 T hope and believe that l am in as my own when l say that. our duty concerning the debate and misunder- standings that have arisen in cOnnec- ton with the ship building program ought to be settled without regard. to our personal preferences or our per sonal feelings altogether and with the single purpose of doing what will be pest to serve the public interest.
 No decision we can now arrive at would eliminate the clements of contro- versy that have creDt into almost every question connected with the program; and 1 am convinced that the only wise course is to begin afresh-not upon the program, for that is arready in large part in process of execution but upon the further execution of it.
 T have found both you and General Goethals ready to serve the public at a personal sacrifice. Realizing that the only manner in which the way can be completely cleared for harmonious and effective action is to carry our snip building plans forward from this point through new agencies, General Goe- thals has put his resignation in my hands, and l have accepted it in the same spirit in which it was rendered. not as deciding between two men whom | I respect and admire, but in order to make snvidious decisions unnecessary | and let the work be developed without i further discussion of what is past
 q am taking the liberty of writing to tell you this in the confidence that you will be glad to take the same dis interested and self-forgetting course | that General Goethals has taken. 'When you have done as he has done, I am sure that you may count with the utmost confidence upon the ultimate verdict of the people of the country with regard to your magnanious and unselfish view of public duty and upon 1 winning in the retrospect the same admiration and confidence that l have learned to feel for you.
 With much regard and very great appreciation of the large services you have rendered.

BRITISH COMMONS /, MOVES LARGEST WAR CREDIT YET
 
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, July 24.-MOving in the house of commons today a vote of credit for { $50 ,OOO, 900, the largest war credit yet asked, and bringing Great Britain's expenditure to the colossal total of { 5,292 100000. and Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, gave startling figures of the amazing growth of Great Britain's financial burden in the world war and empha- sized from the financial viewpoint alone the great importance of the United States entering the war as en- suring that the allies would not be de- prived of victory through lack of money.
 The house was astonished to learn that Great Britain's advances to the allies and dominions had already reached the huge total of more than { e1,000000, ,000. The daily war eXpen- allure, although it shows a substantial improvement over the figures given on May 9, when MT. Bonar Law asked for the last war credit, still approaches ! l,00OOOO daily and exceeds the bud get estimate by { 1000O00 daily, but comparing the last v days with the first 35 days of the financial year. the expenditure showed a reduction of a million daily.
 In an interesting reference to the United States MT. Bonar Law said:
 When America entered the struggle we realized that. a great change had come over the allies financial strength President Wilson was slow. and in my Judgment, rightly slow, in bringing his country to the vortex of this terrible war, but having come in he has shown by his speeches in the dearest way that he is determined to throw the whole weight of the nation he heads into the scale. I am sure that although naturally it takes time to make the financial arrangement need ful Tn war like this. the president and the great nation he represents will deal Tn this matter with the same spirit of generosity, or rather of realization of what the whole issue means, as has been shown by England and that we can rely on receiving in the United States resources which are necessary to pay for supplies of all kinds required by the allies"
 After Reginald McKenna, eX-chan- cellor of the eXchequer, warned the government of the necessity of curtail- ing unnecessary expenditure the gen eral debate had no great interest, the main feature being strong criticism by John Dillon and others of the Saloniki expedition. MT. Dillon referred to rumors that Serbia was intending to make separate peace with Austria and demanded that the government say whether Serbia was to be deserted
 Lord Robert Cecil, minister of block ade, replying, characterized Mr. Dn- Ions charges as absolutely untrue.
 The war credit was agreed to and the house adjourned

JEWS RAISE MORE
 THAN FIVE MILLIONS

The American Jewish Relief Com mittee has announced that in the last six months it had raised $5125,- 600 for the relief of Jewish suffeTers in the war zones of Europe. The committee is pledged to raise $10,- 900, 000 before November 1 next Jacob Billikopf of Kansas City, eX- ecutive director of the committee, in making public the figures, pointed out that the total gwen was exclu- sive of the 10 per cent on all contri- mutions which Julius Rosenwald o1 Chicago offered to give, uu to any individual contribution of T ,000 000 The report shows that as a result of the campaign carried on through out the nation this year, nearly 106 cities have exceeded, so far. the com bined contributions made by them in 1915 and 1916 by from 25 to several hundred per cent
 Among the cities that have con- tributed this year are Kansas City, Mo, $S0,0O0; Cincinnati s165.000, Cleveland $1S,000, Detroit s300,000, Indianapolis $60,000 St Paul $35,000, Minneapolis $65, 900, St Louis $100,- 000. Philadelphia $200,0O0, Pittsburgh $100,000, Chicago $72O,00O New York $1,000, 900.
 The committee from it's New York headquarters, has supplied speakers and propaganda material to hundreds of cities, and MT Billikopf expresses the conviction that the $10,000,e0 sought will shortly be reached if New York City. in which there has not yet been an intensive campaign does it's proportionate share in the fall, when such a campaign is to be held. The report lays stress upon the fact that New York should raise s4,000,000, according to it's Jewish population and wealth.
 MT. Bililkopf's report impresses upon those engaged in Jewish wal relief work that the needs of the situation have not diminished and that tho money which is raised is being disposed for the aid of the Jews not only in Palestine, but ir Russia and other zones.

NEW YORK VISITOR
LANDS lib TROUT

w. Fl. Palmer, of Pleasantville, N.
Y, has been going to the East Coast
of Florida for some years, but this
winter decided to come to Pensacola
and stay a few weeks. He is glad he
came for several reason, one of which
is the feat of landing a trout larger
than had been known to make his
home in Bayou Texar. This fish, on
an accurate scale, yesterday weighed
seven pounds and two ounces. This
was about as large fish of this type
ever caught in the bayou, old fisher
men stating that it was the largest
they ever had known to have been
taken there.
Mr.. Palmer is stopping at 1900 East
Cervantes street, and early Tuesday
morning started out to try his hand
in the waters of the bayou named.
He was trolling up near the Bars
place, when the fish took the minnow
and in short order was transferred
from his native element in the bayou
to the basket carried by the New
York man, who resides where biz
card weather prevailed while he fish
ed in his shirt sleeves in the land of
flowers. Of course he is a booster for
Pensacola fishing, especially "when
done by men who know how to fish"
he is reported to have remarked.

SAN BIAS BUOY To
Be RE-EsTABL|SHED

Cape San Bias buoy, which has been
changed recently, will shortly be
placed in regular order, and for the
present a temporary whistllng buoy
has been placed there. Covering the
intentions of the lighthouse district,
Inspector B. B. Derry has issued the
following:
"Cape San Bias, outer shoals and
bell buoy, 80, temporarily changed to
gas and whistling buoy January II,
during repairs; gas and bell buoy will
be replaced as soon as practicable.
By orders of the commissioner of
lighthouses"
This is light which local shipping
has known and used for many years,
and special attention is called to the
change above noted, but which, it is
stated, is only temporary.
