ssWar Savings Drive. -

The nation wide drive for the sale of
So, 000, 900, 900 of war savings stamps is
to be completed by midnight June 28th.
The same committee who had charge
of the Liberty Loan drive will handle
the War Savings. The pledges are all
that is required at this time, and these
pledges can be paid any time before
December 31st.
The local committee will canvass the
city of Edgerton next week, and every
body is expected to pledge as many
certificates as they can possibly afford.
S., 900 is the limit that one person can
buy, but you can subscribe for $1,000
for yourself and also for your wife and
children. These certificates pay per
cent interest, compounded quarterly,
and are free from all tax, making them
an ideal investment for both large and
small investors. Be prepared to hand
in your pledge next week when you
are called upon.
Did the above notice bring to you
the fact that it is the dimes, the quar-
tiers, as we'll as the dollars that are
necessary to drive out our enemies
silent allies?
We bought bonds before in order
that we might not be placed in bondage
to the Germans later. We are now
| asked to buy stamps that the stamp of
| German soldiery may be stilled and vic
tory more quickly come to our boys
over there.
Every man, woman and child should
| find it possible to pledge to buy War
Savings Stamps. There will be final
wind-up and report made of the sue
cess met with in the local joint school
district. This will occur at a meeting
to be held at the high school building
on June % at 7:3O in the evening. Be
at that meeting if you live in the school
district. Attendance at this meeting
will be an evidence of your co-opera-
ton. You cannot afford not to give
this evidence of feeling which you
undoubtedly possess.

Dear Mother and All: Well, this
leaves me feeling fine and dandy and
hope it finds you all the same. We are
just beginning to get our summer
weather around here now and it surely
feels fine. The sun is shining and the
birds singing and the flowers are be-
ginning to bloom, just as If there was
no war.
1t sounds queer to hear the small
birds singing and to hear a shell burst
not more than dozen feet away. The
Smelling doesn't seem to scare the birds
away.
Twas going through a certain city
over here the other day and met Hugo
Stark and Chris Nelson. Tom Ruosch

letter that his name was Tellefson bu

evening. They are all well and work

.Sergt. E. w. Shaw in writing from
France under date of May 3rd says in
part:
''Last night an American girl ambu-
lance driver drove by our camp and
stopped for talk with the boys and
nearly every one in camp focked around
her car, as an American girl here is
something We seldom see and it is a
great treat to talk to one. There are
over here, but guess they are all in
working for the Red Cross, Y. M. C.
A. and Salvation Army. We see a
great many French girls and few
English. but the good American girl
has got the world beat.
1T does US a great deal of good to
read about the patriotism the people
at home are showing and it Is up to our
country to win the war as soon as pos
sible, so the more soldiers they send
and more money they raise the quicker
this hideous war will end. We have no
idea how long it will last and as high
officer told me, that anybody who
who stated how much longer the war
was going to last was crazy. 1t may
be six months and may be six years,
but it is hard to believe that it can last
great time. 1t is the greatest thing
our country ever did to declare war on
Germany, as there was practically no
chance to stay out of it much longer,
and also the wonderful help we will be
to the allies. We have been able to
see how the Germans ruined everything
they saw, that they did not steal. And
if you could see the cities with not
single building standing, churches that
were beautiful, now in ruins. and
graveyards all smashed to pieces, fruit
trees sawed off for no reason only to
destroy, and hear the stories of other
things they have done, would make
anybody want to fight them"
Harvey Davis, with Co. C, 1O7 Field
Signal. writes to his folks from France
and in part says:
We are now in a fruit and grain
country, fruit on the hilisides and
grain in the valleys. They do their
blowing with oxen, as the horses have
all been taken for war purposes. 1t is
just grand here and has rained only a
few days since we came. Tell dad he
ought to see French shot gun and he
would think they were years behind
the times. There is quite a lot OF game
around here, rabbits and pheasants,
and | would like to go hunting, but we
have larger game to hunt for awhile.

COMMENT OF GERMAN PRESS
 ON PRESIDENT WILSON'S REPLY

Amsterdam, Oct. Recommending on President Wilson's reply to the German peace offer. the Berlin Vos- sische Zeitung asks:
 What guarantees does President Wilson offer that military superiority will not be utilized afterward by his allies in a manner opposed to the principles of justice and conciliation It appears that we are at a stage when it is still possible to warn the enemy that in the history of the world | it has often been proved a mistake to drive strong nation which in order not to venture it's all offered it's hand in peace, into summoning all it's slum- bering forces to the national battle"
 The Frankfort Zeitung says: "Presi- dent Wilson's reply cannot be said to mark an advance on the path of peace On the contrary, another spirit speaks in the note. The spirit of Clemenceau and Lloyd George makes its presence felt and causes doubt to arise whether the path can lead to the goal"
 The Cologne Gazette, which often speaks authoritatively, says: After President Wilson's note, hope for peace must be lowered a few pegs"
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung takes the same stand. This newspaper declares that cessation of Germany's U-boa' warfare cannot be demanded before al
 armiBtice is concluded. The Ger. mans must lower their hopes of asnea1 peace of justice without humiliation, says the Cologne Volks Zeitung.

Around this land Bolshevik gunboats, protected by r.inG fields and low sandy island, have delivered a bombardment with shells of all cal ibres.
 The allies, meanwhile, have been forced to strive against the rapidly falling river, which is it'll of sand l bars.
