OF NEUTRALITY

Secretary Of State Bryan Trying
To Keep the Peace In Far
East.

Washington, d. C.-Observation of
strict neutrality by the United States
in the European war. especially as to
the movement of foreign ships In
American waters, is giving the Wash
ington Government most concern.
Special instructions were Issued by
the Department of Commerce which
may have an important effect on the
movement of reservists from the
United States. What amounts to
military expedition from American soil
will in each case be prohibited in ac-
cordance with President Wilson's neu-
trality proclamation. State, Treasury
and Commerce Department officials are
absorbed in deciding the numerous
technicalities which have arisen in
connection with foreign-owned ships.

Instructions to aid the customs au-

"If her passengers are nearly all men
and practically all of same nationality,
clearance cannot be granted. 1t must
be unquestionable that she has no
arms or munitions of war aboard.
Have representatives of each foreign
vessel in your port certify to this de-
partment whether she is merchant
vessel intended solely for the carriage
of passengers and freight, excluding
munitions of war or whether she is a
part of the armed forces Of her nation.
This information is for the purpose

United States under recent proclama-

The beginning of the end came at
10 o'clock in the morning, when DR..
E. P. Davis, of Philadelphia, who had
been called for consultation realized
that the time for hope had passed. He
took the President into the Red Room
of the White House and there in a
broken voice told him the truth. Mr..
Wilson's face blanched, but he bore
the shock well. He was informed that
the end was only question of hours.
Mr.. Wilson then took his daughters,
Mrs. w. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and
Miss Margaret Wilson aside and told
them of their mothers condition. Until
then they had thought there was a
chance for her recovery.
From that time on the President and
his daughters remained constantly at
Mrs. Wilson's bedside. The President
held his wife's hand, and the three
daughters were grouped nearby. Until
she became unconscious Mrs Wilson
frequently nodded to one or the other
and smiled cheerfully

1t was the same touch of devotion
which she had so many times repeated
her constant anxiety having been
that the President might not worry
about her or be disturbed in his official
tasks.

REBELS ADVANCE TO
TAKE GUADALAJARA

On board U. s. S. California, Mazat-
Ian, Mexico, May 22.-With the con-
stitutionalist forces of the Division of
the Northwest closing in rapidly on
Guadalajara, and a flying squadron
of cavalry preceding the main body Of
the amy with instructions to destroy
all rail communication between the
point of attack and Manzanillo, the
exodus of foreigners from Guadal2-
jara to the Pacific coast is on in
earnest.
Many of the Americans have left
the interior already, but today all ma
tionalities are in flight to Manzanillo,
their object being to take advantage
of an opportunity for escape, which
may end abruptly at any time.
The constitutionalists at Mazatlan,
finding little salvage in the wreck of
the federal gunboat Morelos, which
was abandoned under a raking fire
from the enemy after it had been
beached, dynamited the hulk today,
and the late Huerta warship is now
only mass of junk.
The wireless difficulties with which
the American fleet here has been
confronted will be obviated consider
ably, it is expected, by the compile
tion today of the installation of q
powerful new radio set on the cruiser
West Virginia.
1t is the purpose of Admiral Doyle
to maintain wireless communication
between the west coast of Mexico and
Point Iona, near San Diego. where
there is high power radio station.
The work on the West Virginia's new
apparatus has been rushed, the men
working night and day. 1t was COM
pleted at, daylight, and the operator
was able to talk" with Point Iona

THE SUCCULENT OYSTER
MADE APALACH FAMOUS

and heavy shipments are made to all
sections. Most of the canned oys-
tiers go to inland cities, although
quantities of them are sent to the
Pacific coast. There is constant de-
mand for this product, and 1t is in
creasing steadily Notwithstanding the
fact that quantities of the refrigerated
product are now to be had almost
everywhere. The "Apalachee", Pearl
or Alligator brand of canned oys-
tiers are staple articles In nearly all
the stores throughout the south
through the farming regions of the
central west and in the mining camps
of the western mountains. The great
est care is used in the canning Of the
product and the cannerIes of Apala-
chicola are noted for their cleanliness.
Sanitary cans are the rule and the
weight of the different containers in
solid meat is plainly printed on the
labels. The greater part of the prod
ounces of oysters-possibly 20 to 30;
a small portion of the pack is in four
ounce cans for the cheaper trade.
Shells 5y-Product.
One result of the extensive can
ming operations is immense quantities
of shells and, for long time, Apala-
chicola was rather hard put TO use
the surplus. Nowadays, however, the
oyster shells are used in the building
of hard roads and the city of Apala-
chicola has miles of the finest streets
in the state constructed of oyster
shells. Large quantities are disposed
of to other cities and even now the
city of st. Andrews, on st. Andrews
bay is building five or six miles of
streets with oyster shells from Apa-
lachicola- There is some talk in the
city of erecting a large mill for crush
ing the shells for the use OF poultry
men, and it is considered highly pos

the fact remains that Apaiachicola
is the greatest oyster canning cen

establishments in the city of Apalachi-
cola and number of smaller ones,
and these concerns pack 10000 cases
of "a cans each during the oyster sea-
son, from September until April Is.
In addition to the cannin~ industry
there are a number of houses engaged
in the business of supplying the raw
trade, and these concerns shipped,
during the past season, 107 900 gallons
OF raw oysters in cans. In addition
TO this. eighty thousand barrels are
shipped annually in the shell. There
are upwards of 125 boats engaged in
taking the oysters on the reef, en-

more find employment in the Gamer

ACT TO REGULATE
BUILDING OF DAMS

Washington May 2.--The house in
terstate commerce committee it was
announced today, has decided to make
a favorable report on the bill intro
,duced by Representative Adamson Of
Georgia, amending the act regulating
the construction of dams across navi-
gable waters. The measure now gives
authority to the secretary Of war 20
accommodate communities and derive
some revenue for the government from
projects constructed wholly at the ex
pense of the government by leasing
on satisfactory terms, with proper
safeguards, the surplus water not
needed for navigation at such projects
There is also included a provision
permitting the use of public lands for
dam projects on terms to be prescribed
by the secretary Of war where the pro
posed structure is to be in a navigable
stream.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-05-03

practically all the, boats that engage in
the oyster trade during the winter
months are at work in the fisheries.
Thousands of pounds of red snapper,
mackerel, trout, reddish and other
species of fish are annually shipped
fresh from Apalachicola to the interior
cities and immense quantities are
sailed down for later shipment. The
shrimp business is on the increase and
it is probable that some of the can
neries will go into the shrimp pack
ing business before a great while.
Both the oyster and fish business
of Apalachicola is increasing. particu-
Iarly since the Inauguration Of ser
vice by the Apalachicola Northern r.
r., and it is believed that the business
of next year will be greater than at
any period in the ctty's history.
