the artillery preparation as

He tells how the Germans held out
to the last and how the British
dashed forward against just such
German fire.
The Austrian statement declares

GOVERNOR TRAMMEL
VISITS BLACK POINT

Florida's chief executive Park
Trammell yesterday afternoon paid
an informal visit to state camp,
where the Second Florida infantry
and First Field hospital are await
ing orders to proceed to the Mex-
can border
Governor Trammell was unattend-
ed and only remained a short time in
camp. His visit was unheralded and
unexpected, and, as he arrived dur
ing a down pour of rain, no cere-
monies were attempted in his honor.
The troops had also just reached
camp frim a ten-mile hike and ma
neuyer. The governor was received
by Col. A. II. Blanding, command
ing the camp; Capt. George Nj. hol-
ley. United States army, inspector
instructor for Florida. and other Of
ficers.
A rumor was current in the city
last night that the field hospital and
possibly the infantry regiment would
break camp at a. m. today for the
border. There was no truth In the
report, however. All movement OF
troops to the border has been sus-
pended pending the utcome of eff
forts to avert a general railroad
strike. The war department conn-
termanded the orders for departure
upon the recommendation of Gen,
Funston.
oficers from the inspector gener-
ais department at Governors Island,

OF all the restrictions placed on the

the quantity OF liquor being shipped

closures by the police have tended
to show that much greater supply
