vantage of the opportunity to inspect
the new highway, take a dip in the
surf and enjoy the barbecue. In ad-
dition TO the facilities for bathing in
the big lagoon, boats will be provided
for reaching the Gulf beach, where
surf bathing will be enjoyed.
L. W. Hardy, who has prepared
several successful barbecues in
West Florida, will have charge Of the
eatables and promises the most appe-
thing feast ever served in this sec
ton.
Arrangements are being made to
provide transportation TO the picnic
grounds for those who do not have
cars. The committee in charge Of
this being Ben S. Hancock, Capt. I.
Fl. Aiken. J. F. Dusenbury and D. D.
McCaskill.

the day and prizes will be given the
fisherman making the biggest total
catch and the one landing the big
gest fish.
The entire proceeds Of the outing
will be used to complete the highway
to the gulf, which will give this sec
ton one of the finest auto roads in
the south.

The British today announced they

Authoritative figures show the
French and British captured 1880

Infantry engagements arc reported

From the Baltic to the Roumanian-

by sporadic rifle fire, and small re-

Thousands of Acres of Land
Volunteered by Local
Developers.
MATTER PRESENTED
TO SEN. FLETCHER
Most Logical Answer to
Where Will Food
Come Froan.

Bringing German prisoners to
West florida" said James F. Philips,
secretary of the Chamber Of Com
merce, discussing an editorial sugges-
ton in The Journal of some days ago,
'is one of the easiest solutions there
is to the food problem.
Land-No Labor.
Here in the south we have thou
sands and thousands of acres Of land,
but they can not be put into cultiva-
ton because there is not enough
labor here.
Next Years Food.
Even granting that this country
has enough food for the next year,
what of the next year, and the next?
The war viii undoubtedly be a long
one. We must feed our allies. The
agricultural production of our allies
is dropping.
Develop This Region.
bringing German prisoners of war
to West For da and setting them TO
work clearing and cuItivating land,
under guard, of course, will help the
country and incidentally develop this
reriou. I have no doubt whatever but
that land owners viii volunteer all
the land necessary for the work"
Many Interested.
Since the editorial in question there
have been many favorable comments
on the suggestion. Over t rec thou
sand acres of land have already been
offered for the purpose, near PENS
cola, and probably q quarter OF 2
million acres could be secured.
100000 Acres of Lend.
The Journal has taken the rat..e
up with Senator Fletcher. Tho prs-
oners could be brought from Emo 81
on returning munitions ships. FL
land would be relieved Of TIE neces-
s'tv of feeding them and immense
acreapes of sweet and Irish potatoes,
corn and other staples could be rajsrl
here. The farms to be distributed
throughout West Florida wherever
suitable provision could be made.
Up To Fletcher
One of the advantages of the West
Florida location is that costly build
ings need not be erected, because Of
the mildness of the climate.

PASS ESPIONAGE BILL
DIFFERENT TO HOUSE
Among Other Times, OBJ
struction to Recruiting is
Heavily Penaliz4d.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 1.-THE admin
istration esp onage bill minus the
press censorship and prohibition sec
TORS vas passed by the senate to-
night, 70 to 6. Senator'S Borah,
France, Gronna, LaFollette and Yard
GLlan voted against the bill. The
measure vas sent to conference i'm
mediatoly, the house having passed an
esp ona~e bill quite different in many
particulars.
The espionage bill as passed by
the senate, also provides punishment
for the conveyance of false reports
to interfere with military operations,
wilfui attempts to cause disaffection
in military and naval forces or the
obstruction of recruiting. 1t pro-
vides for the seize of arms and nlu-
nitions, and prof. 0ition of their ex-
port under certain conditions. 1t
penalties conspiracies designed to
harm American foreign relstsons Or
fer the destruction of property with
in the Un ted States. 1t increases
restrictions upon the issuance of
passpo, is.
A similar bill. passed the house and
the virtual redrafting of many Of thu
most important provisions is expect
cd in conference.
Food Control Rejected.
The senate also rejected the amend
n1cnt to the espionage bill to control
food speculation, although sentiment
was obviously overwhelmingly in
favor of such legislation later.
Among the features Of the bill are
a provision for the president to en-
barge exports, for the postoffice de-
partment to censor mails, the punish
mens of espionage, including the
wrongful use of military information
and the control of merchant vessels
in American waters.

Unrestrained Wrath of Up
per House Poured Out OH
Food Spectators.
MOST REMARKABLE
SCENE is STAGED
Suggested That Price Boost
ers be Hanged from
Lamp Posts
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May lathe unre-
strained wrath of the senate was
poured down upon food gamblers and
spectators today in one of the most
remarkable scenes in the history Of
the chamber.
PIRATES" and robbers" were
terms frequently applied to those who
profit by speculatiOns in food in the
hour of the nations need. The like
lihood of food spectators being
hanged to lamp posts was limited
at.
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, democrat, of Colorado, pro-
posed as an amendment to the admin
istration espionage bill, provision
to suspend for the duration of the
war all boards of trade, stock ex-
changes, or chambers Of commerce
which permit speculation in futures
in food.
Senators who opposed it, did so on
the ground that the object should
be accomplished in another way, and
some thought it would stifle COM
merce. The great majority of opinion
favored some drastic action to stop
food gambling and speculation which
makes for artificial prices and threat
ems the nation with the pinch of
hunger.
Senator Lewis, democrat, said he
thought legislation such as proposed
! by Senator Thomas would work in
! jury to many and should not be pass
ed without elaboration
/ Would Seize Foods.
"What is needed at this hour" he
said, "is a provision OF law authoriz-
ing the president on evidence salts
factory to him that food is being un-
necessarily held. to seize such food
and order its distribution under the
proper branch Of the government with

CAUSES A STIR

Geo. H. Hi11richs
Mayor.
Tallahassee Bureau,
Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, May 14.-Two bills
occupied practically the entire atten-
ton of the house this morning, the
first being one to permit newspapers
to accept free passes on railroads in
exchange for advertising, while the
other was the bad check bill by Sen
ator Carlton, which passed the senate
last week.
The newspaper advertising brought
forth much debate and violent opposi-
ton, many of the members claiming
that it would lead to a subsidized
press, as the advertising need not be
confined strictly to ordinary adver-
Using space, but editorials, could be
used as advertisements. The danger
of the arrangement politically, was
also stressed, and the bill was finally
killed.
The bad check bill by Senator
Carlton, which provides that the re-
turn of an unpaid check to the draw
er shall be prima facie evidence of
! the violation of the act, and unless
| It is redeemed within twenty-four
| hours, he can be prosecuted and i'm
J prisoned for one year, or fined one
/ thousand dollars. The bill passed
| the house with only four dissenting
votes.
FOgarty Bill Recommitted.
! Senator Fogarty's bill providing for
the confirmation of officers which
passed the senate last week, is the
cause of somewhat of a stir in the
lower branch. 1t was referred to the
judiciary A committee of the house,
/ which reported it unfavorably, and
after some debate and parliamentary
! technicaljties, was recommitted. It
is understood that the BIN will not be
! reported again, until supporters of it
are certain of its passage.
! The recommitment of the bill has
also brought about some i'll feeling,
for in deciding a parliamentary point
involved, the speaker was notified
that an appeal to the house would be
taken, and it is currently rumored
that if the sneakers ruling is over.
ridden, he will resign.
1t is further alleged that agents OF
the admipistrat;on have threatened
representatives with the executive
veto against pet measures unless
they oppose the bill, which seeks to
restrict the governors appointive
powers.
