David Sncllcnburg addressed the
monthly meeting cd the Mems Club of
st. Aniew's Episcopal Church, last night
in the parish house, at Eighth and Orange
streets. He outlined his view as to ways andf
means for making Wilmington better.
He advocated cleaner city physically and
in every other way, and thought that if
all good citizens would work together
and actindependent of political affiliations,
in matters of city government, we would
have a better city, and he hoped that this
result will show itself by the time the
soldiers return from France. He found a
thoroughly receptive, interested and ap-
proving audience, which gave him hearty
vote of thanks for his suggestions. A
general discussion followed Mr.. Snellen-
burg S talk, his remarks being the subject,
showing the interest they excited.
During the evening the Orpheus Singing
Society, which meets in the building, joined
the club and furnished some very good

mans deserve every credit for the secret
manner in which they brought up their
troops the night before the attack. Only
two hours Of artillery and mortar fire
effectively cut the wire defenses.
The first day Of the assault, the Grown
Princes army advanced 70 miles, over
running the French lines and crossing
the Aisne, in an effort to cut the Paris
Chalons railway, and to widen the sal
lent he had created. Considerable sue
cess attended his efforts in the center,
but he was frustrated on the TANKS.
It is not fair to blame the Allied COM
mand for the reverse. 1t was the out
come Of an inherently unfavorable
strateglcal situation. With a numeri-
cally superior army, the Allies can not
have adequate reserves at all threatened
points, which would be the only meth
cd Of preventing initial German suo-
cesses.
The American attack at Cantigny has
caused considerable favorable comment
by the Allied military authorities. II

be all the more applauded because the
