General March told the military COM

war on the western front, and ex-

Americans under one commander
could go through the German lines
whenever they pleased. Immediate
extension of the draft ages he declar-

Secretary Baker informed the com

present policy called for a concentra-
ton of Americans on the western
front, including Italy, and that tht
theory in regard to the fighting in the
future is that we nuet ferce theissls

Another intensive period for the
sale of war savings stamps has been
determined upon at conference of all
the county chairmen in Florida held
last Monday at Jacksonville. The
drive for the taking of pledges and
making of actual sales of stamps will
continue through Saturday, Septem-
ber Is. The quota assigned to Pinel-
las county has not been raised. In fact,
there is only one county in the state
that has succeeded in raising its quo
ia and that is Dade county. This
county has about $190,42635 and the
war savings organization here is al
ready laying plans to see this county
begin on Monday, September 9, and
discharges its full obligation in this
instance, as it has done in all other
calls made by the government during
these critical times.
a new feature of this campaign will
be the delegation of authority to ev-
cry person in the county to constitute
himself, or herself, into a committee
to spread the propaganda Of thrift
and savings and to encourage every
