Waite Hoyt succeeded Jonnard and held the Rarons to a pair of bingles and one run during the last three innings. Aside from the stckwork of the whole Baron team, Southworth's drive over the right field wall with Mcdonald on first featured. It was Bills first clout over the palings and he received hearty hand clapping after completing the circuit.
 Jesse Altenberg came to bat in the first inning and was presented with a wrist watch by his teammates. This was Alty's last appearance on the local lot, as he left soon after to catch a train for Chicago. where he goes to join the army.

In fact they never reached third base during the whole game. It was the sixth snning before Commy allowed another hit and this was Kniseley's two-bagger to center after two were down.

NOW IN FRONT
LINE TRENCHES
Gains, However, Thought to

Repulsed i'm Many Places.
(Associated Press Summary.

What possibly may be prelude to
the long expected resumption of hos
tilties by the Germans on the western
front Is being played. Southeast of
Ypres, from the region OF Voormezeele
TO Laclytte, the Germans have launch
ed an attack against the British and
French troops are holding the line, and
1T certain points over a five-mile bat
tie front, they have met with some
success by penetrating the front line
trenches. Apparently however, over
greater part of the field combat they
met with repulse. As is usual. the
enemy began the attack after a heavy
preliminary bombardment. The ground
gained is south OF Duckenbusch lake
and in a ridge of wood, around which
places hard fighting was continuing
at last accounts. Unofficial reports in
dictate the attack was made only in
divisional strength.
The objective of the enemy seems
TO be pushing forward his line in this
region in order to still further out
flank Ypres on the southwest and press
toward Poeperinghe and the railway
line running between that town and
Tpres.
on the remainder of the front in
Flanders and Picardy artillery duels
and small operations continue on iSo-
lated sectors.
The French south OF Laclytte have
penetrated the German advanced posi-
tions and taken prisoners, and the Aus
tralians east of Amiens have again
pinched in and taken portions of the
German line.
Artillery activity has been particu-
larly heavy on both banks of the Avre.
southwest of Amiens and on a sector
in Picardy held by Americans.

for the year is announced by J. F. C.
Griggs, state director, to be S902. .440,
and Florida's quota is S20,627.77. from

ed a total OF s45. .705.35. and there yet
remains to be sold for the ensuing
year to attain the provided quota, a
total of 1856, 1855. Thus it will be
seen that some active campaigning
will have to be necessary to uphold
the past good record OF the county If
the sales are to be either attained or
over-subscribed. B. s. Hancock is
chairman for this county, and he ex-
poets the sales will pick up wonder
fully now that attention is off the mag
nificent response to the third Liberty

number of American troops in France,
but am glad to be able to say that any
forecast made in January has been sur
passed"
AS a result of his personal investiga-
ton of machine gun production dur
ing the past few days, Secretary Baker
announced there is no present shortage
OF light of heavy types of these Weap-
ons. either in France or America, and
no shortage is in prospect. The sec
Rotary chose his words about troops in
France with the utmost care. He
wouldn't amplify his statement in any
way and specifically asked the press to
refrain from any speculation as to
what precise figures his guarded re-
raarkes covered. or the possibilities of
all early adiitional increase in the
forces overseas.
Today's statement regarding the
movement of troops to France is the
first Official utterance made during the
war, indicating even Indirectly the
number of men sent abroad. The fact
that more than five hundred thousand

Grated rate al which men are moving
