PATRIOTIC ELEMENT WINS AT
 BRITISH LABoR CONFERENCE.
Vote to Have Their Representatives
 Remain in the AMfnistry.

Bristol, Jan. 2S. 3.15 p. m.-The Brit ish labor conference closed today with another victory for the patriotic ele- ment over the anti-war faction. The vote on a motion approving the act tons of the labor, members of the government showed a large majority in it's favor. the affirmative vote be- ing 1,405.000. A. second motion de- clarirg that the best interests of the nation demanded that they remain in office was adopted by a majority of l. 1000.
 The delegates 2took comparatively little interest in today's, proceedings, the discussion of the. previous two days of the conference; having. shown the sentiments of an overwhelming majority.
 When an Edinburgh store clerk ap- pealed to he conference not to join in the coercion of slackers he was met with cries of derfsfon. The declara- ton of John Hodge, a labor member of parliament, that .WfthdraWal of the three labor members of the govern ment would have a biiglrting influence and would discourage. Great Britain's allies was fully. agreed with by the delegates generally. -i @
 A socialist resolution, condemning the present system of secret for eign policy, led to lively recrirnina- tions but the. ,yote-r showedz the Ysdesire. of. the delegates not to make the gov ernment's position difficult. The mo- tion was rejected. by a majority of 357,00o, many delegates sustaining from voting. --s...= $, ..s.aIe4.
 Even among the various sections of organized labor which at times have been at odds with each other, the spirit of cenciliation- prevailed. Ram say Macdonald was easily reelected treasurer, notwithstanding the fact that his opinions are at variance with those of a majority. of the delegates
 All the other business was purely of a routine nature, The conference closed without any demonstration.

Rusala,a vaat Resources.

Russia lacks only ten longitudinal degrees of stretching half way round the earth, and possesses one-sixth of the, landed area of the planet. Rus sia's Asiatic possessions are forty times as great as those of Japan, even since the new Asiatic balance that followed the Russo-Japanese war. The variety of Russia's resources make the empire second only to the United States as the greatest food producing country inethe world. It leads all na- tions in mineral wealth and timber supply.

AN INTERESTING
SUIT To Be HEARD

An interesting action for personal
damages is on the docket in the
court of record this morning, and the
outcome is being watched with inter
est by a number of persons. Title
of said case is that B. F. Kersey VS..
the L. & n. Railroad Co.
Kersey, it is said, is suing the rail
road company named for personal in
juries said to have been received
some months ago on one of the
docks of the defendant company. 1t
is alleged that the plaintiff, whose
duties called him to the dock in ques-
ton, was struck by a falling ladder,
and he was seriously injured. 1t was
the claim for months that his neck
had been broken. At any rate the
spinal cord was said to have been
permanently injured because of brok-
en- and crushed bones and joints,
hence the action.

DERELICT VESSEL
TOWED IN HARBOR

Towing the derelict schooner J. E.
duBignon, the tug Sea King reached
port Tuesday morning, and a more
careful examination of the hulk was
made. The stern, as Mr.. Oliver re-
ported from the examination made
forty miles south in the gulf, had the
appearance Of having been blown out
by an explosion, but possibly the deck
cargo might have beat this out as the
vessel heaved to and fro on the noun
famous seas.
Not the least sign of life was dis
covered, and no word of inquiry
reached the city yesterday; despite
the fact that the news of the schooner
was carried in all directions by the
Associated Press and by special ser
vice to the New York Herald.
It is planned to place the hulk on
an even keel just as soon as possible,
and there is a possibility that human
bodies may be discovered in the
cabins.
The Sea King early in the after
noon towed her prize over to. Perdido
wharf, where it was moored. Posi-
bly, today an effort witt be made to
right the schooner.
Lieut.. Carr, aboard the coast guard
cutter Penrose, made a trip to the
wreck soon after the Sea King had
arrived in port from the gulf. He
made close examination, the report
ed explosion" at the stern of the
vessel causing a more careful exami-
nation than otherwise, Lieut.. Carr
made no public report on the matter
during the day.

