July 2-(1O:55 a. m.)-American troops
advanced on two mile front west of
Chateau-Thierry last night to the depth
of half a mile, taking 450 prisoners
and inflicting the heaviest losses on
the enemy. The American losses were
extremely light Our men took the vii

The hills are very important, domi-
mating Chateau-Thierry, as well as the
country to the left.
Perfect cooperation between the ar.
tiilery and infantry made the Ameri-

of the German line were unusually well
adopted to defensive purposes.
Twelve Hours of Smelling

forest fire seasons in its history.
With the prospect for rains after July

1t had been the intention to have
the convicts cut wood on the Porter
place next winter but the governor
said there would be no eonvicts that
could be taken into the woods.
The Porter contract runs for two
years. 1t is estimated there will be
10000 to $4,000 cords to cut. 50 with
the penitentiary falling down on its
agreement to cut the wood, bids were
received for having the work done by
