 for BeI8iaDS

Everykind of garments for all ages and both sexes is urgently needed by the Red Cross which is endeavoring to collect 5000 tons of surplus clothing for the destitute men, women and children behind the German line of steel.
 The can is sounded for the public to ransack it's closets and turn over to the Red Cross that portion of their wardrobes which they do not need themselves It does not matter if garments are in need of repair as a hundred thousand women in the oc- cupied regions are eager to earn a Livelihood however inadequate, by re- pairing gift clothing and making new garments adapted to the needs with which they are familiar.
 Not only may America feel sure that she is saving untold suffering when she contributes clothing, the Red Cross says In a statement today, 'fbut she may understand now that the repair work which must be done will provide thousands of women with the wherewithal to buy food
 Piece goods-light, warm canton flannel other kinds of cloth will prove serviceable. From this cloth garments for new born babies ticking sheering and blankets, woolen goods of any kind, and shoes of every size are ask ed for. Scrap leather is needed for repairing footwear.
 Garments of strong materials are wanted as they will be subjected to the hardest kind of wear. Flimsy gar ments, high heeled slippers, silk hats, straw hats and derbies, which were donated in large quantities in the last clothing drive, will not be accepted, Such articles would be of no use
 The public is asked not to con- tribute any articles containing rubber, a material which is very highly prized by Germany whose supply long since has been virtually depleted Rubber heels easily can be removed from shoes before sending them to the Red Cross.

Abe Bayer Tells of Admiration of

Mrs. M. Bayer of East Main street has received letter from her son, Private A. H. Bayer, in which he says that the Americans are chasing the Germans back to their early war ground. His letter follows:
 Dear Mother:
 1T do not know what news you are receiving at home about the war. probably more than we are, but we have the daily editions of the Chica- go Tribune, the New York Herald, and the Daily Mail. They are all printed in Paris. Each day our boys assisted by the French are chasing the Germans back to their damnable country, back over their early battle grounds. The Americans and French are like brothers and the French gen. eral told the French to go ahead as far and as fast as the Americans and believe me, they are going at a ter rife pace. The French say that the Americans are brave soldiers, that they are always hungry and thirsty, but good soldiers.
 We are the envy of the French soldiers We seem to them to be millionaires, for they receive but five cents a day. The way the Americans spend their money opens the eyes of the French, and they call us petit bank. They never saw so much money in all their lives. When the Americans finish with this country it will be almost worth living in They have bettered the sanitary conditions, built bridges and roads, and intro duced American methods and 1nge- nuity.

AMERICANS MOVE
TOWARD GERMANY
WITH ADVANCE GUARDS OUT
ARMY FOLLOWS RETREATlNG
GERMAN ARMY.
SOLDIERS SHOW NO EMOTION
Precautions Taken To Prevent Traps
Engineers Hunt For Mines
and Test Water To Prevent
Poisoning.

With the American Army in France.
General Pershings forces moved
forward early in the morning in terri
tory just abandoned by the German
troops. On the old line between Mol
zon and Thiacourt, lying from the re-
gion of Sedan to the south of Metz,
the troops had been stationed to await
orders for the advance and at $3.50
in the morning the patrols marched
out, not in line of battle, but in col
umns, along the high roads, which
are only slightly injured.
The first steps of the Americans
into regions so lately controlled Dy
Germany were not spectacular. The
men were keyed up and keen for the
new adventure, but, like they were
on tn day of the signing of the arms
tice, there were comparatively no
demonstrative, manifestations of their
enthusiasm.
Many of the men had been newly
uniformed and all Of them were pol
ished," as though for inspection. The
men appeared eager for the word to
go forward.
When the command finally was
given for the advance the elements
who were to push forward, in some
cases miles apart on the long line be-
tween the right and left, moved off
into the mists that appear always TO
shroud this part Of the country, and
disappeared.
For the first time since the Ameri-
cans started to advance into enemy
held territory there was assurance
that they would encounter no hos
tility.
No chances were taken, however.
Thesengineers were the second units
to press forward and they carefully
began heir work of looking out for
mines and tainted water. Every OBJ.
stacle was tested before it was NOV
ed, in order to find out if 1t masked
explosives. For some time the Ger
mans have shown a spirit of co-opera-
ton in informing the Americans
where mines were located and in
themselves destroying them.
