MERCHANTS DECIDE UPON BIG MERCHANDISING

The annual bargain day is an assured
success from the fact that the people
Of Salem and the surrounding country
are willing to buy when special bargains
are offered and when these specials are
offered by all the leading merchants of
the city, nothing can keep the people
from taking advantage Of the offer
ings.
Another thing that will tend to make
this second bargain day greater event
than one year ago is the upward ten
deuey of all kinds Of goods. The house
wife knows that d v,ods arc going
higher and higher and everything in the

any bargains are offered in these lines.
she appreciates them.
In clothing, home furnishings, hard.
ware, notions and in fact in every line
of merchandise the story is the same
There just ism t chance of prices get

cent chance Of prices going radically up.

United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlted PreSS starr correspondent
With the British Armies in France,
June S.-Hindenburg's third offensive
is at a standstill. When and where hi
will begin his fourth is the question oc.
cupying the allied commanders.
German prisoners all reflect the gen.
eral opinion on the enemy side Of the
line that for Germany it is a question
Of "do or de-" Nobody can listen to
their talk without realizing the utter
folly of considering that the great Of
fensive has spent itself.
Despite the colossal number of troops
SO far flung aginst the allies, the most
desperate blows are ahead.
In 1917 the kaiser had on the west
front 1873 German divisions (l,538,000
mem and in Russia, the Balkans and
Rumania, II divisions (924,0O0 mem.
Since March 21 Hindenburg has actual.

There are now between the North sea
and Switzerland more than two hund.
red divisions (2,400,0O0 men) and it is
estimated that there are slightly under
thirty five divisions 100000 men) still
on the east front.
This shows that Hindenburg, some
how, has increased the number of his
divisions by nearly forty divisions

The Americans advance adds anoth-
er chapter to the accomplishments of
our troops, which are paying the role
of General Gallieni s famous "taxicap
army" in this second battle of the
Marne.
The official report of the command
ing general reveals the feat is fully
as impressive as first reported.
Receiving orders to move from the
region of Gisors at five p. m. ON May
30, they departed by rail and motor
truck. At $50. a. m. the next day the
first cf them had arrived in the rear
lines.
Gisors is an important railway june
ton 35 miles north of Paris and rs
miles west of Cha.eau-Thierry in an

way probably was more than 100 miles
Late that afternoon the situation
was most critical. The French urged
that the Americans be sent into the
line Immediately, as the enemy was
marching along the road to Paris.
