Topeka Will Be Stirred With
Enthusiasm Fair Week.
Great Lakes Naval Training
Band Coming to This City.
MOST FAMOUS IN COUNTRY
Organization Trained Under
Personal Direction of Sousa.
Will Drill With Army Unit
Here From Leayenworth.

Every day of the Topeka Free Fair,
it was announced today by Phil East
man, secretary, will be a wealth of
as the feature organization the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station band,
trained and Instructed under the per-
sonal direction of John Philip Sousa,
will be on the morning, afternoons and
evening programs.
THE Peacocks of the Navy a name
often applied to members of the Great
Lakes band because of their youthful
appearance, their snappy stride, as
they swing along the street, will ap-
pear the first four days-and possibly
five days-of the fair. The band,
comprising thirty pieces, is a detach-
ment of the famous Great Lakes mu-
sical institution which numbers more
than 1 800 pieces. Its members youth
full. their music containing that ele-
ment known only to the pupils of
Sousa and to Sousa himself. the band
has become famous for injecting tn
spirit of Americanism into the hearts
of listeners. This was proven in the
first three liberty loan campaigns
credit-raised s2,1O0,0OO,0O0 in sub
scriptions.
Tour of Three States
So great is the appeal of the youth
full bluejackets, that everywhere they
appear, they are GREETED with the wild
est of enthusiasm-the press and lis
teners insisting in many instances that
the band is not only a navy band but
typical American institution.
The band which will appear here
is now on a tour thru three states
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. On it
entire trip-the estimate being based
on similar trips in the past-the or
ganization will play to more than g.
100000 persons, including $4,000 q
day in Topeka.
At the Topeka fair the band will
play, at different times, in the peo-
pies pavilion, in front of the grant
stand and it will also work in connec-
'tion with the crack military drill
team from Leavenworth. In connec-
ton with the drill team-in parades-
the band will show few fancy steps
of its own.

With the American Armies in
France, Aug. 80 (night)-Steady and
vigorous artillery battering of the Ger
man line in the Chavigny-Juvigny re-
gion, coupled with the brilliant work
of the French infantry, has rendered
the enemy positions more difficult.
The haraSSing and destructive lire
lasted all day in the American sector.
Meanwhile the infantry kept to the

patrols were maintaining contact with

French Progressed Rapidly
The French in the Chavigny region,
on the American right, progressed SO
rapidly that for time the infantry
fighting spread to the American lines.
American light artillery fired on the
boche from the heights opposite
Juvigny with direct, open sight fire.
One officer, saying he couldn't see
well otherwise, stood on a rise in
front of the infantry, directing the
fire of his guns.
