How Would You Like Soldier Standing in

Little Ruth Fonter, living at 1407 Maple avenue, a 14-year-old freshman at Garfield high school, has written the following essay on "Why We Should l!uy Liberty Bonds." "We should buy Liberty Bonds because our country needs our money to

carry on this war. When our country called for men did they shirk? No. If they had we might have been under the German rule,today. Must we shirk to lend our dollars to the great task that the boys over there ar« giving their lives so gallantly lor? "What would we say If the boys only took one trench when they easily could have taken two? What would tbcy «ay If they knew that some of us were hoarding our money and not helping th'-rn out?

FRANCE, Sept. 28.—The Americans, operating before LeCatelet on the right of Gen. Byng's army, attacked at 5 o'clock tijis morning. They aire undertaking what is probably the most Important contribution they have yet made to the British efTorts.

Following their attack yesterday, the Americans faced the Hthdenburg line on a wldo sector. They were separated from the principal line of that famous system of defenses by about 600 yards of broken and difficult ground.

Yanks Improve Positions.

Yesterday's .fighting advanced the American line an average depth of a thousand yards, greatly improving their position and cleaning up Intervening stretches of trench works.

The new line which the Americans desired to reach, extends from a point enst of TTonnecourt, three miles north of LeCatelet, a point southwest of Bellicourt, the same distance to the southward Of LeCatelet. The latter village lies midway between Cambral and St. Quentin. It not only is an important railway and highway Center, but is one of the most strongly defended points In this part of the front.

Tn driving forward yesterday, the Americans experienced comparatively little difficulty in reaching their objectives on 'the southern part of the front under attack. In the northern part, however, thoy engaged in a pitched battle that lasted all day.

The Germans retreated when tho Americans ftrst reached «.hem, but reorganized and swept back across the canal, forcing tho Americans into their original positions.

The Tanks stiffened, then came on, attacking again and again, and shoving the Germans before them. They finally drove the boches out of the desired positions and held tight, spending the night in strengthening them and preparing for today's kick-off.

The Americans took JBft prisoners. Including 12 offierrs, In yesterday's fighting. The attack was not exactly a surprise, as the Germans had been busy strengthening their trenches and destroying bridges across the canal for several days.

ON WIDE FRONT.

Splendid Activities of Americans Make Possibly Successes, of Week. XL'VV YORK, Sept- 2S.—For the first time since the war began this week has seen the development of simultaneous allied attacks along the west front, from the Belgian coast to the ierm in boundary, threatening Von Hindeaburg's armies la front, rear and flank.

After four years of conflict the Ideal development of allied strategy has only just been attained. It has been made possible solely because of tho splendid activities of the American armies.

In consequence of Marshal Foch's policy of concerted drives, the kaiser has now begun to pass within the rim

of the shadow that Is destined to obliterate hits and his militarists. Pershing Perils Meuse.

General Pershing's operations this week north of Verdun are promising to give America possession of the famous Meuse line, which the Gerraajis have sought to reserve as their ultimate limit of retirement from western France. While Von Hindenbtirg clings to western France the Americans are advancing in the German rear down the Meuse.

In two days' fighting General Pershing has seized over five miles of the Meuse line north of tho former allied front in the Verdun sector. Thirtyfive miles farther north the Meuse line reaches Sedan and then turns westward to Me/.ieres fortress and passes into Belgium.

Twelve miles beyond the advsnctng Americans la the town of Stenay, which is one of General Pershing's major objectives. Stenay commands the croKHing of the Meuse where it is intersected by the great military highway running from German territory into Fmnce. It, was along this rood that the German crowti prince led the first German armies which invaded France in 1014.

German Retreat Checked. With Stanay In American possession, the Meuse line of defense will have been made Jneffective for Von Ilindenburg at its mo^st Important sector. At the same tim0, the German way of retreat out of France through Luxemburg, will bo closed. North of the Stenay high road Is the difficult Ardennes Massif, through which a rapid retirement without heavy losses is impossible. Von Hlndenburg thereafter would have to make his return to Germany by way of Lille and Namur, in Belgium, which does not afford sufficient freedom of movement for a large force hurriedly retiring.

Today's Belgian attack at tho other end of the west front contains a dangerous threat against the German submarine bases at Ostend and Zeebrngge. If Von Hlndenburg usen his reserves to defend these ports of egress for the U-boats, he will be compelled to decrease his allotment of troops for the kaiser's new army, which is to defend the Rhine. If. however, preparations for protecting the Rhine are given priority of consideration, Ostend and Zoebruggo will fall, and the German submarine campaign will be seriously handicapped.

Therefore, only German ports far to the north of Belgium and much less accessible, can be used by the piratical craft.

Any Jmr.h lessening of «mhmarfne activity will certainly produce a further decline of morale among the German people. From these predicaments, and of those to come, there can henceforth be no escape for the kaiser.

TO AID WAE FETOT.
