Petain Reviews
Famous Division
IRr ne Assoclntnd Pressl


Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, July 24.-General Pc
tain, commander in chief of the
French armies on the French front,
who believes in close personal contact
with his troops, found time to-day,
while the battle was still in progress,
to review the famous division whose
four regiments won honors at Verdun,
Newport, the Somme and the Cham
payne. Every regiment gained the
fight to wear the Fourragere around
the shoulder, which indicates a unit
singled out for bravery.
Only three regiments paraded and
they presented the finest possible APP
pearance, with colors flying and bands
playing, as they passed the salutng
base. 1t was impossible to imagine
that they had been fighting for three
years, they were so well set and in
such perfect alignment.
General Petain addressed the officers
and congratulated them on their eff
fciency. He told them the division al
ways had kept up good morale despite
the hsrdships it had experienced, thus
setting an excellent example. He, him
self, was prepared with all the strength
Of his authority to assist his troopA
With such troops the war could end
only in victory.
General Petain encouraged them to
continue their courageous career, which
would lead them toward the decoration
of the Fourragere in the colors of the
military metal, the same as the famous
Foreign Legion.

AUSTRIAN

Vienna, July Our victory west of Tar
nopol has broken the resistance between the
upper Sereth and Tartar Pass. The Austro-
Hungarian and German divisions have ad-
vanced beyond the region of Podhaytse On
both sides Of the Dniester the pursuit Of the
Russians by the allied troops has compelled
them TO retreat on the whole front
1t Is still impossible by reason of the speed
with which events have taken place, to>ascer-
tain the number of prisoners and quantity Of
booty of every description and to examine
and bring in everything the Russians left
lying about in the fighting areas The Rus
sian leaders on other sectors with great
stubbornness, have endeavored 10 relieve the
pressure upon their Eastern Galcian armies
by means OF attacks Of varying intensity.
In the Carpathians this object was tempo
rarily achieved by means OF partial counter
attacks. In the three-land angle, in the
Ioelgyges region and between the Casino
and Putna valleys several such thrusts were
repulsed yesterday. In the Putna Valley the
Russians. in conjunction with Rumanian bat
talions, again advanced 10 the attack. In
Rumanan territory the Russo Rumanian at
lacks broke down under our artillery fire.
In ehe Italian theatre. on the Carso Pl,
teau and near Vodce. the artillery fire has
developed greater intensity.

ABOUT INCREASED INTEREST

There is talk in places that the interest the
next issue of federal bonds should be increased from
three and half per cent to four Presumng those who
buy liberty bonds mostly of the taxpaying class the
matter of interest would not much figure for they
would be taxed to meet the larger portion of the increased
interest Besides it looks bad for those who stay at home
to be demanding greater interest than the government
usually pays under normal conditions. The element of
patriotism should enter into the loan as well as the ques
tion of financial investment The boys who offering
their lives the front risking ALL and stayat
homes should be ashamed to be speculatng on their
necessities. We should be glad to put up money to
the last dollar to win the war; for if do not win it,
some axgatherer not generous to good old
Uncle Samuel has been will levy taxes that will not
only any question of interest, but will deprive
most of large part of the principal also. If Germany
should conquer she would levy tribute this country
greater than all the debt may be called to pay
So that in oaning money to the government are
only protecting ourselves and property The ques-
ton should not be how much money to get in the
shape of interest but how much spare to assist
the government in looking after interests and the
should be every dollar can dig, and live and con-
duct our business without.
