JOINT OFFENSIVE
TERRIFIC DRIVE MADE
ON FLANDERS FRONT
"Following a Week of More of Terri
fic Cannonading British and French
Surge Forward, Capturing All Ob
1 jective Points.
LONDON, July 31.—A terrific
joint offensive was opened today on
the West Flanders front, along the
North Lys River, by British and
French troops, who surged forward
over the German lines, taking all ob
jective points and retiring the Ger
mans along a front of 2300 yards to
a depth of half a mile.
The assault followed a week of vio
lent cannonading by the Allies, and
according to information given out
by the war office the assaults were
pressed home with the utmost vigor.
This is the first offensive attempt
ed by the British troops for more
than a month, and it is believed that
a general attempt will be made to re
tire the Teutons from the vicinity of
Dlxmunde and Ypres.

Enlist Your Dollars
In the War
In this time of our country’s crisis an idle dollar is
as much a “slacker” as an idle man. Are your dol
lars doing their duty?
“The Liberty Loan of 1917” invites the immediate
response of the American people. Every dollar sub
scribed will help make it a success. The quicker the
better.
Armies of dollars are an absolute necessity for
national defence. Unless the dollars at home
stand back of them, the soldiers in the field can
not do their utmost to protect our households
and our freedom.
