BATTLE FLARES UP
AS U. S. TROOPS
HOLD SHAM FIGHT

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Aug. 19.-The glare of real
war that suddenly broke over a sham
battle the American troops were en-
gagged in last night whetted the ap-
petites of the men for action more
than ever today.
The Americans were engaged in
grenade practice, firing rockets, and
generally working out the problems
OF modern warfare in darkness when
the horizon suddenly glared red. Gun
flashes could be seen. From the dis
tance could be heard the rumble OF
artillery. The battle on the line
along which the French and Germans
have been fighting for three years
was under way in all OF its intensity.
Far away searchlights could be
seen flashing in the sky, their long
fingers OF light probing the darkness.
Hundreds Of signal rockets and star
shells could be seen mounting and
bursting in the darkness. The puffy
smoke OF bursting shrapnel was visi-
BILE in the glare, and over all was the
sullen rumble OF the heavy guns.
When the war practice was finished,
the American soldiers fiocked TO hill
tops, where they viewed the spectacle
to better advantage.
It was pay day yesterday, and the
Americans invested more OF their
money in French bonds.

URGES IRON RULE
TO INSURE VICTORY

NEW YORK. Aug. 1o.-Russia must

Russian people are to play their full
part in the European war, according
to n statement credited to Boris
Savinkon. Russian associate war min
lister. by Herman Bernstein. New York
Herald correspondent
Il am convinced" the minister Is
quoted as saying, the will Of the
people can be strengthened, as can
the material forces of Russia, II the
country is TeorganiZcd, but this IS
possible only on condition Of authori-
tative power. Thus far. new Rus
sia has no such power. which has
caused all the chaos and misfortune.
when the win of the majority is
dictated by a minority, with force
II necessary. then Russia will be on
the road to happiness and recovery.
We are reorEanizinS the army now.
II would be a mistake to think that
repression alone can accomplish what
is needful. We are adopting measures
TO make a democratic army fit for
fighting. We shall make changes ia
the higher staff, eliminating all who
don't know the psychology of men
and are unpreparcd for the civic
change in Russia.
We must abandon the idea that
the war will end this year. 1t will
not end before next summer.
"A separate peace with Germany
is incOnceivable. Such a step would
be crime and madness. 1t is especial
ly happy that America has entered

a fracture or two. it wouldn't do him
a particle of good to bind up his
wounds with a wooden sock. What
he needs is dressings of sterile

two hours best in the evening. II
so, the workrooms should be open

URGES THAT COAL BE SAVED BY
 PEOPLE
Chairman of the Nation Coal Board Makes Proposition to
 Americans.
MAY MEAN A VICTORY

WASHINGTON, May 2S. - The pound of coal that you, Mr. Citizen, may save today, may contain the last grasp of energy necessary to drive a shell home true to the enemy, and spell victory instead of defeat. The pounds of coal many MT. Citizens may save today may forge the shells that may decide the war 1 in favor of worlds democracy.
 The pounds of coal many MT. Citi- zens may save on many days may hasten the end of the war and save thousands of lives.
 This is the statement of Francis S. Peabody, Chairman of the National | Coal Board Council of National De fense, in an appeal issued today to all of the people of the country in an effort to have them conserve in the use of fuel so that there may at all times be a sufficient quantity available for battleships, the muni tion factories, the railroads, and all enterprises that are making mater ials for use in the war.
 'It is not that we do not have the coal in this country continued Mr. Peabody. Perhaps no country in the world is so blessed with such a superabundance, but it is a question of digging it out of the ground fast enough and having prompt deliveries by the railroads at the places where it is most needed.
 "The less coal the householder us for the essential industries, the men of which in this industrial war are all soldiers as much as the man who wears a uniform and marches to the front.
 "But the householder asks where he comes in. In the first place, in many homes throughout the country he can maintain a less number Of coal fires. He can even shorten the number of hours they are in opera ton. He can see that gas stoves are turned off as soon as the cooking is over When the weather is cool, he can carry lower temperatures in his home than he has been accus- toned to, unless there is illness in the house. A temperature of sixty degrees instead of seventy is suf- ficient Then he can operate fewer gas and electric lights and see that

EMPLOYEES OF U. P.
 URGED TO PURCHASE
 LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The Union Pacific Railway system has sent circular letter to each of it's employees urging them to pur- chase Liberty Loan bonds to the limit of their ability. The letter sets forth that the railroad system has subscribed for $5,000000 worth of the bonds and wants it's employees to help all they can.
 The letter offers that any em- ployee who wishes to subscribe for bonds can notify their department head and that the railroad company will advance the money and hold it out of the wages of the employee at the rate of So per month. The rail road will also collect the interest for the length of time it takes the em- ployee to pay for the bond, after which it will be delivered to the sub scriber
