INCREASING NUMBER OF MEN.
WHITE AND COLORED, ARE
ANSWERING THE CALL

Jacksonville, Fla, April 29.-Be-
cause of the continued demand for
men, both white and black, in all
branches of the regular and national
armies, Lieut.. M. ]. De Priest, recruit
ing officer for Florida, has established
additional recruiting offices at Ocala,
Palatka, Gainesville, st. Augustine
and Fort Pierce. The old stations at
Pensacola, Tallahassee, Jacksonville,
Orlando, Tampa and Miami will, of
course, continue in operation, Post
masters and travelling agents of the
army also become more active.
In spite of the fact that more than
a year has elapsed since the United
States entered the war, resulting in
thousands of Floridians entering the
service at once, enlistments in all
branches continue to increase, as is
shown by the fact that the record Of
April exceeded that of March by about
one hundred. Florida is now ahead
of most states of twice its population
in the matter of furnishing volunteers
from is to Fl and 81 to Al years of
age, and has also made a magnificent
showing in the draft.

The Leader saying: Il want the
names of a few real estate agents"
We have not sent the papers re-
quested as yet, for there is not a sim
gle real estate agent advertised there
in and therefore we have no way of
knowing if there is real estate agent
in Tarpon Springs.
If there are any real estate agents
here we would like to have their pro-
fessional cards in The Leader; other
wise the New Jersey prospect will be
compelled to decide that there is no
real estate here for sale. We win hold
this letter for few days hoping there

SUNDAY FIGHTING |g|I| MADE MADE No No Ma
|TER|A[ CHANGE IN The BIG BATTLE
LINES SUMMARY OF WAR EVENTS

The entire allied line in France and
Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere
have the Germans been able to make a
further dent in it. Hard fighting has
been in progress on the Ypres sector
around Voormezeele and to the south
of Locre. Both places have several
times changed hands but the last re-
ports Voormezeele had been recap
tured by the British but the Germans
had obtained another foothold IN
Locre.
Voormezeele was taken by the Ger
mans Saturday, but the British in a
night attack won it back and since
have held it, inficting heavy casual
ties on the Germans.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line, but every
where have been repulsed, notably IN
the st. Mihiel and Luenville sectors.
Aside from the attacks and few
unimportant operations between the
British and the Germans artillery

duels have predominated.
AS a whole there is no material
change in the situation along the en-
tire front over that of Saturday, and
it is not evident that the Germans are
prepared for the present to resume
the offensive which has cost them so
dearly in men killed, wounded and
made prisoners. Reports are coming
by way of London to the effect that
in Germany there is much perturba-
ton over the inability of the Teutons
to pierce the allied line.
The operations in the Italian theatre
are of a minor character, consisting
of small patrol encounters and artil-
lery duels of more or less intensity on
various sectors.
Nothing new has come through eli
tker in the way of confirmation or de-
NAL of reports in circulation Saturday

The Hotel Vernada
at Brooksville Was
Burned Yesterday!

Brooksville, April 29.-The three
story Varnada hotel, the largest in
the city, was completely DESTROYED by
fire early yesterday. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000, with about
$4,000 of insurance. The fire was
one of the worst ever seen here, and
for a time threatened the, entire bust
ness section.
The fire was confined to the hotel
building, although it came very nearly
communicating itself to block of
brick buildings near by, the closest of
which was the fernando State bank.
The bank and the other brick build
ings in this block were saved by the
presence of a high brick fire wall be-
tween them and the hotel.
