IN Press striking the German lines with a.
fury of onslaught that was not to be wlthstood,
the Allies Yesterday won victories seven diff

went to achieve the greatest single day of Allied
successes since the war began. In these attacks
Belpians British, French and Americans partici-
Dated With equal valor and with equal success, the
American forces playing highly important parts
in the day Of tremendous offensives.
Some of the outstanding results oi the victory
are that the Belgians have taken Dixnude, Pas

in two miles of Roulers the British are in the out
skirts Of Cambria on two sides of the city. The
fall of ST. Quentin is hastened the French have
reached the AiSette River at two points west OF
Chetnn des Danes ridge and have taken the high
est point Of the ridge which commands 1t for its
fall extent and the French and the Americans IN
Champagne have made further advances toward
their intended cutting Of communications with
Laon which is considered the keystone of the
enemy defense.
BELGIANS MAKE GREAT GAINS
On the northerly wing of the army the Belgians
hurled the foe back for several miles. With the
British on their right the Belgians attacked from
Ypres to Dxmude on a front of more than ten
miles. They captured the important railroad cen
ter and point OF communication, Dlxmude, and

further south they took Stadenburg, Passchen-

Last night this advance had taken them to within
less than two miles of Roulers the railroad center
and one Of the most important bases of supplies
for the enemy in Belgium, which the British once
approached and were unable to take.
In this advance the Allies have gained the high
ground before Roulers which commands the city
and places it under their guns. 1t was only after

the Belgians took Terreest heights which gives to
them this immense advantage for further future
operations Between Dixmude and Ypres the AL

the enemy was pressed back between four and FIVE
miles for practically the whole length OF the line.

Cardinal Gibbons Urges Public
to Acquire Habit of Thrift
BY Courtesy of the St. Louis Star

Cardinal Gibbons has issued a stirring appeal to the citizens
of America in the support of Thrift propaganda and War Savings
plan. The appeal was written in response to Robert Grain, War
Savings Director of Maryland, and was first published in the
Baltimore Sun.
The appeal is as follows:
To My Fellow Countrymen:
open for practically every man, woman and child by the sale of war
savings stamps. This is the most impressive thing about the move
nent which is being undertaken by tine National War Savings Com
mittee. There a be few people whose circumstances will not
permit them to buy at intervals the ascent thrift stamp, and with
each purchase gain step by step possession of the war savings
States are pledged to return SIS for what now costs $412.
Such a return being produced by the process Of compound in
terest carries the lesson of thrift in a practical and convincing way.
I earnestly commend to young and old, and more particularly to
parents, this simple and easy method of acquiring the habit of thrift
Many sorrows are avoided and much happiness is to be gained by
the timely application of the principles of thrift To the building
of character it brings profitable acquaintance with self-denial and
self-rcliance. 1t is a valuable aid to good citizenship and a blessing
that once properly grounded is a faithful companion through life.
We have reached a time in our national life when no loyal
luxuries. Such an expenditure resolves itself into a disloyal act.
Welcome indeed, therefore, is the opportunity offered through
the sale of these var savings stamps to promote the cultivation of
thrift and at the same time to serve ones country by lending to it
in such small sums the price of the first step-the ascent thrift
stamp.
Such is not only a privilege, but it is the clear duty of every
American citizen, young and old, I urge upon our clergy and our
schools to aid in every way in promoting thrift through the purchase
of wal savings stamps.
For the help it gives to our country's cause, for the good it
patriotic and practical mission to every nook and corner of the
nation.
Most faithfully yours,
(signed) j. CARD. GIBBONS.
