the allied lines.
Some progress obviously was
made by the German offensive
along the front extending about
200 miles eastward from the FORCES

obligation bonds. They further
deny the claim of opponents
that revenue bonds are not
burdens or the public. pointing
out they are paid off through
higher rates charged con-
sumers.
THE adoption OF this amend
ment will not stop the PUD from
legitimate expansion, nor impose
new or unusual restrictions on

PUD financing and purchases out
before the public for examination. "

Germans Cautious

The German high command again
limited itself TO a general state
ment that operations were continu-
ing successfully south of the i'm
portant Aisne-Oise river canal,
where the Nazis were striking at
scissors. Paris dispatches sad
repeated strong German attacks
IN that sector had been thrown
back with huge losses.
Aerial attacks continued heavy
on both sides. with the Germans
reporting that Dover harbor and
various air fields in Britain, as
well as the big French port of
Cherbourg, had been bombed.
Allied planes blasted at German
communications and supply lines,
starting many big fires.
The Germans had to fight
fiercely every mile of the way and
the crossing OF the Somme and
Bresle was under a murderous ar-
tillery and machine-gun barrage
laid down by the British
The drive along the coast
brought German advance positions

Seine, which flows through Paris.
The allies claimed that elsewhere
along the Somme front their lines
held despite sharp German thrusts.
On the eastern end of the front.
German troops attacked one of
the strongest points in the allied
lines defending Paris.
