War Review

While awaiting heavy re-enforce-
ments Of big guns before resuming
their drive against Amiens, Hinden-
burg Is battling away with his in
fantry against the British left GEN.
ter between the Somme and Ayette.
Haig reported heavy fighting ev-
erywhere along that 2o-mile front.
yesterday and last night, with re-
sumption of the attack this morn
ing.
A United Press dispatch from
Simms describing this fighting told
of an attempt by the enemy to
storm the e7nbankment of the Am
iens-Albert railway southwest of
the latter city with a force of 72,-
900 men, This particular thrust
centered around Deruacourt, two
miles south of Albert, and probably
extended to the south of Morlan-
court which is four miles north of
the Somme and about midway be-
tween that river and Albert. This
fighting was continuing when Simms
filed his cable today. It was this
very railway embankment which
Sinms yesterday declared the Brit
ish hoped the Germans would at
tempt to storm as Ha1g is unusual
ly strong there.
Haig reported that in the fighting
south of the Somme the British i'm
proved their positions by counter
attacks. The French statement de-
scribed violent artillery duels in
this region but no infantry com
bats. Henry wofod in describing
the cannonading said that while
such a bombardment usually pre-
cedes an attack the Germans evil
IDENTIFY plan vastly greater artil-
lery concentration before risking the
drive on Amiens.
In their offensive against Andens
the Germans have approached with

east il Is indicated by Simms' dis
patch. He indicated also tney are
holding wedge between Avre and
the Luce north of MoreuiI and east
of the ridge referred to-and an
other between the Luce and Somme.
Indications are that the Germans
are preparing second offensive
elsewhere for which the French
have taken adequate measures.
Following the decision OF the
American government regarding the
use of it's troops the French general
STAFF declared the U. S. forces win
make their weight felt.

WARN AGAINST
OVER CONFIDENCE

From the Indiana State Liberty
Loan headquarters the following
warning to the citizens of Indiana,
was issued today;
There has grown mp in Indiana in
the last forty-eight hours such
spirit Of enthusiasm concerning the
successful outcome OF the Third Lib
erty Loan allotment to this state,
that conditions In many counties are
pointing most dangerously toward
overconfidence.
There could be no greater public
misfortune in the present Liberty
Loan situation than to see a saEging
condition just now take the place of
tho splendid organizattonaI determi-
nation to noat Indiana's aiiotment
and heavy oversubscription. such
a letting down is exactly what
agents of the kaiser in Indiana are
playing for.
1.-THE other states OF tho Seventh
federal reserve district, it is known,
are expecting a tremendous surprise
from the Indiana organization. While
they do not know details of what this
state may do in this third financial
test OF patriotism, they do know that
Indiana Will spring a surprise tina
VIII compel each Of them TO make
unusual efforts to De good seconds
In the race.
This is no time to save EFFORTS,
either Of personal or organizational
character. The treasury department
of the United States has said that all
ovcrsubscriptions TO this loan will be
taken. That constitutes a direct
challenge to the determination of the
citizens OF Indiana to win this war
and win It now.
1.-THE machinery Is complete for the
Third Liberty Loan in Indiana This
IS no time to falter, because we may
think that the job already Is com
pleted. 1t is not completed! It is not
even started!
There is one man and one woman
In Indiana, who, by the use OF 100
per cent efficiency, can do this thing
and do It right. That one man is
youl That one woman Is youl"
