Special Notice
To Correspondents,
AGENTS and
Subscribers

The War Industries Board has
ruled that the newspapers must
reduce by Is per cent their con-
sumption Of news print paper.
There will be no exceptions to the
ruling. Some publishers who
have been running their business
In a loose sort Of fashion, not
having their subscription lists
paid up, will find it easy to COM
ply with this ruling-yet hard,
for they will lose much money by
disseminating papers to dclin-
quents, many Of whom will not
renew their subscriptions.
Fortunately. that is far in the
past with the Banner-its sub
scription list having been paid in
advance for several years. But
there il one practice we will have
to abandon land not through
choice. by far and that Is the
8 huMoring" Of the subscriber by
mailing him one or more sample
copies after his subscription has
expired. 1t IL specified in the
ruling Of the board that sample
copies may no longer be sent out.
The rulings are sweeping in their
scope, and can only be partially
referred to in so limited n space.
For instance, a publisher may not
now exchange papers with other
publishers. except those within a
radius Of forty miles: sample
copies may not be sent out for
any purpose, free copies may not
be- given out at the Office OF pub
licntion, commissions may not be
given for the securing of sub
scriptions. and mo publisher may
continue subscriptions after the
date of expiration, unless SUBJ
scriptiOns are renewed and paid
for in full"
The Banner has been discontin-
ued to all agents who were re-
ceiving 1t free Of charge. but, Ms
the rulings permit it, we will
continue to mail the paper to
those correspondents who send in
news reports erefy ,reek. Other
correspondents will receive copy
Of the Banner as often as they
send In news reports.
AS for paid subscriptions, nc
change Is necessary, except the
discOntinuanee OF sample copies
In an effort to win back the sub,
scriber whose subscription has
just expired. Subscription state
ments will be mailed out regu
larly. and all subscriptions dis

the Germans are fortifying a line Of
defense from Antwerp. in Belgium, on
the north to Metz, Germany, on the
south. This is called the "Parsifal
line" If the Huns are driven back
upon this defensive line they will aban-
don practically all of Northern France
and half of Belgium.
Friday of last week the American
forces under Gen. Pershing wiped out
the st. Mihiel salient, and captured
1900 prisoners, also sixty heavy field
guns. This forces the Huns hack to
the Hindenburg line in that sector,
which is about ten miles from the Ger
man frontier 1t also secures to the
Allies the control of the railroad from
Eerdun, Toul and Nancy.
The offensive movement by the Allies
was continued last Saturday and the
Germans We're pushed back about two
miles, and beyond the bend i'll which is
situated the important town of Laon.
Seven thousand prisoners We're taken,
making 10000 during the two days at
tack around the st. Mihiel salient.
1t was reported Monday that the
Huns were withdrawing along the
whole thirty three mile front between
Aleaucourt and the Moselle River, i'll
an effort to improve their protection of
communications in the vicinity Of
Metz. Our patrols now control the
area between the American lines and
the Hindenburg reserve defenses. The
Germans are digging in far to the rear,
rather than attempt to dispute the
American gains.
4 dispatch dated Tuesday says
