PHOSLIME MEN MEET

All the state travelling men of the
Florida Soft Phosphate & Lime COM
pany were present at a semi-annual
meeting at the offices of the company
today.
The object of the meeting was to
compare notes and devise the best
methods for placing Phoslime in every
nook and corner of the state.
Reports from every section of the
territory were gone over and they
were most satisfactory to the stock
holders and officers. Every one of
the company's travelling men is a
hustler and there is probably not a
better organized publicity force in
connection with any concern in the
state than that of the Florida Soft
Phosphate and Lime Company.
Considering that Phoslime was en-
tirely unknown two years ago the re.
cord of the company's business is
most remarkable. Mr.. w. S. Hilands
president, says that the seasons sales
are so far in advance of their expecta.
tions as to make everybody connected
with the company feel jubilant.

GLEAVES' REPORT

The detailed report of Rear Ad-

has been received and forwarded to
Chairman Tillman of the Senate nav
al affairs committee. 1t is understood
to bear out the brief report of Secre-
tary Daniels that the ships were at
tackled and the submersibles beaten
off. This report was attacked as ex-
aggerated.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The allied
assault on the German flank has made
profound impression here, because
in the judgment of many American
officers it was directed against the
most vulnerable point on the entire
German front. A complete success
for the Allies in this offensive will be
an immediate answer to the U-boat
warfare.
The possibilities of new offensive
is produced in the suggestion that if
the allied front be extended to the
Dutch frontier the Netherlands might
join the Allies.

COMPARED WITH PREVIOUS
YEARS

This years cotton crop gives prom
Use of a total yield of 11,949,000
equivalent 500-pound bales. The de-
partment of agriculture forecast that
quantity today basing it's estimate on
the condition of the crop on July %,
as reported by it's thousands of agents
throughout the belt. The effect of
July growing conditions is shown by
the department on conditions existing
June 25. Last year the total produc-
tion was 11,449,930 bales, two years
ago, 11,191, ,820; three years ago, 49,
134,93O (the record CROP, and four
years ago, 14,156,486. This years
final production probably will be larg-
er or smaller than the amount fore
cast today according as conditions
hereafter are better or worse than
average conditions.
The condition of the crop on July
25 was 70.3-10 per cent of normal,
compared with 70.3 per cent on June
25 this year, 1928 on July 25 year
ago, 75.4 two years ago, and IT'S the
July rs average of the last ten years.

On the Ground Taken in Flanders Sector in
Yesterdays Offensive
HDERD TODAY BY TORRENTA RAINS BUT MAY Be RESUMED WHEN BIG
GUNS ARE BROUGHT UP
(Assoiae Pres0

The Allies in Flanders are consoli-
dating ground and beating off coun-
ter attacks in the wide territory gain
ed yesterday, while torrential rain
hampers operations. The new line
is from one to two and half miles
ahead of the old positions and in
cludes ten towns. The logical sup
position is that the battle will be con-
tinued as soon as the heavy guns can
be brought up.
In allied capitals the opinion is ex-
pressed that the battle may last for
weeks or months. 1t is believed the
plan is to attempt to drive a wedge
deep enough into the German lines to
force a retirement on a large front.
This would threaten the submarine
bases on the Belgian coast.
Importance is reflected in the des-
peration of the furious counter at
tacks of the Teutons.
The Germans attacked in France
between Avocourt and hill 304, but
they. were stopped when they reached
some advanced elements.

NO DOCTORS CONSCRIPTED

If all of the cities of the size of
Ocala had the same patriotism among
their physicians as Ocala has, there
would be no need of the talk of con-
scripting physicians for army duty.
Just about half of the doctors of the
city have volunteered and have their
commissioners to enter the army,
while several have already gone to
the training camps.

AMERICANS DROVE SUBS OFF

American Naval Base in British
Waters, July 31.-American destroy
ers today reported having engaged
two submarines simultaneously six
miles distant, causing both of them to
speed away and submerge without
firing a shot-typical of the behavior
of submarines when they see destroy
ers.
One of the submarines has jpst
sunk a steamer by gunfire; the second
was attacking a merchantmen when
the destroyers opened fire. The Sec
ond submarine, which is described as
a supertype, almost as long as a de-
stroyer, raced off and submerged at
the first shots, but the other, which
had sunk the steamer, displayed un-
usual boldness, remaining up several
minutes while the destroyer dropped
shells around her. Only when shell
splashed within twenty-five yards OF
the submarine did she submerge, ac.
cording to the crew of the steamer,
who watched the attack from a small
boat close by, and who later were
rescued by the destroyers and brought
here.
