TALON of German infantrymen. The
Germans were getting into position to
attack group of American bridge
builders.
With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 7.-American troops are
holding to Fismes and all other gains
Notwithstanding terrific artillery ac-
ton by the Germans, and in the face
OF every opposition threw patrols
across the Vesle at several places.
French troops to their right and left
also calmly went about the compile
ton OF their plans and also moved pa
trolls across the river, the German ar
tillery failing to stop them.
In the capture of Fismes, American
troops took II guns. With their crews
these weapons had been left south of
the Vesle to enfilade an advance into
Fismes. Some of the artillerymen al
so were captured.
The Germans facing the Americans
along the Vesle increased the inten-
sity of the artillery fire late in the
day, bringing into action guns of 80
millimeter against the forces west of
Fismes. During the afternoon the
Germans employed flame projectors
from the slopes north of the Vesle,
where they appeared to be well organ
lied. Machine guns also were used
repeatedly.
The American lines also were sub
jected to a heavy fire from German
105s and late in the afternoon the en-
envy raked the hilltops with various
kinds of gas she'll. The big gun duel
soon became so violent that observa,
ton was difficult and maps had to be
used, the Americans picking out Ger
man positions observed during the day
The Germans shelled forests, cross
roads, highways, clumps of trees and
all other places where they thought
troops or supplies might be congre-
gated.
Germans Rob Civilians.
The Americans who captured Fismes
were members of the same organiza.
ton that occupied COulongeS, COhan
and Dravigny during the advance north
from the Marine.
At Cohan all the civilians left be.
hind in the French retreat last spring
were found in the village church. They
had been kept under guard there by
the Germans who occupied the village
All personal belongings of any value
were taken from the civilians by the
enemy. Most of the civilians were old
men, women and children.
American parties also crossed the
Vesle river west of Fismes. The mer
dashed over light bridges and some OF
them floundered directly through the
water, which was not very deep. The
river is only 20 to % feet wide.
The Germans have made strong eff,
forts to dislodge the Americans from
Fismes. For the time being that point
is the most active and noisiest along
the whole line The captors of Fismes
still at the apex and in the center OF
the line as they were during the great

1t is not convenient, you say, for
you to buy War Savings Stamps at

War Savings cause.
Even SO it was not convenient for
the boys to leave their homes, farms

WHERE DOES YOUR COUNTY STAND?
The Poorest County Will be That One Which Did Least to
Raise Its War Savings Quota.

Where does your county stand
Was it Il to raise it's quota of Wa
Savings pledges? Has it received its
War Savings honor flag, which signi.
ies that it has answered nobly the
call of its Government and can be
counted on at every call? If not, why
not? Are you satisfied with youI
county's record? Did you do your
part in signing the pledge and giving
your services to make your county
60 over in the drive?
Another opportunity is going to be
given your county and you to say
what you will do. Those who did too
little or pledged amounts too small
will be given a chance to save their
record. Many who have reconsidered
since they were called on weeks ago
Will want to make their pledges larger
and their services more liberal and
willing. Many since that time have
come to know the good investment
that War Savings Stamps offer and
they are willing to pledge themselves
to save more that they may invest
more in the best securities Oh earth.
Again, as a result Of the drive, many
people have come to realize for the
first tine that they owe their country
a debt of gratitude and service. They
will seek this opportunity to pay this
debt.
No individual, no township, no coun-
ty can afford not to pay it. None of
these can afford not to invest to the
utmost in War Savings Stamps, as a
mere selfish means of protection after
the a Then will money be scarce,
labor cheap, and prices high. The
county or the individual that has
made no provision for the future will
be more than unfortunate. The poor
est county as we'll as the poorest in.
dividual after the war will be that one
who made the least effort to buv it's
full quota of War Savings Stamps
and other securities offered by the
Government. Poor indeed will be the
MAI or county that will have no rsc-
ord of having served his country to
the point of sacrifice that it might win
the war, when all the history Of the
war Shall have been written.

\ German BayOnet


A German Bayonet
Three days ago l sent home, ad-
dressed to Dad. a German bayonet
which L think was worn by Ger
man non-commiSsioned officer. L
do not know it's history, but secur-
ed it from a French soldier, so that
l suppose that it was taken from
some Boche by a French soldier.
We are now living out in tents
(that is, part of the enlisted mem.
The tents at first sight look like
circus tents. They are oblong, have
red poles, but are as we'll made and
comfortable as any tents 1 have seen.
Each tent holds sixteen beds and in
each tent there are two electric
lights. L would much rather be out
in a tent now that warm weather
is here, for you can sleep better
and you don't disturb anyone if you
make a little noise. The tents are
British tropical hospital tents. They
have a fly. The tent proper is made
of red and yellow canvas, red out
side, so that there is no glare at all
inside the tent. We have about the
same bunch in the tent as was to-
gether in the squad room. We have
a victrola, board floors, and are now
all fixed to spend the summer out
here,
Plenty of Practice.
This afternoon there was a ball
game between the Hospital team and
team from the --th. Engineers,
who are located some miles from
here. 1t was a pretty good game,
but the final score was 10 to 8, in
favor of the Engineers. Our fell
lows get very little time to practice,
but we have a few pretty good play
/ 1iettal1U mako q fair
showing.
1 now have an assistant with my
X-ray work. Our work has gradual
| ly been increasing and we had to
have a fellow to take care of the
| Photographic work in case L got my
seven days leave. Consequently, |
will now do more of the operating,
that is the taking of the pictures
There is still considerable con-
struction work going on. Eventually
| the railroad will run right up to the
hospital, so that the patients can be
| taken directly from the trains to the
hospital. Lots of wards are being
built, but don't know exactly how
many thousand patients they are
planning to accommodate.
We have patients of all kinds,
some who have been injured or
'gased" at the front, some are taken
care of in the Psychopathic ward,
familiarly known as CA. AS for
mumps. measles, scarlet fever, etc,
we see them come in at times and
there are quite a few cases needing
! treatment for the eyes and ears.
There is usually separate ward for
each type of disease or trouble, so
that if it takes quite few men to
take care of the wards, as ward mas
ters and doctor or surgeon as the
head boss.
With love to all,
! Evan ]. Miller.
