WHAT'S BACK OF YOUR BONDS

A United States Liberty Bond Is
the safest, best secured investment in
the entire world today. Back of it
are the almost unlimited resources of
the richest country in the whole
world. The mineral wealth in our
mountains, the agricultural wealth
of our plains, the oil sweeping through
our soil, our river banks bristling
with Industrial plants, III cities with
their wealth of real estate, our for
ests and our herds-all these and
much more, are the collateral our
Government offers in it's promise to
pay back every dollar invested in the
purchase of Liberty Bonds.
Pledge yourself, then, to buy all
the Liberty Bonds you can pay for
with all your savings in the next half
year-and save as you never saved
before to ecu a speedy and a last
ing peace!

BY EDWARD w. cKA

The kaiser put his back to q wall in
the vain effort to check the allies
on the western front, and the wall
collapsed. Bulgaria surrendered, prac-
tically Internationally Turkey at
once put out peace feelers; Austria
Hungary cried for cessation Of the
war, and the Ukrafnians ose in re-
volt against the Huns. :
Meanwhile the allies kept up their
ceaseless hammering at the kaiser's
front wall-the Hindenburg line-and
by smashing through 1t at many
points proved 1t was not the impreg-
nable system of defense that the Ger
sea to Verdun the battle blazed day
and night, and the official reports
showed an almost unbroken series of
victories for the allies. The Belgian
army, assisted by British troops and,
Unexpectedly, by q French army,
jumped into the fray at the beginning
of the week, and, taking Dixmude and
the important Wytschaete ridge, adj
vanced swiftly as far as Roulers.
Thereupon the Huns began making
preparations that indicated complete
withdrawal from Belgium. North and
south of La Bassee canal they were
in full flight, with the British close on
their heels, and as Haig's men ap-
preached Lille the enemy began the
evacuation of that city, the German
commander reQuisitioning all means
of transportation to remove his plum
der. Investing Roulers, the allies gain
ed control of the railroad to the Ger
man submarine bases at Ostend and
~Zeebruggee and it was reported the
foe was removing his heavy guns from
the Belgian coast and that the gov
ernor general of Belgium had in
strueted the provincial governors to
send all their archives at once to Brus-
sells.
Armentieres and Lens were aban-
doned by the Huns Tuesday night.

In the attack on Cambria the Brit
ish, with whom an American contin-
gent was fighting, met with desperate
resistance and here and there suffer
ed a local reverse, but they could not
be long checked and pushed ahead
with logged determination until they
had the city at their mercy. The Huns
burned vast quantities of stores in
their preparations for withdrawal.

Next to the south ome the St.
Quentin sector, and there the French
under General Debeney won a great
victorN capturing the city after ire
mendous fighting, which was fercest in
and about the st. Quentin canal. This
place was one of the keystones of the
Hindenburg line and its capture as
sured the retirement of the Germans
on a wide front. Immediately north of
st. Quentin the British were engaged
by enemy reserves of storming troops
and the fighting was furious. But the
British succeeded in breaking through
the German line on the Beauvoir-W Wan
court front and created a salient that
greatly helped In the capture of st.
Quentin by the French. !.
Between the Disc at La Fere and
the Aisne the French pushed on to-
ward Laon and succeeded in passing

Of the enemy and reaching open coun-

The most spectacular exploit of the
week was the raid on the Austrian
naval base at Durazzo. American,
British and Italian warships made
their way through the mine fields and
completely destroyed the base and all
the Austrian vessels in the harbor ex-
cept a hospital ship. The only dam
age to the attacking force was the
slight injury of a British cruiser by a
torpedo.

George Julian ZoInay, the Washing
ton sculptor, a Roumaniau by birth,
although an American citizen for
twenty years or more, told in an in
teresting fashion something OF the
arts OF the Roumanian people: and
another speaker was young Captain
Stroica, president of the RoumanIan
council in the United States. and vice
president OF the same in Paris. He
has been a Jealous worker for the re-
establishment OF an independent Rou-
mania with the allies; and has a price
on his head, having deserted from the
Rouplanian army under German rule
and made his way after many vicis-
STUDIES to the allies.
DR.. W. z. Stafford, the well-known
scientist. spoke on Roumanian poetry

will be presented on Thanksgiving

years ago.

his new title OF major-and Mrs.
Hopkins, who put originality into
