F I N A l. DECISION ON ARMY INCREASE BILL: TO BE REPORTED TO HOUSE NEXT WEEK
tcontinued from Page One,

of the European war the admiral said one ship of the fleet recently had hurled seven out of AZ huge projectiles through a target 20 by 60 feet at range eight to nine miles, or 16.00O to 1S,OOO yards The longest ranges used in naval en- agreements of the European war thus far, he explained, were 16,0OO to 17OOO yards.
 LONG RANGE FIRING Judging from reports from various ships which have been engaged in tar get practice at Guantanamo during the last month, Admiral Fletcher said it was proboble that from 10 to 20 per cent of the shots fired could be landed on battleship at 1S,O00 yards. He de- scribed the increased difficulties of liong range firing, due largely to the I.fack that inherent errors in gunfire and range determination, which do not
 seriously affect results at short dis tances, are greatly magnified as the range goes up.
 At 1S,000 yards, he said, the shots rom eight or 10 guns fired in salvo and trained exactly alike would cover
 space on the sea of 400 to 500 wards on both sides of the target, although
 there was little lateral variation. The object now, he added, was to "straddle' the tarket with these salyos. the chances being that approximately one fourth of the projectiles would land on a ship thus straddled
 To bring out the effectiveness of
 navy shells, Admiral Fletcher told of target work by the Wyoming last year at 12,OO0 yards, in which three shells penetrated 10-inch armor plate. Five out of 36 shots fired, he said, struck the
 small target and from 80 to 90 per cent would have landed on a battleship. The committee will take up tomor- row the bill to authorize officers of the marine corps to accept employment in the Haitian constabulary Colonel Wal Ter, commanding the marines in Haiti told the committee that absolute quiet prevailed there and that a new revolu- tlon could not be organized as the na-
 tives were enjoying peace and security Tor the first time in liz years. They were completely satisfied, he said, and within three years the constabuIary probably could be turned over to na- tive officers and the entire American
 force with the exception of a small legation guard be withdrawn

 FEAR OF THE SIXTH
 Washington accepts without disputation the soft impeachment that Hobson was possessed of an overweening desire to serve again in Congress. seat in the national government would offer. a basis from which to carry his oral message to the people of the furthermost limits of America; and a basis, in consideration of the franking privilege, from which to disseminate into the most remote conn., munities his speech of some years hence on the Great Destroyer" And it is ac- cepted without denial that the anti-saloon forces were anxious again to see on a victorious perch their great champion who two years ago was so ruthlessly tilted into the slough of defeat by Sen ator Underwood.
 But that which Washington cannot un- derstand-but which might be sufficient ly clear to the people of Alabama is why the captain did not venture out on his new wings in his own district and against it's fine representative, w. B. Oliver.
 It has of course been said that the cap tain would be no match for Mr. Oliver; that the people of the Sixth, possessed at last of representative who remains on the job and attends to their wants, would listen no more to the plaintive lute of the hero; that the new Tenth, cut off from Tuscaloosa, Greene and Sumter counties of the old Sixth, which the cap tain never could win, was more allur- ing field.
 But Washington has hesitated to believe that the captain, with whom it is more Or lcS5 familiar, is an opportunist. He has been represented as a man imbued with an uncomfortable spirit of right who rushes out to meet any antagonist, however formidable; as a man absolute ly without fear of opposition or how we'll that opposition might be entrenched And thus Washington Is unwilling to think that Hobson chose the Tenth and w. B. Bankhead rather than the Sixth and w. B. Oliver because of his knowl- edge that in the former he would stand

TO TAKE CENSUS OF.
LUMBER PRODUCTS
SPECIAL no THE IoURNAL

SPECIAL To The IOORNA AL
Washington, Nov. 21.-The census
of the lumber production of the
country for 1916 will be undertaken
by the forest service in cooperation
with the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association. The information
to be obtained by this work, it is
stated, viii be Of immense benefit to
the lumber industry, the forest serv-
ice, and other branches of the gov
eminent.
It is estimated by the forest serv-
ice that there are more than $4,000
saw mills in the country and it is
planned to have the investigation
reach every saw mill in operation.
Each of these will be asked to make
a. detailed report of its production.
Information is sought as to the total
quantity of each kind of wood sawed,
the number of lath and shingles
manufactured and the average mill
value for each species. Printed
schedules designed for. use in differ
ent regions of the country viii SIM
pity the collection of the figures and
make it easy for each mill man to
send in complete report. The work,
it is stated, will be directed by the Of
flee of industrial investigations of the
forest service in Washington, but the
western part of the country will be
covered by the district offices of the
forest service located in Missoula,
Mont; Denver, Colo; Albuquerque
N. NJ; Ogden, Utah; San Francisco
Calf; and Portland, Ore. The Off
GERS in charge of these districts, be-
ing nearer and thoroughly familiar
with the scene of operations, are able
to secure returns and compile results
in less time than if the work were al
handled from Washington.
1t is intended that preliminary
statements showing the production Of
the principal species, such as yellow
pine, Douglas fir, white pine, and oak
and also the production of the lead
ing states, viii be issued as soon as
the figures are available. The i'm
portance of these annual statistics
forest service officials say, is ap-
parently not fully realized by all Of
the saw mill men, since past attempts
to gather similar data show i large
number often fail to reply promptly
or neglect to make any report. A bet
ter response has been received from
the lumber trade in late years, anc
the officials in charge of the worl
believe that with proper cooperation
on the part of the lumbermen, fina
figures showing the total production
can ha announced by June L 1a1z

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Floridatown, Fla, Nov. 21.-The
Floridatown Ferry Pass ferry, which
is an important link in the "Old

Capt. Evans has been navigating
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and
its tributaries for more than twenty
five years and is well known in ship
ping circles. He owns the we'll
equipped ferry boat "Freshwater'
which did excellent service on the
Floridatown Ferry Pass ferry line
after the July storm. This boat
makes the run across the bay between
Floridatown and Ferry Pass in TWEEN
ty minutes and carries eight automo-
biles with ease and safety at one trip.
The new owner has secured the
privilege of wharfage alongside of the
Pace railroad trestle and workmen
are engaged in the work of erecting
a substantial wharf
The splendid graded hard road be-
tween Floridatown and eastern points
and between Ferry Pass and Pensa-

already for turists as well as for To-
