There is no indication when the

French offensive will be resumed Dut
a day of sunshine is needed to dissi-
pate the quagmire. The German
counter offense northeast of Ypres
has gone to naught. The British fir,
raking the advancing forces, was mer-
ciless. Although Teutons are ad-
vancing against the Russians in Ga

nerves of the German emperor. 1t IS

Nothing came through to indicate 4
trend of the discussion or decisions of

Plans for Operation Ameri

Being Worked Out.
CHARTERS WILL
BE REQUISITIONED
Move Will Give England
and America Control Of
the Worlds Shipping.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Aug. 2.-Plans for
taking over for operation all Ameri-
can OCean-gOing merchant ships will
be announced BY the shipping board.
Charters will be requisitioned under
a recent act of congress authorizing
to commander tonnage for govern
ment uses.
The program is preliminary to put
ting into operation an agreement be-
tween the American and British gov
ernments for joint control of the
worlds shipping. 1t will give the
shipping board control of ocean rates
charged by American ships and a rate
basis being worked out will be used
for building an international rate
schedule.
The chief aid in commandeerinc
charters is to get more ships into the
transatlantic service. Many Ameri-
can COastwise vessels and ships e.
gagged in the Pacific and South Amer
lean trade would be diverted to trans
Atlantic runs. Their places will be
taken to a large extent by neutral and
Japanese tonnage.
The plan is to commander charters
and wherever advisable let the ship it.
self be operated by its owner under a
| government charter. She government
will direct operations and specify ser
vices in which ships shall ply and
wherever operations fail to carry out
the shipping boards regulations char
/ ters will be taken from them and
! given to others.

OTHER OFFICERS
ARE ALSO ELECTED
Name of Young Cats Placed
in Nomination, But Did
Not Get a Vote.
Tallahassee Bureau,
Pensacola Journal


Tallahassee, Aug. 2-Last night i'll
stead Of going to drill, the boys of
Company B." Florida national guard,
went to Quincy and arranged to meet
the men of the company who live in
Quincy at the Oclocknee bridge at
noon today for the purpose of elect
ing a captain and other officers Then
they spent the remainder of the night
looking up those members who reside
in the rural districts to tell them to
be at the secret meeting today.
\. /. Watson, of Quincy, was en-
plOyed as attorney for the men Of
Company %" The news Of the plan
ned secret meeting having reached
the governors ears, the boys feared
officers might be sent to order them
to disperse, so they cOngregated at a
residence on another country road in
this county and elected J. Douglas
Hopkins, of Tallahassee, as captain;
H. w Wright, of Quincy, first lieu
tenant, and H. Clay Crawford, Jr,
of Tallahassee, second lieutenant.
Young Crawford held this position
up to a week ago, when he resigned
as a result of the rebellion in the
compary against the appointment of
Sidney J. Cats, Jr., as captain.
Election Was Regular.
Forty-six members of the company
were present and enough written
proxies were on hand to make the
election regular, it is said. In order
that it might be determined whether
or not young Cats was desired to
head the company and to make the
election appear all the more regular
young Crawford, at the meeting OF
the company on the roadside, nomi-
mated Sidney J. Cats, Jr., for captain
When the vote was taken, the election
of Hopkins was unanimous.
/ The result was certified to the gov.
/ ernor and to the adjutant general anC
/ a copy sent to Congressman Frank
! Clark, at Washington, who had advis
ed the boys to pursue this course
/ sending them word that if they founC
themselves in trouble as a result OF
their action. he would not "try to ge
/ them out of it, but that he would get
them out of it."
The election today was held undel
the act of the last legislature, chap
ter 1898, No. 35, which provides tina
e&ch company shall elect its officers
Adjutant General Christian wirGi

The question now is whether youni

HOUSE DECIDES TO
HOLD UP PROHIBITION
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 2.-NatlonaI pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
was hung up in the house today by
the prohibition leaders themselves.
The resolution to submit the pro-

National Guard of All States
Be Mustered Into the
American Army.
TROOPS HAVE
BEEN FEDERALIZED
Only Few Western and
Southwestern States Re
main to Be Mustered.
Washington Bureau.
Pensacola Journal.


Washington, D. c., Aug. 2-The
National Guard of all the states will
cease to exist as such after next
Sunday, when the last of the militia
men will be mustered into the Amer
lean army. Already the militia or
ganizatiOns of the most of the states
have been federalized, leaving the
forces of only a few of the western
and southwestern states to be mus
tired in on Aug. 5. Thereafter there
will be no constitutional or other
legal barrier to the transportation Of
the former guards organizations to
France.
So far as is known no steps will be
taken in the different states to form
new National Guard regiments to
take the place of those that have en-
tered the national service. In some
of the states aTrangemnts are being
discussed to form reserve bat-aiOns
which will be stationed at regimental
headquarters to care for the military
property of the state, to fill gaps in
the ranks of the drafted units and
TO perform such other military ser
vice as may be required.
