FRENCH CHASING THE GERMANS BACK
Attack Along 25-siile Front, Take Towns and Prisoners and Endanger Entire Hun Salicnt-A
 Strategic Move.

Paris, July 1S.-The French attack ed this morning from the River Asne, south, to the region of BelIeau, front of 25 miles, and made progress at points of from one and one-haIf to two miles, according to an official statement this afternoon by the war office.
 The situation along the Marne and Champagne fronts remains un- changed, according to the official re- port.
 Early in the advance, the prison CTS taken in the movement by the French began coming in.
 The northern point of the attack is the town of Fonteroy, mile north of the River Aisne.
 Tn fighting in front of the German offensive, the French last night stop ped the Germans in the face of vio- lent attacks which the enemy launched southeast of Nantuil, be- tween the Marne and Rheims. Beyond Rheims. east of the Vesle river, an. at- tacks by the German guard units was repulsed.
 The French have recaptured Mont voiski, south of tine Marne, at the point where the Germans had ad- vanced the furtherest toward Eper- nay.
 Chenela and Refine also were re- taken by the French, as we'll as the heights west of these villages.
 Strategic Move.
 This mornings attack by the French apparently represents an inn portant strategic move by General Foch to counter the German blow further south along the Marne and on the line to Reims.
 The sectors in which this mornings attack was launched include the part held by the Americans. The success of the allied drive could mean that the entire salient created by the Ger mans would be seriously endangered
 This front is said to be the logi- cal one for Foch's offensive It's suc- cess would pinch off the entire Marne salient, but whether or not this is planned is as yet unknown.

OVERMAN BILL PASSED THE
SENATE

Washington, April 30.-Rejecting
all amendments designed to limit the
presidents authority, the Senate last
night passed the Overman bill, with a
general grant of power co-ordinating
reorganizing government departments
and other agencies during the war.
The vote was SO to Is. The measure
now goes to the House.
The action of the Senate is regard
ed as a complete success for the adj
ministration. Only one democrat,
Reed of Missouri, voted against the
bill. The republicans voting against
it were Brandegee, Cummins, Dilling-
ham, France, Callinger, Harding,
Poindexter, Johnson of California,
Knox, Sherman, Sterling and Suther-
land. Twenty-Five republicans voted
for the bill. The four senators of Flor
ida and Georgia were recorded for it.
Early consideration of the bill in
the House is planned by administra-
tion leaders, although demand of the
limitation of the presidents authority
is expected to be renewed in that
body. Ultimate enactment of the
measure as substantially passed by
the Senate is expected.
In the final onslaught against the
measure in the Senate all the amend
ments opposed by administration
leaders were rejected. Senator Smith
of Georgia, did not press his substi-
tute bill proposing to limit the legis-
lation of executive and essentially
war agencies.

PEOPLE OF MARION
Are Ready to Give their Supply of
Flour to the Food
Administration

In response to the call of Food Com
missioner Camp, large number OF
citizens, men and women, of Ocala
and Marion county came together at
the Temple this morning. Mr. Camp
called the meeting to order and read
communication from Mr. Braxton
Beacham, federal food administrator,
requesting the meeting, also a tele-
gram saying that the letters had been
sent out through misunderstanding
in his office.
Mr. Camp said that the government
had not asked the public to do with
out wheat, but it was up to the peo-
pie to do as they saw fit. The mer-
chants at previous meeting had
agreed not to sell flour or wheat pro-
ducts if the people desire it.
Mr.. L. w. Duval offered the follow
ing resolution
The people of Marion county, Flor
ida, in mass meeting assembled, ap-
preciating the liberties purchased with
the blood of their forefathers, vouch-
safed to them by the declaration of
independence and the constitution,
and preserved to them by the suffer-
ings and sacrifices of their fathers,
and desiring to assure the national,
state and county food administration
of their loyalty, do hereby resolve
that
Whereas, the people of Marion
county stand ready to make every
sacrifice that will aid and sustain our
government in this war that victory
may speedily come; and
Whereas, there is a pressing neces-
sity for saving wheat that our SOL
diers and sailors and those of our al
lies may have sufficient supply of
-four; therefore, be it
Resolved, That Marion county does
hereby offer to surrender to the ma
tional food administration her May,
June, July and August supply of
wheat flour, such offer to become eff
fective in such manner and at such
time as the administration may deem
necessary.
Mr.. Duval explained that the reso-
luton is simply an offer to surrender
our -four whenever the national food
administrator sees fit, and expressed
the opinion that the people of Marion
county would not be guilty of selling
their birthright for a mess of pottage.
Rev. G. A. Ottmann, Mr.. E. L.
Wartmann, Citra, Col. R. L. Anderson,
Mr.. R. w. Blackjack, Mrs. d. E. Nc
Iver, Mr.. c. P. Howell, Lowell, Mr..

