GERMAN Grasp

troops in the Champagne are surg
ing forward toward equally vital
supply lines on the other. The bat
tie line is assuming the shape Of a
vast trap thrusting its jaw out to
engulf the German armies.
The German leaders have seen
their danger. Official reports to the
State department today indicated
that evacuation of the submarine
bases on the Belgian coast was i'm
:ni1ent. There also IS conclusive
evidence that the evacuation of the
lines before Rheims is well unier
way. The question upperno5t in
the minds of army officers here is
whether the German high command
has acted in time.
Announcement from Paris that
1000 prisoners were taken by the
French yesterday in operations be-
tween the Vesle and tne Aisne
rivers, is significant OF the difficulty
of getting troops back safely out Of
an abandoned fighting line. There
has been no hint of a French attack
en- a large scale on this front and
the Berlin statements have charac-
terized the movement as a with
drawal Only a narrow front was
involved, yet 1000 men, left as rear
guards, were captured,

BRITISH help TO

Secretary Baker Gives Praise
for Great Assistance Rem
dered in Transport by
United Kingdom.

London, Oct. 2.-Newton D.
Baker, American secretary of war,
issued the following statement here
tonight:
The primary purpose of my visit
to London was to arrange for fur
Their cooperation in the matter of
shipping to carry out the enlarged
military program upon which Amer
lea has embarked. The result of
conferences on this subject appear
in the transactions of the inter-al-
lied maritime council, but l am
happy to give public expression to
my high appreciation of the cordial
way in which the British govern
ment has worked.
Transportation or the vast army
of Americans now in France has
been possible only because of the
assistance rendered by British ships.
The whole exploit is a fine example
of international cooperation and ar
engagements have been made to give
a fresh illustration of the heartiness
with which the allied nations are as
sociating their means and facilities
for the common cause.
This visit to England has given
me the opportunity which | did not
have before to visit some camps,
hospitals and other facilities pro-
vided for us here. The story of
what has been done in the United
kingdom for American soldiers will
be eagerly read in America and will
form another bond of friendly feel
ing between the peoples of the two
great nations"

ments in the hope that with these the
entente statesmen will be willing
to confer about peace
Indications of such a purpose are
discerned by American athcias in
various u,terances and acts of the
German and Austrian leaders. In
his acceptance of the resignation of
Premier Won Hertling, Emperor
William appealed to the strong men
OF Germany to come to his aid and
share the burdens of government,
a direct bid for the support of the
socialists and centristS in return for
participation in the cabinet.
Then there are the statements in
leading German newspapers, signifl-
cant because they have passed the
scrutiny of the German censors,
that the creation of a responsible
cabinet is under consideration. Next
is the refusal OF the socialists to en-
ter the government as at present
constituted, indicative OF deter
mination to hold out for the right
of tie majority party in the reichs-
tag to name the members of the
cabinet, even though that involves
the change of the German consti-
tuition.
As a halfway measure and in a
desperate effort to save the imperial
prerogative, Emperor William al
ready has tried the expedient of him
self selecting leaders of the opposi-
ton parties for minor places in the
cabinet and promising to forward
the enactment of popular measures.
But the socialists have generally de-
cllned to accept anything short of
absolute control of the cabinet
through the reichstag without refer
ence to the wishes of the emperor,
and officials believe that at length
they are about to realize their as
pirations.
Such change in Germany doubt
less would be followed, if not in
deed preceded. by similar revolu-
tom in Austrian parliamentary gov
eminent and it is fully expected that
as soon as real representative gov
eminent is fact in the central EN-
pires there will be an irresistible
movement towards peace, even on
the terms laid down by President
Wilson.

announcement by j.. O. Andrews of

when South Dakota was an infant

BACK TO HALF AND HALF

Any notifications of the $3.50 rule
requiring the purchase OF an equal
amount Of substitutes for every
amount of flour purchased are aban-
doned by an order received from Her
bert Hoover, national food admins
traitor, by C. n. Herreid, federal food
administrator for South Dakota, late
last week.
The rule put into effect some time
ago requiring people to buy flour and
flour substitutes in equal amounts was
modified in a number of states be-
cause of the lack of substitutes. In
South Dakota the food administrator
modified the rule SO that every pur-
chase of flour must be accompanied by
the purchase of a fourth of the amount
in substitutes.
This rule is abandoned and the i'm
mediate enforcement of the $3.50 rule
goes into effect Immediately. Every
pound of flour purchased must be ac.
companied by one pound of some sub
stitute authorized by the food admin
istration before it can be taken from
the store where it is purchased.
The food administration gives the
following that they may be purchased
as substitutes for flour:
Corn meal, corr starch. corn flour,
hominy. orn grits, barley flour, rice,
rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soy bean flour and f~eterita
flours and meals.

When you buy your first stamp you will be given a Thrift
Gard with spaces for afixine sixteen stamps. This card will
show at all times just how much money you have loaned the
Government.
AS soon as you have sixteen stamps on your card-$4. 90
lUorth-yOuc can take them to any place where u. S. Thrift
Stamps are sold and there exchange them with a small cash
payment for a "War Savings Stamp" that will pay you 4
per cent interest.
What is a War-Savings Stamp? When affixed to a War.
Savings Certificate, it is an obligation of the United States
Government to pay the holder SIS. 90 on January +, 1928.
All the wealth and security of the United States are behind
it. 1t is as good as a Government bond, which is the safest
nvestmen in the world.
Now let's see how Thrift Stamps are changed into War.
Savings Stamps.
Suppose you have card full of Thrift Stamps-$4.OO worth
and want to turn them into a War-Savings Stamp in March.
All you have to do is to put fourteen cents with your card
and take it to any place where u. S. Thrift and War-Savines
Stamps are sold. There it will be exchanged for FiOe DoHa,
War Savings Stamp, which will put you in the investor class.
If you exchange US Thrift Stamps for War-Savines Stamps
IN April, it will be fifteen cents; and SO on a cent a month
up to December, 1918, whep the added amount will be
twenty-three cents. The sooner you buy the less the cost.
