ALIEN RESIDENTS
AND CONSCR|PTlON

Great Britain has issued call to
the 100000 of their subjects to rally
to the British colors, and all from 18
to As are liable to conscription by
their government; and the United
States has rendered to the British re-.
cruiting mission the free use of it's en-
listing machinery so as to put the
British government to no trouble in
finding it's men.
Lieutenant M. G. Bridges has sent
out thois warning from the British mis-
sion headquarters in this country
"While affording this opportunity for
voluntary enlistment, it must always
be remembered that the law of ma
tons does not recognize man with
out country, and that every man
who enjoys the privileges of citizen
ship has corresponding obligations to
fulfill. It will be the object of both
countries to insure that there is no
escape from these obligations. I con-
slider that measures will be taken to
this end"
In much of the Britain the con-
scription has been in force heretofore,

The people Il this civ and county
certainly responded . Tie call Of our
Tuesday. While il was anti
cipated that it would be a big day,
the patriotism Of our citizens and the
large list Of registrations surpassed
all estimates. The fact that in con-
nection with registration day arrange
ments had been made for q big Nom
Partisan League meeting to be held
here, brought .rowds Of people from
far and near. Auto loads of people
began to arrive carly and before noon
there was probably the largest crowd

Women's Relief Corps, Red Cross,
Commandery Masons il uniform, the
members Of the Elks lpdge, register

and citizens. The parade was nearly
a mile long, and not only went to show
the spirit in which all entered into the
program laid oat for The day Of reg
istration. Il was one the most or
derly crowds ever j. seem assembled.
The police did not have to- make one
arrest during the day, nor was there
an inkling of trouble.
After the parade there was speak

and as this place was entirely made
quate to hold the crowd which was

Governor Frazier, Townley, Bowen,
Thomasson and Baer, who has recent

to give complete account of the days

AUTOS MUST Be
REGISTERED : (

Owners of automobiles in Ramsey
county, who are operating their cars
without registration tags, had better
beware. Sheriff Olsen is on the trail
of the tagless auto, and also of the
dealers who are operating, demon
strator cars without a demonstrator
license.
Secretary of State Thomas Hall, is
waging strenuous campaign, against
the unlicensed cars in the state, and
the various county sheriffs are heart
lily cooperating with him. Irving VI
Wan, special agent of the state de-
partment was in Devils Lake last
week to enlist the cooperation of
Sheriff Olsen, in the fight against un-
licensed cars. It wasn't necessary to
conscript the sherig as he was more
than ready to get after the auto slack
ers.
There are still hundreds Of cars in
the state which have not been regis
tered. The total registration howev-
er, is $4,000 over the total number Of
cars registered in 1916.
The law this year requires that two
tags be displayed, one at each end of
the car. Dealers must also secure a
special dealers license for every indi-
vidual line of cars handled. Extra
tags for demonstration cars can be Sc
cured at fifty cents set, but are not
transferable to cars of different make.
Sheriff Olsen will have the backing
of States Attorney Rollo Hunt in his
campaign against the tagless car
Owners have had ample time now to
have their cars registered, and tags
are being shipped promptly on re-
ceipt of application, by the state de-
partment, so that there is no furthe,
excuse for operating cars without 9
registration license.

COMMISSION DISSC)LVES

New York, Jan. 15-The Mexican
American joint commission which
failed to effect an adjustment of the
differences between the two coun-
tries after four months conferences,
formally dissolves today.
The American members told the
Mexicans that they recommended to
President Wilson the dispatch to
Mexico of Ambassador Fletcher and
the withdrawal of Pershing's expe-
dition.
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution
of the commission the Mexican prob
lem would be reverted to President
Wilson. They were careful not tc
place in the minds of the Mexicans
the conviction that the president
would accept their recommendation
that Pershing be withdrawn, but the
intimation that he would do so was
conveyed.

Says Gun Was Loaned BY u.

cept At Water Parade.

State Shellfish Commissioner +. K.
Hodges arrived in the city yesterday
morning from Tallahassee, ano went
on board the state steam patrol boat
Roamer and will be in and around
Pensacola for several days, making
an inspection OF the fish and oyster
business.
A Journal reporter saw Commits
sioner Hodges on board the Roamer
a few hours after his arrival and ask
ed for an interview regarding the re-
moval of the two guns from the ship.
in speaking Of the matter, Commits
sioner Hodges said:
"After conference between Gov
ernor Cats, Commissioner of Agri-
culture McRae and myself, it was de-
cided best to remove the two one
Founders from the decks Of the Roam
err, which was done Immediately upon
my arrival -s4is morning.
"These guns We're loaned 10 the
state of Florida by the United States
Government and were placed on the
Roamer for defense rather than of
Tense as great many threats had
been made to blow her up and kin the
commissioner and crew. | experienced
considerable difficulty in securing a
crew for the Roamer on account Of
these threats.
when we first put the patrol boat
in service a feeling existed among
the fishermen that they were being
imposed upon, but this feeling has
about subsidized and a large majority
of the fishermen believe in the con
servation of the fish and oyster in
dustry and the enforcement of the
laws governing same"
Commissioner Hodges declared that
he had been friendly toward the fish
ermen at all times and at no time
had anyone spoken an unkind word to
him during his administration of the
department for the past three years.
When asked if anyone had ever
been fired upon by the guns mounted
on the Roamer, Mr.. Hodges replied:
"No, we have never found it necessary
to even point gun at anyone. The
guns have only been used in firing
salutes during water parades at
Tampa and Apalaehicola since we
| have had them"

CITY GRANTslWI[L DISCUSS
ANDF0RD0CK TAX DISTRICT
Meeting Will Be Held in
Armory Tonight to Urge
Election.

A meeting of the Parent Teachers
Association will be held tonight in
the Arnory Hall at eight O'Clock
when the matter of creating a special
tax district will be discussed. The
association at meeting held several
weeks ago decided to wage an active
campaign in support of the movement
and thirty petitions were distributed
among as many members to be circu-
lated in an effort to have an election
called to decide the question.
Unusual Importance is added to the
meeting as the burning of the high
school leaves the city without high
school building and forces crowded
condition in the Clabbs building. All
interested in building high school
for Pensacola are urged to attend
the meeting tonight.
That the board of public instruction
cannot undertake to rebuild the struc-
ture burned Sunday was the state
ment to The Journal yesterday by G,
j. Levey, chairman of the board. Mr..
Levey stated that the county board
was without funds except those need
ed to operate the present system OF
schools, and is without authority to
incur indebtedness.
al believe" said Mr.. Levey, that
the temporary arrangement made by
the board will be satisfactory, but
they cannot continue indefinitely as
the proportionate increase in attend
ance each year, would soon have rem
dered the facilities, even in the former
high school building, inadequate.
1.-THE board has no official interest
in the creation of the special tax dis
trict," he continued, that is ques-
ton left entirel to the people of Pen
sacola.
II realize that the present arrange
ment, in holding two schools in one
building, viii inconvenience some stu
dents, but | do not think-<tnat the
work as a whole viii suffer. In fact
in some states, it is the regular sys-
tenn to do all the preparation of les
sons outside of the school, and con-
tinue the session without interruption
until all recitations are made. think
that this system has even been found
better than the regular one, but as tC
that | cannot say. However, it is tht
only thing that we can do at the pres
ent time. and ] believe that with the
cooperation of the teachers and stu
dents it can be made to work success
fully"
