MILITARY BAND
 WILL REPEAT FINE
 CONCERT TONIGHT
Immense Crowd Enjoys Bril- liant Concert and Gives Band Ovation-Director
 Robert Lawrence

The 10th infantry band, 8 strong L.. A. Plant conductor, came over from Camp Mcclellan yesterday and gave a brilliant concert at Capitol park last night before the largest crowd ever as- sembled in that popular community ral- lying place. It was the bands first visit to Birmingham and its reception was nothing short of an ovation
 The band was the guest of the Civic as- sociation with the local bar association for luncheon, and was the guest of the same association again at a o'clock dinner.
 The personnel of the band is made up of young men of fine talent and agree able manners and prominent citizens were glad to have them as their house guests.
 The band received a telegram from the commandant of the camp granting per mission to remain in Birmingham today and give another concert tonight, to which everybody is invited.
 Director Lawrence accompanied the band tp the city, and took part in the entertainment in the park, leading a select chorus of 200 or more stationed in the grandstand. The songs were all pa triotic It was a delightful affair and was signally inspiring.
 The people were eager listeners and those who sand did so whole heartedly. MT Lawrence will be on hand again tonight with list of familiar songs
 The band has an extensive concert repertoire, but with the exception of the William Tell' overture. and the selec- tion from Aida" the numbers on this occasion were in the popular and lighter vein, such as appeal to the average throng The Aida number was beauti- fully rendered and was cordially ap- plauded but in, the overture the flute and oboe were conspicuous by their absence, which detracted, of course from the color effects in the pastoral scene. Otherwise, this concert favorte was greatly enjoyed.
 The band made a distinct hit in the "American Patrol and in that litle gem, '.Pirouette Pas Seul.''
 An offering of rare artistic merit was the cornet solo, played by Sergeant Sid .ney Bent-"Heart and Hand" Rollin- som. The applause was most rapturous and Mr.. Bent was forced to respond to an encore.
 There will be an entire change of pro gramme tonight.

 GAS BOMBARDMENT
 The gas bombardment that precede1 l the infantry advance by the enemy be- gan at 12:40 o'clock this morning. The Germans had brought up additional eight-inch projectors to replace those destroyed by the American guns Mon- day night and mustard, phosgene and chlorine shells fell by the hundreds on the American positions Many of the Americans began to show the effects Of slight gassing and were harboriny q large groudge against the enemy
 When the gas shells began to fall there was hardly any wind making it certain that the fumes would remain in the locality where the Germa.ss placed them and the men in the Amor ican trenches hoped the enemy would follow up the shelling with an infan- try attack.
 The hopes of the defenders were fully realized and the result completely satisfied the Americans, for in one trench at daybreak this morning lay nine dead Germans who perished in the bayonet attack while to the east. where the men in the trenches lad gone to work with their machine guns, the ground was dotted with gray-clad bodies. Many of the machine gunners still wearing their gas masks stuck tu their guns throughout the preliminary pombardment and. when they saw tha advancing forms of the Germans just outside the American wire they cut

 Continuing his testimony, Captain Spen- cer said he wrote the article which con tained the alleged libel and which was based on letter from Marie Corelli. the novelist Last September he had heard of camarilla in financial circles, whose object was to get Asquith back in power and make a German peace. As a precau- ton he informed American naval head quarters so that the plot might be frus- trated
 Admiral Mayo and his secretary came to me and got the whole statement" he said.
 Asked whether he knew of operations of the camarilla between England and Germany. the witness replied:
 They have had messages sent between England and Germany with this intel ligence."
 One of the principal messengers, he learned from persons who had re- ported to the intelligence department was well known English society woman, Mrs. George Keppel. He had seen Mrs. Keppel come back from Hol- land.
