While the Italians continue to hold

attic to the Feltre region and through
the northern hills westward from
Feltre to Lake Gard, they have again
been compelled to give ground IN
both of the sectors to the Teutons.

Upon being arraigned before Judge
William B. Sheppard for sentence for
violating the Espionage Act, H. C.
Waldo, pleaded for clemency Of the
court, and presented a petition for

who were enemies of his because he
did not join in strike they conduct

SHIP WORKERS
ARE SUPPORTED
BY MACHINISTS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
AERO LODGE, PLEDGE CAR
PENTERS AND CAULKERS
THEIR FULL SUPPORT.

At q meeting Of Aero Lodge No.
1853, International Association of Ma
chinfsts, which took place last night,
the walkout of the carpenters and
ship caulkers was generally discussed,
resulting in the body adopting reso-
luton extending support to the strik-
ing men in the other lines. The
statement was authorized by the COM
mittlee, however, that the machinists
will not, ut least for the present,
walk out in a sympathetic strike,
"In the first place. said one mem
ber of the committee, 'it isn't neces-
sary. But the men should have the
eight-hour day, and that is the stand
by them which we commend in our
resolution"
There were no developments of note
in the strike Of the carpenters and
ship caulkers yesterday, except that
none of the plants which We're de-
serted a few days since by men in
these lines presented any great ac-
tivity during yesterday. It is un-
derstood, however, that a . 0sition
may be presented the men ,,.l the
first of the week, although this state
ment appears to have emanated in
no authorized quarter.
The resolution of the Machinists,
adopted last night, is in the nature
of a statement to the public, and is as
follows:
Statement of Machnssts.7
To the General Public Of Pensacola,
Fla:
Aero lodge No. 758, International
Association of Machinists, in regular
meeting, wish to announce the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That Aero Lodge No.
758, endorse the walkout Of the ship
carpenters and caulkers in the var
ious shipyards of Pensacola, as we
feel that it is in strict accord with
the principles of the A F. Of L., in
that we fight for the eight hour day,
and living wage.
And be it further resolved, That
the fight of the ship carpenters and
caulkers is fight of organized labor
and we will heartily support them.

Y. N. c. A. WAR WORK
FUND DRIVE STARTS

Pensacola made a great getaway
in the tremendous drive for her quota
Of the Y. NJ. C. A. war fund yester-
day, and indications point to q very
successful campaign. Most of the
first day was spent in completing
many of the details of the smaller
organization units, and by the plan
which has been drawn up it Is be-
ieved that the necessary sum will be
subscribed.
The boys division is showing great
spirit in the work, and success in this
direction is almost assured. Many Of
the fellows have enrolled for the
work. as members of the West Flor
ida fellowship, and with the pledges
OF ten dollars each a large sum will
be raised.
To further assist in the campaign,
many business men of the city are
planning to cooperate with the fell
lows by giving them temporary posi-
tlons and an opportunity to earn the
ten dollars if they haven't that sum
to give.

100000 MEN
CLASS |, NEW
DRAFT RULES
BEST ESTIMATES PLACE THIS
NUMBER IN FIRST OF FIVE
GROUPS FOR EARLY DUTY
WITH THE COLORS.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Nov. 14.-Best esti-
mates indicate that class 1, OF the
five classes into which all draft regis
trants are to be divided will contain
more than 100000 men subject to
duty with the colors before any man
in any other class will be called up
It is regarded as practically certain
that congress will take up the ques-
ton of extending the draft law to
cover men who have attained the age
of FL since it was enacted. ShoulC
that be done and provision made for
the registration thereafter Of every
man as he reached that age, it is
probable that perhaps 600 900 would
be added to class 1 automatically by
next March. In that event, no pres
ent plans for the army would reach
the men in class 2.
Officials have already considered the
possibility that congress will decide
to take in these additional young men,
Some fair system by which they may
be registered, classified and assigned
to places will be designed. New reg
ulations to be published shortly prob
ably will set way in which this can
be done.
New regulations governing pass
ports for registered men become ef-
fective November Goth. After that
date, the nearest local board may is
sue passport pernitS without refer
ence to district boards as is now re-
quired.
Passports are not necessary to en-

CLEMENCY SHOWN IN
THE CHANCEY CASE

After the jury that convicted C. C.
Chancey Of violating the Espionage
Act, had reopened the case, recon-
sidered the verdict, scd returned a
verdict Of guilty with a recommends
ton that the court simply reprimand
and dismiss the defendant, Judge
William B. Sheppard severely lee
tured Chancey, fined him five dollars
and dismissed the case.
This action was taken when it ap-
peared that Chancey in having Ser
geant johnson, an army recruiting Of
ficer, arrested had been inspired
simply by desire to obtain action
against Johnson, and not to obstruct
the recruiting of the United States.
