Achievements of khakLClad Boys heartens Stay-at-homes to Buy

That was some drive which Marshal Foch directed against the Hun when he thrust them backward from the Marne and sent them scurrying to their new line of defense along the Aisne.
 Never for a moment did the Hun hungry poAus and Tanks stop their flashing, smashing attack, never for a moment did they give the baby butch eTers a breathing spell; never for d moment was there thought with any one of them Of anything but putting just as many Germans as possible per manently out of business.
 Il was rldthtilling exhibition of Allied yalor, stimulated by typical Yankee punch.
 It gave The Crown Prince his mos decisive defeat Of the war IL set the PrussIan- dominated press of all Ger many to Camouflaging the situation. IL shook the German army morale and sent the first thrill of apprehension up and down the spine of the whole Ger man empire
 IL probably intimated to Kaiser Bill that after all the Lord was not alto gether holding up his end of the self appointed partnership. And 1t put new pIrit, new hope new confidence into every warweary Allied heart.
 The Biggest Drive of All.
 IL was a magnificent thrust. but the biggest anti-Hun drive of them all, the one that will mean more to the Allied cause than the last victory of the MarnS, that will pave the way for more tremendous onslaughts than ever, will begin on the 2sth Of Sep tember-the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive
 We stay thOmes could not partici- pate in that glorious Marne victory but we can, every mothers son of us. take part in this coming drive. We can make our dollars fight for us. We can show the world at large. our boys in the trenches and the German em plrs in particular that the heart Of America Is in this fight to the limit.
 And if our loyalty is genuine. If our patriotism Is simon pure, if our sense of duty Is thoroughly alive We will do this
 Early We will begin laying aside for our next bond purchase We will save as they struggle, lend as they fight
 And we will buy early, In order that the war will be over quickly and our boys over there be brought back over here

 Secretary McAdoo expressed full reliance on the loyal sentiment of business men and the income earn CTS throughout the country. So long as the manhood of the United States is driving back the Germans. the poo pie at home. he said, would put up the money to help them.
 He was not prepared to say what he size of the next bond issue will be, nor could he give any idea until he had had time to examine the prog ress that had been made by the Ways and Means Committee in arranging the next tax bill.
 He had been furnished no reason to modify the estimates he had made AiiChtl Oi iHpIt dEOt WAS WltNOul definite information as to how far the committee had been able to ad- vance the tax line mp to the mark set in the estimates, he said
 Just as soon as the work of the committee was completed, and the volume of money to be provided by taxation could be determined, the Secretary said he would announce the amount and the terms of the next bond issue Although no assurance was given. there was no intimasion in the seorstary's statement that any change in the interest rate was con templated.

TRAIN BRINGS MERRY CROWD
 1O SKAGNAY

Owing to the rotary snow plow and engines being stalled near the first tunnel on. the White Pass Route, the passenger train leaving this morning returned to Skagway about 1:30 o'clock.
 Along about "hungry time" on the train Miss Kate Ryan saved the day by producing from mysterious package four dozen, doughnuts which she had purchased from the bakery this morning before leaving, stat ing to the baker when she bought the goods that she had "hunch" they would be needed before the journey was oyer. Immediately several barrels of good old apple cider were ordeed and, like the man who said If I had some ham, I'd have some ham and eggs, if l had some eggs" they enjoyed a s; cd repast.
 But that was not all, music went with the feast, for Joseph R. Ma thews came to the rescue with a good voice, not his own but be longing to the photograph which he managed to find in that land of somewhere" and made the crowd merry with his singing. Speeches also were on the program, aid toasts completed the meal.
 But the passengers did not come back to town for nothing; they came hack for afternoon tea. At least that's what they say, and We have no reason to doubt but what they are hungry after being fill cd with toast and cider, and real doughnuts.
 They all oolk happy, however, and are planning to enjoy the dance tonight in the Arctic Brother hood hall which is being gven in their honor.
