GREAT SPECTACLE WHEN
AMERICANS ELECTED HUNS

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, July 15.--It was a brilliant
operation in which the American
troops elected the enemy from the po-
sitions he had gained temporarily on
the southern side of the. Marine. The
Americans counter attacked vigorouNy
this evening with remarkable dash,
throwing the Germans back across the
river near Fossoy.
line had been the scene of the most
desperate fighting. when the Germans
started to throw pontoons across the
stream. A few German elements at
first succeeded in getting over in
boats, chasing the Allied troops away
from the banks while the German en-
gineers began to lay the bridges. Six
OF these bridges formed a lattice work
and RAPIDLY Joined the banks on either
side. Two of the bridges were most
substantial structures and between
twenty and thirty feet in width.
French airpIanes played great havoc
I'm the German ranks while the Ger
man bridges were under construction.
One BON bfng squadron flying at a
height OF 200 metres dropped bombs
on two OF these bridges while enemy
troops were crossing. The bridges
were broken and the soldiers thrown
In the river. The aviators constantly
bombed the other bridges and did
great execution among the Germans
on the bridges as well as on the banks
where the enemy was concentrated in
great masses.
Chen the Germans had crossed the
river the fighting which already was
heavy became terrific. The French
and Americans holding the southern
side fell back on their principal COM
bat positions. They fought all the
way and counter attacked occasional
Nv. creating confusion in the ranks OF
the advancing foe.
Then. late in the evening, the Amer
leans started dashing counter blow
which resulted in the Germans retir-
ing pell nell to the river. :

day, a communication from the Davis
Bertram Company. municipal bonds,
of Cincinnati, Ohio. was read in rela-
ton to the issue of $4,000 s 1-2 and
6 per cent bonds of the road and bridge
district, the company stating that their
attorneys had approved these bonds.
which have been taken over by this
company.
The communication called attention
to the fact that the interest is pay
able in Pensacola, and suggested that
this be changed to some bank in New
York, the letter stating that I'VE have
one place where we think we can Sell
part of this issue, provided the interest
and principal is payable in New York"
On the advice of the attorney r. Pope
Reese it was decided to make this
change.
The session was given over almost
entirely to the receipt of the tax
books and discussion of the budget for
the coming year.
c. A Fulford in a communication.
suggested to the board the necessity
of the maintenance of a county agent
in Escambia, citing the fact that in
Holmes county. where Tsoperty values
the agent is 500 per month. A com.
munication from s. w. Hiatt along the
same lines was read and filed. No de-
cision was arrived at in regard To
this increase in salary at the meeting
yesterday.
Ed Davis, who served as county
registration officer for two months,
filing the appointment made by Gov
ernor Cats for the unexpired term of
j. P Roberts, Jr., asked for reim-
bursement of s9S. He claimed that
this and more was due him as he took
it from his own pocket to pay for ex-
ira help and that the election could
not have gone on without it. He said
that County Attorney Reese had re-
fused it on the grounds of illegality.
1t was the general sentiment of the
commissioners that this amount be
paid, but Mr.. Reese stated that Mr..
Davis took the office with all its bur-
dens. However. if Mr.. Davis secures
receipted bills for the additional ser
vices secured for getting the registA.-
ton books in order the board viii con-
slider his plea.
Stephen Lee. appointed for coupta
surveyor, asked for an increase from
$50 to 50 per day.
The meeting was adjourned TO meet |
this morning at nine O'Clock when the |
consideration of the budget will be |
continued.

TAXI CASES MAY
BE TRIED TO-DAY

Cases which have been under con-
sideration for some time, in which
about half a dozen taxi men are de-
PENDANTS, were doeketed last night
and are expected to be passed upon
this morning in the recorders court,
and there are some interesting devel-
opments expected. 1t was reported
last evening that a writ of mandamus
would be sought, but no one was in
position last night to affirm the story.
and the understanding is that the
cases will be allowed to come to trial.
They are each charged with having
occupied forbidden ground" at the
San Carlos. on the Garden street
side, and some of them maintain that
the law is not being impartially en-
forced, hence desire to resist the
application of the ordinances in a few
of the causes.

