North Of the Marne the tide Of Ger
man invasion Is fast ebbing. The
fact that q general retreat In this re-
eion is going on Is not questioned,
and the only question Of moment re-
naming to be cleared up is the loca-
ton Of the position at which the
enemy will turn at bay.
Since Saturday morning there have
been important changes in the battle
line between scissors and Rheims.
Today 1t runs almost directly east
from Oulchy-1e-Chateau to Frere-en-
Tardenois, then crosses the Ourcq and
continues eastward until it reaches
the Dormans- Rheims road northwest
of Rheims mountain.

No Stand on the ourcq.
II had been contended by military
experts that the Germans might elect
to stand on the line OF the ourcq river,
from ~hich their heavy cannon might
dominate the Paris-Chalons railroad
along the Marine. This idea is now
proved erroneous. 1t appears that
there is no defensive position south
Of the Vesle river to which the Ger
mans can retire and organize their
resistance to allied pressure. The only
other defensive position seemingly
nossible is the one that follows the
tisne and vesle from scissors to Fis-
mes and from that point follows the
course Of tho Ardre river toward
Rheims. Burning villages along the
Aisne and Vesle from Soissons to Ba-
xoches arc reported. and tend to con-
firm the impression that the Geemans
DO not contemplate organized resist.

RESOLUTION AS TO DRAFT.
STARTS LIVELY DEBATE.
Senator Sterling Calls on Secretary
of War for information Perti-
nent to Volunteers.

A forerunner Of tho battle over ex-
tension Of the draft ages. which Is due
to begin within the next month. was
staged in the Senate today.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
precipitated the debate when he Of
fered a resolution calling upon the
Secretary Of War to inform the Sem
ate n II would be harmful to the op-
GRAFTON of the draft law to permit
men who first sought to volunteer and
were turned down by the medical ex-
aminer, and who later were drafted,
to enter volunteer regiments and to
be counted as volunteers.
Senator Sterling said he thought 1t
was an injustice not to permit these
men to be recorded as volunteers
Senator johnson OF California warn
ed the Senate that within thirty days
the question Of changing the draft
law and extending the age limit for
the draft would be before Congress
for consideration. He urged the sena-
tors to give the matter consideration
in the meantime. The question would
arise, he said, whether any further
volunteers would be accepted. Some
of the authorities, he said, wished to
cut out all volunteering and have all
men drafted for the service.
Cites Record Of the Marines.
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota, citing
the remarkable record of the marines
abroad and the fact that one-third OF
the marines today are between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty-one, de-
clared that he did not believe Con-
gress should legislate to prevent
volunteering. The draft law, he said,
has proved . magnificent success, but
that was no reason why young mon
should not be permitted~t to volunteer
Senator Nelson said that It had been
proved conclustvoly that young men
between tho ages Of eighteen and
twenty-one mako splendid soldiers
and that he did not see any good rea,-
son why they should not be taken.
This brought Senator Kirby OF
Arkansas to his feet in strong pro
test against the drafting Of men be-
low tho age Of twenty-one. He said
he would fight any such proposition
and that he did not believe 1t fair tc
draft men under twenty-one who
have had no opportunity to develop
themselves or become citizens. He said
there were older men who should be
taken first. and dclared that enough
men had now been registered to pro-
vide an army Of 100000 men.

BUYING LIBERTY BONDS
By BARTLETT B. JAMES
By WILL M. CRESSY

 Do you think that we're asking FAVOR of you? Or it's some kind deed that you're asked to do? We are not after your silver or gold,
 Or begging old clothes to keep out the cold. That's not what it means to buy Liberty Bonds. You are not asked to give single darn cent, And we are not trying your bankroll to dent; But Uncle Sam has BANK-the best one on earth And he wants you for patron, whatever you're worth. That's what it means to buy Liberty Bonds You don't have to give; you don't have to lend; You just put in this bank what you don't have to spend The interest is higher, and it's surer pay Than any other bank in the country today That's what it means to buy Liberty Bonds. You can just pay little, right here today, And pay for the rest of it out of your pay And you couldn't do that, whatever you're worth, At another bank on the face of the earth. And that's what it means to buy Liberty Bonds. So, just try and remember YOU DON'T GIVE A CENT! You're just starting bank account right after Lent Your money is safe and the interest is higher And the man that says it isn't is d- German liar.
