COMMITTEE MAY
REJECT BRANOE|S

Washington, May IA stormy de-
bate over the nomination of Louis d.
Brandeis for the supreme court broke
in the senate.
Before it was over predictions were
made by two members of the judiciary
committee, one Of them Democrat,
that an unfavorable report on the ap-
pointment will follow when the CON-
mittee reaches vote
Discussion was precipitated when
Senator Sutherland, Republican
member of the committee, read to the
senate an interview published quot
ing Senator Ashurst as charging that
Republican members Of the judiciary
committee are flibustering to delay
vote on the nomination until after
the national political conventions.
Senator Ashurst stood steadfastly
by the quoted statement during the
heated argument that followed until
assured by fellow Democrats on the
committee that there is no such fili-
buster

Garrison Forced TO Capitalize
to Avoid Starvation.

London, April 3O.-Major General
Charles Townshend. commander of
the British forces besieged at kut-
El-Amara, Mesopotamia, by Turkish
forces since last December, has sur
rendered.
This information was contained in
a British official statement.
The official statement added that
General Townshend destroyed all his
guns and munitions before surrender
ing.
General Townshend probably was
driven to surrender to avoid starva-
ton of his force.
Less than score of miles away on
the banks of the Tigris, below the
city, is relief army which for months
had been attempting to reach the be-
sieged forces of General Townshend.
No official figures have been given
out as to the number of troops which
set forth from the Persian gulf in No
vember of 1914 on the expedition
which has now ended in surrender
Unofiicially. the number has been
estimated as high as $4,000, but it was
probably considerably smaller than
this
This force has suffered heavy losses
in severe battles with the Turks.

FRENCH MAKE GAINS
IN INFANTRY ATTACK

London. May 1.-The French and
Germans on several sectors to the
northwest of Verdun have been en-
gagged in relatively heavy infantry
fighting, with the results evidently in
favor Of the French.
To the north Of Dead Mans hill the
French seized a German trench and
captured fifty-three prisoners and to
the north of Cumieres made similar
gain in which thirty prisoners were
taken.
Berlin says that strong French at
lacks from Dead Mans hill to the
northern part of the Caurettes wood
were repulsed.
On the remainder of the French
front. except for small infantry at
lacks, notably in the Vosges noun
tains and in the region of Lassigny.
bcnlbardments alone have been in
progress.

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-08-27

Congress is getting ready to Ad-
journ," says a headline. But has
President Wilson given it permits
sion?
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-08-27
GOOD ROADS.

Said Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
addressing the state representatives at the
conference in Washington regarding the
Federal Aid Road Act:
If as the result of this act the people are in
duced fully to realize the necessity of placing
skillful and experienced men in charge of road
building and road maintenance, a great advance
will have been made and the efforts of those who
labored to secure the legislation will have been
rewarded.
The Secretry's point is we'll taken. 1t is
not so much that the Federal Government
will expend $85, 100000, and that the States
will spend an equal amount on road build
ing that makes this act of such supreme inn
portance-for this sum, great as it is, is
relatively insignificant in comparison with
amounts the states, are now annually ex-
pending and will spend during the period
covered by the Act.
But the important thing is that methods
will be devised whereby we will get dol
lars value for each dollar spent on road
building and maintenance. Under the
supervision of the government, which has
enterprises as the Panama Canal road sys-
TENS will be devised, projects formulated,
and plans developed along scientific and
economical lines. Only qualified men will
be allowed to go on the job, and the dread
full waste which the we'll meaning but in
competent workman is responsible for, will
be thing of the past. Thus while we are
getting new roads, we will be learning how
| to keep the old ones.

LOOKING SOUTHWARK.

1t is not often that a newspaper feels
called upon to boost a rival city in another
state, but the announcement that the Pope
Manufacturing Company is going to estab-
lish plant in Mobile to manufacture cot
ton specialties, has more than local signifi-
canoe.
1t shows the increase of industrial growth
in the South.
With all the textile factories in the North,
the South has for years lost money, buying
back its own cotton, made into fabrics.
More and more, however, the factories
are coming south. The Pope company is
the latest. 1t is capitalized for only $4,000,
true, but it is the first plant of its kind in
the south, and more will follow.
When enterprises don't settle in Pensa-
cola, we are glad 5or them to establish
themselves in Mobile, which, after all, is
very close to Pensacola. The quicker the
entire south builds up, the better for us all.

WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE.

When Congress will adjourn what has
already proved to be one of the longest and
fullest sessions in history, is not yet de-
termined.
Its record to date is one Of which we may
we'll be proud. Among the principal
achievements may be mentioned: child
labor laws; workman's compensation for
federal employees; federal aid for good
roads; federal aid for state agricultural
extension work; farm loan act government
armor plate plant; government nitrate
plant; revising income tax to tax big in
comes higher; inheritance tax; greatest
naval bill in our history; army bill increas-
ing army and providing a more adequate
| defense
The farmer, who is usually ignored has
thus far received the lions share of the
legislation. Much other legislation of
course was enacted, as the river and harbor
bill, militia pay, etc, but enough has been
said to show that never have the needs OF
the American people been more thoroughly
met than by the present congress.
