Washington, June ll.-President Will

tant speeches Of the war for the Flag

According 70 the Presidents spokes-

disappointed in the Russian message

were active during the night, penetrat-

Royal Flying Corps. The German lines
were entered southwest of La Bassee,

German Attacks a Failure
The advance in Flanders demon
strates that Hindenburg's counter at
tacks were a failure. The British for
ward movement was begun last night
after a heavy bombardment from the
newly won Messines Ridge, and method
ically carried out along the centre OF
the new front. A mile-wide belt OF
fortifcations was wrested from the
enemy this morning, and further prog
ress was made during the afternoon.

The British, having driven forward

MALONE WALLAR DIES At NORFOLK,

The sad news reached Lexington
Tuesday morning that Malone, son
of DR.. and Mrs. A. L. Waller. of
Juno, this county, had just died in
the U. S. Naval Hospital at Nor

about % years.
Just a few weeks ago Malone had
volunteered to join the United
States navy and his family and
friends had bright hopes in connec.
ton with his ability to serve his
country for Malone was a Young
man of marked intellectually and
ambition.
In our last issue we made notice
that Bill Golf had gone to Norfolk
to ascertain the condition of Malone
and it was from him last Tuesday
morning that came the message
telling The sad and final news.
The death of Malone Waller is of
peculiar sadness to his friends and
surviving relatives because of the
fact that it follows so close upon
the disability Of his father by par
tial paralysis.
The PROGRESS has long claimed
the Waller family among its warm
est friends and in this, their sore
bereavement, our heart goes out to
them in a sympathy too deep far
