Petain Is Harrying Ger
mans and Preparing for
Mighty Offensive.
RUSSIA BECOMES
DAILY STRONGER
Allies Bent on Convoking
the Venizelist Parlia-
ment of Greece.
Associated Press summary

While General Haig is closing in
so closely upon Lens that the capture
by the British of that coal mining
city and its adjacent fields seems i'm
minent, it is a question whether the
British operation will be accompanied
by an offensive move by the French
on like scale.
Although there has been more or
less constant jOckeying for position
by the two commanders along TIE
Aisne and Champagne fronts, partic-
ularly the former, the German activi-
ties appear more like efforts to choke
off any possible extended movement
by the French than anything else.
On the other hand, General Pc
tain's occasional strokes give the i'm
preston that all he is trying to do is
to preserve his vantage points as the
basis for resuming the French ad-
vance at some future time when that
effort seems advisable.
Cumulative evidence that all Rus
sian opinion of influential character
is now definitely set against any idea
of a separate peace continues to come
from Petrograd. The powerful Pan
Russian congress of soldiers and
workmtn's councils is emphatic or
this point in a resolution just adoI ed
by an overwhelming majority.
The program of the entente IN
Greece continues to develop. 1T is evi-
dent that it is their purpose to cause
the convocation of the parliament of
May 81, 1915, which was controlled
by the Venizelists, having a majority
favorable to the entente cause. II
was the dissolution of this parliament
by Constantine that had been de-
nounced as unconstitutional by the
allies, the act being one of the chief
counts of the indictment of Constan-
tine as a betrayer of his people into
a desertion of their natural allies.

POLICE DEPT.
AK FALLS ON FIVE AT ONE
TIME; RUMORED THAT FUR
HER RESERVATIONS WILL BE
ASKED.

Five members of the Pensacola po-
lice force were requested yesterday
to tender their designations. Those
affected are Officers Clark, Milford,
Nell, Kelly and Sacaro. 1t is under
stood that they will be allowed to
finish out the present month.
Considerable stir was caused in the
department when it was generally cir
culated that the "retrenchers" were
at work, as one referred to it. In
well-informed circles it is expected
that even greater changes are con-
templated.
1t is understood that some of those
who received notice will refuse to re-
sign and will go before the commits
siOners.
Should designations not be sent in,
it is stated, the men will be re-
moved.

ONLY THOSE THAT GIVE VALUE
FOR MONEY WILL BE Toll
GRATED. SAYS sHERIFF-ONE
Is SEIZED.

Sheriff Van PeIt is now going
after the slot machines. He has seiz-
ed one and brought a charge against
Manuel Gugenheim, the alleged op>
orator. The case is attracting much
attention.
The slot machine is against the
law, if it does not give value for the
money. 1t appears that the machine
which the sheriff has taken into Gus
tody is one which sells chances for
a nickle each. A number is issued
with a name printed by the machine
on said number, and the announce
ment is made that a certain number
and name gets all the cash in the
box.
The sheriff stated he will confiscate
all such machines.

Lynn Haven, June PA lynchi1g
was averted Sunday night in South
port by the breaking of tie rope,
when Leeman Williams was harged
by the neck from one of the joists
in Ed. Mashburn's boat shop.
It appears that Williams was ac-
cused Of taking a watch, which he
stoutly denied The mob strung him
up, however, after he had been sus-
pended for awhile, the rope gave way
and he promised that if they went
with him, he would get the watch.
He carried them across to the home
of Alex Register. but instead of pro
curing the watch he informed of what
had transpired and was given refuge,
while the mob dispersed.
Strike a. Millville.
News reached this place today of
a workman's strike that took place
at the German-American Lumber
Company's mill at Millville, last Sat
urday, but it is said that the trouble
was amicably settled and that the

WHO STARTED RUMOR OF
VAN PELT'S REMOVAL?

Now that executive sharp-shooting
at sheriffs is the order of the day,
the rumor expert, who brought the
Atlantic feet to Pensacola and staged
any number of naval battles off
Santa Rosa Sound, has turned his
attention to local politics, as witness
the wild tales flying about the streets
yesterday to the effect that Governor
Cats had slipped Sheriff Van Pelt a
pink ticket.
No one seemed to know where the
1umor started, or the reason for the
reported act. and few took it seri-
ouslv-Sheriff Van Pelt least of all.
Somebody trying to get q joke on
me, I guess" he said. Telephone
almost wore my ear off asking about

Illicit Liquor Sale Must Stop
Says Judge, and Doubles Fine

Even the penalty for selling liquor
without license is going up, as was
evidenced yesterday when a negro
named lack Odom appeared and
pleaded guilty to such a charge in the
court of record. Judge Jones an
nounced that such traffic would have
to end and it would stop if he had
the disposition of cases in this re-
gard. He imposed a fine of 500 and
costsfor four months, this being about
twice the usual penalty formerly ap>
piled IN such cases.
OGom was said to have been COP
Grating" in and around Moline, and
quite a quantity of liquor was taken
from him when he was arrested.

Washington, June 27--The epochal
landing of American troops in France
cannot be fully discussed at this time
for obvious reasons concerning the
safety of other contingents.
1t is entirely permissible to say
that they are part of the force which
will be under command of Major Cen
eral John J. Pershing and whose ar
rival the general and his staff have
been arranging ever since they land
ed on the other side. The American
troops will be an entirely independent
command, just as are the British
troops, working of course with the
French at the heads of operations as
they are on French soil.
When the troops have had their
period of preparation behind the
lines they will take place on the bat
tie front, to be arranged by General
Pershing in consultation with the
other military chiefs there, and prob
ably will very soon be carrying the
Stars and Stripes in the assaults
which steadily are driving the Ger
mans out of France and Belgium.
All the troops under General Perish
ing's command are regulars and COM
prise the division which President
Wilson directed to proceed to France,
"at the earliest possible time" In
formation of what other troop move
ments, may be made is surrounded
by censorship to insure, so far as
possible, a safe voyage through the
submarine zone.
1t is not permissible to say what
precautions were taken to get the
American troop ships past the wait
in German submarines, but there is
no doubt that the precautions were
as carefully worked out as they were
effective, because it is generally be-
lieved that some time ago most of
the German submarine fleet was with
drawn from its attacks on allied ship
ping to make, ready to ambush the
American troop ships in force.
Successful landing, while a source
of qualification TO officials here, view
ed from the point of being a military
operation, is regarded with added
significance for its moral effect in
Germany, if it is permitted to become
known there.
The reference in the cable dis
patches to a duplication of "yester-
days surprise" intimating that there
was also a landing yesterday, passes
without comment here, but obviously
discloses a landing of a contingent

was speedily be1agged in honor of
the occasion.
All the troops now arrived were
transferred today to a camp not dis
tant from this point, where Major
William L. Sibert is installed. Thence
they probably will go soon to a point
near the front. All the troops are
in excellent shape, enthusiastic over
the successful trip and their recep-
tion and eager for action.
Major General Pershing, the Amer
