PEACE OvERTURES
AUSTRIAN AND BULGARIAN REP
RESENTATIvES FEELING OUT
ALLIED DIPLOMATS.
WEARIED WITH WORLD WAR
Washington Government Knows Of
Move But Whether the Two coun.
tries Involved Are Working
Together Is Not Known.

Washington, April IA. - Austrian
and Bulgarian representatives are en-
deavoring 10 approach Allied diplo-
mats in Switzerland on the subject
of peace.
Press dispatches have developed
that it is known here not only that
Bulgaria has taken soundings, but al
so that there has been similar &C.
ton in the name of Austria Hungary.
Whether the two countries are work
ing separately or together is not
known.
Weary With War.
Officials here see in the Austrian
and Bulgarian action merely an ex-
preston of WEAKNESS with the war
and anxiety to bring it to an end with
out, however. involving any indication
of desperation which would make
them propose terms acceptable to the
Allies. AS a result, there is every
evidence that the informal efforts now
being made mark merely step in
the long road that will eventually lead
to peace and do not offer hope of real
negotiations In the near future.
Must Make Terms Public.
This opinion is strengthened by the
fact that the Allied diplomats have
not accepted suggestions for private
Conversations, but have indicated that
they will not go into any such discus
sion blindfolded. They have left the
impression that they stand on the
general principles that Allied nations
will not enter peace conference un
til their enemies have made public
their terms.

LARGE ABATTOIR
in THIS SECTION
COMMISSIONER HINRICHS PLANS
TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS WITH
SUCH A MISSION IN MIND. HE
SAYS.

Commissioner Geo. F. Hinrich
planned tc go TO New Orleans last
night for the purpose, he said. of
looking into the chances of getting for
Pensacola and vicinity an abattoir
which it is claimed the Wilson Com
pany, western packers, intend locating
at gulf port. This company, it is
explained, is now importing thousands
of head of live stock from Argentine
and other South American countries,
and it is their plan, it is said, to butch
er and prepare these beeves at the
point of importation, thus saving the
transportation to live stock yards in
the west. Should this arrangement be
brought about, it will mean the butch
ering and distribution from this Sec
ton of thousands of head of live stock
annually.
Commissioner Hinrichs intended to
make the trip last night, but was not
able to leave on account of the alb
sence of Mayor Johnson, who it was
stated, went up 70 Cullnnan, Ala,
where he has two sons attending ST.
Bernard's college. He expects to be
back today and Mr. Hinrichs will
probably go to New Orleans tonight,
meeting head officers of the company
there.

the mighty duel without pause. |
On the Fsench and Austro-Italian
fronts, likewise only the artillery are
active.
The Reichstag debate expected
Monday was postponed to Tuesday.
Meanwhile the imperial chancellor has
gone to the main headquarters to con-
fer with the Kaiser and Hindenburg.
Political factions in Russia have
finally reached an agreement on the
points disputed, al a coalition govern
ment may be instituted Immediately.
The country is threatened WITH gen
eral railway strike, which was partly
put in effect Sunday, notwithstanding
the government threat that men par
ticipating will be charged with trea-
son.

SECOND LIBERTY
LOAN STARTS IN
GOOD SHAPE HERE
FIRST BOND PURCHASED BY AR
MOuR AND UNNAMED PENSA-
COLIAN SCHEDULED TO BUY
BUY ABOUT $4,000 WORTH.

When the local campaign for the
second Liberty Loan opened in Pen
sacola yesterday morning, the first
bond sold was to the Armour Packing
Company, purchased through the
local branch, for $1,000. Aside from
the interest of it being the first bond
bought locally, officials in charge Of
the campaign expressed the hope
that other local branches of large cor
porations would purchase on the local
market rather than at headquarters.
This plan was worked to large
extent in the first campaign, and a
large amount was subscribed by the
corporations through the local
branches. In this way, the effect of
the purchasing is felt throughout the
entire country, and gives an added
stimulus to the campaign.
AS soon as the campaign opened yes
terday, agents for Pensacolian an
nounce the probability of purchasing
$4,000 worth Of the bonds. According
to the statement made, he purchased
$25 900 worth of the first issue and
intends to bring his total to 100000.
A conference was held yesterday
afternoon between the Committee
and local bankers to arrange for a
convenient form of payment for the
small investor. These plans have not
yet been definitely arranged, but will
be completed and announced as soon
as possible.

District Attorney Reports
Teaching of Holiness Man
Widespread
NUMEROUS MEETINGS
HELD, 1T Is REPORTED'
Another Warrant Reported
Have Been Issued BY u. S.
Commissioner !

That the preachings Of Gustavd
Sigwalt, the Holiness preacher arrest
ed in Tallahassee for violating the
espionage act, are attaining a wide

urday afternoon before the commits

Mr.. Neeley said that numerous
meetings have been held in North and
West Florida, and in Georgia, and
that large number of co-religionists
of Sigwalt appeared at the hearing
to swear that the preacher had never
said anything against the United
States, though Sigwalt, it is stated,
following them on the stand, admit.
ted that he had. \
In making the admission it is re-
ported that the defendant said that
he would rather take the conse-
quences for his actions, than to fight
his fellow man. For according to the
Bible, and the Commandments it is
wrong to kill. Witnesses testified ths:
Sigwalt repeatedly urged his hearers
not to fight even if they were forced
to go to the front, but to shoot into
the air, rather than kill their fellow
man.
In his testimony, Mr.. Neeley said,
Sigwalt voiced the belief that the
world had never been ruled righteous
ly since the time of~AChrist, and that
it would never see another righteous
rule until the second coming OF
Christ.

ARMY AVIATION WORK

Local army recruiting Offices have
been authorized by the state head
quarters to accept men for the avia-
tion branch of the signal corps. en-
bracing mechanics. clerks, chaffeurs,
and various other fields of action.
When the announcement of the
opening of the aviation section was
first made number of men respond
ed at once, and the local men who are
in this service are apparently well
pleased with their prospects for ad-
vancement. On this account it is ex-
pected that the reopening of the SER
vice will prove of interest in Pen
sacola. and that more men from this
CITY will enlist for the aviation section.
As the second draft has been an
nounced for October Il, in Escambia
county, the opening of the aviation
section affords those who are subject
to draft. an opportunity to enlist vol
unfairly in one of the most desirable
branches of the service.

of the Chamber of Commerce will be
held this afternoon at four o'clock
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
when final plans for circulating the
petitions will be arranged, and the
work started as soon as possible.

member is expected to attend the
meeting this afternoon, as complete
cooperation is necessary to insure the

BRITISH QUICKLY BEAT
OFF A GERMAN ATTACK

British Front in France and Bel
gium, Act S.-(By Associated Press)
A counter attack by the Germans in
force east of Polygon wood in the re-
gion of Reutel, last evening, was
quickly beaten off by artillery and ma
chiee gun fire The front involved
was over a width of about 500 yards.
The attack was preceded by heavy
artillery barrage which was put down
not only in this section but along the
greater portion of the new battle.
The rain of yesterday turned the
Flanders battlefield to mass of deep
mud and filled the shell holds with
water, making most difficult military
operations of all sorts. The sun was
shining this morning, but it will take
several days of fair weather to re-
pair the damage done yesterday.
Calm all along the fighting lines
during the night is reported &.
