Instructions Are Sent to Ad- jutants General of All States Where To Mobilize In Case of War.
ALSO PLAN CALL FOR
 MILITIA RESERVES
Every Military Man in Coun. try Is Held For Call By War Department At Min utes Notice.
(By Review Leased Wire)


 WASHINGTON, March 16.-In pre- paration for any demand upon the army that may grow out of the Ger man crisis, the militia bureau of the war department has sent precaution- ary instructions to all state adjutants general outlining the plan to be fol- lowed should the national guard be called for federal service.
 Preparatory to Call.
 The intention had been to take this step quietly and without publicity, but reports indicating that it was being construed as meaning that mobiliza- tion was imminent caused department officials to announce the instructions with the explanation that they consti- tuted a routine measure of prepared ness necessary to prevent such con fusion as attended the assembling of guardsmen for border service, if a call should come
 Hold All Troops Ready.
 In this connection it was pointed out that the government is going to considerable expense to demobilize regiments returning from the border and which would be held in the fed eral service if another demand for their services were expected i'm mediately. It was reiterated that the policy of the administration in the present status of the crisis was to make no move that could be construed as warlike step. This policy is un. derstood to be the reason that mobil- ization of the navy has not been or dered. Many navy officials have favor ed that step, but it has not been ap- proved by the administration.
 Where to Mobilize.
 The circular of instructions advises the adjutants general specifically of the national guard organizations in each state which would be summoned in case of a call. Mobilization under the plan outlined would be conducted by the regular army departmental commanders which would be author ized to designate sites for mobiliza- tion camps other than those formerly used, If necessary, and to make pro- visions for shelter. recruitment and the formation of the recruit training battalions. in the eventuality of war"

 No units except those designated would be accepted and each unit would be required to have the full maximum authorized. or war. strength as prescribed for the regular army in the national defense act
 All to Be Federalized.
 The circular also makes clear that there is to be no dual status for the national guard in the federal service hereafter. No individual will be ac- cepted who has not taken the oath pre- scribed by the national defense act At the time of the border mobilization about 10000 men were held under the old Dick bill provisions. classified as members of the organized militia. not of the national guard.

China's Action Shows Friend.

 Not Expected To Be Fol- lowed By War Now.
(By Review Leased Wire)

PEkIN, "Wednesday, March H. The German minister to China and his staff and also all the German con suls in the country were handed their passports at noon today. A note ac- companying the passports explained that the German reply to China's sub marine warfare protest was unsatisfac- tory. The passports. the note added, were ''for protection while leaving Chinese territory"
 WASHINGTON, March 16.--China's severance of relations with Germany is not expected here to lead to any further development at this time. un- less Germany sees in the seizure of the German ships and sailors and the uncertainty of obtaining safe con- duct for her former officials cause for a declaration of war. Unless Ger many decides to make a move, the Chinese government will stand in it's present position, at least until the United States has taken another step.
 It is not believed here that China will accept the entente's invitation to enter the war as an active participant unless the terms offered by the entente become so attractive as to outweigh opposition to such step as at pres ent laid down. All nine of the cabinet officers have been educated abroad and are particularly anxious that China shall uphold the best principles of in- ternational law.
 Minister Reinsch and the German minister at Pekin both contributed materially to China's severance of relations with Germany according to information here. The former pre- scented President Wilson's note urging neutrais to follow Americas action while the German minister presented a communication to the effect that he did not believe China would take such a step. Between the two. it is now learned. China felt was only one course open and a severance was agreed upon just as soon as negotia- tions between China and this country were finished.

about one hundred aud twenty

lone, 'the number to be increased as
the work advances. These plants will
mean much to this region in many
ways. The country is in need of
such vessels as will be built at the
Bagdad and Millville plants, and later
possibly in Pensacola, and the move
ment should not only be looked upon
as a good business venture, but is in
line with the patriotic movements all
over the United States, each section
of the country endeavoring to do a
part to aid the country in the indus
trial development which will mean so
much at this time"
At these plants the large freight
boats will not be built. but smaller
vessels for coastwise and island work.
Because of the diversion of the regu-
lar shipping from the coastwide trade
there is a heavy demand for boats of
this character.

POSTOFFICE SCHOOL
INCREASES EFFICIENCY

The Pensacola postoffice has been
repeatedly commended by inspectors
to the department at Washington for
its high degree of efficiency, which
averages above IS per cent, but Post
master Hancock, not satisfied with
anything short of perfection, is max
ing plans for a postoffice school,
which the employees of the office will
attend. The curriculum will include
every branch of the work of the of
flee, with the clerks in the different
divisions taking turns as teachers.
Rewards of merit will be given those
who show the greatest efficiency and
dement's scored against those who
make the careless little errors which
sometimes creep into even the best
regulated postoffices, to the annoy
znce of patrons and distraction of the
postmaster. The employees have en-
tered heartily into the spirit of the
school and are awaiting announce
ment of the session schedule.
