When General Ferdinand Foch was placed in supreme command of the allied armies, he was hailed as Europe's greatest strategist. Hamp ered by lack of men and equipment he was for many weeks obliged to play a simple defensive game. Al lowing the enemy to advance, but at a frightful cost to German man power, the cunning Frenchman si lently played his hand. "When will the allies strike," were the impat ient words heard on all sides, but Foch knew when. When the Germans struck for the Marne, with Rheims as the appar ent objective. General Foch manip ulated a counter stroke which will go down as one of the most illus trious pieces of strategy in the an nals of military history. First, al lowing the German soldiers to ad vance almost to Rheims, and then pushing a spearhead down to Cha teau Thierry with a vast number of troops dependent on the railway facilities at Soissons, General Foch awaited the proper moment and then he STRUCK. Thursday morning the American and French troops went over the top on a twenty-five mile line reach ing from the Aisne, near Soissons, to Chateau Thierry, on the Marne. The allied troops swept past the first day's objectives in the early hours of the morn. A maximum advance of nearlv a dozen miles has been made since the offensive started. Thousands of prisoners have been taken. It has been a brilliant vic tory. A defensive was suddenly turned into an offensive and the Germans were completely surprised. i ne communication lines between Sois sons and Chateau Thierry are being subjected to the heavy fire of the allied artillery. Last night's dis patches say that the Germans are withdrawing across the Marne in the vicinity of Rheims. General Foch has won a double victory. In addition to the advance made to ward Soissons. the German drive toward Rheims has been frustrated by Foch's masterful strategy. The French general has won his spurs. Lincoln Star.

Capital: "When the war is over un less Germany is literally crushed and the empire destroyed there will be efforts made in this country to effect peace treaties and have some bearing upon a restoration of rela tions between this country and Germany. American newspapers will be found saying that Germany having been crushed, must be for given, and that Germany, having been destroyed, must be dealt with generously. This may be the new form of German propaganda, promot ed by Germany money. "The public ought to take a hint from past experience, and apply the same to future possibilities." :o: ANNOUNCE DATE Gigantic Spectacle and Thousand Arenic Sensations To Invade This Locality In Near Future. Word conies that Ringling Broth ers' mammoth circus is to exhibit afternoon and night at Omaha, Wed nesday, August 7th.

The world's greatest stars, such ar May Wirth, who leaps from the ground to galloping steed with baskets tied to her feet, are present ed in great number. There arc twice as manv clowns as before, a menagerie of 1,009 splendid ani mals and to introduce the holiday, an all new street parade three miles long. JUST LIKE THE TANKS.

NG 1 BROTHERS VISITS HERE AFTER THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS FINDS ANOTHER CITIZENSHIP AND A MODERN CITY IN STEAD OF FORMER TOWN From Tuesday's Daily. During the early seventies, when the Burlington were crossing the river here with a ferry having the President and the Vice President for that purpose, a man named John Petersen was a fireman on the Vice President, and with the building of the Burlington Bridge in 18S0, the ferry was discontinued and when Mr. Petersen was laved off he stay ed around for a short time and then drifted away, and in a short time found himself farming in Saunders county near Ceresco. Here he has lived for this more than a third of a century. The family grew and were married and have made homes for themselves, the wife has passed away and Mr. Petersen has moved to town, and he thought it. would be nice to come to Old Plattsmouth again, and spend some three weeks fishing and seeing what of the old town remained. When he got here this morning- lie found like Rip Van Winkle, the town had changed and in place of the town of wooden buildings then lining Main street they have given way to large brick business blocks, and the town is changed t hat one would not recognize in the city today the town of that time. He looked up K. Mess ier and Charles Petersen and many other old timers who have disap peared from the earlier scenes. He made inquiry of Ol Butts and father but they have also gone. Mr. Pet erson will spend some time here and will find after a while some people who he will know, but another citizenry almost altogether than ex isted at that time. DUXEURY BOYS LIKE RADIO.
