on troop train which passed through
Pensacola last night, en- route to

friends were admitted through the
gates to the train. and an exchange
of greetings and later farewells were
the order of the night.
All of the young men appear to be
in the best of health, and expressed
pleasure in being thus able to do their
bit for Uncle Sam. Practically no
restriction was placed upon those
whose homes were in Pensacola by
officers in charge except that they

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.
The Russian and Italian war the
atres continue the centers of inter
est. In the former the Germans are
still pressing the Russians in a re-
treat from the Riga section, while the
Italians continue to harass the Aus
TRANS, but the enemy is offering a
stout resistance.
With the Russian front broken
over forty miles, the province of
Livonia is being rapidly overrun by
the invaders. Disaffection among the
fleeing Russians is more apparent,
as the Germans are pressing on all
sides. Reported that a German fleet
was seen in the Gulf of Finland,
which may be plan to bottle up the
Russian feet.
On the Carso plateau, in the ltal-
ian theatre where Bavarian troops
were appealed to for by Austrians,
there has been counter attacks
against the Italians advances in great
strength, but were unsuccessfully
waged.
The Western war front in France
and Belgium remains virtually quiet,
except artillery actions and a re-
newal of activity in the Macedonian
front as recorded in the French Of
fetal report.
