cations OF which are less than ten
miles distant.
Thiacourt, Bouillouville, Pannes
and several other towns in the south
were captured in the initial dash,
while on the west at the northern
edge of the pocket, the village of
Combres was captured and the en-
virons of Decentralization
were reached To the south every
where the Americans penetrated into
the heights of the Mouse and the
French fought their way into tie out
skirts of St. Mihiel Unofficial reports
are to the effect that the town has
been recaptured by the French.
The fighting front at the commence
ment Of the battle aggregated twenty
miles-eight miles on the western
side and twelve miles on the southern
side. The fighting was preceded by
an extreme heavy artillery lombard
ment and the troops and tanks under
barrage which was carried out with
mathematical precision.
From the war maps it would seem
almost impossible for the Germans to
eyacuate the salient as they apparent
ly are trying to do without huge
losses in men and material. The first
reports show that the Americans took
700 prisoners in the first stages OF
the battle and had suffered remark
ably small casualties.
The strategy of Marshal Foch in
the present maneuver cannot be fore
seen except that it has as the first
objective the dwelling of the St Mihiei
sector and the Strengthening of the
Allied line from the region of Yer
dun eastward. The obliteration of the
salient would be necessary before a
direct thrust toward German territory
from this region would be possible. f!
Whether Marshal Foch has in view
campaign up the Mouse valley or
Metz. and the Moselle valley in mind
remains to be seen.

LAST LAP PASSED
IN PREPARATION FOR
EVENT TOMORROW

Let everybody remember that the
program will be literally carried out
on schedule time. The grand parade
of the minstrel troup of eighty stars,
accompanied by Souther Field Mill
tary Band will begin at p NJ. and
traverse all streets in business section
of the city and all citizens who reg
istered for military service yesterday
are asked to join in.
AS conclusion of street parade, the
wonderful mid-air acrobatic stunts
sill be the second attraction on the
nrogram. This feature will be fur
nished by q large number of expert
fvers from Souther Field and will be
intensely interesting and thrilling.
This will conclude the afternoon
program. Promptly at seven o'clock
Lamar street, from Cotton avenue to
Hamilton. will be closed, and curtain
ed off. An admission fee of fifty
cents will be charged and twenty-five
cents extra for reserved seats. The
admission fee of fifty cents admits to
the great minstrel show and street
dance. The curtains will rise on this
great aggregation of burnt cork ar
lists promptly at SIS and as soon as
the show is over, the dancing will be-
gin and continue until midnight. The
best of music will be furnished by
Souther Field Brass Band.
The best of order will be preserv-
ed. The streets will be lighted and
every one who attends will have a
jolly good time.
The entire net proceeds Will b
given to the local Camp Confederate
Veterans. Let's make it big enough
to be worth while. Every person con
tributing in any way to this great anc
unique program is doing so cheerfully
and without pay. This is sure to be
the greatest day of its kind Americas
has ever seen.
