There are very few Amer icans but who can buy at least -one bond. The banks will lend the money on the easiest terms. These bonds can be bought on such easy terms that a fellow without a dollar ahead can buy at least one. Boys and girls can arid should buy them now, for this may be the last opportunity they may have to buy a United States bond in. the open market.

They must be brought home, the sick and wounded cared for and the millions of expenses met by the American peo ple. During the next two days this1 matter is going to be laid at the door of every man, of every home and bus iness house. During the few remaining hours this solemn duty is going to be laid at the feet of every man in Rowan county. What is going to be our answer? Who wants to be responsible for this great, rich nation falling down on a job of this character? Who wants the responsibil ity of a failure, or any part of the blame ? The future of America is stake. ' Our solemn duty and blessed privilege is to buy Bonds and buy them now, today, without a moment's delay bought you say buy again, and more liber ally. Ask your banker how he can help you meet this sol emn obligation. Ask your self if you have done your full duty "by these men these two million men in Europe. This telephone campaign Friday will be intense and will be the last call for .bonds to be made on such a scale.

In Flanders the allies have Brained important new successes, while, from f the Oise to the Meuse allied pressure is being maintained strongly. In the angel north of Laon the Germans are retiring from between the Oise and the Fere rivers. Since the beginning of the week there has been little heavy fighting in the area southeast of Cambral where the British and Americans made such rapid strides last week af ter the capture of CamJbrai. The Germans resisted strongly on ! the line of the Selle and it is these ' defenses that the British and probably j the Americans under the same com mand are assaulting. To the south of Bohain on the southern end of the attacking front the French troops are reported in con tact with the Germans along the whole Oise-Ferre front. This undoubtedly means the Germans are retiring from the awkward angle between the two rivers in a continuation of the with dawal movement from the Laon massif. On a front of more than 30 miles in Flanders the Belgians," French and British continue to push forward vig orously. Courtrai and Thourout, im portant railway junctions on the flank of the attacking front, have fallen to the Belgians and British. In the cen ter the French have taken Lichter velde and Ardoye. Oourtria is pro bably the most important of all the rail centers feeding the Lille area.
