NEW HOSPITAL
AND NOW
In OPERATION
Four Patients the First Day
and Five the Second
is the Record.
OTHER HOSPITALS
WERE CLOSED UP
New Structure Commands
Much Attention From
People of Ali Glasses.

Pensacola's magnificent new hos
pital on North Twelfth avenue was
opened yesterday, and is now in full
operation. Four patients were re-
ceived the first day and five others
are expected to arrive today. Thus
the finest and most complete hospital
in the state has business from the
start. and is expected to be one of
the busiest institutions in the south
shortly.
The completeness of the magnif-
cent Pensacola hospital is a matter
of public knowledge, not only here
but in other states, and people of all
classes continue in their admiration
OF the institution.
While the building itself is COM
plete, the hospital grounds have not
acquired the full growth of the
lawns, shrubs, etc. The paving which
will be authorized by the ordinance
now pending before the city commits
sion, will be some weeks in construc-
tion before it has been, laid, and unit
this work is over, no extensive i'm.
provement of the grounds will be at
tempted.
Other hospitals in the city have
been closed up because of the open
ing of the new and more complete
institution, this step having been de-
cided upon long before the Pensa,
cola hospital was thrown open to the
public The Pensacola Sanitarium
closed its doors Monday night, after
practically every patient being cared
for had been sent home. Those un.
fortunate sufferers who were not wei
enough to go to their own homes Of
to their rooms, were transferred tx
the new hospital.

Dispatches from Berlin for some

next move of the Austrian and Ger

Poland and establishing strong de-

be to turn south and drive through

from Berlin that the Russians already
were preparing to evacuate these
provinces. The resumption of the Of
