Clearwater Sun: Tampa business
men have decided to favor the employ
ment of home people-people who
stay in that city all the year round
instead of giving employment to float
ers who are here only for few
months during the busy winter sea-
son. That is the right spirit. The
hundreds who come to Florida to find
wintertime jobs in mild climate over,
stock the supply of clerical workers
end as a rule are willing to work fol-
a few dollars a week-just enough tc
pay for cheap board and laundry
bills. This, in turn, works hardship
upon the stenographers, typewriters
bookkeepers, clerks, music teachers
mechanics and laborers and Others
who stay the year around and are de
pendent upon business firms for :
living. 1t is time to say hurrah fol

TEUTON ADVANCE SLOWED
Russians Halt Austro-Germans at
Some Points.

London, Sept 25.-Military activi-
ties on the Eastern front are once
more assuming the familiar phase of a
slow German advance, following the
recent impetuous rush of the invaders
The German plan of dividing the Rus
sian armies north and south of the
Pripet has been a strategic success in
a way, but the immediate effect of the
severance was to throw an increased
burden on the Austrians, who seem
unable to check the Russian drive.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad state that the latest Russian vic
tory, northwest of Dobno. is of more
Importance than was revealed by the
official communication from Petro-
grad, involving recapture of the for
tress of Lutsk. northwest of Pubno.
Relinquishing this fortress the Aus
trians retired across the Styr.
All the way from the Baltic port OF
Riga to the Pripet marshes the Rus
SLAMS are holding their line stubborn
ly in an attempt to bring their long
retirement to an end The fighting
is particularly severe southeast oi
Wilma and east of Dvinsk.
