by an eye witness from English army

by continual bombardment interspersed
with local assaults.
Some of the prisoners captured were
very young.
The enemy is still fighting with a
stubborness and a recklessness which
are remarkable when exhibited by
forces OF which a large proportion
consists OF comparatively unframed
men. In spite of the lack of officers.

seventeen have faced guns, marched
steadily up to the muzzles of rifles and
met death in droyes without flinching.

town consumer within reach OF local
trade IL accepted. The association will
distribute through the mails December
a booklet advertising Washington as
- retail center. This booklet, bearing
the names of firms and dealers. will be
sent to $4,000 firms and individuals
within the radius of the first two zones
of the parcel post.
An urgent appeal was made last
night to the public to cooperate in
the shop early movement, not merely
as a means to help solve the problem
that faces the dealers during Christ
mas week, but because OF the benefits
to be derived by buyers.
Publicity also will be given the move
ment by means OF newspaper and street
