Austria Calls
A tte71tiO11 To
Armed Vessel

Washington, Jan. 26.-Baron Erich
Zwiedinek, charge of the Austrian
Hungarian embassy today asked the
state deparement what the United
States intended to do in the case of
the Italian steamer Verona which ar
rived In New York several days ago
with two guns mounted at her stern.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed
1t was said, for Baron Zwiedinek to
receive instructions from his govern
ment as to the course to be taken
in the case of the Verona Indica-
tions however, are that the Austrian
government may enter a protest ano
notify the United States that any
merchant vessels permitted TO said
with guns aboard, even if intended
for defense only viii be considered as
hostile craft subject to being sunk
without warning.

Story of c. of G. Extension
is Revived by Their
Presence.
BOTH SIDES OF BAY

Presumed Information is
Gathered by Central of
Georgia Officials.
SPECIAL 70 THE JOURNAL

Floridatown, Jan. 2S.-Much rail-
road talk has been INDUCED in here
during the past several days, owing
to the presence through here recently
of several railroad officials, whose
names have not been given to the
public.
These officials have scanned this
section on both sides OF the bay and
have figured a great deal while view
ing the country. 1t is now almost an
assured fact that the Central of Geor-
gia extension, already in operation
between Bagdad and the Alabama
state line south Of AndaIusia, viii be
extended shortly from Milton via
Floridatown and Ferry Pass to Pen
sacola. This extension would give
the Central a direct line from Birfn-
ingham via Columbus, Ca, Andalusia
and Milton to Pensacola, while the
same system also has a splendid line
out Of Georgia via Dothan to Florala,
which line could easily be connected
with the proposed road at some point
above Milton. In that way much Of
the territory Of three states would be
tapped by this splendid railroad sys-
tenn.
It is believed that the actual work
of grading and building the bridges
on the proposed extension will be
commenced at a very early date, all
surveys having been practically COM
pleted sometime ago.
With the proposed road completed
into Pensacola there would be some
lively competition between the Deep
Water Route, the L. & N. and the
Central of Georgia in the matter Of
coal transportation from the Birn-
ingham district, as well as on iron
and other heavy freights.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The arrival
in New York of the Italian steamer
America with guns on her stern may
hasten the United States decision ON
the question of whether there win be
change in the policy regarding the
clearance from the United States ports

Baron Zwiedinek the Austro-Hun-

partment what the United States in
tended doing in case the Verona, which
arrived similarly armed recently and
is still in port.
It is understood that Australia
gary will take the position that any
armed merchantmen can be torpedoed
without warning. Recently the Cuts
seppi Verdi was allowed to clear when
Italy promised the guns would be used
for defense only.
Officials have indicated the same
procedure for the Verona. Whether

Captain Mosely of Army
War College, So Informs
Senate Committee
~ ASSOCIATED PRrsn.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Antagonisn
of labor unions is the chief difficulty
of enlisting men in the national guard
according to Captain G. Fl. Mosely, Of
the army war college, who testified
before the senate military committee
today. He believed system provid-
ing universal liability to military SER
vice ultimately would be necessary in
the United States. Senator Warren
of Wyoming, ranking minority mem
Der of the committee said he believed
there was no other outcome for the
nation than final adoption of q system
that would make every citizen legally
liable for military service.
"Of the hundreds of letters with
suggestions for increasing the army
that come weekly to the war depart
ment," said Captain Mosely "there is
never one that promises to bring in
a single private soldier that would
credit the army. Plane suggests en-
listing the down and out, the indig-
ent, the drunkards and even prisoners
and those convicted of crime. Until
the army can attract the sons of re-
spectacle farmers worlmen, merchant
and millionaires In the same sets Of
tours, voluntary enlistment will not
keep the army up to the strength in
time of peace"
Before the house military committee
General Darlington said he thought
no attempt to provide for universal
military service should be made un-
til every effort to construct volun-
teer army in peace times had been
exhausted.
"But I think we viii have to come
to it in the end, he added.

