Chairman Shows How il is Possible

Exempt from Taxation.

According to the official notice
sent out by VIM. G. McAdoo, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Washington, ID.
c., Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds will
be ready for delivery October "a, -
IS. They will bear interest at the
rate of 41h per cent per annum and

October 10 of each year. The first

1919 and will be for 173 days.
The Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds
have many advantages" said j. Hern-
don Smith. Chairman of the Metro
politan Division of the Liberty Loan
Organization. "One of the most
important to all investors is that
up to $4,000 of these bonds in the
hands of the original purchaser are
free from all taxation Except in
heritance taxi. An additional ad-
vantage in connection with this is
. that an original purchaser OF Fourth
Liberty Loan Bonds who also owns
some of the second or third issues
which are now subject to taxation,
may have these bonds that he owns
exempt from all taxation to the
amount of one and one-half times
the original purchase of the Fourth
Liberty Loan Bonds.
AS an example, a man who pur'
chases $4,000 of Fourth Libert,
Loan Bonds will be exempt from thu
payment OF all taxation against then
such as income taxes excess prof
taxes, ETC., and in addition, II h
owns $4,000 of the second ant
third issued of bonds which are nov
subject to taxation, he will be re

from all taxation Except inherit

Episode at Fort de Vaux Points
Moral in the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign.
Debout Les MOrts"-
Stand Up! We Dead!

Fort de Vaux was the very center
of the "furnance" at Verdun. Sew
en- times the Germans took it, and
seven times the French poilus won
il back, For three days French
regiment held the critical position
Cut off from supplies, unable to OBJ
tain achievements, without food or
water, and under murderous fire
every moment three heroic French
men fought the overwhelming force
OF the Hun.
The crucial minute arrived. The
fate of the Citadel of Verdun-the
fate of Paris the fate of France, and
civilization was the issue. HUI
mainly and the future of the world
hung on the issue of that fight; a
handful of exhausted Frenchmen
against a desperate German assault.
Just at that moment General Pc
tain's message arrived at the Fort de
Vaux. 1t told the starved and eX-
hausted poilus that they must not
be beaten. France depended on
them and they must hold.
At the moment when the assault
was launched by the Boche, French
lieutenant leaped to the parapet in
/ full view of the remnant if the regi-
ment and shouted the words which
have won many hard fights since
then:
"Debout les morts!" Stand up,
We dead, and fight with us for France
and Victory"
There was meaning in his voice,
in his manner, in his soul that went
far beyond the ordinary. He was
supernatural. He performed
miracle. The dead of Vaux lay
dead as before but the indomitable
spirit of those men dead for France
entered into the souls of their few
surviving comrades put supernatural
strength into their arms miraculous
courage into their hearts irresisti
BILE engergy into their assault
THE Dead" actually did fighting
again for France and Fort de Vau,
was saved. The German Grown
Prince was defeated. Verdun was
saved. France was saved!
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the
Fighting Loan. No matter how
much you may have subscribed fol
previous Liberty Loans your dut,
at the present time is to think. o
, nothing but your duty to this one
: The dead of Vaux couldn' fight
but their souls could stand up ant
reinforce the living. What YOU
subscribed for earlier issues of wa
} bonds has been spent. That none

Catch the spirit of the rallying cry

will make the coming Liberty Loal
Campaign a victory like that at For

The most drastic regulations and in
structions so far issued to all govern
ment labor boards have been sent out
by Assistant Director General Nathan
A. Smyth of the United States En-
pioyment Service.
The instructions call upon labor
boards to prepare and publish in ev-
cry city and town lists of nonessen-
tial positions now held by men, that
could be filled by women. It is claimed
in advance reports from Washington
that the result will be that men failing
or refusing to get out of such posi-
tions of their own accord and take up
essential war work will be looked
upon as slackers.
The order is intended to force the
hand of both nonessential labor and
employers thereof. The revised list
will probably include clerk and office
help, ticket sellers of all kinds, at
tendants and similar occupations. 1t is
in line with the recent instructions of
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
work or fight order, with instrIc-
tions already issued for the placing
OF women in industry, with the order
of the war industry board stopping
unnecessary construction. with the ac-
tion limiting bank loans and the TAX
ing of raw materials from nOlesseT-
tial industries.

