FOR THE THRIFTY

Minneapolis, Nov. Livery one Of
the 700 mill employees of the Wash
burn-Crosby Company, who have put
into the savings bank as high as $50
during the past six months will today
have added to his bank account a
check for $25 from his boss. Those
who saved less will receive checks
of half the amount they have saved.
The gift of the company to each of
its thrifty men is the second award
for thrift. Last spring the flour COM
pany gave each man check for $25,
which was not good unless deposited
in n savings bank. In order to foster
the saving habit, this big start was
made for each man. The next step
was to reward those who gained the
habit Of saving, and today there are
many smiling faces at the mills.

DON'T LIST
For Hunters Given Out By
State Game Warden

Columbus, O., Nov. Ito eliminate
hunting accidents and encourage con-
sideration by hunters of land owners
rights, Gen. John G. Speaks, state fish
and game warden, Saturday issued a
warning statement relating to the
rabbit season, which opened Monday
and continues through next New
Years day.
First, IL you intend hunting on
lands other than your own, be sure to
have the owners permission before
entering any premises. If not coming
within the exemptions be sure to
have a license; carry it with you and
exhibit 1t promptly on request Of any
person authorized to inspect licenses.
Don't shoot while hunting near
houses, barns or other buildings, near
stock or where teams are at work.
Look out for the man husking corn
or otherwise at work in the fields. Do
not cut or injure wire or other fences
or property of any kind; remember
you are greatly favored when permit
ted to hunt and make certain that the
person extending the courtesy has no
occasion to complain of reckless or
unsportsmanlike conduct. Read the
suggestions printed on the back Of
your license.
Remember your license merely au-
thorizes to hunt IL you are complying
with every law relating to the SUBJ
ject. It does not permit you to en-
ter any premises without the owners
permission. The absence of no hunt
ing signs does not change the situa.
ton.
Remember all the safety first
slogans and recommendations. Don't
load the gun until you are in the
fields or woods where game might be
expected. Never permit the loaded
gun to be pointed toward any persons
within range. When going through
brars, high weeds or underbrush
keep the muzzle well elevated.
"The safest plan when going over
fences is to withdraw the cartridges.
When going through fields or woods
where no opportunity for an immed-
late shot is expected 1t Is good plan
to carry the gun broke and resting
on the forearm.
"Above all things do not place a
loaded gun In an automobile, buggy,
wagon or house, and don't leave it in
any place or under any conditions
which will call for the umeworn and
inexcusable didn't know it was load.
ed
Rabbits are plentiful and most
land owners want them thinned out.
II only hunters carefully respect the
trespass and other laws relating to
this subject, hunting can be contin-
ued and regarded as legitimate and
healthful form Of recreation. There
has been wonderful improvement in
this respect the last few years, with
the result that the attitude Of land
owners toward the hunter has chang.
ed correspondingly."

ALLIES TO ADVANCE
Rumor That They win Begin Push
In October.

London, Aug. 29.-Artillery has
been the chief arm employed today
on the western line. The greatest
activity has been displayed by the
guns of the Allies, which have been
shelling virtually the entire German
line. In addition, the Allies have
been using their aircraft in large
squadrons to lombard German bar
racks and positions.
1t is being vaguely limited here that
mid-October has been chosen as the
time for the long postponed big
push" of the Allies, but the point at
which an attack is to take place is
not mentioned. The general public
does not expect a strong offensive
movement as yet, but in some circles
there would be no surprise should
General Joffre, the French Command
er in Chief, find it possible to at
tempt some kind of forward move
ment before that date

To Pay for War Munitions Manu-
fatured in This Country
ABOUT s2O,OOO,oOO IN GOLD
May Help to Check Fall in Sterling
Exchange Which has Dropped
Steadily Since August IL.

New York, Aug. 30-The second
large shipment of gold and securities
from the Bank of England to ]. p.
Morgan & Co., arrived here early
this morning and was removed from
the depot Of the American Express
Company in 25 trucks under the pro-
lection of 3S armed guards, the gold
going to the United States sub-treas-
ury in Wall Street. and the securi-
ties to Morgan e Co.
There were 700 boxes of gold in
this shipment, the same number as
arrived here on August IL, and its
total value was between $19,000,000
and $20,000,000. The value of the Sc
curities was not known with exact
ness to the officials of the American
Express Company, but they said
that the total value of the shipment
was recorded on their books at S55,-
000,000 so that the value of the Sc
curities would be about s35,000,000.
Representatives of the express com
Dany and of j. P. Morgan & Co. re-
fused to say whether there were to
be further shipments, but it is believ-
ed that several more such consign-
ments are coming
The first shipment arrived in a
British cruiser which was escorted
through the submarine zone and ac-
ross the Atlantic to Halifax by flo
tilla of torpedo-boat destroyers. This
squadron had time, after bringing ov-
er the first shipment, to return and
get the second consignment.
The securities are all American is
sues and they are being sent here to
be held as collateral for loans to
help nay for the huge purchases of
munitions of war for England, which
are being handled here by ]. p. Morg-
an & Co, and to check the fall in
sterling exchange, which has dropped
from S4.S7 before the war to S462 IL
at present. Since the arrival of the
treasure On Aug Il the value of the
pound has decreased steadily, and on
Saturday it was worth II cents less
than on Aug. r.

Berlin, Aug. 20, (via London,)-
There has been much speculation
here concerning the limits to which
the pursuit OF the Russians would be
pressed Some have assumed that
the advance would not be continued
much beyond Brest-Litovsk, but the
impression is now general that the
pursuit viii proceed so long as it
continues giving paying returns in
captives or offers chance to bring
the fleeing armies to bay. Meanwhile
"A permanent line of defense WI be
selected and fortified as a barrier
against a new Russian offensive, it is
stated.
The Russian armies retreating
north and south of Brest-Litovsk are
separated by the Rotlkno swamps
and military men here say say that
the Austro-German strateSists are in
n. position to mass forces at will
against either Russian wing and ex-
pose it to a crushing defeat. Dispatch
es received here today say that the
Russian resistance behind Brest-
Litoysk has been broken. and that
the pursuit of the Teutons is being
pressed with all the energy laid
down in the German manuals.
Samary, where German cavalry
yesterday defeated Russian cavalry
division, is forty miles east of Brest-
Litoysk. The military experts say
that this mounted force of Germans
is now in a position to bite deep into
the flank of the retreating Russians
and bag many prisoners, if not to con
vert the retreat into utter rout.
The Austro-German troops have
now also broken the Russian lines
along the Zlota Lipa River in East
Galicia the Teutons resuming activi-
ty on a section of the front where for
long time they have been merely
holding their positions.
Military experts express the belief
that the invaders soon will be eXpel-
led from that little corner in East
Galicia where alone they have been
able to maintain a foothold ON Aus
trian soil.
