SIX TIME REPULSE
OF GERMANS BY A
LARGE BRITISH FORCE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, Aug. 1.-THE first time
in weeks no change of Importance
was reported in any theater of war
Thursday. The most violent fighting
occurred on the western end of the
British salient on the Somme. Six
times Germans advanced in desperate
efforts to bend back the British lines
northwest Of Pozieres, but London re-
ports the assaults were repulsed with
heavy losses and that the British
captured trenches northwest Of Ba-
zenith.
Both Russians and Austro-Ger-
mans have been uncommunicative
about the situation on the eastern
front, where it is claimed, nothing of
importance has occurred. Vienna
tells of the repulse of Russian at
tacks on the lines of General Won
Boehermoli, commanding the leu
tonic forces, retiring from the Tarno-
pol front.
Berlin reports the repulse of Rus
sian attacks south of Brody.
Rome reports that General Cador-
ma is trying to straighten his lines
before making a general offensive
against Trieste, the great Austrian
seaport. Austrian seaplanes again
raided Venice, Rome say, but caused
but little damage.

MONEY IS PUT
OUT IN CITY
Thousands of Dollars Are
Distributed to Railroad
and City Employees.

During the past couple of days
thousands of dollars have been dis
tributed in Pensacola, the first half
Of the months work being paid for by
the pay train over this division of the
L. & N, and the same period being
paid for by the city, when all depart
ments were paid off, between $4,000
and $1,000 being distributed by the
city, and possibly five times that
amount having been distributed by
the railroad company's pay wagon.
The pay car went eastward yester-
day morning, going as far as River
Junction, and taking care of" all en-
ployes on that division. It returned
to the city last night and leaves for
the north some time this morning.
Since the railroad company has
adopted the twice-a-month pay day,
hundreds of employees seem to enjoy
the real innovation in number of
ways. One pay day, it is said, is
made with cash, while the succeeding
one is with checks, which are mailed
here. This explains the once-a-month
trip Of the pay car.

Stricken From Huge
Naval Bill.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Aug. 17,-Senate and
house conference today agreed to re-
tain in the naval bill the $4,000 900
appropriation for equipment of the
navy yard at Norfolk, Charleston,
New Orleans, Puget Sound, Boston,
Portsmouth and Philadelphia to build
warships.
The $1,25O,OOO appropriation for
additional improvements for the
Charleston yard, including a drydock,
was stricken out.
Chairman TilIman, of the senate
naval committee, consented to have
the special Charleston appropriation
stricken out after Chairman Padgett,
of the house committee, had promised
that he would support a similar APP
preparation next year provided a COM
mission authorized to investigate the
ACCESSIBILITY of such project report
ed favorably.
An appropriation of 100000 for a
new wharf at the New Orleans navy
yard was also stricken out.
The examinations reduce the total
of the naval bill to 1913, 391, 843.
81 yielded on the Charleston APP
preparation" said Senator Tillman,
against the wishes of South Caro-
lima members of the house, for the
reason that a commission is author
lied to investigate the advisability of
improving existing or establishing
an additional navy yard on the At
lantic coast, south of Cape Hatteras,
to report as early as possible.
Charleston courts investigation

Gently paid my respects to pork bar

DEMONSTRATION WORK

The board of directors of the cham
Der of commerce is interesting itself
in the question of farm demonstra-
ton work, and have authorized Jas.
F. Phillips, secretary of the associa-
ton, to write the county board asking
commissioners at what time it will be
most convenient to hold a joint ses-
sion for the purpose of discussing the
proposition.
The question of continuing the
work in Escambia county was brought
up at the meeting of the directors

chamber of commerce was interested
in the matter by G. K. McQuarrie,
who urged them to take the question
up, after the county board had re-
fused to make the necessary appro-
priation.

LAGOON ROAD
WORK TOBEGIN
IMMEDIAT ELY
Engineer Who Built Roads
of Walton County, to
Have Charge.
CONVICT LABOR
TO BE USED
Plan Adopted After Failure
To Borrow Money On
Next Year.

