The Responsibility
 of Each American

The world stands brcathless today watching the greatest race in all hu man history, the race between the United States and Germany. GermaHy trying to close up the war before America can really get into it. and America trying to get in before il is too late. Those dreadful words too late" we have heard altogether too often in this war. but they must never apply to the food supply of our allies.
 Before each American stands the personal responsibility of doing his part three times a day to see that we meet the imperative food needs of the armies and peoples abroad. Food is the weapon with which Amer ica can maintain position in the war long enough finally to win it. Food Is not saved to save money. buf to sa7d the lives that will win the war. We are not spending money today to get that Liberty. Freedom and Justice We demand We are spending the precious blood of men and boys-the best that we have by the hundreds-and by the thous- ands.
 God may forgive the man who makes money out of the war, but the Amer ican people and the soldier who re- turns from France never will-(Ray Lyman Wilbur)

Putnam Boys
Heroic Death
Pistol CIutched in Right Hand
Refusing Surrender, Brave
Tennessean Killed Half DOz-
en- Huns in Struggle.

Cookeville, Tenn, June 2O.-The
horic death of Sam Lefever, the first
Putnam county boy to lose his life on
the battlefield in France, has stirred
the people Of this county He was
reared in the Eighth civil district OF
this county, where his parents now
reside. The report of the particulars
of his death, received by them, by let
ter, Is that he was one of small par
ty Of soldiers which started across
No Mans Land on raid. Young Le-
fever failed to return and his young
er brother, and few other COM
rades, ventured back in search OF
him. They found him dead, his body
riddled with German bullets and his
revolver clutched in his right hand.
Around him, and lying within twelve
feet Of him, lay the dead bodies of six
German soldiers, whom he had evi-
IDENTIFY killed in the death struggle in
which he engaged. A movement is
now on foot in this county to arrange
for permanent memorial in honor
Of the memory Of this brave young
Putnam county soldier.

Kaiser Still Has
Big Reserve For
His Next Effort
Strength of Allies Is Not Yet
Equal to Foe, Who Has Same
Number as When March Of
fensive Began.

WITH THE AMERICAN FOR
CEs IN PICARDY, June 21.-The
Germans will eventually strike their
hardest blow along a line some part
of which is held by the Americans.
That is the belief Of the American
fighting men who took Cantigny and
who for close upon two months have
maintained their positions opposite
Montidier in the face of violent en-
emy onslaughts.
1t is almost an ingrained conviction
of the galland troops defending the
road to Paris, at Chateau-Thierry.
There are several good reasons for
believing that our boys before long
will be called upon to maintain the
shock Of another and still more pow
erful German thrust. Should Luden-
dorff decide to launch his weight
against Amiens, with Abbeville and
the isolating of the British salient,
and hence be in contact with our Pi-
cardy contingent.
Men on Both Routes.
Should he, on the other hand, es-
say to pierce the allied line in the
southerly direction, aiming at Paris,
he must meet the American forces
Foch flung into the Marine battle on
June l.
Any operation that seeks fn~
tory for the Hohenzollerns, must be
directed either westward toward the
Channel, or southwark toward Paris.
Ludendorff has no lack of man-pow-
er despite the losses he has sustained
since March 21, for the Allies hive
had losses too.

