Franco-American Push North of
Chateau-Thierry Turns Into a
Fierce Battle for Possession of
Forest in This Region.
London. July 26. On all sides of
the German salient the allies are re
ported today to be continuing to
make progress, except on the heights
behind Soissons. The German re
sistance to the Freuch pressure has
been very determined in this latter
sector. The advances reported else
where are for the most part slight.
On the other side of the salient
just to the west of Ilheims the al
lies lost the town of Mery and Hill
204 to a German counter-attack but
retained Yrigny and tire greater
part of the line thereabouts looking
toward Fismes.
The allies in this sector hold
Marfaux. Bouilly, St. Euphraise and
Courton wood.
Between the ()urei and Chateau
Thierry the Franco-American line
now shows an advance beyond the
line of a week ago of from six to
eight miles.

Americans Push Ahead.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front. July lm;. The
Franco-American push north of
Chateau Thierry has resolved itself J
into a battle for the woods, which J
abound in this region. The Ger-j
mans are fighting a rear guard ac- I
tion with their artillery and ma-
chine guns, retiring gradually be-!
fore the allied forces. The Ger- !
many infantry is not in evidence.
The indications early today were j
that the enemy was making prep- I
arations for a further withdrawal.!
He has been struggling to hold the !
northern half of the forest of Fere f
and of the forest of Kis. but the!
allies pre making progress in the I.
work cf ousting him from the re
mainder of these woods.
The allied troops moved up their '
heaviest guns early in the day and j
were throwing shells into the Ger- !
man lines as far as Saponay, j.i'i j
miles northwest of Oulchy-Le-Cha-teau)
and beyond Fere-En-Tarde- j
nois (-2 miles southeast of Saponay.
The districts to the south were also
being peppered by allied shells.
The Germans have been ting
much "sneeze" ga, hut ineffective
ly. The poplar and oak forests of
Fere and Ris are filled with under
brush and the allied forces are hav
ing a stiff job to get through them
but are continuing the push night
and day. The German machine
gunners and artillery are desperate
ly contending for every inch of
ground before giving it up.
Tins morning the battle in (he
woods was still in progress.

How to Spend
Your Back Pay
Of course you are seeking advice
on this perplexing problem, and no
doubt there are plenty of people willing to help you out,
however, here is a suggestion we think will pass muster:
1st. Buy War Saving Stamps.
2nd. Buy clothing, and buy now.
Both of these will make you money. With
the 1st you will be doing your country a good
turn. With the 2nd you will be doing your
self a mighty good turn.
We cannot impress this upon you too strongly. We do
not know where you could invest $50 to earn greater dividends than in clothing pur
chased now. Our big stock at Peace Time prices has enabled many a man to provide
against the evil day of poor qualities and high prices it will do the same for you if you
act now. Such values as we offer now at $18, $21 and $25 will soon be out of reach.
