e URGED TO USE HIGH
DENOMINATION STAMPS

AS measure of economy Postnas-
tiers and Postoffice employees are d.
rected to encourage the public to use
stamps of the highest denomination
suited to the amount of postage re-
CURED on all mail. For example. a
cent stamp instead of three cent
stamps should be affixed to letter
needing cents postage. And 10
cent stamp instead OF ) two cent
stamps should be attached to parcels
requiring ten cents postage. Coop
Grafton between Postoffice EMPLOYEES
and the public in the sale of stamps
of the higher denominations will eft
tect large saving to the government
in the cost OF producing transport
ing, and canceling them, and will
benefit the public in minimizing the
number of stamps handled and affixed
to mail. This benefit will be especial
ly important to business concerns
mailing large quantities of letters and
parcels.

Flu Raging
In 80 States
Epidemic Continues to Spread
Despite All Precautionary
Measures

Washington, D. c., Oct. 18.-The
Public Healh Service now is actively
directing the fight against influenza in
thirty states in addition to the whole
of New England and the District of
Columbia. Particular attention is
being given to providing nurses for
the sick and supplying physicians for
those communities where the doctors
are unable to meet all calls.
In spite of these and other meas
ures taken by the Public Health Serv-
ice in cooperation with state and To-
cal authorities, the epidemic con-
tinues to spread in many sections. In
others, however, particularly in parts
of New England, it appears to have
reached its crest. In few states the
number of new cases is decreasing.

0STEND, BRUGEs, LILLE AND
DOUA| GIVEN UP BY GERMANS

LONDON.-Over a front of forty
miles from the North Sea in Belgium
to Lille in northern France the Ger
mans are in general retreat before the
Belgian, French and British armies.
Likewise the enemy is being forced
to concede defeat by retrograd move
ments before the British and Ameri-
cans southeast of Cambrai under the
attacks of the French in the pocket
between the Disc and Serre rivers,
north OF Laon, and by reason of con-
tinued strong attacks by the French
and Americans in Champagne and
along the Meuse river.
Nowhere, however, is the enemy in
disorder. In Belgium Flanders his
steps are being fastened by reason
of the swift drives into his line by the
British at Lille, just south of the Bel
gian border, and by tie French and
Belgians further north, which threat
ems to compel him to enter Dutch
territory and face internment unless
he is fleet enough to withdraw out
of the pocket between the Scheldt
river and the sea and reconstitute his
line with its right wing resting on
Antwerp.

In their withdrawal from west

will end in general falling back of
their line in northern France and per-
NIT them to materially strengthen
their resistance on a new and shorter
line. This probably will be from Ant

to the Swiss border, which would still
leave the Germans 80 miles from their
own border line both at Antwerp and

NOTORIOUS DIME CREEK PROVES
 WAR STACKER

Whether or not there is present absence of wealth or of patriotism on Dime creek says the Nome Nugget, is hard to judge from this disantce, but it is noticeable that Dime alone of all the larger communities of Sew ard peninsula failed to contribute to- ward the third Liberty loan. Further more, reports from the Koyuk camp reaching Chinik say that all efforts to arouse interest in the loan failed completely, the residents apparently caring nothing at all whether the na- tion wins or loses in the great world struggle. Mrs. Lars Gunderson is said to have tried to elicit interest in the loan and secure subscriptions, but met with no success, in spite of the fact that Dime is considered the most prosperous winter camp on the penin- sula.-Iditarod Pioneer.

THE GERMAN DOCKS

The taking over by the United States of the title and possession of the docks, piers, wharves, and other slipping property on the Hudson riv- CT, owned by the German steamship companies, the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg corporations, IS greeted with universal approval by the American people. The property is to be retained by the Government and not turned back to it's former owners at the close of the war.
 Purchasers of Liberty Loan Bonds and War Savings Stamps, who SUD- ply the money used for this purpose, may feel especial qualification. These docks and piers and wharves are strategic points of great importance and value, and it is intolerable that they should remain in enemy hands, CT tat they should ever revert to German ownership. German conn nerce l.s been shown to have been so indisso-ubly bound up with, and so much part of German militarism that it is just and right that it should suffer all the penalties of war.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS
 AND WAR

