The fact that American troops were
in the trenches in Lorraine was re-
vealed by the German war Office three
months ago, at that time, according
to an official German announcement
the Americans were on the front at
the Rhine Marine canal, which inter-
sects the battle line near the German
border due east of Nancy. This an
nouncment was made in the official
report from Berlin of the first Ger
man raid on the American position
in which three Americans were killed
five wounded and IL captured.
49,. Is Near Verdun
The eastern end Of the battle line
in France and Belgium runs thru
French and German Lorraine. French
Lorraine, in which is the American
sector, is included in the departments
of Meuse, the capital of which is Ver-
dun, Meurthe-Et -Moselle, whose cap
ital is Nancy, and Vosges with the
capital at Epinal. The length of the
front in French Lorraine is about $50
miles. ~
This section of the battle line ex-
tended into the Meuse from the Marne
near StMenehould and runs eastward
to the north of Verdun, south to St.
Mihiel and east to the German border.
There it turns to the southeast and
almost parallels the border to the
vicinity of Leintry. Below Leintry it
cuts across section of French soil,
past Badonvillier and Senones and to
the east of St. Die and again crosses
the German border at point west Of
Colmar. The remainder Of the line to
the Swiss boundary is in Germany.
Since the battle of Verdun, there
has been no fighting Of great import

ance along this front. For the most
part it runs through high and broken
country. Since the present battle line
was established early in the war there
has been comparatively little activ-
ity on the front to the east of the
Verdun sector, the nature of the coun
try making large operations imprac-
ticable. -.

day. Enemy shippers wounded two
Americans slightly early this morn

A shift Of the wind today cleared
away the mist which hindered aerial
operations and other activities for

the air were fought by patrolling

instance the French aviators defeat

cross behind the American trenches.
The artillery and shippers also have
become increasingly active. American

ARE YOU HELPING TO WIN
THE WAR?
Chicago Tribune)

Financial events do come in
flocks. The streets are full of
urgence and receptacles. There
is always a place to put your
money and someone in uniform
or in skirts to see that you give
it. You have bought a doughnut
or pie for the boys in the
trenches; now you buy some
thrift stamps. soon you buy more
Liberty bonds. You have given
to the Red Cross land the
Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of
Columbus. You have dropped
something in for the tobacco fund
and for the smileage books You
have bought wool for knitting,
sent magazines, given something
for the French orphans and Bel
gian widows, contributed to
local war fund, etc., etc.
Is there no end? There is not
until the great end. The best
line that any advertiser in the
United States ever wrote was the
line:
WHILE SOMEONE GIVES HIS
LIFE, WHAT ARE YOU GIVING?
THINK A MINUTE"
What are you giving, you who
run loose and go about your viz
tually undisturbed affairs? What
are you giving when you think a
minute of the fellows who fight
Germans and coolies, rats and
trench fever, gas and shrapnel,
mud and filth, and endure afro
cious suffering or miserable dis
comfort?
What have you given or what
can you give? The demands upon
your money do come rapidly. 1t
is the way they have to come.
1t represents the pressure which
must be put upon you. Even this
pressure is an indication of your
own good fortune. You are here,
being asked for your money but
not your life.
This is the way in which the
loose coin of the nation is shaken
out of it's pockets; the fashion in
which loose habits are ironed out
and community discipline i'm
posed.

WAR BOARD TAKES CONTROL
OF THE PAPER SITUATION

The above war rules governing
the paper industry are made to be
obeyed. No publisher in the
United States can obtain any
more paper until he signs pledge
to observe the above rules.
Wholesale paper dealers are for
hidden to sell paper to any pub
Usher not pledging himself in
writing to obey the above rules.
In addition to this every newspa-
per publisher in the United States
will, on the first of next month
receive a QUESTIONABLE from the
War Board which must be re-
turned with a sworn statement to
the effect that the war rules are
being obeyed. The failure of any
publisher to make proper return
of the QUESTIONABLE will result in
the government cutting his paper
supply.
The War Board believes that a
great saving in paper can be ac-
complished in eliminating waste
full practices in newspaper offices,
and putting them all on a strictly
cash in advance basis.
While the war is in progress
the government does not want
paper supplied to publishers who
are mailing their publications to
people who do not want them
enough to pay for them promptly.
The government does not feel
that it is fair to the industry for
some publishers to be using white
paper for the purpose of mailing
to people who have not shown a
sufficient desire for the paper to
cause them to pay for it in ad-
vance, or within a period of three
months from the time their SUBJ
scription has expired.
The government believes that
if all publishers will put their
publications on a cash in advance
basis, and so weed out those who
really do not want the paper, and
who will not pay, the total re-
duction from this class will be
sufficient for the present.
The government states also
that the enforcement of the cash
in advance order, while relieving
the paper situation, will at the
same time relieve the mails of
carrying needless pieces, and so
make an additional saving in
transportation.
