Striving to Escape from the
Marne Salient
HAMMERED IN FRONT AND ON BOTH SIDES, SITUATION IS
PRECAR|OUS FOR THE HUNS
ASSOCIATED Press)

With the American Army on the
Aisne Front, July 22.-There are
everywhere today signs that the Ger
mans have been destroying material
and munitions in the pocket north OF
the Marne, between scissors and
Rheims, preparatory to the evacua-
ton of that entire area. This mes
sage was filed at Ais p. m.
The region Immediately south OF
Scissors forms the key to the Ger
man position, and here the enemy has
concentrated heavy forces for the
purpose of holding back the advanc-
ing tide of the Allies. The latter,
however, continue their progress, al
though the fighting is becoming heav-
ier each hour. They have taken a
large number of prisoners, the num-
ber being more than has been an
nounced, and new patches of cap
tives are arriving. The number of un-
wounded prisoners alone far exceeds
the total casualties of the allied
troops since the victorious advance
began.
The correspondent has seen long
column of these prisoners coming IN,
and from their appearance they were
certainly picked men.
The number of undamaged cannon
taken by the Allies is very large and
is constantly increasing, while at the
same time large quantities of ammu-
milton have been captured.
The advance of the armies COM
manded by Gen. Mangin and Gen.
Degoutte on this flank averages ten
kilometers, while Gen. Berthelot, who
is smashing at the other side Of the
pocket containing the defeated Ger
mans, is also progressing appreci-
ably. The French, Americans and
British are working in closest CO.
operation and with absolute conf
dence.
NO CHANGE LAST NIGHT
With the American Army on the
Marne Front, July % (By the Asso-
ciated Press) s).-Over-night informa-
ton does not indicate any radical
change along the battle front. The
prospects this morning seemed that
the day would be another of heavy
attacks and counter attacks with not
more than slight changes in the line.
The Franco-Americans are holding
almost every inch of ground they
have gained. The number of prison.
ers has increased by thousands and a
veritable mountain of captured and
abandoned material is in the hands of
the Allies. The British near Rheims
bagged many prisoners and machine
guns.

AMERICANS MARCHING ON
London, July 23.-Americans have
captured Jaulgonne on the Marne,
with 300 prisoners. The Americans
continue to advance.
FRENCH AND AMERICANS GAIN
ALL ALONG THE FRONT
The French began a new attack
this morning northeast of Montdidier,
according to advices here today. The
French are reported to have advanc-
ed mile on front of four miles. 1t
is thought on the basis of advances
that the attack in the Montdidier
region might be on wider front
than is mentioned.
| The Franco-Americans are continu-
ing their progress between the Ource
and the Marne. 1t is reported that
the French have recovered all the
ground lost last week near Grisolles.
It is reported the French stormed the
heights at Courcelles yesterday and
are holding the bend near Chassons
as far as Treloup The French h We
crossed the Marne east of Beuil. The
enemy counter-attacked heavily but
were beated off. The French CAP
tured Oulchy, 200 prisoners and four
teen machine guns.
MIX WHILE ON THEIR MISSION
OF MURDER
| Paris Correspondence of the
Associated Press That the burst
| ing charge of shells from the German
| long guns is mixed while the
projectiles are in actual fight is the
belief of French scientists, according
| to technical journal published here.
When the shelling of Paris began
| it was noticed that the explosion of a
shell produced cloud of black smoke
mixed with little that was white
and accompanied by strong smell Of
ether. Recently the smoke has been
entirely white and very light, the
ether odor persisting.
No shell that failed to explode has
been found, nor even an entire fuse
indicating how delicate and reliable
the explosive is. This fact leads ex-
perts to suppose that the shell is
charged with two liquid explosives
separated by the perforated partition
which is known to exist in the CEN
ter of the projectile-
When the shell is fired at high
angle the liquid in the upper enc
combines with that in the lower cham
Der. and churned by the violent ro-
tation, produces at the moment OF
impact, three minutes later, per-
/ feet mixture. This would explain, il
is said. the ability of the charge te
resist the enormous shock when freo
and the remarkable uniformity of the
explosions

STEAM TRAWLER ATTACKED
ARTHUR GUY EMPEY IN OCALA


One of the best war pictures yet
will be "Over the Top" which will be-
at the Temple tomorrow afternoon
and evening.
Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, who
fought two and half years on the
western front. before he was sent
home badly wounded. who wrote the
famous war book. "Over the Top"
and who has lectured all over the
United States and Canada, has the
leading part in the play. He is aided
by a supporting cast of exceptional
merit.
What adds to the interest of the
play is that many scenes in the pic
lures were taken at Camp Wheeler,
and those who see it may have the
good fortune to pick out some of their
personal friends. as the camera was
often focused on our soldiers in some
of their most spectacular battle drills,
particularly in scenes where the
charging line "went over the top"
There are eight reels in the picture,
and it will take two hours for each
run. The reels will start at 8, 5, 9 and
9 p. m. Admission, so cents; chill
dren under twelve, 25 cents.

EVERY PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN
OF MARION SHOULD EXUL1
LONG STANDING MORTGAGE THAT HAS BEEN HANG
ING OVER THE FAIR PROPERTY HAS BEEN LIFTED

Every loyal citizen of Marion coun-
ty should rejoice with the fair board
which has worked so hard to make it
possible to pay off the mortgage which
has hung over the fair grounds like
a cloud for SO many years.
The board desires to express it's
appreciation to the people of the
county whose contributions have made
the payment of this mortgage posi-
BILE, and also to the stockholders of
the Marion County Fair Association
who so generously turned over THEN
stock to The new association. which
is the Marion County Fair and Agri-
cultural Association, in order that the
Fair Association might really belong
to the people of the county.
There seems to be great deal of
misunderstanding in regard to the
new association and a word of expla-
nation here will not be out of place
possibly.
The Marion County Fair and Agri-
cultural Association is corporation
or institution, mot for profit" but
for the upbuilding of the county and
the benefit of it's people. It's prop
erty will be held in trust by board
of trustees the same as church or
hospital property. 1t will be gov
erned by board of directors elected
by delegates from the different pre-
cincts of the county. These delegates
will be elected by the people OF, the
precincts. In this way the Fair As
sociation will be truly from this time
on "For the People and by the
People,
We should be especially grateful
that we have been able to save our
fair property now, in as much as the
Government is urging the holding of
state and county fairs during the war
period, and is sending out five ex-
hibit trains over the states to exhibit
at the state fairs.
Mr.. John Mcmahon in speaking of
fairs in general says that "about the
time the heirs gathered to divide the
assets, fairs became rejuvenated."
This fits our case exactly and we are
truy rejuvenated. War with its many
discouraging and distracting features
cannot kill fair in good agricultu-
raj county fortunate enough to have
for sighted board blessed with back
bone and grit. Marion county was
fortunate in having both of these re-
quisites.
E Strenuous activity means rapid
growth always. It has meant siren
Gus activity to save the Marion
County Fair Grounds, as the officers
of the company will testify. But vic
tory rightly belongs to those with
greatest courage and power of endur
ance, and we are looking forward to
great victory, in the success of the
fair this year.
Let every man, woman and child be-
gin to plan to do all in their power to
aid in pushing this 1913 fair on to
certain victory and "over the top"
and beyond the hopes of the most
sanguine.
