With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marine Front, July 81, $3.50 a. m.
Franco American forces on the
front northeast, Of Chateau Thierry
have driven the Germans almost en-
tirely out Of the wooded area which
they have been so stubbornly defend
ing. Allied pressure behind is being
constantly maintained and the enemy
is being punished with artillery fire.
In the region Immediately north Of
the Marine in the district where the
Germans have been clinging to the
banks of the river the French lines
have been advanced north to Pont a
Binson. On the Champagne front the
French carried out Il local operation
in the region south of mountain
without name, as a result of which
the lines were advanced nearly two
thirds of a mile on front of APP
proximately two miles. Two hundred
prisoners were taken in this opera
ton.

LOSSES OF TEUTONS
ARE lRREPLACABLE

London, July 27.--The Allies are
definitely on the up grade and the Ger
mans show distinct signs of recogniz-
ing this situation. The morale in the
German ranks appears to have suf-
fered seriously from the setback, and
this condition is accentuated by the
knowledge that the enormous losses
of the past fortnight have fallen on
the flower of the German armies,
their storm troops, which
have been combed out from all fronts
and which admittedly are irreplacable.

the public to know just why / took

nit me to bring to your most thought
full consideration the vital importance
of governmental economy at this time
economy in the absorption Of labor,
money and materials. Betterment, or

ments, whether. constructive, recon
structive or repairing, or construction
of new buildings, in short, any pub
lie improvements such as would be
natural or appropriate in peace times,
hut ,r-b,, bn q
er the war, should not be entered up
on at this time. Undertakings which
do not contribute directly or indirect
ly to winning the war necessarily
withhold support correspondin9ly
from our military efforts, which means
that they can be carried forward only
at the cost Of deferring the conclusion
Of the war and the consequent in
creased sacrifice of lives of those al
the front. This applies equally
whether undertaken by state. county
or city, and whether to be paid for by
sales of bonds, by general taxes or
by local assessments.
NO German propaganda coulu pc
more insidious nor more harmful than
one for undertaking at this time pub
lie work which can be deferred for
the time being 1t is time when
all essential projects should be
deferred and when the cost Of gov
ernment should be reduced to the min
imum in order that all energies may
be concentrated in the one vital ef-
fort of winning the war.

Washington, July 27.--In summing
up the battle situation today along
the Aisne-Marne front, General
March, chief of staff, said it had re-
suited in hurting the German forces
eleven miles further back from Paris,
thereby shortening the Allied line ten
miles. Our positions on the flanks
Of the salient near Soissons and
Rheims are practically unchanged.
Chateau Thierry is almost emptied
Of the enemy, who continue toward
the center of the salient. Fere en-
Tardenoise, vital Germap- center, is
now within three and One-half miles
of the Allied line, and under constant
shell fire. The most striking advance
since last Wednesday was the Brit
ish gain of a mile and a half on a
four-mile front just west of Rheims.
This advance has marked special
source Of danger to the enemy, plac-
ing the Hun forces south in very
awkward position, as the French have
already begun a northward advance
from tie Marine salient against Ger-
man forces now in the pocket of that
salient. -"

here by several members.
The letter bears the signature Of
William V. Cow1nan, state chairman,
and reads as follows:
Doubtlessly you have already re-

Blair calling attention to the rule re-
quiring all Mour- Minute Men who
are candidates for office to resign.
This rule will apply to all candi-
dates for salaried elective offices and,
while we regret, losing the services OF
so many earnest, aggressive and pa

tent a military organization and "or-
ders is orders"
All local chairmen and Four Min
ute Men coming under this rule will
Immediately send their designations
to their county chairmen and a copy
thereof to this office. All county
chairmen coming within the rule will,
of course, send their designations to
me.
While, under the rule, the resiena-
tons of these good men must be ac-
cepted. I would, however, recommend
that their names be placed on a
"leave Of absence" list, so far as pub
lie speaking is concerned, so that we
may feel free to call upon them i'm
imediately after election.
And | wish to take this means OF
conveying my personal appreciation

who have responded so gloriously tC

OF OUR MEN
KILLED LOW, SAYS BAKER
(By Associated PreSs)


Washington, July 27.-Satisfactory
progress is being made by the Amer
Iican troops assisting the French and
British in pushing i'll the German lines
on the Soissons- Rheims salient, mem
bers of the House military committee
were told today by Secretary Baker
and General March, chief of Staff.
The transportation facilities Of the
'expeditionary army are fully meeting
the strain placed upon them in keep
ing moving troops supplied and in
bringing up heavy guns and ammuni-
ition, the representatives were told.
While without information as TO the
casualties in the present battle, Sec
retary Baker said the percentage Of
men killed in previous fighting had
been remarkably low. Figures fur
'nished the committee members showed
that the death rate in battle has been
eight per 1000, while there was exact
ly the same proportion as the deaths
from diseases among the eXpeditionary
forces.
The officials said this undoubtedly
was the lowest death rate among
troops at war in the history Of the
world.
General March said that the Amer
| lean forces were too busy pressing
their offensive to even attempt to
estimate the German dead.

brought down twenty-five German air
planes and forced down six others out
of control in air fighting yesterday.
Fifteen of the British machines failed

been very determined in this latter
sector The advances reported else
where are for the most part slight.

the west of Rheims the Allies lost the
town of Merry and Hill 2G4 to a Ger
man counter attack, but retained Nrig-

looking toward Fines.

faux, Bouilly, St Euphraise and Cour-
ton Wood.
Between the Ourcq and Chateau
Thierry the Franco American line
now shows an advance beyond the line
of a week ago of from six to eight
miles.

Mrs. Harris Nunn.

One of the saddest and most generally regretted deaths that has happened in this city for sometime was that of Mrs. Har- ris Nunn, which occurred on last Friday night, Oct. Is, at 12 o'clock, after weeks illness of pneumonia.
 Mrs. Nunn (nee Miss Willie Killian) was about 30 years of age and was reared here, where she leaves large concoHrse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The deceased was a deyout and consistent member of the NJ. E. Church, South, of this city, where she devoted much of her time to the various religious and charitable branches of that insti- tuition.
 The remains were laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery at Il 0 clock on Sunday morning, af- ter touching and impressive fu- neral services at the grave, con ducted by Dr. NJ. B. Corrigan and Rev. ". c. Davidson-the last sad rites being witnessed by a large gathering of sorrowihg relatives and friends. The many and beautiful floral offering $ that were banked on the new made grave bore mute and touch ing evidence of the love, affection and esteem in which this good and noble woman was held by her vast throng of admiring and mourning friends.
 Besides her bereaved husband, she is survived by an only son, Wallace, six years of age, and two devoted and heart brok sisters, Mrs. Hale Robinson and Mrs. k. L. Deal, both of this city.
 While it seems hard to give up this sweet young life, yet, 
 "To-day, my friend, may bring our final doom; If not to-day, tomorrow surely will: Why look We sadly on this loved ones
 tomb?
 Here she was happy-she is happy
 still.
 Life was not given for ages to endure,
 Though virtue even in death may
 find a rest;
 But know-a spirit order'd well and
 pure,
 May make life's sorrows and life's
 changes blest"
 The Monticellonian most ear nestly tenders to the bereft hus- band and other sorrowing rela- tives its heartfelt condolence.
