FIRE FAILS TO STOP
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
MEN FROM MIDDLE WEST AND
EASTERN STATES FROM APEX
OF LONG ALLIED FRONT.
HAND TO HAND FIGHTING
Americans Proved the Master, priv.
ing Enemy berore Them-Huns
Holding Positions in the NesIes
Forest-sheIang Effectively.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front. - Through a
barrage as deadly as any the Ger
mans have laid down on any sector
for months, the American soldiers
comprising men from the Middle
West and Eastern states, pushed
their line forward a little more and
it forms the apex of the long allied
front
Their progress was considerable.
though less than two miles, but it is
regarded as a brilliant operation, in
view of the determined countering by
the Germans.
On either side the French also
moved forward while steady pressure
was maintained against the east and
west TANKS.
The Americans withstood two
heavy attacks during the night, and
at daylight began their operations,
which left them we'll to the north of
oergy on the long slopes approaching
the heavy woods beyond NesIes, a
little town directly east of Serignes-
et-Nesles. whose retention the Ger
mans bitterly opposed.
The east end of the line swings
northeasterly opposite this point and
then drops off sharply in the direction
of Cierges and Roncheres. The Ourcq
river has been left far behind the line
being pushed forward across the zone
to the northwest.
The Germans are holding positions
in Nesles forest, from which their
guns are Smelling effectively. 1t
was late in the day before Seringes
was wholly cleared. The Germans
chung to the northern part of The
town tenaciously and used their ma
chine guns murderously.
Neither side used artillery in this
particular battle There was hand
tohand fighting in the streets, in
which the Americans proved the mas
tiers driving the enemy before them.
The story of the fight for the pos
session of Meurcy farm, lying direct
~ south of Serignes, will long be re-
membered in the history of the divi-
sion. The Germans on their with
drawal left behind strong force of
machine gunners and infantry. The
Americans moved forward through
the yellow wheat fields, which were
sprayed and torn by bullets. But
they advanced as though on drill
ground.
The American guns laid down a
heavy artillery fire, but, notwith-
standing this, many of the Germans
remained when it came to hand-to-
hand fighting IN group of farm
buildings the enemy had set up a
strong defense. Here the Germans
stuck to their guns and the Ameri-
cans rushed them and killed the gun
ners at their post.

4TH LIBERTY LOAN
TO OPEN SEPT. %
1~1LL CONTINUE FOR THREE
WEEKS, ACCORDING TO SEC
RETARY MeADoO.
AMOUNT is ,s6,OOO,OOO,OCO
Officials IN Charge of Campaign An
nounced That Special Appeal VIII
BE Made TO Farmers, Who Sub
scribed Literally To Last Loan.

Washington. = The campaign for
the Fourth Liberty Loan will opon
Saturday, September %, and continue
three weeks, ending October 10, it
vas announced by Secretary Nc
AdOo.
In fixing three weeks as the length
Of the campaign, instead of the four
weeks as in previous loans, treasury
officials plan for more intensive cam
paign. A shorter campaign will also
enable more business men to enlist
as workers.
The date of the campaign was an
nounced at this time in order to al.
low campaign organizations to prepare
Tor the sale of bonds and to prevent
the planning of other campaigns
which might interfere with the fota-
ton of the loan.
Although official announcement has
not been made, the amount of the
loan probably will be $4,000, 000, 600.
and the rate of interest which the
bonds will bear 4 IL per cent. Should
the treasury decide soon to place on
the market certificates of indebted
ness redeemable next June when
taxes are paid, the amount of the
loan may be reduced.
Secretary MeAdoo has said that Le
does not contemplate making an ex-
tensive speaking tour for the fourth
loan, as he has done in previous cam
paigns. President Wilson has recev-
ed several invitations to make al
dresses during the campaign, but as
yet has not indicated whether he Will
make any speeches for the loan.
Officials in charge of the campaign
have announced that special appeal
~ill be made to farmers, who sub
scribed literally to the last loan.

Sue the Seasons Rheims salient.
Meantime on the center of the al
lied right wing southwest of Rheims
violent attacks by the French have
forced the enemy to give turther
ground and enabled the French to
capture several towns of strategic
value and to draw their front appre-
ceably nearer the high road which
runs northeastward from Dormans 10
Rheims.
On the extreme wings of the grad
ually decreasing pocket-near Sois-
sons and Rheims-the enemy, heavily
reinforced, is holding tenaciously 20
his ground, realizing that successes
there would result in a general
crumbling of his plans of defense
against the locking up of his entire
armies inside the Big bag. In addi-
ton to the large number of troops
for reinforcement that have been
thrown on these two sectors, the Ger
man long-range guns from the region
north of scissors and north and
northeast of Rheims are keep4g both
wings OF the salient under heavy
entiia&ng fire.
Under the battering tactics of the
Americans and French the German
line on the south has now been driv-
en- back more than IL miles from the
point south of Chateau Thierry,
where the allied troops locked the
door to Paris against the enemy July

gressors in what has turned out to be
one of the greatest battles of the war.
Where the Germans are in retreat
from the south the cavalry has beea
brought into the fighting and numer-
Gus tanks and machine guns in profu-
sion are everywhere marrying the enc
my, whose losses are heavy. Mean
time airplanes are flying over the re-
trating hordes dropping bombs, while
the big allied guns from the sides of
the salient are keeping up their in
tensive firing from all angles into the
densely congested area.

There's no reason why person should take sickening, salivating cal omel when few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per feet substitute for calomel
 and IS said not to inflame or even which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but 1t doesn't make you sick and can not salivate
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because 1t is per fectly harmless
 Calomel is dangerous drug. It Is mercury and attacks your bones. Take dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated to- morrow. Don't lose days work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more bilious con- stipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dod- sons Liver Tone acts better than horrible ealomel your money is wait ing for you.

ALL HONOR TO THE AMERICAN
 WOMEN.

Daily we see about us and read of the labor and sacrifice of American women for the cause of the Red Cross. As nation we have ever been proud of our women. but their energy and capability daily displayed in increas- ing force is marvel to us all.
 While many of our men are also energetic and interested workers for the Red Cross, it is nevertheless the women of the land who are bearing the brunt in actual work and person. al sacrifice. This spiritif enthusias- tic labor has spread over the land during the past year with truly mar velous rapidity and is still sweeping on with unabated force. The scope of Red Cross work is so vast in it's many branches-the work to be done so stupendous and ever increasing that it is needless to say that the la bor and sacrifice of American women has merely begun, and that when the Woi io doitS cuI WOIlcH VIII nave made a mark that will stand out for ever in .he history of al ithe world.
 Up to the present time the interest of Americans in Red Cross work has been largely maintained by our sym pathy for the distress of our allies and we have responded But what of the time when our own flesh and blood are stricken in like manner? When thousands upon thousands of the sons of American mothers are stricken by disease, or torn and mu- tilated on the battle fields. Can any, one who knows the heart of woman doubt that the activities of today will be dwarfed into insignificance when that inevitable time shall come?
 The depths of womans sacrifice have never been sounded but who can doubt that the tremendous needs that will grow from Americas partieipa tion in this war will be nobly met by our women?
 All honor to theAmeriean Woman.
 R. L. Morgan.
