Be Careful How You Cash
Your War Savings Stamps

Here is a new one on the War Say
ings Stamps proposition. 1t seems
that a lot of people have bought stamps
and carefully pasted them on the GER
tificate, but when temporarily hard up,
or in need of a little spending money,
have thought it good plan to just tear
off one Of the stamps and have the
postoffice cash it, But there will be
nothing doing in this line. In the first
place, no stamp will be eashed unless
the law is complied with and this is,
that the postoffice must be notified ten
days in advance. Then no stamps will
be cashed that have been torn from the
certificate sheet. This is also the law.
If one is So unpatriotie as to go back
on the government and cash in War
Savings Stamps there is but one way
to do it. First notify the postmaster
in writing. Then, ten days later, bring
in the whole certificate for redemption.
Within the past week several children
have appeared at tire postoffice with a
single War Savings Stamp torn from
the certificate and asked the postoffice
to cash. Of course, this was refused, as
two of the postoffice regulations were
violated. 4

New Revenue Bit
Is Practically Certain

Washington, Sept. 10.-Passage of
the new revenue bill through the house
unopposed and probably unaltered in
any of its important provisions, seems
practically certain.
Despite this lack of opposition, Chair
man Kitchin of the house ways and
means committee today announced that
he had given up hope of getting the
measure through by Saturday, as orig
inally planned, because many members
desire to be heard in its favor.
The announcement of Representatives
Fordney and Moore, leading republi
cans of the ways and means committee
that they will fight to amend the BILL
but will vote for it if they lose their
fights, is indicative of the attitude of
members of both sides who are oppos
ed to certain provisions in the bill
but not to the bill as whole.

REPULsE, HEAVY ATTACK.
By Frank ]. Taylor.

With The American Armies In France
Sept. lin sharp fight northwest
of Colmar lin Alsaee) the Americans
repulsed heavy raid following an in
tense German barrage, in which more
than 200 mine throwers were used
against our trenches and 1000 big cali
bre shells were thrown into our COM
munieation lines and back areas.
The Germans came on with flame
throwcrs. The Americans met them and
in the course of fierce fight at close
range, the eney was driven off. In
their retreat the boches hastily threw
down a number Of flame throwers, riff
les and other supplies, which were cap
tured by our troops. More than sixty
Germans were counted running back
from the American trenches. They car
ried a number of dead and wounded.
Despite the large number of patrol
operations, the Germans for weeks have
been unable to take single American
prisoner on the Lorraine front.
Captured Germans say they were or
dered to get prisoners Immediately or it
would be necessary to make a raid as
big as a regular attack to secure the
information demanded by the enemy
commanders,
A general order advises all American
units to adopt policy of killing any
one who suggests surrendering. This
policy originated with certain unit
fighting at Fismette, where general OPP
erations were hampered when some ono
in an American uniform shouted that
further resistance was ont necessary
and that therefore the troops should
surrender. This was probably q German
propagandist. The unit was advised to
kill anyone suggesting surrender and
all American troops are following the
same plan. This means it will go hard
with any German propagandist attem-
ptingto injure the morale Of our soldiers

Austrian Minister Speaks For

BY Carl D. GrOat

Washington. Sept. 11.-Germany is
playing a sinister double game of peace
and war, according to information here

Her war game is Indictment Of the

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1l.--If baseball

dent, following the sensational demand
for more money yesterday, that some
ironclad rules and a broader and freer
spirit will have to be brought into the
game.
Newspapers here were demanding
that Ban johnson and Garry Hermann

The national game has slipped from
a point highest in the minds of the

not approach such a sum anywhere out

The national commission is blamed
to a great extent for its action last
winter in naming a sum for first place
clubs to take part in world series.
Heretofore, clubs taking part in the
series have received a sum depending
on the patronage. 1t was pointed out
