REPORTED CENTRAL OF GEORGIA BY
EXTENSIONS WILL GET CONNECTION
WITH BAGDAD AND LUMBER PLANTS
Will Build Line to Munson,
Fla, and There Connect
With Stearns-Culver Co.

That the Central of Georgia is plan
ming to extend its line to Munson,
Fla. there connecting with the Ium-
Der road of the Stearns & Culver
Lumber Co., thus giving it an outlet
at Bagdad, is the report in circulation
at Andalusia. It seems fairly well
known that the Central of Georgla
and several Of the large mill plants
of Florida are interested in some rail-
road extension. That the Central has
long desired to reach Bagdad has been
known. The lumber road of the
Stearns & Culver Co. is one of the
best in the South and Central trains
would find an excellent roadbed. Re
garding the railroad situation the An
dalusia Star Of the past week says:
START CONSTRUCTION.
In less than a month, active con-
struction work viii have been com
menced on the railway connecting
Andalusia with Munson, Fla.
At Munson, Fla, railway is now
operating to Bagdad, on the bay.
The Star is unable to say who is
backing the proposition, although the
chief engineer Of the Central and the
industrial agent of the same COM
pany were at Andalusia last week
and went over the proposed right-of-
way with the heads of several mill
companies.
There is much secrecy about the
whole movement. No one seems In
clined to talk.
ane thing stands out prominently
the Central officials were in consulta-
ton with Empire mill and Falco mill
owners, and these two mills own 3
large tract of timber, adjoining the
big holdings of the Munson company
1t is also known that the Munson
company owns several smaller tracts
of timber scattered about in the hold
ings of the Falco and Empire mil
companies, which could easily bs
traded to these companies.
It is known that the Central of.
ficials went to Munson and held z
consultation with officials of that mil
and also inspected their thirty-fyt
miles of railway leading down to tn,
bay.
The Falco mill, which has beer
closed down for long time, has beer
re-opened and is making arrange
ments to build a switch to the pro
posed new railroad.
It is known that the Falco and En-
pire mill company directors held
meeting this week, and are making

Postofices inspector In search OF
clues that might lead to the where
abouts of S. E. Clark, postmaster at
Florala, Alao passed through the city
yesterday. The, postmaster is said ia !,
be short an amount in excess Of
$4,000, while he is supposed to also
have in his possession complete
book of money order blanks and the
postmaster stamp, which would en-
able him to issue money orders in any
amount he might desire. Mrs. Clark,
her children and Grady Miller, one
of the letter carriers, also are miss
ing and are supposed to be with
Clark.
The postmaster left Florala about
a month ago. He announced he in
tended taking vacation Of about q
month in order to visit the exposition
at San Francisco Mrs. Clark and
children are supposed to have joined
turn within the time he stated when
he left and about that time irregu-
larities began to crop out in the cash
and accounts of the postmaster, with
the result that postoffice inspectors
were sent by the department to check
up the Office and are said to have dis
covered a shortage Of over $4,000. If
Clark issues any money orders and
succeeds in getting them cashed il
will swell this amount considerably.
It is understood that Clark, on his
way to California, stopped at Pen-
sacola and drew large sum Of money
from one Of che local banks. He did
not remain in this city for any length
of time, but is supposed to have pro-
ceeded to New Orleans and there
boarded a steamer for British Hon-
duras or one of the South Americans
republics.

