Five billion dollars and ten million
subscribers-that is the goal to which
officials hope to drive the campaign

Many Bombs Are Dropped In Strong
est Attack Vet Made

London.-The strongest air attack
yet attempted on London and the
coast towns by the Germans, was car
ried out by four groups OF hostile air
planes. Some of the machines got
through to London and bombed the
southwestern district. No casualties
or damages has been reported.
A terrific barrage was seLt up from
the defense guns and the roar OF bat.
tie lasted intermittently for two and
q half hours
The Germans bombed coast towns
as they passed over and proceeded
toward London. Two of the group
succeeded in getting a number OF ma
chimes through the sky barrage. Nu-
merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district which is thickly
populated with the homes of the up
per and middle classes. The fire from
the defending guLs was longer and
louder than ever before. A rain OF
shrapnel fell in all sections of the
town and the streets were virtually
deserted save for a few police.
The weather was perfect for air
operations as there was a bright full
moon, with no clouds or wind. The
people OF London were expecting a
raid and were awaiting for signals.
Soon after o'clock motors OF the
volunteer corps sped Through the
streets blowing their sirens and dis.
playing an illuminated notice "Take
cover" The telephone exchanges no.
titled their subscribers and other meas
ures were put into execution to in.
form the populace OF the pending air
raid.

Thirty-fve cents the

the conclusion of farmers in Colum-
bia when more than 100 cotton grow
ers from all sections of the state met
to discuss the question of cotton val
ues and to initiate holding move
ment.
Extreme shortage in the world sup
ply of cotton. greatly increased cost
of production and the unusually high
scale of prices obtaining for fabrics
and cottonseed products were ad-
vanced in justification of price fixing
II was emphasized that the farmers
desire only fair price for their cot
ton and that the figures are proper
tionate with other raw material"
and that the cotton growers are enti-
tied to living.
To acquaint the cotton growers
throughout the state as to the stu

an educational campaign is to be
conducted, with meetings in every
township. H. T. Morrison was in

The object of the meetings will be to

Another important fact emphasized

BRITISH HAVE GOOD SUCCESS
FIELD MARSHAL tfAiG's MEN ARE
AGAIN STRIKING IN FLAN-

Veritable Inferno Of Artillery Fire Is

Field Marshal Haig's men again are

good results on front of nearly six
miles
Notwithstanding the necessity of
carrying the battle to Crown Prince

virtually a morass owing to recent
rains and against the inevitable con-
crete and steel redoubts and woods
and shell craters teeming with rapid
fire guns-the English. Scotch and
Australian troops have snatched val
liable vantage points from the Ger
mans. but not without terrible oppo-
sition.
Location of New Drive.
Haig's new thrust was delivered
from the base or front line positions
captured and consolidated last week
before which the Germans held nu-
merous vantage FONTS OF strategic
value. barring the way to further in
roads by the British or for harassing
the' British line by machine gun and

hours of Wednesday morning and
when night fell many important posi-
tions had been 'riddcd of the enemy,

right Of way.
Probably the most significant gain

cutting OF this liue, which seems to

south.
