Individual Must Hereafter Pay Qwn Expense; War Also Couttibyting Factor HINDENBURG LINE UNDER HEAVY FIRE. . By Fred S. Ferguson. (United Press Correspondent.) With the Americans .on the Metz Front, Sept. 14.—The Hindenburg line is under continuous shelling from heavy and light American guns and the total penetration is reported to be 13 miles. Numbers of Germans were caught between the lines and the work of “mopping up” the salient is in progress. It is permissible now to state that the task of wipping out the salient which has existed for four years was actually achieved in 27 hours. French and Americans are keeping in close touch with the enemy while the consolidation of lines is in progress. An order from Postmaster General Burleson has just been received by Manager George H. Bielitz of the Be- midji office of the Northwestern Tel- ephone company, requiring, on the part of the telephone companies, a . charge for the installation of new tel- ephones- and for moving phones al- ready installed. The reaon assigned . is the necessity for comserving labor and material and that permanent us- ers of telephone service may be reliev- ed from bearing an expense which it -is not. ptoper they should bear. This change will go-into effect at once. The moving charge will ‘be the actual cost _of labor - and material necessary for making the change. This charge will apply to inside and outside moves in connection with any class of service. The charges for in- stalations will be: “Whete the rate for exchange serv- ice is $2 per month or less, $5. where the rate for exchange service is more than $2 but not exceeding $4 per month, $10; where the rate for ex- change seryice is more than $4 per month the cost of installation will be Scene in Noyon, French town used as a base by the Germsns, and now recaptuxed by the allies. i g7 - MAJOR YOST WRITES HE |35t it e " WILL ATTEND ‘BEMIDJI |iar hhar S2'Eus et SEPTEMBR 28 IS Lig:wé‘ultfiya minor.
