He was obviously i'll at ease. and

Regulations Governing Such
Been Issued by Depart
rnent of Agriculture.
PENSACOLA ONE
OF PORTS NAMED
Expected Packers Will Later
Establish Plant Here and
Other Gulf Ports.
Washington Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 27.-The
Department of Agriculture has issued
the regulations governing the impor-
tation of tick infested cattle from
Mexico. South and Central AmeEica
| the islands of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea into those ports OF
the United States below the southern
cattle quarantine line and Is now
awaiting word from the ports on the
gulf coast that importation has be-
gun
ARRANGEMENTS have been made by
one of the big Chicago packers 70
open q branch at Mobile where cattle
will be imported, slaughtered at the
port and the meat shipped to the
interior.
It is expected that the packers will
later establish plants at Pensacola
and other Gulf ports.
Since the government several years
ago began to fight the S0aSe tick the
importation of tick infested cattle
from Mexico and South America has
been prohibited. During the last ses.
sion of Congress a bill was passed
giving Secretary of Agriculture per-
mission to allow the impoF<aticns
under rules and regulations he should
prescribe for the prevention OF the
spread of the disease among the cat
tie of this country.
The departments regulations per
nit the importation of the cattle
through the ports of Pensacola and
Tampa, Florida; Mobile, Alabama,
Galveston, Port Arthur and Texas
City, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana;
and Savannah, Ga.
It is provided in the regulations
that cattle, when imported at these
ports, shall be slaughtered at once
under the supervision of the United
States food inspectors. This, it was
said at the Department of Agricul-
ture today, makes it necessary that
packing and Strengthening house shall
be established right at the port.
The Department of Agriculture has
no inspector station at either Pensa-
cola or Tampa, it is said, but there
would be little difficulty in having
one stationed at those ports should
packing plant be established thers
and importations of cattle from Mex
leo and South America be carried on
upon large scale.
The department said It had no in
formation regarding the establish
ment of plant at Pensacola by one
Of the big western packers, and said
it was not essential it should know
anything about it until the plant was
ready for operation.

Withdrawal Up to Present

AssocIATEp PREss SUMMARY

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
Both official and unofficial dispatch
IS from Italy today reflect tone OF
increasing confidence although the
situation is still admittedly grave.
General Cadorna' withdrawal from
the Tagliamento line and from the
mountainous districts in Northern
Nenetia is proceeding in an orderly
way Rome asserts. Dispatches from
the field seems to bear this out. The
Germans claim the capture of num-
bers of prisoners, but does not men
ton any guns taken or indicate any
slich decentralization in the Italian
ranks as during the withdrawal from
the Isonzo line.
General Cadorna in his report men
tions the present withdrawal as be
ir4g conducted in the direction of tht
Livenza river. This may indicate he
il tends to fight another delaying ac-
ton along this comparatively small
stream, some ten to fifteen miles be
nd the TaglIamento positions before
falling back on the Piave approx
n ately ten miles further west.
Incidentally semi-official state
ment from Rome declares the Austro-
ei.man invasion has failed of its po-
litical object assumedly the breaking
of the Italian viii to resist and the
f. icing of separate peace-while
there is strong conviction that the
serious military problems created BY
the drive will be solved.
On the Flanders front the British
spent the night in consolidating the
Important gains won by them yester-
day which included notably the viii
lage of Passchendaele, crowning the
ridge whence virtually a clear field
stretches away to Roulers, five miles
distant and already commanded by
the British guns. The Germans were
apparently worn out by their furious
but futile efforts yesterday to retain
the town and their remaining hold on
the ridge close by to the North, and
did not renew their coanter attacks
during the night.

WAR DEPT. TO
COMMISSION A
LARGE NUMBER
RESENTMENT AT RESERVE on
FICERS TRAINING CAMPS AND
WITH PEOPLE "BACK HOME"
BROUGHT ABOUT CHANGE.
Washington Bureau.
The Pensacola Journal

Washington, d. c., Nov. THE
resentment has been so great at the
reserve officers training camps and
"back home" among the mems fam
lilies over the announcement made at
all the officers training camps last
Saturday and told in these dispatches
to the effect that about half the
men would be sent home without conf
missions that it has become evident
that the desk mathematicians OF the
War Department have revised their
plans and that more commissions will
be issued than had been contem-
plated.
1t has been pointed out to War
department officials that universal
dissatisfaction would be created and
the buoyant spirit of the people
would be smothered to a degree
should the men go home at Thanks
giving time without commission
and devoid of prospects Of obtaining
one.
The men resentment arises rrom
the fact that in the present group
of camps men of more mature years
were taken than IN the first Camp
men who gave up good businesses.
professions and positions-with the
assurance that if they made good"
they would get commissions. Now
it has been announced that no matter
what their mark of efficiency only
half of them will get commissions te-
cause it has been found that the de-
partment over-estimated the number
of men who would b needed.
Reports from some of the officer y
training camps state thaA there has
been a noticeable depression shown
in the spirit of the men at drills ana
even in the carriage of the men since
they learned the War Departments
plan-to deny commissions to more
than half of them.

CATTLE MAY LATER BE
IMPORTED AT PENSACOLA

While there appears to be no im-
mediate prospect of a packing house
being established at Pensacola, the
fact remains that this place was in
cluded in the list of those ports where
the importation of livestock would be
allowed. Cattle may be imported
from Mexico and South America. and
should such be handled at this point,
it will mean the establishment of a
packing plant here, for all cattle i'm
ported must be slaughtered at the
point of importation, it is said.
Regulations permitting the impor-
tation of livestock was passed Sep
tember 26 last. and became effective
