Drive Heard Here
. Having the hono r of being ths first
speaker in the War Saving Stamp
drive in Pensacola, Dr. J. M. Johnson,
of Washington, D. C last night in the
auditorium of the San Carlos hotel,
spoke to an appreciative audience for
more than an hour upon the great Eu
ropean war and what the people st
home must do for our soldiers who
are now in the struggle and for those
'who are to go. Throughout his talk
Ijt. Johnson illustrated his points upon
h blackboard showing where the mind,
the heart and the will must be put into,
the fight to win the war.
Dr. Johnson emphasized the fact that
wf must raise foods. We must plant

' ter we will not be successful. Pictur
ing this he Bhowed the boy who plant
ed to raise a sweet potato. He pald.no
. more attention to it and the resulj was
a diminutive specimen. The little girl
riarted and cultivated her potato and
it pre w to be a big one.
. Thv speaker then dwelt upon the
raising of hojers and from the two po-trtr-o

up their early success in storming the
Chemin des Dames and forcing the
ATne crossings, it seems probable mat
the former opinion will gain strength
and that a determined following up oi
the enemy effort, in the shape of a
drive for Paris will be looked for.
General Foch's strategy is counted
upon to employ the vast effective forces
at his command so as to counter the
Germans effectively when they have
fully developed their purpose, which
ever way the attack may trend.
EARLY SUMMARY SAYS
GERMANS SUFFERED HEAVILY
Gains by the armies of the German
crown prince on the Alsne front have
been balanced in part by the sangui
nary repulses of further attempts to
push forward southwest of Ypres. In
prepared . second line positions along
the Aisne the Franco-British .forces are
offering strong resistance to the Ger
mans who are pressing on to cross the
river, while in Flanders the French
confidently await renewed enemy at
tacks. Although the Germans attacked
on the southern flank on a front or
thirty-five miles In greater strength, it
is not yet clear what is behind the op
eration. Probably several days will
pass before the situation la defined
clearly. Two possibilities stand out
that the Germans felt It necessary to
widen the elbow about Montdidier or
that it was feared General Foch might
begin a counter offensive toward Loan.
Nor is it unlikely that the attacks on
the extremities of the nearly 200 mile
line are feints for a stupendous move
ment toward Amiens.
In gaining the heights north of the
Aisne and the famous Chemin des
Dames, the Germans suffered most
heavily. The region over which they
have advanced thus far is one of the
most battle-scarred' In France. If the
crown prince hoped to crush the
French and separate them from the
British at Berry au JBac, he failed, as
contact between the allied forces has
been maintained throughout the fight-j
lng. How far the Germans advanced on
the evtreme. ends of the new fighting
front is not defined clearly, but in the
center they reached the region north
of Pont Arcy, on the Aisne, a four-mile
advance.
Alonar the six-mile front from Locre
to Voormezeele. on the Flanders battle-
field, the French hurled the enerr"
back with great losses and still ho-
tenaciously to the positions protecting!
the ridge running westward from Mont
Kemmel. Near Voormezeele. whwn t.h
French have taken over the line from
the British, heavy fighting continues
around DIckebusch lake, where the
Meanwhile there is very Intense artil
iKtt iery, fire from ' north, of the Sommejo
Z5' . the Avre in PIcardy. The Germans
I have made no attacks here except for
'ys strong raids against the allied lines, es
JX'r, , pecially the American sector west of
Montdidier. The Americans threw back
fighting" In which the enemy suffered
severe losses and prisoners were taken
by the Americans. ;
ern France is coincident with the suc
cessful Italian thrust against the Aus-tro-Hungarlan
positions in the moun
tains of the Western Trentino. In ad
dition to gaining important height po
sitions, the Italians captured nearly 900
prisoners and much war material. Ai
trian attacks south of Asiago have been
repulsed by the Italians. Elsewhere on
the front from St. Elvio to the Adriatic
there has been little activity.

SITUATION IS
REASSURING ON
LATEST ADVICES
ENEMY .ATTACKED -VICIOUSLY,
BUT AT STRONGEST POINT IN
GERMAN .MOMENTUM . GIVES
EVIDENT SIGNS SLACKENING
PARIS, May 28. The situation is
more reassuring. Latest advices
from the front 6how that, while
the violence of the enemy's effort
Is yet unabated, he is only making
headway on the center, and even
there the German momentum is
giving signs of slackening. The
allies are beglnnlg to react with
effect on the wings.
FIRST DAY OF OFFENSIVE
CONSIDERED SATISFACTORY
PARIS, May 28. The results of the
first day of the long expected German
offensive are considered in competent
French quarters as satisfactory. By
paying the price, It is contended, it was
inevitable that the enemy should gain
ground. After the terrific struggle
throughout yesterday the Germans at
a ruinous cost advanced at the farthest
point three and a half mile's.
Military officials say the enemy has
won enough ground to bury his dead
and that Is all. At no point has the
entente line been pierced. In close con
tact with the foe, it Ras moved back
step by step according to schedule, giv
ing General Foch all the time he needs
to place his reserves those reserves
whose whereabouts is an anxious mys-i
tery to the Germans just where he
wants them.
Military opinion is divided
as
whether the German drive on the Aisne
front Is an effort to break through at
Soissons and make a dash for Paris by
way of Villers-Cotterets, o'r whether it
is a maneurre preliminary- to and for
the purpose "of concealing the even
tual main attack neralnst Ameins.
