JUST A MAN-THAT'S ALL.

He travels along the road of life
With careless smile a merry song
Plucks a rose that grows by the way,
Loves it perhaps for day.
He soon forgets the beautiful rose
And goes in search of another;
Only to cast it aside and forget
With never a thought,a sigh or regret;
For he is only a man-thats all.
Only man-just man; that's ali
And the rose is a womans heart
But what does he care for sweetness
wasted
His thoughts are all for the sweetness
untasted
Her every thought was a thought of
him;
His love was only boyish within
The rose droops and dies;
, But he hears not the signs,
For he is only a man-that's all.
: He goes along the road of life
Till at last he come to the dreary way
! There he finds that no roses bloom

French War Office Admits That
Forces Have Been Withdrawn
From the First Named.
ALLIES FALLING
BACK FURTHER
Germans Continually Throwing
Fresh Divisions Into
Great Battle.
(Associated Press summary }

In their violent attacks on a thirty
five mile battle front, from scissors
TO the region of Northwest of Rheims
the Germans are continuing to force
back the French and British on nearly
every sector.
The fortified town of scissors, on
the extreme left flank of the allied
battle line, has been occupied by the
enemy. although the French are still
holding its western environs, through
which emerge the railway lines lead
ing to Paris and Compiegne.
Seemingly Rheims is also doomed
to fall into enemy hands, as the
French war office reports that troops
have Withdrawn behind the Aisne
canal, northwest of the town.
On a sector directly southeast of
scissors the Germans are now fight
ing relatively twelve miles from where
they started the drive Monday. from
Vauxaillon, while further east near
Loupeigne and in the center, and in
vicinity of Savigny wedges were driv-
en- in approximately fifteen miles.
Germans are continually throwing
fresh divisions into the battle, but
British and French continue tactics
giving ground only when impossible
to longer hold under tremendous
pressure. and infficting heavy casual
ties on the enemy as they retire.
The bringing of scissors into the
battle area may indicate that the
weight of the German blow has been
shifted in this southwesterly direction
and is being exerted along the rail-
way that leads to Paris from that
town. The possibility of the trend Of
the enemy push being turned in this
direction has been forcasted by the
commentators.
The Americans west of Montdidier
have further proved their worth by
resisting another German counter at
tack on the new positions won by the
American troops yesterday when they
drove in to depth of nearly a mile
and captured the village of Cantigny.
The Germans We're repulsed in their
second effort. as in their first and suf-
fered heavy losses.

WAR STAMP DRIVE IN THIS
CITY TO BE FEATURED BY
SUCH AN PRONUNCIATION FOR
WORK HERE.

Chairman Charles B. Hervey of the
city drive for War Saving Stamps, ac-
companied by DR.. J.. NJ. johnson of
Washington, d. C., who spoke here
Tuesday night in the auditorium of
the San Carlos Hotel, as an initiatory
to the campaign, yesterday called up
on number of citizens in regard to
joining the One Thousand Dollar Club,
all members joining securing this
amount of these certificates for sS32
They report success has attended
their efforts and they will continue
organizing this club until sufficient
number have Joined.
One thousand dollars is as much
as anyone can subscribe for person
ally but If they desire to purchase
this amount in these stamps for a
member of the family or any other
party. 1t is permissible.
In joining the various clubs seven
months is the time allotted in which
to pay the amounts subscribed but
the drive will close June %, which
has been designated by President Will
son as War Saving Stamp Day
The city and county organizations
are still in the course of perfection
and within a few days work in the
city and county will be pushed to a
successful conclusion.
DR.. J. NJ. Johnson yesterday defined
the purpose of the movement He
said that the general public has had
the wrong impression concerning the
War Saving Stamps in that the peo-
pie thought IL only meant the small
savings OF a child. mother and father
This he said, is true and even more.
The main purpose, DR.. Johnson
il for any one person, the cash out
lay being 1892 today, was that the
distribution of the certificates might
be general, one person in two hun
dred perhaps. would be the average TO
buy Liberty bonds, whereas we want
one person in twenty to buy one "ba-
by bond each week. one in every two
hundred to buy the limit, $1,000 this
year. We want Escambia County so
we'll represented in this million dol
lar drive for the War Saving Stamp
that it will be hard to find a person
without a baby bond
Continuing Mr.. Johnson stated that
the old saying where your treasure
is-there your heart will be also" is
true in this great war. Therefore ev-
every man. woman and child may con-
slider themselves drafted, drafted to
work and fight until we have COM
plete victory.
Every time you lick War Saw
fng Stamp" said DR.. Johnson, ''you
lick German. Not only so but when
the day OF readiustment ONES the
money saved will be returned with
compound interest.
This is not the time of giving but
a time of saving for ones own house
hold. It is only taking good money
out OF one pocket, buying better
money and putting il in another
pocket. But these securities will help
win the war. Fight with all your
might"

BRILLIANT WORK BY
THE ITALIAN ARMIES.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUART-
ERS, May 29.-(Associated Press)-
One of the most brillian mountain op-
erations since the beginning of the
war was carried out by the Italians
in the Tonele, northwest OF Trent,
early this week, particulars regard
ing which are being received. The
balm this week. particulars regarding
which are being received. The basin
Presina lake were captured by Italian
Alpini after forty hours of fierce
fighting against a numerically super
ior enemy.
The Austrians were well entranch-
ed, having at their disposal strong
Notifications built before the be-
beginning OF the war and greatly
strengthened since then. The great
Presena mountain was reached by
the Alpini after attacking four times
under a heavy fire. The enemy was
finally overwhelmed by a bayonet
drive.
The fight was rendered more diff
cult by the condition OF the ground
which was hard and slippery with
late spring snow. The Italians ad-
vanced up steep ascents, down prec-
ipices and over glaciers.
The brilliant victory OF the Italians
in the Tonale region was won in fight
ing on ground about 10000 feet above
the sea, amid melting SHOWS and ev-
erlasting glaciers. The battle was
remarkable on account of the high
" specialized troops engaged and the
mechanical devices applied.
The vast waste of Tonale mountain.
dominating the Camonica plateau and
the Alps TO Paradise pass, has been
neglected by both sides as a field for
offensive operations, but now becomes
more important. Among the results
of the Italian attacws were the blow
ing up by artillery fire of an import
ant Austrian ammunition depot and
the capture of trow telegraph lines
which rani through Paradise Pass.
