JOHN WALDO.

Funeral services for John Waldo, crown prince of 250 gypsy tribes, were held this morning at the fun eral rooms of Cullinan, Mullins and Buckley. Rev. Alexander Veniamin- off of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic church conducted the ser vices with all the ceremonies of the church ritual.

The American party left its trenches

They explored in both directions
and then passed on to the second line.
Finding nothing there they moved to-

the enemy. Soon after many shadoWy

The order was given and the Ameri-

ThAiVIHG MEN FOR
ADVANCE TO BERLIN
u. S, Orders Tops Prepared
For Forward Movement.

Washington. June 7. = American
troops in training at home are being
especially Schooled now in preparation
fer the forward movement against the
Germans which is certain to follow
final defeat of the present German
extensive campaign.
It was learned that orders have been
issued to division commanders to lay
greater stress on training for open
warfare and reduce the time devoted
to teaching trench warfare specialties.
The men are being hardened to long
marches, given target practice with
out end and thoroughly trained to care
for themselves in the give and take
open combat, all in preparation for the
advance toward Berlin.
Military observers say this change
in the midst of the greatest effort of
the German general staff of the entire
war speaks significantly of the spirit
of confidence that pervades the coun-,
ellis and armies of America and the
allies. When many of the men now
in training here reach France, long
marches and swift maneuvering
against retreating foe may well be
the order Of the day.
