Boys in Service.

soldiers and sailors who have already
gone before more dear to us than to-
day. the women of America are bid
ding good bye to sons. brothers and
husbands, who are fighting for the
preservation of the democracy for
which those others died. Let u.s. as
we strew the waterways with flowers
and decorate the graves, not forget
the women who then SO bravely shared,
as must in all times share, the hard
ships and the sacrifice. They also
shared the vision of the ideals for
which our country stands. Let us to-
day add to our tributes vows of SER
vice that we may say to those who
go to protect our security, We, too,
are ready to serve "
From Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wifi,
of the secretary of the navy:
"This is the most solemn of memoir

Eighteen Mile Advance.

Sweeping onward in dense masses
the Germans have advanced eighteen
miles in the center of the line be
tween scissors and Rheims. On the
allied left scissors has fallen while
Rheims on the right is in grave dan
ger, the Franco-British troops having
retired to within less than two miles
of the famous city.
Desperate as has been the resistance
of the French and British, especially
the French on the left, and the heavy
losses suffered by the enemy, the Ger
man advance has not been halted
greatly.
q scissors fell to the Germans after a
fierce fight in the streets of the CITY
for several hours and the French were
last reported holding tenaciously to
the western suburbs.
The enemy advance to scissors has
not yet affected greatly the French
line eastward from Montdidier which
the Germans apparently hope to bend
back by their success on the Aisne.
The curve in the battle line northwest
of Rheims has been wiped out and
from scissors eastward the line runs
southeast and then east into the
Champagne.
In the center of the As mile front
where the German progress has been
greatest the enemy forces are now
near Loupeigne, four miles north of
the river Ourcq and twelve miles north

entirely on territory untouched by the
