With the American Forces on the
Marno Front. July 2. In a bril
liant operation, alter hard fighting,
.American troops on this front last
night captured the village of Vaux,
logether with a large slice of the
Paris highway west of Chateau
Thierry and two patches of wooded
lnnd.
The Americans took 275 German
I-risoners, including five officers,
and captured a quantity of machine
guns and other equipment.
In the Vaux region the Americans
took the Germans completely by
surprise. Most of the prisoners
were taken out of cellars and dug-
oats.
How many Germans were killed.
of course, is unknown; but judging
from the number of dead in plain
view at various places the total must
have been considerable.
While the artillery preparation
was going on many American air
planes flew high overhead. Some
were protecting the observation bal
loons while others were combing the
skies to keep off enemy machines.
Early this morning the American
I Hots again appeared for similar
duty and were soon found contesting
with the enemy for supremacy in
the air. A number of the aerial
battles were observed, but reports
on the results are not yet avail
able. It was exactly 6 o'clock last even- ;
ing when the Americans went over
the top under the protection of a j
hail of machine gun bullets from
our machine gun bar:iges. The in
fantry action was preceded by
snort out territic artillery prepara
tion. When the Germans saw tha
a formidable attack was developing
many of those in outposts yelled
and ran toward the rear to nest
from which a hot fire began pour

Independence Day
for the World!
Little did that handful
of patriots think, when signing the Declar
ation of Independence back in 76 that they
were founding a great nation which would
some day fight for the freedom and liberty
of the world as it fought for its own.
That day is here. Once
again America has taken up arms for the
defense of those noble principals for which
many of her sons have given up their lives
but she has taken up arms not only for
herself, but for the rights and freedom of
all mankind.
This year Independence
Day will not only be celebrated by America
but by our allies in this great conflict of
right and might it may well be called the
Independence Day of the World.

and while here called on the Journal
officer. Both gentlemen have lived
in Cass county for a great many years

was married in Plattsmouth twenty
nine years ago, and went directly to
Elrnwood, wherehe has since resided,

continuously resided. He is certain
ly one of the few real old settlers.

we are pleased to know that they are

Washington, July 2. Congress to
day disposed of much important leg
islation, but encountered a variety
of obstacles in its program to recess
this week until August 10. Hopes
to close down tomorrow before the
Fourth of July holiday were aban
doned and while most leaders be
lieved they could recess Friday or
Saturday, others thought congress
might be held in session indefinitely.
The resolution authorizing the
president to take over the telegraph
and telephone lines, the $12,000,
000,000 army appropriation bill, the
proposal to increase the government
P.uaranteed price for wheat to $2.50
per bushel and war time nrohibition
were ?mons the issues in the com
plex legislative situation delaying a
recess.
Emergency Resolution. Elocked.
Leaders' plans for beginning the
congressional vacation late this week
were based on a program of post
poning decisive action on all but the
prmy supply measvire until congress
returns in August. To this end the
house today passed a blanket resolu
tion continuing as an emergency to
last year's appropriations for the ar
my, agricultural department and oth
er government agencies whose appro
priation bills have .not yet been en
acted, but the resolution was block
ed in the senate unil tomorrow.
Technically, the delay in enacting
the emergency resolution left the
army. Department of Agriculture
and a few other government bureaus,
without funds.
Although Speaker Clark tonight
said the recess plans had "gone glim
mering other leaders of both sen
ate and house were not so pessimis
tic. Their plans were to have the
resolution empowering the president
to take over telegraph and telephone
lines reported to the house and lie
over until August. However, if the
administration insists on passage of
the resolution before the recess s
taken, leaders were doubtful of se
curing a respite for congress nt an
early date.
may be suggested in view of the
senate's insistence on the price in
crease. Senate debate on war time pro
hibition, set for today, also went ov
er with many leaders predicting post
ponement of action until after the
recess.
In cleaning up pending appropria
tion bills, the senate, without a roll
call, passed the general deficiency
appropriation bill after eliminating
a provision to add $50,000,000 to the
$GO.OOO,000 already authorized for
housing government workers. The
senate ignored a request for $100,
000,000 sent in today by the hous
ing commission. Failure of the
commission to use the $60,000,000
authorized several months ago was
the reason given for the senate's
action.
