MORNING, APRIL 8, 1918 ANNO UN GEM ENT OUR Government has requested that we put at the disposal of the War Department our entire output of the "makings" "BULL" DURHAM tobacco. And we have complied? fully, gladly.

For whatever the Government wants, whatever it needs, it must have from us and from you fully and with a generous heart. We have been sending immense quantities of "Bull" to our men at the front, and at the same time trying to supply consumers at home. But now we are asked to give all our output: 36,000,000 sacks, 2,000,000 100 carloads of "BULL" DURHAM every month. This call means more than just huge figures to me and I know it will mean more than figures to the hundreds of thousands of men everywhere in the country who "roll their own" and who look upon that little muslin sack of good old "Bull" as a personal, everyday necessity. It means that the Government has found that our fighting men need the But, if "Bull" is a necessity to you, here, in the peaceful pursuit of your daily life, how much greater its necessity to those splendid Americans who have gone to fight for you to win this war for you.

I know that you will think of them as I do only of them. I know there will not be a single complaint. I know that you will give up your share of however long you have enjoyed it, however close it is to you, as you will give up anything you have if it is made clear to you that our forces over there need it. That the Government has requested the whole output of the night and day output of all of our factories, must make this absolute need clear to you. And' I know that you will not forget the little muslin sack gone for the present on its mission of hope and inspiration to our boys in the trenches.

"Bull" will come back, with ribbons of honor. Have no fear. The American Tobacco Company NEW YORK The'Maldngs probation class; prayer meeting at 8 and a meeting of the Sunday school board after prayer meeting. St. Paul's M.

DON FUSS MUSTARD PLASiERS! GERMANS' SECOND ATTEMPT LASTED ONLY THREE DAYS Fighting Has Simmered Down to Isolated Engagements in Which French and British Hold Firm FOCH PATIENTLY WAITING Will Strike With All His Forces When the Right Mo ment Arrives (Continued from First Page.) into any false move where each move is of such vital Importance but will strike with his reserves at the moment chosen by him. The Kaiser's Movcmonts There may be some significance in the report that the German Emperor, after a conference on the west em front on Saturday with his chiefs, von Hindenburg and Luden dorff, intends to proceed to Rumania. At the outset of the great German offensive, when it was sweeping the Allied forces before it, notwithstand ing their tenacious resistance, Em peror William, it was announced of flcially from Berlin, was In supreme command. That announcement was regarded at the time as evidence that the Emperor expected a com plete and decisive victory. Since then, however, British and French and American reinforcements have come up.

Local Fighting The British on Sunday engaged in sharp local fighting at various points and repulsed German counter at tacks. They also drove off by artil lery fire two German attacks launch ed in the neighborhood of Bucquoy. West of Noyon a German detachment which had gained a foothold in the French lines was forced out by a counter attack. Another at tack at Grievsnes was repulsed, but the German efforts along the Olse to enlarge their previous gains were continued in the sector between Chauny and Barisis. Here the French commanders deemed it ad visable to withdraw to positions previously prepared, and these are being held strongly.

The official communication from German headquarters deals with the events of Saturday, when strong British infantry forces stormed the German positions around Beaumont Hamel and Albert, and French di visions "brought up from other fronts" attacked the Germans on the western bank of the Avre. These en gagements, according to the German report resulted in failure for the Allies. Haig's Report On the other hand, Field Mar shal Haig's report says that a Ger man attack on the British lines opposite Albert Saturday was re pulsed and that British counter at tacks in Aveluy wood placed the British in positions formerly held by them. German troops are still being pour ed into Finland, and although the Russian authorities have made no formal protest, they have notified the German government that excep tion ia taken to the violation by Germany of provisions of the Brest LitovsK treaty guaranteeing the security of the Russian fleet and naval stores in Finnish waters. Polish soldiers have been intern ed in Hungary, their legions having been dissolved by the Teutonic military authorities because of "wholesale treason in the ranks." OBITUARY Franklin E.
