With the r-iuncjij Army, July 23.
The German Crown Prince Frederick
William, whose army Is so badly cut
up by tho allies on tho Maine river,
and Is now in retreat, has been oblig
ed to call for help from his cousin,
Crown Prince Uupprccht, of llavaria.
Answering this urgent call, and hop
ing to chock the allied advance and
prevent any further disaster, Ger
man divisions from the army In the
north have been hurried south to
protect tho western Hank of the de
feated army, which has. been driven
back over tho Marne and ejected from
tho vicinity rtf Chateau-Thierry by
the Franco-American forces.
Tho llrst drive on Paris In 11(14
brought tho German army to the
Maine river, and there the English
and French checked the advance, and
the Hun forces, who had counted on
taking Paris and ending tho war,
wore defeated on September B, lot t,
and hurled back. Repeated attempts
to reach Paris have been ropulsed,
and In the last offensive the Germans
were confident that they could cut
their way Uirougli at the point
where the attack developed a week
ago, but their estimato of tho Ameri
can army strength and tho ability ol
tho United States troops to hold tlu
lines was miscalculated and defeated
and again the enemy is hurrying
backwnrd in perplexity.
AMERICANS CROSS MABNK.
London, July 22 . Americans
crossed tho Marno rivor in the face
of a galling ilre, yesterday, at a point
between Cliartoves and Gland, cast
of Chateau-Thierry and captured liar
billon wood. At the same time
French troops crossed the river at
Mozy and Corrcelles, constructing
foot bridges while German gunners
tried to prevent tho work. In vio
lent counter attacks today tho Huns
are using gas shells and frantically
endeavoring to check tho allied ad
vance, but llnd themselves unable to
accomplish anything. Tho lighting
has settled down to a steady drive,
both Franco-Americans and Germans
going at the work with bull-dog ten
acity. German resorves are lwlng
thrown into the battle in great num
bers, but still the receding tide car
Ties the enemy farther bock, while
more war munitions continually fall
into the allies' hands as the Germans
are forced northward. The French
made an advance of eight miles at the
greatest depth on the Maine front
Sunday, and Uie united states troops
advanced four miles from their form
er position on the Mnrne rivor.
The object of tho German counter
attacks is to expedite the escape of
their troops from the pocket between
Soissons and Rhcims, which two
points are only about 87 miles apart
in a direct lino, or by tho highway
connecting the cities. Tho Germans
having forced their way as far south
as Chatcau-Tiiierry ore in great dan
cer of having those troops at tho ex-
treme southern point of the pocket
cut off and captured. The allied
troops, pushing ahead from both
Rhcims and Soissons, nro making It
a difficult matter for tho enemy to
even now get supplies to the men on
the Marne front, where Uicy arc con-
stantly harrassed by the Franco-
Americans. Sensing tho great dnn
eer at this point, the Huns are de
neratelv attempting to hold the
French and Americans in check suf
ficiently to nllow them to get out of
the mess with as little loss as pos
sible. The allies, understanding the
great advantage they may gain, are
pressing forward to complete the
work undertaken and turn the ene
my's rout into a wild disorganised
fllirht.
Southwest of Ithelms there has
been heavy fighting today, and the
French army has made considerable
progress between the Ourcq anil
Marne rivers, taking 400 prisoners.
The French line in the Aisne and
Marne drive now runs from Itreny
along the main Chntcau-Thierry road
to Recourt, then through lie 1,'narmi?
and Kpleds to the Marne at Chart-
eves.
HUN COUNTER ATTACK FAILS,
Paris, July 22. During Sunday
strong counter attacks were deliv
ered against the allied lines at points
between the Orcq -river and the
Mai ne, but all of the attacks were re
pulsed by Franco-Americans who
maintained tliclr positions. The most
severe of these counter blows were
delivered about seven miles north

For Number of Years.

Old Soldier Fiddlers Prove to Be
Delightful Entertainers--Fen-wlck
Newell Co., Dr. Bushnell
and Dr. Fox are Splendid.
The Ellison-White Company open
ed their big chauTauqua in this city
Saturday with what promises to be
the best program given in this city
In years. , . .
The opening program was present
ed by the "Old! Soldier Fiddlers,"
who proved to be delightful enter
tainers indeed. ..- The company con
sisted of four old Civil war veter
ans: Col. J. A. Pattee, of the 24th
Michigan, Iron Brigade; James
Pearce, drum major of the 20th New
York; Thomas Severn, 84th Virginia
cavalry, and Mujor Hamtnorsley, 1st
Virginia troops, and J. A. Pattee,
Jr., son of Col. Pattoe, 'Sth Pennsyl
vania volunteers, Spanish-American
war, piano accompanist.
Col. Pattee Is loader of tho com
pany, and a man of rnre ability. His
witty remarks and . funny storios
Uopt the audience in the beBt of hu
mor thoroughout the evening. Tho
violin, or "flddlo" music, as Col.
Patteo .called it,, consisted of old
time tunes, nhd carried the older
portion of the audience back to the
days of their youth;; -the fife and drum
and. the comet wore all enjoyable. .
The patriotic songs of J. A. Pat
ly enjoyed numbers of the program.
The scenery carried by the com
pany consists of a painting of a por
tion of the famous battle ground of
Gettysburg, A splendid short ad
dress was given by Col. Pattee, on
the 60th anniversary of that battle,
when 50,000 Union and Confederate
soldiers were entertained by the gov
ernment av the scene of the famous
battle which turned the tide of the
Civil war In favor of the Union, and,
said Col. Pattee, "If you could have
Been the blue and the gray walking
arm in arm over the ground where
Pickett made his famous charge,
just fifty years before, to the hour,
you would have no doubt whatever
that the hatchett is forever burled."
Here the speaker was cheered to
the echo, and as the audience look
ed upon those four old men on the
platform, none under 73 years of age,
two lrt the blue and two in the
gray, mingling happily together, the
speaKer s words were fully verified.
The readings given by Major Ham-
mersley were very much enjoyed, and
the major was compelled to respond
to several encores. The poem paying
tribute to General Lee and General
Grant deserves especial mention.
Col. Pattee and son are both com
missioned as recruiting officers by
the u. o, government.

OF CEMETERY PASTURE
. W. T. Baglby, or Door Crook, was
In town today and told his vorslon
of the report that the little ceme
tery some ten mllos east of tho city
was being UBed as a calf pasture.
The gentieman admitted that ho had
put one calf in the enclosure, and
that he had pastured a number of
young goats thoro, but alleged that
it was with the consent and even by
request of the people of the com
munity that he had done so. Somo
months ago a couple or young goats
belonging to him got into the como
temy, and on decoration day, when
many old timers were there looking
atfer the graves of deceased rela
tives, and the question of goats be
ing there came up, and it was re
marked to Mr. Bagloy, according to
the gentloman'B statement today,
that a few goats would really do the
place benefit in keeping down tho
wild growth, and one or two parties
personality told htm to let his ani
mals continuo to paBture there. Ho
also stated that on decoration day
he had porBonnlly set up a number
of tombstones thut had toppled over
for one reason or another, mainly on
account of a tire that swept through
the place some years ago, crumbl
ing the monumentB. . Mr. Bagley in
sists that the parties who reported
his calves pasturing in the cemetery
have no tltlo to the property, nor Is
there any deeded road leading to It,
but access to the burying plot la
only by his BiiiTranc.' '
At any rate the calf and the goats
are expelled from pasturing in the
cemetery, and road rights or titles
to property may be a question for
the courtB to decide later.
