YET
TO Be RAISED
IN THE COUNTY
Last Drive for Annual Thrift
Stamp Quota to Begin Mon
day.

The last drive for the annual thrift
stamp quota in Wayne county will be-
gin Monday. The county has yet to
raise 1926, 900, and Of this amount all
but $4,000 is to be raised in Wayne
township.
There is less than a week in which
to raise the quota as the entire years
allotment must be subscribed by July
1. For this reason, County Chairman
Mills of the county w. S. S. campaign
said Saturday it will be necessary
to treat the issue as liberty loan.
Persons who can afford to do so will
be asked to subscribe the maximum
amount of $1,000 in order that the
quota may be raised within a week.
The laboring class, Chairman Mills
said, have already bought all that is
within their means at the present
time, and it will lbe the duty of the
wealthier people and the manufactur-
ers and business men to put over the
thrift stamp quota for Wayne county.
Plans for the campaign in Wayne
township will be made Monday even
ing at meeting of the township or
ganization at the Commercial club
Intensive action will be planned in
order to obtained the required amount
in the least possible time.

May GET FIRST view OF
ECLIPSE AT ) O'CLOCK

The peculiar appearance of the sun
that you will observe about $50
o'clock Saturday evening will not be
an astronomical intimation that the
war is going to end or that something
else strange and wonderful is going to
happen.
1t will be merely an eclipse of the
sun that will have absolutely no effect
on anything down here"
This Is according to astronomical
experts, who claim that a total eclipse
has no more influence on the earth
than any other event in the heavens,
and has no more effect on the things
that may happen.
According to Prof Allen D.
Hole of Earlham college the eclipse
will be most plainly visible here about
$50 o'clock. Professor Hole advised
people who wished to observe the
eclipse to begin watching about 5
O'Clock, as the shadow Of the moon
on the sun may begin to be visible
about that time. The eclipse will be
about three-fourths visible in Rich
mond. 1t probably will be noticeable
for several hours.

SUES ACCOMPLISH LITTLE.
tBy Associated Press.)

PARIS. Friday, June 1.-THE new
type OF German submarine cruiser ac-
complishes little according to an Off
cial note commenting on German I'M
der sea boats. Exact information rel
ative to the operation of two of these
boats which left Germany at the end
of 1917 cruised as far as the equator
and were absent for four months,
shows that they accounted for only
$4,000 tons Of shipping.
This was equal to only one days
total loss from submarines in April
Of the same year. At this rate Ger
cruisers at sea simultaneously to in
flict the same loss as that visited up
on shipping by ubmarines in European
waters in month.
But Germany cannot maintain more
than 20 Of these boats" says the Of
ficial note. "since the allies destroy
submarines faster than they are built.
However, ii they sink few ships, the
submarine operating in European and
American waters are useful because
their cargo space enables them to
bring back to Germany valuable ma
terials which are totally lacking there.

Says 100 Churches in
Soissons Have Been
Razed by the Germans
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, June S.-The bishop of Scis-
sons. who is now in Paris, today de-
scribed the havoc wrought in the
bishopric of Scissors during the recent
offensive of the Germans. He said 100
churches had been razed to the ground
by the Germans and that at least 100
others had been pillaged and partially
demolished. The famous cathedral in
scissors suffered severely
The bishop added that the Germans
knew neither faith nor law; they knew
nothing but war and pillage They
were methodically stripping and car
rying away everything, he said.
The bishop also asserted that wo-
men, children and old men had been
brutaly murdered by German aviators,
who flew over with their machine guns
and fired upon long lines of refugees.

French Preparing for
Permanent Long Range
Bombardment Of Paris

Paris, June SIN an article In the
Matin, dealing with the recent ap-
pointment of the Paris committee OF
defense, Frederic Brunei, a Socialist
deputy, says:
"By another drive, made without
regard to sacrifices. the Germans, IL
tn : did not enter Paris, perhaps
could approach near enough to hold
the capital under the fire Of long
range guns, not, as now. for an inter
mittent bombardment, but for method
ic, permanent fire.
"Such conditions would render in
dustrial life impossible and the gov.
ernment's will to resist must not be
Influenced by the fear OF sacrificing
the lives of non-combatants or by fear
of the consequences which cessation
of the output of the munition facto-
ries surrounding the capital would en-
tail"
The committee in question, whose
duty it is to defnd the Paris area. will
not only study plans to meet the
threat Of invasion which is regarded
as improbable, but will deal with the
problems caused by night air raids,
and the long range bombardment, says
a Havas agency review Of the commit
tees work which summarizes the
newspaper comment. The committee
also will take into consideration the
question of the morale Of the popula-
ton with the confident assumption
that, while the enemy can strike at,
he cannot break down the resolution
or courage Of the people. This morn
ing the long range bombardment OF
the Paris region was resumed.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. June Reports of recent
heavy German train movements from
the direction of Metz toward the St
Mihiel salient has aroused discussion
in the American expeditionary forces
as to whether the enemy is planning
an assault in the Woevre
: From a tactical point of view the
neighborhood of St. Mihiel, with its
sharp salient, offers logical place
for German attack. A drive through
ST. Mihiel to the southwest. it is con.
sidered, might have a triple object
the menacing of Barle-Duc, the out.
thanking of yerdun from the rear and
the elimination of the salient which
has its apex at Verdun.
For the moment. at least, perhaps
permanently. the allies have stopped
the enemy at the Marne. Many en-
gagements of a tactical nature may be
expected even if the Germans decide
it is useless to continue their efforts
along the Marne and elect to hit the
allied line at other places. The posi-
tion Of the railways and the forma.
ton of the terrain northwest and
north of Barle-Duc offer the Germans
an opportunity. OF course, what the
future holds for the American forces
around st. Mihiel is not known, but
the salient there is being discussed as
a possibility not to be lost sight Of
Another place which is likely to
more fighting is the sector around
Montdidier where American troops
recently captured Cantigny. Another
important point at which American
troops are Stationed is the territory
around Chateau Thierry. 1t may be
considered certain that whatever the
future holds. the American forces un-
doubtedly will participate in some
hard fighting.
