The boys of the navy, stationed at
the Aeronautic Station, have proven
perhaps, the most persistent and in
exhaustible source of subscriptions to
the second Liberty Bond issue in or
about Pensacola. The local commit
tee thought that these young patri-
OTIS had exhausted their proclivities
for subscribing when they received
Paymaster Robbins report on Thurs
day evening advising that the total
subscriptions TO that date had mount
ed up to $54,750 Not SO, however,
and the indications now are that the
navy men are going TO continue sub
scrlbing until the close of the cam
paIgn tonight. Latae yesterday aft
einoon Paymaster Robbins made his
daily report to the committee. which
was to the effect that $4,000 add
tIonal subscriptions had been booked
at the Aeronautic Station yesterday,
thus bringing the total OF the navy
up to S65, 900, in round figures.
The army subscriptions to last ni~Et
amounted to about $50 ,0a0, which
added to the navy subscriptions

response is sustained today, victory
is assured for Pensacola and made
more certain for the allies, for the
United States and for Democracy.
In the subscriptions yesterday there
were more small purchases than dur
ing the entire campaign. Fifty and
hundred dollar bonds predominated in
the sales of yesterday. Those are the
purchasers the committee is trying
to find; they are the purchasers the
government is calling for.
In the house-to-house canvass made
by some of the committees great re-
suits have been obtained. Large num-
bers among the laboring classes have
responded readily to the appeal of
their government.

WALTON CO. HAS
OVER-SUBSCRIBED
Patriotic Apalachicola and
Franklin County Come in
Strong on Finish.

Reports from DeFuniak received
at the Liberty Loan headquarters by
telephone last night indicate that
Walton has far oversubscribed its
quota, and is still continuing on the
drive.
The allotment to Walton county
was forty thousand dollars. Reports
yesterday placed the total at $50, ,75O,
$4,000 of which was subscribed by
the Harbeson Lumber Company
This tremendous response has gone
far to stimulate enthusiasm through
out the district and while some
counties may fall little below their
quota, it is hoped that on the whole
the total allotment may be made up.
A telegram was received from State
Senator HI. l.. Oliver of Apalachicola,
chairman of the county committee
for Franklin county last night stating
that applications forwarded yesterday
totalled $4,000. With keen interes.
aroused over the entire district, great
results are expected today every
where throughout West Florida.

SMACKS CARRYING
LUMBER TO CUBA

Returning from a round trip to
Cuba. the fishing Smack Kwasind,
which reached Gulf port yesterday,
completed a voyage as a cargo YES
sci, for the Kwasind, one of the most
sturdy of the red snapper fleet, car
ried a large consignment of lumber
to a Cuban port, and made the trip
without incident to speak of. 1t is
possible that this smack will continue
until further notice in the business of
transporting lumber from gulf ports
to points in Cuba and other isles in
that part of the world.
The Louis E. Harper is another ves-
sci which has been placed in the lum-
Der carrying business between gulf
ports and Cuba, and it is announced
that this smack is now on a voyage
from a port on the gulf to port in
Cuba, with lumber.

Teutons Were Still Smart
ing Under First Blow.
When Second Came.
FRENCH WADED
IN DEEP WATER
Present Thrust Apparently
More Extended Than
That of Last Week.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY


While the Germans on the" Aisne
front were still smarting from the
heavy blow General Petain had ad-
ministered to them, leaving him un-
interrupted in organizing the captured
ground, they were called upon to face
today a resumption of the entente Of
fensive in Flanders.
Both Field Marshal Haig and the
Paris war office report the launching
of the new attack, which is declared
to be developing satisfactorily al
though under most adverse weather
conditions.
The French were obliged to wade
through water up to their necks IN
crossing the ST. Jansbeck and Cover
beck rivers, but nevertheless they
made important progress on the lett
flank of the field of attack, capturing
Draeibank village, Papegoed wood
and many farms where the Germans
had organized points of supply.
Hundreds of Germans fell into the
hands of the French as prisoners.
The front of the thrust apparently
Is a far more extended one than that
Of last week, as the London official
statement mentions the attack as be-
ing launched northeast and east OF
Ypres. If the British have carried
The field of attack to a point as far
south as directly east of Ypres, the
battle front of the day is on line
approximately ten miles long, extend
ing along nearly the entire curve OF
the new Ypres salient.
Italy's armies have met with
serious reverse in the Isonzo battle,
losing 10000 men in prisoners and
300 gun to the Austrians and Ger
mans in their concentrated attack, ac-
,ording to the German claim.
Admittedly the Italians have been
forced back to their border along one
sector of the Northern Izonzo front
from Monte Maggiore to the west OF
Auzza, compelling the evacuation OF
the Bainsizza plateau. Thus General
Cadorna has through a single hostile
stroke lost much of the fruits of his
long months of campaigning against
the Austrians,
Apparently the Italian forces which
so brilliantly fought their way across
the Isonzo below Tolmino last sum-
mer and pushed for to the east, had
to make a hurried retreat from the
Bainsizza plateau and back across
the river because of the break IT
their lines to the north, suffering
heavily in the loss of men and guns
as they fell back.

Today is the last day of the Lib
erty Loan Campaign. Pensacola has
twelve hours in which to prove her
patriotism; $4,000 more is needed
to make up the quota for this city.
That amount was subscribed yester-
day, and more than that on Liberty
Day. 1t has been done twice; it can
be done again. On the closing day of
the first campaign Pensacola needed
S130,OO0 worth of bond sales. They
We're sold, and this city more than
doubled it's quota. With this past
record the committee feels con-
fident that the patriotism of Pensa-
colians will not be found wanting in
the present crisis, but that when the
campaign closes tonight it NAV be
truly said that this city is behind the
government.
When the appeal went out yester-
day that Pensacola was in dangss~of
falling below it's allotment, mag
nifcent response was felt. If that

Mariana. Fla, Oct. 26.-The cases

Allen Matthews is said to have
preaching through Houston county,

in private as we'll, advising his hear
ers that it: is contrary to the consti-
tutional rights to be sent abroad in
the service of the United States, and
that all soldiers so sent are obliged
to sign an international oatah,"
thereby forfeiting their rights as citi-
zens of the United States and becom-
ing slaves to the French; that in this
condition they will be compelled to
dig trenches and do all menial labor,
and that the pay allowed them as
soldiers in the United States will be
cut in half.
Many witnesses appeared both for
and against the defendant, but all
agreed on the substantial matter of
his statements. He was bound over
on bond of $1,000 to the federal
grand jury, which meets in Pensa-
cola in November. He promptly made
the required bond and was released.
The case against Jones did not ma
terialize. and after hearing the only
witness against him, the commissioner
