LONDON. Sept. 19. The Czechs-
Slovak forces in European Russia
are being hard pressed by the en
emy, largely owing to lack of muni
tions and stores. Within the last
10 days, the Bolsheviki. assisted by
a considerable number or Germans,
have succeeded in occupying Volsk.
Simbirsk and Kazan. The fall of
Kazan appears to have been due en
tirely to lack of ammunition by the
Czecho-Slovaks.
The Germans are reported to be
concentrating considerable supplies
at Kharkov and Bielogorod with a
view to an advance on the Volga and
to prevent General Alexieff's forces
in the Don valley from joining hands
with the Czecho about Samara.

Buy Liberty Bonds!
To have withheld money from Washington might have prevented the found
ing ot this nation upon the cornerstone o f Liberty:
To have withheld money from Lincoln might have dashed the Republic upon
the rocks and lost the Liberty so dearly bought
To withhold money now would not only endanger this great, glorious country
but might lose liberty for a whole world.
Buy Liberty Bonds! Invest $50 or more for your children's freedom, your
grandchildren's safety, your own happiness. Aren't they worth the price?"
