FOE TO AID PEACE

Austria some time since. wanted to
have q meeting place In. Holland for
a peace conference This was the
sole information fortheopinE here
last night with respect TO Teuton
press reports that Holland had been
asked to assist in arranging a peace
conference.
The feeler to Holland anent 4 meet

tria put forth her "nonbinding" peace
session note. Nothing ever came of
IL, because President Wilson promptly
scotched the peace effort by q quick
rejection.
State Department advices yester-
day showed that Germany has print

last speech on war aims, the censor
having given 1t out only in frag-

Government authorities doubt that
Holland will lend her good offices to

conclusion that Germany will make
new and desperate moves for peace

FLORIDA GOVERN OR.
FIGURES IN QUIET.
EXCITING INCIDENT

Hearst newspapers throughout the
country are featuring the following dis
patch from kalamazoo, Mich, which
appeared in the Boston American,
prominently displayed in a box under
a two-column heading:
Kalamazoo, Mich.-As a result Of a
speech which Governor Sidney j. Cats
of Florida delivered-or rather attempt
ed to deliver-here that commonwealth
came dangerously near having to hold
q special election to fill a vacancy.
1.-The Florida Governor announced
that he would make speech on una
dulterated Americanism. Before he got
started someone in the crowd asked
fairn why he wore no Liberty Bond but
ton He could not answer and the
crowd refused to allow him to speak.
when the excitement died down and
most of the crowd had disappeared,
Governor Cats spoke for ten minutes
OF Fed Cross work"
Local friends of the governor say the
dispatch is unfair, as he had probably
bought a Liberty Bond but had neg
lected to get a button or was unable
to do so because of their scarcity.

Makers of Dreams" Pleasing

audience We're almost deceived.
AS the Maker of Dreams" Miss
Norma Holt was the personifcation
of the part she portrayed. In her
scene with Pierrot, when she tells
him of how dreams come to nestle in
the heart, she came very close to her
audience.
The play is charming. The setting
was good. The management was ex-
cellent. 1t is not too much to say
that those who miss the performance
today will regret it, when they have
heard from others of the charm that
one cannot tell, but which is con-
veyed In the exquisite story to beau
tifully portrayed.
Music sby the navy band and a pa
triotic film added much to the in
terest of the play which will be re-
peated this afternoon at the Garden
theatre at $50 o'clock. AS it is ex-
pected that the attendance will be
very great, it is hoped that all will
try to be on time, that the audi
ence may be promptly seated.
Several musical numbers will add
to the interest of the program, and
an unusually good film will be pre-
scented.

Exquisite in its conception and with
all the charm and elusive quality OF
an old ballad. loved of time, was the
Maker of Dreams which was given
last night at the Bonita Theatre, and
the two audiences which witnessed
the quaint and charming playlet
were not only enthusiastic in their
praise of the play itself, but gave
to those who took the three well
balanced roles the highest commenda-
ton.
The lines had all the beauty and
fragrance of Spring itself, the time
of budding, of sweet, greening things,
even though set all in black and
white, with Pierette and Pierrot in
the foreground over whom the Maker
of Dreams" wove the magic spell
which brought the happy ending that
one wished for, when the realization
came that under Pierette's sweet
gayety, tears were only half-hidden-
One of the exquisite bits of the play
was when Pierette sang her sad little
song, before the open fire, as she
waited for the return of Pierrot, who
had left her to seek another.
And if Pierette was girlishly charm
ing, Pierrot, her partner who sought
near him,-this temperamental,
grumpy churlish fellow. with so much

Dreams" the one who came slipping
SO quietly into the little home, sitting
in so friendly fashion before the
glowing hearth-the hearth kept by
Pierette-and brought a spell which
.he cast upon the audience, teaching
those who saw and listened, to be-
lieye that dreams do come true-the
dreams that steal into the hearts to
make people better and happier.

NEW BRANCH HOUSE

A j. Edmonston, of Washington, ID.
c.. a prominent travelling man, and one
who has a number OF friends in Pen
sacola, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Edmonston was here in the in
terest of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool
Co.. truck department, looking to the
establishment of a distributing agency
for this territory in Pensacola. His
principal line is that OF the Little Giant
truck, the truck that is playing such
an important part in solving transpor-
tation problems at the present time.
Mr.. Edmonson was particularly i'm
pressed with the growth of our city
within the past four years, noting par
ticularly the expansion OF the business
section, and said that he was pleased
to see concrete evidence OF reports of
the city's growth that he heard else
where.
Il am always glad to know when l
am headed Pensacolaward, said MFR.
Edmonston, somehow the good water
the pure fresh air, cool breezes and
general atmosphere get hold on a
fellow that he can't get away from"
Mr. Edmonston was called to Mobile
last evening, but will very likely re-
turn to Pensacola during the early part
of next week

1t was announced yesterday that the
street railway company will probably
serve the people who patronize the re-
sort with car service several blocks
nearer than is now possible. The line,
IL is said, will lead north on Sixteenth
avenue to Fourteenth street, east on
Fourteenth to Twentieth avenue ana
south on that avenue to the water.
Should this work be done early IN the
season, the park will probably receive
the heaviest patronage Of any season
in the past. 1t was understood by the
commissioners that this change in car
line would be done ats very early
date.

Protected Loft Building

Burglars who are silk experts eluded

and got plunder valued at $4,000 from
various firms, including one in the
Hess Building, at 354 Fourth Avenue,
which is the home of the Silk Associa-

robbery.
The Hess Building has long been
considered burglar proof. Watchmen
and private patrolmen guard every
floor at night. SO strict is the guard
that burglar alarms are dispensed with
as superfuous. Nevertheless, several
thousand dollars worth of silk were
stolen recently from Lang, Carl g. Hoff- :
man on the ninth floor, while T. j..
Mitchell & Co, on the fourteenth floor,
were robbed several weeks ago.

In every case the burglars are be-
