Friends of Regular Army Sergeant
Charles Johnson, who was on recruit
ing duty in Pensacola and throughout
Northwest Florida prior to and after
the declaration of war against Ger

won the admiration of those who
knew him by the thoroughness and
effective ness of his work. He has

mentators during the pause in the op
erationS. The view usually espresso,
has been that the Germans were com
mitted so heavily to their campaign il
Picardy and Flanders and were occupy
ing such dangerous exposed position
that they were under the necessity of
striking again at those points when
they resumed the attack. 1t is not un
likely, however. that the attack on tEa
Asne front will be followed by re
newal OF the offensive on the other
battlefields. The German strategy ina
contemplate a surprise attack in suf
ficient strength to compel General Foch
to Withdraw troops from the north
In the hope OF involving the allies SUI
ficiently on the Aisne front to weaken
their lines in Picardy and Flanders.
II the Germans counted on the ele
ment of surprise to assist them in the
new attack they probably have fallen
into a miscalculation. 1t is. evident
from the British Official statement tha
the new disposition of troops ha
been made along the Aisne front. Be
fore the March offensive the British
line ran to the Disc river, south OF st.
Queuntin Going to the assistance OF
the British, the French took over q
sector extending to point east OF
Amiens There has been no previous
mention of the presence Of British
troops on this part Of the line except
for last nights German official state
ment In this statement was said that
in the region OF the Aisne northeast OF
La Neuville British were tai 4 pris
oners.
American troops may be taking par
in the new battle. Early in the spring
there were several references in new
dispatchs to the presence Of American
at that part of the line. Part of these
forces consisted Of artillery detach
ments in training but at one point at
least infantrymen We're in the trenches
There has been no recent reference to
Americans there, however and they
may have been withdrawn.
The front between scissors and
Rheims is difficult one, offering the
allies excellent facilities for the de-
fensive The country is nflly with a
series of strong natural positions to
the rear OF the allied lines. The Ger
mans have already sustained two Sc
we're defeats on this front. Last July
they undertook what is usually re-
ferred to as the crown princes often
sive'' which met with The same fate as
all the other military ventures of the
heir to the German throne. He carried
on the attack for several weeks and
met with costly failure. Last Oc-
tober the French launched an attack
and won a brilliant success, taking
1900 prisoners the first day. The enc
my was driven out of the Aisne valley
and the line was advanced TO the
Ailette, the Germans losing all the dis
puted ridge of the C.cmip nas DANES

CAR SCHEDULE IS

the question of whether or not inc

the right under its franchise to operate
cars on the East Hill loop in one direc-

having cars travel in opposite dlrec-

the turnout tracks were allowed at sew
