IMPERATIVE CALL FOR
RED CROSS NURSES

Surgeon General Gorgas, United
States Army, must have $4,000
nuruses for the Army alone. 1t is
the duty of the American Red Cross
to supply them.
He must have, 5000 of these
nurses at once.
The needs of the Navy must also
be met.
Do You Realize:
That the well-being of the fight
ing army depends upon the size and
efficiency of the nursing army?
That in this call General Gorgas
seeks to conserve the health and
lives of our boys-the health and
life of your. own boy?
This Call is Imperative.
The Nurse-Must Be the Volunteer.
SHE is the only woman who will
share the hardships, the dangers and
the privations at the front.
SHE it is who must give all, even
her life, if necessary, for your boy.
SHE it is who must stand in the
place of mother, wife or sisters when
he is burning with fever or shatter-
ed by shell.
SHE it is who must be you to him
at his sick-bed and at his death-bed.
SHE it is who will catch the last
whispered message to you.
For information regarding this
work, apply to Miss Mary E. Hill,
Chairman of Nurses Bureau, Abbe-
vile Chapter American Red Cross.

Enemy in Retreat From
Montello Plateau to :.
Adriatic.
OF KARL
TRY TO FORD PIAVE
With Pontoon Bridges Swept Away
Escape Without Further Heavy
Losses Seems Remote.

The first phase of the Austrian Of
fensive has ended in failure-in de-
feat. The elimination of what was
intended to be the crushing of Italy
between the jaws of the Austrian
pincers is the rout of the invaders
themselves.
With their backs to the swollen
Piave River the Austrians for sever
al days past have been trying to
ward off the vicious counterattacks
of the Italians and save the situa-
alton. Now they are endeavoring,
and still under great, pressure, to
ford the stream and reach safety.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic the enemy is in retreat. AL
ready his losses are estimated at
100000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional haevy
casualties seem remote. Large num-
bers of the pontoon bridges that
the Austrians threw across the
Piave have been swept away by the
torrential stream and on all the Sec
tors of the 33 mile front where
they gained edges of the Venetian
plain they are being sorely har-
rassed by the fire of the Italian
guns.
Plans for Offensive.
Monster preparations have been
made by the Austrians for what was
to be the death blow to King Vic
tor Emmanuel's men. Thousands
upon thousands of men, many Of
them brought from the Russian and
Roumanian fronts, and guns and
stores of tremendous quantities had
been parcelled among the various
commanders for the drive vore
battle arc of virtually 100 miles.

FRIEND OF UNCLE SAM.

Charlie Wilson, a young boy re-
siding at the Abbeville Cotton Mill,
has purchased twenty-five dollars
worth of War Savings Stamps, and
has pledged himself to purchase ten
dollars more in December. Charles

caught a clearer vision of the line
of duty than many men of two and
three times his age.

REACHING CONCLUSIONS.

Many letters from our soldiers in
France are being published in the
different papers over the State and
from them it is easy to draw this
conclusion: That France is a
beautiful country and we'll worth
the fight, that the very flower of this
good land is in the fight, and that
every man seems willing to take his
share and play the game. but does
not wish his home people to fret or
worry about him.

WhittQH Rugs

No rugs made in America compare
with WhittalPs in quality, design
and coloring. These are facts rec
ognized where Whittall Rugs are
known, and you have only to see
these beautiful floor coverings to
grow as enthusiastic in their praise
as we have, been since we began to
feature them. All Whittall designs
are faithful reproductions of the
choicest orientals. The yarns used
are all imported from the orient,
and the best vegetable dyes only
make their fast colors, which are
as durable as possible to produce.
