Starts On Back Track Today
To Gather In Any Over
looked.
TO TAKE SUBSCRIPTIONS
AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
Time Now To Prepare An
swer To Boys Question,
What Did You Do?'

AT midnight the boys will still be
on the job at the Salem Commercial
club to capture any elusive liberty loan
subscription that may float in, and it
lis good idea to go to the bat by to-
night because if you have been missed
this week they are going to get you
next week.
No one in Salem is going to be over
looked in this greatest of all efforts.
The city of Salem has never before en-
deavored to raise such a gigantic sum
of money in any undertaking and tho
thousands who have come through are
not going to allow their efforts to be
spoiled by the Stacker hundreds.
Today was bad day for slackers
The flying squadron started on the
back trail after the '.hard nuts' and
it is expected that they will bring in
a handsome slice of subscriptions be-
fore the sun sets on the end Of busy
day.
All sorts and kinds of slackers are
being unearthed-be it said to this hui
initiation of Salem. Two women, amply
able to do their bit, have kept the
doors locked persistently and have re-
fused to answer the telephone, altho
neighbors have reported that the wo-
men are at home and have been tiptoe-
ing about the premises.
One man on the edge of town de-
clares that paper money is no good
and he does not intend to buy. Two of
his sons ran away from home to enlist,
while the solicitors declare they are
confident from this man s tone that he
prays to the God of Kaiser Bill every
night for more power to Kaiser Bill Is
army. The department of justice is
going to watch out for this man.
To the fellow who don t come thru,
the campaign managers give defi-
mite answer that he won t escape just
because it has been planned to go over
the top tonight The general and his
aides are going to ransack the town all
next week and if Salem don t go over
the top by tonight it will by next Sat
urday night regardless of the heavy
handicap that will be imposed b, the
state fair.
million dollars is a pile of money
for town like Salem to raise in three
days, or in a week or in a month, But
it is going to be raised, declare the
campaign managers, if every slacr in
town has to be put in Jail to cut the
mustard.
The boys mean business-and remem-
ber the Commercial club will be open un
til 12 o'clock tonight ready to take on
any and all comers who have subscrip-
tions to- make.
If the solicitor misses you, get busy
and take it in to the club or the near
est solicitor you can find.
When the boys come back from
France the first thing they. are going
to- do is to inquire what you did to help
lick the Germans.
The time to get busy and to get your
answer to that question ready is right
now.

HUN LINE SHORTENED
70 MILES BY RETREAT
Most Stubborn Fighting Of
Weeks Now On From
Cambria To Scissors
BY william Philip Sims

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Sept. 21.-The most stubborn
fighting seen in weeks is taking place
in the regions of Cambria st. Quentin
and Scissors where the armies of Gen.
erals Byng. Rawlinson. Debeny and
Mangin are battering against the very
gates of Germany.
With 4 desperation bordering on pan
ic. Crown Prince Rupprecht. General
Won Boehm and the German crown
prince are throwing troops into the me
lee with orders to hold or die. retake
or be killed.
Field Marshal Won Hinlenburg real
iz1d the danger TO this fortress 6si,ia'
which lies the Hun flon.ier and is that
attacking. The allies are meeting the
attacking Prussians in mid-field in
some of the widest fiercest grapples
of the war.
pc big fact stands out in this fight
ingEthe boches are not yet licked. Fol
weeks the general tone of war stories
has been that the Huns haven't any
more fight in them. But if you wan
to make eny regular fighting man mac
be he American, British or French
just intimate that his job is easy ant
that the war is now over. He know
Germany can be licked finally but h,
readily admits that much hard scrap
ping is certain before the knockout
He insists that the many stories to the
contrary are helping the boche. He
points out that the Huns have shorten
ed thair line 10 miles by their re
treat as a result of which only ia
German divisions are holding the line
now as compared with the 40 needed
before Marshal Foch's counter often
sive.
Then the Germans had only 33 divs
isions in reserve and 80 resting or re-
fitting. Now they have IS in reserve
and II resting or re-fitting and three
weeks is considered ample time to re-
fit unless something happens to pre-
vent it. Won Hindenburg thus shortly
will have "a divisions in reserve ready
for operations. In the meantime. the
allies are now up against a line OF
the Huns own choosing giving the lat
ter big advantage. Unless the Ger
mans are torn out of these positions
they will be able to hold them with
fewer troops still thus in increasing
the number of reserve divisions out Of
the line resting and training.

