Parents are urgently requested to send these girls to the 4 o'clock on Thursday. Girls wear white dresses and bring a small flag and a handkerchief large enough to pin around the head. Boys between the ages of 9 and 12 are wanted at the high school at 1:30 on Thursday. Boys wear overalls and hats and bring either a rake or a hoe. All those intending to take not at the 4th or the other hand will be kindly invited to attend.

Turning the tables on the Germans, the allies counteracked the advancing Huns today and routed them. Only brief dispatches have come from the front, but these are encouraging. Nothing decisive has occurred nor will be expected for days, perhaps weeks, but the fact that the allies have counter attacked in force so soon after the big drive was started tends to inspire confidence. If the Germans lose today what they gain yesterday, they will have met with a serious loss, for their losses in killed and wounded yesterday must have been frightful, with 51,000 men advancing on a front of 0000 yards wide against well-armed and entrenched soldiers such as the allies had confronting them.
