WITH The British Armies, Oct. 9.-It
is a matter of conservation of man
W now and not so much the con-
%-servation of ammunition and foods as
1T has been in the past. This is learned
from recent military orders by high
German military authorities taken from
prisoners recently captured. In these
orders it is expressly ordered that more
care shall be taken of the men, that
they must be given every measure of
protection and not rushed in as mere
targets of the British and French as
they nay been repeatedly rushed until
recently.
Orders have long been extant for the
conserving of munitions and foods, but
this is the first time that anything
looking toward the conservation of men
has been sent out by the high powers:
1t indicates the man owe of the cen
trail powers is nearing exhaustion.

London, Oct. 9.-The allied leaders
believe the Germans are planning a new
sort of defensive-a defensive in the
air.
The Teutons have practically been
blown off the earth in Flanders and it
is apparent their U-boat bases on the
coast of Belgium are SO threatened that
q new air campaign is being set in
motion as a last resort.
The Germans are understood to be
mastering a great fleet Of powerful air
planes capable of carrying fuel enough
to last them 10 hours.
The future of civilization hangs in
the air, military leaders believe, and
all. or nearly all, depends on Americas
ability to produce great fleets of power
full air machines and furnish the men
capable of operating them.
For two days press reports from the
west front have indicated heavy artil-
lery fire from both the British and
French. On the French front the Ger
mans lave replied with considerable
vigor. Rain and bits of snow have
made infantry action u~nfavorable. The
undated violence of the allies fire has
led to much speculation n the belief
is general that they are starting a new
general assault.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Con-

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes for. ward and testifies to his fellow citizen, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly con- vinced or he would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated.
