The Third Liberty loan

The third Liberty Loan drive is
not far distant, and Idahoans will be
expected to do their part In raising
the states quota Just as they did
for the first and second loans. It
need occasion no surprise IL the quota
for the third loan Is greater than
were the quotas for either of the
first two. The people generally and
the county councils In particular
should prepare early to meet the OBJ
legation the nation finds itself Obliged
to request them to shoulder. Men
alone canpot fight the present right
eous war a free people Is waging
against an enemy that champions
the most cruel of atrocities and re-
viles sacred institutions of civiliza-
ton. Money and more money must
be poured into the Golfers OF the
government that vast supplies may
be purchased and other great objects
accomplished that geld makes DOS
sible.
The matter of purchasing from the
government liberty loan bond Is
necessary for those not In the frst
line of defense as 1t is to send the
flower of the country to the battle
fields. No Idahoan can longer shirk
this duty. Many of them are now
carrying bonds taken on the first and
second issues. They will be asked
to take some on the third issue. |
Those who have not taken any bonds
will be urged to do their bit in the
next drive Every council In the
state should make plans early to
check up on former bond drivers in
their respective counties to ascertain
the extent of the holdings OF each
individual. No man in Idaho, who
can possibly afford to make the in

from such labor. The department

German troops moving north of the

the first of three drives to have TAX

launched at Paris and one at the

With the American Armies, July
24.-WitES special preparations for a
great celebration the kaiser watched
the German offensive in it's opening
days, against the Americans lines.
Then he saw the tide waver and turn
and the forces of his invincible army
come hurrying back with the men
from across the sea, close behind
them.
Not only did the kaiser see his own
offensive fail but also saw the army
of his son. the crown prince, get the

ceived since Verdun.

SUCCESS FOR YANKS

With the French Troops Afield,.
July 24.-This was another success
full day for the Americans. In the
face of increased resistance and the
heaviest fighting the Yankees went
steadily forward. There seems to
be resistless force behind the even
steady sweeping advance of the
French and American troopsN From
Scissors to Rheims the enemy was
forced to retire at all points along the
line.
On the opposite salient the French
and Italians are making steady prog
ress. German troops in a series of
furious assaults made minor gains
but lost these again before the Amer
lean counter attacks. More divisions
are steadily being rushed into the
pocket, possibly to hold the line, but
more probably to protect the retreat
ing lines as they attempt to get out

Although at that time thereNw no
such thing as a generalisSimo on the

approaching unity of command, and it
had been agreed between British and
French that certain general policies
should be followed in the allied Of.

detail, the tactics of the Franco
British commanders were almost
precisely those of Hindenburgh and
Ludendorff this year. That is, an Of

be goi under way as quickly as posi-

Arras Fight Starts
So, on April 9, 1917 the battle of
Arras began. A few days later the
French attacked between SCISSORS
and Rheims. The storming of Mes
sines Ridge came next and after this
the push in Flanders and the drive
against Cambria.
The. Flanders offensive was aimed
against the high ground east and
northeast of Ypres, against Passchen-
daele, Roulers and the U-boat bases
on the Belgian coast. Had these been
taken Germany's position in Belgium
would have been precarious and her
whole northern flank menaced.

London, July 24.-General Foch
is credited with the highest praise
by war critics here. He is esti-
mated to have saved thousands of
men in his operations near Sois-
sons and Reims by pressing the
offensive just hard enough to keep
the enemy going and yet without
recklessIy risking the lives of
thousands of his men by mighty
offensive that would exhaust all
the allied strength.
Foch is content to work slowly,
gradually consolidating his men
and picking the strategic place to
strike with the greatest effect at
the smallest cost.

Mr. Palmer then spoke briefly on
the purpose of the meeting and the
honor Mankato had been shown in
having the Second regiment quarter

pointed out that all the people in this
country were fully engrossed in bus-

the speaker stated, Mankato had
been honored by man who was do

only right and fitting Mr. Palmer stat

gather at this time to pay honor to a
man who had shown his readiness
to throw aside business matters and
to do his full part in organizing a
military unit which was meant to
preserve order at home while the
