Though he had been accepted as

vile last night, jerks Hinote, of

that he expressed regret that he had

he had been in Pensacola two days
after enlisting, before he could be
sent to Jacksonville, he had ample

No steps have as yet been taken
BY army authorities to find him,

SEABOARD AIR LINE PASSED
ON UNFAVORABLY.

Motion for nav trial in the case
of Cora Lee Holland, as admins
tratrix of the estate of Charles Har-
ris, deceased. VS. The Seaboard Air
line Railway was denied by Judge
Sheppard in the federal court yester-
dav morning.
The case was brought for trial be-
fore Judge Shep ard at the adjourn
ed term in. June, hut a verdict was
directed for the defendant on the
ground that the evidence in the case
did not show that the car which killed
Harris was in interstate commerce.
The suit, which is for $4,000 dam
ages, grew out of an accident which
occurred at Tampa, when Harris, who
was working under a railroad car,
was killed by the car running over
him, when another car struck it on
a siding.

GERMANS GIVE
UP ATTEMPTS
GUST FRENCH
Failed Disastrously in Re-
cent Effort to Dislodge
Allies Fro IMPOSITION.
GERMANS HAVE
SHIFTED POSITION
Artillery Fighting Proceed
ing Vigorously Along the
Champagne Sectors.
AssoeIated Prsss summary

Having failed disastrously in their
recent effort to drive the French
from their commanding positions on
the DheTnin des Danes, on the Aisne
front, the Germans are now turning
their attention to the Champagne,
apparently with a similar purpose.
Attacks were made by the crown
princes troops last night on the
French lines west of Mont Carnillet
fg7d southeast of Tahure. The drives
evidently were not of such intensity
as was that earlier in the week along
the Aisne and the Paris official re-
port says they were easily repulsed.
The artillery fighting is proceed
ing vigorously in these and othes
sectors of the Champagne. In the
Verdun region also French guns are
active. With the evident effort of
making the German trenches west
and north of Hill BOA untenable, Cen
eral Petain's artillery is pouring a
destructive fire upon them. Appar-
emily the crown prince has none too
secure hold on such ground here as
his troops were able to seize in their
sudden rush a few days ago.
London is reticent as to what is
going on along the British front in
France where there have been indi-
cations that some important move
anent was in prospect. The only ac-
tiyity reported was a nocturnal raid
on British posts near Bulleceurt,
which was repulsed.
In Macedonia there is some revival
of activity, but seemingly not on a
large scale. Enemy troops probably
Bulgarians, launched an assault on
the ridge west of Doljeli, southwest
of Lake Dorian, but were compelled
by British counter attack to relin-
quish the footing they obtained.

VETS WIN IN
The TEST VOTE
MATTER OF AMENDMENT PRO-
HIBITING DISTILLED BEVER-
AGES AND MANUFACTURE.
SHOWED RELATIVE STRENGTH
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 6.-ln the first
real test on strength of vets and
drys, Senate vote of fifty-two to
thirty-four rejected an amendment TO
the proposal for prohibiting of dis
titled beverages. which would alsU
prohibit the manufacture of malt
beverages. On reconsideration II
was voted to retain the amendment
prohibiting imports of distilled bev-
erages and also prohibiting the with
drawal of distilled spirits in bond for
beverage uses.
Congress recessed without dispos-
ing of the prohibition question.
Defeat of the bone dry proposal
ensures that legislation prohibiting
the manufacture of intoxicants will
be limited to distilled beverages.
Whether the consumption as we'll as
the manufacture of distilled spirits
shall cease during the war is a new
element injected at the eleventh hour,
and completely disrupted the leaders
plans, and caused the recess for a
conference on compromise
The prohibition forces are elated
over the possibility of stopping the
consumption as we'll as the msnufac-
ture of whiskey and other hard bev-
erages.
Tomorrow the fight will center in
an effort to eliminate the amend
ment prohibiting the importation and
withdrawal of distilled liquors in
bond. The compromise amendment
pending, which will authorize the
president to permit the withdrawal
of distilled spirits from warehouses,
if he believes IT TO the public in
terest. Upon disposition of the pro-
hibition section, leaders expect to
seek an agreement for a final vote
on the food bill Wednesday or Thurs
day.

POSTAL BUSINESS
SLIGHTLY DECREASED

Figures which have just been COM
piled by the local postal authorities
showing the receipts for the month
of June, reveal that the total bust
ness for the month amounted to
sc, 622.88, emitting the money order
business. This is about $500 less
than the business for May, and the
decline is credited to the stopping Of
the mail order liquor business, and
the mail advertising campaigns
which had been conducted by local
wholesale houses, but which were
prohibited during the latter half of
May.
As compared with June of last year
the amount is 5000 short, while both
April and May of 1917 topped the
$1,000 mark July. however, started
off with a jump, and it is expected
that despite the loss Of the mail order
business, the total will be we'll above
June.
