Because he read in a newspaper
that recruiting was slowing up, Jack
R. Downer, a resident of Alabama,
near the Florida line, appeared at the
army recruiting station yesterday and
asked to be enlisted. His application
was filed. examination made and he
Immediately went into training. The
other enlistment yesterday was Dan
iel White, both men choosing the field
artillery for their duty.
While the enlistments yesterday
were two more than Friday or Satur-
day, nothing like the necessary per
centage is shown. Lieutenant Clement,
in charge of this division of recruit
ing was in the city Sunday, and urges
greater effort, more general work and
greater publicity, the three reasons,
in addition to innate patriotism,
which caused the success of the lib
erty loan.
More posters have arrived and have
been placed in conspicuous points
about the city. The officer in charge
of the station is always on the Job
and will gladly furnish information to
anyone interested.

COUNTY FAIR
CALLED OFF
UNCERTAINTY OF SECURING
ADJUSTMENTS BECAUSE OF
CAR SHORTAGE, GIVEN AS THE
REASON.

No fair will be held II Escambia
next fan, as has been the custom for
a number of years, owing to the IN
certainty of securing amusement at
fractions. The decision was made at
a special meeting of the Executive
Board Monday morning after an
amusement company refused to con-
slider a contract at the present time.
1t is announced that the federal au-
thorities have prohibited the contract
ing for transportating shows of any
kind by the railroads, in view of the
necessity of quickly moving neces-
sites. AS the companies cannot Sc
cure guarantee of transportation
from the railroads they cannot ar
range their itineraries.
As the experience last fall in at
tempting to operate a fair without
the amusement features demonstrate
ed its lack of interest, it was thought
best to avoid a repetition by calling
off the entire fair.

Russian Navy so Active
That GernSny Is Forced
to Raid Bases.
BATTLE SHIFTS
TO MACEDONIA
Aggressive Move Possible
for Allies Now That Dan
ger From Greece Over.
Associated Press Summary.

Developments Of some Importance
apparently are impending on the Ma
CedOnien front following the recent
Qualification of the military situation
in Greece CoinCidcnt with the abdi-
cation of King Constantine.
The most pronounced movement is
q withdrawal by the British without
pressure of their advanced positions
established some distance east of the
Struma river, on the extreme esaterly
end of the front. Several towns have
been evacuated by them, and occupied
by the Bulgarians.
Simultaneously comes news Of pro-
nounCed accommodating activity by
the entente forces in other parts Of
the front notably along the Vardar in
the central sector.
1t has been frequently pointed out
by military observers thaS virtually
the only practicable route for a sue
cessful advance to cut the lines of
the central powers in the Balkans and
reclaim Serbia, is up the Vardar val
lew, along the railway line there.
The present activities while they
have not developed far enough to
make the thing a certainty, none the
less point to the probability that an
offensive by General Serial in the
only likely sector-that embracing
the Vardar areas imminent.
Had this been decided upon, it
would be q natural move for the Brit
ish TO relinquish the ADVANCED ground
they held along the Struma and with
draw, as they have done, to the bridge
head near the river, thereby streng-
theninG~the entente right flank foz
defensive purposes while the often
Sive stroke was delivered by tn cen
ter. An aggressive move, it would
seem has now been made possible by
the removal of the menace to the al
lies from the rear, which existed as
long as Constantine was on the Greek
throne, and his pro-German political
advisers in control of the Greek mill
tary situation.
Both the Russian army and the
Russian navy are giving more evi-
dence of aggressive intent. Recent
German and Austrian statements
have instanced increasing activities
by the Russian military forces IT
various sectors notably Volhynia anC
Galicia, where the great Brussiloft
offensive was in full swing at this
time a year ago.
The Russian naval arm also has
been so largely in evidence in Baltic
waters that Berlin announces it has
been found ecessary to carry out ex
tensive air raiding operations on Rus.
sian bases in this area.
In the Arras battle area the British
were subjected to a heavy counter
attack this morning on the new posi-
ton they won last Thursday east Of
Monchy lie Preux. They held fas
to the main point, the important in
fantry hill, but had to fall back from
some positions they had established
farther in advance.

CUSACHS AND LEON JOHNSON
BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIP
WITH LANGLEY BELL AND

Operation of the consanguinity OF

Der the fire department, on the sub
Stitute list. To get around the kinship
clause, which prohibits the employ
ment of any city employee who is
drawing a salary of 800 or upwards
monthly, it was decided to fix the sal
airy of the building inspector at S98
per month, and allow Mr.. Johnson S27
per month for "upkeep of his auto
mobile" however, Commissioner San
ders, in a letter to Fire Chief Bicker,
called attention to the law and said
that young Johnson could no longer

At the close of yesterdays meeting
Police and Fire Commissioner San
ders, when NJ. Langley Bells bond
was submitted for approval, an
nounced that, by operation of section
% of the city charter, Officer Thos.
CusaChs was removed from the police
department. He also announced that
the same law applied to young John

deprived of his position in the fire

The section under which both of
these city employees were removed au-
tomatically, is as follows:

and navy stations will show. Instead
of the lead which Pensacola estab-
Gshed early in the crisis, the city and
the surrounding territory has begun
to lag,
Beginning today the army cant
paign for recruits will be renewed
with more vigor and an attempt made
to bring Pensacola's and West Flor
ida's average to its proper place. The
navy, too, is pushing it's campaign.
Many places are open for specially
trained men.
An example of this is the announce
ment that telegraph operators will be
received for radio duty. Successful
applicants for such positions are sent
into training at Harvard University,
though a branch will doubtless be es-
tablished in this district either at
New Orleans or Pensacola. Men with
former training in radio service are
eligible for chief electricians, radio,
while others are classified and group
ed according to their knowledge and
experience.
A particular appeal is made to
those who are registered and liable
for duty. When the call comes, they
must go, to fill positions wherever
they are assigned. There will be no
choice, no qualification of personal
preference, but simply putting so
many men to fill so many positions.
Until the call comes, those who have
registered have an opportunity to Sc
lect the branch of service in which
they prefer to work. The only re
ouirement is that they must show
their registration checks so that due
record can be made that they are in
service.

EXCUSED UNTIL CROPS
ARE GATHERED SAYS JUDGE
TO FARMER, ACCUSED

When it was discovered that a
number of farmers from West
Florida were held by the federal
authorities on the charge of IL
licit distiIling, Judge William B.
Sheppard yesterday stated that
he believed it would be the pol
icy of the government to release
the men on bond, so as 10 permit
them to harvest their crops and
thus help in supplying the nation
with food. 1t was finally decided
that this would be done and a
large number of defendants were
released to appear at the fall
term to answer the charges.
The policy of the officials will
probably mean much to West
Florida in the conservation of the
food supply, as with the incar-
CeratiOn of a number of farmers
much harm may have resulted.
As it is, the farmers, those de-
PENDANTS who are actively engag-
ed in agriculture, will be permit
ted to return to their farms, make
and harvest the crop and appear
at the next term, without frus-
trating the ends of justice.
