Campaign To Raise $51, 100000
In Wisconsin BY Night
OF June 2S
EVERY MAN EXPECTED
TO BUY WHAT HE CAN
Purchasers Will Have Until Dec. 81
To Pay For ''Baby Bonds
Pay Cash Ii Possible

While the real organization of War
Savings associations in the State of
Wisconsin is not expected to begin I'M
til June 18th, it has already been COM
menced in many of the big institutions
of the state, so that every citizen of
Wisconsin may be properly registered
as purchaser of War Savings stamps
before the night of June 2Sth.
'The organization of the counties,
villages, and townships speaks well for
the coming drive for War Savings"
says j. E. Fitzgibbon, Sales Manager
of War Savings for Wisconsin. "The
organizations in the larger cities of the
state are practically the same as in
Milwaukee county, while each village
and township has its own method of
obtaining the pledges. l think there
is not one large institution, nor small
one, either, that has not already COM
menced the organization of War Say
ings associations, of which the War
Savings Society is the unit. 1t is
through these associations that Uncle
Sam is working his way to get the
$2,000,000000 necessary to run the gov
ernment OF this amount Wisconsin is
to contribute SOL 100000.
''The man of means, it is expected,
will purchase not only $1,000 certifi-
cate for himself but one for each men,
ber of his family. Persons of lesser
means are expected by the Government
to purchase in proportion to their
earnings and income. On June 2Sth,
the last day of the pledge campaign,
which starts on June 18th, everyone
is expected to go to the nearest school
house and register his duplicate pledge.
This is a patriotic duty.
"There will be until December 31st
to pay for the baby bonds or War
Savings certificates though all should
pledge a certain amount before June
2Sth. Those who can buy during June
would do well to do so, for each $5
stamp will cost a cent less than i'm
July and two cents less than in August,
and so on, the cost advancing one cent
each month until December 31st.
Every industry in the state will be
thoroughly canvassed between June
18th and June oath, and / am confident
that Wisconsin will show it's usual big
OversubscriptiOn to war funds"

FRED LABERGE BETTER:
is FLYING AGAIN

The old adage that "you cannot
keep a good man down" is literally
exemplified by Fred LaBerge, of this
city, who was hurt in recent fall at
the aviation field at Waco, Texas, and
whom the doctors said would be unable
to do any more flying, although his re-
cOvery was assured. Fred has not only
completely recovered much sooner
than expected, but is flying again as
clipper as ever, nothing daunted by his
dash to earth. He is now engaged in
signalling ranges to the artillerymen.

FOR TUBERCULOSIS
MAHASKA COUNTY PRAISED FOR
ADVANCED WORK.

The Des Moines Register says: The
board of supervisors of Mahaska cOun-
ty last week voted $4,000 for the build
ing of an annex to their county hospit-
al to take care exclusively of suffer
ers from tuberculosis, according to DR..
A. L. Kepford state lecturer on tuber-
culosis, who assisted the board in
planning the project.
1.-The building will be begun next
fall" said DR.. Kepford, land will be
located at OskalOosa. The Chamber of
Commerce of that city and the COM
.mittee for civilian relief of the Red
Cross will cooperate with the board of
supervisors in erecting this annex"
There are similar institutions under
construction or already completed in
Sioux City, Dubuque, Davenport and
Ottumwa.
1.-THE need of tuberculosis hospitals
is becoming more apparent every
day." said DR.. Kepford. 1T is particu-
larly brought to the attention of the
public at this time by the boys who
rejected from the service on account
of it. It is necessary that these pa
tients should be properly treated, and
the state is greatly lacking in facilities
for the treatment of the disease.
Under the law every county has the
power to decide upon the erection of
a hospital for tuberculosis within its
Jurisdiction and may set aside the
amount of money from the county
funds necessary for its erection.
Some counties have already voted
money for this purpose but have not
as yet begun the building of the insti-
tuition, which is a matter that is now
being urged upon all counties in the
state by the state association for the
prevention of tuberculosis.

New York, July 2.-The brilliant
American advance west of Chatea,
Thierry last night has shattered Chat
eau Thierry's usefulness to Won Hind
enburg as a supply center for his army
on the Marine.
The capture of VauX puts the Amer
lean artillery within range of Chateau
Thierry station.
This is the most important line Of
communication which the Germans
have held and runs from the Marine
to the Aisne. 1t will be impossible fol-
Hindenburg hereafter to use this sta
ton as the American forces have moi
completely dominated it.
Puts the Huns in Jeopardy.
The Chateau Thierry's own safety
is seriously menaced by the American
advance. The German positions in
Vaux were especially strong because
Vaux guards the main highway run
ming into Chateau Thierry from the
west.
The American forces now control
this main road. The complete capture
of Hill 204 which apparently has been
made by the united French-American
forces doubly assures the safety of
the Americans on the Vaux road.
Hill 204 is midway between Vaux
and Chateau Thierry dominating the
Vaux road from the southern flank.
No More Strong Enemy Positions.
There are no remaining strong de-
lenses for Chateau Thierry from the
west. The defense of Chateau Thierry
henceforth must occur within the i'm
mediate environments of the city it.
self. The city may fall into the hands
of the American forces in the next
assault.
Americans Well Trained.
The new American exploits in this
region are showing the effectiveness
of the American systems of training
The methods of assignment yester-
day of each man to his post in the
town to be captured and identifying
the same by photos and carefully laid
out planned maps adds a new princi-
pie to the new American technique of
offensive warfare fighting.
The American forces discovered the
enemy machine gun nests in time to
destroy the same with the artillery
fighting but they did not lose large
numbers of their men in reckless as
saults as amateur soldiers, but they
fought in accord with the most re-
Gently applied sacrificed privileges.
Minimum in Casualties.
Only by such carefully planned prin-
ciples and methods can the casualties

mum.
The American soldiers are already
developing their energy of the splen-
did ways of fighting so brilliantly and
calamity that with this spirit devel-
oping so early in the American new
armies the allies may well be conf.
dent of an ultimate and final victory.
