COUNTY
CHAIRMAN
ISSUES CALL
PROCLAMATION.

For the fourth time since the
United States declared war
against Germany our govern
ment has asked its people to
lend their money to aid in max
ing the world decent place in
which to live. This time we
are asked to buy $6,OO0,OO0
worth of Liberty Bonds. Lake
County's allotment of this Loan
is 100000.
The winning of the war is
vital necessity apd the lending
of money to the government for
the purpose Of winning the war
is essential and also a splendid
investment. 1t is now the duty
Of every true American to show
to the world that the principles
for which this nation stands are
of greater value than all wealth.
I therefore urge upon every
citizen in Lake County to go to
his or her appointed place on
Saturday, September 28th. and
dedicate every dollar each can
possibly spare to the purchase
of Liberty Bonds in aid of one
of the most righteous causes
that has ever appealed to the
hearts of humanity Do not
wait to be called upon. Do not
wait to be told how much you
should subscribe. Buy as much
as you think you are able, then
buy more? In that way, and in
that way only. will you be doing
your whole duty to your country
and be holding up the hands Of
two million brave American
boys who are fighting that you
may be free and unafraid.

WITH THE BRITISH WEST OF
vERDUN. Sept. 27.-The Americans
worked so rapidly when they charged
over the top yesterday that they did
not even pause TO examine IN the con-
crete Hindenburg line, which was sup
posed to be impregnable and had proven
a barrier to tho allies for four years.
In reteattng behind the Hindenhurg
line sometime in the past the Germans
had blown up a bridge on the road to
verennes. leaving an enormous hole
more than $50 feet wide and so feet
deep. around which pushed men, tanks
and trucks. Everywhere the Germans
have left desclation. The Hindenburg
trenches are protected with a solid con-
crcte wall more than two feet thick at
most points, the passageway averaging
three feet in width and eight feet in
depth. There are numerous machine gun
positions, dugouts, etc, at frequent in
tervals.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-Re-
ports through German channels
that Bulgaria has asked an armis-
tice as the result of the terrific
drive of allied troops in Macedonia
which threaten to complete the
disaster to her armies was receiv-
ed with no surprise here today.
While there is a tendency on the
part of some officials to regard the
Bulgarian move as part of the leu
ton peace maneuvers there also is
a strong conviction that the pre-
mier Of Bulgaria is on the square.
For many weeks it has been known
that the situation in Bulgaria has
been increasingly difficult for the
government there. In the last
week advices here have indicated
that she would soon collapse under
the strain.
The suspicious feature of the re-
port however, IS that it is launch
ed through German channels and
pending more complete details Of
the move officials here were ex-
tremely reserved in their comment.