LITTLE NEWS COMING
FROM WAR IN FRANCE
New Drive Started Near RHEIMS by
French and Americans 49, British
and French Busy at st. Quentin
Turks Badly Beaten.

The situation on the western front
is more obscure than it has been for
many weeks. There have been furious
battles around st. Quentin, and Cam
brai, where efforts to break the Hin
denburg line have been made, but be-
yond the statement that slight ad-
vances had been made and counter
attacks repulsed, the public has not
been enlightened. The British west OF
St. Quentin and the French east have
been hammering away for a week or
more, gradually froging ahead, and the
fall of this stronghold is probably
not very distant
OF more interest and possibly OF
far more effect, is a new drive which
was launched yesterday morning by
the French and Americans on a front
extending from RHEIMS to Verdun
and possibly beyond. Reports from
the battle line are to the effect that
good progress is being made. An ad-
vance in this section threatens the
communications of the Germans. and
il successful may virtually divide the
kaiser's troops on the western front
AT any rate it would menace the Hin
denburg line from the rear and in
terfere with communications between
the western and eastern forces of
Hindenburg An advance equal to thar
at ST. Mihie would make the use
of present lines of communication
impossible
Announcement is also made Of an
advance by the Americans east OF
the Moselle. This is further east than
the eastern line of the ST. NTihiel Of
fcnsive. The first objectives of the
drive were gained.

+ Palestine front has been virtually sur
rounded in the region east of the Jor-

days advices. The number Of prison

THE FOOL-PROOF AIRPLANE
HAS ALMOST ARRIVED.
New British Machine That Flies To
Home Base Long Distances With
out Power.

A dispatch from behind the British
lines in France says: The absolutely
fool-proof airplane has not yet been
invented. but i'm the opinion Of Amer
lean pilots, who are working in a
British airdrome, the newest British
machines have nearly solved the prob
lem.
Left TO themselves these latest ma
chimes will make their way safely to
earth. except for slight damages that
may follow a landing The machines
are so balanced and the wings so ar
ranged that when the engine stops
they glide gradually and easily to the
earth
The following test shows how stable
these airplanes are: A pilot climbed
to q sufficient height, and then stop
ped his engine and took his hands off
the controls, merely keeping his feet
on the rudder bar He steered for an
aerodrome 20 miles away and except
for keeping her straight he let the air
plane do what she liked She travelled
the whole 20 miles as steadily as q
bicycle coasting down a long straight
and gentle hill. OF course, the pilot
had to take hold of the control stick
to land the machine i'm the aerodrome.

WORK OR FIGHT RULE
Is WORKING WELL.
Large Supplies of Labor Directed
From NOnessential to Essential In
duStrieS.

Work or Fight regulations have
been highly effective in directing la
Dor from nonessential to essential
occupations, according to the reports
o. the department of labor.
Draft board members also believe
that the regulations have had the full
result expected Of them. The work or
fight rule went into effect July l. and
large numbers of store clerks. thea

we're confronted with the alternative
of finding employment in war work
or being inducted into the army
BY October it is expected that the
full effect of the measure can be per-
ceived, for by that time doubtful cases
will have been cleared up and the
employment service will have had an
opportunity to show what it can ac-
cOmplish.
Many clerks and others who were
thrust out of their former jobs were
really much pleased once they had
adapted themselves to the situation.
for they found larger pay awaiting
them in their new work. and con-
seiousness that they were serving the
nation directly provided an insplra-
ton to service.
Men were given 80 days to find new
jobs. Those who failed to find them
were allowed extensions OF time' Il -, II
was shown that they had actually
made a serious effort to obey the pro-
visions Of the regulation.