for passage of the government ship
purchase bill are believed bright by

Wilson's conferences today with dem
ocrats who opposed the bin last year
an indication that Wilson will win
the united support.
As now proposed the bill would pro-
vide for government operation Of ships

tions. Wilson today urged the follow
ing Legislation be pushed ahead of
everything else: National defense
measures, creation of mercantile
marine, revenue legislation, including
a revision of an income tax law and
creation of a non-partisan board; the
Philippine self government bill, which
viii include a provision granting indie
pendence within two to four years,
provided satisfactory steps make it
possible to establish staple and in
dependent government, and conserva-
tion measures.
FIGHT ON HEATING BILL
For six hours today the house de-
bated the Heating bill, designed to
pr Jhibit the interstate shipment of
goods manufactured by children of
less than sixteen years, and the meas
ure will be taken up again Wednes-
day next for unlimited debate.
Howard of Georgia, and Shirley of
Kentucky were the only southern
members supporting the bill. Howard
blamed much of the child labor in the
south on ''trafficking, no account,
drunken daddies," who "put little
children in pawn so they may live in
idleness."
Chairman Webb of the house judic-
larry committee, Adamson Of Georgia,
Harrison of Mississippi and Page OF
North Carolina, bitterly fought the
bill, claiming it is unconstitutional.

Search of That Taken From
Steamship Develops Some
Big Surprises

London, Jan. 26.-The British for
eign Office today Published a list of
goods in postal mail bags Of the CEN
trail powers taken from the Dutch
steamship Frisia, outward bound Tu-
bantia, inward bound, and the Ryn-
dam,
The mail bags taken from the
Frisia contained rolled gold chains,
gold earrings, bracelets, rings and
brooches and drugs, dyes, oleographs
and machine needles. The Tubantia's
mail bags are said to have contained
four sacks of rubber in packets
marked samples, without value" of
a total weight of 70 1-2 pounds and adj
dressed to Hamburg from Brazil; and
also seven packets of wool from Ur-
uguay to Berlin of sample size.
Examination of the Rydann's mail
bags has not been completed but the
mails are alleged to have contained
go per cent. newspapers; 80 per cent.
propaganda and 10 per cent. goods,
call of the enemy origin" and adj
dressed in most cases to firms with
German names in the United States.
The above particulars" it was said
at the foreign Office, "show the extent
to which the postal mails are being
used by the enemy as means of con-
veyance of goods to evade the measure
of restriction of trade taken BY the
British government. BY no possible
stretch can it be contended that in
the majority of the foregoing cases
the articles seized are postal CORES
pondence or samples to which alone
can be applied such immunity as the
postal mails enjoy"

RECORD.
ONE DAY.
Three Steamers, Two Banks,
One Schooner and Two
Barges Enter.
ALL CHARTERED TO
TAKE CARGOES HERE
Foreign Shipping Becomes
More Active With
Arrival of Vessels.

Since Sunday last the big hsot in
the harbor was reduced by eight YES
sells going to sea, but it appeared
that the places Of those departures
we're being filed up rapidly yester-
day when the same number Of craft,
including two barges from Cuba, were
reported by the customs inspectors.
There were three steamships, two
bariks, one schooner ana two barges,
from Cuba. The steamers win all
take cargo here, il was announced, al
though one Of them, loaded with inn
ported material, will be discharged
before being ready to load out.
The italian steamship Italia was
the first arrival Of the day and was
assigned a berth in the stream, later
to be moved to loading berth or
course this vessel will load for the
home ports.
Several thousand bales Of cotton
have been awaiting the arrival Of the
Spanish steamship Adelina, which
reached port yesterday, heavily
loaded with phosphate from Port
Tampa. This steamer was berthed
in the slip without loss Of time, and
this morning will probably start
working cotton, to fill out as short a
time as possible for Liverpool This
vessel will probably receive the
highest freights ever paid for cotton
from Pensacola, as ID will average
about fifteen dollars per bale, and the
consignment to go to Liverpool
aboard the Adelina will probably IL
in excess Of 5000 bales.
The Italian steamship Giovanrosa
also arrived yesterday. This steamer
has a large consignment Of iron py-
rites, brought here from Huclva.
Spain. This steamer was also berthed
in the slip, and her cargo will be
rapidly unloaded.
The Italian bark Santa Maria arr
rived up and will take cargo Of tim
Der and lumber.
A little surprise was occasioned
when the Norwegian bark Alfheim
showed up in the harbor, as II was
known, from maritime publications
that she was en- route TO GUlfport-
The Alfheim was halted az Fort Nor
gan, fumigated and then ordered to
Pensacola for cargo. She Is a IA
miliar vessel to many Of the older
baymen and frequenters Of the water
front.
The American schooner Bailey, and
the barges Ben and Consul, the two
latter having come up from Cuba,
constituted the last Of the days en-
frances at the custom house.
Today there are several vessels
due, and at least two are expected to
be off the bar at daylight They are
a steamship from Galveston, which is
coming for supply of bunker coal,
and the American schooner Blanche
H. King, which is coming to load a
cargo Of coal.
