Red Cross Street Dance

From the interest taken BY those
who are fond of tripping the light
fantastic" we conclude that the street
dance last Saturday evening, given for
the benefit of the Red Cross fund,
netted the society substantial sum.
However, everybody that attended did
not dance, if they had the roped-in
area would have been too small to
permit of dancing. The onlookers had
as good a time as the partakers in the
dance and thereby the popcorn vendors
and the ice cream dispensers profted
not little.

FRANCE STRONGER THAN EVER.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 6.-France
is stronger today in fighting men and
war materials than at any time during
the war, despite three years OF terrific
combat of which the greatest share
among the allies has fallen to the
French armies.
This is the cheering message to the
American people given by Andre Tar
dieu, commissioner OF France in the
United States.
M..Tardieu says in his statement that
there are today nearly 3,0O0,0 900 French
troops in the zone Of the armies alone,
exclusive of those in the zone of the
interior and the colonies. That is
!, 000,0 900 more men than were used to
stem the German floodtide at the Marine
and the greatest number France has
ever mustered in the fighting zone.
The commissioner adds that the force
can be maintained "for a long time
to GOMEZ
He shows that French "definitive
casualties" in killed and prisoners have
dropped from Sal per cent of all mobil-
lied forces at the battle of the Marine
to 1.28 per cent during the last six
months of 1916: that France is holding
574 kilometers of 739 lsilometers on the
western front.
