 We are assured of some old time band concerts at the park in the im- mediate future by our splendid band. Prof. Blake is introducing some en- lrely new music to the boys and as soon as they become masters of it you will once again have the privilege of sitting beneath the tall, stately oaks and the new and noisy bird boxes and listen to the sweet and dreamy music as it comes rolling to you from the height of the band stand above which floats what is destined to get us all into scrap. But anyway. we are assured of some band concerts soon.

Pershing Makes Brief Report
of Casualties; List is
/ Given Out.

Washington, Nov. 5. - American
troops captured by the Germans in
the trench raid the morning Of Nov.
3 probably were trapped in their dug
outs and forced to surrender or be
blown to pieces with hand erenades
without a chance for their lives. This
is the only explanation which occurs
to army officers today, lacking any de-
tails of the fight.
General Pershings brief report
merely stated that the German artil-
lery had dropped heavy barrage fire
about a sector of the trench, cutting
the men off from help. No explanation
of the eight casualties and the l2 men
taken prisoners was received. The
! fact that one wounded German was
captured. however. indicated that the
| trench had been reoccuried by the
| American forces.

Dcnorncing Lawsons Charge Before
Committee.
Washington, Jan 15.-In refcrring
to Tom Lawson's testimony, in the

whatever" in stock speculatons or had
been connected in any manner what
ever with a leak"
Secretary McAdoo said:
No man should be called upon 70
notice such detestable and irrespon-
sible gossip and slander, but since
my name has been mentioned 1 wish
to say that no more shameless and
Wanton lie could be conceived than
the rumor or suggestion that I have
been interested at any time or in any
manner whatever in stock speculation
or purchases of stocks in New York
or elsewhere or that l have been con-
nected in any manner whatever with
the alleged leak" about the social
ed peace note
THE putrid partisan politicians and
the putrid stock gamblers in Boston
and New York are giving the county
n painful exhibition of the contemp-
tible methods to which they resort IN
their efforts to injure the administra
ton.
IF any man in or out of congress
will assume responsibility for these
ISLANDERS or If / can secure legal proof
Of the guilt of such a man 1 will have
him put in the penitentiary where he
belongs. 1t is time that an example
is made of the foul scoundrels who
make profession Of whispered and
haseless insinuations against men in
public life.
Secretary Tumulty gave out III S
statement:
After the complete and definite
statement which J made TO the rules
committee last week it should hardly
be necessary for me to say that there
is not a Sc;ntilla Of truth in these
