Aided First Captured German.

Newberry, Nov. 29.-Lieut. w. e.
Buckley, of Newberry, member of

expeditionary forces in France, has
had the distinction of rendering med
ical aid to the first German prisoner
captured by the American troops. The
honor, which has come to this young
Newberry physician, is appreciated
by Lieut.. Bickley's friends.
Lieut.. Buckley is son of MIR. J. S.

held commission as first lieutenant
in the army for several months. He
was ordered to France soon after re-
ceiving his commission, and saw act
i've service shortly after has arrival

War-Savings Certificates.

The man with limited means-even
the school boy or girl with a few pen
nies to spare now and then-who
wants a safe and profitable invest
ment which at the same time will
help the country, finds his opportun1-
ty in the new war savings certificate
plan.
During December, 1917, and Janu-
ary, 1918, war-savings stamps Will be
sold at $4.12 each, at postofhces'
banks, trust companies, aad many
business houses and factories
throughout the country. At the be-
ginning of each succeeding month the
cost of a stamp will increase l cent.
All war savings stamps issued during
1918 will mature January l, 1928,
when they will be redeemed at 50
each. The difference between pur-
chase price and the price at maturity
represents the interest the govern
ment will pay the holder, 4 per cent.
compounded quarterly.
The entire wealth and security OF
the United States is behind the war
savings certificates. No person may
purchase at one time more than SlOO
worth, or hold at one time more than
$1,000 worth of these securities.
Thrift stamps costing 25 cents each
may be purchased from time to time
and affixed to a thrift card, which is
supplied without cost. These stamps
will not bear interest, but a thrift
card when filled at cost of 81 may
be exchanged for an interest bearing
war savings stamp by turning the
card in and paying the difference be-
tween 81 and the current price of a
war savings stamp, With the first
war savings stamp bought the pur-
chaser will obtain without charge a
war savings certificate containing
space for 20 of these stamps.
If the 20 spaces are filled prior to
January /, 1918, the cost to the pur-
chaser will have been S4.12 for each
stamp, or sS2.4o for the filled certif-
icate, and on January l, 1928, the
Government will redeem it at S1OO,
giving the holder a net profit of ST.
60 for the use of his money.
Money derived from war savings
investments will be used to meet the
expenses of the war. The greater
part of thes funds will be expended
in the United States.

BYNG'S ARMY DRIVEN BACK
HUNS MAKE STRONG ATTACK AT
CAMBRIA.
Germans Pay Dearly for Their Ef-
fort, and British Retake Near
ly All Their Lost Positions.

December 1.-The Germans in
violent offensive over the entire front
where the British made their notable
gains last week have pushed back
Gen. Byng's troops at several points.
Especially severe was the attack be-
tween the Bourbon wood and Moeu-
vres, where the British line under its
impetus was driven back to the vicini-
ty of the Bapaume-Cambrai road
north of Graincourt-a distance of
about two miles. Likewise on the
southern base the enemy drove
through from Gonnelieu to Gouzeau-
court-another two miles. The viii
lage of Lavacquerie was captured by
the Germans, but later in a counter
attack was recovered.
Other counter-attacks have driv-
en- the enemy from Gouzeaucourt and
the ridge to the east.
Hard fighting is still in progress
over the greater portion of the fif-
teen-mile front.
In Palestine.
In Palestine on the line extending
from the northeast of Jerusalem to
the sea the Turkish forces, facing the
troops under Gen. Allenby are show
ing considerable activity. Several To-
cal fights have taken place, and these
according to Gen. Allenby, have had
results favorable to his men.

AMERICAN SOLDIER HANGED.
Had Outraged and Murdered Little
French Girl.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The execu-
ton of Private Frank Cadue, of the
infantry, for the rape and murder of
a seven-year-old French girl, in
France on November 5, has been ap-
proved by the War Department.
Cadue was hanged, after sentence
by a military court-martial, instead
of being shot, as had previously been
said. The record of the trial says he
confessed to the crime and pleaded
that being under the influence of
liquor he did not know what he was
doing.
In reviewing the case the War De-
partment considers that military law
has been complied with in every re-
spect. Cadue's was the first case Of
it's kind to occur in the American
army abroad.

British Lines Again intact.

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 2, 8 p. m.-Nine separate coun-
ter-attacks launched against Masnl-
eres by strong German forces yester-
day, were all repulsed after most
sanguinary fighting, although the
British pulled their line back some
what to lessen the sharp salient
there. An intense battle ragged all
day. and it is stated that the British
killed more Germans between day.
light and dark than in any similar
period since the war began. 1t was
virtually continuous fight from start
of the first counter-attack.l
The enemy infantry kept surging
forward in waves /and as each came
it was caught by the fire from the
British artillery, rifles and machine
guns. The attacking forces were
moved down like grain before the
reaper, but with characteristic Prus-
sian discipline they continued to I'LL
their ranks and advance until after
the ninth assault had failed.
During the afternoon the Germans
succeeded in capturing Les Rues Ver-
tes, a suburb south of Mesnieres' but
a British counter-attack delivered at
) o'clock pushed the enemy out again.
German guns on elevations south
and southeast of Masnieres late yes
terday were conducting heavy bonn
bardment against the town. The Brit
ish line at that time bulged around
Masnieres in very sharp salient,
which made the position an unenvl-
able one to hold at best. 1t seemed
quite apparent that if the British
should decide to withdraw slightly IN
the neighborhood of Masnleres ana
esta blish their line on the southeast
ern outskirts of the place their front
would be much improved, as the Brit
isb line was entirely dominated by
the high ground in the possession OF
the Germans.
The British a little before 2 o'clock
this morning made a local attack IN
moonlight on the German positions
north and northeast of Passchen-
daele and about the same time a
minor assault against the enemy front
northwest of Goeberg. These attacks
appear to have gone we'll as whole.
The British were held up in the
center along the ridge for time, put
for the most part we're reported to
have reached the objectives and to
have penetrated from 800 to 4oo
yards at numerous points. The at
tack about Goeberg involved two
strong German Notifications.
If the gain to the north along the
ridge is confirmed it will mean that
the British have added much to the
completeness of their observations In
this region.

Compressed Air Sends Missiles.

Many;of the mortars employed to-
day on the allied fronts are of the
compressed-air type, using a puff of
air or gas instead of powder to throw
the shell into the German trenches.
Present-day trench warfare has
caused the pneumatic cannon idea to
be developed after it had been laid
aside for many years as impractical.
Aside from being silent and inexpen-
siye, the pneumatic mortar is readily
manipulated 1t is used at ranges of
from $50 to 1000 feet, and is said to
be exceedingly accurate.
