MIR. KEHOE NOT
YET REPORTED
Fletcher Says He Will Probably
Be Unable to Return
Home Very Soon.
Washington Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal
By GEORGE H. MANNING

washington, d. c., July 21.-While
all the Florida congressman except
Mr.. Drane of the Tampa district are
spending the congressional recess in
Florida it is unlikely that the two sena-
tors will be able to leave Washington.
Mr.. Walter Kehoe OF the Pensacola
district has not returned to Washington
since he was defeated for reelection
in the recent primary by Mr. j. H
Smithwick. No definite word has
reached Washington as to whether he
will return and serve out the unex-
pired seven months of his term or
whether he will at once return to the
practice of law
Congressman Joe" Sears left for his
home al Kissimee on Wednesday night
and will not return until the reconven-
ing of Congress on August 18th.
Congressman Frank Clark left for
home Immediately after the recess was
declared and is not expected to return
until August 18th
Mr.. Drane is remaining here cleaning
up a pile of correspondence and office
routine that accumulated in the past
few months. He may finish up this
job and spend a week or ten days in
his district during the recess.
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher stated
today that he expected he would not
be able to return to Florida during the
recess. Congress has not adjourned he
said, but is only taking three day re-
cesses. The Senate meets each Monday
and Thursday to transact business. he
said, and it appears necessary for him
to remain here.
In addition to this the committees of
the Senate are holding meetings, Sena-
tor Fletcher said. Senator Fletcher is
a member OF the Military Affairs. Com
merce and Judiciary Committees, each
Of which are holding hearings right
along.
As a member of the Military Az
fairs Committee he also attends each
Saturday the meeting with Secretary
Baker and the War Council at which
war policies and legislation are dis
cussed.
Because of the bi-weekly sessions of
the Senate IT is most likely that Sena-
tor Park Trammell will also find it in
convenient to leave Washington during
the recess.

STUDIES WORK
OF THE AMERICANS
Program as Mapped at Present
Calls for European Trips
at Intervals.
Washington Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, d. c., July, 21-Secre-
tary of War, Baker, win shortly make
another VISIT to France to coordinate
the work being done in this country
and on the other side towards whipping
the American Expeditionary Force into
an army sufficiently powerful to re-
move all doubt of it's beating the Huns.
Since he returned from his trip to
F. ance last spring, Mr.. Baker has ful1
realized the benefits he secured from
the personal observation of actual con-
ditions on the Western front and now
believes it would be almost an impos-
sibiIity to properly administer his office
without having first-hapd knowledge
of existing conditions at the front.
So thoroughly convinced is he of. the
necessity of having the fullest knowl-
edge, both of conditions here and in
France. in order to intelligently direct
the army's activities, that the War
Secretary will, in all likelihood, make
visits to the French front each four or
FIVE months during the war.
The General Staff shares this opinion
with Mr.. Baker and has recommended
almost from the beginning of the war
that officers who are to fulfill Important
duties in this country shall spend some
time observing modern war activities in
France. In pursuance of this idea the
chiefs of almost all the important
divisions of the War Department have
made visits to General Pershing's
headquarters and spent some time
making observations along the most
active fighting zones in France.
AS a means of further carrying out
/ this idea the practice has been adopted
of transferring high officers between
France and America each few months
so that those at the front will know
what may be expected from home and
the men stationed here will know what
is need in the front line.
With over million men in France
the greater portion of the task of ad-
ministering the War Department is
now plainly on the other side of the
Atlantic where the army can be di-
rected much more easily and wisely
! than from here.
The noticeable Speeding up in the
| Army war program after Secretary
Bakers visit to the front line last
| spring gives that visit recognition as
one of the most valuable contributions
/ to the conduct of the war.
/ The most important stage ef the war
| is now right at hand. The plans for
/ supplying the army with every possi-
| BILE equipment are now running
smoothly. The men are being drafted
and trained on schedule time. Ships
/ have been obtained and are being built
rapidly to carry the men and their
| equipment and supplies over in a
| steady stream. The Army's big job is
on the other side of the Atlantic and
Secretary Baker is going over again to
render all the assistance he can, in
| having it performed successfully.

