GOOD LUCK TO US

great, great many of us have seen our boys go 10 the camps, and later we've seen them ready and eager to go overseas. We've seen them smile. we've seen them laugh. we've seen bravery and courage and indomitable spirit reflected in their eyes. And we've heard them tell Us not to worry and we've had them wish us good luck. and now-well. isn't it up to us to wish them good luck too-and isn't the surest way of doing it to buy gov. ernment bonds to help them along? |?

Washington. Sept 1s.-1t has been
limited in military circles for some
months that this autumn would see a
major operation on the Macedonian
front and from the news Of the. past
few days 1t appears that that opera
ton has begun. ''-' 80 '-, " .-''''''
While it is not possible for military
reasons to give the number of men

key fromNthe other central powers. to
crush Bulgaria and to free Serbia,
Rumania and the Jugo- -Slavs of south
ern Austria.
1t is no surprise to the Allies to
know that the Serbs are fighting gal
lantly for they are at last near their
homes and are fighting for the re-
storation Of their native land.
The Bulgarians already are having
trouble among themselves and with
Germany, Turkey and Austria. In
some quarters it is>believed that when
they see the fortunes Of war moving
against them they may desert their
allies and sue for separate peace. try
ing to save as much of their acquired
territory as they can.
The Bulgarians have killed many
thousands Of Serbs and Rumanians,
but the forces of the Entente are as
sured Of the ardent support of the
people who have survived the massa-
cres. Moreover the Jugo-Slavs in
southern Austria are only waiting an
opportunity to join the Allies and free
their homes from the yoke Of Austria,

With the American Army on the

(By the Associated Press) The Ger

ousted from the st. Mihiel salient.
They had done much work in build
ing shelters and beer gardens and
about the Soulveie farm the country
had been made to look like a pros
porous German neighborhood with
resorts where tOwnspeople might
spend their holidays.
Little club houses were built and
equipped not wholly in keeping with
front line operations. The dugouts
and shelters of the officers were fit
ted almost luxuriously some of the
larger ones being filled with bath
tubs and running water and lighted
by electricity. Outside Of many of
them we're little summer houses
where the occupants were accustom-

When the Americans advanced they
captured a. German mess sergeant
who had been instructed to pack up
and leave but who had underestimate
ed the speed of the American prog
ress. He was carrying a quantity of
beer and cheese, and when he saw
the Americans approaching he did
not run, but busted himself like a
bartender and received them stand
ing behind a table on which the beer
and cheese were ready for consump-
tion.

IRELAND IS
A FINE PLACE

There is Great Difference
Between That Country
and England in Food.

London. Sejt. 10.-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press).-Al-
though only threc-hour boat trip
separates England and Ireland there
is as much difference as between day
and night in the two islands as far as
food Is concerned.
For the person who has lived in
England for a time and whose habits
have let him to believe his system
calories science prescribes. Ireland is
a wonderful place to dine in.
1t does not follow that sufficient
food is not available in England
there is sufficient to healthily main
tain the system but there is a differ
ence between that and eating a large
steak properly decorated That can
be accomplished in Ireland at reason
able cost but not in England at any
price.
Ireland is not, rationed voluntarily
or otherwise, and there is plenty Of
everything with the exception of
sugar. In respect to food it is more
pleasantly situated than the United
States or England because prices
have not advanced as they have in
America and are no higher than in
not only rations but controls prices.
Ireland always has sent quantities of
meat and dairy products to England
and still is doing so.
! Americans who have been in Eng
land and tried to become accustomed
to the four ounces Of meat at meal
and an absence of fat in cooking
wherever possible, on arriving in Ire
land fairly gorge themselves for a
few days on meat, drink quantities
of milk and do not spare the butter.
They had not been getting milk at all
except with a physicians prescription
and butter was limited to less than
an ounce a day
