WAS BAD DAY
TEUTONS
Both Germany and Austria
Admit Losses of Sew
eral Positions.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, July 16.-Heavy fighting
of the last four days in the region of
the Somme has dwindled perceptibly
and on Sunday there were only the
heavy bombardments OF the British
front and a comparatively calm on
French line, but northwest of Thiau-
mont the French penetrated the Ger
man FIRST line srenels. s
In east, Russians resumed the ag-
gressive around Lutsk and heavy
fighting was resumed in which the
Austrians claim all the Russian at
tacks were repulsed. Neither Wen
ma nor Retrograd officially mentions
the Carpathian situation, but Petro-
grad reports as captured from the
Turks the important town of Baiburt,
sixty miles south of Trezibend.
Italians are still making Roadway
against Austrians, according to Rome
especially on the Posina line, and
have repulsed all violent Austrian
counter attacks with heavy losses to
the Austrians.

Senate Democrats Work
With That Possibility
in View.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, July 16.-The senate
democrats have determined to ad
journ congress by August 20, if pos
sible, and the work of speeding up
the legislative program as outlined
at the democrative caucus late last
night begins in earnest tomorrow.
When debate on the naval appro-
priation bill is resumed, the demo-
Gratis will seek to hold tie republi-
cans to their pledge of cooperation
and will urge all democrats to limit
the debate. The big building pro-
gram will probably be disposed Of
in two or three days. After that will
come the army bill carrying three
hundred and twenty million dollars
and it is hoped to send both to con-
ference the latter part of this week.
The senate will then be ready to take
up the shipping bill which promises
to develop the onl yserious opposi-
ton confronting any of the admins
tration's imperative program.

TO POST
BY THURSDAY
Of: THIS WEEK
Announcement to This Eff
feet Authorized by
Electric Company.
NOW OPERATED
TO BAYOU GRANDE
Large Force of Workrnen
Are Kept Busy Daily
Repairing Trestle.

Cars to the navy yard and Fort
Barrancas by Thursday morning of
this week, is the promise last night
held out by officials of the Pensa-
cola Electric Company. The cars are
now operated only to, the north side
Of Bayou Grande, because the trestle
spanning that bayou was so badly
damaged during the late storm.
Residents along the bay shore have
had the convenience of regular SEIZED
ules since a few days after the storm,
the company seeing to it that the
cars went just as far as it was safe
to operate them. Upon completing
the repair work on the Bayou Grande
trestle, work train, of course, will
be the first to pass over and test it,
and this is expected to be done by
Wednesday night of this week. There
fore, it is expected, the regular sched-
ule viii be resumed through to Fort
Barrancas Thursday morning.
The large number of employees at
the navy yard have faced a hard
problem in getting to and from work.
They have gone by auto truck, boat
and many have walked.

twenty-five Per Cent Will
Cover All Losses, Says
Chamber of Commerce
Secretary, Who Sees in
Storm an Awakening to
Our Possibilities.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Bombay, July 16.-The section Of
West Florida lying west of the Chat
tahoochie and Apalachicola rivers has
just passed through flood and storm
of unprecedented fury, with the Ger
tainty today, with all Of the damage
in sight, that West Florida still will
deliver the greatest and most valua-
bic diversified crops in its history.
From Pensacola to Chattahoochee
the damage has been less than over
any other similar area in adjoining
states, according to a personal inves-
tigation made by the secretary of the
West Florida Chamber of Commerce.
While the commissioner of 4gricul-
ture of Alabama has estimated the
crop damage of Alabama at so per
cent, Is per cent would be a high fig
ure to place on the crop damage in
the new diversified farming belt that
includes Apalachicola, St. Andrews,
Panama City, Lynn Haven, Mariana,
Blountstown, Chipley, Bombay, Mona,
Ponce de Leon, DeFuniak, Crestview,
Milligan, Baker, Laurel Hill, Milton,
Munson, Pensacola and other towns
as its principal marketing and distrib-
uting centers.
AS much of the high priced early
watermelon crop has been moved the
loss on melons was considerably less
ened, although probably the damage
to this crop will be felt keenest. In
the majority, all Of the corn crop is
flourishing vigorously following the
storm and the same may be said Of
all other forage crops, while the late
crops that will be planted during the
next two weeks viii more than offset
the loss.
Some old wooden bridges were
washed out, with the result that the
county commissioners are already fig
uring on replacing them with more
modern structures, the general. result
of the storm in this case being for
good rather than for ILL., There was
no loss of life in West Florida, a sur
prising fact when it is considered that
the wind reached a velocity of 104
miles an hour in the city of Pensacola
Some livestock was lost, but this loss
twas confined mainly to hogs. More
hogs were drowned in two counties
of Southern Alabama than in all the
ten counties of West Florida.
That Is per cent on crops will Gov
er all the general loss is the report
of the secretary, based on figures
from county agents, leading farmers
and others with data at hand. The
West Florida Chamber of Commerce
considers the storm and flood as sim.
ply another means of awakening the
progressive farmers of "The Las
Great West" to the bigger. opportuni.
ties ahead.

corning the construction and general
planning Of the silo.
It was stated that Mr.. Barrinean
had decided to save some Of the corn
that was damaged by the hurrincane,
and to do so was erecting the silo
so that it could be stored. In this
way, Mr.. Hiatt said, much ofgthe crop
would be saved, and the loss would be
appreciably lessened.
In commenting on the new silo Mr..
Hiatt said that if the county had
more of them very little loss would
be sustained from the storm, as when
corn is raised as food for hogs, 1t
could be silaged, but when It was

through sheer good fortune--for Mil

was a serious one, but that the
corn could in many cases be silag-
