Germans Must Reform Line " In Champaigne' and rioftnwest of Verdun the Germans have sensed to the full the seriousness of the situa tion facing them where further ad vances by the French and the Ameri cans of necessity will compel the read justment of the line from the north to the Swiss frontier. Large numbers of . reinforcements have been throvm into the battle in Champagne to halt the advance of the French toward the important junction town of Vouziers, but nevertheless General : Gouraud's men have pressed forward northward from the region east of Rheims to the northern fringe of the Argonne forest, taking many positions of the highest strtegic value.

(0MMTf1lfl" LETTERS from our boys in the trenches and from the women in canteen and other war work, all bring to us , the same mes sage -SEND US NEWS FROM HOME. World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting as President of the Home Paper Service of America to give the boys what they are calling for. Every community is joining the movement. Let us see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can 5 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. Every cent received will be used to send this paper to our boys at the front. If at the end of the war, there is any surplus, it will be turned over to the local Red Cross Committee'. . There is no profit in this to the publisher even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the . high rate of postage on, papers erittoJFrance. , our cost will scarcely be covered by our full subscription price. Remember that over in France, some brave soldier or sailor from this town perhaps even some splendid woman, working within sound of the guns is depending on you to "KEEP THE HOME LOVE KINDLED." They are calling to YOU from "Over' There GIVE WHAT YOU CAN . WILL YOU HELP OUR COYS ABROAD? Every Man, Woman and Child Can Join to Send News of This Town Into the Front Line Trenches. WHOLE NATION MOVES TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are Calling From Over There Give What You Can to Help Those From Home. Every citizen Interested In the boys of his home town now at the front, and In the brave women who equally are serving their country abroad, has an opportunity to show his appreciation of the sacrifice they are making. The opportunity comes as a result Of the generosity and thought of Colonel Wil liam Boyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and put Into execu tion what is known as the Home Pa per Service. Under the plan, every man and wo man in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept in constant touch with the places and the people they know and love. Every branch of the United States Government is Interested in the plan. The Government realizes the Impor tance of keeping those In the service happy and constantly In touch with their home ties and associations. Noth ing, Is more depressing in a national emergency than the spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and of ficials know that nothing can dispel this feeling more effectually, than read ing the home town newspaper. Publishers of newspapers In an parts of the country this newspaper inchid- jed Jiaye. grasped with, sleagure the plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, and they have agreed to cO-operate in every way. Under the ruling of the War Indus tries Board newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers. The newspaper must be subscribed for in the regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were In the employ of the newspaper and who left that serv ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there fore proposes that the public in each community contribute to a fund so that the home newspaper (in our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now In the service of his coun try. Anyone may contribute to the fund, and any sum may be contributed. It Is not necessary to contribute the entire amount of one subscription. It does not matter whether the rich man sends In one hundred dollars or the poor boy or little girl sends in five cents. Each gift will be a message of love and help fulness to the home town folks "Over There." The money will be lumped Into one fund, out of which subscrip tions will be entered as fast as the money Is received. Contributors who send in the full price of a year's subscription may, If they wish, designate to what particular person they wish the newspaper sent, but if the name given is already listed as receiving the paper, then the pub lisher reserves the right to apply the subscription to some less fortunate sol dier boy or noble woman who Is just as lonely for news of home and home folks. The name of every contributor to this home paper service will be pub lished in this newspaper, and the name ) of everyone entered for a subscription will be published as well as the num ber of those remaining whose subscrip tions have not been covered. If the amount of money received shall be more than is necessary to send the paper to every person from the town now in the service, then the bal ance will be turned over to the Red Cross. ' The plan Is endorsed by the pub lisher of this newspaper without any thought of profit, either directly or In directly, but with a sincere desire to help keep the home fires burning and to send to our. heroes and. heroines Radcliffe People Promise A Pro gram of Merit; WakerUp-Am- ; erica Is Underlying Theme ; Special War Talk By Lieut.

The publisher, . of course, cannot make a profit on circulation, and addi tional circulation such as this will be circulation from non-purchasers sent far across the sea--can have no added value to the advertiser. These facts are stated so that every contributor may feel that every cent contributed goes to the good cause. - The mothers of our boys are facing an ordeal with a bravery that com mands respect and admiration.
