the German lines both to the east and
west. East of the Vesle, the Germans
have reached violently against the
Americans at Fismette and had
gained that village Wednesday night.
The enemy, however did not sue
ceed in crossing the Vesle, which
evidently was their intention. Berlin
says that ESQ Americans were made
prisoners here and at Bazoches, sew
eral miles to the west. At Bazoches
the Americans gained strong foot
hold in the village after stubborn
fighting.
Viewed from the maps the German
withdrawal before French pressure
in the Nesle region, coupled with
allied activities elsewhere on the
great battlefront, which has become
the greatest of the war, hardly places
them in more secure position than
the one previously occupied. The fact

British pressure on the north and
the French position along the Disc

very strong line, because it can be
outfianked from the north and from
the south. The French at the juno

EARL WAYLAND BOWMAN.

No more beautiful is the story OF
Ruth who gathered the fallen spears
of barley in the fields of Boaz, than
the story of the cleaner about whom
am going to tell you.
Ruth went out and by her devo-
tion to Naomi won the love of Boaz.
My eleanor plucked the heads OF
wheat i'm an Idaho field without
thought of the appreciation of men /;
without hope of material reward /;
without desire to win the applause
or attention of the world.
Love for Naomi caused Ruth to
toll in the harvests of Bethlehem.
Love for country, for righteousness,
for liberty-for all that these mean
sent my cleaner out into the fields
of Idaho.

ed Idaho farm out in the Snake river

years had not blotted out the mem
ory of the toll war must always take.
Father, brother, husband she had
given that this Nation, under God,
might have new birth and be pre-
served, in truth, Nation of Free
men.
Eyes dim, hands trembling, hair
white as the driven snow, body
stopped and worn by the long, long
years yet heart and soul afiame
with passionate love for America,
for humanity wanted to help.
She could knit. Patiently, hour

warm garments for our Lads, our

Reports last night to the office OF
Writ Franklin, county chairman
for the Fourth Liberty Loan, raised
the total OF bonds sold in this coun-
tv beyond the 100000 mark. The
quota is $l,O7l 900 and total sales to

morrow in order to meet the quota.
No additional reports OF "over the

Chairman Franklin is reasonably
certain that the quota will be raised,
but insists that every effort be made
today and tomorrow to not only
clean up the balance, but provide a
desirable surplus, that Carter County
shall be in the same enviable position
she has in previous campaigns, able
to say she has met her quota and eX-
ceeded it.
Committees are busy today in
picking up subscriptions from those
who have been missed in the pre-

those who have not met their share
of the responsibility.

McADOO APPEALS
FOR FINAL RALLY
ON LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo has issued an appeal 10 all
the people OF the United States
TO rally TO the support OF the ma
tion in the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The secretary's personal appeal
follows
Washington, oct. lS.-Sub-
scriptions reported and estimated
up to noon Thursday amount to
four billion dollars, leaving at
least two billion dollars TO com
plete the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Only two days are lett within
Which to raise this vast sum. No
country on earth but America
could raise so vast sum in so
short a time. American can do it
and must do it, for the destinicS
of the word and the hopes OF civ
ilization are centered upon
America. We shall fail i'll every
thing We have fought Tor and
hope to gain in this war if the
Fourth Liberty Loan is defeated.
Let every true American citizen
today examine himself under the
white light of patriotism and say
whether he has done his utmost
in this emergency.
The highest obligations OF duty
and patriotism command every
true American to go Immediately
to his bank or to his Liberty
Loan committee and subscribe to
the limit of his ability to the
Fourth Liberty bonds. Don't de
lay. Don't wait to be urged; be as
quick to do your part in this
Fourth Liberty Loan battle as
our soldiers i'll lance are quick
to obey the orders to charge the
enemy. Buy Liberty bonds on
the instalment plan it you can
not buy them for cash. Every pa
triotic bank will help you.
ii every patriotic citizen will
do his duty today victory for the
Fourth Liberty Loan is certain.
The continued victories of our
armies in Europe, the certain de
feat OF our enemies and the glo-
rious triumph of the cause o.
American people do in the re-
liberty depends upon what tie
naming two days of the Fourth
