correspondent SHOT in EYE
Chicago Newspaper Man Followed
Marines Past Hun Machine Guns.

With the American Armies in
France, June S.-The circumstances
of the wounding of Floyd Gibbons,
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.
were related today by one of the Of
ficers who accompanied him.
They were on their way to visit an
American machine gun emplacement,
Thursday evening. AS they were
crossing a small open space in Bus
siares wood, a hidden boche machine
gun opened fire. Gibbons and the
officers dropped in the grass and lay
quietly for while.
Presently, some decided to jump up
and run. This apparently included
Gibbons and one of the officers. Five
minutes later they heard Gibbons say
1T believe I'm hit" They asked him
where, and he replied. I'm the eye."
They decided to lie quietly in the
grass until dark. When they crawled
out Gibbons was helped to an ambu-
lance in which he was taken to hos
pital.
Gibbons lost the sight of one eye
He also has a slight wound in the
arm.

LAUDS U. s. men
Valor of Americans Invincible,
Says Lloyd George.
French More Determined Than
Ever as Aid Comes.

London, June s.-Premier David
Lloyd George, in replying to toast
to the success Of the entente allied
arms at the dinner of the Printers
Society of London tonight, said that
Britishers have made unsurpassed sac
rifices for a great purpose and a high
ideal.
One of the most encouraging things,
the premier continued. was the sup
erb valor and the trained skill with
which the Americans have taken their
part in the struggle and defeated the
foe 1t is a most encouraging thing
Of those troops and we were depend
ing on them.
In his reference to the Americans,
the premier said:
Show Both Valor and Skill.
ct have just returned from France.
where I met a French statesman who
had been at the battle front soon
after an engagement where the Amer
leans fought. He was full of admira-
ton, not merely for their superb
vaIor, but the great skill with which
they attacked and defeated the foe.
His repor< of the conduct OF the Amer
lean troops, a division which had been
in action for the first ti-ae, was one
of the most encouraging things that
I have heard. We knew that when
ever they appear in the battle line
they will fight in way worthy of the
great traditions of their country. This
is. in itself, q source of support. sus-
tenance and encouragement to all
those who, with anxious hearts. are
watching the conflict going on in
France"
In conclusion, Premier Lloyd George
said:
Have Emerged from Crisis.
I'VE have faced a great crisis. We
have heard Ludendorffs threat of
hammer blows. Hammer blows would
crush poor metal, but they harden
and consolidate good metal. There is
good metal in British hearts and it
has stood the test of centuries. It
will stand this, SO will that gallant
people across the channel who are
fighting for the honor of their native
land.
81 never saw a sign of wavering in
any French face. They are full of
courage and determination and it is a
united France moro than ever"

Chicago, June S-CORN-Corn moved
upward In price today. largely az a result
of buying in anticipation of small receipts
and Of increased cash demand later. Opin-
ions prevailed that wheat would be given
preference in the movement of grain from

which offerings were absorbed made sellers
cautious. Opening prices, which ranged
from the same as yesterdays finish to hc
lower with July $1.36H to S1.37h, were
followed by q material advance all around.
Subsequently, profit taking and week

out the gains. Prices closed unsettled at

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps are the most democratic of
investments and America expects ev-
cry American to show love Of repub-
lican institutions by investing in this
democratic security. The aggregate
amount of the investments and the
number of investors in these war saw
ings securities are in a way the ans
wer oof the people of this great de-
mocracy to the call of the cause of
democracy throughout the world and
the vindication of civilization and hu
manity.
They afford every person, however
humble and however small his means,
the opportunity to contribute his part,
to do his bit, in this great struggle
against the military masters of Ger
many who seek to dominate the world
in contempt of justice and right and
