' " The news from the Balkan front yesterday was as encouraging as that from the west, for from each came a story of defeat for the Huns. The British supported by the French drove hard at the German line and added a considerable territory to the area freed from the pres ence of the invaders of France, besides gathering in some 10,000 prisoners. The Hindenburg line was still more deep ly penetrated and the necessity of further German re tirement emphasized. The Americans, too, were busy, but their efforts were confined largely to cleaning up the area already taken. At the same time they began sending' shells into the outposts ,'of the great German stronghold of Metz, and this according to late reports started the well-to-do Germans in that section to packing up and preparing to move toward Berlin, lhe shoe is .hus placed on the other foot and the Germans are getting a taste of what the Belgians and French have had so much of, the abandoning of their homes. On the Balkan front the Serbs, Greeks and. French drove through the Bulgar lines for twenty miles capturing many prisoners and fifty guns. Besides vast supplies captured the retreating Bul gars destroyed vast stores of munitions and supplies wincn, iroiu wit; pieoemi uiuiwwuiio, mvjr, m nvv lefore long. Another bit of encouraging news was that Bulgaria had appealed to the kaiser to send her aid, but that this appeal was turned down, the Warlords saying 1hev could not spare tne men. instead it was propose to sena several envisions oi Auras, una i uut m.uc im provement on sending them a few divisions of Serbians, for just now the Turks and Bulgars are at swords points. Taken all in all Thursday's results were aoout as encuur aging as any since the allies started their drive. The Germans are sending toy balloons over the Amer ican lines and dropping admonitions to Americans ot Ger man descent to remember "the Fatherland" and turn against that of their adoption. This shows how little the r.prman. mind comprehends American sentiment. No .more determined enemies of militarism and Prussianism can be found anyyhere than the descendants ot berman innpcfiSrs. manv of whom came over the ocean to escape the unendurable system. The thoroughly Americanized German has as little use for the kaiser and the Prussian system as any other peoples who have experienced tne happiness of real freedom. It is not the "fatherland" 1hey are standing behind, but the country where their children and theirs after them for countless generations are to make their homes. We may venerate our ancestors but the folks wc are most interested in are those to whom we will be ancestors. Hoover points out that while the making of beer must stop December first, that between October first and that date nothing but the genuine articles can be used in the making of beer and in consequence the quality will bo the best ever. This may be some consolation to folks kick cast where they can get the beer, but here in Oregon where it is bone dry Hoover's suggestion is only an ag gravation to the thirsty. Baron Burian of Austria was correct when he said the world wanted peace, only he was mistaken as to the kind of peace it wanted. He has discovered that outside of Austria and Germany the world does not want a" "made in Germany" peace or anything that savors of the kind. Austria wants to sit at the table and help make the terms of peace. Her part will be to wait in the kitchen and take whatever is left her. When the Czecho-Slovaks, the Jugo-Slavs and the Poles have their innings there will n&t be' enough left of Austria for next year's seed. "Am I doing my full duty to myself, the boys in France and to my country?" As your conscience answers this question you will know whether you have subscribed to the Liberty loan as your circumstances demand you should. America stands on the threshold of a great adventure and a great test. Adventure abroadwhere our army is poised for a plunge into territory long held as German soil a plunge through what must be the flower of Germany's troops it the kaiser is not at once to concede defeat A scorching test abroadsince our First American Army, released from the tutelage of French and British war experts, must pit its own newly acquired skill against the boche past-masters. . . Glorying in the valor revealed at Cantigny and Chateau-Thierry, secure in the strength of the millions of other Americans hurrying to the battle front, our army as impatiently as confidently awaits the issue. America at home faces as great a challenge in the Fourth Liberty Loan, and as great a test. The huge size of the loanwhether for six or eight Diiiion dollars it outstrips all precedent thrills our im agination and rouses jis to our most extreme efforts that it may be "put over"n the short time set. A searching test since it will reveal inexorably just how much in earnest America-at-home is in its desire to crush autocracy into the mud of this winter's battlefields. Germany will laugh if more than the allotted three weeks is required to raise the minimum sum called for. Germany will tremble at the news of an oversubscrip tion in less time. " The loan is not a large one when the huee resources of the United States, $250,000,000,000 are considered. The oversubscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan will reauire less than a fifth of the annual income of the country, now estimated at 5ou,uuu,uuu,uuu.

LADD & BUSH, Bankers' A frlW LIBERTY BONDS CmPm If 11.11 i!lf X f yy lii lorsaieon and af teriSaturday, Sept. 28 The German mother lost nine sons all stalwart, young, upstanding Huns. She wept beside her cottage door for those who would return no more; the burden of her grief and caVe seemed greater than her soul could bear; her face was wan, her eyes were bleak, her hair grown snowy in a week. But now the postman comes and cries, "Here's something that will dry your eyes ! A let ter with a Potsdam crest-now may your woes go galley west!" With awe the stricken mother takes the mis sive, and the seal she breaks. Great Wilhelm, ruler of the Huns, has heard about her nine lost sons, and he has sent a work of art to soothe and heal the broken heart; it is a photo of himself, fit for the mantel or the shelf; majestic, beautiful and grand, it's autographed by his own hand! The mother dries her scalding tears; she and the postman give three cheers; their arms in ecstacv they lock, and bunnyhug around the block. "Ach himmel" cries the mother then, "the world seems bright and fair again; who would not send a bunch of sons against the hungry allied guns, if thereby he or she might get his photograph, already yet? I have a grandad in the house, two uncles and my worthy spouse, and I shall send them forth to die; perhaps the kaiser, in reply, will send a photographic view of Kronprinz Willyum Frederick, too". tnan she usually disnlaved. She had been glad he spoko of the apartment, mat no nad said no more about what she was thinking. She was not accustom .m1 to hiding her feelings. Sho must learn to do so, or else to so concentrate on her work that even what Brian had done, or might do, could not take- her thoughts-from it. Mr. Mandel said no more, save about the work in hand. For half an hour they discussed the lovely old house they rae to "make over inside," ns ho ejcpiets ed it; and when ho left her with the plana nearly ready for her to work up the color scheme, Ruth really had for gotten all about what Mrs. Curtis had said had even forgotten there was such a person as Mollie King. But she recalled her again at dinner when she told Brian of meoting Mrs. Curtis. "She is going to ask us to dinner, and she also said shv was going to ask that nicn Miss King you took out to dinner while I wag away. I tokl her we would bo glad to come. I hope I did right." "Of course we'll gol The Curtfiies arc rather jolly people, and they also have a very good cook. Curtis is pret ty wvll fixed," he added, flushing a little as ho always did when money was the subject. Buth started to repeat what Mrs. instead of morP client, he seemed to have fewer. He had contributed less to expenses that month than the preced ing ones. That 1k had spent the money entertaining Mollie King, she of course was not aware, altho she knew ho had taken her to dinner twice. But when they had taken a meal at some restaur ant together It bad been a simple, in expensive one except the time Brian wanted to show off because he was hurt tha sho earned more than he did; and of which she never thought without a sniiVe at his childishness. So she tievor figured that nearly half a month's rent had been spent On Mollie. Had she known it, she would have been shocked and hurt. And had she known, that bo cause of his lavish entertainment he had again borrowed of Clark, si.-t would have been angry. He had promised not to do so again, and RuUi never even thought of such a thing as his breaking his word. Had bIio been able to diagnose Bri an's feeling toward her when she rial- ize(i she could earn moro than he ever been surprised. That he for a moment had been paid, sho would perhaps have felt, really felt, she was belittleing him to the extent ho considered she was, she never dreamed; .had she known, it is doubtful if she would have understood.
