916 to England. where he joined the Royal Engineers. He served for some time in Salonikl where he contracted malaria and was invallded to Malta and later back to, England. After his health became restored he went to France in June of this year and joined his unit--the 56th Field Company, Royal -Imperial Engineers where he had been devot- edly doing his duty until his -brave young life was suddenly- terminated.
To Colonel and Mrs. Ings and the
other mem-bers of the family the deep sympathy of the citizens of Charlotte town and the Province generally'will go out in this the sudden sorrow thai has come .to them.
PAIIJLIN FULL AT
. THE P
A Splendid Play Capi Gladys Kiark Co. to
Enioyable Specialties.
“PAID IN FULL.” Was pre-
sented last night at the Prince Ifld- ward, and it goes without saying to a packed house. The theatre was crowded with theatre goers looking for entertainment and their desires were gratified- to the uttermost. Last night was no exception to thc rule and the curtain went down on the lastact with thc audience en- tirely pleased with the performance.
The play is in four acts and grips
the attention from thc start. A suc- cessful Pacific Coast sealing cap- tain is operating a large Steamship line in New York City. He has iii his employ two men who are great friends, one of which is thc cashier of the firm, but not a successful one from his own point of view. He has socialistic ideas, disatisiicd with everybody and everything, be-
cause his emplloyer has more money than he has. e has also a wife, who has a mother and sister, both of whom, are always twitting the poor wife about her work, her drudgery and having no servant. Their con- ncction with the casl1ier's wife ang- ered him very much. This together with the fact that he couldn’t get an increase in his wages same as other emplo ees makes him des-

and to clear himself, to save him from thc prison sells, he was satis- fied to do anything even to sell thc honour of his wife. But Captain Williams, the head of thc firm, al-` though being a hard man, a slavc driver, and an admitted nian killer would not accept .from the coward- of a husband the honour of his wife. but wrote a certificate of character for the husband, “PAID IN FULL.” `
The curtain went down.on thc
scene of thc wife leaving for always hcr worthless husband, who slunk in a chair dcjccted and forsaken.
The play h`as_a good moral, and
should be seen to be appreciated. ,I- E. Balfour, the Manager of thc Company, played splcndidly thc part of the friend of the family. Chas. Newhart, the cashier, H. Harry Hoy, the employer, Ben Craig, the japanese servant of thc latter, won fresh laurcls.
Gladys Klark was the Wife Of the
cashier, and her acting left nothing to be desired. Jeannette Connors, and Mable Grand, as the mother and sister of the cashicr’s wife did splendidly.

tion will bc repeated, to-night “PLAYIT'HINGS” by Sydney

This year owing to the many set-backs the farmers have 'ex- perienced in the way oi’ unfavorable weather, it would not be expected that a great showing would be maiie. They, however, have done far bet- ter than might be expected. The to- tal number of exhibits this year is 3,711 the nina highest in the ilia- tory of the Association which re- flects great credit on the t`i\rmers especially when it ls taken into con- sideration ` that the prizes of nec-

Advance on Bulgaria.
(Special to The Guardian)
I’Alil5, Sept. 24.-The Franco-Serb- ian forces which crossed the Nidle' Mountains have cut the enemy rail and road coininunications in the val- leys ol' the Varilur aiiil tho Corna :intl forced the Bulgars and Germans to retreat all along the front. ln south- ern Macedonia the ilrst Bulgarian army which. in conjunction with cer- tain German for-niatlons, holds that part of the front from Monustier east- ward to thc Nidji range has been cut off from communication with the second Bulgarian army which before its retreat had been engaged for sev- eral days in a prolonged battle with the British and Greek troops in the Lake Doiran sector. .In the case ot' both armies disaster threatens as the result ot’ the cutltng off ot' their rail communications. Those of the second army depended on the main line of the liskuli Salonlki Ilailway and this has been crossed and destroyed by the French a short distance from Negolin. The ilrst Bulgar army which is operating a long way from rail- hcad had Its forward base at Prilep at Prilep on the Cornea. The branch railway from Krivolki Prilep is now in the hands of the Serbs. If they can secure also the Basbuna pass through which runs the main road from Monastir to the valley of the Vardar andthe Bulgarian front the ilrst Bulgarian army will be in a posi- tion of 'extreme peril.
The Italians troops who hold that
part of the Macedonia and Albanian
front between Monastll' and tho cout have joined i nthe advance, A bulletin from Rome states that they have pushed forward for a distance of over ten miles north east of Monastlr on the General line of the Prilep road and have taken a strong mountain position and sixteen villages. There is no longer reason to doubt that the Allies have inflicted a decisive do- feat on the Bulgars. The Serbs alone have taken almost 10,000 prisoners
‘and 120 guns and the Serb army is
but one of the five engaged in the operations.
The hard fighting Buigars who held
that .part of the front between Lake Doiran and the Vardar have at last been forced to give way and British troops are now advancing northward along the west bank of the Vardar to Join hands with the French at Nag- otin. They should cut oil' many strag- glers from the ilrst Bulger army in this operation as well 'ds take heavy toll of the -men of the second army who are falling back before them. The -British report says that the Bulgars are burnling their stores and are crowding along the road northward -heavily bombed and machine gunned -by the Royal Air Force.
The Greeks will soon be free to be-
gin an invasion of Bulgaria by way or me valley or the st-ruins in the region east ot Lake Doiron. It was announced yesterday thhtallled city; azlry -are already. .within three milei of the Bulgarian border. `

Sir Douglas Haig states that his troops yesterday morn- ing captured a German strong point that had /been stufbbornly defended for three days. To the north, in the Villers, Guislan region, the enemy during a counter-attack entered the British positions at one point and a party of Germans still hold out there. The lighting on the -out post lines of the lllndenburg defence system has been much more severe than that in the period of open warfare which preceded it.The capture by the French ol the fort and village of Vendeull, located on high ground upon the west bank. of the' Oise about three and a hall’ miles north of Lafere, carries the army of Debeny through the out- post line of the Hindenburg system
