VALUED AS MESSENGER
MORE THAN AS MUSICIAN
Special Order From War Secretary
Relieves A. R. Wooding Of
Military Duty.

That the services of a messenger at
the State Department who is acquaint-
ed with the names and faces of all the
members of the diplomatic corps are
more valuable to the government than
those of bandmaster was evident yes
terday when A. Russell wooding, band
master of the 1st Separate Regiment,
was relieved from duty by special or
der of the Secretary of War
Wooding is a messenger, whose post
of duty is in the hallway at the State
Department just outside of the recep-
ton room where members of the diplo-
matte corps are received when they
call at the State Department for a con-
ference with the Secretary OF some
other high official. Wooding also is one
escort the visiting diplomat into the
reception room and announce his ar
rival at the Office of the Secretary Of
State adjoining.
What the Duty Requires.
This duty necessitates absolute IA
miliarity with the names and faces of
members of the diplomatic corps, not
only the ambassadors and ministers,
but also the embassy and legation sec
retaries and charges
Since the outbreak of the war in
Europe it has been necessary to exer-
else great care in the reception of these
dignitaries. To escort the representa-
tive of one of the allied powers into
the reception room where the repre-
sentative of one of the central powers
was waiting would bring about a sit
uation that would be embarrassing
not only to the diplomats in question
but also to State Department officials
Therefore it has been necessary to
have messengers on duty who know
sentatives and who will see that those
from enemy countries are not escorted
to the same reception room to await
their turn to hold a conference with
the Secretary of State.
When Wooding was required to ac-
company his band to Radio. Va, fol-
lowing the order for mobilization. his
absence was Immediately noted. 1t
was hard to find some one to take his
place. There was no time in which to
break in new man.
Conferences Are Held.
Mr.. Lansings secretary called at the
office of the Secretary of War and ex-
planned the situation. 1t is stated that
even the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of War also got into COM
munication concerning the situation.
The outcome of the negotiations re-
suited in Wooding's being ordered to
report back to his former position yes
terday afternoon. He came to the State
Department in his khaki uniform with
rank as bandmaster. Later it was
learned that a special order from the
Secretary of War had resulted in his
being relieved from militia service

TWO WHITE MEN ARE
ADMITTED TO BAIL

After having been locked up with
out the privilege of bail for the past
week or more, Elijah Williams, jus
tice of the peace from Holley, Fla,
and Will Penton, another Santa Rosa
county man, both have been admitted
bail. Williams, who is charged with
assaulting negro, was given bond
yesterday, while Penton, it is expect
ed, will furnish security for his APP
pearance for preliminary hearing.
Williams one day last week is said
to have used some weapon to protect
himself when a negro named Jim
Beeman, passenger on the boat in
charge of Williams, advanced on him
after the boat had tied up at her dock
in Pensacola During the night, it is
claimed, Williams was arrested for
being intoxicated. After being locked
up it came to the knowledge of the
police that a negro whom he had as
saulted, was in the Pensacola hos
pital, suffering from the blow on his
head, which cracked his skull. Then
the charge was changed to assault,
and on such allegation he was bound
over to the county authorities. Upon
being informed that the negro was
out OF danger, the judge allowed him
che privilege of bail.
Penton is alleged to have inflicted
serious knife wounds on the person of
young white man named Will Ma
poles, who said he was from Georgia,
Mapoles, very seriously injured, was
taken from the train at Century, and
It was recommended that no bond be
allowed Penton. Yesterday informa-
tion came from the physician who
was attending Mapoles chat there was
no further danger in the condition OF
Mapoles, and bond was allowed.

Rt. Rev. Herbert Bury, bishop of the
Anglican church for Northern Eu-
rope, the first and only Englishman
that has been admitted to Germany
during the war, has just returned to
England and given out remarkable
story which has been given promi-
hence in the British newspapers.
Bishop Bury emphasized the courtesy
of the German military authorities,
who were anxious that he should see
the improvements at the Ruhleben
camp for British prisoners at which
the clergyman spent a whole week.
Bishop Bury's visit to Germany also
formed the subject of his sermon be-
fore his crowded congregation.

JAS. {. VAN AUSDAL
EXPIRES IN OHIO

Many friends in this city will be
grieved to learn of the death of
James E. Van Ausdal, which occurred
Wednesday afternoon at Eaton, Ohio,
where he had been on a visit since
last summer.
Mr.. Van Ausdal had suffered from
declining health for two years past,
but not until a month ago was the i'll
ness so serious, at which time his
sons were called to his bedside.
James S. Van Ausdal, Of this city is
now on the way to Eaton, to attend
the funeral, which will occur Satur-
day in that. city. The reason the
Pensacola son was not present when
his father expired was because of in
formation received that the aged
gentleman had shown an improve
ment.
Deceased has been q resident of
Pensacola for the past thirteen years,
coming here from West Alexandria,
Ohio, which place had been his home
since boyhood. He was a member of
the Universalist church of Pensacola,
and also was Knights of Pythias,
holding membership in the West
Alexandria, o., lodge.
Mr.. Van Aucdal leaves four sons
to mourn their loss. They are: H.

much higher than is usual in COM

of civilizing, humanizing and spirit

food, the men practically live upon
their parcels from home. Everything
that goes to the life of the camp IN
the way of materials has been sent
out from England or provided at the
expense of the British government.
81 may add that all letters from
the men may be relied upon as ac-
curate, as practically everyone with
whom | came in contact said they
found it so difficult to persuade re-
latfons at home that they were not
keeping something back. The camp

lutely fair and straight man, in full

Bishop Bury's conclusion was that
