The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-11-13

It's a fact. Tarpon Springs is an
armed military camp. Salute the sol
der boys. Tramp, tramp, tramp.
Haiti Attention.
Now, boys, you have a perfect right
to swell out your chest. You have
real guns-73 of 'em. You can trim
the biggest man in town down to your
size-yes, even to the size of Mr..
Rome Tinny.
We were attending meeting of the
board of trade last evening when the
soldier boys with their guns came
along. Three members of the city
council were also present. These gem
tlemen began to look white. and trem-
BILE in their boots. The rumor had
gone out that when the boys got their
guns they were going to call on the
city council and REQUEST an appro-
priation for an armory. Get heword
request? Just like Emperor VIII
liam requested" Belgium to let his
soldiers pass through.
The council meets again next Tues
day and if seventy-three armed, and
determined soldiers fill the council
chamber and politely REQUEST the
council to arrange for an armory for
their headquarters, we bet the city
fathers will feel so honored and proud
of the aggregation that they will
stretch the city charter to find ways
and means of granting this armory
that is if this stretching process is abb
/ solutely necessary.
Mrs. Martha Gibble has kindly all
lowed the "sojer boys" to use the room
next to The Leader Office temporarily.
This is very nice of her, but ii, would
be expecting too much to hope to have
it as permanent home without pay
ing for same. BY the way, if it is
suitable why not rent it? No doubt
it can be secured at a very reasonable
price for this purpose.
The uniforms for the boys have not
yet arrived though the hats are here.
However, it's the guns which make
soldiers though the uniforms add to
the appearance The uniforms are ex-
pected any time. But uniforms or no,
We have He zesall sf. Sd d els now and
they'll protect Tarpon Springs day or
night even if they have to appear in
their B. V. DIS. Imagine their parad-
ing thuslyi wouldn't they rout an en-
tire regiment of Germans?
It would be in order, we believe, for
the city council to carry a white flag
to the next meeting they've got to
surrender and provide that armory
sooner or later. Might as well do it
now.
Tramp, tramp. tramp. Charge!
Only the rustic of dry leaves breaks
the stiffness of the lands over which
the Germans have passed. desolation
stalks gaunt. and bony.
1t is the American soldier boys who
will put the smile back on the face Of
humanity, comfort the stricken, patch
up the derelicts, and establish again
a reverence for God and the truth.
The Tarpon Springs soldiers are cog
in this great wheel which is slowly

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov 13.-The enemy's opera
tons on the north and east in an at
tempt at enlightenment of the Italians
have not succeeded. The menace on
the Italian left wing also is virtually
past.
The RECOMMENDATION of the Italian
army along the chosen line of defense
is now virtually an accomplished TACT
and the whole vast organization is
preparing for the battle that is not 50
far off. The men are in good spirits.
Retirement of that part of the Ial-
ian force in the Carnic district Of
Northern Venetia has shortened the

twenty miles. along the new river de-

The board of governors q the
Board of Trade and the city council
met in joint session Monday afternoon
at the city hall. The object of the
meeting was to discuss the PROPOSE

Snapshots of Kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through In large num-
bers, the Y. M. c. A.. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost. In London
the American Y. M. c. A. mas erected
large building for our soldiers and a
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack.
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed on account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British Y. M. c. A.
A feet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. C. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up sol
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm
portance of this service can be esti-
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y.
M. G. A beds every night.
Entertainment o. Vast Scale.
The Y. M. C.. A. has erected a big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each of