"Quite a number Of local people
hold accounts against CLARK. The

MORE PAY PoR MARINE BAND

The United States Marine Band is
an institution in Washington. Its
fame has spread beyond the borders
of this country, and is known
throughout America, for few visit
ors to the National Capital fail to
attend its summer concerts in the
open air, or it's winter concerts at
the Marine Barracks.
Increase of pay for the members
of this band is necessary if it is to
maintain it's high musical standards.
In his annual report Maj. Gen.
George Barnett, commandant of the
Marine Corps, tells why. Formerly
the bands members were permitted
to supplement their meager Govern
ment pay by playing at private func-
tions. But the unions have protest
ed successfully against this prac-
tice, and now it is hard to get mu-
sicians of merit to enlist in the or,
ganization.
The fact that the band is made up
of enlisted men has given it an ad-
vantage in the rendition of the sort
of music other bands seldom at
tempt. Rehearsals may be had daily,
while members of private bands
must be paid for rehearsals, and the
rehearsals, accordingly, are not SO
frequent. Out of the Marine Band
have come such musicians as Sousa
Pryor, Herbert, and others of note
Congress will earn the gratitude Of
Washington, as we'll as of the nation
by doing its share in helping the
band to maintain its best traditions.

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS"

Washington as a national bureau
of information is described in a cur
rent issue of the Survey Magazine.
Many of the facts described therein,
concerning the valuable information
to be had for the asking, or for the
payment of nominal sum, through
the Agricultural or Interior Depart.
ments, through the Bureau of Edu-
cation, the Children's Bureau, and
through other departments and
bureaus, are familiar to those who
live in Washington. But they need
to be given all possible publicity be-
yond Washington's borders.
One phase of the situation should
be impressed more fully upon ma
tional organizations W hose main oh
ject is the spreading Of propaganda,
or the dissemination Of Information.
That is, that Washington, by virtue
of gaining this reputation as a ma
tional question bureau, has drawn to
itself some Of the foremost organ
izations of an informative character
in this country.
Here are the headquarters OF
such influential bodies as the Ma
tional Geographic Society, 7hc
American Civic Association, the
Carnegie Institution, the Volta
Bureau, the American Institute o.
Architects, the American Peace So
ciety, the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States, and many other
similar bodies. Washington is
being recognized as the appropriate
place for national headquarters"
and the civic and trade organizG-
tions of Washington do we'll to en-
phasize this point.
The Washington times., 1915-12-27

following that, drive his commerce
of the Seven Seas exactly as the
British have done with Germany.
That is all we need, but il is the very
least that we should have.
Either we want a navy for exactly
that sort of life and death work, IL
or whenever we must face it, or we
don't want any navy at all. We
don't need a navy merely to beat up
Mexico or Haiti or some other half
civilized patch on the Western
Hemisphere. We need and must have,
and, if not from the Democratic
control of our Government, then
from some other, we shall have a
navy that can hold us safe from
wantOn attack-this paper will not
mince the worldly Germany.

of eighteen each year is urged in rcso
lutions adopted by the Army League OF
the United States. of which Robert
Shaw oliver, of washington, is presi-
dent
The enrolment of young men OF
eighteen will give the army a list OF
996, 900 men to draw from, based on CEN
sus returns of 1910. Out of this number.
167 900 each year will be urged to volun-
teer for, military training. II this full
number does not volunteer. the leEis-'
lation urged by the Army League would
empower the Secretary OF War to fill
the required quota by conscription.
Members Of the organized militia would
be exempt - -- ...
In a statement ACCOMPANYING the res
olutions. General oliver said:
"A careful study of expert opinion
would appear to require, for the de-
tense Of our overseas possessions, a
regular army of at least $4,000 men
Such a force, when divided between the

in a number OF division districts. Every
branch Of the mobile army constituting
division would be included in each
of these units. About 700 regulars would
be included in each district. A COM
plete division would be built up in
three years by enlisting each year
about 1000 young men is years old in
each district Twenty-Five districts would

There would always be $4,000 of the

of 167. 900 men each year. with the colors
and in the schools. These men should
receive army pay for that number the
first year, two weeks the second and
third years. or thirteen months in all.
"It is hoped that a sufficient number
would volunteer for active service, but.
falling that. the quota required would
be- filled from the enrolled list in each
| district.
The legislation required is entirely
within the constitutional power of Con-
| gress.
"The census of 1910 showed there were
| 996, 900 men of IS in the United States.
so that II seems reasonable to believe
that only comparatively few would have
to be- drawn for compulsory military