The engaged girl flashed her ring But just how do they use platinum in .'le war;" she asked
 A good many girls are asking that question these days. They hear of the war demands on the platinum supply They know that the war has sent the prica sly-high. Platinum rings are getting as scarce as hens teeth Just why?
 The answer is that our troops do net shoot 1t from their guns, but they must have it to fire them. Every branch of the service, from the Artil- lery to the Signal Corps, from the sub marines to the hospitals, depends upon this white metal for some part of it's efficiency.
 IL is used in promoters, those in struments which heat-treat the steel O. every gun. It is necessary 10 make the sulphuric and nitric acid for pow der and explosives. To produce sul- phuric acid. certain gases are passed over mass of asbestos, or some such material. which is coated with plati- mum chlorid and dried. This mass acts as a catalyzer. That is, contact with it changes the gas into the acid re- quired.
 The United States had a well-devel- cped acid-manufacturing industry be- fore our entry into the war, but now it has expanded to four times it's for iner size. At the beginning of the present year there was enough plati- mum on hand to supply all the powder plants contemplated at that time, but the increased war program has in creased their need for it. England has had to esta blish such an industry, hay ing previously depended largely on France and Germany for her demands
 The Demand Tremendous
 Electrical equipment, after muni- lions, calls for the greatest amount of 3,atinum. Even in prewar days. this Gemand was tremendous. All tele- phone and telegraph Instruments, all magnetos, have platinum contacts
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-07-22

Now the Army and Navy are using extensive signaling apparatus. They need platinum for field telephone. wireless, and submarine-signalling systems. And in building aeroplanes. "the eyes of the Army platinum is essential.
 Eiectric-light bulbs. so common to- day, use a considerable amount of it. The leading in wires, which pierce the glass. must be of metal which will not expand with heat.
 In our military hospitals and war surgery, the lives of men depend on Jne use Of instruments, such as eau tery tips. which are made of platinum. For the Xray tubes. which find the bullets and shrapnel in wounds, We need it.
 With all this use of platinum at the front, that behind the lines must also increase. Research and experimental ai3ratories redouble their work, which requires instruments of plati- num-

man control. We are securing our present stock from Colombia. But Colombia's annual output is 30,000 ounces, while our normal prewar con sumption was 5000 ounces.
 The War Industries Board is trying to meet the deficiency by diverting platinum from unnecessary uses to war industries. It commanders such supplies wherever it can find them, to turn over to the war workers. A new typewriter list of platinum to be con- mandeered measures some two yards in length.
 While the Government works to se- cure platinum for the war, volunteer organization has started a campaign to eliminate the use of it in jewelry. This is the Women's National League for the Conservation of Platinum. Only 75 years ago this metal was discovered. To-day chemists, engin- eers, and host of others have added their voices to the cry. They declare that platinum will win the war.

SIMPLE WORDS OF
 ENCOURAGEMENT

From the Grafton of James NJ. Shoup
 July 4th, 1918
 Tle Government now has a million ,. t,la greatest fighters that were ever mC5i;zSi in France.
 The U-boat has not stopped them because our Navy has conveyed our transports upon the ocean and in the narrow seas But the Government has not done all the great work that has teen accomplished to sustain our fighting force in the training camps and over seas.
 Those great organizations for al deviation and welfare. the Red Cross. the Y ". (. A.. the Y M. c. 4. and the Knights of Colum bus, hare render ed noble service and contributed hun dreds of millions of dollars and all have earned the eternal gratitude or this nation and the Entente Allies.
 But there is much more to do. But 10 matter how much, it is going to DC done. We are going to give our brave hoys all the chance for their blood that is within our power to bestow Whenever I think of them NAicn is nearly all the time-I also remember the touching lines written by the great Felicia Hemans which first read nearly half century ago.
 The first verse, as nearly as 1 can member. runs something like this
 They grew in beauty side by side, they filled one home with glee,
 Their graves are severed far and side, by mount and stream, and sea-" Of one, she said: The sea, the deep blue sea, hath one that sleps where pearls lie deep"
 Of another, "The Indian knows his place Of rest far in the cedar shade,' and Of one other-"He wrapt his col CTS round his breast on a blood stain ed field of Spain"
 Already many of our brave boys who once did their part to fill an Am erican home with glee, have wrapped their colors round their breasts on 2 blood stained field Of France, and others, metaphorically speaking, will soon wrap their colors round their noble breasts on blood stained field of Germany, and l fear some of them will find eternal resting place in the unmarked. unknown and unrecovered grave Of soldier of the Great Repub- lie, but Twe all must meet what all the
