 numerous towns are said to be unload ing their war loans at extraordinarily low prices and panic seems imminent. The German newspapers are publishing , long appeals in endeavoring to tram quilize public feeling. It is recommended above all other methods that persons who desire to sell government bonds do so through banks, which are ready al- ways to advapce cash upon bonds in the usual way. The public is further ad- vised to remember that the German em- pire guarantees the loans.
 Peasants and small business people, says the appeal. have been the last to dispose of their bonds. because at the moment of ,demobilization they will be able to buy useful articles of all sorts. When that time comes buyers paying with national bonds will be given pref erence.
 The document on which the appeals are based calls upon the Germans to show their patriotism and also their opposi- ton to the propaganda of rumors about
 war bonds, which are causing great in jury to the empire.

This was taken into con- sideration Thursday when the city com missioners of Montgomery unanimously agreed that all soft drink stands should be closed for an indefinite period. Clos ing of the soda fountains resulted from a hurried conference Wednesday of the health authorities.
 There remains little to be done in Montgomery so far as the closing of pub lie places is concerned.

 True, the German border is yet a long distance away; but the past two days of chase have materially decreased the width of the nrea separating the invaders from their own Rhine line.

 So fast has been the retreat of the enemy that at various points the allied forces aroot lost con tact with them.
 The retreat, which is over n front of about 35 miles. from the south of Douai to the region east of St. Quentin, has left in the hands of the allies, in addition to the towns taken, valuable lines of communication and strategic positions of high importance and driven in wedge that seem ingiy will force the Germans ey- anywhere from the North sea to the vicinity of yerdun to fall back.
