In these days of high
priced fuel you cannot
afford, to use a cheap
range or any range that
wastes fuel. If it only
wastes 5c worth of fuel
a day you waste $18.25
a year or about the price
of a Copper-Clad every
5 years.
I The four walls and air space of the Copper-Clad
• Range holds heat like a thermos bottle. Even the
doors are double with a big air space between the
two walls.
The sheet of pure capper between the asbestos and
outer wall or range body overcomes all internal
\rilst, making the Copper-Clad last years and years
Uonger than any other range.
*Add $18.25 to the price of any range for the first year,
then $18.25 to the price for the second and so on
every year. You can’t afford to buy any range but
a Copper-Clad,--The World's Greatest Range.

YANKS VICTORY
ALMOST PERFECT.
American Headquarters in Lorraine,
Sept. 13.—The St. Mihiel salient,
created by the Germans at great cost
to secure an adequate frontage to
ground of much value to them, and
which no efforts of the French had
been able to wrest from them, has
been eliminated by the combined
American and French forces.
The attack was made in the time
honored manner of attack on both
sides of the salient with elastic pres
sure around its apex. More complete
success could hardly have been ob
tai ~d and all objectives were reached
v 1 in advance of the expected hour.
The enemy had probably determin
ed, in view of the pressure applied, t«
accept a straightening of his line here
as he had done further west, but if
that really were his intention, he lost
a surprisingly large number of men.
Apart from any that may have beer
taken at the apex and on the western
side of the salient, those captured ir
the southern attack greatly exceeded
expectations.
i The group of from 100 to 300 pris
oners streaming back through the ad
j vancing guns were the most mixed-lot
imaginable. There were some fine
; big gunners, more than six feet tall,
and there were children of 14, fright
! ened out of their wits.
I From one o’clock in the morning I
the sky blazed with the light of the .
great artillery battle, something
which had not been seen for months
on this part of the line. When the
troops went over, what daylight
fc
there should have been, was obscured •
by the driving mist and rain. Later
in the day the weather improved
somewhat, but the rain-sodden ground
made the progress of the transports
and heavy guns exceedingly difficult.
The southern attack extended past
Montsec, a great natural fortress 1,
200 feet high, practically to the Mo
selle at Pone-a-Mousson. This is open,
i rolling, grass land-country. It would
be difficult to find more advantag
eous fighting ground.
The Germans undoubtedly were
busy getting their guns away and the
support offered to their sacrificed in
fantry was weak in the extreme.
Of counter-battery work there
seemed to be none at all.
Though the day was unpropitous,
the airplanes did splendid work,
swooping on the retiring infantry
and driving them clear of the road,
besides pushing every German plane
out of the sky and bring down several
balloons in flames, including one
most prized by the Germans on tbe
high ground at Marieulles.
Did you read that America is the
leciding factor? Coming from Lord
Milner this statement is momntuous
and America is not coming in—she
has come in—America is in.
