have expressed a willingness to enter into
such an agreement, and its contamination
will make a large percentage of the aliens
in this country subject to the draft Fig
ures compiled for the house committee on
military affairs show that 55 per cent of the
aliens of military age in this country are
subjects of Great Britain, and there are
many French, Italian and Russian subjects
who would be included in the arrangement.
The committee on military affairs is now
working on a plan for reaching neutrals of
military age who refuse to enlist With
treaty obligations and intricate points of
international law to be considered, it will
be no easy matter, but it is to be hoped that
way will be found to compel aliens to share
the burdens of the war While enioving
the privileges of residence in America, they
should be willing to meet the demands
made upon American citizens-if unwil-

NAVY HAS EFFICIENT SYSTEM.

The bureau of supplies and accounts of
the navy was lauded highly on the floor
OF the house last week when Representa-
tive Britten opposed the plan for placing
the purchase of supplies for the navy I'M
der the direction of the council of defense
The systems of supplying the army and the
navy were compared to the advantage Of
the latter. 1t was shown that Admiral Nc
Gowan has built up the most efficient organ
1zation in the world, each department in
charge of a skilled expert and that the
America sailors get their supplies with re-
markable celebrity and few delays, regard
less of wnere they may be located
Admiral MCGOWAN has eliminated RED
tape to an unusual degree and has adopted
a system which simplifes the heretofore
intricate and complicated process of sup
plying large mobile forces without confu-
sion or delay and at low expense.
With such an organization as the navy
has established, it would Seem most I'm
wise to transfer it's duties to an inexperi-
enced body, which would require months
to build up an efficient system

LOCAL MOTORISTS
WILL MEET TODAY

At four o'clock this afternoon the
local motorists will meet in the
Chamber of Commerce to discuss tho
proposed city taxes on automobiles
and to formulate plans for opposing
the levy. Though the meeting is
called by DR.. Louis DEM. Blocker,
President of the automobile associa-
ton, a cordial invitation is issued to
every car owner in Pensacola, and
everyone who is interested in the
matter is urged to be present.
The contention arose over the pro-
posal of the city to levy tax in adj
dition to the state tax, and the mo-
torist claim that the wording of the
state law makes it illegal for any
other levy to be made.

One Hundred and Seventy-Seventh Day
of America in the War.
IN APPRECIATION.

Journal readers are indebted to the Pen
sacola aeronautic station for the Associa-
ted Press dispatches printed yesterday
morning. They were relayed from New
Orleans by radio and forwarded to The
Journal by telephone, through the courtesy
of the naval authorities and of the radio
operators. The radio also carried Persia
cola's first report of the storm to the outside
world and allayed the fears in many quar-
tiers that the hurricane had wrought great
disaster here.
The splendid spirit of cooperation which
prompted this valuable service is deeply
appreciated and will long be gratefully re-
membered by the people of Pensacola and
by The Journal

are spending their first season here.
A program of music, interesting talks

AIRPLANE AMBULANCES.

The latest of the many marvellous de-
velopments of the war is the airplane am
buance, which has just been successfully
tested in France and accepted as an i'm
portant adjunct of the army
Alrplane ambulances will be used for
transporting severely wounded soldiers to
hospitals. Their great speed will insure the
injured men more prompt surgical atten-
ton than is possible with the vehicles now
IN general use, and the perfect equilibrium
OF the machines will spare the sufferers all
unnecessary pain from jolting.
The new ambulance is an American idea
it was perfected by American aviators and
surgeons attached to the army medical ser
vice, and is also another contribution of
American genius to the winning of the
war.

Americans to serve in the Mexican armv

THE AUTO TAX CONTROVERSY

The proposal of the city to impose tax
on automobiles in addition to the state tax
provided by the last legislature, has quite
naturally brought forth a storm of pro-
test Pensacola auto owners cannot I'm
derstand why they should be called upon
to pay higher license than residents of
Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and other
Florida cities. They maintain that the
wording of the >w is clear 1t reads:
fee p sa '?a e
i p or that an eees and
to s at ef ana
REPRESENTATIVES, may charge addtiona License tax on
shall exceed nifty cent Of the state license
The city contends that the state has at
tempted to usurp rights vested in the munic-
ipalty under its charter, which was granted
as a special act of the legislature, and that
no such act may be repealed unless specific
ally referred to in the repeating law. The
city claims further that the state law IS St1S
tanned in will work a grave injustice IN that
it will deprive csc city of needed revenue
without return, as part of the state tax
is applied to the maintenance of city streets,
Each side in the controversy believes it's
contention to be sustained by supreme
court decisions. each side is equally posi-
tive that it is right.
1t seems unjust to impose a double ana
discriminative tax upon the motorists of
Pensacola, and equally unjust to deprive
the city treasury of revenues for up-keep
of the streets used by autos owned here.
AS the question has resolved itself into
q fine point of law, a test case should be
made at once and carried to the supreme
court for decision. Meanwhile, local auto
lists should pay the local tax and the city
should give positive assurance that in event
of the local license being declared illegal
the amounts paid for license beyond De-
cember 81 will be refunded promptly and
without process of law.

LIBERTY BONDS
Superintendent Wants
More Money Invested,

r II. Wilson, state superintendent OF
schools and a member Of the school land
commission, is in favor OF investing as
much school land money in Liberty
bonds as possible. Mr. Wilson was out
of the city yesterday when the commiS-
sion subscribed 100000 in Liberty
bonds, but says he approves the action
and will vote at the meeting next ucS-
day to subscribe $4,000 or more in
"rhere is little difference in buying
j liberty bonds which draw 4 percent and
leaning money Non mortgages at ) per
cent" said Mr.. Wilson. "Of oourSe the
state should retain enough money to
take care of farmers who want loans,
but applications for loans from farmers
are dropping off, because the farmers
have money, II costs the state about
of | percent to lend money, 50
the difference is only about one half oi
| percent and the state can waive this
small amount to help the government

done Mr. Wilson does not know but he
