French lines. though their attacks
were everywhere repulsed.
The operations of maximum i'm
portance were north OF verdun. where
the enemy made use of liquid fire in
an effort to record some distinct sue
cess.
The outstanding feature OF the re-
cent engagements is the wastCge OF
the man power of the enemv. So
great has the wastage become, owing
to the improved mechanical means of
the allies and the perfection % their
methods OF combat, that the Germans
are obliged to maintain in reserve as
a minimum guarantee for the safety
,, OF their battle line in the west at
least forty divisions.
Emulating their German allies, the
Austrians have made desperate at
tempts to regain the lost ground
which the Italians have taken during
their offensives OF the past few
weeks.
II is especially along the Boinsizza
plateau that the Austrians concen-
trated their efforts. Not only were
their attacks unsuccessful, but the
Italians were even able to extend
their gains as a result OF further ter
rain lost by the enemy.
The Italians have now completed
the occupation of the entire Balm
sizza plateau and are consolidating
their positions there.
Along the other sectors OF the
Italian front in the Trentino and the
Julian Alps, the enemy made various
! minor assaults, which were easily
repulsed.

News from Russia continues slight.
Further re-enforcements of the enemy
forces are recorded in the Riga Sec

mans contemplate extending their
gains across the DwInG
The German offensive was halted
after the capture of Riga, apparent
ly to resume the Roumanian cam
paign with a view to completing the
conquest of Moldavia and, II possible,
pushing on into Bessarabia in order
to seize the rich grain and other sup
plies known to be stored there.
The assembling of the national
army in the cantonments has gone
on with smoothness and success.
Equipment difficulties are not seri-
Gus and are being rapidly overcome.
The most obvious shortage is in
rifles: but an adequate supply for
all purposes will soon be at hand,
and no delay in training results from
the shortage. All over seas forces are
OF course adequately supplied.

written to the national headquarters
calling for the help OF the scouts. The

Another opportunity has developed
for the members OF the Boy Scouts Of
America to help our country. The
second Liberty loan bond issue must
be subscribed in such q way as to
show the firm resolution OF our peo-
pie in the present war.
NY earnest wish Is that every

in this practical method OF giving eX-
preston to his scout obligation OF
service to our country"

CAMPAIGN TO FILL
j. S. WAR CHEST
BEGUN WITH VIM

Every agency at the command OF
the Government will be utilized for
Americas second call for volunteer
dollars to fill the national war chest.
When the second Liberty loan OF
1917 was proclaimed in every city
and town, every village and hamlet
in the country, by the ringing of
church and school bells and the blow
ing OF factory whistles at noon, there
was set in motion the biggest volun-
teer organization ever modified for
similar service in the history OF the
world. There is not a section OF the
country that IL not covered, and there
is scarcely q person in all the 10O,-
900, 900 Of the country who will not
be personally solicited TO do his or
her bit in aiding the Government in
the war.
OfneIaIs CONFIDENT.
This machine, tried out in the first
Liberty loan with wonderful success,
has been enlarged and perfected to
such an extent that Government off,
ciaIs are confident that the goal set
by Secretary McAdoo for the second
Ioan-a minimum OF $4,000, 100000 and
10, 900, 900 subscribers-will be easily
reached and passed.
The United States is divided into
twelve Federal reserve districts, and
the activities in each district will be
guided from the district headquarters.
From thetNew York district. with
its minimum quota OF S90O,0OO.O00. 70
the Dallas district, with its $T5, ,000.O 900,
every section has been fully advised
as to what is expected OF it.
In addition, the campaign will be
carried even to our military camps
along the western front. Every Of
ficer and private in the army will be
given opportunity to subscribe to the
loan as a measure OF protection for
his family.
The fifth Federal reserve district.
OF which Washington is a part, is to
raise a minimum OF S115.000,O00. The
quota for the Capital has not been
announced, but 1t is expected that this
city will be called upon for at least
$4,000. 900, one-ffth of the amount
expected from the entire Dallas re-
serve district.
