BOYCOTT PUTS PRESERVE ALL
PRICES DOWN Liant MARKS
u. D. G. Undertakes to
Have All Historical
Sites Marked.

An effort will be made to mark
all landmarks in Pensacola for the
information of visitors in the city and
to keep the memories fresh for Pen
sacolians. The work was started
under the auspices of a committee
appointed by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy last year, but be-
cause of other activities, was allow
ed to wait until more favorable OPP
portunity.
The matter of recording the his
toric spots in an old city like Pen
sacola, is believed to be an excellent
undertaking, and with sufficient in
terest it is expected that it will be
carried through with little difficulty.
The prospects of some of the spots
being lost to memory increases with
the advance of the business section,
and the encroachment of building in
parts of the city where the land.
marks most abound.
Some of the historic buildings have
been torn down, and no tablet marks
the spot where they once stood. In
a city whose history is linked with
the progress of the nation, and its
succeeding stages of colonization, a
movement to mark historic places,
such as the one proposed, assumes
unusual Importance.

BOND ELECTION IN
0KAL0OSA KILLED

An election in Okaloosa county for
road building bonds south of the
Shoal river, and to be used in the
construction of hard-surfacing of
thirty miles of roads, leading to the
bay country, was held yesterday.
Returns announced at Milligan, the
temporary county seat of Okaloosa
county, last night showed that the
bond election had been defeated by z
bare majority of seven votes.
The canvassing board will meet this
morning at the Milligan court house
for the purpose of going over the re-
turns, and it is believed that one
precinct, in which there were report
ed to have been some irregularities,
is in question and may be thrown out
altogether. Should this procedure be
followed, it will mean that the bonds
will carry by a safe vote.

Berne, March Via Paris, March
2.-The recent reports that the Aus
tro Hungarian government has de-
termined to make every effort to
maintain diplomatic relations with
the United States is corroborated by
information reaching here from vi

The strong impression prevails that
Austria Hungary intends to make ev-

such action apparently would mean
flying in the face of Germany.
An American in close touch with
Austrian diplomatic affairs, who ar

ion was divided among those who ex-
pect Austria to attempt to placate
America as to the causes underlying
the divergence from the policy of
Germany. One group, he said, be-

the purpose of preserving unbroken
and indirect bond between herself and

group was convinced that Austria
was asserting independence of Ger
