issued the permit for the erection of
the new hospital building on North
Twelfth avenue, and the estimated
cost os the building. according to the
application for the document from the
building inspectors office, is placed at
$4,000.
This will be in excess, il is said, ot
the cost of any structure in the city
OF Pensacola, and 1t goes to show
what a promisingly handsome building
the place will be once completed.
A small army Of workmen are busy
there during each good working day in
the week. and one thing which is be-
ing built now is the wall footing ON
placements. This part Of the work IS
regarded as the most important in the
construction of the building, and con-
tractor and architect are constantly
on hand, seeing to It that this feature
will be carried out to the letter

The German headquarters staff re-

From Petrograd, however, it is Off
ciaIIy asserted that 1.-The Russian troops
continue to drive the enemy from the
borders of the Suwall1i and LonZa gov
ernments and there has been contin-
ually determined fighting west of
Simno. The German troops which at
tackled Casowetz are retreating pre-
cipitately to the north.
Petrograd also announces that con-
siderable forces Of the enemy are con-
centrated in the western districts OF
the provinces of Petrokoff and Kielce,
Russian Poland.
The Franco-British naval operations
against Pola, the Austrian base or t1e
Adriatic, are viewed with marked IN
terest as they are likely to affect the
italian attitude towards participation
or otherwise in the war.