Construction work on the Gulf
Beach Highway will be commenced
within the next few days, according
to announcement made last night by
Chairman Ben S. Hancock, the work
to be done with the county convicts
and equipment.
The engineering work on the road
will be under the supervision of j. S.
CASTOR, who is expected to arrive in
Pensacola the early part of next
week. Mr.. CASTOR has had wide
experience as road engineer and is
considered thoroughly capable of
building the road to the lagoon. The
system of roads in Walton county
were built under his direction and are
considered some of the best in this
section. He also constructed the
roads in Sumpter county, Georgia.
Mr.. Barrineau said that the county
has been unsuccessful in its attempts
to raise funds for carrying on the
road work, and that as far as ne per-
sonally is concerned the proposition
for using the convicts is agreeable
to him.
In this connection he said that his
only provision would be that the ex-
perienced county guards be employed,
because, as chairman of the board,
he feels that there is a certain re-
sponsibi1ity fos the care of the con-
victs and the county's property,
which must be safeguarded.
The present decision is the outcome
Of a proposition the board of county
commissioners recently made to the
highway committee, to solve the prob
lem of keeping the county convicts
at work, without too great a cost to
the county. It was originally plan
ned to borrow sufficient money, on
the budget for the ensuing year. to
defray the cost of the repairs made
necessary by the hurricane of july
8, but upon failure of negotiations
in this matter the present plan was
substituted.

tary and the treasurer, and his com-
mittee, the Cats Club will have thir-
ty-four officers.

was present at Thursday's meeting

A number of speeches were made
endorsing Cats and attacking in I'M
measured language everybody who
favored Knott. No matter what the
supreme court held in the alleged
election fraud case, and even if Mr..
Knott were declared the democratic
nominee on the recount, it was stated
that anybody who favored Knott
was boiling the democratic ticket.
The work of organizing Cats Clubs
in the country precincts is under
way.

INVITATION WIRED
TO RAILWAY CHIEFS

Washington, Aug. 17-President
Wilson today invited the presidents
of the principal railroads of the coun-
try to come to Washington immediate
ly to confer with him on the threat
ened railway strike. Pending their
arrival he does not plan to see the
committee of managers here with
whom he has been meeting.
The president sent the following
telegram to the leading railroad pres
idents:
Discussion of the matters involved
in the threatened railroad strike has
reached point which makes it high
ly desirable that should personally
confer with you at the earliest posi-
BILE moments and with the presidents
of any other railways affected who
may be Immediately accessible. Hope
you can make it convenient to come to
Washington at once"
The presidents action in asking for
conferences with the railroad presi-
dents. themselves is interpreted as
meaning that the managers commit
tee had refused finally to concede
the eight hour day as the presidents
plan proposed and the question. now
is to be taken up with the heads of
the railroads themselves.
The situation as it stood today was
this:
The railroads fatty refuse to con-
cede the eight hour day but are will
ing to arbitrate that question and all
others before any tribunal the presi-
dent or the men may decide upon.
The men are willing to arbitrate
some questions under certain condi-
tons and are willing to arbitrate
others.
Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern
and George w. Stevens, of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio, and w. ]. Harahan,
of the Seaboard Air Line, were
among the railroad presidents invit-
ed.

BEEN BITTEN BY
SNAKEYET? YOU'D
BETTER WATCH OUT

New York, Aug. 17.-Deaths
from snake bites in the United
States are increasing, according
to Raymond L. Ditmars, cura-
tor at the Bronx Geological Park.
There are three or four deaths ev-
cry year now," said Mr.. Ditmars,
whereas four or five years ago
it was rare to hear of more than
one every other year.
''The increase is in the timber
ed regions of the east. Here in
the east, people do not realize
how common poisonous snakes
are. I think the copperheads
and tattlesnakes are on the in
crease in the east, due to the sec
ond growth timber coming up"
Rattlesnake bites, Mr.. Ditmars
said, are seldom fatal if properly
treated, copperhead bites almost
never.
