GENEROUS RESPONSE
TO LIBERTY LOAN
AT CENTREVILLE
Drive Opened With Monster Parade
and Patriotic Rally-S11, 900 OF
Liberty Bonds Sold

A big celebration, with monster pa
rade ana patriotic rally, marked the
opening Of the third Liberty Loan drive
at Centrevi.le Friday.
Every business house in Centreville was
closed and the employees took part in the
parade. as did the school children, and
various clubs and organizations. 1t is
estimated that the line of school chill
Ill en- measured one mile.
There was number Of beautiful
floats and decorated automobiles, Win
"Unce Sam" and Miss Liberty as weil
as MANY other interesting features.
Immediately following the parade pa
trotic mass meeting was held at the
Centreville courthouse, and DR.. II. NJ.
Edmonds of Birmingham made stir
ring address in the interest OF the cam
pai2n At the conclusion OF the mass
meeting $1,000 worth of Liberty Bonds
were sold, and of this amount so6oV
worth were sold by the woman's COM
mittee of that city.
Reports from Franklin county are 70
the effect that they staged big celehra-
ton at Russe]lville to open the campaign.
This county will do it's best in this third
Liberty Loan drive, according to the
chairmen there, and they hope to "go
over the top in the sale of bonds.

WASHINGTON STILL
is CONFIDENT OF
FINAL VICTORY


again studied the battle situation on
official maps. They were impressed
by the nearness of the German lines
to Amiens and not inclined to regard
the menace in that region as definitely
checked.
AS the lines laid early today, it
seemed probable that heavy artillery
brought up by the Germans Commanded
the eastern approaches to the town and
the railway functions in that direction.
If SO, the communication lines radiat-
ing from Amiens on that front must be
virtually useless to the British army.
The official statements failed to disclose
the situation in this regard
1t was noted that press dispatches laid
stress upon the fact that thus far the
Germans have been unable to widen the
salient they have projected into the al
lied lines, where the French and British
overlap. Officials here agree that as
| long as the flanks of this main opera
| ton are checked, it is highly improb-
| able that the attempt to cut the two
| armies apart can meet with any sue
| cess.
! The enterprise in the Albert region is
believed to be designed to inaugurate a
| ''pincheri movement through approach
| ing Amiens from another direction II
successful, the British line to the south
| would be undermined and the main
salient of attack widened enough to give
room for a possible turning movement in
| either direction.

women's clubs of the city Included in
these displays were war gardens, Betsy

Several merchants contributed valuable

successful in selling Liberty Bonds but
the winners of these prizes have not yet
