KEEPS ON HATALL
THROUGH PARADE;
HAS TO KISS FLAG
Crowd Carries Man From
Third Story of Vienna Hotel
and Forces Demonstra-
ton From Him.

A crowd of irate patriots roughly
carried a man from the third story
of the Vienna hotel building, Tenth
and Farnam streets, and compelled
him, under threats of death. to kiss
the flag during the parade Saturday.
The mans name was not learned.
The affair was caused by his stout
refusal to take off his hat while a
passing military band was playing
The Star-Spangled Banner"
A crowd of men, following the mil
itary band in march order, espied the
man with his hat on, watching the
parade from a third story window of
the building.
Cries of "Off with your hat" to the
man were answered with sneers and
refusal to accede to their demand,
whereupon six men rushed into the
building and carried him to the street.
Crowd Surrounds Man.
Several hundred persons surged
about the man.
"Get a ropep Lynch himp and
"Kill him!' were shouted from the
crowd.
Someone handed flag to the leader
of the mob, who held it before their
victim while the latter was compelled
to kneel with bare head, plant kiss
upon it.
His clothes were torn and his body
beaten considerably by the angry
crowd.
Police officers in the adjoining block
were unaware of the disorder that pre-
vailed.
After shouting his allegiance to the
flag before the crowd the man was al
lowed to depart.

U. S. DROPS BARRAGE.
As soon as the German barrage fire
lifted, the American outposts saw the
enemy infantry advancing and called
for a counter barrage, which fell with
in two minutes just in front of the
enemy. The Germans scattered as
the American infantrymen came from
their underground shelters, and began
pouring machine and automatic gun
fire into their ranks.
Hun Yells "Kamarad."
An American corporal in listening
post saw a big German sergeant
wearing an iron cross passing close
by. He leaped out and hit him with
his rife butt, and then throttled him
and hauled him into one Of the
American trenches. Another Ger
man was captured in No Mans land
by a corporal whose squad covered
the German while the corporal ad-
vanced and demanded his surrender.
The German threw up his hands and
yelled "kamarad,"
The American general commanding
the troops in this sector has person
ally congratulated the American cap
tors and promised to reward them
for their cool-headed courage in the
face of the enemy'ss fire.
Prisoners Talk Freely.
The prisoners talked freely and
divulged considerable valuable in
formation.
General Pershing arrived at the
headquarters at the front as the pris-
oners were brought in.
In another part of the sector an
enemy patrol earlier today attacked
an American party carrying food to a
listening post. The American ser
geant commanding the food carriers
shot German sergeantry through
the Shead. The loss Of their com
mander demoralized the remainder oi
the patrol, which retreated, the
American machine gunners helping
them on their way.

STRIKE AT CENTER.
Saturday, the main attack was de-
livered on the allied center. after the
blow launched south of the Somme
on Thursday, and that driven into the
north of the river on Friday, had
spent themselves.
Saturdays big plunge appears to
have had its starting point just to the
south of the Somme. Apparently
aiming at the Albert-Amiens railroad
in the vicinity of Corbie, about ten
miles east of Amiens, the enemy
threw heavy masses of troops toward
the opposing line from Vaire wood,
east of Corbie. The battle seemed
likely to develop into one of import
ance as affecting the tenure of what
remained to the entente allies of the
wedge shaped piece of ground in the
angle formed here by the Somme and
the Ancre.
BRITISH HOLD FIRM.
The Germans did not renew their
attacks against the French south Of
the Somme Friday night. The attack
launched against the British in the
region of Albert and northward on
Friday, however, was kept up well
into the evening, but its continuation
gave the enemy little If any addi-
! tional advantage. -
The weather on the battle front
was reported improving Saturday, but
the aviators were still handicapped by
low visibility.
Premier Clemenceau has added to
French confidence in the outcome of
the great battle by an explanation of
the situation to the parliamentary
military committee, in which he told
them the situation might safely be
left in the hands of Frances admir-
able army. His statement supple
ments General Foch's "All is going
we'll" in his remarks on the state of
affairs in the battle area.
The anniversary of the entry OF
the United States into the war was
made the occasion abroad of cele-
brative functions in London, Paris
and Rome and the sending of numer-
Gus messages of felicitation by allied
leaders. A notable utterance was that
by Premier Lloyd George, in which
he predicted that during "the next
few weeks" the United States would
