Hungarian government" President
Wilson set forth the position of the
United States government in

Americans Make Appreciable
Advance and Gain New
Strategic Positions.

With the Allied Forces in
France, Sept. lS.-With the
Americans smashing forward
south OF Metz, the French adj
vancing north Of the Aisne
river, and the allied forces
plunging ahead on the Balkan
front, the British struck a
brand new blow northwest Of
St. Quentin today.
The new British assault fol-
lowed a successful blow on
Tuesday which put Holnon
village in their possession.
Holnon is only two and a half
miles from st. Quentin.
The Americans have taken
ard passed Vendieres on the
Moselle and were almost in
Pagny-sur-Moselle at last re-
ports.
Pagny-sur-Moselle is about
10 miles southwest of the
great German fortress Of
Metz, but is much closer to
the double chain of defensive
works surrounding the city.
The French after a series of
brilliant attacks have now
gained a foothold ON the
western end of the Chemin-
des-dames, the road which
lies upon the strategic line OF
hills just north of the Aisne
river.

EXECUTIVE ORDER SOON
TO BE ISSUED BY PRES
IDENT WILSON
This is Figure Tentatively
Agreed Upon by Govern
ment Officials.

p. M. Harding, OF vlcksDurg
foueral food administrator for Missis-
slppi, has issued an order providina
that no COTTON be ginned- within the
borders OF the state for period OF
ten days. The order becomes effec-
tive at midnight tonight and will
remain in force until September rs
al midnight.
The order is said to have been
issued because cotton seed are lay
ing up rotting, as the railroads are
SO busy hauling freight for the gov
ernment that they can not spare cars
to transport them to points where
Oil mills are located. In addition
to this, the government officials
seem to be OF the opinion that
farmers should devote their time to
picking while the weather is pro-
pititious, and not be in such hurry
to get their cotton ginned.
A press dispatch from Vicksburs
giving the details of the order fol
lows.
Beginning Thursday night at mid
night all cotton gins throughout
Mississippi will cease ginning for a
period of ten days, in compliance
with an order issued from the office
of p. M. Harding, federal food ad-
ministrator for Mississippi late today.
This was agreed upon and announce
ed at meeting which was attended
by representative farmers, ginners
and cotton seed crushers through
out various sections of the state.

REGISTRATION OF WAR
BONDS is URGED BY
LOAN OFFICIALS
Important Information on Liberty
Bonds Given Out by Gov
eminent Officials.

Important information concerning
the registration of Liberty Loan bonds,
as given out by the bond department
OF the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
cago contains the following quotation
from letter from the treasury de-
partment:
With reference to accepting sub
scriptions for bonds to be registered
IL the names of persons giving only
initials rather than the full name. ]
have to say that it is the intent of
the department, not for it's own sake,
but for the sake Of the holders of reg
istered bonds, to have them registered
IN such manner as to enable the said
holders, or their legal representatives,
TO dispose of them in the simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued to wom-
en- under their initials, or under the
initials of their husbands, are not read
lily transferable in case of the death
of the holder.
Though letters of administration
would be issued in the legal name OF
the deceased, and the bonds would be
inscribed in her name, under her mi
tails, or those of her husband, as the
case might be, the letters of admin
istration and the bonds would not
agree as to the name, and therefore
the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would have to prove that
she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith. Cor
Mrs. S. Smith) were one and the same
person. 1t is to avoid troubles of this
character that the department has in.
sisted on receiving the legal name of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
"Of course, the department cannot
refuse to issue bonds under initials If
the parties interested insist upon it
but it is requested that you, in all
cases where it is possible, insist on re-
ceiving the full names of persons sub.
scribing for registered bonds"