Russian Revolt To
Kerensky Is Still

Stockholm, Nov. ia bloody en-
counter has taken place near Gatchina
between soldiers from the front head
ed bysPremier Kerensky and Bolshe-
vik forces from Petrograd, according
to adyices which have reached Ira Mel
son Morris, the American minister,
from reliable sources. The result of
the battle was not reported to Mr..
Morris.
It is reported that M. Kerensky is
still issuing proclamations as premier
and that strong forces are rallying
against the Bolshevil1i. General Cal
denies, former chief of the Cossacks,
has announced his refusal to recognize
the Leninites and Maxim Gorky is is
suing daily bulletins against them.
The Gsmmitteesf public safety, which
was appointed by the mayor and city
dunaa, has secured the support of the
MenshevilSi social revolutionists and
the bourgeoise parties generally and
also is receiving support from the
central railway committee.
The committee Of public safety sent
an emissary to treat with the sailors
of the feet. He has reported that the
sailors already are showing dissatis-
faction with Lenine.
The reports also say that the COM
mittee has issued an appeal to the city
population and to the city militia to
abstain from violence against the Boil
sheviki, who have the support of the
sailors and $4,000 soldiers of the Pc
trograd garrison, and to await a
peaceful solution of the situation.
All the ministers of the provisional
government who were arrested at the
commencement of the revolt have been
released, except Foreign Minister Ter
estchenko and one other. The banks
in Petrograd are still closed but the
shops are open,

hours lying in shell holes with the enemy all about. it Is impossible to state; but there were a large number.
 In the first rush of the Germans into Gouziecourt, many engineers were caught between the opposing lines as the British surged forward to meet the shock. It was a tense situation for them. There was no escape from the rapidly narrowing zone between the two armies.
 The Germans already were firing their rifles steadily, and the engineers knew that the British also would open up with a heavy fire. But even in the stress of this moment the British officers recognized the situation and, before starting to shoot, signalled to their allies to lie flat on the ground.
 The engineers dropped where they stood and in another instant a steady stream of rifle and machine gun bull lets was whining over them.
 The British then pushed forward far enough to enable the engineers to join

 Allied with 21 great nations" he continued, America is enlisted in a common enterprise which is to re- lease the spirit of the world from bondage. The energy, the genius and the courage of tens of millions of devoted patriots are being exerted on the battlefields, and the earth is running red with their blood that the repugnant theory of the divine right of kings may be forever abro- gated; that the shackles of autoc- racy may be sundered; that the un- reasoning, the faithless and the ruthless law of militaristic power may be utterly destroyed; that the world may be made safe for that wonderful theory of government which guided the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock and steeled the hands and the hearts of the heroes of Lex ington. Was it humanly possible, my brothers and friends, that this great country, that gave purpose and meaning to the term human liberty and reared the structure of freedom so high that the lights in its win dOws shine over every sea and over every land, should have~no part in this decisive struggle for the vim dication and preservation of all that we hold most dear? Surely 1t was not humanly possible. God knows the leader of this nation tried, by every honorable means, by every just means, by every consideration of pa tience and forbearance-some say for too long-to keep our people out of the raging holocaust; he tried to keep up out of the war because ours is essentially a nation of peace-it worships at the altar of peace-it neither revels in destruction nor finds pleasure in despair; but destiny willed that this great nation, which through the sorest of trials won free dom for itself and liberty for its citi- zens should help to win these bless ings for the world"

In the first rush about GouzeaucOurt the Germans captured considerable num- Der of British guns and not a few of the German guns which the British took in their drive last week. The enemy was unable to move this artillery back before a British counter attack swept the Germans eastward again, and the British recovered all of the German artillery and the major portion of their own.
 The Germans overran British divi- sional headquarters at GouzeaucOurt and captured some papers and maps, but the staff had been able to get many important documents out before the Germans arrived.

 Among the many unusual experi- ences of the engineers was that of one man who had been wounded and was being removed from the field in an ambulance. A German airman at tackled the ambulance with a machine gun at a low altitude and poured a heavy fire into the conveyance. One of the bullets struck the unfortunate occupant, and he was wounded sec ond time. Luckily, neither injury IS a serious one, according to report.
 The fame of the exploit of the engi- neers spread rapidly through the army and the correspondent has heard them talked about on every side. their mag nificent service having been received with the deepest appreciation every where The engineers themselves had little to say about the affair. For the most part they merely smiled and ad- mitted that they had been in an en- gagement and then changed the con- VerSatiOn.
 For nearly four months American engineers have been laboring on the roads behind the British lines, but military requirements precluded the mention of this fact until 1t was an- 1 no1nced that the Americans had played an important part in the drive, having had a large hand in the marvellous work which resulted in the pushing of the vital railroads up to the front.
