The American advance into the St.
Mihiel salient has now reached a
depth of eight miles, it was learned
this afternoon. The Germans are
blowing up ammunition dumps at
Hattonville in the middle of the
pocket.
Latest reports of territory taken
by the Americans indicate that the
neck of the salient has been narrow
ed to less than six miles. If two
German divisions still remain in the
pocket their escape IS decidedly i'm
probable.
Dispatches from the front show that
the number of prisoners taken by the
Americans now totals $500. The Amer
leans are making progress so rapidly
that the situation is changing momen-
tarily. They are reported to have taken
! Nigneulles in the center of the salient.

theatres. concerts, cabarets and like
places amounted to $4,524,9 1896. indi-
eating that the American poole spent
approximately $45,000,OOO on such
amusements during the month. In
February taxes from the same sources
totalled s3,70S.0 900. indicating an ex-
penditure of approximately $4,000
900.
THE eight per cent tax on passen-
ger fares during May yielded $3,723.-
800, which shows that approximately
$40. $4,000 was spent in travelling
during the month. During February
the same tax raised for the treasury
s4,465.2OO, representing expenditures
for travelling of $55,S20,00O.
