by the Belgians since the Allied coun-
ter offensive began. British atten-
ton has been concentrated to a large
extent on clearing up the Douai- Cam
bral-St. Quentin front, and many OBJ
servers here believe the lines have
been Strengthened along this sector
now for new movement to the north.
1t has been noted, however, that Brit
ish artillery has been pounding the
German lines west of Cambria with
special vigor recently, which may be
~ eluVe to a direct drive for the
capture of that city.
Probably Along the Aisne
Since the French are slowly making
their way to flanking position which
would force the Germans to withdraw
from the Chemin Des DANES line pro-
tecting Laon, some officers believe a
new movement along the Aisne and
probably extending to the east Of
Rheims is to be anticipated
1t is pointed out that if the Ger
mans were forced to withdraw from
the Chemi Des DANES "A swift ad-
vance from the Rheims front would
tend to outflank the whole enemy line
from that point to Verdun.
There is no information of an Of
ficial character as to Gen. Pershing's
present operations. The greatest reti-
cence apparently is being enforced on
press correspondents in discussing the
tactical disposition of the American
army at this time and to observers
here this suggests that preparations
for new advance are we'll under
way. The logical objective, it is held
would be occupation Of the Briey Iron
fields and an effort to cncircle Metz
from the west. IF Gen. Pershing is
moving toward that goal now, it is
said joint attack by his army and
the French army holding the Verdun
front would be probable develop
ment. Such an action would be over
a very extended front however, and
some further reconnaissance of the
enemy's positions on the immediate
American front may be necessary be-
fore it can be undertaken.

HUNS DELAYED TOO LONG
Didn't Expect Americans to Attack so
Soon

American Army Headquarters in
Lorraine, Sept. l6.-A German officer
captured by the Americans makes in
teresting revelations concerning the
st. Mihiel salient. He declares that
its continued holding by the Germans
would have been and was piece Of
unsoldierly pretentiousness which was
only persisted in from political neces-
sity. He was very angry about it and
asserted that representations had been
made to the great general staff as to
the imposisbility of holding the sa-
lient with the troops assigned to it
in face of the American cor. ira
ton which was know to be taking
place, but at the time it was supposed
that the occasion was not propitious
for attacking the Germans and any
readjustment Of the German positions
was postponed until the mor'ent for
complete evacuation was r.3t.

The point Of the expected attack is

Auto Race Inspired
Liberty Motor Start

When Ralph DePalma. famous
auto racer, decided to bring a Mer-
cedes motor to America n win the
1914 Memorial day race at Cincinna-
Il, he sowed the seed which today Is
promising q harvest of thousands OF
Liberty motors to beat Germany.
This Is how it happened.
DePalma witnessed the Grand Prfx
auto classic in Paris in 1913. won by
q German-made Mercedes-and he
decided to slip one of the motors Into
this country and surprise his rivals
here.
He did, but the motor didn't func-
ton properly al the Cincinnati race.
30 he sent 1t back to Germany for re-
tuning. 1t was returned to him here
shortly before the great war broke
out In the fall of 1914.
Henry b. Joy, head of a great au-
tomobile concern in this country, now
q colonel in the signal corps. looked
over DePalma's motor and, believing
America might be drawn into the
war, started work on an a~eroplane
engine modelled, in some vital re-
spects. after the Mercedes.
BY the time the United States en-
tered the war Joy had developed sew
eral models, and 1t was In June. 1917,

Igorup of engineers In Washington.
They closeted themselves with plans
and specifications for q full week.
and out of their deliberations the first
Liberty motor was born.
Since that day there have been
many intricate changes in the mech
Ianism of the Liberty motor. One
plant devoted q total of AZ, 14e hours
to changing tools made necessary by
altered specifications. As a result 1t
was not until April of this year that
quantity production could be started
in earnest. The first 1000 motors
have been completed, and II Is esti-
mated that another yea will see
10, 900 completed Liberty planes fly
ing in France.
Since the German manufactures
sent Ralph DePalma his Mercedes
engine, the Germans have used that
make in their aircraft with some
slight Improvement. The Americans
today. however, are using an engine
bearing some Of the vital Characters
tics OF the Mercedes, but believed far
superior in every way. DePalma's
motor, however, was responsible for
the early Inspiration in building an
American air engine. and is therefore
indirectly responsible for Americas
promised supremacy in the air.

Nothing Should Be Allowed to
Go to Waste These Days
of Conservation.
Waste spells want.

This war has taught us that no
matter how ~inexhaustible may appear
the supply of a certain commodity,
there IL q bottom somewhere in the
barrel, and IL we neglect to conserve
our resources we may go someday to
md the barrel empty.
We are not calamity howlers. We
don't want to search for trouble. But
we consider 1t wise to call attention
to the possible shortage of lead. We
do not have the word of ammunition
manufacturers that there is, or Is
likely to be. a shortage of lead. How
ever, with labor carr and growing
scarcer, with freight embargoes fire.
Quent and with the war q factor in
everything that Is being done nova
days. a shortage in lead might come
unawares.
Because of this possibility, we feel
1t a duty to call the attention of trap
shooting clubs to the vast that is
permitted by them. Perhaps IT has
not occurred TO you. but II lie a fact
that In the earth, some 100 yards dis
tant from the traps, there is a verit-
able gold mine IN lead. Actually tons

II is not q difficult matter TO have

lead will grab at the opportunity, IL
one will point out to him how 1t may
be done and how rich will be the
yield. One large club puts hundreds
OF dollars in its treasury by having
the lead removed annually.
But IL Is not the money. though we
may hazard a guess that every trap
shooting organization can use q hun
bred or so. 1t is the recovery OF the
lead. which may be used by the COM
panies loading shotgun shells. that
makes the waste OF the shot serious.
Every gun club should investigate
this subject and. IL possible. make ar
engagements for the mining OF the shot
on its grounds.

Twilight Game
at Camp Morgan

High caliber baseball will be given
a twilight trial at Camp Morgan next
week. The game will substitute for
one of the six Saturday battles that
form the series between Camp Nor
gan and the Zngots. 1t is planned to
start the game at 8 o'clock. This will
enable the hundreds of Gillespie en-
ployes at the plant who work until 8
o'clock, even on Saturdays. to see
their representative aggregation In &C

From the standpoint Of merit, the
game should provide a corking good
attraction. since the Camp Morgan
and Ingot mines are the best in this
end of the county. II the game proves
q success, others will follow. No date
has been chosen for the initial twt-
light game but it will be played prob
ably Wednesday.
