With few details lacking, the general program for the Wayne county observance of the Fourth of July was approved at a meeting of the various committees held Sunday afternoon in the Commercial Club rooms. Adequate provision in the parade has been made for every organization that had fjled its acceptance with the parade-" committee up to Saturday night atid organizations, which expect to participate should at. once notify L. A. Handley. chairman of the program committee so that proper asignment to the line may be made. The parade will be comprised of eight divisions, making it one of the biggest affairs of the kind that Richmond has tver witnessed. According to Chairman Handley every organization participating must be in its assigned position not later than 10:30 a. m., as the head of the column will move promptly at 11 o'clock. The division marshals in the parade have been given positive instructions as to this plan and there will be no delay in starting. Autos for Veterans. Special piovision is to be made for the Civil War veterans in this pageant. The line of march from the court house through Main street to Glen Miller is of such length that many of the veterans could not undertake it, though many others would prefer marching. However, the committee has deemed it wise that special automobiles should be assigned for the veterans, members of Sol Meridith Post and others, and a sufficient number of cars will be in waiting for thes veterans at the place of formation of the First Division, South Third street.

HEAVY ATTACK IMPENDS ON MAIN FRONT OF ENTENTE Enemy Artillery Fire Increases From Ypres to Rheims as Germans Prepare to Launch New Blow.
ALLIES MAKE GAINS BULLETIN. By Associated Pres) ' WASHINGTON, July 1 An official dispatch from Rome today says the Italian and French forces on the Asiago platetu in capturing Mont Val Delia took 1,500 Austrian prisoners. (By Associated Press) Both the French and the British continued yesterday and last night their recently adopted program of prodding the Germans at various points along the Franco-Belgian line, capturing a vantage point here and there and harassing the enemy while the preparations for the resumption of his offensive are under -way. The French hit the line In local at tacks at two separate points, but both on the western side of the German salient which projects down to the Marne from the Alsne. They gained ground In each attack and took prisoners and machine guns. The most pronounced gain was affected by General Petaln's troops Just above the point where their line Joins the American sector northwest of Balleau wood. They advanced here south of Passy-en-Valois and carried their line forward so that it now runs east of the Chezy-Vinly railroad. In addition, they held on firmly to the ground gained the night before Just to the north. In the region of Mosley, flghtr ing off two German counter attacks. Southwest of Solssons where the brilliant strokes of last week placed the French In a strong position on the Important Lavenlne plateau, they moved ahead again in. the center of their new line gaining ground by the capture of a strong point north of Cutry. -In all the Frenc'a took some 200 prisoners In these actions. ', The British stroke,' which was also a local operation, was well toward the southern end of the line Just above Albert, north of the Somms river. An improvement In the British position was affected here and machine guns and prisoners fell into their hands. Severe battles are brewing on the fighting fronts. All Indications point to an early resumption of heavy fighting on the western line. In Italy the mountain zone is again the scene of Infantry operations. Tension is increasing along the British front in France as the crescendo of the German artillery Are mounts higher and highr. From Ypres to Rheims, the big guns are busier than they have been for some days and the Germans probably are preparing to react strongly against the allied nibbling tactics which cost them Important points last week. The German command is known tc have large forces In readiness on the main battle fields of France. They may strike anywhere on the 200-mile main front as their communications give them much elasticity of move-" ment. It is expected also that the blow when and where It does come, will be the mightiest the enemy can make. Unconcerned apparently, about the German plans, the French continue to perfect their defensive positions between the Aisne and the Marne. Southeast of the forest of Villers-Cotterets, they have extended their line and tak

rorest 100 Germans were taken tn

sman aavance near St. Pierre Aiio I
The enemy did not react strongly and I t the French hold their new positions V j .
nrmiy. Along the line northwest of Chateau Thierry, where the Americans hold a sector, the Germans are reported concentrating troops and supplies. Aerial fighting has been severe near the American lines. It Is not unlikely the Germans may plan to give the Americans a hard blow in payment for the recent American successes on this front. West of the Brenta, General Diaz is preparing for eventualities by strengthening his line as the opportunity offers. East of Aslago Italian troops have reoccupied the height of Ilonte di Valbella, capturing 800 prisoners. Strong enemy attempts to retake the height were hurled back. Nearer the Brenta the Italians' took thirty prisoners in gaining a fortified point on v Sasso Rosso. Vienna says the Italians were thrown out of the Austrian first line on Monte dl Valbella and that further attempts to advance were checked. German air raids against Paris continue, but in three attempts last week and two Sunday-Monday night the en-' emy caused no great damage and few casualties. The latest efforts to pen-; etrate the defenses of the French capital were made late Sunday night And early Monday. The first failed. On the second several bombs were dropped on the capital.
