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.

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.

Stationery at the Journal office. 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. WILL SPEND FOURTH HERE. From Wednesday's Daily.
