as much in winning the war as the
men who carry guns. ,-

has been named to head a board
which will decide on the awards of
flags and medals. Serving with him
will be F. W. Wood, former !. vice

SOISSONS GIVEN UP,
RHEIMS MAY FOLLOW
Official Communication rom Berlin
Claims Twenty-Five Thousand
Prisoners, Including Two
Generals.

In their violent attack on the 3d.
mile battle front running from
Scissors eastward to the region
northeast of Rheims, the German
armies are continuing to force back
the French and British forces on
nearly every sector.
The fortified town of scissors,
the extreme left flank of the allied
battle line has been occupied by the
enemy, although the French are
still holding tenaciously to its west
ern environs, through which emerge
the railway lines leading to Paris
!. and Compeigne. ..'. g..
According to the official German
communication $4,000 prisoners,
among them a French and British
general, have been taken and num-
erous additional towns and vantage
points all along the front have been
!. captured.
Seemingly Rheims, like Scissors,
also is doomed to fall into the hands
of the enemy, as the French war
Office reports that the troops cover
ing the famous cathedral town have
been withdrawn behind the Aisne
Canal northwest of the town.
3 "a Twelve Miles Forward.
On the sector directly southeast
of Scissors the Germans now are
fighting relatively IL miles from
where they started their drive Mon
day from Vauxiallon, while near
Loupeigne and in the vicinity of
Savigny, wedges have been driven
into a depth of approximately Is
miles.
Interest in America.
=. Of almost as great interest as the
J Aisne battle is the situation around
s the little town of Cantigny, where
: the Americans made a notable gain
in their first "solo" attack against
the Germans Tuesday. Numerous
counterattacks have been launched
against the Americans holding Can
tigny and the outlying positions, but
all of them have met with the same
result-failure and the loss of many
men killed or wounded. Evidently
the Americans are prepared to dis
pute to the last degree their occu-
pancy of the high ground they have
won. ..-
Unstinted praise has been shower
ed upon the Americans by military
officers for the dash and daring they
result-failure and the loss of mnay
es and started out in quest of their
'objectives. Still another defeat has
been inflicted on the enemy by the
Americans-this time far to the
east, in the Toul sector.

REAL SERVICE IS
 GIVEN AT LOWELL

We recently picked up a little ad- vertising folder. published by the Will lard Storage Battery company which impressed us strongly by it's evident sincerity. It is called "Our Idea of Service" and is signed by Mir. Willard himself.
 One thing he says in hiss tatement seems to sound the keynote of mod ern, broad-minded, present-day busi- ness.-"When we are wrong we ad- init it,-when the customer is wrong we must prove it" These sixteen words seem to typify the successful business man-big enough to volun- tarily accept the burden of proving when he is right.
 And" says Wright the local Will lard representative, "Mr. Willard not only means every word he says but he insists that his Service Stations live up to the standard he sets"
 Mir. Willard and the Willard Stor- age Battery company were among the first to realize the necessity oc na- -ion-wide service on important auto mobile accessories. Willard Service Stations are now established in all parts of the world.-over eleven hun dred of them-and in every one you will find the same high character of service which is given at Lohman & Wright. right here in Lowell.

Road Conditions in County
 Reported Benefit AutOists

The condition of the various roads in Cochise county have been material ly improved during the past few days by the recent rains In all sections the road gangs are out with the drags and are doing excellent work. and with a few more rains to settle the first drag or two they will be in first class condition. Road gangs are work ing on three roads out Of the Warren district
 For the benefit of the autoists who wish to make a Sunday trip into the surrounding country to spend the day the Review intends to make a weekly summary of the conditions of the roads which will be published every Sunday morning.
 From Bisbee.
 The road to Douglas is not in good condition. From here to the Forrest ranch there are a number of bad places and numerous small ruts. The road from Forrest ranch to Forrest station is not in the best of condition, the road bed has been worn down and sharp rocks stick up that are hard on tires. From Forrest station to Douglas the first part of the road on what is called the Slag portion IS hard on tires and most machines use the dirt road along side of the grade. In using this road care should be used in not speeding as there are a number of drain ditches that would break springs if crossed With speed.
 The roads to the valley are fairly good but autoists should take their chains along as the valley has been flooded in a number of places and plenty of mud is reported in spots.
 The road to Naco will soon be open edand the recent rain will put it in good shape To Hereford the road IS good but from Hereford to the noun tains there are number of bad places and care should be used at night as there are several places washed out by the recent rains. This rule should be followed by all drivers during the rainy season as there is no telling how soon a road might be washed out in an hour and leave bad holes which could not be seen after dark. Keep your lights in good order during the rainy season.
 The road to Tombstone is now like a paved road It has been wet by the rain and all dust removed and next week will see the roaG opened up to the big bridge site near Tombstone. The new grade that has not been open ed is now being worked with drags and as soon as the small bridge at the old camp is completed this road will be opened and it will be a very pleas
