AMERICANS TAKE
JU VIGNY;; DRIVE
.ON and CAPTURE
800 PRISONERS
Germans Fought Bitterly
to Hold Position North
or Scissors
Gunners Able to Sweep the
Country Over a Wide
Radius
(By Associated Press.)

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 2.-The American
troops in their drive beyond Juvigny
last night and today, advanced about
two miles and captured nearly 500
prisoners. together with considerable
war supplies.
Juyigny, the ruins OF a village north
OF Scissors. that the Germans fought
SO desperately to retain, is now well
within the American lines. It was
taken late Friday, but not until now
has the publication OF details Of it's
capture been permitted.
The Americans consolidated their
positions to the east Of Juvtgny last
night and tonight, after making fur
-ther progress during the day, they
control the zone considerably in ad-
vance OF the village. The American
artillery dominates the country for
many miles to the east, and the Ger
mans apparently have been left with
slight chance OF effective resistance
until they reach the broken terrain
around NeuviIle.
The extension OF the line through
Juvigny was dramatic incident. The
German officers were outmaneuvsred
and their men were outfougllt.
Enemy machine guns proved a ter
ribie barrier to the progress of the
Americans, but it was not enough,
and when all was over the Germans
unwittingly added a final touch Of
tragedy when they dropped a high
explosive shell into the midst Of 1877
prisoners that the Americans had re-
moved to the rear. Five German cap
tives were killed and scores were ter
ribly wounded.
When the objective Of General
Perahing's men finally was attained,
the Germans within the town we're
caught mapping. The Americans had
managed completely to encircle
them. German machine guns and
trench mortars all were pointed TO
the west and northwest, but the as
saiIants appeared out OF an arc drawn
about their rear.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION CALLS ON CITIZENS
 ID PUT OVER SING
Letters Mailed Out Asking Financial Backing-Sing Will Be Conducted Sun-
 day, It Is Believed

The Civic association has mailed letter to practically every citizen of Birmingham in an effort to arouse them to the value of the community sings in order that they may be con- tinued.
 The executive committee announces that the sing will most likely be held on next Sunday, and that the senti- ment of the public will be sounded out at this sing, which will decide whether they will be continued or not.
 The letter sent out by the Civic as- sociation follows:
 '"rhe community music sings, which have been so much in evidence for the past year, and at which the attend ance has averaged over 5000 persons per Sunday, are about to fall through on account of lack of financial aid.
 You are, no doubt, aware that the spirit uppermost at these sings is 1T. the highest sense patriotic; and 1t Is the sense of this committee of the Civic association, that it is one of the neces- sary war measures of the community that these sings be continued.
 we, the committee appointed to make an effort to perpetuate these sings during the term of the war. feel that if the object of the sings be placed properly before the employers of la- Dor in this district, they will be willing to appropriate a sufficient part of their welfare fund to take care of the Sit uation, and with this idea in view we, the committee, will ask that you ad- dress our chairman a letter giving your views on the subject.
 "The city commission has already appropriated and spent about 5000 in the interest of this movement by build ing the amphitheatre in which the meetings are held; but on account of the present financial condition of the city, they are unable to make any fur ther appropriations.
 "It must be obvious to you that our labor be made as contented as possible, and our observation convinces us that these sings have been one of the best means of maintaining such content ment among our home working classes. Trusting that you or anyone else interested in this highly patriotic work will so advise the chairman of this committee at your earliest convenience, we are, yours respectfully.

MANY YOUNG MEN
 SEEK JOBS IN WAR
 WORK INDUSTRIES
Work or Fight Order Brings Many Applicants to U. $. Employment Bureau.
 Call for Laborers

Since the work or fight order of the war department went into effect the local office of the United States employment service has been overrun with young men within the draft age seeking jobs in essential industries. They come mostly from stores where they held clerkships and from soft drink stands, and they are without experience in any trade or work that would fit them for positions that are open
 B. S. Samuel and Lewis Bowen, exam iners at the local office, stated yes terday that since the first of July they have had an average of 25 applicants from this class of young men. In nearly every instance they had given up their old jobs expecting to go to work some- where else immediately they had ap- piled at the employment office.
 There are plenty of jobs for all of the young men who have applied to us, said Mir. Samuels, but they are not the kind of jobs the applicants want. We have more calls for laborers than we can fill, but these young men do not want to work as laborers, and they are not qualified for any other kind of work that we can give them"
 MT. Samuels said he had received orr ders for a large number of young men within the last day or two and it is possible that these former clerks and soft drink jerkers could fill these po- sitions. At any rate, he wants them to call and see him again and talk the matter over.
 The resignations of the clerks and soft drink dispensers has left their former employers short-handed They are breaking in young women and girls as fast as they can, but it Is a big job, and up to the present they have not been able to secure as many of these as they need. A male soft drink dis penser is an exception in these days, tour of score or more of these places in the bushes district yesterday disclosing not more than half dozen, and they were boys under the draft age
 Young women and girls are rapidly supplanting the men and boys as ele- vator operators. At the TutWiler hotel, the Chamber of Comerce, the First Ma tional bank, the Jefferson County bank. the Empire, and other big office build ings the elevators are now operated by women and girls
 In the meantime, several scores Of the young men who have given up their jobs because of the work or fight or der are waiting for something to turn up
