The money the jitneys
take in would help to pay
some of the extra burdens
the street cars'must bear on
account of war.
They take in that money
in the summer time when
travel is easy. In the win
ter time patrons of the jit-
neys must use the street
cars-for the street cars are
on the job all the year
round.
Is it worth while for the
people to let. haphazard
vehicles like the jitneys be
one Of the reasons why the
street car fare might have
to be raised in order to
meet expenses?
Are the jitneys kept in

The street cars must be.
And the street car lines are
the travel roads for the jit-

And you can't ride as
far in a jitney as you can
in a street car for a nickel.
Isn't it worth more to
ALL the people to keep the

Adjusting Oneself
To Conditions

There are two ways OF
living during war times.
One way is to buy less
and make your money go
round and the other is to
pay more for the same
things.
The street car business
today costs more to operate
than ever before.
Yet the five cent fare is
in existence.
IF Jim Jones ran a bus
and didn't take in enough
in fares to keep it going he
would surely go out of
business.
But that would affect
ONLY Jim Jones.
If the street cars stop
that affects us all-for we
all need the street cars to
go to and from work.
The jitneys charge five
cents. But they would
charge more than five cents
if the street car fare were

AMERICANS Begin
GREAT OFFENSIVE
Pershins First Army Attacks on
Twenty-MiIe Front South Of
Verdun.

Washington, Sept. 12-The Ameri-
can First Army, under command Of
General Pershing, is in action against
the Germans on twenty-mile front on
the famous st. Mihiel salient in Lor-
raine, which had stood sharp wedge
in the French line southeast OF Yer
dun since the commencement Of the
war.
In the preliminary thrust ground
was gained ON both sides of the tri-
angle and also at it's apex at St.
Mihiel, and at last accounts the Amer
leans, with whom some French troops
are brigaded, were fast sweeping
across the salient in an effort to close
the mouth of the big pocket before
the Germans can extricate themselves
from the perilous position they are
in as result of the suddenness of
the blow and the element of surprise
it carried with it.
Although the advance of the Amer
leans was swift and sure and gains
in excess of four miles on the southern
side of the battle area were made, the
cavalry far outstripped the tanks and
foot men and was almost in the center
OF the salient and some ten miles
northeast of St. Mihiel and also north
west of Pont-a-Mousson, through the
forests and along the railway line run
ning northward to Metz, the great
German fortress, the southern outer
Notifications Of which are less than
ten miles distant.
