Sunday. April 7-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Twenty-five divisions
have been used by the Germans in
the last four days in efforts to
break through the French line and
reach the railroad running south
from Amiens. All attacks have
been checked by the wonderful re-
sistance of the French, some of
whom were thrown into the line as
soon as they arrived on the battle
field.
The Germans are obtaining only
Insignificant results in their at
tempts to advance, considering the
number of troops engaged, as the
German force is at least three times
as great as the number of French
defenders.
The cheerfulness and confidence
with which the French troops go in
to action is remarkable. They feel
they are better than the enemy and
make light of the German superior
ity in numbers. The French COM
mand continues to work on the
principle of using the smallest pos
sible number of troops to stay the
German rush, thus retaining the re-

the first days subscriptions in the
third Liberty loan campaign AZ

somewhat too high though. as first
reports usually are too optimistic.
After planning a system for

day by day, officials in charge Of
the campaign now are considering
Withholding reports or giving them
out weekly or by-weekly. The fig
ures it was explained. might be a

system would eliminate al danger
of over-estimation.
Several hundred towns within a
day or two probably will fly the
honor flag or the third loan. Thir-
ty thousand flags have been dis
tributed to district committees,
which will award them TO commu-
mites reaching or exceeding their
allotments. Without waiting for
determination of which community
won the honor flag first-since
scores reported within few min
utes after the campaign officially
opened-some district headquarters
forwarded the flags to honor roll
towns today.
In an effort to clear Up which
communities are entitled TO first
honors in the flag competition,
headquarters today took steps to
obtain affidavits from local COM
mittees to be checked up with tele-
graph company records and with
statements from federal reserve
district organizations.
