Showing Wars Privations.

In such sorely pressed neutral coun-
hles as Sweden the war has resulted
in rich and poor alike being subjected
TO many restrictions heretofore I'M
known. An illustration OF this--nOt
without its humorous aspects found
In a Swedish wedding invitation re-
Gently received in the United States
by friends Of the bride ana bridegroom.
The latter were members Of two
wealthy families in Stockholm, and the
handsomely engraved misslye included
an invitation to a banquet at one Of
the finest hotels in the Swedish capital.
1t was in n notation at the bottom
page that the hand Of war manifested
itself. In these words: please bring
your bread cards. This meant, OF
course, that well-to-do hosts at we'd
ding could not provide their guests
with bread. except in restricted
amounts and IN the manner prescribed
by law--pOpuar Mechanics Magazine.

We Would Not Have 1t Otherwise

Winning the war is the one big
job that confronts every man,
woman and child in America.
Everything else must be sacri-
feed to that one great end.
Hudson has for some time
been devoting part of its large
factory to war work, and while
the decision to go on a 100 per
cent basis affects no one more
seriously than the Hudson deal
er, it commands only our heart
lest approval.
Under present circumstances
we would not have it otherwise.
We rejoice that the Hudson
factory can and will play its part
in carrying the banners of lib
erty forward to victory.
Our hope is that this move
may exercise the greatest pos
sible influence in bringing the
world struggle to a prompt and
triumphal close for Democracy.
SO far as we are concerned we
are proud to bear our share Of
the sacrifice.

Although the manufacture of

We know it is no longer neces-

DUEL BY AMERICANS
 AND GERMANS ALONG
 THE vERDUN SECTOR
Fighting Ragged All Day Sat- urday-Germans Again :.
 Use Internal Gas.

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 19 (By The Associated Press. .,5-G P. M.)-The enemy augmented his already strenu- ous resistance against the American advance by heavy artillery action to- day.
 This was responded to in kind, so that duel of big guns was in pro- gress all along the line. The German guns were active during the night especially east where roads in the rear of the front lines were shelled intermittently. One huge gun fired several times at Fort Douauhont was found to be mounted on a railroad carl
 Fighting ragged all days in Loges wood, the northern part of which the Germans had succeeded in penetrat- ing again because fthe withdrawal of the American troops last night on account of the gas in the woods.
 Despite his opposition the enemy wa sdriven;9 back everywhere and could only retaliate with harassing artillery fire of the American lines and systems of communication.
 Beyond the Grand Pre- and Loges fighting activity was chiefly confin- ed to patrolling. 4n
 Increasing evidences were found that the enemy intends to withdraw to the new Freya-Steelung position, a few kilometers northwest since the Kriemhilde line is menaced by Amer ican occupation of Bantheville wood.
 The German resistance. however, continues stiffer in this section than at any point on the western front. owing to it's being the key to an arch which must be held if the whole is not to fall.
 The Germans early this morning launched a counter attack upon the American positions in La Grande Montague. The attack was repulsed.
 The German infantry attack was preced by heavy artillery fire.
 The Germans this morning contin- ued their harassing fire east of the river Mouse.
 This morning American patrol air planes engaged in fourteen com- bats. The aviators reported that six German machines had been brought down within the German lines.
 During the raid the pursuit air planes engaged in 35 combats and of the dozen German machines brought down two fell behind the American lines. noe German machine was set on fire. Another enemy airplane was smashed to the groud. the pilot and machine gunner saving themselves by parachutes. They were captured by

Running Full Speed.

In the center of the front today the Germans were retreating so fast that contact, if secured at all, was on- ly between advanced patrols and small groups of the enemy.
 On the Hanks, however there has been hard fighting. In Belgium the allies have been engaged in severe encounters.
 Nevertheless they have gained ad- ditional miles of ground.
 In the area north and south of Le Cateau furious fighting is repohted, and the Americans have again distin- guished themselves.
 By dark last night they had pene- trated to a depth of two miles: today they made further progress against strong opposition. The Germans here had orders to hold the line at all costs and the Americans and British had literally to hack their way through. :. The enemy divisions have been we'll whipped and from prisoners it is learned that no reserves are back of them because retirement in this sec tion of the line is expected to take place as soon as the other divisions to the north get far enough back.

Would Not Estimate.

How far the tital will run above the six billion dollar goal officias woud not attempt to estimate { to- night.
 It all depends they said, on wheth- ] CT big financial interests at the last moment file the big lump sum sub- scriptions expected of them, and whether the number of smaller sub- scriptions by individuals is found to meet expectations
 Last Grand Rush. New subscriptions entered the last day, and those made effective by pay ment of the ten percent installment. probably will amount to billion and half dollars for the entire nation. it was said. Before business opened this morning $4,599, ,719, ,450, had been reported to federal reserve banks.
 For the next five days banks in every city and town in the United States will be busy adding up sub scriptions. Reports and payments must be made to federal reserve banks, which are expected to take at least five days more to report to the treasury.
 Twenty Million Subscribed.
 Indications are that the number of individual subscribers will far ex- ceed 20,000,O0O and break all records for distribution of war bonds for eith- CT this nation or any other.
 The honor roll of bond buyers will include many who have not partici- pated in the first, second or third lib- erty loans, officials said.
 It will bear the names of subjects of other governments neutral and belli- gerent throughout the world.

Recognizes SlOvaks.

In note written yesterday and made public today the president, in effect, says there can be no talk of 3eace with the Austro Hungarian government except upon the basis of complete liberty for Czecho-Slovaks and other subject nationalities as free members of the family of nations.
 He refuses4to entertain the Austro Hungarian suggestion for this reason, without discussing the military ques- tions dealt with in the reply to Ger many
 A Previous Agreement.
 The Vienna government asked for negotiations on the basis of the pre- vious agreement of peace mention ing the speech of Ian. 8 last, in which the President said the peoples of Austro Hungary should be accorded the freest opportunity for authnom- ous development. The reply says this is impossible; that the Czecho-Slovak national council has been recognized las de facto belligerent government, the justice of the nationalistic aspira- tlons Of the Jugo-Slavs has been SSo6" "AAVu 0IIU IIIcIc duIOlOIuy uO longer can be accepted.
