HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and a clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to achieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who has taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by a Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. Well we've been Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads [ in Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.

AMERICA PREPARING THE LAST
WORD ON THE SUBMARINE ISSUE
German Reply Admits Sink
ing Several Inofensive
Merchantmen.
- AssoCTATFp PREss.

Washington, April 12.-Germany
has denied torpedoing the British
channel steamer Sussex, but admitted
the steamers Eng1ishman and Eagle
Point were sunk after they attempted
to escape, according to an unofficial
text of the German note reaching here
through press dispatches.
Berlin adds the Berwindvale posi-
bly, was sunk, but details of the Man
chester Engineer are lacking. The
unofficial text was communicated to
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing tonight. The official text is ex-
pected hourly. 1t may be consider
ed at the regular cabinet meeting Fri
day.
The admission of Germany, how
ever that the three steamers carrying
Americans were sunk by German u
boats has simpli6ed the task of the
state department in preparing the
next step in the issue oTer subma-
rine warfare. 1t is known that the
United States will continue to com.

Highway to the
Gulf Would Be
A Great Asset
R. w. Goodhart SAYS It
Will Attract Large
Number of Tourists

R. W. Goodhart, president of the
National Bank Of Commerce, believes
the Gulf Highway will form Pensa-
cola's greatest attractions. He said
yesterday:
IF the Gulf Beach Highway is de-
veloped by the citizens Of Pensacola
it viii prove the greatest asset PEN
sacola has, and as an attraction it
cannot be excelled.
'The sandy beach and wonderful
surf we have win alone be the means
Of drawing to Pensacola a number of
tourists who have been going else
where.
ASK any man in Jacksonville, he
said, "what is the city's greatest at
traction and he win tell YOU that it
is their beach; and what is their great
est asset and he viii tell you it is
the good roads by which to reach the
beach. This in itself proves that this
highway from Pensacola would mean
something"

Wilbur and Burton Logan
Guilty Killing Negro
Preacher.
EACH SENTENCED
TO TWENTY YEARS
Plead Guilty to Manslaugh-

Is Released.
SPECIAL no THE JorRNAr,,

Mariana, April 1.-THE trial of
the three Logan boys for the murder
of two negro preachers came to an
unexpected close today when Wilbur
and Burton Logan pleaded guilty to
manslaughter and the case against
Roland Logan was dismissed.
Since the adjournment of court on
yesterday it seems that an agreement
between counsel was reached whereby
the two younger brothers were per-
mitted to plead guilty to the lesser
degree of murder and the older broth
er was to be cleared of the charge of
killing Joe Walters, one of the two
negro preachers, who met their death
near here on Christmas day last and
for the alleged killing of whom these
three prominent young men have
twice been on trial for their lives.
Therefore, when court convened this
morning the plea of guilty was made
on behalf of the two younger boys to
the charge of manslaughter, and the
Judge instructed the jury to bring in
verdict Of not guilty as to the elder
The proceedings were thus abruptly
closed, and Judge Wilson sentenced
Wilbur and Burton Logan to the peni-
tertiary for a term of twenty years

An interesting feature of this case
is that the conviction of these parties
was made possible, it is said, only by
