Americans Go in Eight Miles
(By Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 13.-(1:30 p. m. -
Pershing's forces in an attack on the
southern side of St. Mihiel salient
have advanced a distance of eight
miles. The assault was made on a
front of fourteen miles. This morning
the Americans are making rapid
progress in continuation of the drive.
German prisoners say the attack was
. expected but was delivered so rapidly
they had no time to put up a stub
born resistance when ordered to.
Pannes was easily captured by the
Americans and Americans are report
ed to have captured Vigneulles, seven
and half miles north Of Xivray,
through which former line ran also
to Benoy, Heudicourt and Bois-de-
Ihiaucourt. If this strue, the neck
OF the salient has been narrowed to
tx miles and if two German divisions
as was reported last night, are still
IN the salient, it is decidedly improb-
able that they will be able to get
away. Pershing's troops so far have
captured $500 prisoners and sixty
German guns.
The Germans are blowing up am
munition dumps at Hattonville and
Doboux on the west side of the sa-
aent where the country is more dif-
acult and the Germans resistance
was more desperate. The Americans
made an advance of three miles on
a twelve-mile front.

Clearwater is in that city with re-
uuisition for the men. The alleged
wire tappers are fighting return to
Florida for trial and are using every
possible effort to have the governor
of Missouri refuse to honor the re-
uuisition. All necessary papers have
been sent from here and it is believed
that the men will be turned over to
the Florida authorities.
Adolph Franck, who spent last
winter here, swire out the warrants
for the two men and they were To-

traced the men and followed them
several weeks, finally locating them
in Kansas City. He secured their ar
rest on minor charge and then came
to St. Petersburg and secured war

the men took with him requisition
from the governor of Florida for the
return to Florida of the men. He

men will be sent back to this state

n,adgers exceed in the amount
pledged per capita all other counties
in the State, according to a statement
lust issued from the office or the
State director of War Savings at

taken in that county, indicating that
if double in number had pledged at
the same ratio as the first 966 the
county would largely have oversuo-

bv the State director that such gen
