Now PARTICIPATING.

- With the American Army on the
Marne. July 1.-THE American col
ored fighters who are aequitting
themselves splendidIy in the latest
drive of the Germans, are participat-
ing in the battle at their own request.
The colored troops were occupying
a quiet sector when word was re-
ceived that the enemy was about to
strike. The negroes immediately re-
quested that they be transferred to
the scene of the expected fighting and
their request was granted. This Is
tie first time the colored men have
seen heavy action and they are ac-
quitting themselves well.
Their commanding oficer. who Is
white, was in a hospital many miles
to the rear of the fighting lines suf-
fering from a broken ankle. When
he heard that the offensive had teen
resumed he summoned an automobile
and over the emphatic protests OF his
doctors he raced back to his organi-
zation which was already in action
and took command. Three officers
who had also been in bed in a hos
pital with influenza rejoined their
units.
The German attack was completely
broken up by artillery fire at the
particular point where the negroes
were in the line. The Boches were
held in their trenches at the very
outset OF their venture and the at
tackers suffered heavy losses.

King and Columbus Streets.

Alexandria. Va, July 17.-Argu-
ments will be made tomorrow morn
ing before the State Corporation
Commi ssion by the attorneys over
the petitions filed by more than 300
water consumers of the Alexandria
Water Company asking for a de-
crease in rates. and also on the pc
tition filed by the water company
asking an increase of water ates.
The original petition for a decrease
was filed more than two years ago
with the commission and about a
year ago the water company filed
one asking an increase. The engin-
eer ef the State Corporation Com
mission has recommended an increase
in the rates and in some instances
his recomme ndations double the pre-
vailing rates.
For instance, he recommends a min
imum of S12 a year for a single
spigot and the minimum at present
is Sc for such. Other increases also
are recommended. The average house
with bath equipment would cost se1.50
a year water rent if his recommenda-
tions are adopted and where the
house has a stationary wash tub the
cost would be 1850 a year.
: The citizens are worked UP over
the proposition and news from Rich
mond is awaited with keen Interest

be said that those who are interested
in the fate of Poland had hoped that
President Wilson, in his address of

question. The address, however. did

are encouraged to believe that the
aims of the allies and OF America. will
be expressed on this question at
