BULGARIA’S MOVE DISASTER TO HUNS
Atlanta got off to a fine start om
its Fourth Liberty bond campaign
Saturday, many of the committees
rounding up the prospects in their
buildings or offices and reporting
many thousands of dollars invested.
But the work on the opening day was
largely preliminary, for the drive will
not be intensively pushed until Mon
day night, in the home neighborhoods,
and Tuesday, in the business section.
Many new bonds actually were sold
and delivered by the banks.
District headquarters began receiv
ing “over-the-top” telegrams early in
the day. Troup County and the town
of LaGrange, as in the Third Loan,
reported being oversubscribed a min
ute after the campaign opened.
Robert Harvey, chufian of the At
lanta zone, reported that the follow
ing countles would certainly reach
their quotas within a day or twe:

' 1,500 Badges Gone.
| The number of workers engaged in
Atlanta was indicated by the fact that
11,600 badges ordered by Secretary
Robertson were all gone Saturday,
and more workers wera demanding

"actively in the third campaign.

quiet week on one of our Lorraine sec

trenches run close together. The sun
came up one mgrning on a huge placard
hoisted from the German front Hl;le and

““Welcome, Yankees, of the Blankety-

A couple of hours later this sign, In
German, went upon on our front line:
‘“No, but we brought a lot of Hell.”
The next morning the Germans opened
with this one:
‘“Yankees, spend the day in prayer.
We kill you tonight.”
And this was the answer from our
trenches:
“Germans, give your hearts and souls
to Jesus, because we've got your goats.”

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 27 (night).—All of
the new American positions, reached
in the mighty drive, which began
yesterday, were consgeolidated today.
‘All objectives that the Americans set
lout to take were attained.
(In addition to their advance of
more than 7 miles, it was unofficially
estimated Friday night that the
Americans had taken 9,000 prisoners
and 50 guns.)
There was desperate fighting today
along the American center in the
Montfaucon sector,
German machine gunners made bit
ter resistance while the enemy artil
lery ‘violently shelled the American
posgitions.

Moving Up Big Guns.
While the new line was belng con
solidated today the men were busy
bringing up supplies, and the artillery
men were active also moving up the
big guns to positions of vantage from
which the Germans could be more ef
fectively shelled. The weather was
unfavorable, There was both fog and
rain. While this assisted materially
the infantry in screening their move
'ments, it hampered the tanks and
airmen and made artillery observa
tion very difficult,
~ General von Elnem, who i{s com
manding the Germans !mmediately in
front of the Americans, has rushed up
reinforcements In an effort to stem
the American advance. Fresh troops
were concentrated in the sectors of
Bolismont and Bols-de-Bouge, but
their positions were reporied to our
artillery and the heavy guns were
soon roaring. The German reinforce
‘m-nts were badly hammered.,
In spite of the mud, the tanks were
ifi the thick of the fray, lumbering
through the swampy roads and fields
alongside of the infantry.
The drive northwest of Verdun was
followed up by a flare-up eaxt of the
Meuse River today, tha American
guns enflinding the German positions
from three sides. This was made
possible by the advance Thursday.
