MONSTER OFFENSIVE is
BEGUN ON IS MILE FRONT
GERMANS SELECT ROAD TO PAR
is IN RENEWAL OF DRIVE. AS
SAULT WAS PRECEDED BY A
TERRIFIC COMMANDMENT.

The expected renewal of the Ger
man offensive in France has begun.
Fierce battles are in progress on
both sides of the famous Cathedral
City of Rheims, which since the last
offensive along the Marine has stood
the apex of a sharp salient into the
German line.
Sixty Five-Mile Battle Front.
West of Rheims the Germans with
the pressure of large numbers of
troops, the unleashing of which was
preceded by a veritable hail of high
explosive and gas shells, have been
enabled to cross the Marine at sever
al places. East of the city, however,
they have been held for the smallest
of gains by the tenacious resistance
of the defenders of the line. Alto

gate about IS miles in length.
Americans Fight Valiantly.
American troops are fighting va
llantly on the sectors they have been
holding and at two points have met
with notable success. At Vaux they
not only broke down violent attack
by the enemy, but drove him back
several hundred yards and only re-
turned to their former positions when
the advance of the Germans south
east of Chateau-Thierry across the
Marine made the re-occupation of
their trenches of strategic value.
Drive Was Expected Elsewhere.
The lay world had expected the
German main effort to be loosed
against the line from the Marine to
the Aisne, north Of Chateau-Thierry.
in the Picardy sector, towards Able
vile, or further north in the Lys sec
tor against the channel ports. Along
this line the allies have been daily
improving their lines and preparing
for the new drive.
But the Germans chose a sector
which, except for a surprise attack
around Rheims late in June. has been
quiet since the offensive launched on
the Alsne on May 81 came to a stand
still: East of Rheims and north of
Chalons there has been but little
fighting of significance for a long
time.

PLANS MATURING FOR
BIG w. S. S. CAMPAIGN.

After the heavy bombardment of
the big guns, come the infantry with
their rifle and machine gun fire. That
is the fighting order in the great bat
ties on the west front. the greatest
battles ever known in the world, and
upon which the fate of the world de-
ponds. The infantry with their small
arms could not advance, if it were not
for the heavy gunfire first; but the
heavy gunfire would be useless, unless
followed up by the infantry and small
arms advance.
Uncle Sam in his Liberty Bond CAM
paigns, is putting across his financial
heavy gun bombardment. The drum
fire was more than a success. More
than $4,000, 000, 900 were taken in these
bonds. But the small arms, the rifle
and machine gun fire, must be kept
up all the time. The big guns cannot
be shooting every minute of every
day and every week; but the rifle and
the machine gun are always busy on
the first line. So to supplement the
big gun bond we have the small arm
War Saving Stamp. These stamps
are selling every day and every week.
With them you can always be sniping
the enemy. destroying his morale,
keeping him busy so that he cannot
attack.
And while the big guns could not
accomplish their purpose without the
aid of the small arms, so the govern
ment has planned to raise this year,
through the w. S. S., $4,000, 100000,
two thirds of the amount asked for
in the tremendously big Liberty Bond
Campaign that has just ended. Do
you see the Importance the govern
ment puts on the small arm fire?
Now that the bond campaign is over
we must get buster than ever with
thrift stamps.
The bonds might be bought by mil
lion dollars worth, and the smallest
amount was $50. Thrift stamps sell
at 25 cents each. So the work must
be continuous.

A o THAT GRIPS
No Pastime Holds the Interest of Par.
Elephants as Trapshooting Does.

There is no sport in America, not
excepting golf, that grips and holds
the interest as trapshooting, more pop
ularly known as the Patriotic Sport"
AS shooting is instinctiyely and dis
tinctively American, one cannot Won
der that the sport of shooting has ia
ken its place among the leading pas
times on the American continent.
1t is a matter of record that oyer
1900 clubs have been organized solely
for trapshooting. With an average
membership of so, this means an or
ganization of practically 200. 900 men
who are more or less expert in the use
of shotguns.
Many thousands more are unattach-
ed, that is to say, sportsmen who own
shotguns but who are not affiliated
with any club.
1t is variously estimated that, all
told. there are a half million active or
semi-active trapshooters in the United
States.
The sport of trapshooting, be it
known. develops the faculties to an
extent where ones judgment of dis
