BLAME eYPsIES FOR JAZZ
Music and Dance Originated With
Romany Tribe in Southern Part
of Europe.

Akron, O.-Most folks thought the
Jazz bands and the jazz music came
from somewhere around New Orleans
and that New York finished the job
by introducing the jazz dance. But
DR.. Oscar Junek, educator of this city,
says the music and dance come from
the Islgane Gypsles. who roam the
southern part of Europe.
Doctor Junek was born In Sllesla.
Austria, and says he often saw the
Gypsies stop to do the jazz dance.
He thinks some American dancing
master must have visited that country.

cry with stripes well managed. This
particular model is not for stout fig
ures but stripes matched in this way
at the front, in skirts without drapery,
make models especially becoming to
them.
1t can be taken in at glance that
this blouse would look just as well
with a skirt of wool or silk in plain
blue, and make itself an important
factor in the style Of tailored suit.
The skirt suggests sheer white lingerie
blouses as companion pieces or blouses
in light colOred crepe georgette. 1t is
good idea to select one color to dom
mate the wardrobe for season and
buy with railways in mind. This
makes more variety possible In COM

HAIG STRIKES MIGHTY BLOW.
Five Thousand Germans Captured
and Many Guns Taken.

In one of the most elaborately
planned and daringly executed ma,
neuvcrs of the war, Sir Douglas
Haig's forces have dealt mighty
blow against the German line in Bel
gium and been rewarded with nota
BILE gains in terrain and the capture
of more than 5000 prisoners and
numerous guns of various caliber.
In addition, they inflicted heavy
casualties IN H.. Germans.
Probably never in history was an
attack launched with greater prepa-
ration. Tnr days the Wytschaete sa-
lient had been the objective of the
British guns, which had hurled tons
of steel upon it. When the time for
the attack came the British loosed
mines containing 100000 pounds of
high explosives in front of the Ger
man positions. the detonations being
heard 130 miles away in England
With CONSERVATION reigning among
the Germans and under curtain of
fire, English. Irish, New Zealand
and Australian infantrymen. with
"tanks" to aid them, started across
the open.
The Germans offered only slight
resistance. and everywhere were
beaten off, even late in the afternoon
when they had somewhat regained
their composure and attempted tc
counter attack near the southern end
of the line. which was broken up by
the British artillery fire.

Officer Roland Appears at House in
"Buzzards' Roost" Neighborhood
and Arrests Inmates.

Officer Roland went to house in
the northeastern section of the city
yesterday and took charge of Martha
Myers, Violet Mason and William
Montague, all colored. The first
named was charged with conducting
a disorderly house, the Mason woman
with improper conduct and Monta-
que with vagrancy, it being also al
legcd that the latter was an attache
oe t!ir house and had been engaged in
securing patrons for it. Officer Ro-
land learned that soldier while in
the company of Violet Mason had
lost Sl4.75. He was however, unable
to get the soldier to appear before
the Police Court.
The trio upon heirg taken to the
station house announced their readi-
ness to leave collateral for their ap
pearance this morning. The two
women were told they would be lib
Grated if they left $50 each. This
they readily agreed to do, and placed
$40 upon the desk. Montague also
made deposit for his appearance.
When the case was calleed this
the Myers woman could not
be found. and she forfeited her de-
posit. Violet Mason supposed she
had left sufficient for any fine that
might be imposed upon her. but she
was disappointed when Justice Cation
sentenced her to serve the next sixty
days in the workhouse. The $50
she left yesterday was returned to
her.
Montague was next made to face
the court. He was sent to jail for
thirty days, subject to the roads.
Raymond McSweeney, charged with
being drunk. was not on hand and
forfeited 81 collateral.

APPEAL FROM GOVERNOR.

The Gazette is in receipt of the
following appeal from Governo,
Stuart of Virginia. with request fo,
its publication:
Richmond, Va, June 8, 1917
To the People of Virginia:
-Four Thousand Enlistments by
Saturday Night" is the slogan fol
the United States Marine Corps Re-
cruiting Week, June 10 to 16, 1917
Virginia's quota of this total need
ed to bring the Marine Corps to a
state of highest efficiency is only
sixty men. We ought to produce
twice the number.
The Marine Corps offers splendid
opportunities to young men who de.
sire to see service of the most effec-
tive sort, and to see it quickly. 1t is
older than our army. older than oul
navy. 1t has a gallant record cover
ing l42 years. and its members have
been in the thick of the fight ir
every expedition and action ir
which our navy has been engaged
They serve on sea and land, anc
are perhaps taught how to do more
different things than any other mer
in the service of the government ir
time of war.
I trust young men will be given en-
couragement to enlist next week, ant
that the States quota will be more
than supplied.
