Shreveport.


DR. d. G. Chandler, city health Off
Ger, is busy circulating petitions for a
referendum election at which the V0t-
terS CT Shreveport will determine If
an appropriation Of $4,000 on the part
OF the city is enough to operate the
Shreveport Board Of Health. The
board asked for $4,000 and the city
commission allotted $4,000 in the new
budget which goes into effect January
1, 1917 The city contends that $4,000
is all the money it can afford for the
maintenance of the health board and
the board contends that its demands
are not eXorbitant. AS the city de-
Clined to meet the views Of the health
board the petitions are being circuIat-
ed to compel the commissioners to in
crease the allotment. DR.. Chandler
reports over 200 signatures and less
than a dozen refusals to sign the Pc
tition.
Shreveport automobile owners,
whether individuals or corporations,
will, after January l, have to have
city registration tag for their ma.
chimes, in addition to their state Ii
cense tags, and it will cost them 81 to
get them, according to an ordinance
introduced at a meeting Of the city
council by Commissioner George
Thurber The ordinance does not ap-
ply an extra tax. 1t simply affords
the police department means Of iden.
tifying automobiles, since the secre-
tary OF states office has failed to re-
spond to repeated requests for list
of all automobile licenses issued to
Shreveport owners.

CAN NAVAL FORCES ISSUES
PROCLAMATION.

Washington.-Capt. H. S. Knapp,
commanding the American naval
forces in Dominican waters, has by
proclamation declared a military rule
in the Dominican republic to break
the deadlock in the local government
and carry out the treaty obligations
Of the United States government 10

and other obligations.
Capt. Knapp notified Secretary
Daniels of his action and it was ap'
proved. He said he expected to nave
affairs Strengthened out and reported
conditions quiet and the populace sat
istied with his action. There was no
military clash and no military gov
ernor was appointed, as reported from
Santo Domingo.
Since the election Of the new presf'
dent in Santo Domingo affairs have
been in deadlock because the local
government refused to permit pay
ment of obligations which the United
States has pledged itself to see ful'
filled.
Affairs became 50 involved, 1t was
said here, that Capt. Knapp, acting un'
der the full authority with which ne
has been clothed, decided to clear up
the situation by putting under mill
tary rule temporarily to preserve or
der and carry out the local govern.

ADMIRAL JELLIC0
Is FIRST SEA LORD
SUCCEEDS ADMIRAL SIR HENRY
3. JACKSON AS HEAD OF
BRlTlsHsNAVY.

London.-Rear Admiral Sir John r..
Jellico, commander Of the British
fleet, was appointed first sea lord Of
the admiralty, being succeeded in
command Of the grand feet by Vice
Admiral Sir David Beatty, who com.
manded the British battle squadron
in the Jutland naval battle.
Admiral Sir Henry B Jackson, the
present flrst sea lord has been ap
pointed president OF the Royal Ma IA
College at Greenwich.
The announcement Of the change in
command Of the British grand fleet
was made in the House OF Lords by
A. J.. Balfour. first lord of the ad'
miralty MIR. Balfour said there would
be consequential changes also in the
board Of the admiralty.
On being asked whether the
changes in the admiralty meant other
changes in high commands. Mr. Bal
four replied that undoubtedly there
would be changes which would be an.
nounced In the ordinary course.
In being appointed first sea lord,
Admiral Jellicoe succeeds Admiral Sir
Henry Bradwardine Jackson. who
had held that post at the admiralty
since May, 1915, when he took the
place vacated by Lord Fisher.
The vital changes in the manage
ment of the navy announced will be
greeted enthusiastically by the coun-
try. They were not unexpected, as
recently there has been demand for
an infusion of new life on the board
of the sea lords at Whitehall. The
case as presented by the critics was
that none Of the sea lords had had
active service afioat during this war;
that more than two years OF warfare
had brought about radical changes in
methods, and that the active direction
Of the fleets by the admiralty should
be IN the hands of officers who had
participated in and worked out the
latest style Of operations.
