FOch COnfutes Kluck

With the French Army in France,
Oct. 14.-(By The Associated Press.)
Marshal Foch sealed his triumph
over General Ludendorff and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg yesterday,
when General Gouraud's men entered
Vouziers, in Champagne.
Vouziers is town of 5000 popula-
tion. 1t commands two defiles in the
forest region eastward and is of no
great military Importance in itself.
The significance in the capture arises
from the fact that since 1914 it has
symbolized German resistance in
northern France. Won Kluck, in ac-
knowledging the failure of the plan
to take Paris, said: "But the French
will never retake Vouziers," meaning
that not merely the inconsequential
town of that name, but the entire
system German defense aleng the,

IMPORTANT RED CROSS NOTICE
- BUY LIBERTY B

The Ocala Red Cross Chapter has
just received an urgent appeal from
the government for the conservation
of two metals needed in the prose-
cution of the war. One is a metal
which can be used merely by conserv-
ing heretofore waste products-this
metal is the homely tin which is used
for so many domestic purposes-the
other is the rarer but equally essen
tial metal of platinum which many
of our members possesses in the
form of jewelry and other articles
that they may be willing to sacrifice
for their country's netds.
Surely one or the other of these
metals can be collected by the Red
Cross members in our town.
We ask our members and the pub
lis generally to keep for US every bit
of tin foil, every empty tube Of salve
or tooth paste. every old pewter toy
or vessel of any sort. TIN is made
from these and we MUST HAVE TIN
TO CARRY ON THE WAR.
Platinum we have said is more
precious but that. too. many of our
members have. We ask the help of
each patriotic citizen; of every store
using. tin in any form; of every per-
SON willing and anxious to help win
the war.
We cannot use tin cans-they are
tin "in name only'-but WE CAN
AND WILL USE EVERY OTHER
FORM OF TIN. For further infor-
nation apply to w. p. Preer, Chair
man Conservation Committee.
Take or send your tin to the Ma
rion Hardware store, or notify Mr..
Preer, and he viii send for it.
