WOULD TABOO RAISING
PET POULTRY AS HOBBY

Raising poultry for the purpose of
conserving food for the boys in the
trenches instead of raising them as
a hobby, and how to feed them in
order TO obtain the best results,
were the subjects discussed by A. L.
Devall of the Albert Dickinson Feed
Co. of Chicago before the South
Bend Poultry and Pet Stock asso-
citation Wednesday night at the city
hall. Mr.. Devalls talk was informal
and was we'll received by the asso-
citation. He warned the members
not to kill off their chickens be-
cause they became an expense. but
to keep them for the food value of
the eggs. He stated that every per-
son who had back yard should
have a flock OF chickens and thus
do his part in conserving other
foods for the lighting man. He then
followed with a scientific descrip-
ton of the diseases and causes of
diseases of chickens and how best
to remedy them.

A PROCLAMATION
BY the President of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make 1t clearer what the, end must be
and what we must do to achieve it.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what su-
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us in this
fateful year a peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it Il day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States OF
America, do appoint Saturday, the 10Th
day. of October. 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day / request the citizens of
>'SAS community VI tHS olllltu SUITES,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commem-
orative addresses, pageants. harvest
home festivals, or other demOnstra-
tions should be arranged for in every
neighborhOOd under the general direc-
tion Of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-or era
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thOrities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure Of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
Its discovery until now, and Of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose Of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
Of the federal government throughout
the country whose. services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 10Th day Of October, for the entire
day. .,
In witness whereof, I-have hereunto

GERMANS VAIN EFFORT TO
BELITTLE AMERICAN POWER.
Poster Widely Circulated In Xaiser's
Empire, and Reproduced in This
Country, Shows Morale Of Huns Is
Being Shattered,

A poster recently issued by the i'm
perial German government i'm an effort
to belittle the participation of America
In the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text Of
one of the most striking pieces Of litera-
ture that the bureau of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the Forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The title Of the poster Is "Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
WARP" Integral sections Of it attempt
to convince the reader that Americas s
army cannot take the place Of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war, and that the U.boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean. A French
poster also Is reproduced I'm the Ger
man poster and the meaning so twisted
as to make II appear that France is
very badly In need Of food.
Two millions Of the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
In various parts Of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier Is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands In his overcoat pockets, indica-
tive Of the fact that he Is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in
his right hand. In his left hand Uncle
Sam carries banner which bears the
inscription, "America threatens to
send transport Of one-half million men.
But 1t cannot ship them!" Below
Uncle Sam are these words: 1T Is
impossible for America to train and
fit out In time for the European war a
suitable and sufficiently large army
and provide II with the necessary re-
endorsements" The catchline of this
section Of the poster Is "Russia's army
of millions could not down Germany"
and on the skirt of the Russian SOL
tiier's overcOat are printed these
words: Russia used up altogether
fifteen million men In vain!"

ATTACK ON FRONT
OF TWENTY MILES
AMERICANS ADVANCE SEVEN
MILES IN SECTOR NORTH
WEST OF vERDUN.
FRENCH TROOPS COOPERATE
General Pershins Reports Capture Of
Twelve Towns and More Than
5000 Prisoners In Initial
Operation.

London, Sept. 27.-American troops
nave taken over new sector in
France and in conjunction with the
French have forced the Germans on
the defensive on still another battle
front. -.
The gauge of battle has been thrown
on 40-mile front extending from the
Suippe river in. Champagne, Is miles
east of Rheims, eastward through the
Argonne forest to the Meuse river,
northwest of Verdun.
In the first stages of the battle the
Allied lines were pushed forward for
material gains-that portion immedi-
ately northwest of Verdun held by the
Americans to depth of seven miles
and that of the French to the west
nearly four miles at certain points.
Under the terrific bombardment pre-
ceding the commencement of the bat
tie the Germans hurriedly quit numer-
Gus positions, and into these the
Americans and French went unim-
peded. At last accounts the Allied
attack was progressing favorably.
Many French villages and German
strong points had been captured.
Entire Front May Be Shaken.
Taken in conjunction with the Allied
offensive, which has materially bent
back the German front in Flanders,
Artois and Picardy and along the
Aisne, the new drive of Marshal Fochi
In the south will bear important fruit
II It meets with success. .,..t :.
Driving northward the entire west
ern battle front would be shaken and
Of necessity be compelled to readjust
itself. Lateral railway lines of great
Importance to the German positions
between Laon and Verdun lie directly
in the path of the advancing Franco
American forces.
VouZieres, an important railway
junction on the main line from Laon
70 Metz, is but IL miles north Of
Servon, which already is in the hands
Of the French.
The Americans, through the capture
Of Gerocourt, northwest of Verdun are
in the Meuse valley, which leads north
ward to Sedan, and a little farther
west at Varennes, have won the Aire
valley, which winds in a northwest
srly direction to Vouziers. A success
tul advance along these two valleys
Tor any appreciable distance would be
disastrous to the German lines from
the North sea to the Swiss frontier.
Northwest of Verdun, Montfaucen,
German strong point of great re-
sisting power is said to be in Ameri.
can hands, as likewise are several
other villages between the Meuse and
the Aire.
Around st. Quentin, both the British
and French armies have made further
advances against the Germans and re.
pulsed heavy counter attacks. In
Flanders and also near Arras the
British have advanced their fronts.
