ON TEN 3IILE l'KONT.
Tho allies Thursday delivered a now
stroke over a ten-mllo front between
Buznncy, about four miles of SOlssons
to Scringes, north of Fere-en-Tardon-ols.
Tho result waa a conaldorablo ad
vanco and the wiping out of tho elbow
in the lino at Ouclchy-lo-Cbateau, ac
cording to the Evening Standard
Thursday aftornopn,
Amorlcan and Fronch troops have
begun a turning movement which If
successful will compel a German re
tlrjtmp.nt over a whin sector cast of
Sotssons-Rheims salient. They have
attackod over a front of moro than
three miles on each sldo of Nosles,
the apex of the nllied weflgo north of
the Ourq. Their groatest advance "was
toward the east, w.liere Uiet Americans
pushed on some dlstanco from the
town of Sergy and approached Oham
jry. Altho tho announced purpoao of the
attack was tho strengthening of the
lino, this really is secondary to tho out
flanking of tho Germnns to tho south
Ward. Tho enemy Is holding every
strong position at Honchrcs and St
Gemoo, whore tho lino still is less than
five mile3 from tho Marno, and a con
tinued advance between Nosles and
Clorgcs would force liim to fall back

NEW MANAGEMENT
A NEW PLAN--- "
MORE CLOTHING FOR LESS MONEY.
In taking- over the Hnrcourt Clothing- Com-inny, yiivve .put the business on' a
STRICTLY SPOT CASH: BASIS.
I am going to get the solid, substantial buyers of this section becnuso my cash
policy saves them money in two vital ways. I can buy cheaper when I buy for cash;
and I can sell cheaper because here a man pays only for what he gets, without add
ing a few dollars to help pay for some bad-credit buyer's clothes to boot.
This Store Sells For Cash Only,
The Savings go to You on Your Clothing,
Furnishings, Hats and Shoes.
I am no stranger here. Most of you r people know mo well, nnd thoy'll loll you
I never promised anything yet that 1 did not. keep my word And now I'm promising
you better clothes for loss money. Hut if yo u don't know mo, please don't believe mo
just come in nnd see for yourself. Let my prices do tho talking. That's all.
