DISMISS CASE
Of SERGE EANT
WRIT RULED OUT AND RECRUIT
ING OFFICER JOHNSON DIS
CHARGED on MOTION OF I. :.
ATTORNEY HOFFMAN.

Chipley, Aug. 29.-Upon motion of
Assistant L. S. District Attorney G.
f. Hoffman, who came from Pensa-
cola to represent the government in
the case Of Recruiting Sergt. Johnson
in County Judge Henry Bush's court
at Vernon today, the writ against the
recruiting officer was dismissed. The
prosecution was represented by Hon.
w. S. Weeks, special counsel, and the
first move in the proceedings was to
amend the writ, to bring it within
the province of section 1922, Florida
stsfutes, which prohibits anyone from
enti,ing labor away, when under CON
tract It Was alleged that the boy
who enlisted had been entae~J bN5 tho
sergeant from employ of the Hender-
SON Waits Company.
Not. objecting to the amending of
the writ, the district attorneys repre-
sentative maintained that the state
courts were without jurisdiction in
this case; that if the sergeant was
guilty of anything at all, he should
be handled by the federal military
authorities, under sections 65 or 9G
articles of war. One prohibits the
enlistment Of anyone under age, while
the other pertains to the general con
duct of military officers generally.

Cola'S bunkerage business, according
to local coal dealers, who stated to
The Journal yesterday that it is i'm
possible to operate on a five day
margin of time.
The reduction of the free time on
cars at Pensacola has been a conten-
tiOn of long standing between the
railroads and local dealers, and has
been taken before the Commerce COM
mission on several occasions. Late in
April the Chamber of Con. merce pre-
serted elaborate statistics II the COM
mission showing that 10 reduce the
free time would destroy a business
which has been very profitable in this
city.
Dealers contend that owing to the
very nature of the business, and the
uncertainty of sea travel, it is i'm
possible to operate the bunker bug4-
ness or a five day basis. Some state
that an average of five days would
result in less hardship, and would still
permit some business, but when this
was denied, and the five day PROPOSE

the business is abandoned.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

While Russian leaders are debating
at Moscow with divided opinions as to
, the best steps to take for saving the
country from threatened disaster
within and without, the Russian
armies continue to show perilous
weakness at critical points.
The latest break in the line through
disaffection among the troops oc
Cured on the southern Rumanian
front, where the Austro- German
armies are menacing Moldavia with
the fate of Wallachia, overrun in the
great Teutonic- Bulgarian drive of last
year.
In the Fokshani region, a Russian
division abandoned its positions and
fed in disorder. This facilitated a
Teutonic advance that continued all
day yesterday on the Southern Ru-
manian front, the Austro-German
troops pushing northeastward toward
the Ocna-Pantzin railway. The lines
were still yielding last night in the
Varditza region.
Stormy weather apparently is pre-.
venting any notable military activi-
ties on the Franco-Belgian front.

successful operation of Monday near
Langemarck, in which they pushed
forward a considerable distance along
a front of more than a mile, con-

In other sections the British carried
out successful raids, capturing pris-

front in the Verdun region, and in
the great campaign which General
lCadorna is waging on the lsonzo
front against the Austrians.
