LONDON, Mar. 25.-The ultimate
object of this rapid and intense enemy
advance is clearly the greatest strate-
gic point of Amiens, says the Times.
and though still remote, the situation
is sufficiently serious to warrant the
contemplation of this catastrophe
The fall of Amiens might have three
fold consequence: 1t would bring the
enemy to a point from which they
might threaten our northern line, and
asst them to strike the channel ports.

to be a truly democratic list in that it
Is 10 represent the people, without
reference to class or distinction.
Ihe idea OF buying bonds for the chill
dren Is one OF the new ideas OF this cam
paign. Parents who have an intuition
that they will not survive the life OF the
bonds, have been investing in these
securities for their children, because
they know that there is no other such
securities 10 be obtained now that are
as safe.
At Liberty Loan headquarters today
a prominent citizen subscribed $1,000
for each OF his eight children.
Another citizen-a wOman-bOught
500 bonds for each Of her nine
children and another 500 for a boy that
was not her offspring.
Still third citizen subscribed in sums
and number equal TO the mother noted.
Now the loan committee is hoping that
there are other such families, with such
prOyldent parents as these.
Another man, who walked into head
quarters this morning, bought a 500
bond. Although this took all his
savings he was glad TO invest it in a
government bond. He said he had boy
"over there" and that he felt that It
was the least he could do.
