"In the comine liberty loan drive," said the secretary, "the war avlnr- campairns should continue the'rVf forts In the formation of war savings societies, educational work in the schools and general thrift propaganda. Their actual selling or ganizations should, however, be combined and co-Tdinated with that of the liberty loan organization to the end that during this period sales of government securities, both liber ty "bonds and war salines stamps, should be made in the largest amounts possmie to earn mumuimi bnver, bnt the piircvha.se Of liberty loan bonds, rather than war savings stamns, should during this period. .hft the main object.

On Ihe other hand: there arr persons who are unable to buy liberty loan bonds and all these persons should he urged to buywar savings stamps.

March 26. Telegraph ing from British headquarters in France tonight Reuter's correspond ent says: "Never has the traditional quality of British steadfastness ben more wonderfully illustrated than now. Time and. time again troops have been overmatched and over-run by swarming legions and as often they have managed to emereo and regain their line. What would be regaided as consummate feats of skill in field maneuvers are ; being constantly performed in the grimmest struggle. "One of the most dramatic inci dents was when our most weary troops fighting hopeless odds and striving to prevent the Germans from securing a certain crossing of the Soranp., the French reinforc ments arrived and. without hesita tion, poured in amongst the British, infusing fresh vigor and saving the situation.

BIG BLOW EXPECTED FROM ALLIED ARMIES (Continued from page 1) try fighting is reported there. North of the Somme battlefield there have teen no engagements of significance. Oaln Made In Palestine. T?ie British troops in Pelestlne have capturedthe village of es-Sa?t in the hills lo the east of the Jordan and far in advance of the rest of th- line running west to the Mediter ranean.

An air of expectancy was apparent to nignt among American and other military officials here who are fol lowing most closely the develop ments or tne Dattle in France. Thev appeared to feel that a turning poinT in the terrific struggle was cIo.e a' hand. Press reiorts f-rom the Bn- ih front hinted at the same feeling there. j For the people of the United S ate- the announcement by the British au thoritles that American troons ar fighting side by side with French and British defenders brings the bat tie closer borne. War depa'rtmen officials had no word from General Pershing on the subject, but were ex . net-ting at any moment reports show Injr the extent of American i art el patlon. Attention Turn In Frn b. Attention enters here now on th French front rather than on the pr. rress made bv the Germans again the British l'ncs As tb batt'e pro ceeds. officers here are becomlti" more certain tht the defenders a carrvlng out definite plan of whh'H the British withdrawal a part, bn' which will prove soon to be conpl-1 with a iiOwerff counter-thrust. Th most probable place for the launch Ins nf such a movement, iff was thought, was from the flanking posi ton the Krenrh held tena-iousl v t nl;ht along the left bank of the Oise. Until General I'orshing reports ar to the. American forces en ga red no me here will hazard n guers con rerning the part they are playing.

S. Tank Attaelmu-tit lUisy. American tank detaclmients also have been at the British training tamps for months. American engi neers are officially r ported as Ij. the battle zone. It was regarded as "entirely possi ble, however, that American infants divisions already seasoned by front line experience In their own sector, had come tip with French reinforce ments. They would be! certain to operate wiUi...lhA!KniU as ; their equipment is largely French and they must be supplied with ammuni tion and replacements from tna French communication lines. Should this prove to be the ease, it is possible, officers here believe, that American troops will be with French units in an effort to score heavily against the Germans when the moment for attack arrives. British Front Stiffens. Today's official British reports', while admitting further German ad vances in the jcapture of Roye, in dicated a slowing up of the direct progress against the British font. The official statements Indicated that the Germans saw danger in th exposure of their left ,lank to the threat of the French line-on the Riv er Oise. Evacuation of Noyon gavo the French a river line to hold sgalnst the Germans on a front that paralleled the flow of ammunition and supply trains to the more ad vanced positions -in the region of Uoye. Bitter assaults against thn .. Ja v the day without avail. Meanwhile, the evacuation of Roye by the Ur't- ish served to extend still further th k German, supply lines against wh'ch a French asan.t might be launched. The steadiness of the French line, it was pointed out. was an indica tion in itself that the allies were voluntarily abandoning anme of the territory occupied by the Germans. Bix Counter-Blow Expected. If anything, American officers were more confident tonight than at any previous time of the outcome of the drive. , They have never doubted that It would be stopped. Now, how ever, they are thinking of the prob- able extPot or the counter-mow tney fecl certain is to fall sooner or later. There is no lack of possibilities in the northern sector of the battle area. The British lines there havo been much less shaken than those Mo the south. When the time arrives It Is possible that a thrust will come from that direction also. The pros pect to some officers .Is for a great pincer movement aimed at cuttim off advanced German divisions be fore the can be withdrawn to safety YANKS SHELL TOWNS HELD BY GERMANS t Continued from page 1) t ies of Germans who were dressed In light gray and blue uniforms, the first time these uniforms were seen on this front. Aeria-l Activity Kevlves. One of the American sharpshooters reported that he had spoiled a num ber of these new "spring suits by knocking the wearers Into the mud with bullets from his Springfield Normal aerial activity continued today, the weather being favorable until late in the afternoon - when clouds and light snow flurries passed over the line. The American anti aircraft gunners had a number of chances duilng the day to show their skill and this they did. They drove off enemy airmen who made attempts singly or in groups to prowl over the line. There were several aerial combat between planes carrying American observers with gunes, but these were without re sults, probably because the airmen were unable to get close enough to the Germans. GERMANS SPENDING ENERGY, SAY FRENCH (Continued from page 1) minds is that of the Marne where Germany had every advantage on her side, thanks to her preparation, to the superiority of her man power ind her heavy artillery and her hid den attack across violated Belgium, but she was defeated. Today she is fightlngagainst the powerful Fran- co-British, accustomed to w?.r and well supplied; her effo-. will again be stopped. Such Is the firm and "aim conviction of French opinion, the expression of which is seen this morning in the press. West St. Quentln Is Center.

