 The struggle which lasted a con siderable time, was extremely violent and the Americans displayed marked bravery throughout.
 It was the first occasion in which the Americans were engaged in the battle which has been raging since March 2l and their French comrades are full of praise for the manner in which they conducted themselves un- der trying circumstances, especially in view of the fact thaN Nthey are fighting at one of the most difficult points on the battle front.

BUY ANOTHER BOND SLOGAN OF WILSON
 STIMULATES SALES.
By Review Leased Wire,


 WASHINGTON, May 1.-The "buy another bond" movement developed by Liberty Loan headquarters as a boom feature of the final days of the campaign, grew today into national match the president" contest. Pres ident Wilson agreed to take another 8 bond on the installment plan. and appealed for a million others to do likewise.
 Tonight when the president went to theater and formally offered his buy another" subscription to a four minute speaker, nearly every theater in the landw as the scene of a match the president" celebration with four minute men seeking to harvest a null titude of new pledges or re-subscrip- tions for $50 or any multiple of that sum. In 10000 meeting places during the remainder of the week buy anoth- CT bond" will be a campaign cry to drive the third loan along toward the zeal of 20.006,000 subscribers and a big over-subscription of the three oil lien dollar minimum.
 Expect Heavy Sale
 Indications tonight were that every pledge would be needed to send the loan to four or five billion dollars, for today's report showed addition of only 22,00O.000, barely enough as a daily rate to put the loan across the three billion line. The total reported was S2,579,079, 400.
 Fourm mute men and other Liberty Loan speakers were notified of the exact situation regarding the third loan and were told that an avalanche of dollars was absolutely necessary in the next few days.
 Telegrams pouring into headquar- ters tonight told of immediate response to the buy another" call.
 Results of the drive are expected to show on tomorrOw's reports from all districts.
