conservation pledge card campaign,

throughout the United States. A
whirlwind finish is expected in PEN
sacola and Escambia county, and whel.
all returns are in, it is believed that
this county viii be we'll among the
leaders.
Owing to the large number of pre-
cints in tnhis county. and the fact
that many of them are scattered. it
was impossible to arrange daily re-
ports, and the totals so far are not
large. When all returns are in. how
ever, and the complete lists are avail
able, 1T is expected that Escambia
county will take front rank.
All of the precinnct captains have
been working steadily since the open
ing of the campaig on Monday. but
have not reported on the progress yer.

PLAN A RAPID
DISTRIBUTION
LOCAL MAILS

In an effort to facilitate delivery
of mail arriving on afternoon trains
to the boxes in the postoffice, POST
master Hancock is working out plan
by which the outgoing mail will be
placed with the local office early in
the afternoon, SO that when the later
trains arrive, the sorting will be the
only work to be done.
In doing this, Mr.. Hancock calls for
the cooperation of the business firms
and individuals who send out large
amount of mail each afternoon. As a
usual thing, Mr.. Hancock states that
this mail is delivered to the postoffice
at nearly 6 o'clock, just at the time
when the incoming mail is brought
from the train. Mail going east is
collected at thu time, and with the
three operations of preparing local
mail for shipment, closing the east
bound mail, and sortingIthe incoming
mail, Mr.. Hancock states that the Of
flee is fairly swamped for severar
hours, and delay in distribution re-
suits.
Under the proposed plan, a col
lector Of mail would be employed by
the postoffice. whose dnty it would
be to call at certain Offices each aft
ernoon about 4:30 O'Clock, and collect
all mail ready at that time. At that
time of day the office force in the
postoffice is comparatively idle, and
the outgoing eastbour.k mail can be
prepared for shipmenwt before the
afternoon mail arrives for distripu-
ton.
All business men VIII wish to c.
operate with the postmaster are re-
quested to confer with. him, and ar
range the details,

Cadorna's Artillery in Duel
With Heavy Guns of
the Germans.
GREAT BATTLE IN
NEXT FEW DAYS
Retreat of Germans on the
Aisne Front Result of
II too Much Shelling.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
The battle of the Tagliamento has
begun by the artillery.
AGuns of the Austro-German invad-
ers of Northern Italy have opened
fire from the Easterly side of the
river upon General Cadorna's posi-
lions on the westerly bank of the
stream, to which the Italian armies
have effected a retreat during the ten
days that have elapsed since their
Isonzo front was broken.
Cadorna's artillery is replying,
Rome announces today, and the strug.
gle for the river line is on.
Apparently the Teutonic attempt
TO force q crossing of the stream ="
not to be long delayed. The ItaliaE
statement announces the advance OF
Austro- German patrols from the main
enemy positions to the river bank.
They were met there by Italian ma
chine gun fire and repulsed.
Uncertainty exists, however, as u
whether the Italian high command
has planned definite. stand on the

imately twenty-five miles from the
Tagliamento. The next day or two
seems likely to resolve this doubt.
Retreat of Germans on the Aisne
front seems to have been caused on
account of firing of the terrible or
deal they had been forced to undergo
for some time from the French artii-
iery and violent infantry attacks. 1t
is believed they have decided to fall
back to Laon, the capital, which has
been the quest of the French. 1t is
probable the retreat will compel the
.etirement of forces in this region
iorthward 20 st. Quentin, and pos
sible as far as Arras.
Italians are competing with Tsu-
tons along the Tagliar1ento river.
Teutons are on the east bank and
Italians on the west. Apparently the
Italians are holding the lines securely
from the Carnic Alps to the head of
The Adriatic Sea.
Sentiment in Italy is seething with
patriotic fevor.
The British made minor gains
near Passchaemdaele and Poelcapelle
East of Ypres the Germans are vio-
lently shelling the British line.
