washington, June 19.--News from
France today ,ut the German in at
tempting powerful attack ON Rheims
had met with their first absolute checi,
in the West since their great drive be-
san la March added grcatly To the op-
umistic impression created here by
The successful stcmming OF the Aus
uion tide In Italy.
The defense OF Rheims is regarded
by officers here as the moro striking
since tho city Is surrounded on three
sides and only short timo ago its
early tail was forc asst. Tho reports
today show that the Germans ondeav-
orcd 90 sweep over the defenders from
oll sidos
The significance OF the German
thrust is not clear. Some observers
here wore inclined to view q as in
tended To cover tie fact that Ger
man reserves have been rushed to
itoiy 20 prop up the Austrian drive.
others. however. were not inclined
TO believe that events in Italy had as
yet served to draw upon the German
forces sufficiently to cmbarrass Sc.
iiOusiy the Western campaign. They
regarded IL as possI bic that the attack
was launched for the purpose OF pay
ing the way FOR later grand assault
on tho Compiegne front where the
French. aided at one point by Amer

While the news from Italy is on
cOuraging. details of the operations are
igcling and no clear conception of
what is i'm progress or what the fu.
ture may hold was to he gained. The
fact that American troops are soon to
participate in the battle there adds to
the interest with which the situation
is watched.
Nothing has been made public as 10
plans for the American expedition nor
as TO the progress being made with
preparations. There was every indica
tion. up TO the launching OF the Aus
trion offensive that neither size. com
position nor commander of the force

STAY-AT-HOMES NOW

Man Who Buys >...r.r, Bond Is DO
n1 x: cit"

The time is fast approaching when
all of US ''stay-at-homes" will again
have an opportunity to serve our
country.
Just because We are too old or too
young, or have dependents, does not
mean that We cannot be soldiers and
help to win this great fight for de-
mocracy and freedom.
The Third Liberty Loan, which will
start April 6, will be the greatest op-
portunity for patriotic service that has
been offered those of us who still re-
main in civil life.
The work to float it will be great.
With the approach of what all the
world is convinced is the crisis in this
war, the need of a great showing of
unity and strength on the part of
America has become so imperative
that probably the way in which this
country meets this duty will consti-
tute the deciding factor in the war
The Third Libert. Loan is the me-
dunn through which better than in any
"oy <AA1SAANo ACdl anu
physical strength can be thrown into
the weight of battle against Germany.
A huge Liberty Loan in this country
means encouragement to Germany
any encouragement to our allies. 1t
means funds to equip, feed and train
our soldiers. 1t means support and
comfort for our men in the trenches.
1t means money for ships, and 1T
means an ample reservoir of financial
credit out of which all things required
by the brotherhood of nations against
autocratic militarism can be obtained
to drive forward this year with their
maximum strength and bring the hor-
rors of the world war to an early end.
The man who at home buys Lib
erty Bond performs as efficient an act
of war as the man in khaki who pulls
a trigger in his trench in France. 1t
is all the more home mans duty 20
perform this act, since he is not under
going the discomfort and the danger
that raises the soldiers service to the
heroism that should inspire us at home
with full appreciation of the part We
must play.

LIBERTY BONDS BRING
CITIZENS REAL THRIFT
Millions Doing Patriotic Duty Find
Themselves Financial GaIners.

Before the government began to is
sue the Liberty Bonds there were less
than 100000 bondholders in the Unit
ed States. Now there are more than
100000. Soon there will be many
more millions to learn how simple it
is to put $50, 800, $500 or $1,000 into
a safe bond that will bring 4, Az or 5
per cent as regularly as the year rolls
around, besides returning the full
amount invested at date of maturity
There is no risk as in any other kind
OF investment, and no taxes to pay.
An investor that holds a mortgage
on a house must bother about insur-
ance, repairs, and must personally col
lect interest and principal. On Lib
erty Bond it is only necessary to tear
off little coupon twice a year, which
will be cashed by any bank or trust
company.
Moreover, if money is invested in a
mortgage on a house, whatever hap
pens, the mortgage stands for one,
two, three years, or whatever period
was originally fixed. If money is put
into Liberty Bond the principal can
be recovered any day in the year.
Therefore, when a farmer, a me-
chanic. doctor, a lawyer or any 9TH
er citizen buys Liberty Bond he not
only is putting money into the one safe
investment in the world but he be-
comes a patriot just as surely as the
soldier who shoulders a gun. But he
risks nothing, while the man in khaki
offers his life living sacrifice upon
the altar of freedom.

Save Food.

In an interview today, Fred. M.
Sackett, the Federal Food Administra.
tor for Kentucky, said that the active
cooperation he was receiving from the
people of the state in all the efforts
which the Administration at Washing
ton was making to insure adequate
supply of foodstuffs and equitable dis
tribution at fair prices, was intensely
gratifying. In war times prices of all
ioodstuffs are high, yet high prices in
duce large production, and it is guam
tity of food that this country needs
today. Whatever sacrifice of personal
gain is being made is by our people
who produce our needed food, is but
the tribute of the man and woman at
home to our boys who have gone from

PATRIOTISM ON THE
AMERICAN farm
BACK TO The LAND

I'VE can count to the utmost degree
farmer" Herbert Hoover said in a re-
cent conference with Food Administra-
ton workers of the different states.
This was the message brought back
by the Kentucky representative who
attended the conference
Food must first be raised before It
can be sent to American soldiers
abroad and their English, French, Bel
gian and Italian associates in war.
The only people who can raise food in
large quantities are the farmers, and
the Kentucky soldiers at Hattiesburg
and Camp Zachary Taylor are counting
on the folks back home producing the
largest food crop in the history of the
state.
People who live in cities and small
towns in Kentucky are asked to help
win the war by raising their own back
yard gardens. Every time a city fam
lily raises bushel of beans in a garden
the Food Administration is enabled to
take a bushel of beans from the farm
and send them to Europe. Gardeners
are urged to raise enough beans and
potatoes to last all next winter, and to
store them on their own premises.
The Food Administration announces
that the entire country east Of the
Mississippi River would have been
short of potatoes this last winter ex-
cept for this home supply raised in
gardens last year, but because they
were raised in gardens potatoes today
are plentiful and one of the cheapest
foods in the market, and every one
should use them freely. The man who
can raise garden this year, and does
not do so, will not only fail to help
win the war, but will be in actual
danger of himself suffering for food
next winter.
The Adair County news., 1918-04-24

Food Administration workers in
every county are taking the names Of
those who sign and those who do not
sign. Copies of these names will be
kept in each county, in Louisville and

future generations of Kentuckians will
be able to tell 100 years from now

About 100000 women have signed, but