AMERICANS NOW IN

MORE Than l,750,OOO
General March Shows 15O.-
900 Have Embarked
Since Last Statement

Washington, Sept. 21.-More than
l,75OO,00O American troops have EN-.
barked for "over there" Chief of
Staff March announced today. This is
100000 more than his last announce
ment carried
This fact, given at his weekly press
conference supplemented his declara-
tion that the news from all fronts dur.
ing the past week ''has been continu-
ously and continually good"
He located the American forces in the
st. Mihiel sector as now 10 miles from
Metz and a similar distance from Con
flans, an important strategic and rail
road point west of Metz.
The Lorraine line has been quickly
stabilized, he said, and the week has
seen only patrol action, aerial observa-
tions and artillery firing there.
AS for the British situation, March
confirmed the capture of over 10000
prisoners in the Cambrai-St. Quentin
district and noted steady progress, de-
spite strong counter attacks. The en-.
envy, he said, has lost heavily st Quen-
tin is now only three miles distaut
from Haig's forces.
Press reports as to the Balkan drive
Were confirmed. No reports we've a.
vailablc from the Palestine operations.
but General March admitted that Baku
on the Caspian sea is again in Turkish
hands.
A telegram concerning the st. Mihiel
actions shows that the son OF ErIinc
Minister Clemeneeau of France led the
first troops entering st. Mihiel, com.
posed of Zouaves, colonials and labor
ing classes. March paid tribute to the
French fighting spirit in that often
sive, saying it was of the same high
character the French always have
shown.
An order of the day from General
H. L. Reed of the Fifteenth Scottish
division gave thanks and praise to the
first artillery brigade of the First Anfcr
lean division for aid in the Marie
offensive.
In answer to specific questions,
March located the 114th engineers, both
division, as recently landed; the Goth
division as in the Vosges, and the 36th
in training sector with the French.
Colonel Augustus McComb has snc-
eeeded the late Colonel Kennon at Camp
Green, n. c., March announced.
War department reports fail to show
that Americans are being massacred or
abused by bolsheviki. Quite the con.
trary is indicated by some of the mes
Sages.

DOUGHBOYS WORRYING
BECAUSE NOT FIGHTING

/ stumbled into this library" said one
An officer who was patrolling along
the Hindenburg line with fifteen lsen
discovered an electrified wire which
prevented further progress. He return
ed the next night, bringing portable
stile with which to go over the wire. II
was a rainy night and the Americans
discovered that the current had been
shut off. They promptly cut the wire
Several Americans, advancing up q
communication trench, were challenged
by a sentry. A dOughboy who spoke
German talked with the sentry, gradu-
ally edging closer Then he jumped
the boche. They continued and met
another sentry. He dived into a dug
out. The Americans battered down the
door, capturing the sentry and three
other Germans. The patrol returned
with its prisoners and important pa.
pers.
"Because it was getting daylight. it
was a little dangerous to continue on
into Germany" it was explained. Not
a single shot was fired during the whole
operation.
Just before the attack begun one gen
eral called on eleven Salvation Army
doughnut makers and four Y. M. G.
A. women to organize auxiliary hospital
units. The girls, working directly be
hind the lines, followed the infantry
forward and moved up past Mont Sec,
giving the wounded first aid.
One American outfit captured one
entire German regimental band. They
made it march back playing the French
war song, "The Martelet," (M9ss
Mates.')
When they finally turned the boehes
over to the prison chief they demanded
a receipt for Gone saengerbund, com
plete.' Infantry returning from the
front lines present a grotesque sight.
They wear Cermsz helmets, s!ove-pit9
hats and iron crosses and carry German
revolvers and field glasses.
