 ruiiiiisu Armies
ARE ALL. WIPED OUT
General Allenby’s Victory Greater Than First
Reported. Most of
been Captured. Their Whole Transport Sys-
tem is in i'iands ol British,
(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

The weather which looked threat-

cleared by noon with a farewell
shower and the formal opening took
place at the appointed hour as ad-
vertlsed.
Last year -the exhibits amounted to
a -total of 4,301, which was the high-
est in the his‘t0ry of the Exhibition
Association. 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-

(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

tenacity the enemy has for several
days resisted the British advance to-

states that his troops yesterday morn-

British positions at one point and a
