ANOTHER
DRIVE is
STARTED


LONDON, May Vigorous
German attempts to shake Field
Marshal Haig's grip on Arleux po-
sitions and lines to the south of
the Souchez river were all re-
pulsed, the British commander in
chief reported today.
British artillery and machine
gun fire stopped the enemy's as
saults. Around the Souchez sa-
lient the attack was repeated a
second time, with liquid fire em-
ployed by the Germans, but it was
likewise repulsed.
Bullecourt and Lens were the
two points most menaced by the
British offensive today. Bulle-
court is almost completely sur
rounded. Lens is more than half
encircled, the British gaining ev-
cry hour yard by yard to the
south.
The fighting at both places is
intense. At Fresnoy there were
indications today that the force
of the British offensive was slowly
wearing down the rock-like resist
ance of the Germans.
But while this greatest of allied
offensives was in progress on the
western front, dispatches today de-
tailed the successful start of an
other major push" in which
British troops are participating
This is in Macedonia.
British, French, Italian, Russian
and Siberian troops under Genaral
Serial have started their long
expected advance. Some gains
were made on a front of Two
miles, but one mile long section
of trench was retaken by the en-
envy.

WITH THE LAFAYETTE AIR
SQUADRON. FRENCH ARMY,
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, May
11.-France proposes to show
her appreciation of the American
flying squadron's work by giving
it the finest equipment OF any
similar corps in the French army.
1t was learned here today that
the Lafayette escadrille is shortly
to be re-outfitted with new
French war planes, which are the
highest-powered and the fastest
yet invented.
The Lafayette escadrille will
be glad to get the new machines
but they would be happier if
they could get American uni
forms. Not one of the members
has yet been able to ascertain
what sort of a uniform an Ameri-
can aviator is supposed to wear.
"Circus" After Them.
Edward Hinkle of Cincinnati, a
corporal in the squadron and a
graduate of the Paris Beaux Arts,
has designed a new symbol of the
corps, to be worn on the uniform
and painted on the planes.
The Germans have learned to
recognize it, and to concentrate
their aerial attention on downing
some plane with the American in
sigma.
A fine "grudge fight" is in the
making between the American
and a certain group of 10 Ger
man aviators. The 10 are never
sighted apart and they have been
nicknamed the "Circus" by the
Americans, from the peculiar bat
tie formation which they adopt.
They fly in a huge circle, their
machines alternately winging
high into the heavens and then
low to earth--exactly like the
horses on an American merry-go-
round.
Many MascOts.

Fine Concert By Miss Gardner

A large audience greeted Miss Ida
Gardner. the we'll known contralto in
Union hall, Wednesday evening, in a
unique recital in which she sang a duet
with herself, as her voice was repro
duced from an Edison record. The al
fair was for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the high degree of perfection Mr.
Edison has reached in the reproduction
of sound. At times Miss Gardner would
stop singing and it was nearly impos-
sible for the audience to tell from
whence the sound came the live artist
or her voice reproduced ON the machine.
Only the movement of her lips betrayed
her.
Miss Gardner is possessed of rich,
full contralto voice and every number
was well received
Miss Gardner was accompanied by a
representative of the Edison Company,
Mr.. Rudolph Polk, fine violinist, who
PLAYED the obligato in several of the
numbers. The concert as a whole was
artistic. refined and a musical treat to
those present. The program was as
