WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. S. Secretary Daniels of the navy depart ment, is planning greater navy than any the world has ever seen and if his plans are carried to fruition, every nation in North, Central and South America will have but one flag on the sea and that will be the Stars and Stripes.
 President Wilson and Secretary Daniels are considering and planning for a continuation of the administra- tion's warship building policy, the number of vessels for which congress at it's next session will be asked to make appropriations, and the estimat- ed cost of the warships. It is stated that the President will ask the senate to confer and advise with him as to the Naval program.
 Secretary Daniels has figured that forty-eight new and modern warships must be added to the navy in order to place the United States on foot ing where she can command the re- spect of the European nations and prevent their seizing the Panama ca nal or violating the Monroe doctrine in Central and South America.
 The secretary has under contem- plation plan to organize Pan American league, which would in- clude all the principal nations of Gen. tral and South America, each of whom will build a number of war ships or help the United States bear the added burden of the great navy which would afford protection to all from encroachment by European na- tions.
 The South American countries fear the result of the European war to the British colonies in the Americas should the Teutons eventually win ill the great struggle which is now being waged to the death. Should Ger many win she will undoubtedly at tempt to take possession of the Brit

having reduced the writing Of novels

himself to an output of 80 many words

One wall Of his library was devoted
to rows Of little cupboards or bins,
each with a separate glass door and
filed with cigars stacked across and

Many Of the physical features OF

large parts of che Dakotas. Minnesota
and Iowa and extended thence into
eastern Nebraska. where II was PROB
ably several hundred feet thick. THIS
first stage of giaciation was brouent
to close by the melting OF the ice IN
a warmer interglacial time or stage

A remarkable assemblage OF animals
invaded the region after the ice had
disappeared. and the bones and teeth
of many of these animals have been
found in the Aftonian deposits OF

TO CONTEST LEGALITY OF CALL
FOR PRO ELECTION

Pensacola, Sept. 21-It was learn
ed Saturday afternoon from what is
considered an authoritative source
that the liquor interests of the city
have determined to test the validity
of the call for local option election
in October as recently issued by the
board of county commissioners. The
papers have all been drawn and
await only the signature of the men
whose names are to be used in the
court proceedings.
II was intimated late in the after
noon that the proceedings would be
instituted in the court of record,
provided, Of course the names of the
parties who are expected to appear
in the suit can be secured. Tho
Observation-Disclosures claim that the
call for the election was illegal and
that the commissioners and super
visor of registration exceeded their
authority. They allege that hundreds
OF names were stricken from tho
registration books, not with the
view of revising the books, but only
to bring down the total number ot
registered voters to point where
the petitions of the prohibition
league would be within the twenty.
live per cent requirement.
The document prepared for film
in the counts is long one and re.
cites various allegations and alleged
irregularities in connecting with the
call for the election.
The travelling representative OF
one of the foreign liquor houses, who
apparently is much interested in tht
/ outcome of the election, charged
that many of the cards requesting
the election were forgeries and that
there were also many duplicate:
