Washington Sees End Of
Mere Defensive Warfare
Washington. July IS.—Word that
the French were striking ibe Ger
mans on a 25-mile front below the
Aisne sent a wave of enthusiasm
through the War Department today
when the first bulletin came in.
Every official accepted it as proof
that the long days of purely defen
sive operations are ended, and that
General Foch. 'argely because of the:
million American soldiers that have
been rushed overseas, now is able to
use aggressive tactics.
At first glance and without any
definite information as to the French
counter stroke, officers were inclinea
to believe it a diversion in force to
relieve pressure on the front of the
German offensive. It is the first ex
tensive counter blow the Allies have
been able to attempt since the Ger
man onslaught began last March.
Striking to the ast and north the
counter stroke threatens the rear of
the German assault on the eastern
flank of the whole Aisne salient,
where the enemy is pressing down
the Marne valley and through the
woods west of Rheims with the evi
dent purpose of cutting off Rheims
and forcing its evacuation
It was thought here, on the face
of early advices, that the French
counter stroke was designed to draw
off German reserves heretofore held
for the purpose of pressing througn
the gap in the French positions along
the Marne and from that river to
ward Rheims.
American forces probably are en
gaged to some extent in the counter
blow, acting now on the right flank
of the forward movement, as they
.previously held fast on the left flank
of the defense against the German
drive which opened last Monday.
The American positions as last
known definitely extend to the north
and west of Belleau, which is given
as the southern extremity of the
French counter stroke.
Fighting “Fodder.”
Paris, July 18. —In praising the
fighting qualities of the American
troops. Col. de Thoraasson, a mili
tary writer, in concluding his article
on the battle situation today, says
he cannot resist the pleasure of quot
ing a passage concerning the Ameri
cans from the semi-official Norddeut
sche Allgemeine Zeitung. The Ger
man paper declared:
“These American soldiers are can
non fodder. They are incapable of
standing up to our seasoned troops.
America has been powerless to train
the forcibly enlisted men she has
shipped to Europe.”
-the tfr&irigr AmefTrattTTreatea a'
crack German division at Fossoy,
says Col. de Thomassdn, perhaps may
give the German writer food for re
flection.
Kaiser Watched Offensive.
Amsterdam, July 18.—Emperor
William watched the opening of the
latest German offensive from an ad
vanced observation post northwest
of Rheims, his favorite correspond
ent, Karl Rosner, reports in a dis
patch to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger.
“The Emperor,” says the corres
pondent, in hi scustomary florid
style, "listened to the terrible or
chestra of our surprise fire attack
and looked upon the unparalleled
picture of the projectiles raging to
ward the enemy positions.”

iWhat English Women can '
Do, Our Women Can Do
I
i The services ol efficient v omen are \
■ called lor everywhere during this j
great war now v. aging. In order to
fill the great demand, sacrifices will
have to be made. Sacrifice is the j
spirit of England today it such aj
trivial word car be pardoned—it is j
the fashion. Before the world's i
great struggle for freedom can be i
won it must become the spirit of j
• America as well.
You see no spring fancies worn by j
English women. But you see uni- j
forms everywhere. You see no plea- I
sure or joy rides, but you see j
women driving trucks and loading |
sacks of flour. Y'ou see no idling or |
indulgence, but you see girls in plain j
khaki and unlovely leather hats—— j
thousands and thousands of them — |
doing the work of men everywhere, i
And not for novelty or amusement, !
please note; not tor advertising or !
to get their pictures in the papers; j
but, with composed and often grim |
and tired faces, one day after anoth
er. without complaint.
There is no law or compulsion j
about the burdens these women have '
taken on themselves. Simply, they :
have learned the lesson of the war. j
Sugar, meat, fat are fighting poten- :
tials. Wood, coal, gasoline, are fight,
ing power. Every job taken over
means another fighter for the front.
And the women are attending to
these things themselves by tacit and
unanimous agreement, willingly, de
votedly.
In our own community there is ]
much work to do. There are calls
for women to knit sweaters and
socks; to sew for the soldiers and the
French-Belgian refugees; to make
surgical dressings; to take positions
made vacant by the draftees. Plen
ty of work. Arc you wide awake to
this situation? We are proud to say
that much interest has already been
shown in our town, and not only in
the town, but throughout the county.
\ r et, there should be more to volun
teer their services. There are those
who are willing, but do not offer
themselves. Do not wait to be call
ed upon individually, see to it that
you are going to do your part in this j
work. The women realize that the
war can only be won in the last test
by the nation at home, and that they j
are the nation at home, and they are j
going to win it by sacrifice, whatever !
that may be.
How would you like to go shop
ping for the family table, and hold
your meat supply down to a quarter’s
; worth each week? How would you
like to take your own sugar in your
pocket when you drop in for tea,and
no more than a spoonful at that?
How would you like to givt up your
automobile, and vour maids, and
your flowers, and your bonbons, and
your year’s wardrobe, your summer
in the country, and your general good
time all around to work and to live, (
day in and day out, as a factory girl, |
for the sake of your country?
Perhaps you think yon wouldn’t
like such a program. Perhaps you
think the notion ridiculous that you
j shouljl comq to things, volun
tarily, as a matter of choice. But
you are wrong. The women of Eng
land are doing these very things and
plenty of others of the same kind,
and they do them with a readiness
and a quiet acceptation of sacrifice.
What they can do, we surely can,
too. ' Let us bs up and doing before
it is too late.

