MAKES STATEMENT
Gen. March Explains Strategical
Moves and Gives Amer
lean Locations.

Washington, Sept. 4-Gen. March
announced today that the total en-
barkation of American soldiers for all
fronts including the Siberian expedi-
ton, had passed the 1000 900 mark by
August 81.
The chief of staff identified the
American unit which participated in
the Flanders advance as the 30th di-
vision composed of troops from Ten
nessee, North and South Carolina.
Turning to questions as to location
of various American troops General
March said the seth division, compos-
pi and Arkansas, was now in process
of being landed in France.
This is the "Old Hickory division.
In answer to question, Gen. March
said it was estimated that more than
250,000 had landed in France during
August. The record for monthly ship
ment, he added, was 2s5,0o0.
Taking up the military situation.
Gen. March said the object of the
Canadian drive across the old Queant-
Drocourt switch line was Cambrai,
which was now within seven and halt
miles of the British advance according
to official advices.
Maximum British Advance.
March said, the British had crossed
the socalled Hindenburg line on the
efght-mile front. He added that the
maximum advance of the British since
the drive started in Picardy and ex-
tended northward was IA miles.
On the Flanders front, March said
the enemy was retiring without very
severe pressure brought upon him and
the Flanders salient already had been
virtually blotted out.
The chief of staff pointed out that
the main resistance to the allied ad-
vance all along the line had been en-
countered by the British on the Scarps
sector. The rapid French advanCs
south Of that sector he added, was
largely due to British successes in ov-
grooming this resistance. This was
shown clearly when the French ad-
vanced between six and ten miles on
a twenty-five mile front In one day
south of the Somme.
The enemy made efforts to hold the
French along the line of the canal du

-
Washington, Sept 4.-Pensacola will
get no more contracts for war work
for the government in addition to the
work already on hand until steps have
been taken to adequately house the
employees already there and make pro-
vision for housing any additional work
ers that may be necessary.
Because efficient carrying on of w91

partment has issued orders that nc
additional war contracts are to be
awarded to these towns until it is es-
tablished beyond doubt that there are
sufficient means provided for housins

Mayor Takes Steps to Prevent
Neglect of Very Vital
Opportunity.
PROPOSITION UP

able in Few Days.

Although no official notice has been
received either at the office of the
City Commissioners or at the Cham :,
Der of Commerce of the federal order1
stopping the letting of war industries .
to Pensacola and five other cities in
the south because of inadequate HOUSE,
ing, Mayor Sanders is taking steps tot
ward Off what he considers would be q
deplorable neglect to take advantages
of a vital opportunity.
While the mayor indicates that hist
personal opinion is that housing fa~
cilities here are sufficient for the im-
mediate present, he says he does not
intend to let the city go to sleep on
the proposition. He says the govern-
menI can go to work at once building
houses on the tract north of Barrancas
street and between H and 0 streets,
which is near the shipbuilding yards.
and that it will be found that the city
of Pensacola will promptly fulfill its
part of the agreement.
a statement to this effect was conn
municated to the Chamber of Com
merce by the mayor. He urged that
the chamber give the matter prompt
attention, and expressed himself as
ready to cooperate with that body to
the fullest extent of his personal
power. He reminded the chamber that
the bond issue of $21e ,e0c,, passed q q
the meeting Tuesday of the conn1is-
sioners, would be ready for sale in a
few days, and that, therefore, delay
in the matter is unnecessary. Tho
bonds sale is to provide funds for con-
structing paving and extending sew
ers. water and other public utilities
mains to the tract where the projected
improvements are to be made.
No Need To Slioht Cifv
The mayor further called the at
tention of the chamber to the example
set by Mobile in taking immediate and
aggressive action to provide ample
housing facilities for all who might
locate there to engage in war indus
tries work. He expressed the opinion
that Pensacola can do as mucn, per-
haps more, considering her naturally
progressive spirit.
The mayors reply to the federal or
der is that If the matter cf housing Is i,
the only question. it should not be
necessary to Slight Pensacola on that
account.
A similar attitude is maintained by
the mayor toward the recent propoas-
tion of the government to conduct a
campaign here for the eradication of
certain unsanitary conditions in some
of the outlying and older sections OF
the city. The proposition of the gov
ernment was to have the work donai
il the city would furnish the money.
The mayor states very emphaticaIly
that the city is ready to do its part
as to supplying the required finances
and is waiting the pleasure of the
government.
Chamber to Take Action.
President Louis DEM. Blocker OF the
Chamber of Commerce has called a
meeting OF that body to convene at
the earliest possible time. when mem
bers will decide what is to be done
to avoid losing future government in
dustrial orders because OF housing
and transportation conditions here. No
announcement was made by the Cham.
Der of Commerce as to what action
might be taken.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR.,
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the suhsti.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with caloacl,
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or cslomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
