Airplanes having located the bat ries whose gas shells have caused x deaths and the poisoning of ghty others, the heavy guns in the meriean line quickly destroyed the lemy positions. The Germans are >lieved to have suffered casualties iring the bombardment. Along the Chemin des Dames, meriean machine guns and artillerv ■e repulsed a strong enemy attack Ith losses. A heavy barrage fire preceded the erman attack on the Chemin des ames. As the enemy advanced icy were met by a hail of machine in bullets and then came a deluge shells. The Germans returned istily. Five French soldiers were ounded in the fighting, but there ere no American casualties. This etor also has been subjected to erman gas attacks, which, howev were not as effective as on the ■ctor east of St. Mihiel. On the British and French fronts lere has been no change.

Lend your support to President Wilson. He is our lead er and we must stand by him. There are 75,000,000 bushels of wheat needed for the people abroad. You must get it there within the next six weeks. You are a poor lot of patriots, and poor citizens if you do not put your whole heart in this work. If we do not lick the Kaiser he is likely to come over here and run the railroads himself."
