1t would be unsafe to predict at this

Whether the enemy will withdraw
troops from the British front and
make the present operations opposite
Paris his big gamble, only time Will
tell 1t can only be said that today
the German battle line is still pre-

keenest attention and solicitude by
the allies on this front.

share of the heavy bombardment
with which the enemy preceded his
new move.
Latest reports received here are
cheerful. and it appears from the
meager news that the French are
holding magnificently.
Intense bombardments developed at
various points along the British front
during the night. The forward area
on the British right was heavily
From l o'clock to the sector east of
l-avfeville. to the southwest OF AL

bombardment and between and the
front zone west of Albert was pound

put under severe bArrage last night
and again early this morning
Attack Was Expected.
The attack between Noyon and
Montdfdier had been expected. and
there seemed possibility that the
enemy would include at least their
British right in his drive.
The bombardment presaged some
thing of this sort today and troops
were at the alert waiting for any en-
emy advance that might come.
The German artillery was active last
night between Givenchy and the Ro-
hecq, and in the Givenchy sector the
Germans attempted a raid, which was
sharply repulsed. During the night
the British conducted a raid Of con-
siderable size against the enemy
trenches south of Beaumont -Hamei.
The operation was entirely successful
and thirty prisoners were brought
back. In this same sector the Ger
mans essayed raid after a heavy
pom bardment. but were thrown back.
Local fighting has continued east of
Dfckebusch lake. and at latest re-
ports the Germans by a violent coun-
ter attack appear to have resained
the ground which was wrested from
them Saturday morning on the east
en- edge OF Ridgewood.

Germans Make Good Target.

The German attacking troops com.
ing out to envelop the heights OF Bo.
cages and Riquebourg. dominating the
Mats valley. offered a splendid target
to the French gunners. The enemy
had to throw in division after divi-
sion before he was able to drive his
way forward to eRssons. sur Matz and
Mareuil, along the Royc road, which
was swept by French fire.
-Matz Is a central posi-
ton. from which the enemy can
direct attacks southwark to Estrees-
st. Denis or southeast to Compiegne.
He is being strongly counter attacked,
however, and will only be able to de-
velop his advantage at heavy cost. II

Dear Sister:
Am dropping you a few lines to
let you know that 1 am safe and well
in fact.I am feeling fine and hope
that you and yours are enjoying the
best OF health. | would have written
before. but nave been moving from
place to place, and have hardly had
time l have been in quite few
towns, and have seen some very old
buildings and many other things OF
interest, including a road which we
travelled over which is supposed to
have been built in the year one hun
dred and sixty-eight. But with all
of the interesting views. / find that
there is no place like home, and will
be ready to return to the U. S. A.
when Uncle Sam gives the word.
l had a nice trip over on the ship;
was expecting to experience some eX-
icitement coming over, put everything
was quiet-not a submarine to be
seen. If you see Otis Dashiell or any
of my old chums, just tell them where
/ am, and that l am getting along
nicely. l am in the Prov. Motor
Transportation Replacement Park.
Give my love to mother, and write
me real soon.
Your brother,

The Liberty Loan

This Government is asking for .
loan of $4,000, 100000. 1t Gid not
cancel that request on receipt Of the
German peace proposal 1t is COM
monty agreed that the proposal is so
ing to be rejected. And certainly
the American people have given ev-
cry indication that they want it re-
jected.
They want it rejected because they
DO not believe that Germany has been
punished enough. The cOrOllary Of
that proposition is that she is in for
still further punishment. The Presi-
dent will send a reply which will re
,lect the American nations attitude.
It would be very pretty thing
should he write: I'VE are not going
20 give you peace, but pending dis
closure by you of your further inten-
tions, we have decided not to spend
any more money on the war"
When we get far enough along to-
ward victory to stop spending money
toward it, the Government will let
US know. 1t has not yet done SO;
and it is rather a mistakenly patri-
otic American citizen that undertakes
to decide for himself as to when that
want shall have ceased and withhold
accordingly his subscription to a Lib
erty Loan for which the Govern
ment continues its appeal-Balti

RED CROSS DRIVE.
Big Campaign For Second War Fund
Next Week.

An intensive campaign for the second
Red Cross war fund OF S100, ,000, 600 will be
waged throughout the country next week
Hancock county's quota is $4,000.
The campaign in Hancock county is al
ready well organized. President Hamlin
of the county chapter of the Red Cross,
| with committee of seven, has already
sent out literature, posters, subscription
cards, etc., to the local organizations or
branches and auxiliaries of the Red Cross,
and house-to- house campaign will be
conducted in every town in the county.
Where there is Red Cross organization,
it will have charge OF the local campaign,
and where there is none, local committees
will be appointed.
The time has passed, we hope, when Q
general campaign of education as to the
objects of the Red Cross and the splendid
work it is doing is necessary, but oc-
casionally person is found who has abb
sorbed, unconsciously perhaps, some o1
the German propaganda as to the mis-
appropriation of Red Gross funds. Every
dollar of Red Cross money does more good
for some boy in the service-your boy, ii
he is there, than you could possibl dc
personally for that same boy with 500
The Red Cross has the organization, it is
an officially recognized branch Of the
army service-it is on the spot and with
the power to help, when you with your
money would be powerless to help. Your
way to help is now, through liberal con-
tributions to the Red Cross fund.
While the house to- house campaign will
not begin until next Monday, the county
committee, as already stated, is doing its
work in organizing the campaign this
week, that everything may be in readi-
ness for the drive next week.
AS part of this organization work, and
to arouse enthusiasm, a whirlwind cam
paign OF preparedness is planned for one
section of the county for next Friday.
Eight or ten automobiles will leave
Ellsworth at s a. M, carrying speakers,
some of the officers and ladies of the Red
Cross. Four cars will be occupied by the
band Eof fifteen pieces organized by the
naval reserve stationed at East LamoiDe,
condu cted by Herbert Perry. 1t is hoped
the band will play in postoffice square be-
fore the party leaves.
Open-air meetings will be held at towns
along the route at the most central
gathering point. There W ill be music and
speaking at each place, but no solicitation
of subscriptions. The party will take
luncheons, but the ladies of ofBrooklin will
serve coffee, where the stop will be made
at noon. The schedule for the trip fol-
lows:
Surry, $50; East Bluehill, $50; Bluehill,
1015; South Bluehill, IL; Brooklin, u;
Sedgwick, 1.30; South Brooksville, 8; West
Brooksville, Ais; with probable stop at
Bluehili mines on the return trip about
SIS.
AS a part OF the same campaign, patri-
otic meetings will be held in West Broc ks
vile Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, with
Rev. r. B. Mathews OF Ellsworth ns the
speaker, and at Brooklin Sunday after
noon at O'Clock, with Supt. w. H. Pat
ten as speaker.

MAKING Nails.

An excellent illustration of the diff
ference between old and new methods
is the ordinary common nail. For
merly the metal was cut into strips and
then forged into shape with hammers,
and an expert took about one minute
and half for each nail. Today they
are made of steel and are lighter
and stronger. Strips are cut with
steam shears and fed into automatic
machines. One man tends three ma
chimes, dropping a nail every second.

Subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan have
closed and Ellsworth and Hancock County as
whole are credited with generous overscription.
If the war continues there will probably be an
other government loan offered before the close of
the year and we must again be prepared to sub
scribe to the amount of our allotment.
We extend to the people of this section of the
State our unexcelled facilities for handling in a
satisfactory manner any business entrusted to us,
and suggest the use of our checking and savings
departments means for being prepared and
in position to subscribe to the next loan when
offered.
We invite your account which we are confident
will prove to be to mutual advantage.
