SUPREME COURT DECIDING
PENSACOLA CASE WILL
SETTLE DISPUTED POINTS
Federal Jurists Soon to Pass
On the Virgins Case
From Pensacola
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 9.-As a result
of consideration today by the supreme
court of the five-year litigation over
the collection of life insurance car
ried by Gilbey L. Virgins, of Pensa-
cola, who died in 1910, the court is
expected to announce decision de-
terminative Of several disputed points
in insurance matters.
One of the grounds on which the
insurance company concerned declined
to pay the $4,000 insurance was that
knowledge of the. physical condition
of Virgins possessed by certain med.
ical examiners could not be imputed
to it, and the case is expected to set
tie what constitutes an agent of an
insurance company, under Florida
statutes at least.

Berlin, Dec. Eff our enemies
make peace proposals compatible
with Germany's dignity and safety,
then we shall always be ready to dis
cuss them," said the Imperial Chan
cellor, DIR. Won Bethmann- Hollweg,
in addressing the reichstag today.
The chancellor made it clear that
in his opinion it would be folly for
Germany to propose peace, "as long
as in the countries of our enemies the
guilt and i6hoy{snce of statesmen are
entangled with c0rfusion u pubs
opinion"
''The war can be terminated only
with a peace which win give the certi-
tude that war will not return" the
chancellor declared.
Eve all agree about that"
He asserted Germany's food sup
plies were sufficient and that her inn
mense stores of copper were adequate
for many years.
Conscious of her military successes,
the chancellor said, Germany declines
responsibility for a further continue
ton Of the war. Germany, he de-
clared, could not be charged with the
purpose of fighting on to make fur
Their conquests.
After Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg had made his reply to the
Socialist Interpolation regarding
peace today, the other parties made a
Joint declaration approving the chan
cellor's utterances and endorsing the
view that in the conditions Of peace
made after the war there must be
guarantees for Germany's safety,
even if this implies annexation Of
territory.
OPPOSED TO SLICING.
Herr Landsberg, a Socialist mem
Der, made a protest against French
and British Misrepresentation of the
situation. He added, amid applause:
| Every German, of every class, be-
| ginning with the working man, is re-
solved that whoever dares attempt to
cut even the smallest slice from the
German empire, will meet with gen
Ieral German resistance until it Ii
taken out of his hands"
| Herr Landsberg declared that hi
and his party were violently opposed
to any French intention to annex AL
SAGE and Lorraine. He stated thai
DR.. Karl Liebknecht, whose questions
in previous sessions regarding peace
have aroused much discussion, wa.
in no way authorized to speak for ths
Socialist party or the German nation
Several times during the chancellor,
speech, DIR. Liebknecht attempted +,
interrupt him. DIR. Liebknecht made
motion to hold a session Of tn,
reichstag tomorrow, but his motion
was voted down unanimously.
All parts Of the chamber wer,
crowded at today's session. Member
Of the diplomatic corps, including thu
American ambassador, James w. &c
rard, were present.
NO WAR OF ANNIHILATION.
AT present they speak of a war o

the San Carlos hotel. A goodly num-
Der was present and shortly after the
meeting was called to order by Presi-.
dent Calhoun there was a general
stir throughout the auditorium and
several delegates at once threw con-
siderable ginger into the proceedings.
T. j. Appleyard of Tallahassee se-
cured the floor and addressed the con-
vention regarding the report of the
committee appointed as to the time Of
holding future meetings. He stated
that the committee had, after consid-
cradle discussion of the subject, de-
cided to change the date for holding
the annual meetings from December
to November. The quarterly meet
ings are to be held three, six and nine
months after the annual meetings.
These minor changes he said had been

J. P. C1arkson next addressed the
convention in regard to the plans for
the Mobile trip. He also called to the
attention of the meeting the fact that
the Central Florida Highway Asso-
citation, one of the strongest good
roads organizations in the south, was
at that time in session at Gainesville.

BERLIN, June 29.-The United States has adopted the practice of noti- flying the German admiralty the time of departure of every passenger vessel flying the American flag when leaving the ports of the United Staes en route to Europe and also the approximate hour during which such vessels will pass through the war zone around the British Isles. The American notifica- tion is transmitted to the naval bureau through Ambassador Gerard. By this practice much of the danger of en-
 countering the submarines is obviated and also the possibility of mistakes in identity are greatly overcome. It is not known whether this arrangement is at the solicitation of the German gov ernment although it undoubtedly re- ceives the approval of the council.
