Ferry Pass communities will be held
tonight in the school building at Fer
ry Pass at 1880 when plans will be
discussed to form a local organiza-
ton for cooperative marketing SINH
lar to those which are being formed
in other parts of the county.
The county organization has beer
formed and temporary officers elect

titled to representation on the boarc
of directors, and it is hoped that every
community in the entire county viii

the crops of Escambia farmers by cal

possible to the individual farmers.

POLICE HAVE
4 SHAKE UP
TWO CAPTAINS REDUCED; ONE
RESIGNS-DIDNT KNOW LUTZ
WAS BACK, CAUSE OF IT
ALL.

Police Captain Frank Wilde. who
has been attached to the local depart
ment for about twenty-five years, and
Police Lieutenant w. L. Gilmore, who
has been in the department for about
ten years, were deposed from those
respective positions last evening in d
letter which they received from Po-
lice Commissioner Frank D. Sanders,
for neglect of duty"
Captain Gilmore Immediately re
signed from the department and made
the announcement that he would con-
fine his activities in the future to the
dairy business, having purchased the
Magnolia dairy, which he will operate.
Captain Wilde is simpl.. reduced to
ranks, and has not severed his con-
nection with the department. 1t IS
thought he will be placed in the sta
ton, although no plans in that re-
gard were made public last night.
Motorcycle Officer Tarrants was
last night placed in charge of the
| night watch. He assumed his duties
| Immediately upon reporting for duty
! at o'clock, and Immediately succeed
ed to the office and powers just va
| Gated by Captain Gilmore.
Patrolman A. J. Anderson will this
morning assume the captaincy of the
| department. Captain Anderson has
been connected with the department
! for many years. Resigning some time
since he went north, but always re-
tanned his citizenship here. He is
widely known in this city, where he
has spent most of his life.
There are a number of other
changes, it is said, contemplated in
the department, but Police Commits
sioner Sanders had nothing to say in
this question last night.
From a source which is regarded as
authoritative, what brought about
charg esof neglect of duty" against
at least one of the officers was the
fact that E. Lutz returned to the city
and it was not known to the police
captain he was bac& until Commits
sioner Sanders saw and recognized
the prominent German citizen on the
streets about noon of Monday. "The
importance of knowing that Mr.. Lutz
had returned to the city is evj6MsAkc
by the later developments" C6mhlls
sioner Sanders stated. THE police
were under instructions to note anc
report his arrival Immediately, anc
when this was not done, regarded
it as important that change should
be made. That is all I care to say al
/ this time on the subject"

To the warning nations of the earth has come another appeal for peace from Pope Benedict

The pope's plan also calls for the re turn to German of all her colonies.
 Ir July. 1915, Pope Benedict made his first appeal for peace. At that time the pontiff invited all friends of peace to join with him in his desire to bring hostili- ties to an end Almost simultaneously with the latest appeal of Pope Benedict, China entered the ranks of the bellig- erents by formally declaring war upon Germany and Austria Hungary.

BANKHEAD WILL OFFER AMENDMENT
 ID REVENUE BILL
Alabama Senator Thinks Excess Profits Section as Now Drawn Is
 Not Fair
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, August h. Especial )-The opposition of Alabama senators to the revised revenue bill, presently pending, will be confined to that section which deals with excess profit taxation.
 The bill provides that excess war profits shall be those profits made in the current year in excess of the average profits made in 1911, 1912 and 1913.
 Senator Bankhead tomorrow will intro- duce an amendment in lieu of the excess profit section as 1t .aow exists. The Bankhead amendment would exclude from taxation only 3 per cent of profits made in the current year, and would con- tain no reference to or comparison with profits made previous to the war.
 In his address Senator Bankhead will attempt to prove that the bill as It now stands would collect excess profit taxa ton on a gamble He will contend that under the terms of the unamended bill a manufacturer who made big money prior to the war would not be burdened in com parison with the man who suffered lean years prior to the war and has now re- gained his footing.
 In his argument, Senator Bankhead win contend that instead of making big business pay for the war, the revenue bill would permit in it's excess profit sec ton, big business in great part to escape. This also is the contention of Representa- tive Kitchen, who has declared that the Senate revisions of the House bill re- lieves capital and imposes insufferabie burdens on the poor,
 With the views of Senator Bankhead, Senator Underwood is in accord The ex- cess profit provision, as it is now written, is expected to raise $500, ,0Oo 900 in revenue.

, of that empire. That status must be al- tered in such fashion as to prevent any
 such hideous thing from happening again.
 Two days later in his Flag Day ad- dress the President, referring to the military masters of Germany, said: If they can secure peace now with ths immense advantages still in their hands which they have up to this point
 apparently gained, they will have justi- fled themselves before the German peo- pie; they Will have gained by force what they promised to gain by it; an immense expansion of German power an immense enlargement of German in dustrial and commercial opportunities Their prestige will be secure and with ! their prestige their political power." In his war address to Congress the President declared for spending the whole force of the nation If need be to check and nullify the pretensions and power of the German military autocracy. This phrase, now universally accepted as the war aim of all the allies, the en- tente diplomats here contend hardly fits l in with a restoration of the status quo
 before the war; return of Germany's colonies and no restitution for Belgium The one point on which Germany might stick, diplomats feel is the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine. The provinces, be- cause of their mineral dep osits, are not only necessary to the economic exist
 ence of Germany, they say, but in the ] hands of France again would constitute a military menace to the whole German scheme on the western frontier. A neu- tial diplomat today ventured the opin-
 ion that Germany, beaten, would con cede all except the loss of Alsace-Lor-
 raine.
