An ice cream social was given on
Friday evening of last week at the
Sand Arroyo school house under the
auspices of the school, the pupils OF
which rendered a program preced-
ing the social. The attendance was
large, the school building not being
able to house all the guests at one
time, and several dollars in money
raised for the starting of domestic
science and manual training depart
ment in the school.
Mrs. c. II. Trotter is the teacher OF
the school and she is exerting every
energy to advance the work to the
best interests of the pupils and COM
munity in general. She hopes to be
able to give considerable training In
the new departments. Another COM
mendable feature on the part OF the
work there is the teaching Of the first
years high school work for the bene-
fit of advanced pupils.

terday morning that prominent citi-

county are willing to work one or
more days each as well as furnish a
team, to haul clay in the construction
of road to Big Lagoon, distance
Of about eight miles, aroused much
enthusiasm during yesterday among
the advocates of a roadway from PEN
sacola to the gulf. That Pensacolians
and visitors can reach the gulf beach
without crossing the bay is the point
that struck home.
It is believed now that the mat
ter has reached this stage that the
roadway Is assured, for wherever the
public becomes united on a propect the
latter is generally put through sue
cessfully.
The question of bridging the Ia
COON at some suitable point is another
matter that is being discussed by the
public and there Is no doubt but that
with the road completed some plan
viii be worked out whereby this can
be accomplished. Owners Of property
along The lagoon said yesterday they
would donate literally for q bridge,
but would not agree to put I'm one
that would cost large amount Of
money. However, they were willing
to give as high as $4,000 towards q
suitable structure, and II citizens Of
Pensacola desired to place a hotel on
the lagoon that a site Of one hun
bred acres with one thousand feet Of
waterfront facing the lagoon would
also be donated.
There has been some talk Of sum
mer and winter hotel with cottages
at the point and If the roadway is
constructed it is the belief that all
of these valuable acquisitions to
Pensacola as a tourist resort will be
secured.

GERMANY AND
AMERICA ARE
IN A DEADLOCK
United States Refuses to
Bring Lusitana Incident
To a Close.
ANOTHER CRISIS
IS APPROACHING
United States Will Await
Result of Declaration to
Sink Merchantmen.
~ ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Feb. 16.--Instead of
announcing a satisfactory agreement
of the Lusitania case as had been ex-
pected, Secretary Lansing declared
today that the submarine controversy
with Germany cannot be closed until
the United States fully considered its
possible effect to the Teutonic pow
ers' declared intention to sink all
armed merchantmen without warn
ing beginning March 1.
Authorities tonight fear the United
States and Germany may find them
selves at the same place they stood
first during the days of the subma-
rine crisis, confronted with series Of
diplomatic exchanges, the result of
which they cannot foresee.
When Won Bernstorff told Lansing
today that it was his personal opinion
that Germany intended to abide by
its promise not to sink unresisting
"liners," made in the Arabic case,
the secretary said such a declaration
from the German government is de-
sired. The ambassador suggested the
possibility Of postponing the date Of
the submarine campaign to give time
for negotiations, but the secretary
would not commit himself.

LATEST DRAFT THE
LUSITANIA CASE HERE

Washington, Feb. 16.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
today presented to Secretary Lansing
the latest draft of the Lusitania
agreement, embodying the changes
suggested by the American govern
ment and also one change suggested
by Berlin. The indications were that
the agreement in its present form
probably would be acceptable to the
United States.
AS now drawn and formally signed
by the German ambassador, agree
ment is in reply to the last American
note.
It begins with reference to the for
NAL assurance given by Germany last
September that submarines would not
sink unresisting liners without warn
ing and regard for the safety of life
aboard, and that the instructions to
submarine commanders were so def
mite as to allow no misunderstand-
ing. 1t then states that the subma-
rine warfare around the British Isles
was a reprisal for what is character
lied as the "inhumane blockade of
Great Britain to starve the central
powers" and promises indemnity for
Americans lost on the Lusitania and
expresses profound regret" for their
deaths.
It says that the German govern
ment recognizing liability" for their
loss, makes the proposals contained in
the draft submitted today, and then
deals with the question of reprisals
against others than enemy subjects.
The change the Berlin office has
made in the wording of the latter pro-
posal has not been publicly disclosed,
but from the optimism prevailing to-
day there was a general impression
that the chances Of its delaying the
negotiations further were slight

preached the settling point so many
