HANCOCK BACK,
TALKS Of WAR
PREPARATION

Postmaster Ben S. Hancock return
ed yesterday morning from Washing
ton, where he has been attending the
Confederate reunion, and yesterday
resumed his duties in the postoffce
building. Mr.. Hancock was enthusi-
astic oyE&' the great demonstration.
which he said rivalled even the larg-
est inaugurals. In the great parade,
a float representing a reunited people
brought forth huge demonstrations
on the part of the spectators, and
aroused great enthusiasm and pa
triotism.
The capital in wartime is a very
different place than at peace, said the
postmaster, and hundreds are there
in attempts to land some offcership
in the army or navy. But that which
made the greatest impression was the
brilliant campaign for the sale of lib
erty bonds. On the buildings, in the
theatres, newspapers, every conceiv-
able means of publicity was taken ad-
vantage of to increase the sales.
"And flags everywhere" said Mr..
Hancock, mostly the American flag
with our Allies banners surrounding
it, but it may cause only Great Brit
ain and France and seen with the
Old Glory. There were lots Of Con-
federate flags too, waving from
automobiles and public buildings.
Mr.. Hancock said that there were a
number of PensaColians in Washing
ton, and that the Pensacola car in
the parade made an excellent I'M
preston. He stated that he met DR..
Kennedy, who left for New York on
his way to France.

Road Along the
Coast. Is NO1U Planned

In an effort to construct a Gulf
Military Highway which will conform
almost entirely to the Old Spanish
Trail where it runs along the coast,
a meeting will be held in Mobile on
June %, to which Pensacola will
probably send a delegate. The fol-
lowing bulletin sent out by the asso-
citation is self explanatory:
Weekly Bulletin of the Old Spanish
Trail Association.
Mobile, Ala, June 14.-There is
to be held at Mobile June 23rd to
25th, a convention on the project of
a Coastal Military Highway, which,
while gotten up by interests entire
lY dis-associated with the Old Span
ish Trail, is likely to result to ben
eft to the Old Spanish E'rail, mas
much as part of both will be the
same. 1t is especially of vital import
ance to every community along the
coast line of. the United States and
the Mexican border as well.
The limited time has not been suf-
ficient to extend personal invita-
tlons to all who are interested, but
a general invitation is being extend
ed to every person interested in the
establishment of good roads, espec-
tally along the coast and bcxder.
AS the establishment of a perma-
nent military highway connecting
the fortified coast and border defen-
ses, would affect most favorably the
Importance that the conference TO ne

fense along the line of the Disc. The
river when it passes northward of
the devastated town Of Chauny now
in the hands of the French takes a
sinuous~course through marshy low
lying lands, and the Germans after
their forced retreat endeavored by
dammiEg at rlous places to place
a wide stretch of water between
themselves and the pursuing French
troops Extending north from the for
est of st. Gobain almost to st. Quen-
tain they succeeded for a time IN
covering the intervening Country
with water, but the nature Of the
soil and the dry weather of the
spring disappointed their hopes Of
creating a permanent moat in front
of their new positions and a tour of
the French front lines in This vicin-
ity today showed that scarcely a
trace of the foundations remained.
Far away to the north and east
spread Undulating lands offering lit
tie opportunity for the construction
of defensive positions but to the
south and east were the great for
est-covered ridges of st. Gobain and
the upper forest of Couchy behind
which lies Laon. It was impossible
even in the clearest light to pene-
trate the mysteries of these deep
woods where the Germans enjoyed
splendid cover.
The roar of thousands of cannon
coming from farther south and east
told of the tense struggle in pro-
gress for the possession of the
Chemin des Danes which the French
have held firmly ever since it fell
into their hands since April. The Ger
man commander in chief evidently set
great value on this position for he
has sacrificed thousands OF men
from his best formations in order to
regain possession of it and al in
vain.
American and French aviators
constantly fly over the German po-
sitions to observe the movements Of
the troops occupying them but their
task is rendered extremely difficult
owing to the thick woods. They, how
ever, have been able to distinguish
far behind the German front lines
certain indications that a series or
intermediate works has in some places
been begun and in others completed
IN view Orobably of a further rWSire-
ment by the German army to another
line.
This retirement when it takes
place, will not be a voluntary one. but
Will be the result of pressure by the
French army.

Old Spanish Trail convention in Talla-
hassee in May endorsed the Old
Spanish Trail as one of the most i'm
portant links.
Every member of the Old Spanish
Trail Association is invited to attend
this conference which has been called
by the Mobile Chamber of Commerce,
and all who will attend should not
ify that organization as soon as pos
sible-
Those who attend will certainly en-
JOY both a pleasant and profitable
meeting. The speakers already an

American Automobile Association.
Washington, D. c.
Mr.. A. Aschaffenburg. founder of

been arranged so as to permit the
delegates to the International Rotary
Convention, in Atlanta, uud the Good
Roads Convention, at Mineral Wells,
Texas, to attend AS the conference
lasts over Sunday, the delegates will
have the opportunity to enjoy the
hume pleasures afforded by Mo-
bile Bay, and the good voads leading
to various coast resorts.
1t is hoped that a large number
of Old Spanish Trail members will
be present, notifying the secretary of
the Mobile Chamber of Commerce in
advance.