PAY-LESS AS WELL AS PAIN-LESS DENTISTRY THAT'S PROTECTED No greater evidence of the solid character and good faith of the PainlcE3 Parker dental organization can be found than in the strength of the guarantee given every one of its patients. The hop-skip-and-a-jump tooth-tinkering carpet bagger couldn't offer any such assurance to his custom ers, and be justified in making that kind of sweeping promise. , f There are twelve Painless Parker dental offices in the United States, two in Oregon, one in Washington, eight in Cali fornia, and one in Brooklyn, N. Y. Any individual who has had dental work done in any one of these offices is entitled to follow-up work on the operation, free of charge, in any 4 of the twelve offices he may care to visit. In other words, if any hidden fault in our dentistry comes to light, every one cf our offices are eager to remedy the defect without cost to the patient. On top of that, we urge our patients , to call ai least once every six months and have' the dental work given a thorough examination so that the job may be always kept up in first class shape. Think what this means to you I Your tooth work furnished you at the lowest possible figure, estimated on the basis of A-No. 1 dentistry. Your work done by specialists, all of whom are, of course, regularly licensed. And, after, that, your teeth watched regularly, examination and consulta . tion free, and no charge made for putting old work in good condition. What value is there in the guarantee of an individual dentist, ' who promises you, say, a blanket ten-year pledge that his t,6oth-carpentry will be protected? He may move away, or quit his trade, or die. And then where are you? They make, a big hulabaloo about my conducting" a dental or ganization of nation-wide scope, with scores of dentists aiding me in the different cities where Thave offices. But it helps a lot when you move from your town to another to discover the Painless Parker office in the new place . right ready to see that your chewers are all in good work ing condition. Think it over "'"' " j English from the French armies. It is ror mis ooject mat tne uerman center has made for three days such gigantic efforts. Hindered by the force of the heroic resistance of the English , Prince Rupprecht of Ba varia, always Vlth the idea of reach ing Amiens, determined to realize his program by passing around theJ obstruction by the north. It is thus that he ordered his right wing ope rating north of Peronne to engage Itself completely. Under the furious blows of the assailants tie'Kngllsh have been obliged to withdraw but the obstinacy with which , they have fought has prevented thent to lake the necessary measure to oppose the plans of the enemy. j i Aralww March Favored. Finally the left winr.' operating south of St. Quentln appears to have had for Its mission the ob'ject of ef fecting a diversion in order to favor the march toward Amieftigp Prince Ttupprecht expected unlfoubtedlr that his trops, marching j the di-i rection ef PHs would absorb the attention cz the adversary, i.llut the Intervention of the French troons has disturbed this calculation. Our poHns. although much less numer al's, .have replaced the English in this sector so that our allies can dis- nose of all their reserves to con tinue the fight on the other sector. As for our rolltis, from the moment of tbefr entrv Into the line in spite of . their rumerlcal inferiority, they have set the enemy at bay, Inflicting unon hltn terrible .losses - a nnlv Heldine rround Inch bv inrh hv or- ler of the command.
