persons were killed and 169 in
jured in last nights air raid, it is
announced officially.
About Is German airplanes, of
which four or five reached Lon
don, took part in the first Of two
raids last night, it is announced
officially Only one of the raiders
engaged in the second attack pen
etrated as far as the city.
One of the raiding aircraft was
brought down, falling in flames
from great height. All the three
occupants were burned to death.
Another was brought down in a
fight with a British airman over
the sea. All the British airmen
returned safely.
Italy has furnished military
surprise by launching an attack
of apparently considerable force
on her mountain front in midwin-
ter. The blow was on the Asiago
plateau where the Austro-G German
invaders were halted early in the
winter in their effort to push down
to the Italian plains west of the
Brenta river.
Berlin heralded the attack yes
terday in reporting the breaking
out of a violent artillery duel in
the Setti-C -Communi region-the
Asiago sector. It's force was re-
ported to have reached a climax
at dawn on Monday in the vicinity
of Col del Rosso, which height
stands about midway between
Asiago and the Brenta.
The supplementary German Of
fetal report announces the open
ing Of the assault in this region,
describing it as violent attack.
There were no accompanying de-
tails.

Fortunate Florida

More and more the war is be-
ginning to pinch the people of the
United States. The latest and by
far the most acute reflection of the
war is the fuel crisis which has re-
suited in a drastic order for con-
servation of the coal supply. Here
in Florida we will suffer very lit
tie Inconvenience or discomfort
from this order, or from the fuel
situation in general. Throughout
the North, however, there has been
much suffering, especially in the
homes of the poor. This winter
has been an exceptionally severe
one and even in normal times
would have been attended by
great distress among the poor.
People of all classes, however, are
now subject to war conditions and
the wealthy have been forced to
sacrifice much of their customary
luxury. 1t may be said, however,
that they are making the sacrifice
cheerfully and are cooperating
with the administration to the linn
it of their ability,
Here in Florida we are fortu-
nately located. Although the win
ter has been correspondingly Sc
we're here, the contrast between
this and the Northern States is
great. In the first place, we have
been subjected to only an uncom-
Portable degree of cold, while in
the North the suffering has been
intense, carrying with it the men
ace of death. Lack of fuel there
is a tragedy but the masses of the
people have been forced to con-
tent themselves with meagre heat
ing facilities. Oil stoves have
very largely replaced steam heat
ng in below zero belts. Here in
Florida we have abundance of
fuel and no intense cold. We have
not suffered from the cold, al
though we may have experienced |
D little discomfort.
The recent order Of the fuel ad-
may close our theatres
one day week and may suspend
operations in a few industrial
plants that depend on coal fuel,
)ut we should cheerfully submit
o the trivial sacrifice, if sacrifice
t can be termed.-St. Augustine
Record.

The County Guards

This is an organization which,
in our opinion, the public is taking
altogether too small an interest in.
Several hundred busy men in this
county take the time from their
business affairs to go out and drill
so as to prepare themselves for
emergencies that may arise-such
as confronted the city of Tampa
this week-when the public may
stand in need of a strong arm to
insure it's safety and enforce law
and order. We are sure these men
do not seek this strenuous work as
pleasant pastime, but because
they feel that their services may
be needed. We are also sure that
they would make the sacrifice nec-
essary to maintain a home guard
more willingly if they felt that
their efforts were duly appreci-
ated.
The aviation training camps To-
Gated near this city make the
necessity for an organization of
this kind much more urgent. Ar
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-01-31

cadia, in fact, is becoming one of
Florida's foremost cities, and peo-
pie of all kinds are floating in up
on us. These people are not all
going to be desirable citizens. 1t
may be that some are among us al
ready for no good purpose. There
are good reasons to believe that
the "Kaiserites" already are in
our midst, and may need the atten-
ton of the strong armed squad.
Let neither the Kaiserites nor any
other pestilence find us unprepar-
ed to cope with them in the proper
manner.
The Guards deserve the hearty
moral, physical and financial back
ing of the people of this county.
They should have it--unstintedly
and unreservedly.-Arcadia En-
terprise.
