PHILADELPHIA. Jan. Speaking
before the Terrapin club here tonight
on the complaint Of the navy depart
ment against the high bids received
for warships. Eugene G. Grace. pres
ident Of the Bethlehem Steel COM
Dany said that his company had de-
termined to make an offer to the gov
crnment that II it will build two of
the four authorized battle cruisers in

pense. or commissions of any kind.
Also we will contract to have our
ships ready for service ahead Of the

Drawing attention to a letter writ
'@n nv the secretary of the navy to
the enairman Of the house committee
on naval affairs aslsing for an an
propriation of S12,000,000 to equip
navy yards to build the four ships.
Mr.. Grace said the REQUEST was made
without any assurance that the gov
eminent can build the cruisers cheaper
than private shipbuilders
1T would be real advantage 70

a patriotic Obligation in the matter
and we realize that it is our duty to
do everything we can to make out

use of the American government"
The policy of the navy department,
Mr.. Grace said, seems to embody an
effort to discourage private enterprise
and to divert all work for national
defense to government plants.

Swift Raiders Wreak Havoc
on Fleet of Conveyed
Craft in North Sea.
HUNS, HOWEVER,
LOSE 4 ZEPPELINS
Situation of Russian Fleet
! Pronounced Desperate and
Almost Hopeless.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
Germany again scored on the water
today, according to news reports
which recorded the breaking up of a
merchant convoy in the North sea
by raiding cruisers that sank two
British destroyers and nine of the
twelve conveyed ships. Germany
suffered little less than disaster in
air however. when four zeppelin
airships were brought down on French
territory by the airplanes gun fire.
The situation of the minor Russian
fleet, which was caught by Germans
in waters around the Riga Gulf, is
apparently desperate. Germans have
sown mines south of Moon Island to
block the exit of Russians there,
while they are closing the northern
route by operations for taking poses
sion of Dago island.
On the western front, artillery
battles are continuing both in the
Flanders and Aisne regions, but no
infantry operations of moment are
reported.

LIBERTY LOAN

NEXT SIX DAYS
Pensacola's Allotment of
$750,OO0 Far From Be-,
ing Subscribed.
EVERY PERSON IS
EXPECTED TO HELP
Less Than One-Third Thus
Far in Hand, and Much
Work Must Be Done.

The last lap of the campaign for
the sale of the Second Liberty Bond
Issue will begin on Monday morning,
and but six days remain until the
end of the campaign on Saturday,
October 9th.
Pensacola's allotment of this issue
Of bonds is $780, 900, and to meet
the expectations of the central COM
mittee at Atlanta it will be neces-
sary for the subcommittee who are
placing quotas of bonds to place ap-
proximately $3.50. 900 of bonds next
week, since up to noon of yesterday.
the subscriptions reported to the To-
cal committee totals approximately
5000, 900. OF this amount the Rotary
Club Team reported $4,000, and in
it the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road subscription of 100000 is in
cluded.
To make the campaign of the last
week an endless chain affair, the local
committee is asking that every per-
son who has already subscribed to a
bond constitute himself or herself a
VI OiS w oCSoAC iAoiIi thSAi
friends who have not subscribed a
purchaser for one or more bonds.
Our government, and by "our gov
ernment" is meant your government
and mine, has called upon us to do
our share towards making the Lib
erty Loan of 1917 a rousing sue
cess, not only because the govern
ment needs the proceeds of this
bond issue for the conduct of the
war, but because the overwhelming
success of the issue will have a most
telling psychological effect upon the
Huns. The uppermost, indeed the
only question which arises is: Have
you given the matter of this bond
issue your serious thought, and do
you fully realize the Importance Of
immediate action? In either case.
then, it is up to you to act-to buy
a bond of such a denomination as
your ability to pay, justifies.
Our allies are doing their full duty
toward the cause of justice and free
dom, and it is up to America to do
its full duty, and more. And GER
tainly Pensacola smust do hers.
All of the local subcommittee are
expected to predouble their efforts
during every day of the coming week,
and the local committee feel confident
that when the campaign closes next
Saturday Pensacola will have sub
scribed it's full allotment and per-
haps more.

BRIGHT AUTO LIGHT,
1T IS CLAIMED, WAS
CAUSE OF A COLLISION

A brilliant headlight, according to
an auto driver, was the cause of the
collision between the car driven by
W. NJ Goodson, of Gonzalez, and a
motorcycle. the property of w. G.
Allsip, which was standing on the
edge of Palafox street, just north of
the Blount street intersection. The
car of Mr.. Goodson was damaged to
the extent of a broken front wheel
and slight bending of the front axle,
and the motorcycle was almost COM
pietely wrecked.
Mr.. Goodson, telling of the acci-
dent to the police who Investigated
the trouble, stated that an approach
ing car carried an extremely brilliant
headlight, which rendered him almost
blind, and caused him to overlook the
stationary matorSycle at the side of
the street. He gave the number of
the car which he said carried the
bright light, and the matter is being
investigated.
