Vienna and Berlin claim new ad-
vances along the entire front. Pet
rograd claims that the Teutons have
been held or hurled back at vital
points. The Russian resistance
seems strongest south of Lubin,
where serious breach would mean
cutting the LublinChelm railroad
and dividing the Russian armies,
north and south Petrograd claims
that their counter attacks have
driven the Germans back along a
narrow line north of Warsaw and
the Russians assert also that their
lines on the left bank of the Vistula
are holding.
In the Baltic provinces the Ger
man Outposts are barely twenty
miles from Riga.
Along the Austro-Italian front
Rome claims a gain Of part of the
heights commanding the Gerizia and
Isonzo bridges from the right bank.
The latest from Vienna declares

checked and the heights taken by
the Italians recaptured.

WANTS STATE AIMS HOUSE
AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, July 22-"The need
for state almshouse is increasing
every day( and | think 1t would be
good plan for movement to be
started to get one established" said
Councilman W. r. Sebring this
morning in discussing the new plan
Of barring outsiders from receiving
free treatment at st. Luke's Hos
pital at the city's epxense.
when you come to think of it, it
is not a pleasant thing to contem-
plate this shutting the door upon
sick persons, when they come to you
and ask for aid," said Councilman
Sebring further. Some might say
that astate almshouse would be too
expensive, but think that this
hadicap can be eliminated if each
county is required to pay its shahe
toward support of the institution.
Furthermore, think that Jack
sonville is the ideal place for the
location of the almshouse. We are
centrally located for the persons
coming away from their native city
or town on railroad trains and, as
the majority of them do come here
at the present time, when they are
seeking free treatment or assistance
/ believe the location of such an in
stitution here would be u benefit
not only to Jacksonville, but to the
entire state"
