other centers and brings to her work
in Pensacola a great deal of enthusi-

are planned for the summer work at
present. with perhaps tennis and
basket ball later in the season. 1t is

leg by fragment of shell.

The Loyal Legion, in the five prin-

total of 1924 men. The legion was
composed of $4,000 men at the begin
ming of the war and Mr.. WILDLY is
one of the six survivors.
The highest decoration given by
France was awarded to the Foreign
Legion by President Poincare, the
cross of the Legion of Honor. and
this medal stands out supreme among
the 784 other decorations which have
been awarded the legion.

Mr.. WILDLY would be entitled to wear

DEFEAT CERTAIN
FOR AUSTRIANS

PARIS, June 20.-The splendid re-
sistance of the Italians and their
Franco British allies leads the French
press to conclude that the Austrians
cannot avoid defeat, especially as
well directed counter-attacks have re-
suited in the capture of thousands of
prisoners and much war material.
A Havas dispatch from Rome says
that Italy has achieved a great double
victory, referring to the recent naval
exploit in the Adriatic and the present
checking of the Austrians.
