Washington, June 10. Lightless
nights, which were suspended under
the daylight savings plan until Sept.
1, may be resumed.
Fuel Administrator Garfield said he
had learned that many electric signs
were turned on in daytime and If such
abuses continued he would have to
again put the ban on signs, probably
with restrictions even more stringent
than they were before.

London, June 10.-In the region
northwest of Chateau Thierry, Amer
leans, operating in conjunction with
French troops on their left, continue
on the offensive without pause.
The Americans gains of Thursday
morning have been extended, so that
their advance now is recorded on a
front of six miles to a depth of two
and one-half miles.
The marines, who have won great
praise for their valiant fighting, con-
tinue to inflict severe defeats on the
enemy
Battling over a front from Vinly,
which lies to the northwest Of Veuilly
la Poterie, to Bouresches, the Ameri-
cans and French have captured the
towns of veuilly la Poterie and Bou-
resches and also made progress all
along the front. Torcy has fallen into
the hands of the Americans.
Marines, Outnumbered, Press on.
Nowhere on this battle line have the
Germans been able to stay the efforts
Of the Allied troops, although they
have fought with great tenacity.
The marines everywhere have de-
clined to take backward step, going
forward against the enemy, even when
he had superior ) II numbers. Close
pressed, the mar,nes have given the
Germans a taste of cold steel. even in
the face of machine gun fire; sur
rounded, they have fought their way
through the gray-coated lines with the
bayonets.
The losses to the enemy thus far
are declared to have been extremely
heavy and the terrain they have lost
is considered of high strategic value
inasmuch as it Is on that part of the
battle front through which the Ger
mans have hoped to crush their way
forward and attain an open road to
Paris.
The casualties of the enemy were
particularly severe during the street
fighting in Bouresches, where the
Americans pushed him back step by
step.
Advance Exceeds American Plans.
The plans of the American command
did not include the capture of Torcy
but, when the marines reached ths
objective assigned to them, their ar
dor for battle could not be restrained
and they kept on until the village
was in their hands. Twenty-Five oi
the marines drove out 200 Germans
from Torcy.
Hard held on the other sectors
from scissors to Chateau Thierry
the Germans, after heavy lombard
ments, have essayed attacks on the
Marne from near Rheims. These at
tacks were illstarred, and the enemy
had to accept defeat. A French at
tack at Bligny resulted In that village
falling into their hands In Its entirety
On the other battle fronts there ia
slight activity aside from lombard
ments and patrol encounters.

MONEY MUST GO TO THE FRONT.

This war is to go on to a finish. That
is the pledge Of the American people
made and signed and sealed with a
common purpose and at universal
demand from the people of the United
states. It is the definite agreement
between America and her allies. We
have proclaimed and covenanted that
America is in the war to the last dol
lar and the last man.
It takes men and money to wage
war. 1t is idle now to argue the
wretched waste Of war in men and
money. We are in war and must 60
on to its final conclusion. We are go
ing on. There is no argument permits
sible on that phase Of the question.
We must win peace to have peace.

here and there for few months, but
if the war goes on time comes when
every man who can walk and carry a
gun must go to the colors and fight
for the very life of his country his

war goes on long enough, every dollar

In time of war, when the very life

on bloody fields, money has no choice
between courage and cowardice. Every
dollar must fight or be classed as
traitor and put in the outlaw list.
Remember these things. The nation
has a right to take absolutely every
dollar of property in the United States
for the life and death war against
tyranny, autocracy, slavery and for
egn aggression and vassalage. But
the nation does not intend to exercise
that final and desperate right. No!
