Rags!
i ——
Millions of dollars’ worth
of Kags collected

___ V
! ...
The General says:
My output of Certain-teed
Roofing has grown to such enor
mous proportions that I am hav
ing difficulty in getting enough
rags of good grade to supply this
demand.
I also need a lot of rags of lower
grade for making my standard
quality roofing, and also a still
lower grade for making my Com
petition quality roofing.
I will pay the best market price
for roofing rags anywhere in any
quantity. If they can be shipped
in carload quantities and in as
sorted grades, we can have them
shipped direct to any of our big
mills, but if in smaller quantities
or unassorted, we will arrange
. with one of our packers or as
1 sorters near you,' to buy your rags
and prepare them for our use in
the different grades.
I
I
a
Churches, Societies,
Charitable Institutions
_ 1 others are making good
revenue by collecting all kinds of old
rags. We consume scores and scores
of tons of these rags every day—in fact
the total rag sales of the country amount,
to several million dollars a year. It’s
an easy way to make money. The rags
are generally given to the collectors or
at least sold for very little. Every kind
of rag can be used for something. Use
this plan to pay off your church debt
or raise the minister’s salary. The
results are surprising.
Certain-teed
S£ika ROOFING
is the highest quality possible to make.
It is guaranteed in writing to last S
years for 1-ply, 10 years for 2-ply, and
IS years for 3-ply, and this guarantee
is backed by the world’s largest roof
ing mills.
There is a dealer in your locality who
handles Cert gin-teed Roofing and our
other wide line of goods. If you con
sult him he will be glad to give you
full information about our goods and
will quote you reasonable prices on ail
of them. Be sure the goods are made
and guaranteed by us.

GREAT GERMAN
! OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT
Through Belgium and France as
Told From German Stand
point, Uncensored by
British.
Aix La Chapelle, Germany,
August 29.— (By Courier to
| New York, via, Holland, to es
jcape censor.) —America has
!not the faintest realization of
j the terrible carnage going on in
Europe. She cannot realize the
determination of Germany —
all Germany, men, women and
children—in this war. The Ger
man empire is like one man.
And that man’s motto is “Fath
erland or Death.”
England’s news sources are
reported here as telling of the
masterly retreat of the Allies.
Here in th Grman field quarters
w’here every move on the great
chess board of Belgium and
France is analyzed the war to
date is referred to as the great
est offensive movement in the
history of modern warfare. This
city is just behind the apex off
a wonderful triangle. This tri
angle is the German offensive
lines closing in on the British
French-Belgian lines. It is
moving with relentless swiftness
hammering at every point. It
is driving the Allied armies
soutn ana west towara raris,
yet no one knowrs whether Paris
is really the objective. The
French offensive is to be crush
ed. The British are to be driven
' away from their seacoast bases.
After that Paris will be taken,
but before then there will be
fought the greatest battle the
world has ever witnessed. To
i night the German patrols are
. threatenening Ostend. Part of
| the right wing has been pushed
’southward beyond Lille. The
combined British and French
forces have been defeated wtih
heavy losses about Maubege
The army of the Crown Prince
has taken the fortress of Long
wy by assault after demolish
ing it by bombardment. And by
this movement and the capture
of Luneville, near Nancy, the
French center has been pierced.
From Lille in the west, to Bel
fort, far in the southeast, the
French lines have been thrown
back in utter confusion and the
Germans are in force on the
French soil. French and Belgi
an prisoners admit that the
French have been outgeneralled.
Up to tonight there has not
been a real French victory. Their
forces were trapped in Alsace
Lorraine. Realizing that the
French temperament was more
( likely to be swayed by sentiment
[ than by the stern adherence to
i.1__1__ £_i-_1_£._ _
liiu iuico ui actual wauaic, tuu
German staff selected is own
battle lines and wraited. The
French did not disappoint. They
rushed across the border and
;took Altkirck with little opposi
tion. Then they rushed into
Muhlhausen. Through the pass
es in the Vosges they poured,
horse, artillery, foot—all branch
es of the service. Strassburg
was to fall and so swift was the
| French movement that lines of
communication were not guard
ed.
Then the German general staff
struck. Their troops from Saar
burg, from Strassburg, and from
Metz, under the command of
General Von Heeringen attack
ed the French all along the line.
They were utterly crushed. The
Germans took more the " V
000 Frenchmen prisoner^ c.-.d
more than 1,000 guns of every
description. Alsace-Lorraine is
now reported absolutely cleared
of French troops.
! The German offensive plans
were well laid. No army that
ever took the field was ever sc
mobile- Thousands of army
automobiles have been in use,
Every regiment has its supply
The highways were mapped ir
advance. There was not a cross
road that was not known. Ever
| the trifling brooks had been lo
cated. Nothing had been left to
chance and the advance guard
was accompanied by enormous
automobiles filled with corps of
sappers who carried bridge and
road building materials.
! How well this worked was
shown when Namur which, it
was boasted, could resist for j
I months, fell in two days. The
'terrible work of these great
! Krupp weapons, whose existence
had been kept secret is hard to
realize. One shot from one of
these guns went through what
: had been considered an impreg- j
| nable wall of concrete and ar-j
mored steel at Namur, exploded i
' and killed 150 men. And aside
from the effectiveness of these
\ terrible weapons, Belgian prison
| ers with whom I have talked
here, men who were in the Na
mur forts, declared their fire ab
solutely shatters the nerves of j
the defenders whose guns have
not sufficient range to reach
them.
The armies of Crown Prince
Wilhelm and of Crown Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria are report
ed here as moving in an irresist
ible manner into France. In a i
three-day battle below Metz, it'
is declared the French were ter
ribly cut up and forced to re
i treat in almost a rout. It is
! declared that in this engagement
the French lost 151 guns and
were unable to make a stand a

until they had passed inside of
their secondary line of defense.
This city is one of the princi
pal centers for the wounded.
The losses, according to the
wounded of both sides are ap
palling. This is admitted to be
the case on the German side, as
the Germans are constantly on
the offensive and have refused
to wait to besiege the entrench
ed positions, but have taken
them by direct charges. French
and Belgian prisoners I have
talked to declare nothing up to
the present time has stopped the
Germans.
“It makes you sick the way the
j Germans literally walk into the
mouth of the machine guns and
cannon spouting short-fused
shrapnel that mow down their
lines and tear great gaps in
them”, said a Belgian major,
! who was badly wounded. “Noth
ing seems to stop them- It is
like an inhuman machine and it
takes the very nerve out of you
to watch them”.
“Trainload after trainload of
wounded pass through here.
Prisoners as well as German
wounded are sent to the concern*

j mans are sent home to get ready
ifor further service. Although

half pages of a newspaper in
small type, there are not even
approximate figures available
yet of the number of the German
dead.
“Describig the fighting one
wounded soldier said to me: “It
was indescribable carnage. We
met Hand to hand. It was bayo
net to bayonet,rifles clubbed, au
tomatic pistols and swords. The
dead were piled like barricades
everywhere. Blood ran In
brooks. It seemed like a horri
ble nightmare. Here and there
in the pile of mutilated corpses
a hand would move, a leg twitch
convulsively. A mass of bloody
flesh that once was a man would
murmur for water. But there
was no time to aid. We had to
fight until we won. Then we
tried to save life. But it was us
ually too late.” __
