New Rules Adopted
Effective AT Once

This newspaper has always com
tributed literally to everything thas
has come up. We have made cast
donations to every movement inau
gurated in the city. Especially ha
this been true of all patriotic move
ments. Our space is the same to d
as -four and sugar is to your grocery
man. Our people have no more right
to expect us to give our space than
they have to expect the groceryman
to give his flour and sugar. We have
been liberal, considering our limited
means, and for this reason we are
forced to adopt certain rules here
after by which we will be enabled Ia
realize something for the space II
our newspaper, and this applies
both The Daily and Weekly Sun.
In the future we will make
charge of 1c a word for all notecia
calling attention to entertainments
ice cream suppers, district meetings
school entertainments, etc. With tho
increased expenses falling upon Us
daily, this step has been absolutely
necessary. The rate announced is
most reasonable one, and by counting
the words in the notice before It e
sent to the office you can tell jus
what it will cost.
We will also be forced to adop
the cash in advance rure on this class
of work, as it would be unsatisfac
tory to have to open up accounts fos
such small amounts.
We hope that we have made IL
clear to everyone and that we may
not be embarrassed or be forced "a
embarrass anyone hereafter by de-
handing pay for these notices that
should have been paid for all these
years.

Germans Planning
To Move Troops
Further Back
By J. w. T. MASON,
United Press UWar Expert.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-There are
indications that the Germans do not
intend to halt their retreat perma-
nently along the Hindenburg line,
but are planning to move still fur
ther eastward for the purpose of
shortening their front and securing
additional men for their new reserve
armies.
Marshal Foch's continual hammer
ing is sadly interfering with Won
Hindenburg's prearranged retire
ment. Won Hindenburg must send
back his slow-moving, heavy artil-
lery before the infantry can retreat,
yet by doing so he robs his infantry
of adequate artillery protection
against the allies attacks. This is
one of the reasons for the extraordi-
narily small losses being suffered by
the allies.
In reality, Won Hindenburg is now
| fighting gigantic rear-guard action.
His retirement is foregone conclu-
sion because there is no other way
for Germany to concentrate her
man-power to defend the Rhine
against Americas Forthcoming often
sive.
But, the paradox arises that by at
lacking the Germans through inces-
SAINT local drives, Marshal Foch is ac-
tually retarding the maximum speed
of retirement of which Won linden
burg is capable,
This action by Marshal Foch, how
ever, makes Won Hindenburg's retreat
a far more perilous enterprise than it
would otherwise be. Not only are
extensive stores of ammunitions and
large numbers of prisoners falling
into the allies hands, but also the
possibility is always present that
during the German retirement Mar
shall Foch may be able at some point
to break through the German lines.
The danger Of break through is
now occupying the major attention
of the German general staff. 1t ac-
counts largely for the slow faltering
steps to the rear, and for the logged
back to the wall fighting now char
acteristic of the German retirement.
Won Hindenburg is certainly losing
more men by these operations than
the allies, but he cannot help himself.
The war has seen many kinds of re-
tirements. None, however, has been
like the one now engaging Won Hin
denburg's attention.
