long WAYS from TT Sill to here. We
detrained at Weekanhen. n. j., on

INSTITUTION FOR RELEASED
PRISONERS

The Florida Hope Hall, which is All
institution for released prisoners, is
now reality, says Major L. A. Odom,
who is in Ocala in the interest of the
cause.
The Florida Hope F5all, as the name
would indicate, is a place where hope
and help is extended to men and wo-
men as they emerge from prison ser
yitude. It is located at Hampton,
Bradford county, Florida, and COM
prises 200 acres of land on which
some ten bungalows are being erected
to be used in housing the men emerg'
ing from prison until positions can be
provided for them. Food, lodging,
medical treatment and work is fur
nished at the reservation while the
men are in training at the home.
One Of the paramount features of
Hope Hall is farming and raising
food products, realizing that unless
every attention is turned to produc-
ing food that there will be suffering
without food to satuisfy and destitu-
ton without rainment to supply.
Major Odom is circulating peti-
ton here asking the citizens OF Ocala
to furnish room at this reservation

To Flanders and Picardy there are
still 10 indications that the Germans
are ready TO resume infantry opera

attacks, probably for the purpose OF
fleeing Out" the allied positions in
advance of big attack have been re-
pulsed north Of KENNEL and south
Of Albert.
On the southern battlefield the Ger
mans gained the hill which dominates
the surrounding region tot Field
Marshal Haig reports they were re
pulsed finally.
Almost a week has gone by since
the Germans displayed any marked in
fantry activity and while the attacks
north OF KENNEL and south Of Albert
apparently were not in great
strength, they were made against the
vital sectors Of the two German-driv-
en- salients and where the enemy prob
ably viii launcn his next heavy at
tempt or attempts. 1t is not unlikely
that attacks were made to ascertain
the results OF the German artillery
fire which continues exceedingly VIC
lent along these sectors.
Considerable activity is reported to
be going on behind the German lines
in the region Of Montdidier, where the
Americans mold part OF the allied
lines French batteries have broken
up German troop concentrations and
conveys around Montdidier as well
as near Noyon The artillery fire
along the American zones in Picardy
and northwest cf Toul has been be-
low normal
In the Italian theatre The artillery
firing is more lively, especially in the
Trentino and on the mountain front
from Lake Garda TO the Piaye. ltal-
ian troops on Monte Como have re-
pulsed further Austrian attempts tC
