BIG ACTION FILED
IN FEDERAL COURT

Action was instituted in the Fed
erai court yesterday by John A.
Carlton, citizen of the state of
Georgia, and the Gateswood Naval
Stores Company, q corporation. ex-
listing under the laws of the state OF
Alabama, against The West Florida
Naval Stores Company, in an effort
to recover approximately $50. 900
which the plaintiffs claim the de-
PENDANT owes them.
The proceedings, it is stated, grew
out Of a mortgage given by the
Gatewood company to G. F. Taylor
to secure a debt owed him, but which
the company claims was later set
tied, and the mortgage returned,
though it was afterwards foreclosed
by the defendant.
J The plaintiff claims that it trans
acted business through the defend-
ant company for some time, and that
Il sold a large amount of naval
stores for it, aggregating $4,000,
but that when payment was demand
ed, refused to remit.

May Postpone Austrian
War Declaration
CONTINUED from First Page)

"wilfu1 twelve" and stout opponent OF
the governments war plans until war
actually was declared, will pilot the
Austrian war resolution through the
senate as spokesman for the admins
tration.
Since war actually was declared on
Germany, Senator Stone repeatedly has
announced that the government has
his full unequivocal support and the
administration was so pleased with his
attitude that it was decided that as
chairman Of the foreign relations COM
mittee he should have charge of the
Austrian war resolution. Senator
Hitchcock, the next Democrat of the
committee handled the German war
resolution.
Senator Stone conferred today with
state department officials preparatory
to a conference of the foreign relations
committee.
MAY AMEND RESOLUTION.
The sentiment for including Turkey
and Bulgaria in the list Of recognized
enemies persisted and there was
promise OF some attempt to amend the
resolution. The committee Of both
houses. however will be guided by the
state department in the language of
the resolution and II the administra-
ton has it's way as It probably will,
Turkey and Bulgaria will be left for
the time when they come directly in
the path OF Americas action against
Germany, as the president expressed
it in his address yesterday.
While congress Is working on the
actual declaration of war the execu-
are setting in motion the machinery
which will make the declaration effec-
tive
The department of justice began
taking steps for disposition of the
great number OF alien enemies the war
declaration will create.
BIG JOB AHEAD.
The job is much more difficult than
it was in the case of Germany. There
are in the United States many SUBJ
jects of Austria Hungary who are op-
posed to that government and sympa-
thize with the cause of the United
States. Many of them are czechs,
Bohemians and others of the races
which have been oppressed by the
Austrian government. Many of them.

countrymen and their realization of
national aspirations have Joined the

is evident that some sort of an eX-
ception will be made for them. as the
government hardly wishes to treat
them as enemies, and still wishes to
protect itself as far as possible
The department of labor. which has

ing with the enemy act, faced a new
tack but as they already have created
the machinery for dealing with such
a situation, a new war declaration ac-
tually only involves extensions of
steps already taken.
To official Washington, the declara-
ton of war on Austria. is secondary in
interest to President Wilson's state
ment of Americas war aims. 1t is
considered at once reply to the peace
ideas of the marquis Lanedowne, and
an announcement to the world that
peace can only come with the destruc-
ton of Prussian autocracy and repara-
ton for the havoc it has wrought.
Declaration of war on Austria is
also regarded as the signal for the
extension of American help to hard
pressed Italy. Officials and diplo-
mats believe that it will not only
hearten and strengthen the Italian
people facing the ravages of the in l.
vader, but that it also forecasts the
sending of substantial help to them.
With a declaration of war on Aus
tria, the United States is left free to
aid Italy as an ally in the fullest
sense.
