MR.. MARTIN IMPROVES.

The friends of Mr.. Jas. W. Mar
tin, who has been i'll at his home on
Greenville Street, for the last ten
days, will be glad to know that he
is steadily improving and hopes tt
be out again in a few days.
The readers of The Press and
Banner especially will be interested
to know of Mr.. Martin. For a
quarter of a century almost he was
one of the valued employees of this
institution. In the old days when
type was set by hand, Mr.. Martin
was one of the best, setting column
after column of type without ever a
mistake. In addition to. this he is
one of the most competent book
keepers we. have ever seen.
On account of his hath for the
last year or two Mr.. Martin has
not been in business, but we hope
that he will soon be able to come
back to The Press and Banner.

AGAINST. GERMANS
Exchange of Gains at
Some Points.
HUNS NOW LYING Low
In Region of Vaux Teutons Remain
In Seclusion After Two De-
feats.

With the American Army in
France, July 17.--The American
troops cooperating with the French
at a point where counter-attacks
were carried out yesterday were at
tackled again this morning by the
enemy, who by reason of the ma
ture of the ground was able to make
slight gains at some places, while at
others the Americans again pushed
their way back. The lines here have
been wavering back and forth for
the past "a hours and the result Of
the entire operation is indefinite.
In the region of Vaux, west of
Chateau -Thierry, conditions today
were normal. The Germans there
were lying low after the two minor
but nevertheless important defeats
they had sucered there in two con-
scutive days.
A downpour Of rain over the bat
tie zones between Chateau-T Thierry
and Dormans, on the Marne front,
has served to slow up the operations
since early this morning.
In the neighborhood Of. Fossoy,
the Americans further improved
their positionsc today.
Fighting continued throughout

ABBEVILLE PUTS
OUT THE LIGHTS

Thursday night, many residents
of Abbeville were considerably sur
prised when the lights went out at
ten o'clock. Many, who gave the in
cident more than a passing thought,
imagined that the slight rain had
: again put the electric lighting sys-
tenn out of commission. A few, be-
ing informed, knew that the city
was darkened purposely.
AS a matter of fact, a meeting
of women had been called by some
Of the mothers of boys in France
and had passed resolutions request
ing President Wilson to appoint a
certain time for universal prayer.
1t was also arranged that lights in
the city should be turned off every
night for one minute at ten o'clock,
as a reminder of the war and the
necessary assistance of God. By
arrangement with the churc rches, one
church will be open to those desir-
ing to pray for the troops and vic
tory every evening from six until
nine o'clock. The Methodist church
is the one chosen this week.
The Mayor has issued the follow
ing proclamation regarding the dark
ening of the city:
