DANIELS SCORES U. S. m
NUFACTURERS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary
Daniels replied today TO a criticism
of the governments action award
ing Hadfields, Limited, British mu-
nitions factory, the contract for a
large number of armor-piercing pro-
jectiles at price about 5000 each less
below the lowest American bid.
He said that until the Bethlehem
Company is able to fill contracts it is
not becoming the company to criti-
cize the navy department for con-
tracing with manufacturers who
make shells that meet the tests. 81
regard the attitude of these compa-
nies in this and other matters as
most unfortunate and were there nc
relief through competition, would
feel they were putting our entire pro-
gram of preparedness in peril" he
said.

SEL[|NG
/. FAST IN PENSACOLA

That Buick sales are still on the
upward trend is attested to by the
fact that the local branch has re-
ported six sales for the past week,
three fours and three skies. 'This,"
stated manager Sid H. Fried of the
local branch, ais exceptionally good
for the month of January, just when
everyone is planning to keep down
his expenses for the coming year, and
is particularly gratifying to US in
that it shows our community in a
state of prosperity that is here to
stay. That the outlook for the first
part of 1917 is unusually bright, is
shown by three carloads of Bucks
now enroute and three of them sold
already" The problem Is not in the
placing of orders, stated Mr.. Fried
but in the delivery of cars. Every
Buick branch over the country has
oversold already.

CLAIMS COURT
FOR FRANCE AFTER
THE EUROPEAN WAR

Paris, Jan Fifteen billion
francs is the estimate most general
ly accepted as the total of war dam
ages to public and private property
In France, according TO Georges Des-
plas, of the War Damages Committee
OF the Chamber of Deputies, who has
charge of the legislation for the set
Element of those damages. Although
prior to this war such damages were
classed as catastrophies over which
neither men nor governments had
any control, the general principle of
indemnity for such damages whether
by the invaders or by the home army
was accepted by the Chamber OF
Deputies last year and a provisional
sum of 300,000,000 francs has al
ready been appropriated for immedi-
ate distribution.
Over two million claims are antici-
pated, number SO vast that it would
take the thirty courts of the invaded
departments of France about LIS
years to settle them at their normal
rate of procedure, says M. Desplas
In explaining to the Associated
Press the bill now under discussion
in parliament. "It promises" he
says, "the creation of Temporary
War Indemnity Tribunals somewhat
similar to the Courts of Claims in the
United States after the civil war
Each canton and each department ir
the invaded region will have commits
sions which will appraise damages
The Temporary War Tribunals il
each department viii pass upon these
claims, and in cases of contest, ap.
peals will be made to a body callet

members of parliament, justices o
the supreme court, representatives. 0

FISHERMEN ARE
ALLOWED TO co

-Four fishermen who were arrested
upon warrants made by Deputy Fish
Commissioner Frank D. Sanders, and
who were cited to appear for prelim-
mary hearing Saturday, all appeared
as recognized to do SO, and after they
had each made such showing through
their counsel, Judge Will L. johnson
discharged them from custody.
One of the allegations which was
set forth by the fishermen was that
they had not taken the mullet which
they had when arrested from Florida
waters at all, but had caught them in
the Perdido river, or in Perdido bay,
which is under the jurisdiction of the
state of Alabama. This showing, the
prosecution was not able to dispute
satisfactorily, and the court was thus
forced to let them go free.
The commissioners deputy had
them arrested when he found they
had mullet in their possession con-
trary to law. They claimed to have
taken them in the waters controlled
by the state of Alabama. The law
makes the possession of mullet prims
facie evidence of guilt, hence the
warrants made by the deputy.

SHIP LIKELY
TO SEEK HARBOR ON
THE GULF COAS 7

Gulf ports are being watched close
ly by press associations and metro
politan newspapers in the belief that
a prize ship may put in at one of
these places, for harbor. Instruc-
tions to local correspondents have
been received, to watch for and inn
mediately report the arrival of any
craft of this description.
From authoritative sources, it is
stated that the German raider which
has been operating in the south seas
has been Communicating vessels and
placing thereon prize crews. Such
vessels, it is thought, are following
the tactics of the parent raider, !"
and are either sending vessels of
large and small tonnage to the bot
tom, or harassing shipping FLYING
the enemy colors generally. Of
course, no definite description of the
supposed second raider is possible,
from the fact that shipping men be-
lieve the ship has tunnels which may
be displaced at will, Disgusting the
steamer from day to day.
One of the British steamers which
has thus been Communicated is the
St. Theodore, which is the prize ship
expected to call for harbor at some
point along the gulf coast. This yes
sci has been armed, it is said, and
should such craft come into any
American port, will be required to
get away within twenty-four hours,
| or else intern for the balance of the
war.
This was the procedure followed in
THE case of the British steamship APP
pam, which, captured and comman-
deered off the Azores, is said to have
sent ship after ship to the bottom
finally running into Norfolk fol
shelter, where the steamer yet re
mains The ownership of the Appan
is yet in the courts for decision.

encampment, if Pensacola wins. This
is one of the best locations on the
gulf, and Col Mills believes that the
uniform rank camp will be held there
this summer. The encampment will
take place during thes week of July
%.
About 1900 men win attend the
encampment. Over 600 were pres
ent at Pensacola last year for the
district. They enjoyed the stay in
the Florida city, and 1t is believed
that better accommodations viii be
found at Fort Barancas for the ma
tional encampment than any other
city can offer. The camp will be close
enough to the city to afford the men
an opportunity to visit the theaters
and to see the city. There is good
street car transportation, cool camp
and several government buildings for
the use of the men in case of neces-
sity.

RAISE PICS AND
POULTRY IN LONDON

London, Jan. 21.-The raising Of
pigs in small suburban gardens which
has been so severely tabooed b3~khe
sanitary authorities, is likely to be-
come an accomplished fact in the
near future. Baron Rhondda, presi-
dent of the local government board,
and Mr.. Prothero, president of-the
board of agriculture, in a special
memorandum indicate that the best
way to increase the nations food sup
ply is the keeping of pigs, poultry
and rabbits and that regulation is
about to be made giving power TO
sanitary authorities to grant per-
mission for the keeping of pigs.

BELIEVE SCANDINAVIA
WAS SUNK IN GALE

Boston, Jan. Wireless signals
of distress from the Swedish steamer
Scandinavia were picked up early
Friday morning by the British
freighter Start Point. The call was
repeated three times, the last call
being very faint, says the report.
The Scandinavia call gave no posi-
ton.
No attempt to reach the distressed
vessel was made because the Start
Point was battling with a gale at the
time. Calls are believed to have been
the same as picked up by Tank
steamer John d. Archbold near Cape
Race, N. F., yesterday.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Smooth running really is not pos
sible but proved practicable in the
new building under new conditions
sans accustomed time, place and
equipment.
Only those whose every faculty has
been brought to bear on this problem
can conceive the accuracy of estimate
it has required to make the necessary
adjustment of time or location for
recitations, study hours and instruc-
ton.
Little remains to be done to per-
feet the arrangement. The hours of
a few classes will be changed In or
der to dismiss all students at 5 p. m.
Domestic Art and Science classes
are being arran ed for, but the lab
oratory work of the Chemistry class
will have to be discontinued.
The Chorus.
Hearty enjoyment as well as profit
is experienced from the High School
chorus, under Mrs. Nita Osborne
Benin. The chorus met at the parlors
of the First Presbyterian church on
Monday and Tuesday for a rehearsal
for the Parent-Teachers' Association
and for the regular work.
Dramatic Class.
The work of the Dramatic club
when it presented a sketch deport-
ment at the Parent Teachers Asso-
citation, created general feeling of
elation. That some valuable talent
is being uncovered and developed for
Pensacola's growth is frequent
prophecy. Work of this kind is an
added incentive to parents in their
endeavor to provide the best possible
advantages for children.
A more pretentious sketch is being
prepared for the next meeting of the
Association.

LETTING
ANOTHER
BABY DIE
+ Omitted Press Leased WIRE,

United Press Leased wirc.I
- CHICAGO, July 24.-Dr. II. j.
Haiselden, who let Baby Bollinger
die because nature had made a
mistake, has again decreed that
nature shall be allowed to rectify
her own errors.
He has decreed death for the
infant daughter of William and
Mrs. Eva Meter of West Pullman.
When the child was born the
attending physician directed that
DR.. Haiselden be called and said
he would abide by the doctors de-
cision. DR.. Haiselden examined
the child and his decision was for
death.
The child's upper skull cap
was missing. A diminutive brain
which seemed to promise imbe-
cility was covered only by a thin,
transparent membrane. There
was no neck.
The tiny head was attached
directly to the shoulders. The
eyes bulged from their sockets.
Both ears were misshapen. The
arms were without muscles or
tendons and incapable of junction.

Could BE Saved.
1.-THE baby could be saved" said
DR.. Haiselden. This could be
achieved by cutting a patch of
skin from the back and grating
1t over the exposed brain. But l
will not do this. No surgeon is
justified in prolonging an abso-
lutely worthless life.
IF l saved the infant | should
preserve it to life of wretched-
ness. 1t would be burden to it
self and others. Perhaps it would
become a menace to society.

tify its own mistakes. ] will feed
1t as long as life lives, but | will
not operate"
The parents bowed to the doc
tors ruling. The child was still
alive today, but death was expect
ed momentarily.
DR.. Hazelden attributed the in
fant's condition directly to
marking" Six months before
the child was born, a man plunged
> from the Edison building here to
his death on the sidewalk directly
in front of Mrs. Meter His skull
was crushed. Baby Meters skull
is gone, in a corresponding region
of the head.
Marked Before Birth?
"The parallel is significant, q"
said DR.. Haiselden. And 1t only
confirms my opinion that children
are marked before birth, despite
contradictory opinions of many
leading physicians.
DR.. Haizelden's decree of
death for Baby Bollinger created
comment all over the civilized
world. The Illinois board of
health and Illinois Medical society
were asked to revoke the DOCTOR
