STRONG CANDIDATE

Hon. ]. Fl. Smithwick, who has CON
Quoted such an unusual campaign in
his race for congress, returned to
Pensacola last night, after a speech
making tour Of two weeks. The news

in their praise of Mr.. Smithwick and
his speeches, and the reports both

dates in the congressional race with
a substantial plurality, and some
think he will get a majority.

county by a safe plurality, and Santa
Rosa, according to the editor of the
Milton Gazette, viii give Smithwick

Lansing Scores
The Critics of
Administration

Watertown, N. Y, June 3.-Secre-
tary Lansing before the Jefferson
County Bar association here tonight
scored the critics of the administra-
TONS foreign policy. He said that
neutral rights violated ny loss of life
is far more serious than neutral rights
violated by loss of property.
He declared that there is an infu-
ence in America and even in congress
which puts the right of property and
the right of life on a par. This shows,
he said, that the great heart of the
republic is threatened with fatty de-
generacy through those who have
lost their patriot vigor.

KAISER THANKFUL
To SEAMAN FOR
WORK IN BATTLE
EMPEROR TELLS THEM THEIR
ACTION HAS DESTROYED
RRITAlN's SUPREMACY.

Berlin, June I'm the account of
the emperor's speech to the sailors OF
the fleet at, Wilhelmshaven yesterday,
which was published here today the
emperor Is quoted as saying that the
great naval battle of Jutland has de.
stroyed Great Britain's supremacy on
the sea.
In praising the sailors the emperor
said:
II, standing here today as your SUI
preme war lord, thank you from the
bottom of my heart. AS the represen-
tative of the fatherland I thank you
and in the name Of my army bring
you its greetings because you have
done your duty unse1fish1y and only
with the one thought that the enemy
must be beaten.
AT time when the enemy Is slow
ly being crushed before Verdun and
when our allies have driven the Ital-
ians from mountain to mountain you
add new glories to our cause. The
world was prepared for everything but
not for the victory OF the German fleet
over the English. The start which
you have made will cause fear to creep
into the bones of the enemy. What
you have done you did for the father
land, that In the future it may have
freedom Of the seas for it's commerce.
Therefore, ask you to Join me in
three cheers for our dearly beloved
fatherland."

DISLIKES COLLEGE
AS TRAINING PLACE

New York, June 1.-THE college is
not intended as place to teach mill
tary training and the modern curricu-
lum does not provide room enough for
suoh instruction In a way which would
count in q crisis, Henry s. Pr1tchett,
president of the Carnegie foundation
for the advancement Of teaching, de-
clared today at the New York univer-
sity commencement exercises.
Mr.. Pritchett said further that the
contribution of the land grant col.
leses to the preparations of a reserve
OF citizen soldiery was practically neg
ligible." He ridiculed "the assump.
tion OF our Legislators that military
training could be made byproduct
Of a college course" and declared that
many of the land grant colleges, made
possible by the Morrill, act of 1862.
continue the required military train
ing only ITO obtain the constitutional
grant"
He said others give "only the mini
mum drill" and that "the individual
student in many cases seeks to escape
his military duties with as scant per-
Torrance as possible" Under this
act. he said, 20,0S6 students received
training last year, making total to-
day of more than 100000 men between
the ages Of 19 and 30 years trained IN
this manner.

respondent Of The Associated Press
that he had no present intention of
engaging in an offensive campaign

'If the Greek government. he said,
"can stand the Anglo-French forces on

The correspondent, who was per-
mitted by Gen. Jekoff to make a tour
Of the Bulgar-German front, found the
Bulgarian troops we'll equipped and in
fine physical condition. Attached to
the various divisional stats we're Ger
man officers. Maj. Gen. Todoroff, COM
mander of the second Bulgarian army,
has six German officers In his service;
Gen. Zlatareff, second division, has
three, and Gen. Guechoff, eleventh
division, has two.
These officers have no voice in
tactical or administrative matters.
Their duties are entirely confined to
instructing the Bulgarians in trench
building and other technical details
OF modern warfare AS far as the
observation Of the correspondent went,
the relation between the German and
officers seemed to be
cordial

cumstances would Col. Roosevelt sup
port Justice Hughes II he were NOM
mated by the republican convention.

republican nominee brought forth the
statement from the Hughes men.
Gov. Whitman, leader Of the Hughes
faction Of the New York delegates,
smiled when he was told Of the re-
ported statement.
II don't consider that bad news, do
your he said. II have thought all
along that Justice Hughes would be
nominated and elected, and l still
think SO. We have, I understand,

Tho governor said he knew nothing
of reports that the justice would de-
cline to run If third ticket was put