Victories for Germany's Enemies
Continue to Multiply on
s 60-Mile Front.
BOCHES GIVING
GROUND STEADILY
German Wedge Nearest Paris
Driven Back by French and
American Troops.
CBy Associated Press)

Victories for allied arms in France
continue to multiply. Over an entire
siXty-mile front, from Soissons to
Rheims, allied troops are fighting with
a determination that brooks no denial
of their efforts and the Germans are
steadily giving ground, though stub
born resistance is being offered on
some sections. Further, goodly-sized
indentations have been made in the
German line between scissors and Cha
teau Thierry by the American, French,
British and Italians. Chateau Thierry
which represents a point in the battle
line where Germans had driven their
wedge nearest to Paris, has been re-
captured by French troops, and almost
simultaneously the village of Brasles,
two miles eastward, and heights to the
north OF that. village, fell into their
hands.
Acting In harmony with the move
ment on Chateau Thierry, American
and French troops northwest of that
place struck the Germans another hard
blow, and broke through the German
lines and drove through at some points
more than three miles. Large numbers
OF prisoners were taken and the ma
chine guns of the allied troops literally
moved down the Germans who en-
deavored to stay their progress.
the French are making good progress
towards the important junction town
OF Nanteuil-Notre Dame, while opera
tions in the south and southeast OF
scissors are keeping time with those
along other parts of the front.
The entire southern bank Of the
Marne, having been cleared Of enemy
forces, the French, British and italian
troops are now harassing those south
west Of Rheims, and they have been
forced back in Courtonwood, Andre
Valley and near st. Euphralse.
With the capture of Chateau Thierry
and the fast progress of French and
Americans eastward from the northern
sectors, the plight OF those Germans
in the southwestern portion of the
Soissons-R Rheims salient becomes in
creasingly hazardous and it is not inn
probable that when stock is finally
taken, large numbers of prisoners and
quantities Of guns and war stores will
be found to have been taken by the
allies.

HERBERT CRAFT
is SAND-BAGGED

Herbert Craft, residing at 915 East
Gadsden street. is confined to his room
from the effects of vicious assault
committed upon him by an unknown
party, late Friday night Mr.. Craft re-
manned unconscious from the effects of
a blow with some heavy instrument,
the blow having been dealt him in the
dark, late Friday night, on North Al
caniz street, at a point on the west
side, between Chase and Gregory
streets. He was unable to give the
police any light on his assailant, but
it is thought someone lay in wait for
any victim, and Mr.. Craft happened to
be the first one to come along that
way. Whether or not he lost money -
valuables was not contained in the
police report.

Great Western
Profits Smaller
Earned $3.11 a Share in 1917,
Against $5.31 the Year
Before

The Chicago Great Western Rail-
road Company in 1917 earned surplus
income of $l,345,841, which was equiv
alent to $3.11 q share on $43,926,G02
preferred stock, compared with $5.31
share earned in 1915. Total operating
revenues were s16,368,32a, an increase
of $236,631, and the balance after OPP
Grating expenses and taxes was $3,-
146,192, decrease of S1,145,821.
Samuel M. FELTON,, president Of the
road, said in the annual report, issued
yesterday, the compensation guaranteed
under the government plan of railroad
control would be equivalent to about
3 per cent on the company's preferred
stock. Concerning operations last year
he said:
1.-THE conditions during the year 1917
have been extremely abnormal and
those conditions are reflected in the lex-
hibits of revenues and operating ex-
penses in this report. In the case of
freight revenue there was decrease
of more than s256,0O0, this decrease
occurring entirely in the second half
OF the year, in which period it amount
guished an increase of nearly $i63,000,
which had accrued in the first six
months Of the year.
This condition was due principally
to the fact that there was practically
no movement of wheat to the North and
East from Kansas and Nebraska, while
in 1916 there was very heavy ton
mage of that character Throughout the
entire year 1917 there was serious and
continuous shortage of freight equip
ment because of the very large number
of the company's box cars being de-
tanned in the East, where unprecedented
and well known congested conditions
existed"

Cotton Prices
Again Recover
July Contracts Advance SIS a
Bale on Bad Weather
Report

Cotton prices underwent a sharp re-
covery in the local market yesterday
on trade buying and covering of short
contracts. July contracts sold at 9o.s2
and closed at 26.87, with the general
list closing firm at a net advance OF
"a to 121 points, or about So bale.
The market was influenced by reports
of unfavorable progress Of the new
crop and more optimistic view OF the
war and ocean shipping situation. Re-
ports from Washington of further
reduction in marine war risk rates were
considered significant.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of IL to 10 points and sold about
so to 60 points net higher before the
end of the first hour. There was buy
ing in expectation of bullish weekly
weather report, and it's publication was
followed by realizing which caused re-
actions of 80 or 35 points late in the
morning. Otherwise, however, there
was practically no pressure against
prices, and the market soon frmed up
on renewed covering and trade buying
of July and October. Best prices of
the day were reached in the late trad
ing, with active months showing net
advances of 100 to 10S points.
The weekly report of the Weather
Bureau was quite as bullish as looked
for, indicating that the crop had made
little or no progress. A report pub
lished before the opening pointed to
an increase Of per cent in acreage.
All the private reports so far published
have indicated an increase, the figures
ranging from 18 to per cent. No
exports were reported yesterday. South
ern spot markets as officially reported
were SO points lower to so points
higher, generally unchanged.
