Local Successes by French
From Disc to Roye, Close to
Town of LaSSigny
RETREAT SEEMS CERTAIN

German forces holding the vital
sector of the battle front between the
Aisne and the Oise rivers have been
hurled back over a ten mile font this
morning by the French, according to
reports reaching London. It is stated
that the French have penetrated the
enemy positions to a depth of two
miles.
This attack, which is a continuation
of the assault made northwest of Sois-
sons on Sunday night. is said to en-
danger the whole German position
near scissors and the Aisne. 1t is
added that the French success will
probably be followed by German re-
tirement from Scissors to the Che

No details of the fighting are as yet
available, but an advance of two
miles in this sector would seem to
place the Germans, both along the
Aisne and before Noyon. In a serious

Unofficial dispatches also state that
significant local successes have been

the French have been fighting for
the past week or more.
The Germans hold on Roye also
seems to be weakened by the recent
progress of the French north and

The Calendar
BY George E. Bowen
of The Vigilantes

For three years or more nave
been looking, hopefully, at the big
checker-bord business calendar
above my desk.
AS the days numbered in the
squares were counted off into his
tory, each one became memory
more of tragedy than of JOY.
Whenever l 60 back ever those
numbered days they give me sad and
shuddering memories of Belgium and
Flanders, of stricken Italy and groan-
ing France, of blood-drenched noun
tain tops and the torn and trouble
waters of wide blue oceans.
Too many of those sadly numbered
days are written in depressing black.
Now, I'm going to mark all the
days of the future in RED!
For all the glad days of plenteous
peace, for immemorial days of nation
al rejoicing and new resolve and good
cheer, for Gel emonial days whatever
fine, high import, and for such days
Of grace as adversely may need
days Of inspiration and regeneration
the old calendar habit is red.
l don't know it may be with others
too much black darkens my spirit.
l believe in work, devotion, econo-
my, sacrifice for the Good Cause. But
being just human, I can't forever
endure mourning and hunger, debt
desolation and death.
can't have it all loss when want
it to be all gain.
/ won't have it all failure wnere
it all must be victory.

SOUSA COMPOSES MARCH TO
SPEED SHIP WORK

Lieut.. John Philip Sousa, U. S. N.
R. F., band master and composer,
whose martial airs have thrilled Am
erica for years, has written a new
march, inspired by patriotic desire
to do "anything in the world to put
more ships on the seas flying the
Star Spangled Banner"
Sousa and his naval reserve band
now are famous over all the country
as most potent force in encouraging
enlistments and melting PATRIOTIC ef-
fort. For many years he was dlEec-
tor of the Marine Band in Washing
ton. A letter to the bandmaster,
suggesting that march to spur on the
great shipbuilding drive would be
valuable contribution to the nation
brought this reply:
Anything in the world to put
more ships on the seas flying the
Star Spangled Banner. I will try
to get an inspiration, and when do,
will communicate with you. 1t seems
to me march of joyous nature
would fit the situation better than
one embodying the idea of barbaric
splendor, and if can think of some
thing of a lifting character you shall
have it."
Later came this second letter from
Lieut. Sousa:
II have virtually completed the
sketch of the march which you re-
quested and have thought that l
would use as the title "The Volun-
teers." The march is dedicated to
Mr.. Hurley and the men who are
building the fleet" :.
