many ycnrs. The increase In the num-
ber Of birds is attributed to the aboli-
tion Of spring shooting under the OPP

law already has been very beneficial
to sportsmen and as food protective
measure, and under the continuance Of
existing protection there is every rea-
son to hope for an ever-increasing sup

persons to cooperate with II In the
enforcement OF the federal law. II
Is gratifying to know. says recent
statement from the department, that
the majority Of sportsmen have OBJ
served the regulations, and this fact
has contributed largely to the success

ment has planned to increase Its force

lines Government Plan.

Secretary Houston OF the depart
ment Of agriculture in II communica-
tion to the American Association Of
State Highway officials has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
$50 far ns 1t Is practicable to do so.
this department will urge the malnten-
ance- of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
Ing upon the war situation or for the

upon important military or economic
needs. The department is preparing
to suggest to the state highway depart
ments the preparation of schedule
Of work for the federal aid projects for
1918 in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the Office OF public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture schedule forms
on which the states are requested to
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season.
These schedules call for description
OF each rond, the character, quantity
and rail haul Of the materials to be
used, the probable cost, the amount OF
federal funds desired. the specific pur-
pose of the Improvement. Its bearing

expectations are that the transporta.

that the shipment OF such materials fol
essential projects can be made.

to the report from Field Marshal

gained foothOld In the French posi-.
tions, only TO be driven out later from
the greater part of this territory. The
Belgians also repulSed heavy attacks.
Germany's armies are hurling them
celves against granite wall on three
sides Of the ruined city Of Ypres.
After fighting Of the most terrific pa-
ture, the British and French lines are
still intact and the enemy has lost
terribly In his repeated assaults
The objective Of the fighting that
Is now going on is the capture Of
Ypres. where since 1914 the British
have held their positions. Two years
ago the allied lines were carried for
ward and the salient in front OF the
city was wiped out, but from these
positions the British retired q week
ago to the trenches where they stood
during the terrific fighting In the
spring OF 1915. when they stopped the
Germans in their first drive for the
channel ports.
The present battle opened with q
bombardment of the British and
French lines from Meteren to voorms-
seele. n distance OF twelve miles. Then
came reports Of a spread OF the fight
ing around the curve In the line from
Ypres until the Belgian armies north
Of the city were involved.
Field Marshal Haig's official report,
anxiously awaited. brought the news
that the utmost efforts Of the Germans
had been fruitless all along the line.
The field marshal's statement said
that the Teutons had paid great
price and had gained virtually nothing.
The battle still continues along this
front. but there Is little indication that
an immediate withdrawal from Ypres
is contemplated by the allies. at least
not before terrific enemy losses.
The only point at which the Ger
mans made any gains was on the
hill section OF the front back Of KEN

able to occupy portions Of the line.
but from the greater part Of these
they were driven out by the French
who re-established their defenses.

seem to indicate that there IL little

AMERICANS IN FRANCE
AND AMERICANS AT HOME

In speaking of the American soldiers
in France, Premier Clemenceau said
in the French House of Deputies:
"The French Generals tell me the
victory was peculiarly American in it's
conception and execution. l am much
impressed with the magnificent disci-
pline, daring, and bravery of the
American troops"
David Lloyd George, Prime Minister
of England, in speaking of our SOL
diers, said:
ave know that when they appear in
the battle line they fight in a way
worthy of the great traditions of their
great country. This is in itself a
source of support, sustenance, and en-
couragement to all those who with
anxious hearts are watching the con-
fiict going on in France"
The English and French Prime Min
listers have only expressed the opinion
of the world of the Americans in
France. Our soldiers part in the
great drive against the Germans is
worthy of our great nation. On Sep
TENDER % begins the campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan, the drive toward
victory which it is the part of the
Americans at home to make triumph
and success. If we do our part as
well as our soldiers do theirs, our re-
Spouse will be worthy of our great
country and of our soldiers and sail
ors. And every good American will
do his or her best to make it SO.

OUR BANKS SAVINGS SAFE
UNLESS GERMANY WINS

There seems to have been very in
sidious propaganda carried on, obvi-
ously by secret agents of Germany, to
the effect that savings bank deposits
are to be confiscated. 1t is difficult to
believe that any person in America
would credit such report for an in
slant. Secretary McAdoo says that
the absurdity of these statements is
manifest, but in order to allay the
fears Of few who might be alarmed
by such reports, he repeats officially
that these rumors are wholly baseless.
There is but one thing that will in
the least put in danger of confiscation
the savings of the American people,
whether deposited in savings banks or
other banks or invested in Liberty
Bonds or any other investments, and
that one thing is a. German victory.
1t is not the American Government
that our people should fear, but the
German Government, and with the
American soldiers fighting as they are
in France and the American people
supporting their Government as they
are in America, the American people,
their liberty, their rights, and their
savings are safe.
The United States instead of con-
fiscating or endangering the savings
and other property of its people is
defending them and theirs with all the
irresistible might Of this invincible
Republic.

SOLDIER AND SAILOR
INSURANCE

The business of insuring our soldiers
and sailors is scarcely year old, and
yet we have written more than $780,
000,000,000 of insurance, insuring APP
proximately three and one-half mil
lion of soldiers and sailors. This gil
gantic business, employing 10000 in
dividuals and doing greater business
than the largest insurance company of
the world, has all been organized in
less than IL months. OF late the bu-
reau has been doing more than a bill
lion dollar week business; the total
for the month of August will approx
mate $5,000,000,000 in new insurance.
On one day 92,253 pieces of mail came
to the bureau.
1t is great work, an intricate work,
work that every American approves
of. More than 80 per cent of the men,
bers of our military and naval forces
are insured, and this insurance has
strengthened the morale of our fight
ing men and brought comfort and
courage to their dependents at home.
In addition to the insurance there are
added soldier and sailor family allot-
ments and Government allowances to
dependents, the disbursement of al
lotments and allowances already to-
falling more than $140,000,000.

OUT OF THE DRAFT

"You cannot become soldier but say
you are anxious to do your whole duty
then let it be known that you are will
ling to serve wherever you can be
used to good advantage" This was
the answer made to one who because
Of age could not get into the army
He was impatient because of this re-
striction. He had forgotten that there
was important war work at home for
all like ineligibles to do. This month
there is before all of us home folks
much important work. There is need
to raise promptly $6,0O0,OOO,O00. This
is to be done by selling that amount
of fourth Liberty Loan bonds. The
home folks must Ego over the top
with this loan, not grudgingly and Ia
boriously, but cherfully and so prom
boriously, but cheerfully and so prom
ness will be felt in Berlin. Simply
to buy bonds yourself will not be
enough. You can do real war work
by serving the local committee and go
out personally and tell of the impor-
tant duty now confronting every one.
Assure the timid investor of the splen-
did opportunity of making a safe in
vestment of his hard-earned savings.
To help sell $6,000,000,000 worth of
bonds In three weeks is in way just
as important work for ineligibles as
is the answer of the daily reveille to
the soldier in camp-it is response
to the call Of duty.
