The liberal subscriptions by color ing5 stamps was the outstandne i feature of yesterdays Thrift Day. drive in Jefferson to obtain promises to economize and invest savings in war securities. In the city, the ra- suit was somewhat disappointing to i County Manager E. A. Howell, who based his conclusion on incomplete reports from the solicitors The greatest cause for disappointment seemed in the size of the pledges many persons considered able to in- vest lberally taking only small amounts.
 None of the ward organizations completed their work yesterday, and not all the teams reported. The canvass will be resumed today, and continued until everyone has been solicited.
 Miss Anna Can't, in charge of the ] women's division, said last night she could not hazard an estimate of the amount of pledges obtained, but that from reports received she judged cash sales were good
 The Second ward organization with w. N Trulock as chairman and w. A. Taggart secretary, had not completed tabulating incomplete re ports late last night. Mr Taggart said that he had tabulated about | three -fourths of the pledges reported 16S pledges aggregating $S,1S0, an aV- craze of $4S. He estimated that on ly one-fourth of the pledges had been reported, and that at the ratio o1 thase tabulated the ward will sho" pledges aggregating between S"2,- coo and $35,000.

TWO CAMP PIKE
 OFFICERS PUT
 OUT OF ARMY In Addition, One is Given 25- Year Sentence in
 Prison. ROWAN DISCHARGED FOR DISOBEDIENCE Captain Who Drew Color Linz Plan, to Aid in Reorganization of Rus. sian Army-Lieut. Hall Was Guilty Embedding 5000

Little Rock, June 2S.-By virtue of telegraphic communication from the war department. received at headquar- ters at Camp Pike today, Capt. Eu- gene c. Rowan. late of the 162nd depot brigade, was dismissed from the service and Lieut.. Robert s. Hall was dismissed and given 9 yearss' sentence at hard labor in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.
 Captain Rowan's case attracted con- siderable attention while it was be- fore a general court martial several months ago because it was the first time the color line has figured in a National army court. Captain Rowan's s offense was that he refused to obey an order issued by the brigade com mander calling for a troop forma- ton because both negro and white soldiers were included in the for nation. The officer is native of Georgia. but has recently lived in Mississippi.
 Captain Rowan left Camp Pike this afternoon and said that he will go to Russia to assist in the reorganization of the Russian army if he can secure passports. He is veteran of the Spanish American war and graduate of the first series of officers train- ing camps.
 Lieutenant Hall was mess officer of the 34Sth infantry and deserted his organization late in February. Sev- eral days after his desertion check up of the mess fund revealed short ages amounting to $7,000. He was arrested in San Francisco and brought back to camp. A part of the funds placed to his credit in a bank later was secured thru civil court pro- ceedings. Hall was stripped of his insignia this afternoon and placed in tent stockade He will be taken to Fort Leavenworth tomorrow. He is a native of Brooklyn. N. Y., and also a graduate of the first training camp at Fort Roots.

British Advance q Mile.

London, June 2S.--A successful ad- vance of nearly a mile Was made to- day by British troops between Bail leul and La 'Bassee, according to Reuters British headquarters corre- spondent. The correspondent a,s the captured ground lies at the most de- batable point on the British front just west Of the Bois d'Aval. which forms tte northeast angle of the Nieppe forest. The offensive was ay a point where the enemy thrust was parted in the Flanders batt'e in an effort to capture the fores3 which would have opened his way to Haze brouck, the capture of which would have entailed retirement from Yrres. says the correspondent.
 The attack was launched at 6 o'clock this morning on front 5000 yards, it's objective being the llne of small streams called the Plate Rccque 1900 yards away The objectives were completely attained and gave us val uable ground for future attacks. Some 300 prisoners and six machine guns were captured.

Associated Press Summary.


 British troops in Flanders and French troops further south apparent ly have anticipated the proposed Ger man drive towards the channel ports or Paris and struck first Altho slight details thus far have been revealed the allied troops caught the enemy unaWares at salient posts and driv- ing swiftly forward took ground which would have been of considerable val ue as starting points of enemy at tackS.
 In addition a comparatively large number of prisoners and machine guns were captured The British at tack was delivered about midway be- tween fIazeNouck and Bethune on a front of nearly three and half miles over territory which the Germans re- shells
 Recapture Several I.amlets. .. Altogether the attack was pro ductve of all average gain to. a depth of nearly mile and included the talk ing of several hamlets.
 It is not improbable that the Ger mans in priposed offensive in this
 
 capture of St. Omer and the railway Dunkirk.
 The stroke of the French was over still a greater front, four and a half miles, and they at points also pene- trated enemy positions to goodly depth. at some points mile and a quarter.
 From Amblyn to the east of Mont Colbert the French overwhelmed strongly fortified positions along the entire front. Besides beating back the enemy more than 1,060 Germans were captured.
 Attacks Simultaneous.
 Altho the points of attacks were separated by about 110 miles the maneuvers seemingly had been well considered by General Foch as they were carried out simultaneously. The strategy is apparent when it is realized that 9 successful German thrust where the British struck would have menaced the channel ports, or similar move in the south would have placed Paris in jeopardy.
 Friday evening Berlin communica- tions made note of the allied thrusts by declaring that the Germans were busily engaged in attempts to repulse them That the allies are not to be caught mapping is indicated by the intensive aerial operations in progress over and behind the battle line.
 There is considerable fighting be- tween the Austrians and the Italians in the mountain regions. but compara- tive quiet prevails along the Piave, across which the enemy was driven by Italians early in the week.
