FLOWERS RAINED ON WOUNDED U.S. MEN IN PARIS

Paris Shop Girls Buy Flowers When Wounded American Soldiers Arrive. PARIS. July St. American wounded arriving here today met with the same cheering reception as accorded the first arrivals early In the Marne battle. As the slightly wounded passed from the station Into waiting Red Cross cars and ambulances shop girls flung down coppers on nearby flower stands and hurridly rushed over and thrust bouquets on them. The Parislenne likes nothing better than to be seen with a wounded soldier. Decorations for bravery appeal to her, but Legions of Honor and War Crosses cannot compare In her estimation with the privilege of walking with a soldier lad who has been "la bas," up there where the steel cracks open and tears the flesh. The families of France are taking our wounded lads Into their foyers, and France could pay no greater compliment to Americans.

(By Associated Prs.) ROMEJuly 9. Three Italian sailors and one Italian soldier are being tried by a courtmarital on a charge of having blown up the Italian battleship Benedetto Brin on September 27, 1916 by placing an infernal machine in the gun room. The defendants are Achille Moschinei. Guglierno Maitolinl, Mario Azzoni. all bluejackets, and trooper Giorgio Carpi. The Benedetto Brin was blown up in the harbor of BrindisI with the loss of more than a hundred lives including that of Rear Admiral Rubin de Cervin. An inquiry by the Italian government developed that the battlefhlp had been destroyed through the machinations of German agents and forty persons were arrested. An Italian named Ambrogetti. implicated in the destruction of the Benedetto Brin and also of the Italian battleship Leonardo da Vinci was arrested and asserted that he was the financial agent of Monsignor Gerlach. private chamberlain to the Pope Benedict and an Austrian citizen. Gerlach fled from Italy before an Italian court had investigated his activities, found lhim guilty of espionage and sentenced Ihini to imprisonment for life.

Receipts of Red Cross Society Total $33;120.97 For Year

The report of the Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross society for the year ending July 1 shows that the total receipts of the chapter during the year amounted to $33,120.97. while the expenditures were $27,234.44. Of the expenditures only $633 was paid for salaries and wages during the year. The itemized report follows: Receipts. Cash on hand $ 1,163.58 Chapter's 6hare of membership fees 6,475.00 Chapter share of first Red Cross War Fund 7.S29.63 Chapter's share of Second Red Cross War Fund 9.500.00 Wayne County War Fund... 3.000.00 Gifts and donations 1,902.48 Sale of text books 28.46 Sale of Red Cross pins 221.80 Borrowed 3,000.00 Total $33,120.97 Expenditures.

The $300 from the Wayne County War Fund is the first payment on the amount above $38,000, which, according to the

terms of the campaign, was to go to the local chapter. The necessity of this local fund is shown by the fact that the chapter receipts from the first Red Cross War Fund were only $7,829.63, while its expenditures for military relief supplies were $19,100.80, which made it necessary "at the entire income from the nu. mbership fees and gifts, together with $3,000 borrowed money be used to carry the chapter through until the payments on this year's War Fund came in. The item of postage and stationery includes the postage, printing and cards involved in the Christmas membership drive at which time more than 13,000 memberships were taken out. The military relief supplies which were purchased with $19,400.80, consisted of gauze, cotton, muslin, yarn, outing-flannel, etc., and includes only raw materials which actually go into finished Red Cross products. The $684.42 charged as relief of dependents of soldiers and sailors, represents the expense of the home service department for only a half year, as this department was organized in January. It represents, not only the financial aid given to the families of our fighters, but also the salary of the full time secretary for this period.

AT FOUNTAIN CITY

Threshing in Wayne county was started Monday and Tuesday in Washington and Franklin townships, and by the - latter part of the week work in almost all wheat and oat fields in the county will be under way. There will be a, big saving this year. J. C. Kline, Wayne county agriculture agent said, if the threshermen will comply with the government's request and eliminate all waste. "I have been asked to request the threshermen to place canvass beneath the feeder and sacker of their machines, and this undoubtedly will save many bushels of wheat," Mr. Kline said. "I. have also requested the farmers to see that the wagons in which they haul the shocks to the threshing machine are tight enough to prevent stalks slipping through onto the ground." Ordinarily, the county agent said, there is an average loss of 3 bushels out of every 100 threshed, because of carelessness on the part of farmers and threshermen, and it is this loss that the government is trying to overcome. Men on the reserve list for work in the harvest fields, who have signed to give a part of their time to helping the farmers, may be called upon in a few days to gointo the fields. It is not thought that the labor shortage in Wayne county will prove very ser

ious, and only those who have stated they are experienced in their application pledges, will be called upon.

Failure of German Offensive Due Largely to Allied Fliers

(By Associated Press.l WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 9. While the main resistance to a great enemy drive must necessarily come from the artillery and infantry, it is not always realized how much the allied air force contributes to the work of applying the brakes to the Germany military machine. During the early stages of an offensive, the whole character of air fighting changes. While maintaining re

connaissance and bombing behind the

enemy's lines, a great number of machines are sent up with a roving commission to harass and impede the advance by causing the maximum of insonveniences. They attack cross roads and important junctions, they destroy dumps and transports and they disperse concentrations of troops. For this work some of the fastest and most mobile of fighting machines are employed, flown by pilots specially trained for obstructive fighting. In modern war an advance must go

by time-table. An hour's delay in taking an objective, the result of an unexpected obstinate resistance at a vital point, may lead to dislocation of the whole movement. There can be little doubt that the failure of the German command to develop the initial advantages gained in the fighting this spring was due largely to the splendid work done by the entente airmen.
