WAR SUMMARY.

| The Germans are now giving
ground over the entire 150-milt
battle front from Ypres t.
Rheims.
Seemingly the question wheth.
er the Germans will be able to
hold even relatively their present
line from Flanders to Champagne
is being answered. And the
answer apparently is in the mega
tive.
The strategy Of General Foch,
the necessity of falling back in
Flanders, Artois and Picardy,
now likewise is compelling the en-
envy to withdraw between Sois-
sons and Rheims, northward to-
ward the Disc in order to avert
disaster.
Outfanked on all defensive
orks along the western part Of the
battle line and in great danger of
a turning movement eastward
from the regions of Noyon and
scissors, the German high com
mand at last has been forced to
begin the retrograde movement
in the Soissons-Rheims sector
which the military experts long
had predicted would be necesi-
tated through the sue cesses of the
British, French and American ar
mics.
The climax to the German ma
neuvers along the Vesle culmi-
mated when the French virtually
swept away the last remaining
portion Of the old salient in the
region of Noyon and the French
and Americans north of the Sois-
sons and along the Vesle reached
positions dominating the Aisne
and the Chemin des Danes and
crossed to the north side of the
Vesle on a front of nearly twenty
miles.
All behind the front toward the
Aisne huge fires are to be seen
where the enemy is making away
as fast as possible northward, in
all probability harassed by out
posts of French and American
troops and by artillery fire and
the machine guns and bombs of
the Allied aviators.

How to Save Food.

In these days when the high
cost Of living pinches nearly ev.
cry home, no waste should be
overlooked. One of the most
fragrant and the most easily pre-
vented, is the destruction of food
by rats. One rat will often do
hundred dollars damage of
food and property in single
night, and careful estimate gives
over $20O,OOO,OOO as the value Of
foodstuffs destroyed annually by
these pesets. Exterminate them
with tSearns' Electric Paste and
save this enormous loss of food.
A small box of Stearns' Electric
Paste costs only a few cents and
is usually enough to completely
rid the house of rats and mice;
also effective against cockroachcs
and waterbugs.

ger of arrest and severe punish
ment, but your country will be in
danger. For as Chief of Stat
Peyton G. March says, THE only
way that Germany can be whipped
is by America going into this wal
with her whole strength!
"The first draft obtained almost
three million men. Two million
more are needed. With an
American Army of 100000 men,
says General March, we can GO
through the German line wherever
we please
"To get the rest of this five
million, all men between the ages
noted above must register. There
are about thirteen millions of
these. But the draft boards will
discard the unfit. those with large
families and those in war indus
tries-and leave gigantic army
of determined men who are ready
to rid the world Of the menace Of
the Huns.
"The Government is very busy
it may be days before the reg
istration can be checked up and
it be determined whether or not
you have registered. Don It wait
for this checking up'-act as
man should, and register on Sept.

MORE THAN MILLION AND
HALF u. s. BOYS AT
E FRONT.

Washington, Sept. Am
nouncement today by Genera
March, chief Of staff, that more
than 100000 American troops
had been embarked for all fronts
up to August 81, furnished new
measure Of the forces Marshal
Noch has at his disposal with
which to follow UP the victories
already won on the western front.
Included in the American ship
ment are men sent to Italy and
Siberia. the arrival of Major Gen.
eral Graves, the American COM
mander, at Vladivostok with near
" 400 men of the forces directed
to Russia.
The number of men sent else
where than to France, however,
Is less than 10000 leaving more
than a million and half Amer
ican troops available for use of
the supreme commander in the
great battle.
The size of the American force
becomes increasingly important
in the scope of the new British
assault at the very center of the
German line on the Douai- Cam
brai front.
In the opinion Of army officials
here, the break down of the Ger
man defense lines on this front |
may prove the entering wedge for
Allied successes of sweeping
nature since the fact that General
Pershing's army has not yet been
largely employed is proof that
Marshal Foch has ample reserves
with which to press his advant-
Ege.
In his midweek conference with
newspaper correspondents, Gen
eral March reviewed briefly the
battle situation of the last three
Of four days, noting particularly
that the British in the most i'm
pressive phase Of the battle, east
Of Arras. had smashed their way
across the Hindenburg line on an
eight mile front with Cambria as
their objective. The major en-
emy resistance along the whole
sixty-mile battle front from the
Scarpe to the Disc, he said, had ;
been encountered and overcome /
by the British and the advance of
the French troops last week when
they gained five or six miles on a
fwenty-five-mile front in single
- was due largely to with

General March pointed out also
- indicating the rapidity with
which the battle front is shifting
under the steady drive of the Al /,
lied armies, that the British had !
pressed ahead fourteen miles ,
since they launched their attack i
on August 81. Ii
Even as General March talked,

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES.

From the Emergency Fleet News we
learn that the Coast Shlpbuilding com.
pany Of Portland. Ore, has started a
new fashion In the ceremony Of launch.
ing. III. II. Pennell, president Of the
company tells the story thus:
"When about to launch the 'Cabura,
the first Of this month, we bethought
ourselves Of the waste connected with
the following Of the time-honored Gus.
tom Of christening new ship by
breaking bottle Of wine across her
bows, and although we would advocate
nothing to dcract from the pleasure
and satisfaction Of putting a good new
ship into the water, we thought at this
prOprlate to utilize the money usually
spent for ships christening for the
purpose of aiding the distrcsses of the
dependent children Of French and Bel
CLANS, and, instead of bedecking the
ship with ribbons and smashing tho
customary bottle Of wine, we took The
stand which has been placed I'm the
gateway Of our yard, Containing Il
slotted milk bottle into which our en-
plOyees drop from time to time pennies
and small change for these dependent
children, placed 1t on the stand at the
bow Of the ship, attached n substantial
piece Of money to n small ribbon
placed this money inside of the bottle
and drew the ribbon through the slot
and tackled it to the bow of the ship.
"The young lady who was chosen
sponsor for this launching, instead OF
breaking the bottle Of wine when the
ship started to move, cut the ribbon,
which, fguratively speaking, releases
the ship from It's attachment to the
land, and while she sped upon her way
to aid our men at the battle front,
she left behind her as an omen of good
luck and Godspeed a bit Of substan-
tlal good cheer TO those who have been
left to suffer while their parents had
gone forth in their protection, as well
as the country for which they were
offering their all.
1--WE are mentioning this circum.
stance thinking II might be of mate
rial help in the raising of funds for
the care of these dependent children,
IL the builders of ships generally saw
fit to adopt this during the war period
as a universal custom"
