TO BE PASSED TODAY

At a special meeting of the board
of city commissioners. which took
place yesterday, the ordinance grant
ing the c. F. & Railway Company

no opposition to the passage as now
framed, which is offered as a substi-
tute for the original franchise asked.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 19-The COM
promise food bill drafted in the BIZ
partisan conference of leaders has
been adopted by the senate by a vote
of sixty to sixteen as a substitute
for the administration measure.
1t provides that feeds, foods and
fuels, including kerosene and gaso-
line only, shall be placed under gov
eminent control. A Nard of three
salaried members will administer the
act.
Party lines were not observed in
the vote which, while tentative, was

extension of government control,
Senator Kenyon's amendment was
proposed as an addition to that of
Senator Chamberlain. drafted by
Democratic and Republican leaders,
providing for control only of foods,
feeds and fuels, including kerosene
and gasoline.
Implied endorsement was given
Rerbert C,-hoover today by the SEN
asS when by viva voce vote it re-
Jected an amendment by Senator
Reed of Missouri to have the food

CHANGED AGAIN AT LAST
MINUTE.
sY Az oCIArKr Errss

Washington, July ,19.-Because of
errors in the procedure of local
boards particularly in New Jersey
We're discovered late today. Provost
Marshal General Crowder abandoned
the entire plan for the war army
drawing tomorrow. The full drawing
OF numbers from one to between ten
thousand and eleven thousand will be
made tomorrow and more than ten
hours VIII be required complete task.
General CroWder said that certain
boards in numbering the registration
cards segregated them bv election
districts and serial numbers had been
assigned to a whole group for the
board while cards were thus segre-
gated. If the drawing was conducted
as originally planned, in groups of a
thousand, ~ result would be a con-
siderable proportion of certain cleo
ton districts would be brought up
for examination together he said.
Stage setting for the great lottery
is not changed, being in the public
hearing room of the senate office
building, members of the military
committees, newspaper men and
photographers viii witness the draw
ing. A blindfolded man will draw a
capsule containing a number from
the bowl, one at the time. The men
announce the numbers, which will
then be recorded on a blackboard.
One man will stir the ten thousand.
five hundred capsules in the bowl
while the drawing is in progress.
Officers in Crowder's office congratu-
lated themselves that the difficulty
of the original plan was found t.xA~y
before the drawing started.

French Under Gen. Petain
Recapture All Positions
North of Verdun.
GERMANS SUFFER
ENORMOUS LOSSES
Intense Activity Along Lines
in Eastern Galicia is
Now Indicated,
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

French Front, in Francs, July 19.-
The Crown Princes army suffered
one of its rudest shocks when the
French yesterday attacked and recap
tured all the positions northwest of
Verdun. These cost the Germans
much hard fighting when they took
them from the French.
The affairs cost the Germans not
only the loss of their former con-
quest and about 500 prisoners, but
the French cut into their line and
repeated counter attacks by the Ger
mans failed to recover any part and
resulted even in more losses.
The Germans when they advanced
at the end of June had obtained
possession of a number of splendid
observatories.
The French were obliged to delay
the movement to recapture them ow-
ing to bad weather but continued the
heavy bombardment, causing the
Germans such losses that they were
obliged to relieve the tenth reserve
division. The twenty-ninth division
replaced it, supported by the forty
eighth division composed of fresh
troops brought from the Russian
front
! Tt was while relief was proceeding
that the French attackef, thoroughly
surprising the enemy by appearing In
their trenches while the lombard
ment was proceeding. The French
battalions were greatly animated. In
a few seconds they hs% surmounted
the objects separating the armies and
disappeared down the other side. Be
fore the Germans could recover the
French were within the third line
German trenches. The enemy's dis
order was so great the French were
able to gather many prisoners and
dashed even farther than they in
tended and occupied ground on 300
yard front of what had been French
positions before the German attack in
June.
The French now hold all the OBJ
servatories overlooking the slopes of
LIE Mort Homme and Hill 304. The
whole engagement lasted only thirty
minutes. The first German reaction
occurred unsuccessfully twelve hours
later.
The Pensacola journal., 1917-07-20

While the world today is awaiting
with keen interest the declaration of
Germany policy which the new i'm
perlal chancellor, DIR. George Mich
aelis, is expected to deliver in the
reichstag, the military forces of the
belligerents for the moment are en-
gagged in infantry Operations of major
Importance only along the front in
Eastern Galicia.
Reports from this theatre of in
tense activity have indicated lessen
ing in the speed of the Russian drive.
There has even been a recession at
one point where Austrian and Ger
man reserves have been thrown into
the fray in an effort to stop the
Russian onrush which was threaten
ing to roll up the entire Austro-Ger-
man line from Galieia doNn through
the Rumanian mountains and plains.
Otherwise the French front in
Northern France presents the most
notable features of momentary in
terest. Few days pass without an
effort on the part of the Germans to
get back some of the valuable terri
tory which was wrested from them
in the spring offensive, or to make
local inroads elsewhere on the French
lines.
A new field was chosen for an at
tempt of this sort last night. the
first really sharp attack for some
time in the field of the great Hinden-
burg retreat of last March being de
hvered just to the south of st, Quen,
tin. The crown prince chose a front
nearly a half mile in extent where
the French occupied a hillock to the
east of Gauchv. General Petain's
forces were taken back at first bv
the intensity of the drive and yielded
some ground in the first line. They
r>lhed quickly, however, and drove
the Germans out of the greater part
of the occupied positions.
The situation in Petrograd CON
tlnues troubled, but the provisional
government apparently has decided
to take hold with a firm hand and
have it out with the ultra extreme
elements which are keeping the city
in turmoil. Martial control has
been established there and drastic
measures seem to be the order of the
day.
Meanwhile the cabinet council is
