VIOLENT BATTLE RAGING Between
THE MSNE AND THE Marine RIVERS
French Attacks Smashes German Line IN the Lett
Wing and Threatens German Balm in Reuter- and
Along Aisne

Smashing the German line on the
left wing, the French have advanced
mile on front Of seven and one
half miles and threaten the German
gains in the center and along the
Oisne.
At the apex of their advance the
Germans are within seven miles OF
Compiegne on the northwest. On
the French right center the Germans
have gained four miles along the
Disc to Bethancourt, but apparently
have not budged the allied lines on
the left bank.
Furious fighting continues unabat-
ed from south of Montdidier to the
Disc. Regardless of heavy losses
Germans are throwing in divisions
Of fresh troops. In driving back the
Germans on their left the French
menace all the enemy gains in the
center and right center of the battle
line. The enemy is in fair way to
be caught in a pocket in the hills
between Matz and Oise.
Belloy, GEMS wood, to the south,
and the heights between Courcelles
and Mortemer, were retaken by the
French, the Germans battled stub
bornly and suffered heavy losses. The
French took 1000 prisoners and sew
eral guns. Heavy fighting is taking
place around Chevrin court, and An
theuil. This is the center of the
German advance and the French holds
heights to the east, south and north
west.
Berlin in it's statement of Tuesday
night, reports the repulse of French,
attacks southwest Of Noyon and
claims no progress. The earlier Ger
man communique told Of the capture
) of more than 10000 prisoners, bring
ing the capture since Sunday to 49,
600 and since May 27 to $4,000.
Marines Attack Again
Northwest of Chateau Thierry.
American marines have driven the
Germans entirely from Belleau wood,
and have added 900 prisoners to
their bag. Tuesdays victory came
after the advance of Monday when
the Germans were forced back to the
northern fringe of the wood.
Berlin's report on Mondays fight
ing in Belleau wood says that re-
newed attacks broke down no impor-
tant activity on the other sectors
where American troops are stationed
The Germans have not reacted
against the British advance north
of the Somme around Morlancourt.
Three hundred prisoners including
five officers, were taken by the Brit
ish in their advance there Monday
night.
On the Macedonian front French
troops have driven the Bulgarians
from several villages and captured
14O prisoners and war material.
Siberian troops repulsed an enemy
attack near Dobrcpol]e, while there
has been violent artillery activity
west of the Varda@ river.
Two Austrian batc'eships Of the
largest type were .crpedoed Monda''
ctl the >Dalmatian coast by two ltal-
Ian torpedo boats which attacked
the warships after penetrating cor
don of ten enemy destroyers. After
discharging their torpedoes, the ltal-
ian warships escaped unharmed and
reached their base but only after
damaging seriously one of the enemy
destroyers which pursued them.

JUNE 18TH BIG DAY
N WILLIAMS COUNTY
NATIONAL w. S. S. CAMPAIGN
WE'LL ORGANIZED FOR DRIVE
IN WILLIAMS COUNTY

Under the direction of C. C. Reiger
county chairman of the War Savings
Stamps Campaign, committees have
been appointed for the National w.
S. S. Day June 28th. and work has
commenced to make the drive huge
success in this county. The quota
for the county is around $36O,OOO and
that means about $40 per person.
This seems like huge amount but
when you stop to consider that you
will have till the end of the year to
finish the payments on this sum it
does not seem so big. If the w. S.
Campaign proves success through
out the entire country it will no doubt
prolong another Liberty Loan Cam
paign. Some people have the idea
that Thrift Stamps are only for chill
dren but this is not true. 1t is just
as much the duty Of the grown-ups
to buy these stamps as it is the chill
dren. This is an important issue and
when we stop to think that if every
person in the United States was to
loan to the government 80 cents each
day that it would take care of the en-
tire expense of the war including the
expense of the Red Cross, Y. NJ. C..
A. and all other organizations who
are raising funds to help the cause.
On June 2Sth. meetings will be held
in the school house Of every common
district in the country, with special
arrangements to get the people of
the cities together at the same hour
at the respective voting places Of, the
towns.
The various committees that Chair
main Rieger has appointed to date
are as follows: Committee No. 1-E.
E.. Henyen, chairman, Paul Leonhardy
and E. A. Francis. It is the duty of
this committee to list the names of
every adult person in the county.
Committee No. 2-Wm. Brodrick,
chairman, w. S. Davidson, S. M.
Hyde, C. D. Milloy and O. J. Holland.
This committee has charge of the
proportioning of the quota for each
district.
Committee No. 3-Edwin A. Palm
er chairman, A. l.. Butler and DR..
Trainor. This committee is to ar
range and choose a chairman for each
of the meetings and instruct the men
or women chosen in their work.
Committee No. 4-Thomas Hogan
chairman, Thomas Hutchinson ard
X. r. Peterson. It. is the duty Of
this committee to get every possible
publicity, newspaper, circular, meet
ings, speeches, etc. The advertising
committee has commenced their work
and results of their efforts can be
seen throughout both of the local pa
pers as we'll as the posters that are
appearing in all public places. They
expect to cover the entire county the
latter part of this week.
Additional information concerning
the drive and details of the same will
appear in next weeks issue of this
paper.

W|LL|ST0N PASTOR MEETS DEATH
At Spring BROOK R. R. CROSSING
Rev. F. C. Stinson Killed by Freight While Crossing the Track
With Auto Yesterday Morning. Wife In Iowa at
Time of Accident

The people of Williston were great
ly shocked yesterday morning when
a message arrived from Spring Brook
stating that Rev. c. E. Stinson pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
of this city had been hit by fast
freight will attempting to cross the
tracks there with his auto.
Rev. Stinson has been working for
some time past on the Wesley Col
lege Fund Campaign now being put
on in the state and at this time was
canvassing the county. Before ap-.
preaching this particular crossing an
other freight had passed and as there
was car ahead of Rev. Stinson which
crossed the track ahead of him, he
thought that all danger had passed
but on arriving at the track was hit
by fast through freight which COM
pletely demolished his car and rem
dered him unconscious. BY some un-
known means Rev. Stinson managed
to cling to the pilot of the engine till
the train was brought to stop some
mile or so up the track. He was hur-
ried to Williston on the engine and
taken to the hospital where he pass
ed away at ten o'clock last evening
Every possible medical aid was rem
dered by the doctors of the city but
on account of the severe injuries it.
was impossible to save his life.
At the time of the accident Mrs.
Stinson was visiting friends and
relatives at Upton, Iowa, and she was
Immediately notified and will arrive
here tomorrow morning on No. l. Rev..
Stinson came to the city last October
from Devils Lake, N. d., and since
his arrival in the city has made many
friends and has done wonderful
work for the good and the upbuilding
of the community and the church.
The people Of the community sin
cerely mourn the loss of Rev. Stin-
son and. the ardent and masterlY work
done by. him will long live with the.
people of Williston.
Arrangements are now being made
for the funeral which will probably
be held on Monday of next week. A
