FAMILY PLEDGE MUST Be True STATEMENT
Family Heads Urged to Make Accurate Reports
Of faniiy's Support to War SAVINGS Cause

State headquarters for Wa1
Savings calls attention to the
fact that the Family Wal
Savings pledge that give1
by the head Of the family fol
himself and the dependent
members of his fanily-must
be a true statement as to the
number of War Savings
Stamps bought by members,
and particularly a. to number
they will pledge themselves
to buy during the remainder
Of the year. The father, or
housekI lder, will be called on
to make this pledge during
the week Os June 1928, and
he is urged to canvas the
members Of his family before
that time TO know how many
stamps they own and how
many they jiltend to purchase
by December 3lst, He should
know this that he may repre~
sent them fairly in the pledge
ne makes for them.
AS the pledge made by the
head of the family will be-
come a record of history of
this great war, State Head
quarters emphasizes the im-
portance Of this pledge being
an accurate representation Of
the tamiIy'S support to The
War Savings Campaign. Ii
calls attention to the fact
that it becomes a permanent
record Gf the service the fans
lily rende to this call of the
Government, and that after
it is made nothing has the
power to change it. 1t
would warn against the tens
dency Of family heads to un-
dHrestir,ate the Importance
Of this request Of the Governs
mrnt al d to pledge too little
to the cause, an amount that
would unt be representative
Of the family's ability to save
aud lend to the Government,
nor their Willingness to serve
their Country at this inper-
ative hour. It advises that
every family take time before
making tie pledge to consid-
er, fr:J W h;l1 it owes to the
soldiers now in the heat of
battle fighting and dying,
and seco4d, what would their
mo :ey bu worth to them if
Gei many should win the war.

the Austrian casualties t 2M
600 men. Iu addition lii
enemy lost large stores OF
munitions and supplies and
many guns.
Apparently the sudden
torrent in the Plane, which
played havoc with Austrian
communication, fell as quick
as it ROSE and the river bed
was dry when the A aatriau
retreat began. This enktled
the enemy to get many Of his
troOIs across, otherwise his
Losses would have been much
greater.
Vienna blames the weather
aud high water in the river
fer the retirement and gives
no credit to the stout italians

him back to the stream.

Paris, Sept. 17.-Many deep think
ers see in Austria s peace move one Of
the cleverest bunco games the central
empires have yet conspired together
to spring ON the allies. They believe the
whole thing amounts to little more
than conceited move BY Emperors

tinuation Of the war on the allies and
leading the dispirited Tentonic troops
to believe they must keep on the fight.
however sick of the war, in order to
defend their homes from invasion by
Jealous and covetous enemies. =
They hope the allies win see the tran
before they plant their foot in IT, as
they have done more than once before.
Germany and Austria are heartily
sick of the war. Their leaders realize
that it they are to get past the winter
without dire trouble something desper-
ate must be done Immediately. Gener-
al Won Ludendorff, in a secret ordery
declares the troops already are talking
of revolution after the war, and
means Of aecumulating ammunition for
such use.
German statesmen openly hint at
danger to the dynasty itself. The pub
lie is already murmuring because it
was deceived by promises Of world dom
nation, If it would only back up the
military PARTY for a "fibal offens-
i've" which, when loosed in March, re-
suited ultimately in the biggest dsas-
ter yet visited on Germany.
Evidence points toward all Germany
and Austria rising to their feet and
crying to the kaiser: Look what your
dreams Of conquest brought to usl"
The interior situation in Germany
and Austria is extremely critical. A
peace move is most imperative. Not
that it will bring peace. They hope the
allies will indulge in fire-brandish talk
of wiping the central empires off the
face of the map before talking peace
this to be plastered nation wide, with
the notice:
You see we want peace, but the al
lies scorn our offers; nothing remains
for us but to fight, unless you want
