Poorest People
After. The War.
. . . "-"it ; ' -V.- '
(From W. S.S. Bulletin.)
The poorest of poor people after the
war will be those who will not only have
nothing coming to them from the Gov
ernment, by way of redeeming' War-Savings
Certificates and receiving pay for
Liberty Bonds, but who will have also no
record of any service rendered the coun
try toward the winning of the war. There
are going to be such people, many of
them, who made money during the war
and who spent it as fast as they made it
satisfying their own personal desires.
Are YOU one of this number? Buy a
W. S. S. or Liberty Bond today!

READ THE RECORD
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-General
Pershing in his report tonight says :
One American company belonging to a
division which is operating with the French
in the Champagne, assisted by some vol
unteers from a French division, took an
enemy machine gun nest this morning
near St Etienne.
As a result of this operation they cap
tured four officers, a 9 men, 75 mackin.
guns and a number of trench mortars
and a large new tractor, without them
selves suffering a single casualty.
By EDWIN L JAMES.
Copyrit 1918, by The New Yorl Time Com
pany. Special Cable to The New York
Times Company.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Oct. 6-The fighting
since early this morning is character
terized as perhaps the bitterest the
Americans have yet seen. It is gruel-
15S?V--ul"tryins 8htinff the
heroics and sensationalism taken out.
The best troops Germany has have
been hurled without success against
our lines. These shock troops are
working independently of the heavy
concentration of other troops that are
blocking our advance with the heaviest
concentration of machine guns war
has seen.
An official report says that on one
stretch of the front the Germans have
a machine gun for every five yards of
the line. The German concentration
of artillery also is ponderous, the guns
being grouped fa masses in a zone two
and a hall milts deep. The short
fronr between the Argonne and the
meuse is the one most vital to the
whole line. An advance by the Ameri
cans to any great depth would imperil
tfhe whole east wing of the German
salient stretching from the sea to the
Mosselle rfver.
Breathes there a red-blooded man or woman who is willing nt t
buy a bond or buy mort bondi to support these boys, who cannot fight with
out the things Liberty Loans provide ?
Read the daily record tkc re are the Arguments, if any be needed. .
How can any man be woithy if he does not do his utmost to sustain boys
like that?
