I'VE shall neither accept for our

.The news is distinctly good, really
good said the premier. I'VE are going

steep grades to climb. 1t may be that
the tunnel will be dark. but it will be

10 Draw on Vast Wood Supplies
in Escambia and Santa
Rosa Counties.
COST TO CONSUMERS
TO BE SUPERVISED
Mayor Sanders and Committee
of Business Men Work
ing Out the Details.

If present plans of Mayor Sanders
and other officials carry out, Pensa-
cola will suffer but little this winter
from any shortage Of fuel. 1t is pro-
posed to. cut up the vast number oil
fallen trees in the northern part OF
Escambia and Santa Rosa counties
and lighter them to Pensacola, where
the wood will be sold to consumers al
prices which will be supervised by the
city.
J. G.. Pace and Jack Aolland, of the
Escambia Land & Manufacturing Co.
are cooperating with the city officials
and arrangements are being made to
secure the quantities of wood which
are going to waste there and make
them available to Pensacolians at the
lowest possible price.
Mayor Sanders has named a COM
mittee with DIR. Louis DEM Blocker
president of the Chamber of Commerce
as chairman, which will have active
supervision of the prices charged, TO
prevent profiteering. Other members
of the committee are c. c. Ball and
j. NJ. Johnson.
The shortage of labor will be one
Of the hardest features to overcome,
but as this is an essential industry and
probably would be classed as such by
the government, later action under the
proposed work or fight law as a re-
suit of the new draft act may remedy
any labor Shortage
1t is believed that an entire winters
supply for the city can be secured
within easy moving distance of the
river. and from up-river points, light
cred to the city. The plan would es-
ia ablish a big yard something like
municipal wood yards used in other
cities where the timber could be cut
to suitable lengths at q low cost.
It's distribution VIII take place un-
der the supervision of the city officials
and it is believed that If labor can be
secured, Pensacola will be assured an
ample supply of ffrewood this winter
1t is certain that there will be some
trouble this winter in getting a suf-
ficient supply of coal and this action
presages an ample fuel supply for the
city.

LABOR HEADS
MEET TONIGHT
DISCUSS JOBS
INVITE CITY AND COUNTY OFF,
GALS TO AID IN FILLING THE
I.ABORO NEEDS IN COUNTY-ASK
EMPLOYERS TO ATTEND.


City and county officials and pub
lie spirited citizens are urged TO at
tend the meeting of the Self Preserva-
tion Loyalty League wh.ch is to be
held tonight at o'clock in the council
chamber of the city hall. A special
invitation has been sent to the Of
ficials and employers OF labor in Es-
Gambia county.
Federal labor bureau men will at
tend the meeting and ado their word on
labor conditions TO information which
will be presented at the session. One
of the features of the discussions will
be the scarcity of labor which is re-
ported in rural districts.
1t is claimed that this shortage is
seriously hampering the harvesting OF
crops and the preparation of the
ground for fall planting. Labor men
believe this work 70 be next in import
ance to that of the governments re-
quirements here. 1t Is hoped that
some means will be found to relieve the
labor shortage in certain parts OF the
county and to set at wosax many men
who are charged with refusing jobs Of
fered them and with lettering on the
streets.

EN- GAGGED IN
GREAT BATTLE
PERSHING EMPLOYING PINCERS
TACTICS AND CRUMPLING ENEMY'S
VINGS-WILSON Is ANXIOUSLY
AWAITING NEWS FROM FRONT.

Washington. D. c., Sept. i2.-Sixteen
months of vast war effort of the Uni
ted States reached its first goal today
when Gen. Pershing's forces struck
their first independent blow in France
against the Germans.
The all-American attack means that
months of ceaseless effort have brought
forth a third great organized army,
backed by iyts own supplies and mil
lions of soldiers. il needed, to strike
alongside the British and French de-
cisive blow for democratic ideals.
Gen. Pershing is employing the pm
GERS tactics so successfully used by
Foch.
Up to late hour no official report
from Pershing had come. The presi-
dent visited Acting Secretary of War
Crowell during the afternoon to learn
just what Pershing had accomplished.
On the face of tonight's reports, offi-
GERS here believe there is good prom
ise that Gen. Pershing might succeed
in closing the neck of the bag and
trapping considerable force. The
American attack is a major action, 1t
is said, and there is no doubt that
they are the strongest American forces
yet in action. Possibly quarter of a
million are engaged.

the various precincts slightly in ex-

MAKE P FACE
IN SPEECH AT KRUPP WORKS. DE-
CLARED ONLY LORD KNOWS HOW
HE HAS EVER BEEN READY TO
EXTEND THE OLIVE BRANCH.

Amsterdam, Sept. i2.-Speaking at
the krupp munition works at Essen,
the kaiser declared that everyone in
the remotest corner of the fatherland
knows that he had left no stone un-
turned to shorten the war as far as
possible for your people and for the
entire civized European world
The kaiser said: I'm December, 1916,
] presented the enemy public with a
clear and unambiguous offer Of peace
in the name of the German empire
and my allies. Jeers, mockery and con-
tempt were the answer.
God above knows my sense Of re-
sponsibility Repeatedly during the
of the imperial government have un-
ambiguously given to understand, to
every one who wished to understand,
that we are at all times ready to offer
the hand of peace"
The emperor declared the answer of
Germany's enemy was the outSpoken
will to destruction. the disintegatioA,
the crushing of Germany.
ITO make peace" he added, two are
needed. if either is unwilling the other
cannot, presuming that he does not
overthrow the other. Thus we are
confronted with the enemys absolute
will to destruction. Ana against this
absolute will to destruction we must
place our absolute will to existence
Our brave army out there has shown
you this will and deed. Whether in
assault, or withdrawal, or trench
fighting, the only thing that matters
is that the enemy should lose as much
