Huns Attack at Daybreak.

A concentrated artillery fire on the
American position in the St. Mfhiel
sector began Saturday morning. 1t was
resumed with increased vigor just be-
fore midnight and continued interInit-
tently until nearly daybreak. The Ger
mans then laid down barrage and
leaped over the parapets and reached
the American front line trenches closely
behind the barrage.
At this moment the American infan-
try burst from their shelters. attacking
the enemy with grenades and bayonet.
The struggle continued back and
forth for some time but over most of
the front involved the American troops
were completely victorious, as was evil

troops.

general wrote in his report to the
French army headquarters.
The doctors in the front line dressing
stations reported today that several
Americans who were slightly wounded
refused medical treatment until the
Germans had been driven back to their
trenches. One man with a slight wound
in his hand who was ordered to the
rear later was found, according to the
surgeons. lighting like a tiger" in the

fact he was supposed to be where he
was solely for medical relief purposes.
Two German fighting planes were
shot down this morning inside the
American lines by Leuts. A. S. Wins
low of Chicago and Douglas Campbell
Of California. Each man downed one
machine. Both the enemy aviators were
made prisoner. One Of them was slight
ly wounded.
The machines, which formed part of
a patrol of five aircraft, were brought
down after a six-minute engagement.
One of the enemy machines fell in
flames, but the other was only slightly
damaged. 1t is believed that Lieut..
Campbell is the first graduate of q
strictly American school to bring down
an enemy machine.
The American aviators were encamp-
ed when the enemy machines were sig
nailed as crossing the line. Fifteen
minutes later they sighted the enemy
machines and Immediately engaged
them.
Both the captured machines were
placed on exhibition in the public
square of a town behind the American
lines, where they were viewed by

down congratulated the Americans on
their beautiful exploit"

Lured Germans to Defeat.

The enemy front lines had been de-
stroyed by shell fire. and during Fri
days attack the Americans temporarily
abandoned their own front line, allow
ed the Germans to enter 1t and then
forced them to engage in hand-to-hand
fighting in the open, in which tho
American troops greatly excelled.
This attack, which was the longest
and largest scale operation conducted
against the American troops since the
entry Of the United States into the wal,
has developed many deeds OF Individual
bravery and heroism. A young lieu.
tenant, whose home is Just outside Of
Boston, with three enlisted mon at
tackled nineteen Germans who had PEN
etrated into one Of the American
trenches.
The lieutenant called on the Germans
to surrender one Of them raised his

upon which the others lifted their
hands high in the cir and yelled
'.KameradY' The lieutenant marched
the prisoners into the rear Of our line
and then returned to the front and re-
sumed the command Of his platoon.
Five other Americans penetrated into
a German dugout, WHARF twelve Of the

resisted surrender. but our men threw
grenades into tho dugout, killing four
Of the Germans. The others quickly

When Hanniba's army was en-
camped In front OF Rome the citizens
OF the Eternal City held an auction
the earliest sale OF real estate by that
method on rec0rd-and showed patri-
otic confidence In the future Of their
country by bidding high prices for the
ground occupied by the Carthsgenian
cohorts. The same undaunted spirit
prevails In France today. Absolutely
confident Of driving the Germans from
their soil, the people OF that indomita-
bic nation are now beginning the gi-
ganttc task Of restoring the wrecks
made by war and preparing for the
various exigencies by which they will
be confronted when peace is declared.

Uncle Sam is now making further
demands Of the farmers, with q view
to next years returns. He Is urging
that they increase their production Of
i've stock, especially Of cattle and
hogs. The reason Is that several OF
our principal allies have almost ceased
to produce on these lines. In Great
Britain, France, italy and Belgium
there are now 100000 fewer head
OF cattle, sheep and hogs than at the
beginning Of the war. Meanwhile the
decrease In all other countries has
amounted to more than 92, 900. 900 head
"a total shrinkage in meat animals
alone Of 115,O0O,OO0 head. SO the
farmer must not weary In well-doing,
but must continue In 1913 the place
he set for himself In 1917, says st.
Joseph (Mo.) News-Press. And mean-

~ to preserve and extend moral and
religious Influences and standards, will
amount, after q weeks campaign, to
over $5O,OOO,000, and that other great

fully for the same moral ends. And
another emphasis is laid upon this i'm

PLANE EVERY 81, MINUTES.

Somewhere in America there has
been erected q one story building de-
voted to the construction Of airplanes,
which, so far as we know, Is the great
est structure Of Its kind in existence,

reaches 900 feet in one direction and
1900 feet or say, quarter Of mile.
In the other direction, and the whole
Of this area is covered by single roof
and constitutes, except for fire parti.
tion wall. single shop. The layout
of the plant upon this vast floor space
has been so arranged that the raw ma
terials, in the shape Of sawn spruce,
brought here mainly from the forests
Of Oregon, enter the building at one
end, and the finished planes leave 1t
at the other end-the material moving
from stage to stage and from machine
to machine as the work proceeds. Now,
IL the supply of motors keeps the pace
with the output of planes, when the
! factory is being run to It's full capac.
/ fty, this will mean that complete
airplane could be wheeled out of the
factory and take flight In the air. ev-
cry nine and half minutes of an
eight-hour day. In this building Is
enough lumber to lay plank one inch
thick and twelve inches wide from
Boston to point 200 miles west Of
Omaha, Neb. Furthermore, the brick
employed In this one story building
would be sufficient to build a wall II
inches thick entirely around the Wool
worth building up to a height Of 800
feet.

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING.

Evidences are accumulating that
the habit of saving among the Am
erican people, especially among the
patrons of savings banks and postal
savings, is outstripping the financial
demands made upon them by the gov
ernment.
While no exact figures are avail
able at present, it is known that pos
tai savings deposits have steadily
gained during the year 1917, and
notably since the 1st of July Of that
year, which was after the first issue
Of the Liberty Loan.
The reports from savings banks
also show a steady gain, and the same
is true of cooperative building and
loan associations.
Nor have the people of small means
been the only savers. 1t is estimated
that the savings Of the whole people
OF the United States, ordinarily $5,-
900. 100000 to $6,000,0 200 annu-
ally, were in creased to fourteen to
fifteen billions in 1917.
The response of the people to the
national need of ECONOMY and saving
has been general and generous.

TO get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their

The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender

nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
blood remedy, made from roots

has been used for more than

from the blood the Catarrh
