big BANNER FAIR
ALMOST IN SIGHT

But one more week intervenes between
now and Banner Fair week, the dates of
which are August 19 to %.
The management are now busy every
day preparing for the big county event.
While nothing will be lacking of the
usual and regular fair attractions, many
and intensely interesting new features
resulting from war conditions will be
introduced, and while we are on this sub
ject we want to again remind mothers
of children, the latter of whom are of
pre-school age, of the measuring and
weighing test to determine whether the
physical development of the child is
normal-all of which is free.
Then there is patriotic day-Wednes-
day-when Frank B. Willis and A.P.
Sandles will deliver addresses in the
forenoon program. Don't miss it!
Negotiations are on for most wonder
full special attraction for the entire
course of the week, the acceptance of
which is momentarily expected. Mean
while other fine attractions have been
optionally secured and are being held
pending developments.
AS far as the ever popular race prog
-am is concerned, the prospects were
never better. Many entries have been
made, and all lines sure of being filled,
including the ever popular half. mile
lash or running race.
Special efforts should everywhere be
made to make patriotic day big event
n attendance, commensurate with the
Program to be presented.

London, Aug. 7.-According to a

Premier Terauchi, in a statement
at Tokyo concerning allied action in
Siberia, said the Japanese govern
ment would take further military
measures in case the position of the
CZecho-Slovaks demanded it. The
premier also indicated that If the
chaotic condition in Siberia contin-

Washington. Aug. Provost Mar.
Shal General Crowder, who appeared
before the senate military committee
to discuss the man-power bill, said
that the greatly increased ages of
men affected would make it neces-
sary to modify the present exemption
provisions.
Senator Chamberlain asked why
there was such haste now to have the
draft bill passed. General Crowder
told the committee that he did not
know the reason for the haste, but
that he was merely carrying out or
ders to get the men for military
service.
Broader provisions for exemptions
have been written into the bill so
that the nations war industrial fabric
may not be upset by unduly large
Withdrawals of men over 32 years Of
age for military service. General
Crowder explained that he had
deemed it advisable to substitute the
words occupations and employ
ments" for the word Industries"
used in the existing law, in the Sec
tion affecting industrial exemptions
This would make possible a more
liberal Interpretation of the law and
prevent the induction into the army
of many men performing essential
work at home and yet not actually in
Industrial occupations.
Senator Chamberlain said it was
the purpose CT the committee to in-
vestigate "the apparent change OF
front" on the part of war department
officials. THE committee desires to
ascertain" said the senator, why
they are in such hurry now to have
this draft bill passed, when before
they said there was no hurry" When
the question of extending the draft
was before congress in connection
with consideration OF the army ap-
preparation bill, Secretary Baker and
other war department officials told
congressional leaders that change
IN draft ages was undesirable until
an enlarged army program being
worked out coud be presented to coz
gregs.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

Allied forces during the week
wiped out the great salient between
Scissors and Rheims, on the Aisne
front. in which terrific fighting has
been going on for two weeks. Numer-
Gus towns and villages have fallen
into the hands of American, French
and British forces operating on this
front. In addition thousands of pris'
oners, hundreds of guns and large
quantities of war material have been
taken. The German retreat continues
unabated, with the allies in close
pursuit.
Apparently the situation now has
resolved itself into a race for the
the Germans, who havr been eyicted
from strategic points along the Vesle
river, in the center of the line and
directly east of Rheims, which seem,
ingly renders necessary that they put
the Aisne between themselves and
their pursuers as quickly as possible
in order to escape further large
losses of men made prisoner.
Just how large this bag of cap
tives is at present can not be reck-
oned, but unofficial advices from
Paris assert that when the figures
are made public they will thrill the
allied world. General Pershing, in his
communication, says the Americans
alone have taken S,40O prisoners anG
in addition 1873 guns.
The Americans and French have
succeeded in taking from the Ger
mans the important town of Fismes,
once Germany's great ammunition
and supply depot, midway on the rail-
way between Scissors and Rheims.
To the east at number of places
along the Vesle river the French have
crossed the stream, driving the en-.
emy northeastward. East of Sois-
sons allied troops have negotiated
the passage of the Aisne to the north
ern bank Of that stream where they
are in a position to harass the en-
emy as he endeavors to straighten out
his line in conformity with that rum
ming northwestward.
The fighting along the Vesle river
was of a sanguinary character as
long as It. lasted With the river at |

etration by the French to the village
of La Neuvillette, which releases the
German hold on the northern out
skirts of Rheims and seemingly de.
livers the cathedral city from the
German menace.
With the Germans now thoroughly
yanquished thus far on the Scissors
Rheims salient. eyes are being turned
to the regions in the northwest on
both sides of Amiens. Here the
French and British are keeping up
their hard pressure against the
armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria and have forced them on
two highly important sectors to re-
treat. Southeast Of Amiens, on the
old Montdidier sector, the Germans
have fallen back across the AyFe
river yer wide front, while noISh-
east of Amiens, in the region of AL
bert, similar retrograde movement
has Deen made across the Ancre. The

admitting the withdrawal near AL

British.
