To support the fire effect by H.
iumlnauon OF hostile targets.
To disturb hostile works by alter
nate binding and turning on the beam
or by working the beam back and
forth
To blind opposing searchiights.
To support attacks in the foreground
by throwing the beam In front OF the
advancing troops and screening their
movements
They help by revealing obstacles to
their own artillery. which is; thus en-
abled to destroy them
To blind the enemy and disturb

Meanwhile there have been sent
broadcast further reports that Aus
tria Hungary and Turkey, seeing that
the trend OF events spells ultimate
defeat, have informed Germany that
they will accept President Wilson s
peace terms. Notwithstanding the
advantages that are being achieved
over the common enemy on the bat
tie front and the peace feelers in the
air, President Wilson. Secretary OF
State Lansing, Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and. in fact all
the high officers OF the government
are warning the American citizenry
that the situation still is critical and
that everyone should rally to the
support of the fourth liberty loan.

All along the battle front the al
lied troops are advancing. From

Laon, the enemy everywhere is CIV

movement here. OF necessity, must
have a strong bearing on the stabil-

mans may choose 10 stand upon, and

East OF Rheims the Suippe river
has been crossed by the French at

West of the Argonne forest, which
now is held by the French and
Americans, the Germans are in re-

towns and villages have been taken

of the Argonne and along the Meuse
valley the Americans are still pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
