It Has Every Advantage
Over Any Other Port On
Gulf Or Atlantic Coasts

Will one of the proposed new navy
Yards be established at Pensacola?
When the Associated Press sent the
flash yesterday that the navy bill had
been amended to create commission
to report on site for one yard on
the Pacific and another one on the
Atlantic, south of Norfolk, the live
wires of Pensacola Immediately be-
gan to plan a concerted effort to urge
the Importance of this place for the
governments needs.
With an unrivalled bay; remarka-
bly health conditions; central loca-
ton, especially with reference to Latin
America, in which our interests are
concentrated by the Monroe Doctrine;
a geographical situation making 1t
practically immune to hostile attack;
| it is pointed out that Pensacola is the
ideal place for a large naval station,
The fact that this place was chosen
for the aeronautical headquarters Of
the navy proves Pensacola's claim.
While the station at Key West vii
always serve important needs, its geo.
graphical situation is not favorable
for constructing large craving dock
and establishing the repair facilities
necessary for the largest ships of thu
line.
Pensacola Is especially suitable
for a craving dock, which will b.
the main feature of the proposed
base; and its strategic location is a
important as that of Guantanamo
Cuba, with many other advantages
notably the water supply-over
whelmingly in our favor.
The recommendations of the boar
of aeronautics in 1913, upon whicl
Pensacola was chosen for the navs
