AMERICANS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED
To the east, along the Nesle, the
Germans have reacted violently against
the Americans at FiSmette and had
regained that village Wednesday night
in heavy fighting. The enemy, however,
did not succeed in crossing the Nesle,

Berlin says $50 Americans were made
prisoners here and at Bazoichesi several
miles to the west AT Bazoches the
Americans gained a strong foothold In
the village in stubborn fighting.
Viewed from the maps the German
withdrawal before French pressure IN the
Nesle region, coupled with Allied activity
elsewhere on the great battle front which
has become the greatest OF the war, hardly
places them IN more secure position than

entire sinking fund of the city in the
Third Liberty Bonds: This is the
first city, SO far known in the United
States, having subscribed for Liberty
Bonds. The custom to invest sur
plus funds of cities in government Sc

perhaps that most of the U. S, bonds
in the past have only offered from

Nature ls Outwitted.

The man who invented the sewing
machine achieved what he was after
when he stopped trying to initiate the
human hand. If you go into factory
you will see machines doing things
which only human skill could do but a
short time ago, but the processes are
quite different from the manual meth
cd. The inventors have risen superior
to the formulate that nature would
seem to have laid down for them.