Enemy Is All Set
For Big Gamble In
Rupprecht's Force
He Hopes to Score By Sudden
Onslaught and Will Stake
the Princes Divisions Which
Have Been Resting Weeks.
By JOSEPH W. eRIGG.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 20.-There is not the
slightest doubt that the enemy is ali
set for one of his wild bull drives.
There is great enemy aerial activity
on the Arras front, and he is hoping
to score again through sudden on
Islaguht. One day Hazebrouck seems
his immediate object; then; again it
appears to be Amiens.
What is absolutely certain is that
he is preparing to make a desperate
gamble with Prince Rupprecht's di-
visions, over twenty in number, which
have been rested and fattened for
weeks. Will he stake his wealth of
reserves on the red or on the blue?
Will it be north or south, against
British or French?
Fronts Pulse Quickensd.
The whole front has developed a
quickened pulse. BY their frequent
raids the British have got te wind of
many German sectors, and as a con-
sequence the enemy spasmodically
lays down barrages Of varying inten-
sity to try to prevent prisoners being
taken, or by strafing back areas to
interfere with troop movements and
communications.
The German is certainly notori-
Gus imitator, and this is shown again
in his recent orders to make more
use of smoke screens for batteries,
especially his minnewerfers. The
other day there was big smoke cloud
suddenly waited down the valley
from his lines. 1t is probable that
in future battles he intends to follow
the British example at Zeebrugge and
Ostend, where an immense smoke
screen was used before the sea at
tack
While the big battle waits the de-
cisicn of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
combination, there is an intensified
battle of back areas in progress in
which the Germans are getting the
worst of it. Tons upon tons of bombs
are dropped by day and night upon
his communications and supplies, and
American and British squadrons
grasp the opportunities these night
and day strafes afford. The enemy
chooses the night time to do most
of his bombing.
He Bombs Only at Night.
"That's because he hasn't the
nerve to do day bombing on any large
SCALE" said the commander of one
British bombing squadron with whom
] talked to-day after he had returned
from strafng some railroad building
in the enemy lines, and he added:
Besides, he has an idea that there's
a big psychological effect in night
bombing"
1t IS true too that he is short Of
pilots, and, despite the fact that he
reaches up into the heavens fully
21,O00 feet with his Archie fire, the
British vetern bomb throwers prefer
daylight, for then they can see the
effect of their work, which is always
more deadly than It could be At night.
It is this daylight bombing and use
Of machine guns at low altitude which
has caused the enemy to detrain men
far back Of the line

A recent report by the commercial
attache of the American embassy in
Paris to the department of commerce
discloses: That while the area which
has been under German occupation
for almost four years is small, prior to
August, 1914, northern and eastern
France, with Belgium, constituted one
of the worlds busiest workshops. In
the invaded departments of France
alone there were nearly $4,000 fac
tories and industrial establishments.
These factories represented more than
80 per cent of the industrial output of
all of France. Before the war, the de-
partments now wrested from the Hun
furnished France with the following
= proportion of the country's total pro-
duction of the articles named: Iron
ore, 80 per cent; pig iron, S3 per cent;
steel. rs per cent; coal, 20 per cent;
combed wool. "a per cent; linen
thread, 80 per cent; sugar, 65 per cent

Coal mines have been flooded. and
years will elapse before coal will be
hoisted out of them again.

A PULL ALL TOGETHER.

Commercial organizations and bust
ness men have the greatest oppor-
tunity in history, and at the most cru
cial period in civilization, to act with
vigor and broad vision in order to
bring about the transfer of the ma
TONS activities from war to peace con-
ditions. They should Immediately
plan for the utmost activity on the
part of their members and their COM
munities in developing a spirit OF OPP
timism expressed thru action.
Every municipal Improvement that
is needed should be given immediate
consideration and put under contract
just as soon as possible.
The man who has been holding back
from building q dwelling or making
other improvements should now pre-
pare for prompt action. even if by do
ing so some of these betterments and
i improvements generally may cost a
little more than they might cost a few
years hence.
The federal government should ag-
excessively work for the expansion OF
railroad interests and the building OF
highways and the construction of pub
lie buildings delayed during the last
| two years on account of the war. But
the federal government cannot do ev-
erything.
There are thousands of towns and
cities in the country which need i'm
provements Of streets. of water sys-
TENS, of sewerage plants. of public
buildings and kindred activities. There
is probably not q county in the coun-
try which does not need road work
done. Every possible undertaking OF
this kind should be put to construction
as quickly as possible. This is not q
matter of philanthropy. 1t is a mat
ter of far-seeing judgment. I,
1t ought to be entirely possible tc

should not be an idle man nor an idle

ness is due to a scarcity of work.
Measured by its resources, the en-.
tire development of this country is il
its infancy. We have limitless oppor
tunities for expansion. More foot
must be raised. Billions of dollar.
should be spent in the building o

put into railroad expansion.
