Today's Gainesville Sun has the
following:
The time has come to say goodbye
to the soldier boys who have been en-
camped in Gainesville for several
weeks past, for it is understood that
orders came late last night to entrain
Sunday.
Gainesville has been proud OF the
privilege of entertaining a portion OF
Florida's three fighting units of the
joyed the excellent music furnished
by the band, but no more delightful
concerts can be given here after Sat
urday and last fond good-byes must
be spoken Sunday. The boys will go
into earnest training and will be pre-
pared as quickly as possible for trans
| fer to the fighting front, and not the
least doubt exists in anybody's mind
that the Second Florida Infantry will
give a good account of themselves il
it falls to their lot to get into the
thickest of the fight.
Let the people of Gainesville pre-
pare to give the soldiers royal send
| off.
The regiment will go in training al

Regained in Part by Counter
Attacks of Russians
INTENSE STRUGGLE FOR MONTE SAN GABRIELLE CONTINUES
BETWEEN ITALIANS AND AUSTRIAtS
Associated Press)

The Russians, particularly in the
northern sector, are displaying a
!. fighting spirit, and have regained
some of the ground abandoned to the
Germans in the Riga district, accord
ing to official statements. Several
villages were occupied apparently
with the idea of consolidating the
defensive line which would be cohes-
regained territory and to organize a
i've in case of attack.
No important action is noted on
other fronts except where the Aus
trians and Italians are fighting for
Monte Gabrielle. Paris reports that
the French repulsed an attack on the
Aisne front in hand to hand fighting.
BERLIN CLAIMS THE MATTLE
Berlin states the "shock" of the
units launched against the French on
the Aisne front resulted in the taking
of second line French trenches with
heavy French losses. This may be
the same action alluded to in the
Paris statement. Berlin reports an
increasing artillery fire in Flanders,
where the Germans evidently expect
the British to attack.
CORPORAL MEEKER KILLED
Paris, Sept. 14.-Corporal Meeker

HIT EN- HARD
Embargo Caused Germans to Sit Up
and Take Notice at Once

and Take Notice at Once
Washington, September 14.-Uncle
Sans most effective war move has
been the embargo on all foodstuff,
fuel and steel shipments.
This has alarmed Germany more
than the threat of a million United
States soldiers in France.
Germany knows months must
elapse before we can transport big
army. But the effects of the embargo
has been immediate in cutting Ger
man supplies.
AS a result, a backfire of German
propaganda here claims the embargo
violates the rights of neutrals, for
which the United States has always
stood. The wall of the German sym
pathizer browns the protests of the
neutrals, nominally the sole sufferers.
The administration position, how
ever, is that there has been no change
toward neutrals As belligerent this
country must see that supplies neces-
sary for her and her allies are pro-
vided first. Any excess is available
for neutrals, nothing for the enemy.
There is the rub. The principal
/ imports of Holland, Denmark, Sweden
| and Norway the last three years have
been to maintain not life, but pros
! perity.
| We Fed Germany Indirectly
! Exports to Holland have been prin-
/ cipally feed for the great herds whose
/ butter and cheese has been sold to
/ Germany at immense profit. Exports
/ to Sweden have been supplies for fac
tories to maintain her profitable COM
merce with Germany. The situation
has been similar with Denmark and
| Norway.
In recognition of neutral rights the
exports council, enforcing the en-
/ barge, is investigating the actual
needs in all these countries adjacent
to Germany before announcing any
shipment policy.
We are ready to sell them any Of
our surplus they may need for them
selves. But we are not willing to sell
supplies to Germany, through middle
men neutrals, simply to maintain the
prosperity of neutral tradel
Preliminary reports indicate these
neutrals do not depend for their live

he be decorated. The second revela-

of what was going on. 1t is not ex-

ROBERT WARWICK IN THE ARGYLE CASE" TO BE AT THE TRIANON
One of Gripping Interest From Beginning to End

The feature on the programme Of the Trianon theatre tomorrow and Tuesday will be Robert Warwick in his first Selznick picture, "The Ar gyle Case" This is an adaptation of the famous detective drama that ran for two years on Broadway in New York and toured the country with ilr- mense success several seasons ago The play was the work of Harvey J. O'Higgins and Harriet Ford the cele- brated American dramatists, and Will liam J. Burns, the international de- tective, who collaborated with the au- thors in order to insure the realistic effectiveness of the use of such mod ern instruments of the science of de- lection as the dictograph and finger print photography.
 The result was detective drama that differed from any play of it's kind ever produced In this play the methods in which the detective fol lows up his clues and runs the mur- derer down are precisely the methods employed by such real detectives as MT. Burns. The old school detective of fiction, with his false whisllers and
 other ridiculous dsguises, is aban- doned in favor of a fine modern type of coura ageous and acute young man
 who solves his problems by clever hrain work with the aid of the latest scientific inventions.
 The story of "The Argyle Case" Is one that will hold every spectator en- thralled from beginning to end. It starts with the absorbing mystery Of the murder of old John Argyle an eccentric millionaire. Suspicion falls
 upon Argyles adopted daughter Mary. and while the police are trying to amass enough evidence to convict her Asche Kayton, private detective extraordinary, is called in to prove her innocence. In accomplishing this the trail leads into the den of the cleverest band of counterfeiters in America and the action of the play is replete with thrills and moments of nerve-racking suspense. In add-
 ton to it's interest as g mystery the story unfolds a charming romance be- tween the detective and the girl he saves
 As Kayton. MT. Warwick appears in probably the most sympathetic and entertaining role he has ever played for the screen. He is a perfect type for the part and gives to the perform ance a real distinctiveness and charm of personality. The star has been surrounded by cast of exceptional