Mr.. w. J. Crosby, Citra, Mr.. M. L.
Payne, Fairfield, Mrs. E. L. Howell
Oak, and Mrs. j. R. Moorhead spoke
in support of the resolution, which
was unanimously adopted by a rising
vote.
1t was announced officially that the
local food administrator had received
reports of sales of -four by local mer.
chants and only in one case had g
customer sought to duplicate his
order; in other words, get more thar
the regulations allow him.

London, April 30-The French hold
the entire village of Locre, west of
KENNEL Hill, it is officially announced.
During the night the British advanced
their line east of the Villers-Breton-
neux front before Amiens. In the vi
cinity of Locre, the French by counter
attacks drove the enemy from the re-
mainder of the ground he gained in
the morning. The Germans having
been repulsed all along the northern

parative quiet.

AGAIN THE HUNS
ARE HELD Up
Lost Men by the Thousands Yesterday
i'm Vain Attempt to Break
Allied Lines
(Associated Press)

London, April 29-According to
General Haig's report tonight, the
British, French and Belgians have re-
pulsed a powerful attack of the Ger
mans, inficting heavy casualties.
- A BITTER DAY
With the British Army in France,
April 29.-This has been one of the
bitterest days fighting Flanders has
seen since the present offensive began.
Since early morning the enemy has
been hinging great numbers of Ger
man troops against the Allies, with
the hills east of Mount KENNEL as the
ultimate objective. When the CORES
pondent left the battle front the Ger
man commander had nothing to show
for his pretentious drive, except a
long list of dead and wounded.
Germany's armies are hurting them
selves against granite wall on three
sides of the ruined city of Ypres. At
ter fighting of most terrific nature
the British and French lines are in
tact, and the enemy has lost terribly
in the repeated assaults.
The objective is the capture of
Ypres, held by the British since 1914.
The Allies occupy the same lines held
in 1915, when the first German drive
toward the channel ports stopped.
The present battle opened on a
front of twelve miles from Meteren
to Voormezeele. The Belgians were
later involved to the north. Only in
the hilly section back of KENNEL hill,
held by the French. did the Germans
make gains but were later driven out,
the French re-establishing their lines
of defense.
These bloody repulses of the Ger
mans will mean much further opera
tions in that sector. Along the Somme
sector, partly held by the Americans,
there has been little notable fighting.

wasn't encored it brought a crash OF
applause that made the other utter
ances of the evening sound rather
dim.
The house. was well pleased when
Mrs. Ketehum treated it to one of her
pretty solos, and recalled that charm
ing lady who has taken high place
among our sweet singers.
The Sally SNOWFALL & Co. jig dane
ers won great favor with the audi
ence. These were the six charcoal
blossoms already mentioned with the
graceful addition of Miss Lucille Gis-
sendaner. Miss Gissendaner was the
only boy in the cast. She was most
deceivingly made up, but when her
heels began to twinkle her friends
knew her at once.
Mrs. Osborne and Miss Connor came
in well on the dancing. An oldtimes
said Mrs. Osborne's heels went like
they had been trained on many barn
floor in cornshucking times.
Susan B. Walker, a militant suffra-
gist, laid down the law to the crowd
and made the mems souls shrink up.
But they were reassured when Susan
walked off the stage, for finding it
warm she pulled off first her bonnet
and then her hair, revealing that gen.
ial chin to neck smile of Albert Gerig.
The snowballs also, with the assist
ance of Mrs. McIver brought in some
thing that would have been charade,
only it wasn't. 1t was a big "Buy
Liberty Bonds" sign. which they
stretched clear around the stage.
The "Johnsing Sisters" the fair
Trilbyana, reinforced by Mrs. L. D.
Cullum, gave an ukelele and guitar
duet, which brought them eneores un-
til they were tired of trotting back
on the stage.
A beautifully touching feature was
"My Old Kentucky Home," sweetly
sung by Mrs Mote, accompanied by
the blackface performers. Mrs. Mote
was attired as a southern matron of
the oldtime, and her faithful slaves
stood around her, portraying many
such a scene as has happened in the
long ago, when the darkskinned girls
of the plantation generally loved "old
miss" as much or more than they did
their own mothers. There were not a
few wet eyes in the audience during
this scene.
The Rose Song" made a pretty
finale, and the people went home well
pleased with the performance.
The pleasure of the evening, and
the proficiency of the performers was
greatly added to by the superb work
at the piano of Miss Gertie Peyser.
Miss Peyser is one of Ocala's favorite
pianists, and if she should ever leave
our city the place that she has so
often cheerfully and efficiently taken
at our public entertainments viii be
hard to fill.

The patrons of the Peter Pan min
