The sky was overloaded by noon. but
observation still was possible.
Increasing artillery fire from the Ger
man positions this afternoon indicated
their Intention TO make another tempo
rary stand on q line Of heights five or
six kilometers beyond the present Amer
lean line. The German guns which had
been comparatively inactive during the
early part Of the day began to shell the
American line in the afternoon and by
nishtfall q heavy bombardment OF the
advanced American position was In
progress.
Enemy Artillery Smashed.
Although II was known that there had
been brought to the positions in front
of the Americans full complement Of
artillery. a greater density Of artillery
than heretofore having been encountered,
the enemy failed to employ these guns
to anything like their full extent, con-
frming reports that the Germans do not
choose to night to a finish. ..
As the Americans plunged forward
after n terrible artillery preparation it
became evident that the German with
drawal was not the only reason for their
recently u rsftfced artillery fire, The
Americans found that battery after bat
terry had been put out OF action. a large
number OF the prisoners being those
taken from gun positions. The Amer
lean barrage had smothered the enemy
artillery more effectively perhaps than in
any previous offensive.
Most OF the prisoners were In isolated
attachments caught under the American
barrage. Many OF these surrendered
without resistance when the infantry
advanced. but In some Instances their
CAPTURE was a result or. the keenest
fighting. in which the Germans put up
a stubborn defence.

 "The strike against the Western Union alone is necessary because of that company's determination to de- stroy our organization. As Americans. we have no desire to be subjects of tyranny, and this strike will be justi- fable to the boys at the front because of it's purpose. It is the last resort to preserve our organization from anni- hilation."
 President Konenkamp said that he expected 5000 of 10000 of the com mercial telegraphers to quit. E. J. Thomas, chairman of the railroad telegraphers committee, said that 33,000 of his men would be affected. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, President Konen- kamp said, had pledged its assistance.

COULDN'T RUN, BUT
 THEY COULD FIGHT
Three Americans, Cut Off From Their Platoon, Dispose of a Superior Number of Germans in No Mans Land.

With the American Forces in Alsace, Saturday, June 29-American troops on the Alsatian front are learn ing what might be called the special ties of inactive days while awaiting work of wider scope. The Germans have found the overseas men facing them in so many places that they are pushing out patrols somewhat nerv- ously here and there with the object of trying to fix the exact limits of the American sectors.
 The Germans have not a monopoly on these expeditions. The Americans also are out every night studying the difficult lay of No Mans Land in the mountainous region. Clashes na- turally are frequent and the Germans are finding that the Americans are not as easy to deal with as they would wish, even when outnumbered
 Sergeant Dewey F. Slocum and Cor poral John c. Phillips, both of Grand Rapids, Mich, and Private Newton Bell of Muse Mills, Ky, were cut off from the rest of their platoon in one of these little fights at an advanced post and refused to surrender They could not run, but they showed that they could shoot. Private Bell ac counted for four of the enemy and the other American did nearly as well.
 The Germans then signaled for help and their artillery laid down a bar rage to hold the Americans until the Germans could reinforce their patrol but the patrol was driven away be- fore help came and the Americans crawled back through a curtain of fire and rejoined their platoon.

WELCOMING STRANGERS
TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Dc you want your community to be
noted for its hospitality? Then the
bes' way to get such name, is to
welcome each new conner as an old
friend, met after long separation.
OF course you can't slap the new
conner on the shoulder, saying Hello,
Jim, old boy, I'm glad to see you
back" No, let us greet them in a diff
ferent way.
Instead, let several families in the
Immediate neighborhood find out at
which time the newcomer will ar
rive. Then let each family decide on
some one or two dishes to contribute
to the strangers first meal When the
hour agreed on arrives, let each
Ircighbor send or carry her dish to
the newcomers, as token of greet
ings and welcome into the neighbor
hood.
In this way the strangers will feel
much more at home than if all the
had dressed in their best,
and stiffy called in the usual way. II
you don't believe it, just try and see.

MARTIN BECK AND WAR SONGS

(Memphis Commercial AppeaD
Martin Beck, who happens to be
the head of the Orpheum circuit OF
theatres, and who is something Of a
patriot, does not believe in doing his
duty halfway,
At the outset of the war he, after
conference with President Wilson.
who is vaudeville patron himself.
arranged with the various acts play
ing the circuit that at least one pa
triotic act or song should be featured
every week. He has himself financed
several very pretentious acts, well
calculated to stir the patriotism OF
those who are not as vigorous in well
doing as they should be.
Now Mr.. Beck has issued another
order prohibiting any actor or actress
playing the Orpheum circuit from do
ing ANYTHING that will have the least
tendency to make the war look hui
morous. and ban has been placed
on any parody of a war song or any
song based on a war subject of hui
morous nature.
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
cover There" 81 May Be Gone for
Long, Long Time" Pack Up Your
, Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" Its
Long Way to Berlin, But We viii
Get There" Where Do We Go From
, Here?" and songs of this character
can be freely sung because they are
: intensely patriotic and we're com
posed to stir the pulse, as music viii
, start the pulse of the most stupid.
Songs like 81 Don't Want to &c
! Home" "The Old Men Will Have
Hot Time Now That the Young Mer
Have Gone to War" and songs thai
, have a tendency to treat lightly Sc
, rious subject are forbidden.
These songs are in no sense dis
Ioyal. they are harmless, innocent
: humorous in their verse and tunefu
in their music, nevertheless they dc
make light of grave issues of war
The man who didn't want to get well
was nursed by beautiful Red Cross
nurse. Most of us will appreciate his
sentiments and possibly in our hearts
do not blame him so much, but al
the same time war is a terrible
thing and Red Cross nurses have
something else to do than fiirt with
wounded soldiers. The humor is
harmless enough but Martin Beck is
right in holding that this war is toe
big. too cruel, too terrible a thing tt
. make light of. While the songs car
do no possible good, therefore, Mr.
, Reck has ordered that they shall no
be sung again on the 0rpheum cir
cult or any other song that treats
lightly any phase of the war.
r Some are inclined to say that Mar

TO feel that he is doing exactly RICH
and we indorse his ruling.
