CLIFTON WAS NOT
REINS1AIED: HOUSE
AGAINST PROHI.
AMENDMENT

The House refused to concur in the
Senate amendment to the prohibition
bill, which would allow drug stores to
sell whiskey and brandy on prescrip
tons. This may prevent adjournment
today, as had been planned, and may
mean a deadlock Of some duration
between the House and Senate.
The vote in the House on the
amended bill passed by the Senate was
overwhelmingly against the bill
standing 65 against to 2 for.
The Senate sustained the removal
of W. L. Clifton as County Superin-
tendent of Polk county, refusing ia
reinstate Clifton, as was asked.
The appointment of d. 0. Rogers
to be State Attorney for the Tenth
Circuit was confirmed. .@tT

PAVING AROUND Lake
MORTON FINISHED;
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
OF LAKE PLANNED

A big improvement is added to thu
city OF Lakeland today by the com
pletlon this afternoon of the asphal,
drive around Lake Morton. By to
morrow the drive will be open for
traffic, and a delightful spin may be
taken around this lake, where hereto.
fore there has been only very i'm
perfect sandy road.
With the completion of this drive
there is brought prominently to the
public's attention the possibilities for
park purposes offered by the shores
OF this lovely lake, which now lies
not far from the center Of the city.
There is much that might be done if
means We're available; but in the
meantime, considerable improvement
that Will add to the beauty Of the
scenery, and the pleasure and com.
fort of all, may be effected, with on.
ly a small outlay.
With this in view, Commissioner
OSteen and S. f. Wilkinson, super.
intendent of parks have been confer.
ring, and they hope to interest all
who own property around the lake.,
and others who desire to have some.
thing done for the general beautiflca-
ton of the city, in some plans for
immediate improvement. This would
embrace the setting of palm trees at
proper intervals, along the drive,
with water oaks for shade at such
points where they would not obstruct
the view from the streets, and where
they would fit into an attractive
scheme At an early date Commits
sioner O'Steen desires to have a
meeting of these property owners
and other interested persons, to ex-
plain the ideas already advanced and
to bring out others; and notice of this
meeting will be given in this paper.
In short time work will be pushed
on the drive around Lake Wire, and
1t is planned to organize similar
association of the property owners
and citizens interested in identifying
the Surroundings of that lake.

Public eating houses, the food administrator said would con- tinue to comply with the baking regu- lations and to serve victory tread"
 MT. Hoover, in his cablegram, con graduated the proprietors oi public eating places upon their patriotic se,'- vice, expressed appreciation of the substantial savings effected and voiced confidence that the spirit shown will enable the American peo- pie to build up great fool reserve against the exigencies of the future.
 Though exact figures have not been compiled, it was estimated today by the food administration that through the voluntary pledge made ay hotels, restaurants, clubs and dining cars there has been effected bet cen Oc- tober 1917 and August, 1918, saving of between lV5,0OO,00O and 200,00G,- 900 pounds of wheat and its usoducta. 150,000,000 pounds of meat md 50,- 100000 pounds of sugar.

 Cavalry and tanks in considerable numbers have succeeded in getting in among the retiring Germans, while airplanes are bombarding their col umns on the march.

With the American Army on the Aisne-Marne Front, July 2S-The German line is again north of the Ourcq river and Fere- en- Tardenois, which his been entered by French troops is at the mercy of the allies. The tightening of the Hanks holds promise that the retreat will con- tinue.
 The line along the greater part of the bottom of the Soissons- Rheims sa- hent has been pushed forward in some places as much as five miles.
 The Germans are bringing into play their artillery in force to check the plunges of the Franco-Americans The Americans have played bril- liant part in the advance, which in- cluded the occupation of Sergy, on the north bank of the river, and a number of small villages.
 The line tonight follows the Ourcq river to Sergy and to Goussancourt, the latter place lying about six miles north of the Marne
 The Germans offered bitter resist ance, but not to compare with that which began late today for the reten- tion of the higher ground further north of the river. There they sup plemented their defense with artillery fire reaching over the American front lines to the supports, the volume of fire at times attaining enormous pro portions. Unwavering the Americans held their ground and even advanced slightly, while the French on their sectors to the right and left resisted as steadily against the vicious efforts of the Germans.
 From behind the advancing lines the allied heavy guns kept up a con tinuous bombardment throughout the day, shelling the German positions wherever the airmen reported troop concentrations.

Lloyd George Gives Warning to MunitiOn Workers Who Have Quit-NO Trade Dispute In- vOlved in Strike.

London, July 26.-Premier Lloyd George tonight announced in behalf of the government that all men who are wilfully absent from work on or after Monday next will be deemed to have voluntarily placed themselves outside the munitions industries. Protection certificates will cease to have effect and the men will become liable to the provisions of the military service act, the premier added.
 The statement said that certain workers had quit their jobs in disre- gard to their leaders and remained idle against the advice of the Union advisory committee.
 "They have ceased to work" the statement said, mot in pursuance of trade dispute, but in an endeavor to force the government to change a national policy essential to the prose cution of the war.
 While millions of their fellow countrymen hourly are facing danger and death for their country, the men on strike have been granted exemp- tions from these perils only because their services are considered of more value to the state in the workshops than in the army"