RURAL MAIL BOXES

On account of the poor condition
of many Of the rural delivery boxes
along the new motor route, Postmast-
er Hancock is waging a campaign for
improvement, and to that end is
sending copy of the postal regula-
tons to each patron along the route.
Mr.. Hancock made an investiga-
ton of the condition ofthe boxes Mon
day and Tuesday and says that it is
impossible to render good service
under the conditions that exist, and
that unless improvements are made
it will be necessary for the depart
ment to refuse service.
The following is a copy of the no.
tees which have been sent out:
Rural Patron:
The Postal Laws and Regulations
governing the operation a motor
rural routes require that:
All rural boxes shall be correctly
numbered.
Each box shall bear the owners

should be very plain, so as to avoid
errors in the delivery of mail. Ink
should be used instead of chalk or
pencil.
All boxes shall be provided with a
suitable signal, to indicate if there is
mail in the box. This flag should be
painted red or other bright color, diff
ferent from color of box. All boxes
should be kept in good repair. Each

accessible by the carrier, and shall be
kept clear of sand and other obstruc-

LONG DISTANCE
YACHT RACE To
PEN SACOLA OFF

That the last long distance race
has been run from New Orleans to
Pensacola; that the Carrie cup route
will be to Biloxi or Mobile at the
farthest, is indicated in the following
article appearing in the New Or
leans States. The article was writ

itor of the States. Mr.. Edwards

Proposed Shortening of Long Dis
lance Race.
Since the several rather uncomfort-
able experiences which the cruiser
motor boat owners have passed
through in four of the five races for
the Carlo cup, from West End to Pen
sacola, there now is a well defined
proposition, apparently, to shorten
the distance of the race.
It is not by any means a joke
that upwards of forty miles run in
the open Gulf of Mexico, from Mobile
Bay bar to Pensacola Bay bar. In
weather such as we encountered on
this latest race for the Carlo goblet
it was not, by any means, a "ring-
around-Rosy" proposition. All those
craft of the S. Y. C. fleet which re-
manned in Pensacola, out of common
courtesy, they were bound to do, to
attend the annual regatta of their
host, the Pensacola Yacht Club, went
through an experience such as they
had never before encountered. But
they stayed and they participated.
The Pensacola yachtsmen are
princes as entertainers. But-the
risk is too great for our big-little
cruising motor craft, the risk of MAX
ing that run in the big Gulf of Mex
leo, the forty-odd miles from Mobile
Bay bar to Pensacola Bay bar, with
uncertain weather conditions, and
weather conditions of late appear to
be absolutely uncertain, whether il
be May, June or July.
! It is all very nice when the weather
is good. But it is very much to the
bad when the weather, wind and wa
ter are on a "tear," as they were
from July for several days.
When the writer said to Commo.
dore Ernest Lee Jahncke, head anc
front of the Southern Yacht Club, 6

Morgan would be long enough for {

have felt that way since I first wen
into this Carlo cup race. Nobody i
afraid to tackle the run, not even tn
owners of the smallest of the craft
But what's the use? There's no flu

weather as our craft met with thi
time. Let's shorten it, as you sug

business. If it was merely a cruis
and not a race we could easily enoug
make it to Pensacola, if we coul
make our own way and time there
but having to race to that point is
different proposition"
There now appears to be little,
any, doubt that the 1917 long distanc
race, whether it be for the Carrie Gu
or another, may be limited to Fol-

William S. Hart, in The Primal Lure

William S. Hart, in The Primal Lure
William S. Hart, admittedly Amer
ica's premier interpreter of rugged
frontier types, has the leading role
in '"The Primal Lure" Triangle-Tnce
production of Vingie E. Roe's cele-
brated novel of the same name, adapt
ed for the screen by J. G. Hawks, of
the Ince staff. 1t will be seen at the
Isis theatre Friday.
''The Primal Lure" is an absorbing
drama of life in the great Canadian
Northwest. II recites the stirring ro-
nance of Angus Mcconnell, a young
Scotch-Canadian factor, and Lois lie
Moyne, daughter of a French settler
at the post. 1t is replete with thrill
ing encounters with the Blackfeet In
dians, and teens with love interest
rivaled in its appeal only by the pic
turesque beauty of the story's back
ground.
Hart has the role of Mcconnell and
he has invested it, it is declared, with
rare power. While the part is unlike
that of "Blaze" Tracy in "Hell's Hing
es" or Steve Denton in "The Aryan,"
it has provided the noted actor with
the same opportunities for forceful
characterization.

''The Battle Cry of Peace" Tomorrow
So much has been said in favor of
this noteworthy booking, that little
need be said in its favor. 1t is per-
haps today the most noted spectacle
of its kind before the American pub
lie.
On July 4th there were requests
and demands from AZ cities of the
United States to play this attraction.
There are only thirteen companies,
so naturally there is little room for
argument. Many States Of the
Union are using the picture to in
spire enrolment for the States Ma
tional Guard. "The Battle Cry of
Peace" is not the ordinary cinema
spectacle. It is to be seen to be ap-
preciated. 1t required the outlay of
small fortune to produce it, and it
is said that it is honored by having
the endorsement of every prominent
living American, all of whom wit
messed the production.
