AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC I I We entered the refining busings only 'after the most careful investigations. 1 and we associated with us three of the best posted oil operators in the United : States. We have j. laced ample resources ' behind this business, and have adopted ' she most conservative policies. I hae personally talked 10 some of ;he executives of the largest companies in tne oil industry, and they have told me that with the policies we have inaugur ated in this company, cwi with the good. business judgment we propose la use. we cannot help but make a great success ! 01 tne MuacoaKcr on ana neiinuis v .'- 1 pany. I Tou may probably w onder why we J come to ou with an offer to join us. 1 rather than finance this thins ourselves. J for the very reason that Uncle Sam I comes to you to finance the war. because he does not hae sufficient cash j capital to do it himself. Do you realize that the majority of the stocks of such j enterprises as the railroads, United i Slates Steel Corporation. Standard Oil ' Com par. v. the great independent oil : companies, .ind the S'.u if baker Corporafi. f South l;r.d are owned by the rublic. and it is their support c:reraI ! which has made these corporations the ,..,,,. t,. ,-.4 oomorations the! success thev are today? . 1.1 U'JU I W I I1 I I.

This is an advertising value which is worth millions of dollars, and the only way to Kct this asset is to distribute the ownership of the business i among thousands of :nve tors all over! i the country. J We have entered an industry which is ; encouraged by the government, because our people need the oil and gasoline. J There win be a shortage of over a mil- j lion barrels of crude oil this year. The government has just opened 6,000.00'" i acres of reserved land in the west fori tho development of oil. There is- no I better business which you can Imagine In then to get behind the production and lefir.lng of more oil to help defeat the Huns. The Studebaker Oil and Refining Company has tangible assets of $ l.SOO.cno. We have under consideration other producing properties and five refineries, to the value cf more than $15,000,000. The company proposes to shortly install a chain of ?,.udebai:er' distributing stations, extended across the continent, fed by trains of "St ud' baker" tank cars and tank 'rucks. This service is tremendously profitable, and is practically In its infancy today. We will say to all who join us in this en'erprise that it matters not whether you have invested with us Jioo or $10.fOO. you will get fair treatment and value received on your investment.

CHARGE Accuses Reporter of Being Slacker When Such Is Farthest From Truth. At Liberty Hall last night City Attorney vi". W. McMahon made a personal and unwarranted attack during the course of his remarks on Harold Cross, a reporter for The Times, for which he has been roundly criticized by many who heard it. McMahon said that "Young Cross was hiding behind the skirts of a woman to keep out of the army." The attack on Cross was brutal. He has a wife and two babies and another little one coming with absolutely noother support or income than that proj virled by his earnings They are abso lutely dependent on him. Mr. Cross has no desire or intention io fvade military service. He expects to go in the class to which th government has seen fit to assign him and would be glad to go sooner if able to make proper provision for his family. The remarks o,f the city attorney last evening were a reflection on every man in the draft who has a wife and children and is in Class 4. If it were not for the fact that it is an insult to hundreds of Hammond men it would not be worth replying to. 'rtic war work of Cross in Hammond and his war actKities have been varied and laborious. Indeed few men in Hammond have been more necessary in war work than he has in this vicinity. At least Cross is not wanted for child desertion. On April 12. 131S. an affidavit was filed by Blanche McMahon. charging James Donald McMahon. son of the present city attorney, with failure to support his children. The warrant was issued by the state and bond fixed at $1,000. "Toung" McMahon must have sklpred for the warrant has rot been served as yet, according to the court records.

Entire German Right Flank Is Perilled, Hun Viihdrawal Not Unexpected. By FRED FERGUSON (United Press Star; Correspondent.) WITH THE AMERICAN j ARMY, July 19. Ameri can troops co-operating with the French in the drive between the Marne and the Aisne already are within sight of Soissons. Latest reports received at headquarters indicate that the Fran co-American attack is progressing satisfactorily along the whole front. ADVANCE IS SAPID. German prisoners known to have been captured number 3,300. More than fifty enemy cannon have been captured. The advance has been so rapid that regimental headquarters have found it necessary to move forward. Some moved as many as three times. This has made it difficult for couriers to follow. BOCHn WITH DK AW Ala POESIBIaE. The drive already is seriously threatening the German right flankin the Marne salient and holds possibility of forcing a great enemy withdrawal. Success of the present operation has been the means of adverting any immediate danger to Paris. The drive is rapidly exposing great concentrations o enemy reserves and artillery. It is a question whether the Germans will be able to organize those or will have to withdraw them. EESEEVES TO ATTACK. The American reserves recelvtagr orders to move to the front at 5 p. m. commandeered tracks and arrived within marching- distance about midnight. They began tbelr hike without delay and reached the front only a short time he. fore rero hour when they gro over the top. When they advanced and started chasing: the Germans they were apparenlty as fresh as ever. Many of tn German were at rest or eeetlng shelter from the rain when the allies drove forward. The American observed no meal time. DRIVE NOT INTEEHUPTED. The drive was maintained wlthont interruption up to noon when the Trench and Americans halted briefly to reorganize. They then swept forward again, advancing: farther than. In their first rush. French cavalry la the afternoon aided the Americans in clearing; the captured vlllagrea. Franco-Americans sur. rounded and captured entire German batteries, including: the artillery of an entire division. The Americans carried their full pack of thirty pounds on their hacks. Most of our units did not bother with machine gum. It was a straight Job of rifles, bayonets and grenades. Ths Americans worked their way through fields and woods, captnring: prisoners which later became a hindrance and were sent to the rear as rapidly as pos. siblo. BATTLE INCREASING IN FORCE. When other Infantry men were sent forward in support they carried up machine guns. These were followed by field gruns and then by heavy artillery. The battle is increasing' In Intensity on the whole front from the Aisne to the Marne as this is cabled. The Americans and French are driving: forward In an extended advance from Soissons to Chateau Thierry from three to ten miles east of the original line. The Germans, aided by great numbers of reserves, made a heavy counter attach on the plateau southwest of Sols, son.-. It was repulsed. GEEAT TKANSPOET SYSTEM. Americans and French In that region are continuing- to hold the line They es. tabUsbed yesterday evening or are advancing westward. Cavalry already have pushed across tho Soissons rosd and the Infantry is driving forward to Join them. Uncounted prisoners, guns and material are still being gathered.
