Announcement that American
troops had entered the allied line in
Picardy east Of Amiens was made
by the Paris war Office last Wednes-

hour.
After an interval Of silence, he re-
peated the performance at 5 o'clock
and half an hour later the German
infantry started for the American
lines. So intense was the American

The Germans have been stripping
the bodies Of the dead French sol
diers in other sectors, and, wearing
these clothes, have come over to the
point where the French and Ameri-
can lines join. This method OF at
tack was used during the attack on
the Americansat Apremont forest two
weeks ago. On that occasion they
spoke French and said they had
come to assist the Americans, but
the ruse was discovered and they
were driven off.

Large Crowd Hears Governor ut
SandStOne.-Rcd Cross
Has a Good Day.

That Pine County is proud of
our Governor and that Mr.. Burn
quist is the man of the hour in
this state was demonstrated at
Sandstone Saturday.
After being introduced by re-
preventative A. S. Larson Of
Sandstone. Mr.. Burnquist pro-
ceeded to deliver a short but
good patriotic address. He brief
" reviewed history and events
leading up to the present great
conflict. The Governor made it
plain that he has no use for that
kind Of people who live and en-
JOY freedom in America when
their sympathies or greatest love
and devotion is for another coun-
try. He said that if they do not
like America well enough to aid
in the successful prosecution Of
the war they should be interned
for the period Of the war and
when the great battle is over
be sent back to the country
which they like better than
America.
The ladies' of Sandstone are
certainly to be commended for
the manner in which they la
bored selling lunches, ice cream.
ETC., for the benefit Of the Red
Cross. Including the auction and
all other Red Cross benefits be-
tween $1.100 and $1,000 was

MAKE PLEDGES

Urging Minnesota citizens to
get behind pledge week for the
purchase of War Savings Stamps,
that opens June 9Th, Secretary
McAdoo today, in a letter. to
State Director Donald S. Culver,
gave definite reasons why the
Minnesota campaign is SO impor-
tant. Secretary McAdoo pointed
out the necessity of this state
raising it's quota Of $4,000, 900
and expressed confidence that,
like the Third Liberty Loan. Min
nesota would rate among the
very highest States in the am
cunt of Stamps to be purchased.
It is essential that the Amer
ican people economic and save
in order to make available to
their Government the money in
dispensably needed for the war
and to release supplies and labor
required for the production of
things necessary for our own mi
litary forces and for the mill
tary forces Of the nations, asso-
ciated with us. He wrote. "One
of the best methods Of bringing
about this result is for everyone
to pledge himself to economize
and save and to purchase, at de-
finite periods. specific amount
Of War Savings Stamps, thus
giving concrete evidence Of hir
support of the practice of War
Savings"
ITO achieve this object, there
will be conducted in Minnesota,
under the direction Of the Trea-
sury Department, a campaign
for pledges. eliminating on June
14th, when loyal citizens thruout
Minnesota will be asked to COM
NIT themselves to this program. =
The progress Of the war de-
mands constant and increasing
sacrifices. We are sending our
young manhood to represent us
on foreign battlefields, where
they are called upon to sacrifice

be seated on the throne and the
next day to be thrown on your
seat" Mr.. Johnson is at the pre-

tette entertained with several

THRIFT STAMPS NOT
FAVORED AS PREMIUMS

In reply to an inquiry, Shelley e.
Tracy, of the State War Savings COM
mittee, writes to ]. C. West of this
city as follows:
Muskogee, okla, March z, 1918.
There is no law prohibiting mer.
chant giving away Thrift Stamps
with sale, however, we are instruct
ed by Washington to discourage this
practice, since it will tend to cause
Thrift Stamps to be a medium Of
exchange, which, of course, is not
desired.
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps are provided to make it easy
for people to save and to invest their
savings in interest bearing govern
ment securities.
To serve in this cause would sug
gest that you secure stamps and sign
a sales agent application, if you have
not already done so.
TO use the stamps as a business
getter, you might offer to give each
baby born in Grady county a War
Savings certificate with a stamp at
tached or a Thrift Card with one or
more stamps attached, but would ad-
wise against using Thrift Stamps as
premium or trading stamp.
Very truly yours,
