ance caused by the dumping Of sew
age into the Detroit river.
As result of the mayors demand
for haste In the preparation Of charter
amendments special meeting of the
council committee on city and charter
legislation has been called for Thurs
day afternoon.
In his communication the mayor de-
elared he had no objection to the
presentation Of any sort Of amend
|ment, although he had opposed the
proposed new charter submitted to the
people last spring. His chief objec-
ton to the defeated charter was, he
said, that In order to obtain the good
things provided. one had to take sew.
eral things not 80 good. He expressed
his belief that changes were neces.
sary and signified his desire that the
people be given an opportunity to ex-
press their will.
In addition TO asking the council to
provide suitable medals for the Boy
Scouts, Mayor Marx urged that q spe-
cial boy Scout Day" be set aside at
the Michigan state fair and that the
city foot the bills. Aid. Jacket intro
duced the resolution putting the mat
ter before the council for formal ac-
ton and, oh motion OF AID Lodge the
resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on ways and means.
The ways and means and sewers
committees were delegated to consid-
er the river pollution problem.

PROGRESS OF BIG
BATTLE STILL IN
FAVOR OF ALLIES


from the front that there are thou.
sands Of dead and wounded Germans
In the territory now occupied by the
allies. II Is stated that the German
officers deliberately sacrificed thou
sands OF men In one supreme effort
to break the allied lines. This was
especially 30 In the case Of the army
OF Gen. Won Kluck. His men swept
up against the British artillery mass
ed along river bank q score of times
only to be finally compelled to retreat,
leaving hundreds Of their conrad 90
behind. In each instance the British
infantry charged the retreating Ger
mans, bayoneting them as they ran.
The Germans are admittedly tired
out The constant advancing has told
on them. They had to move through
hostile territory. always opposed by
the French and British, and their
night marches, when their command
ers took advantage OF the bright
moonlight, also told. Prisoners who
have been brought here declare that
for the last three weeks hardly a Ger.
man soldier has had more than three
hours sleep per night. They have all
been well fed. however, as the earlier
failure Of their commissary has been
remedied.
Advices from the French center
received here from Bordeaux declare
that, while there have been intermit-
tent checks and failures, the general
trend OF the battle In toward the sue
cess of the French arms. They are
enormous damage on the
Germans. who are reported as lighting
with far less vim than In the earlier
stages of the struggle. The French
right In reported as steadily advanc
Ing, although very slowly.
