DID YOU KNOW

That the owner of an Automobile Is
lust as Liable for damages inflicted by
his car either to life or property, as
is n railroad, n cotton mill or any
other corporation" Whether you are
aware of the fact OF not, you may
have Il rude awakening some OF these
days after you have accidentally
killed or MANNED somebody or dam
aged another's car or other property,
and then il will be too late. The only
safe plan Is to carry liability insur-
ance. Infinitely more money Is paid
out annually by companies writing
Automobile Liability Insurance than
by those writing Automobile Fire In
surance. Losing your car by fire,
even though it is not insured would
not break you up. but being called on
to pay $4,000 to $4,000 damages
might. 1t would certainly jar most OF
us some. II will not cost you any
thing to look into the matter. and
might save you from bankruptcy.

lean forces are now occupying
more than eight miles of trenches
in France. This is the most def
mite announcement of the exten
of the military participation of
the United States that has as yet
been issued by the war depart
ment. The statement issued yes
terday does not give the ACTUAL
strength of the forces at the front
numerically but leaves this open
to surmise. 1t adds that this
frontage is likely to be extended
at any time.
, Although the Americans are
occupying this important part in
the military operations in France
the correspondent of the Paris
Temps who is with the British
forces writes to his paper thai the
Germans persist in their asser-
tons that they are unaware Of
the presence of any American
forces on the Western'front. This
is the report the British are con-
stantly receiving from prisoners
who are questioned on the sub
ject OF American participation.
They say their officers lead them
to believe that as yet the Ameri-
cans are not actively participant
ing in the war.
Announcement of the repulse
of a German raid revealed to the
public for the first time yester-
day new sector in Lorraine
which is occupied by American
forces.
