ANSWERS THE CALL
The poonle of Chesterfield county
have a right to feel jusfly proud in
the over-subscription of her quota sh
to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Our quota was $467,000.00 for ro,
v/1
the county and the subscription to
the bonds by the people is $648,400,
making an over-subscription of at
least $80,000.00 in round numbers. ^
Thee 3 subscriptions were made, not
under the inspiration of ^eloquent
speakers and the inspiring music of
Lr iss bands, Lut was done by them
in a quiet, determined and business-1 t
like manner. In other words the I

thus sent a message to our boys whr u>
wear the uniform, which will let then iu
1 now that the people back at home t-aj
ure supporting them unstintingly in ,jJ(
their light for liberty, and this message
goes to the ruined homes in )1(
Europe, torn asunder by the heart- sU!
less German, with the cheering message
that their homes will be reLuilt
through victory. Every one of
us is proud that our patriotic county
is in the fight and in the march tc t-e
victory. Future generations will _j_
read with pride the record the people rj^
.iiunniK in mis worm crisis. I s
On behalf of the people of Ches-l-jc
terlield County, I desire to express*. fe.
their unqualified appreciation of the px|
work done by the Township Chair ,)U
men and their faithful committees, ?a,
both men and women, and the banks
and the bank officials for their un- i
selfish and ceaseless etforts in puttil
j? the Loan through, and lastly, ,)U
but not least, the newspapers of our ?01
county, who not only wrote in the ju,
interest of the Fourth Liberty Loan, nft|
but who allowed the free use of thei. pul
columns to further the subscription,
to this loan. We can all rejoice today
that our county is in the right
column in the fight for human and
divine justice. Let us all join hands ^
to keep her there in all future drives ,n
for the support of the war, whether
bond drives, or Red Cross drives or
Y.M.C.A. drives. S()

WILSON AGAIN LAYS DOWN
THE LAW TO THE GERMANS
President Wilson has answered
Germany's latest note about peace.
In brief, he informs Germany that
tch only armistice he would feel justified
in submitting for consideration
to the allied governments would he
jne which would put the United
States and the allied powers in position
to Enforce the arrangements
.hat may be entered into and to make
i renewal of hostilities on the part
>f Germany impossible.
To this end the President has
ransmitted his correspondence with
he present German authorities to
he allied powers.
"Not peace negotiations, but sur ender,"
will be the demand, if the
Jnited States has to deal with the
liilitary masters and the monarchical
authotities of Germany.
The allied armies in France and i
tielirium are still <lrivin?r ?v>?? n..- 1
nans toward their border but the
process is now comparatively slow.
On the sectors that are requisite
,o the stability of the entire German
ine?where a crash through probibly
would mean the immediate colapse
of the whole of the defensive
system?the most stubborn resistinee
is being offered by the enemy
ind what gains are being made by
he allies are virtually foot by foot
n the face of the hornets of the batle
line?the machine guns.
Americans Face Picked Men
Particularly vicious fighting is in
irogress west of the Meuse River,
vhere the Americans in their enleavors
to overcome the natural obitacles
barring the way northward
o Sedan, are faced by picked troops
vith orders to hold them back at all
osts; in the region from La Cateua
o the north of Valenciennes where
he British and some Americans
gradually are tearing their way
hrough the enemy front between
Tournai and Audenarde, where the
British also are hard after the enemy.
Notwithstanding the frantic en.x*

iikewise, northeast of Laon the
Vendi on an eight mile front have
lelivered a thrust that carried them
'orward from two to three miles. Ino
the hands of the British have falen
2,000 more Germans while the
\mericans west of the Mouse also
lave gathered in numbers of the
memy and a considerable quantity of
lis guns.
Nests of machine guns are being
Micountered by the Americans as
hey attempt to press forward along
lie front from the Mouse to the town
>f Grand Pre, situated north of Ar-.
jonnc forest, but in spite of these
ibstacles they have taken further i
rround and at last accounts were ;
steadily keeping up their pressure'
igainst the enemy. Extremely heavy
ounterattacks have been success"ully
sustained north of Grand-Pre.

GERMANS ASK FOR PEACE;
ALLIES LAND NEW BLOWS '
Dr. Solf, the German secretary for
foreign affairs, has sent another message
to President Wilson on the important
question of peace. This
time Germany professes to accept all
the conditions as laid down by President
Wilson. The reply indicates
Germany's willingness to evacuate
occupied territory under an agreement
to be reached by the militarychiefs
in the field. It is announced
in the note, that all submarine commanders
have been ordered to cease
attacks on nascnnmii- I*
v.. n^v i vcoovis. i/rnini
is made that lifeboats and passengers
have been ever purposely destroyed
or that any authorized atrocities
have been committed by German
troops.
It is declared that Germany now
has a parliamentary form of government
responsible to the people.
In the war theatre the allied armies
have taken no heed of the efforts
under way for the roestablishnient of
peace, but are continuing to force
back the Germans at vital points
long the lines in Belgium and France.
British and Americans
In these endeavors the British and :
Americans arc for '.he moment tak- '
ing the prinepa! parts. The British
have aproached to within two miles 1
of Valenciennes and the Americans,
to the northwest of Verdun, have
succeeded in occupying two highly
important positions in their operations
aimed at ad ance northward.
American and British troops have
crossed the Oise canal on a wide
front in the face of desperate resis- (
tance, and further successes in this!
sector will menace the Germans both
to the north and south.

AMERICAN MOVE AT FRONT
Washington, Oct. 23? Further
indications of an impendihg major
attack by the American armies on
the Verdun front came to-day in reports
of fierce fighting around Vouy.iers,
where the French are hammering
at the flank of the forest position
which appears to have been
holding up the general American
movement. Official German reports
show the intensity of the fighting and
admit advances. There is little doubt
that the enemy views the action as
if great importance.
