Charter Commission
Holds First Meeting
Since Committee Acts

Harry A. Foster, member of the city
charter commission, reported at
meeting of that organization in the
city council chamber, that several
Omahans have asked him whether the
charter makers could include pro-
vision to permit saloons in Omaha.
Member John A. Rinc explained
that nothing may legally be included
in the proposed charter which would
contravene any general state law.
The commission held its first gen.
eral meeting since a committee Of five
has prepared in a tentative manner
general outline OF charter which will
be submitted to the voters next fall.
This committee eliminated obsolete
matter, such as references to the old
fire and police board and the park
board. .,.
1t is proposed to submit the essen
tials OF the present charter without
additions. and amendments will be
made from time to time after the
working basis has been adopted.
The commission expects to, have
its charter ready for the printers
within four weeks.

BY Associated Press.

! With the American Forces on the
Marne Front, July I'm the success
full attack on the Marne front, the
Americans paused for a moment.
while the automatic rifles and machine
guns with the advancing troops fought
a duel In front of Vaux briefly but
effectively with the enemy.
Then the Americans. whose number
was considerable, went on, most OF
them running in their eagerness to
get at close quarters with the Ger
mans. At the same time the Boches
began hurling gas shells to the rear
of the American lines.
Within a brief time the Americans
had wrested from the enemy the Bois
De La Roche and the woods adjoining
it. Then came the word that the
Americans were in Vaux, and finally,
after sharp fighting there in the streets
and houses, they overcame all resist
ance and swept on beyond the village.
Line Straightened.
The Americans reached every one
of their objectivcs and by this opera
ton they have eliminated salient
and have Strengthened out their line
Over an area of several miles the
Americans now have the enemy under
their guns.
Daylight this morning saw the
Americans digging in almost undis-
turbed far beyond the old German
defense line. To the rear patches of
prisoners and piles of material are 60

steadily mounted until it has reached
275. The guns and material have not
yet been tabulated.
The fighting qualities of the
Americans were certified to by virtu-
ally all the prisoners taken. They
said the Americans fought like wild
men. sweeping everything before
them as they plunged over the ground.
So fierce was the attack that many
Germans who we're in the zone as
saulted made their escape by run..ing
when the fight got too hot for them
and they saw it was impossible either
to slow down or halt the American
plunge.
The total number OF, German cap

War Department Six Months
Ahead of Program; Gives
Zest to Fourth, Says
President Wilson.
By Associated Press.

Washington, July 2.-American
troops sent overseas numbered l.
0l9,l55 on July l..
This was made known tonight by
President Wilson, who gave to the
public letter from Secretary Baker
disclosing a record of achievement
which the president said must cause
universal satisfaction" and which will
give additional zest to our national
celebration of the Fourth of july"
The first Observation-Disclosures
American shores May 8, 1917. Cen
eral Pershing followed II days later
and at the end of the month 1,7l8 men
had started for the battle fields OF
France. June saw this number i'll
creased by 12,26l and thereafter kha-
ki-clad Crusaders FROM the western
republic flowed overseas in steady
stream, until upwards of 100000 had
departed when the great German
thrust began last March.
Movement Accelerated.
President Wilson's determination to
meet Germany's supreme effort with
the utmost of Americas available
man power to assist the desperately
resisting French and British armies
is sharply reflected in the movement
of troops during the last three
months. The March sailings of 85,-
81 were increased in April to ll7,-
2l2. May saw another 244,345 men
embark and last month 276,372 were
sent away, making total for the
three months of 637,o2o. This, Sec
retary Baker said later, put the troop
movement six months ahead of the
original program.
Substantially 80 divisions are now
in France ready to meet whatever
move the German staff has in prepara-
ton. Some of these divisions already
are formed into the first field army
under Major General Liggett, others
are holding trench sectors at lmpor-
tant points along the battle line and
still others have been broken up and
brigaded with the French and Bri-
tish. troops. And so when the Ger
man thrust comes, the Americans
will be called to play no small part
in meeting it.
Equipment Adequate.
Secretary Baker wrote the presi-
dent that the supplies and equipment
in France for the million men who
have gone is shown by latest reports
to be adequate and added that "the
output of Our war industries in this
country is showing marked improve
ment in practically all lines of neces-
sary equipment and supply"
