 Visitors attending the breakfast will be shown two storerooms, filled with more than a thousand purple. yellow and white banners. d great pile of poles, yards of muslin and cans of paint-materials for future demonstrations.

 In general way. 1t is known that a considerable period must elarse be- fore the troops can be thrown into the trenches. Vast problems of stra- tegic campaigns, of political efforts to be sought and of supplies and supply lines must be worked out. The men fresh from the tropics or from the Mexican border, must be carefully ac- climated.
 Admittedly, the main purpose of sending the force in the brief period that was allowed to make ready and get them across was political It is understood to have been the senti- mental rather than practical argu- ments advanced by members of the French and British commissions which influence the Washington government to dispatch General Pershing and his men.
 The great need of the moment, as explained by Marshal Joffre and lis British associates. was to send force with the flag at once, to show the people of France. straining under the great burder of war. that friend was at hand.
 There will be no letup to the effort to keep the force now in France ful- ly supplied with everything an army needs. When other divisions may be sent has not been announced, but the work of making them ready is going ahead day and night in every section of the country

CANADIAN FORCES
 AGAIN ADVANCE IN
 VICINITY OF LENS

Canadian Headquarters in France, June 2S.-Fighting their way forward amid a labyrinth of ruined houses over which the smoke of battle hung densely, the Canadians at sundown tonight were more than half way through Avion. The attack, which was the second in 24 hours, was made in conjunction with the British troops, all of whom reached their objectives.
 There was comparative calm for short time before o'clock. When the appointed time came on front of many miles from the Scarpe to a point well to the north of Souchez river hundreds of guns opened in a terrific cannonade. Soon Reservoir hill, Lens itself, Avion and the re- zion to the south were hidden behind an almost impenetrable veil of smoke from bursting shells. Amid this the infantry, who had remained inactive throughout the day, rushed forward.
 New York. June 2S.--From cables received. the Associated Press makes, the following sdmmary of Lhe news from all the battle fronts:
 The Canadians--men from all parts of the dominion--have taken another hack at the German lines protecting Lens, the coal center in the department of Pas de Calais, and have been re- warded with a further encroachment mon tbeir Ohjectiya
 Striking on a two-mile front south of Lens the Canadians. from Nova Scotia, central Ontario. Manitoba and British Columbia, protected by effect i've curtain fires stormed and car- tured German first line positions be- fore Avion and also the village of Leauvette. They defeated in the nn- slaughts men of the crack Trussian guard and the Fifth grenadier guards whose machine gun and rifle fire was of the fiercest character.
 The fact that the attacking forces had to cut through wire entanglements could not stay them
 When the battle ended and the Can adians began their work of consoli- dating newly won positions. their line had been extended to within one mile of the center of Lens, the fall of which under such tenacious assaults as have been made recently seemingly cannot be long delayed.
 On the remainder of the front in France there have been only bonn bardments between the French .nd the Germans. In Belgium the Germans are carrying out heavy bombsrdments of French and Belgian positions at num- erous points from the sea southwark In attacks south of St. Georges the Germans entered French trenches, but later were elected from them, suffer- ing heavy casualties.
 Only minor operations are in prog ress on the other fronts. In the Rus sian theatre the fighting is still spir- ited in Galcia. In the Austro-Gtalian zone infantry attacks have again ceased for the moment and only ar- tillery duels are taking place. Patrol engagements and artillery duels con tinue to feature the fighting in Mace donia.

 Senator Chamberlain in charge of the bill, said tonight he hoped general speech making would end tomorrow and that the Senate by Saturday would begin consd- ering committee amendments, expected to take several days. The prohibition sec tions under such procedure would be reached last.
 Senator Johnson, opening the debate on the substitute bill. declared it's enactment necessary to win the war.

COOPERATION BETWEEN
CITY AND COUNTY.

Through the courtesy of the Mayor
and Council, and Board of Lights and
Waterworks of the city of Marietta,
Cobb County will be furnished in the
future lights and water for the court
house, and all Offices therein, also the
Aims House and Convict Camp, at
the old fair grounds, free of charge.
This will be saving to the county
of almost $4,000 per month. The
city officials and members of the
Board of Lights and Waterworks felt
that this concession should be made
to the county for the reason that the
county authorities have recently per-
mitted few of the county convicts
to help do permanent street work in
Marietta.
Every good citizen should heartily
commend our city and county Off
Gals in this matter. 1t is evident that
they are trying to work together for
the best interest of the people and
taxpayers of the whole County, re-
CARELESS of whether they live in the
city or county.

SOLDIERS CHANGED
At ARTILLERY
RANGE
One Battalion Goes Back to
Camp Gordon; Anoth.
er One Comes In.

On Thursday the battal ion of the
320th Artillery which has been at
the big gun range near town re-
turned to Camp Gordon and another
battalion of the same regiment came
to take it's place.
The boys who have been with us
were fine gentlemanly lot, and
made many friends in our little city
by their good department and man
ners. We trust that the newcomers
will at once make themselves at home
in our midst, for we have no reason
for any other than the warmest
friendship for them and shall do all
we can to make their short stay here
a pleasant one.
We want them to know that our
churches and our homes are open to
them.
The Page residence which is being
used by the Y. M. C. A. for the SOL
diers, is in charge of Army Secre-
tary Briggs. The rooms have been
fitted up and made homelike by the
various churches of our city.
Our work for the boys should not
cease there and we ask the personal
interest of each citizen in their COM
fort and welfare.

A THEATRE THAT
DESERVES CREDIT.

Few of us realize the great superb
ority of the bill each week at The
Strand, over that shown in other
cities much larger than Marietta.
In fact the variety makes the bill
superior to the bill of the city play
houses.
Absolutely no expense has been
spared to produce the finest pictures,
and a glance at the bill for any day
will show the character of the films
being run.
A particularly fine series of films
is on the bill for the current and
next week.
One of these is from Halifax, show
ing the terrible havoc wrought in
that i'll fated city by disastrous ex-
blossoms.
The brightest stars of the movie
world are all familiar faces to the
patrons of The Strand, and Mr..
Marchman should have the thanks
of the community for the clean, high
class show he is giving Marietta.
Few indeed are such places, of
which so much praise can be truth
fully spoken, and it pleases the Edi-
tor to voluntarily record this merited
recognition.
May its patronage increase to the
limit is our earnest wish.

VANDALISM.

The Waterman Street school is
closed until January 7th, and it will
have to keep open in May one week
longer on account of this.
1t was the work of some one at
present unknown to the authorities,
who caused this early closing. On
Sunday night the electric switchboard
in the school was wrecked, and the
large leather belt that runs the fan
for ventilating the building, was re-
moved.
Whether the belt was stolen by
some one, or taken away and hidden
by some illguided student, is not
known. In either case it would fare
badly with the guilty ones should
they be apprehended.

A BONE DRY NATION
IS PUT UP TO
THE STATES
Prohibition Bill Passes Con
gress By More Than
Needed Majority.

On Monday the House of Repre-
sentatives in Washington voted 2Sz
to 1913 to submit to the states the
question of Bone Dry Nation.
The resolution passed by the house
gives the states seven years in which
to ratify the amendment. On Tues
day the Senate also passed the reso-
luton and as the Presidents approx
al is not required the matter rests
entirely with the states.
Congressman Webb, of North Caro-
lima, led the fight in the house, while
Senator Sheppard of Texas led the
fight in the Senate, and it was a
complete victory for the pT'ohibi-
tionists.
A wild demonstration followed the
vote, such as had not been seen in
years.
The law will become operative
when two thirds of the states shall
have ratified it.
