BAD news FOR BERLIN.

The war news from the eastern
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portray lhe
gloom that overhangs the people in
the large cities That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed is not to be doubt
ed.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers of
the preceding loans have their share
in the success of the entente allies.
They furnished the sinews of war not
only to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equipt, and
send our soldiers over, not only to
supply them and our allies with food
and munitions, but more than $4,000
600, 900 of their money has been Joan
ed to our allies so that they may
prosecute the war with vigor and
strength.
We here at home have an oppul-
tunity to send the Germans some
more bad news. The Gern,ans have
great respect for money; they know
its vital value in wagng war. They
know, too, that the support the Amer
lean people given Government loan
measures largely the support they
glre tier Government, the moral as
acll as the ida1 al support then give

A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as
defeat for them ON thu battle field,
and it will mean as much. II spells
their defeat; it breaks their lao,ale
it means power to their enemies. A
subscription to the loan is cantri-
button to German defeat and Amer
lean victory.

HINDENBURG FEELING OUT
ALLIED BATTLE LINES
Makes Local Attacks in Effort to
Learn Strength.

CReview Lv Associated PresS.)
In Flanders and Picardy there still
are no indications that the Germans
are ready to resume infantry opera
tions on large scale. Local enemy
attacks, probably for the purpose OF
feeling out" the allied position in
advance of big attack, have been
repulsed north of KENNEL and south
of Albert.
On the southern battlefield the
German effort was made on front
of one mile near Morlancourt be
tween the Somme and Ancre rivers
but was not pushed strongly. The
enemy gained an initial success and
penetrated the British lines at one
point, being repulSed elsewhere. A
counter attack BY Australian troops
finally restored the British position.
Enemy Loses Hill.
The attack north OF KENNEL was
against the French on Hill ~ and
adjoining elements. The enemy
gained the hill which dominates the
surrounding region, but Field Mar
shall Haig reports they were re-
pulsed finally.
Almost a week has gone by since
the Germans displayed any marked
infantry activity, and while the at

Considerable activity is reported
to be going on behind the German
lines in the region of Montdidier,
where the Americans hold a part of
the allied line. French batteries have
broken up German troop concentra-
tions and conveys around Mont

lery fire along the American zones
in Picardy and northwest OF Toul
has been below normal.
In the Italian theater the artillery
firing is more lively, especially in the
Trentino and on the mountain from
Lake Garda to the Piave. Italian
troops in Monte Como have re-
pulsed further Austrian attempts to
regain the summit of the heights.
