1000 Prisoners Captured
Two thousand prisoners have been
captured by the British, according to
the official report tonight, in the
FLANDERS drive.
The Reuter- correspondent at Brit
ish headquarters has telegraphed the
following: Quite shortly after the
opening Of the attack one unit report
Cd so prisoners had come in, another
reported over 30. 1t is reasonable to
count upon a very considerable haul Of
prisoners.
Tanks were employed in limited
numbers, for the ground does not ia

The flying men are taking great

casion."

it is the incarnation of all earthly

When the parade is over there Is rest

pie until after dinner At l o'clock
the doors to the big show are opened
and one hour is allotted to visit the zoo

the big show begins, the military con-
cert band of fifty can be heard in
repertoire of classic and popular melo-

machinelike precision, which is obtain
ed only by rigidly enforced discipline
with certain punishment by fines or
dismissal following any infraction of
rules that cover every phase of action
and demeanor. Absolute sickness is the
only possible excuse for departure OF
any kind from the schedule. When the
afternoon performance is ended there
is another period of rest for all but the
side shows.
The evening performance begins at

Of removal The smaller tents for sta

which take part in the circus program
appear as early as possible that they
may get tucked away aboard the cars
for comfortable nights rest. AS fast
as a performer finishes a turn his APP
pliances are removed and when the

amid scenes Of hurry and hustle, their
platform is courage, strength, ambition

make the world brighter and the people
more happy by us having lived in It..
