To fight Kaiser "Bill,"
Whenever they need us
And fight him we will.

For you've got to aid US
To help guard your own.

FRENCH FARMERS NOW HAIR

(Paris Correspondent of the News

PARIS, F'rance.-Rich crops form

allies this fall.
Territory gained, prisoners taken,
guns aptured-none were as. impor'

fields and vegetable gardens regained
between thu Marine and the Vesle
rivers.
ICountless tons OF foodstuffs had
this history: Planted by the French,
cultivated by the Germans, harvested
in the wake of Foch's victorious army
by French soldiers, rehabilitated
farmers and German prisoners-and
now being eaten by American troops.

The Germans, whose army and peo-
Pile as home are in sore straits for
food, lost not only the harvest they
had captured, but the harvests they
hoped to capture.
They had swept over the fertile
Tardenois, Ourcq, Marne and Eesle
valleys and hillsides late in May. They

to tend the crops. They held that fer

Then the Americans, the French
and the British began the great push
The Germans lost ground, trenches

But most of all it panied them tc

Fourth LOAN TO Be
FOR SIX BILLIONS
THIS is MINIMUM AMOUNT
BONDS TO RUN FOR TWENTY
WEARS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Six billion
dollars is the minimum amount which
the people of the United States are
asked to subscribe for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, according to AN an
nouncement of William G. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury In a stirring
address made here last night, outlin-
ing the Governments plan for the
campaign which starts Saturday
The loan, which. will bear IA per
cent interest, will run for 20 years,
maturing October Is, 1898 unless the
Government should exercise it's re.
served rights to redeem the bonds ON
or after October LIS 1888.

rotary made a special appeal for the
subscriptions of corporations and
wealthy individuals, as returns from
the third Liberty loan indicated that
wealthy corporations and persons CT

100000 Americans who subscribed for
the last loan only 22J500, including
corporations, bought bonds i'm excess
of $4,000 ~ n
ut would be preposterous" he said,
''to say that there are only 22,500
men, women and corporations in
America able to lend more than &c..
900 each to their Government in Lib

| MIR. McAdoo also condemned the
practice of "swindlers and unscrupu
lOus and unpatriotic people who, con,
trary to the urgent request of the
Treasury Department, had induced
holders of Liberty bonds to exchange
them for stocks or investments oil
doubtful value" He pointed out that

these to officers still higher up until
there will be in the hands of the re-

WITH THE AME2RHCAlN FORCES
IN FRANCE, Sept 23.-"Deceive the
enemy by false tracks ending in
woods"
This sentence is from the latest
German document on camoufiage to
reach American intelligence officers,
having been found on captured lieu
tenant. More than a thousand words
are devoted to the science of camou-
fage, the article being dated at army
headquarters and signed by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Faupel, 'fby order of the
general commanding the army"
Every form O. camoufiage has been
worked out in minute detail by the
Germans, one part of the article say
ing: ''Do not make a heap of earth
removed at any time but scatter it
Immediately. There must he no fresh
cuts visible, as marked contrasts re-
suit from it between the light and
dark surfaces, the latter appearing
as deep shadows on the ground DO
not change natural shapes. Positions
in fills and entertainments must not
change the form of fill or embank-
ment. Use the roads, fills, embank.
ments, slopes, sunken roads, edges of
woods, to greater extent"
Regarding resting columns of
troops, location and nature Of halt
ing places for troops on march the
document sets forth:
at is best to distribute the col.
umns irregularly under trees. In
villages keep close to the houses,
walls, enclosures of gardens and he'd
ges, but if possible with irregular
distribution. The best side is al
ways the north side of houses and
walls on account of the shadows. In
small courtyards the wagons are
lined up one beside the other and
tarpaulins joined in order to make a
roof. This appears as a smooth and
very natural surface on the photo.

enemy's attention

lection Of the ground; the north side
of entertainments, hollow roads, he'd
ges, etc. When there is no cover, if
regular distribution is required.
Even at night make more use of
tracks which are generally dark; the
columns can then with difficulty be
observed by airplanes. On the other
hand columns on roads which appear
light can be seen even at night. In
fantry columns will be divided into
small groups distributed in depth
and advance along the shady side of
the roads. When airplanes use hight
projectors at night keep in the shade

The article ends with this general
rule; when surprised by airplanes

os Haifa and the city Of Damascus.
Haifa is the only important port OF
Palestine except Jaffa, and the re-
cent victory has cut the railroad
from Haifa to Damascus which was
the Turkish line of communication,
thus rendering its capture a mere
matter of time.
With Damascus in allied hands,
the way will be cleared for a great
double advance by the armies of AL
lenby and Marshall with the joint OBJ
jectiye of Aleppo. If this can be car
ried out it will achieve two objects:
J. IA juncture of the two British
expeditions in a straight line across
the northern end of the Syrian
desert.
2. Establishment of base line for
a drive to force the Turks out of
Persia and Trans4Caucasia, thus join
ing up the Czecho-Slovak front, in
southern Russia with the British
front at Batum and herding the
Turks into Ana tolia.
Another important result OF Allen
by's drive is that it forestalls the
German plans for joint Turko-Ger-

tamia this winter.
