WAR Is NOT YET

CAPTAIN VlNT
Liberty Bond Sales Must Be

Victory

The fact that Bulgaria Is out of
the war does not mean that we have
Germany defeated It is a mistake
to underestimate the strength of
the Boche. He is resourceful; and
while he will ultimately be badly
whipped he is not whipped yet. For
that reason the man who at this
time says that he does not need ~
buy Liberty Bonds because the war
is practically over is virtually giving
aid and comfort to the enemy"
That is what Captain Vint, of the
British artillery, said this morning
at Liberty Loan headquarters.
He declared that America must
come through" on the fourth loan
as it did on the first three. re
pointed to the fact that all the ex-
perts agree that the war is not over
by a great deal. Not one of the
trained analysts believes the war
can end before late fall of 1919.
That being the case the United
States cannot afford to "lie down"
at this time.
This war must be so conclusively
ended" said Captain Vint, that the

tanning the hearts and strength
ening the arms of the nations
opposing Germany in the pres

their cause is right and Just and
in harmony witr the will of the
Supreme Ruler of the universe;
and
Whereas, prayer Is the most
effective agency for vitalizing
that spiritual power among the
peoples OF the allied nations,
making it virile, dynamic force
fortifying and upbuilding the
morals of soldiers and civilians;
and
Whereas, the Rotary Club of
Harrisburg has endorsed the
movement for a WAR Angelus,"

of whistles to join in supplica-
ton for Divine assistance in the
attainment of our war aims, the
safety of our soldiers and sailors
and an early peace in accord

ment and fair-dealfng among
the nations;
Now. therefore, I, Daniel J..
Keister. mayor of the city of

during the period of the war at
a given signal. that one minute
thereafter shall be set aside for
silent prayer. in which every pa
triotic, iiverty-loving, God-fear-
ing citizen should join.

American regiments fighting In
the Hindcnburg line along this
sector of the front have seen
some of the hardest fighting of
the war. Ono Brooklyn rcgi-
ment took and retOok posi-
ton known rs the "knolF' three
times. The battle swung back
and forth with the men so close
TO each other that rifle butts
were Just as effective as any
thing else.
On the first assault the Amer
leans mot masses of machine
guns, which were camoutlaged
nnd held their fire until the
Americans were close upon
them. One nest after another
was silenccd. and the Americans
plunged ON.
With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Wednesday, Oct. 2.
American units reached the Kriem-
hild-Steelung line at one point yes
terday. having broken through the
principal zone of resistance. Just
south of Brieulles, they advanced to
spot where they established actual
contact with this famous enemy sys-
tenn.
The Kriemhild-Stee system
was begun last year before the
Americans became an active factor
in the war. It is not as strong as the
famous Hindenburg line. but never
theless, has heavily fortified posi-
tions.
AS it is the last enemy defense
system between the Americans and
the Meuse where it flows north TO
Mezieres, n stubborn effort to hold
it may be anticipated and the dltfi-
Guilty of carrying this system is not
underrated by the Americans.
Heavy Artillery Fire
Violent artillery firing developed
along the center of the American
line between the Meuse and the
Aisne yesterday.
All along the line fighting was re-
stricted principally to patrol actions.
The enemy expected a heavy attack
and to that fact is attributed his
heavy artillery fire. At various
points minor infantry clashes occur
red, both sides using machine guns.
At one point the Germans su'-
ceeded in getting airplanes across
the line. Smoke bombs were drop
ped, indicating American position to
the enemy gunners. One of the en-
emy machines was brought down by
antiaircraft guns, while pursuit
planes accounted for 9th hers. One
American aviator who was attacked
by seven Fokkers fought his way out,
bringing down one of the enemy ma
chimes.
Yanl<s Take Many Guns
In the Argonne forest fighting con-
tinues. Machine gunners were left
behind by the Germans to defend the
main body.
Much booty has fallen into the
hands of the Americans, including an
electric power station at Varennes.
also are utilizing miles of
telephone wire and some central ex-
change material abandoned intact by
the retiring enemy.
The latest summary of the mater
ial captured shows 120 guns of all
calibers; $50 trench mortars; 800
machine guns: 100 antitank guns:
thousands of shells and hundreds of
thousands of small arm ammunition
East Of Verdun and about Douau-
mont there was a heavy shell fire
by the enemy. In a minor
engagement in the Woevre sector
forces captured thirty
prisoners.
