Liberty bond owners who intend to march should read the official program printed in the The Times today, so they may find their proper places in the line. Washington laid aside all cares today and prepared to show the world its bond-buying patriotism. With banners flying and Liberty loan buttons gleaming in the sunlight, a great procession of men, women, and children—an estimated 50,000 of them—each one the owner of a Liberty bond, waited for the word that will send the marching columns down Pennsylvania avenue in a parade that in some respects will be most significant in the history of the National Capital. Spirit Is Martial. To the strains of patriotic music from many bands, the marching columns this afternoon will proclaim the patriotic spirit of the people of Washington and their willingness to make the material sacrifices to provide the sinews of war for those who are (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.)

LONDON, April 26.—German forces have secured a footing on Mont Kemmel, one of the most important heights in Flanders following an all day battle on a ten-mile front, Field Marshal Haig reported today. "After severe fighting throughout the day on the Bailleul-Hollebeke front, the enemy obtained a footing on Kemmel hill," Haig said. LONDON, April 26.—The Germans are again making a determined effort to capture Kemmel ridge, a strategic stretch of high ground in Belgium just west of the lower end of Messines ridge. A belated report from the German war office, issued last night and received here early today, stated that General Sixt von Arnim's army was fighting for possession of Kemmel ridge and the village of Kemmel [[on]] the crest.

Australian troops have played a brilliant part in the fighting south of the Somme river (opposite Amiens). Australian forces, in conjunction with English soldiers, attacked in the sector of Villers Bretenneux and not
