Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The eX- tent and variety of tasks confronting American army engineers in making the eXpeditionary force in France a single organic unit, independent of French and British aid were empha-
 sized by the offices of the chief of army engineers in a statement tonight.
 Not only must miles of railroads, with their narrow gauge spurs, be built and bridges. roads, wharves and piers constructed and repaired continually, but lumber for 2 score of purposes must be cut from the forests of France by a regiment of trained foresters, great underground power houses must
 be established to supply current to the dugouts, scores of wells must be drilled, miles of water pipes laid through American camp cities somewhere in France.
 Sign painters and artists will have to be taught the craft of camor,lage to conceal military operations from the enemy, expert miners will direct vast underground borrowing, battle maps of enemy territory must be made and a multitude, of hospitals. refrigerating plants and machine shops are to be constructed.
 The value of railroad materials and rolling stock alone. now being pur- chased. says the statement. is about five times that of all purchases made annually in this country for the Pan- anna canal during the last four or five years.
 Tt is the duty of the corps of engin- eers to furnish an adequate water sup ply for the large bodies of men sudden ly placed in localities where the entire a tpr is,a all small civilian population.
 'The engineers corps will carry it's own rolling stock to the theater of war That in itself will be a gigantic oper- ation.
 Special mining companies will be formed for the purpose of carrying on the intricate operations involved in modern trench warfare. For this work expert miners will he chosen.

VULNERABLE POINT
 IF GERMAN FRONT
 OBJECT OF ATTACK
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Brit ish- French assault on the German right flank has made a profound i'm pression here because, in the judg- ment of many American army officers, it is directed at the most vulnerable point on the entire German front.
 Complete success for the allies, sweeping the German line back from the sea along the entire Belgian coast would be an immediate answer to the U-boat warfare. The main North Sea bases for U-boat operations would be stamped out Behind that achieve ment then would stand the possibil- ity that the entire German line in France could be endangered by flank attack.
 Reports from London or the front were still too meagre tonight to dls- close the full scope of the new opera tions Some observers here were in- clined to believe, however, that un- less the drive is supplemented by naval CO operation, with a landing behind the present German front, complete success is not to be expected. The discussion here brought out strongly the fact that many American 
 believe the German right flank offers the only real opportunity to bring the struggle to a decisive issue in a single 1 campaign.
 | Short of that they can forsee only a continuation of the deadly frontal I attacks which in time would wear | down the German resistance since the l allied powers have the greater re- sources in men and supplies. It is pointed out, however, that if U-boat activity is not sharply checked, time
 will work strongly against the allies
 In renewed German assaults upon | the Verdun front, observers have ready
 an attempt to prevent an allied con-
 centration upon the right flank. IT diplomatic quarters, however, the Yer
 dun attacks are coupled also with the German advance in Galicia to furnish
 the stage setting for renewal of peace 1 (Continued on Page Twol

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The first step toward financing the second ln- stallment of the liberty loan was taken bv the treasury today with the offer ing of s300, ,O00, 900 in treasury certifi- cates of indebtedness It is the largest block of such securities yet offered and the interest rate, three and one half per cent, is One-fourth or one offerings.
 Subscriptions are to close August ' and the certificates are payable November 15 next, indicating that the second installment of the Liberty loan will have been floated in the first half of November. Although the treasury has. remained silent on that subject, the general impression is that the loan will be offered in September and that it will be for total of $3,O00,- 000,00
 The certificates are expected to play an important part in the financing of the second installment of the loan as they did in the case of the first installment.
 When the first Liberty bonds were offered sS6S, ,OO0,OO0 in certificates were outstanding and when the first year closed on June 30 total of $626,0OO,- 900, 900 of this amount had been re- deemed through the method of accept ing the certificates at par value in exchange for bonds. This method had been preferred by treasury officials because it puts a large part of cash involved in bond payments actually into the treasury long before hand and minimizes the strain on the money

 The corporation, during the first six months of the current year ex- pended $43.00O,000 for new construc- ion and additions to it's many subsi- liaries.

 Meanwhile Fitzgibbons was called before the county defense counsil and asked to send a telegram to John Moran, district president of the United Mine Workers of America, recommend ing that the strike of members of that body here be called off. After consult ing an attorney, Fitzgibbons declined to sign such a telegram.

He intimated severa times, however. that he had a wei 1efined course of action in his mind which he would put into effect a! oon as he was free to do so.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 31.-A majority of the members of the Texas legislature were on hand tonight in answer to the call of Governor Ferguson for a special session of the legislature for August 1, for the purpose of making appropria- tions for the maintenance of the Uni versity of Texas. An appropriation made by the last session of the legis- lature for the support of the university was vetoed by the governor as gross ly excessive and extravagant,"
 Interest in the appropriation bill is secondary, however, in view of the an nouncement of certain legislativ lead CTS to ask the house to consider the presentation of impeachment charges against the governor.
 The complicated political situation growing out )of the indictments of Governor Ferguson and other state officials was added to today by the arrest of State Labor Commissioner C. w. Woodman on an indictment charging perjury

LOYALTY OF THE GREEKS.

All honor to the Greeks of Pensacola,
who, meeting in solemn conclave Sunday,
did express their individual and collective
loyalty to the United States, and pledge
their every resource to its defense!
1--WE have cast Our lot with America
and adopted these United States as our
country and our home" says the declar-
alton of allegiance.
HomeIthat's the whole question after
all What matters the purely forfuitous
circumstance of birth? 1t is the country
of the fireside that counts.
But our Greeks did not wait for declar-
alton of loyalty to act it. Of the Red Cross
they have been among the most willing
and liberal contributors-their object, ap-
parently, being to do more than their
share
Noble race of noble country! Greece
has given the world so many models in art
and literature and civilization that it is not
surprising her scions should furnish the
sons of men with the pattern of personal
patriotism. Think for yourself! Fight for
your fireside!
All foreign countries would do we'll to
follow the example.
