! (Received at $50 O'clock This After
/ noon by Special Wlre)
As the result of the first days
! drive by the American and French
troops, German prisoners to the ex-
ltent of 10000 have already been sent
in and in this short time the Allies
have gained more territory, taken
more prisoners and captured many
times the amount of supplies that
have fallen into the hands of the enc
NV in his three days of terrific eff
! fort around the Rheims salient.
! General Foch resumed his drive on
! the Aisne battlefront this morning
| at daybreak, aud the latest news
| from the front is that the enemy is
! still driven back, although his resis-
! lance is stiffening somewhat. In the
t battle on the Aisne, which is sepa-
rate and distinct from the great bat
| tie that is being waged on the Marine,
around Rheims, the enemy seems TO
have been captured by the thousands
while probably about one hundred
big guns have already been taken,
and thousands of machine guns. In
addition to these, such large guam
titles of other supplies have fallen
into the hands of the Allies that 1T
low hcfnra
totals can be tabulated. So hurried
was the retreat of the enemy that
supplies of every character were
abandoned on the field to the victori-
Gus Yankees and Frenchmen.
Military authorities now believe
that the tide has turned from the
Teutons to the Allies, and that from
now on the squeeze will be such that
an Allied victory is inevitable. The
American troops just simply over
powered everything that was in their
way; while the going was easy in
many places, at others the Germans
put up a desperate defense, but all
to no avail. as the American troops
simply went right over all obstacles.
The spirit of the troops is fine. We
are on our way to Berlin" was the
cheerful greeting of the men as they
met each other, and there was a
smile of JOY that at last they had
got chance to go after the boche.
Unless the Germans can stop the
drive, which has already gone for.
ward upward of eight miles in some
places, it may be necessary for them
to evacuate practically all of the
gains they have made in the bloody
fighting of the last three and a half
months, as a victory on the Aisne
will leave the flank of their army on
the Marine so exposed as to make it
impossible to maintain its position.
The battles which have been fought
since the grand offensive opened on
the 21st of March have already cost
the German army more than half
million troops, and if it should be
compelled to give up those gains now
there is no telling what may happen
in Germany and Austria.

BAND FUND NEARLY
HALF COMPLETED
About $3.50 More Needed to Raise
The $500 Necessary to Put The
Citizens Band in First Class Shape

The old Citizens Band found it
necessary to disband because they
could not take in money enough to
meet their annual running expenses,
to say nothing Of the depreciation to
their equipment They disbanded.
and all of Il sudden it became ap-
parent TO The public that there was
an urgen! need for band No pa
triotic public gathering is complete
without 4 band; no parade is consid-
cred worth while unless there is a
band; in fact, upon every side and at
every turn those engaged in patriotic
and otehr public work found them
selves handicapped by the lack of
a band
The members of the band; that is,
those who had been members of the
band, knew, too, that they were
needed, and they were very anxious
to get together and reorganize: they
realized that if a band could ever be
of service, if it could ever earn the
right to claim that there was a real
need of it's existence, that they could
only earn that right by service per-
formed during the time that the
country is at war, at the time when
stirring appeals are being made to
their countrymen to stand by the
old flag which has waved in honor
and only in honor since II was first
unfurled to the breezes, and they de-
termined to be right there Johnny
on the spot, if they could set the
necessary help.
At the time when the last large
group of white men left for Camp
Meade a few men at the B., c. & A.
Wharf, noticing the sacrifices few
of the band men were making in Or
der to be of help, discussed the mat
ter briefly, and decided to make an
effort to see if the band could not be
reorganized, their financial difficult
ties overcome, end a first1class band
