Paris, Aug. 27.-
French troops have
captured the town of
Roye.

The capture of Roye has been ex-
pected almost hourly since the
French troops approached its out
skirts nearly two weeks ago. For
the past several days the French
have been holding their line about
the town on three sides. This morn
ing's advance from ST. Mard just a
mile from The western edge of the
city. and the only village or town
between the French advance and
Roye, evidently terminated the long
siege. the fall of the great GermaL
stronghold being reported but a few
hours later.
The capture OF Roye by the
French is expected to force read
jusJment of the German line run

scale.

vancing near Roye. the official

Between the Ailette and the
Aisne the French have repulsed
German counter attacks and have
advanced their line about three
quarters of a mile in the district
east OF Bagneux. This advance

scissors the Prussian guard has
not repeated its vain attacks
against the French.
Artillery bombardmentS continue

Foe Attacks Fail.
With the French Armies in
France. Monday, Aug. 27, tReut-
ers, Heavy German forces made
a desperate attempt to drive the
French from the heights between
Juvigny and Credy-au- Mont yester-
day. The attack was carried out
by the First guards division which
has been brought from the region
of Charlesville.
The French at first yielded lit
tie ground between POnt st. Mard
and Orme-Ce-M -Montecouye. They
then counter attacked, reestablish-
ed their former positions, made
slight advance and moved into the
Domaine wood.
Later in the evening the enemy
made a number of attacks on the
new French line but they were re-
pulsed in fighting Of the severest
character. The battlefield was COW
cred with German dead.

"From the moment of Americas
entrance into the World War, the

form and give" remarked Charles N.

of the Kissel truck.

"The all-year cab, which is pat

very popular demand upon the part
of truck owsers and users for pro-

diers have shown greater initiative
or harder fghting qualities, than the
citizens contributed by the state of
California. These men are going to
bring back that same force augmented
by a worldly experience. They have
the right to demand much of us, and
il behoves us moi 10 be short in our
response TO them. We must prove
to them that we have had the cour-
age 10 hold together our political and
commercial structure, so that they
may come back to as good, or better,
tam they left.
The minghng of tears of sympathy
and JOYOUS gratitude fill The need OF
the moment. But that time must come
when The prosaic necessities of life
will inlrude, and the hum of factories
will be JOYOUS music to ears atiuned
to the screaming of shells. We must
be able to lead each man TO his
particular niche in The community
that he may begin anew his life
where he left il off prepared TO make
the supreme sacrifice.
Let us bring forth our dollars and
spend them. Let us give The lie to
the vicious propaganda of depression
following the war Let US drive the
towards among capitalists from their
ambush and compel them TO establish
new industries, TO take the place of
those destroyed or weakened. Let US
augment and develop those instilu-
lions hat we now have for providing
employment. Let US moi tolerate
lowerinS the wage of the workinS
man because of his necessities. A
country running full blast is not wor-
ried about the cost of doing business.
Remember that You, Mr.. and Mrs.

the right 10 demand that production

government to provide IL with the
necessary artillery equipment of 75s,
one 55-millimeter howitzer and one
55- G.. P. F. guns from their own fac
tories for 80 divisions. The wisdom
of this course is fully demonstra ed
by the fact that, although we soon be-
ga nthe manufacture Of these classes
Of guns at home, there were no suns
of the calibers mentioned manufac-
turcd in America on our front at The
date the armistice was signed. The
only guns of these types produced al
home thus far received in France are
100 75-millimeter guns.
In aviation we were in the same
situation, and hsre again he French
government came 10 our aia until our
own aviation program should be under
way. We obtained from the French
the necessary planes for training our
personnel, and they have provided US
with a total of 2,676 pursuit, obsarva

airplanes received from home arrived

CALL ISSUED FOR SWEATERS
FIRST QUOTA is DUE.

Every sweater in our first quota
is due this week. Only about half
the number have been brought in.
New yarn for a second quota of 200
sweaters will be here this week. We
want our first quota finished and
shipped before the yarn for the Sec
Ond is distributed.
We can use more workers in our
surgical dressings room. Our work
goes more slowly with this quota as
the dressings require considerable
care. AS more and more of our men
are leaving for service, the interest
in the Red Cross should be greater
and greater. Would you want to
feel that a single soldiers life might
be lost because of lack of surgical
dressings?
Do your part and no such RESPONSE
bility can rest upon you.