GEORGE H. HERvEY
GOES BACK NORTH

George H. Hervey, who has been
spending a few days in the city at the
San Carlos hotel with his brother, c.
B. Hervey, has returned to Pennsyl-
vania, where he will resume his du-
ties in connection with the great ship
building plant located at Cornwall
Heights, just sixteen miles from Phil
adelphia.
Friends OF Mr.. Hervey regretted that
his business interests demanded that
his visit to Pensacola be very brief
During his residence here as manager
of the San Carlos, he was instrument
tai in many development projects, and
even after leaving the city to make
his home elsewhere, continued in his
efforts to promote the best interests
of this section Of the country.
1t was largely due to Mr.. Hervey
that the Pensacola Shipbuilding Com
pany was located here, as it was he
who directed the attention of capital
lists to this port as shipbuilding CEN
ter.

COLORED WOMAN
IS SERIOUSLY GUT

Quite a. disturbance was raised on
North. Guillemarde street at a point be-
tween Gadsden and Cervantes. at 30
o'clock yesterday morning, when a
negro woman, afterward found to have
been LESSEE Winn, set up one scream
after the other when a man, whom
she says was a negro well-known to
the police, attacked her and inflicted
the numerous knife wounds she dis
played on various parts of her body
after having been rushed to the police
station for treatment. The assailant of
the woman was not arrested She re-
manned at the station until the city
physician arrived and sewed up the sew
eral wounds.

blYLESS CASE ON
TRIAL IN COURT
RECORD TUESDAY

Practically the entire day was spent
in the court of record in the trial of
Deputy Bayless, charged with man
slaughter. The state rested its case
when court was ready to adjourn last
night, and the defense will have its
inning with the opening of the session
this morning. The greatest of interest
is being manifested in the trial, and a
number Of Santa Rosa county people
are here either as witnesses, prosecu-
tors or spectators. State Attorney Nc
Geachy sits with the county solicitor,
who Is being assisted by H s. Laird,
and his suggestions to Mr.. Blount are
many aIv~ are quite timely. Mr.. Blount,
the prosecutor, attende the coroner's
investigation, and Mr.. McGeachy was
also present. Both, therefore, are quite
familiar with the proceedings Sheriff
Haryell Is also on hand. Joe PRESLEY,
who was driving the car in which
Lowery and the negro were sitting
when shot, was star witness during
the day, and he detailed for the state
the day which he will never forget
Practically nothing new was adduced
in the case yesterday. 1t was claimed
that the defense has surprise to
spring today. but it was not even inti-
mated in just what way this would be
attempted.
Deputy Graham. the other DEFENDANT
who was indicted for manslaughter in
connection with the shooting into the
Presley car, is not on trial, but may
have to face jury either today or to-
morrow. It is not believed the Bayless
case will be finished before late today,
and at such a late hour as will preclude
the starting of the case of Hugh
Graham.
d. Jurymen in the case were selected
from a SPECIAL venire Of twenty men
summoned to appear yesterday. They
are w. B. Seals, H. P. Davis, Gus John
son, Robert Forrest, C. F. Parazine and
w. C.. Barrineau.

have restored their positions on the
Marine even more fully than during the
counter attack which drove the Ger
mans back to the river last night.
Two, OF the towns from which the
Americans were forced in the first
German rush into the exposed posi-
ton in the, river bend opposite Jaul-
gonne have been recaptured.
To the east the Germans appear to
have forced their way across the
Marne on a considerable front in the
Dormans sector. 1t is believed, how
ever. that If the American positions
on the flank are maintained, the Ger
mans east of them will be in great
peril A successful counter stroke
along the river bank heading eastward
from the American positions might
cut them off from the river and force
the surrender of whole organizations.
Farther east the French reports in
dictate that Franco-Italian forces are
holding stubbornly along a line gener-
ally about two miles back OF their
original positions.
so far no definite progress towards
encpmpassing Rheims from the west
and east has been made by the enemy
despite a lavish employment of re-
serves.
Oficers here are inclined TO look
upon the lighting east OF Rheims as
more OF a diversion than as real
attack Without doubt 1t would have
been pressed had IL met with success
but it's real purpose Is thought to
have been to draw French reserves in
that direction while the line from
Rheims to the Marine was pounded
back.
The fact that the battle is going
forward with increased intensity west
OF Rheims today indicates that fresh
German reserves were rushed up to
this front during the night in the eff
fort to overcome the check admins
tered yesterday by the Franco-Italian
forces Apparently this sector, includ-
ing the Marine crossing IN the Dor
mans region. is the vital part of the
German battle plan and no effort is
being spared to force the lines ahead.
War department officials are pleased
not only. at the valor and dash with
which the Americans have taken to
their work in the first great engage
rinent in which they have participated
but also with the indications that the
American military machine held to-
gether and function properly under
strain.
