WOMEN SIGN
FOR DEFENSE
OF C0UN RY
Fern Military Company
With 81 Enrollanents-
Drill Every Tuesday
A ENROLL IN THE
ECONOMICS BRANCH
Abolish Luxuries, Save AS
Much AS Possible, Is
Their Motto

At a mass meeting of the women
of Pensacola in the armory hall last
night, organization of a Women's
Defense League was begun. Patriotic
speeches were made and resolutions
were passed pledging the support of
the women of Pensacola to President
Wilson and the country in every way
possible, especially in economic
directions.
The women in the League divided
themselves into two classes or de-
partments, those wishing to take up
instruction work in military drill and
the use of small arms, and those
wishing to specialize in economics.
Ernest Caro-, F. T. billiard and r,
Hartman took charge of the organi-
zation of the military company, and
the course of instruction was begun
in small way last night. This COM
pany will meet in the Knights OF
Columbus hall next Tuesday night at
o'clock for drill.
The department in economics was
organized and Mrs. Walker Ingra-
ham elected president and Miss Julia
Bowes secretary.
Miss Marguerite Ingraham presid-
ed over the meeting. Miss Evanette
Robinson was the first speaker on the
program, and gave stirring talk on
preparedness for women. Miss Rob-
inson outlined the ways in which
women could materially assist the
country in this crisis, and stressed
the point that the military side OF
the question was no more serious
than the economic side and that il
was up to the women to practice
economy and in every way conserve
the resources of the country. Increase
the buying capacity of your income
said Miss Robinson, save the waste
products and have home garden.
Miss Margarita Moreno, represent.
ing the u. d. c., said that the Daugh.
tiers of the Confederacy could always
be depended on for loyal and patri
otto service to the country, and sug
gested that the women of Pensacola

Shell Fish Commissioner
Away From Governor
STAFF SPECIAL.

Tallahassee, April 1S.-When the
special order was called this morning,
and the bill to abolish the office of
state shell fish commissioner was
brought before the senate, the expect
ed sensation and debate over the act
did not materialize, though some OPP
position was shown. Senator Turner,
chairman of the committee, offered
an explanation of the bill, but the
chair called for motion, Senator
MacWilliams moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill, which is considered
equivalent to killing it, whereupon
Senator Calkins moved to adopt a
substitute, placing the bill on calen-
dar for Tuesday as special order.
The bill, substantially, takes the
power Of appointing and removing the
state shell fish commissioner from
the hands of the governor.
Would Sell Roamer.
Bearing on the same subject, Sena>
tor Oliver this morning introduced a
bill to sell the state shell fish COM
mission stetxner, Roamer, which has
just been drafted into the service of
the United States. T.c bill was re-
ferred to the committee on game and
fisheries.
Liquor Amendment.
Favorable reports BY the temper
ence committee this morning included
the amendment to the Davis package

act last week. Senator Davis claims
that the adoption of the amendment

Other temperance measure favorably
reported was the bill of Senator
Moore, prohibiting the advertisement
or solicitation of orders for liquor.
The Sunday closing law, introduced
by Senator Andrews, prohibiting the
showing of moving pictures and all
other amusements, either in or out
of doors, on Sunday, was reported adj

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
IS VERY POSITIVE
Was Not Even Salute Be
tween American and
Allied Ships, Stated
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Boston, April 18.-Reports of
heavy gunfre at the entrance OF
Massachusetts, Bay sent thrill
along the coast today. Three coast
guard stations on Cape Cod success
sively reported to the navy yard that
they had counted distinct and re-
peated guns from the north and
northeast off the tip of the cape.
1t is believed at the navy yard
that American vessels were engaged
with the enemy.
No warship was sighted by the
three stations, and after thirty min
utes the firing ceased.
1t was suggested that allied patrol
ships might have come up with
friendly warships and salutes ex-
changed. However, naval men could
not understand warships on active
duty betraying their location through
naval etiquette.
Attempts to learn something def.
mite failed. Meantime stems wer,
taken to meet any emergency.
Heavy Gunfire Reported.
The first report reached Lieutenan

MUS HAVE
CONSUMPTION
Will Be Adopted IF The
Volunteer Plan
Fails
az AssoC1ATED Press.

Washington, April 18.-The mill
tary committee of the house today,
by a vote of IL to s, adopted an
amendment to the administration bill
raising the new war army, providing
a trial of the volunteer plan first,
and draft system to be resorted to
only if the volunteer plan fails. An
attempt will be made to pass it in the
house tomorrow. The senate today
accepted the administrations draft
plan, and will probably pass it to-
morrow, without waiting for the
houses action.
President Wilson has made it plain
he believes the draft system the only
safe plan for the nation, and is de-
termined to have it enacted. There
seems to be no doubt but that he
will appeal directly to the country, if
necessary, and tell them the national
safety depends upon the draft sys-
tenn.
