WITH A RUSH
Bells Ring, Whistles Blow
and Canvassers Get

$1O7, 900 ALREADY
SUBSCRIBED
Watch for the Special Mill
tary Relic Train
Tuesday

The Fighting Fourth Liberty loan
started on time this morning in st.
Johnsbury.
Promptly at nine o'clock bells rang,
whistles blew and an army of will
ing workers started forward in one
of the most energetic charges which
has been made on this front during
the war.
While this paper goes to press too
early to give an official report Of
bonds actually purchased, the COM
mittee had pledges reported to them
unoficially up to noon today of
$107,700.
Commencing Monday the Caledo-
nian will endeavor to show each day
the actual sales of bonds as turned
in at the various banks.
Chairman J. H. Brooks asks all So
licitors to call on persons assigned
to them at once, urging that in this
great and good cause Sunday work
is advisable and necessary. In view
of the fact that the churches are
closed Sunday, it is strongly urged to
make this the day OF greatest effort
and workers are requested to cover
their whole territory on Sunday il
possible and in any event to see all
their people before Tuesday night,
Oct. l. The local chairman and CEN
trial committee wish to announce
most emphatically that the cam
paign can be handled most success
fully by quick action. The town has
been carefully districted and so large
a number Of workers have been Sc
cured that no one will be overbur-
dencd with work. Therefore it is ex-
pected that every available person in
town will be solicited and LANDED
on or before Tuesday so that the
campaign may be brought to sue
cessful close by Tuesday night if it is
humanity possible.
A description has already been Civ
en- in the Caledonian of the Fourth
Liberty loan war exhibit which is
scheduled for St. Johnsbury for Tues
day, Oct. 1st, from p. M, to 3.3C
p. m.
St. Johnsbury is particularly fav-
ored in the privilege of seeing these
famous war relics in the day time
This train comes here from Morris
vile, arriving at 1 p. M, and leaves
for Montpelier at $50 p. m. It does
not visit any town in this section
north of St. Johnsbury.
1t is expected that large numbers
will come to St. Johnsbury Tuesday
to see this exhibit and it is hoped
that this may be the occasion o.
bringing the local campaign to {
successful termination.
Have you bought your bond yet?
Have you bought all you possibly
can?
NOW is the time.

PERSHING REVEALS
TROOPS IN ACTION
Units from Pennsylvania, Kansas and
Missouri Were Engaged in the
Early Stages of the Battle

Washington, Sept. 27-First de-
tails of the new victory Of the Amer
ican forces, reported last night by
General Pershing in his daily COM
munique, caused elation in Washing
ton today.
Capture of the strong position of
Montfaucon appeared to observers as
the most striking feature in the re-
port of the American commander.
Identification by General Pershing
of the troops operation around Mon
blainville, Vauquers and Cheppy as
units from Pennsylvania, Kansas and
Missouri also was regarded as signi-
ficant, making as it did the first time
the American commander has seen
fit to make public the divisions taking
part in the first stages of a large
operation.

making explosives, and most of il was
probably never marketed. The inter
cake marketed in 1917 amounted to
3S7,S2l short tons, valued at $3.50, 27s.
This quantity would require only 3l8,-
900 tons of sodium nitrate, whereas
the department of commerce reports the
importation for consumption of 1925
l65 tons of sodium nitrate from Chile in
1917. The difference between these fig
ures may be partly accounted for by tile
consumption of inter cake in making
hydrochloric acid and sodium sulphide,
which would not, however, require more
than 10000 tons of sodium nitrate,
leaving still large difference to repre-
sent either inter cake not utilized or
sodium nitrate that went into fertilizers
or was stored for future use. Many uses
have been proposed for inter cake, which
could probably be obtained in quantity
for about So ton. Its use in making
fertilizers hinges on the question wheth-
er sodium sulphate in moderate quantity
is a harmful constituent of mixed fer
tilizer.