Notice
to OUR
Subscribers
On account of the increased prices of everything
tliat goes into the publication of a newspaper, the cost
of publishing The Daily Banner has increased to such at:
extent as to make it imperative that we increase the sub
scription pric. We shall not, as have the city papers,
arbitrarily double the price of the paper, hut. starting
with the week of July 22nd, the price of the paper will
Ik- increased one cent a week; th~ is, after this week,
the carriers 'will collect 6c. for the paper instead of 5c.,
as heretofore.
We feel certain that this advance in price will meet
with the approval of all ol our subscribers, for nii of
them are well acquainted with the advances that have
taken place in practically everything that is consumed
hy the public.
The advances have probably hit newspapers harder
than some other business interests, on account of the
fact that they are not always in h position to pass the
increased costs on to their patrons. The paper niton
which newspapers are published is costing twice as much
as before the war; the materials used are from 50 to 500
per rent higher than at that time.
The suhscri|>tion price of the paper by mail will be
!jt;?,00 a year; $1.50 for six months;7sc. for three months
We confidently hope that it will not be necessary
for us to make another increase in our subscription
rates, and feel confident that the public will consider the
increase justifiable and necessary - : in fact, during the
past year many persons have voluntarily come to us with
the suggestion that we make tin increase, and practically
all of these have suggested a much greater ineiease than
we are making.
Cambridge is the only town on the Eastern Shots 1
of Maryland that has a daily newspaper; The Banner
has attained its legal majority, having been established
twenty-one years ago, and while the war has worked
some hardships anti caused many trying situaturns—as it
has to every other business—we face tlie future with con
fidence, anti ho|>e to continue for many years to come
to serve the best interests of (lie community.

EXPOSES SEARS-ROEBBUCK
Big Mail Order House Forbidden to
Continue False Advertising.
The Federal Trade Commission
has issued an order forbidding Sears,
Roebuck & Co. to continue "unfair
methods of competition” in advertis
ing it is selling sugar below cost and
in misrepresenting its teas by“falsc
ly stating in its catalogues that it
sends a special representative to Ja
pan who goes into the tea gardens
there and personally supervises the
picking of the tea.”
The order prohibits further circu
lation of catalogues “containing ad
! vertisements offering coffee for sale
; in which it is falsely stated the com
| pany purchases all of its coffees di
i rectly from the best plantations of
i the world.”

How To Send Mail
To Men In Service
When a parcel is presented to a 1
■ postofflce, express company or frei
ght station for shipment to an Amer
ican soldier in France, it must be ac
companied by a written request from
the soldier, approved by a major or
I higher commanding officer. The ap
| proval of a Company Commander is
| not sufficient.
| Persons connected with the Red
I Cross, the Y. M. C. A. or other orga
| nization in France must make a re
} quest for articles i na similar man-
I ner, the approval of an executive offi
cer of the organization being neces
jsary in such cases.
Relatives and friends will find they
often can do a greater service to
soldiers by sending them money for
the purchase of articles in France,
than by forwarding the articles. To
bacco is now being supplied as part
of the Army rations. Merchandise of
practically all kinds can be purchas
ed in France through a general store
j established by the Quartermaster
Corps.
| The restrictions governing the
; shipment of parcels do not apply to
newspapers and magazines. These
can be mailed without any request
from the intended recipient and with
out military approval.

gotten up. A number of the band j
men were consulted and a notice was •
published, asking those interested to j
meet the band men at their former |
headquarters.
Out of this meeting a committee !
composed of Messrs. Albanus Phil
lips. Martin W. Smith, I . Watson
Webb, Carlton M. Yates, A. Shepherd
Bayly and Russell P. Smith, was j
named to solicit funds and make ar- j
rangements for the financial needs of
the organization. Messrs. M. W.
Smith and Carlton M. Yates have
;
been the active men in the commit- j
tee, and they advise that about half ,
of the amount needed has been j
pledged and collected. The sum of j
SSOO was needed to get such addi
tional instruments as were required,
and to pay other expenses in connec
tion with putting the band in such
shape as to insure its future.
There are a great many persons
who have stated that they want to
make a contribution to this fund;
there are many others who will
cheerfully do so, and in order that
the remainder of the fund may be
quickly raised, will not all such per
sons kindly see some member of
the committee, or some member of
the bahd, and either give them the
contribution or make a pledge of
whatever sum they desire tO' give?
These are busy times; everyone is
rushed, there aie few people of leis
ure, and people should not wait, or
ex,pect to be begged. Th eband, as
was noticeable last night, furnishes
pleasure to the people not only of
Cambridge, but of th eentire county,
beyond an estimate of cost, and cer
tainly there are enough generous
minded people to raise quickly the
other $250 needed to complete this
fund.
