RED CROSS TAG
DAY TOTAL IS
NOW S24,OS4.OS

That the proceeds of the Minute
Women's Red Cross tag day drive to
date has been $24,084.O9 with con-
tributions still struggling in daily,
was learned today.
Treasurer Frank Staples announc-
ed that his count today shows $21,-
22705. To this must be added 49,
S5794 collected on Friday afternoon
from the children of the public
schools, making a total of $24,O84.09
or more than $4,000 IN excess of the
high goal that was set.
AS money is coming in every day, it
is quite within the bounds that before
the last nickle is counted the sum will
reach $25 900.
Aside from the contributions from
the school children, which came in
small amounts, Treasurer Staples and
his forces had the task of counting uIt
no less than 5000 dimes - quite a
bunch of silver. Then there were
$1,000 pennies to be counted, and
proportionate share of other coins.
Counting all this was quite a task.
eff it wasn't for the automatic coin
machines at the First-Bridgeport
urer Staples today.
One of the later donations was from
the Polish Sick Benefit Society which
Joined the Red Cross with SO indi-
vidue1 memberships, and in addition
donated s7.66 to the tag day collec-
ton.

GERMANS ATTACK IN MASSES

The Germans now have reclaimed virtually all the territory
they held at the beginning of the battle of the Somme in 1916
At some places they have not re all the old ground but at
other points they have overstepped it somewhat
Yesterday established that than 70 German di-
visions had been engaged in the battle The usual estimate
the present strength of German division is $4,000 men, that
loss of 50 per cent would casualties excess
for the Germans in less than week of fighting.
Fresh forces flung into the the southern phase the
offensive late yesterday These renorcemen with other
picked troops including the famous Prussan guards sent
forward in dense against the Allied defenders The
latest reports from this fighting merely chronicle most
sangnary struggle without indicating any change the situa
on.
At the latest reports the Germans had made further at
acks against Bray North of Albert however they attacked
lin considerable strength toward Aveluy wood The assault
broke against the British line and recoled North of this point
the situation is unchanged Heavy fighting occurred late yes
terday just south of Albert about Meaue At the time
British off attack north of Albert at Auchonvers.
The enemy gains farther north have been large but the elias
ITCHY of the defending line far has defeated his intention to
break through and divide the British forces It is prob
ably that this elasticity has resulted in the development of the
vicious drive which the enemy making to the south.
The appalling slaughter of the attacking masses, has
nued since the first day. the prisoners have much the
same story to tell of the great losses suffered
