WAR SAVING SOCIETIES
MUST KEEP INTEREST
IN THRIFT TO FRONT

Muskogce, Okla. March 3d.
lSpecial) - War savings societies
are depended upon by the National
War Savings committee to keep up
interest in thrift and savings, dur
ing the months drive OF the Lib
orty loan.
The Liberty loan will not inter
iere in any way with the war say
ings campaign, as the latter method
OF raising money to carry on the
war brings out cash from sources
untouched by the Liberty loan
There is no more rivalry between
the Liberty loan and the war say
ings stamps campaign than there is
between our superdreadnaughts and
our dcstroyers. Each represents a
different mode of financial opera
ton.
The war savings campaign is to
teach people the habit OF thrift and
saving and is operated every day
The Liberty loan campaigns are in
auguratcd at intervals during the
progress of the war.
War savings societies, of which
10000 are being organized in Okla
homa, are community centers, where
patriotic people meet to diliuso
knowledge OF war activities and
further the interest of war saving
stamps by encouraging constant say
ing and thrift.

tion of retaking it was expected by
a French general, but a British gen.
eral commanding a cavalry division
requested the honor of attacking it,
which was given. The dismounted
cavalrymen advanced to the assault,
watched by their French comrades,
and, Notwithstanding the most OBJ
Stmate German defense, succeeded
in taking the German hill and III
holding it ever since.
The Germans, who were advanc-.
ing in two directions toward Amiensi

the direction OF Amicns and to have
thrown the greater part of their
drive around Mont Didier, where
the French regained some ground

The French are holding strongly

of heights westward OF Mont Didier.
Then the line runs north through

crosses the Somme near Sally lie
Sec, passes westward OF Albert and
Beaumont Hamel, and afterward

BATTLE MAY DEVELOP
INTO LONG STRUGGLE
Enemy Making Effort to Get Its
Heavy Guns in Action.
CBy The Associated Press.)

by he Associated fress.)
The impression tonight among
the troops fighting along the front
is that the battle will develop into
long struggle similar to those at
Ncrdun and the first battle OF the
Somme.
The Germans are making strenu-
Gus efforts to bring their heavy ar
tillery forward to support their in
fantry, which has borne the brunt
of the whole engagement thus far.
1t is considered probable that they
will make another formidable rush
with all their available reserves, but
the allied commanders view the fu-
ture with confidence. They regard
the situation as satisfactory, and be-
lieye that the only change will be
toward improvement.
The Germans now occupy a sort
OF pocket in the Franco british
lines, which leaves them open to
flank attacks. For this reason they
extended their attacking lines to the
eastward of Arras for the purpose
of smoothing out sharp salient
but to be successful, they will be
compelled to pay a heavy price
Whether they will be able to afford
this after the extremely heavy losses
they have sustained is for them to
Judge.
Use Many Reserves.
They used up a larger number OF
divisions of their reserves than they
foresaw would be necessary foi
the progress they have achieved, for
the resistance Of the British was un-
expected.
The line now extends approxi
mately 55 miles and the French oc
cupy the line to within a few kilo
meters south OF the Somme river
Everywhere the French and Brit
ish are working in complete har
mony, holding their newly occupied
positions with wonderful tenacity
On Thursday when the German
occupied Mount Renaud, the inten

Crown Prince Again.

1t is possible that the impetuosity
OF the German crown prince, who
commands this group, may be lead
ing him too far
If the push is intended to open a
southwark path for the Germans it
seems to extend too lar to the west
on the southern line to win in a
way to the Disc where the river
curves southwest from Noyon and
flows on toward Paris. A possibil-
ity is that the Germans are attempt
ing to stayc off an allied counter
blow, attacking themselves rather
than stand still and be attacked on
this their most exposed front
On the remainder of the front the
situation virtually is without change
so far as official reports reveal.

the start OF the offensive ten days
ago.
Fooled at Arras in the attempt to
take that place from the British and
diSorganizc the northern British
line and finding themselves able to
advance only step by step in their
great thrust on the Somme toward
Amicns, the Germans last night
turned southwark and hurled heavy
masses upon the French in the
Montdidier salient
1t is from Morcnil, ten miles
northwest of Montdidier, in a curry
ing line around the latter place and
eastward to beyond LaSsigny, near
~ fifteen miles away, that the battle
was raging at last accounts Violent
assaults were delivered upon the
French lines, which developed a
powerful resistance and were fur
