pose it wouldn't do much good to
dodge when they are on the way, but
a person will invariably do it. When
the enemy gets the range it is best
to hunt the dug-outs. I have had
a few bullets drop uncomfortably
close at times. One machine gun
sniper had our road located and he
used to cut loose now and then. We
had a few wounded but none killed
by the enemy.

| SUSPENSION OF
STATUTES ASKED
ALI Fishermen of State Must
Be Licensed, From and

Washington Bureau
The Pensacola Journa!
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, Feb 6-Thwarted in
its efforts to effect an agreement with
the State authorities of Florida to
have some provisions of the State
laws temporarily suspended in order
to bring about increased production
and better distribution of salt water
fish caught in Florida waters the Unit
ed States Food Administration will
shortly place some regulations in eff
feet that will make the Florida laws
restricting production entirely inoper-
ative.
The Food Administration sought to
effect agreements with the State au-
thorities of the coast states for the
temporary suspension of some state
laws curtailing production of fish. The
movement was started as long ago
as last September. Many of the
states readily agreed to the plan. but
Governor Cats of FLORIDA and Nr.
williams, the state Fish Commission
er turned a deaf ear 70 the urging
of the Food Administration.
Mild measures having in some in
stances been scorned the Food Ad-
ministration has arranged to have all
fishermen licensed after February 18th
and all state laws restricting pro-
duction suspended. This licensing
plan and complete control of the fish :.
ing industry was effected by the pres
ident's proclamation of January 10th.
A meeting will be held in Wash
ington on February 18th and 10Th of
the Food Administrators of the At
lantic states, the Fish Commissioners
of those states, and a number of fish
producers to consider the regulations
row being drafted to govern the fish
industry.
A statement issued By the Food Ad-
ministration in regard to the situa
tion in F1erida reads as follows:
The Food Administration can only
impose regulations on the catching
the licensing of all the salt water fish
in the various Atlantic Coast States
by affirmative action under the licens-
ing provisions of the law necessitating
the licensnf of all the sale water fish
ermen.
we have found that not only in
Florida but in most of the Atlantic
Coast states state and county laws
are greatly restricting the operation
of the fisheries, and that the Fish
Commissioners in some states, includ-
ing particularly Florida, have taken a
very narrowminded view of the situ-
alton, Notwithstanding the necessity
for increased production of fish, and
are endeavoring TO enforce local laws

PRESENT METHOD OF DIVIDED
AUTHORITY WHICH is SAID TO
BE INEFFICIENT BECAUSE OF
COMPLExITY, MAY BE FIXED.
Washington Bureau
The Pensacola Journal
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

Warrington, d. c., Feb. 6-Com-
plete control of all transportation fa-
cilities for the Army and Navy be-
tween the United States and Europe
should be turned over to the Navy
Department in place of the present
method of divided authority whuch is
inefficient because of its complexity,
1t was asserted today by Read Ad-
miral Thomas o. Selfridge. L. S. y.
returcd
Admiral Selfridge called attention to
the fact that authority under the
present method of transportation is
divided between the shipping board,
the army transports and ships officered
and manned by the navy.
Never before in the worlds history,
he said, has a nation undertaken such
a gigantic task as transporting and
maintaining an army of million men
three thousand miles from home.
The task is so enormous that the mind
fails to grasp its significance. Admiral
Selfridge said, and it is therefore no
wonder that Germany believes it can
not be done.
Germanys confidence that It can
not be done, he continued, comes from
her ignorance of the resources of
America and the indomitable spirit of
the American nation.
If America is TO perform success
fully this gigantic task, there is but
one practical method, and that is to
place all overseas transportation of
orr military forces under control of
the navy said Admiral Selfridge. II
cannot believe the army will object
to the navy relieving it of its great re-
sponsibility, too heavy to be borne
by the quartermaster department, al
ready heavily weighed with its duties
of producing and distributing supplies.
Neither do believe the shipping
board. composed of patriotic citizens,
will view with disfavor the transfer
of transportation to the navy when
employed solely in the over-sea move
ment of the United St1tes military
forces
Thh admiral proposes that there
should be four ports of embarfation,
New York, Boston. Philadelphia ami
Hampton Roads, and that piers at
each port should be provided of sufff-
cient length and proportion to allow
not less than ten steamers to dock
at the same time.
He complains that the shipping
board provides ships off1cered anG
manned by civilians, who, though they
receive very high pay, are undis-
ciplined and difficult to control
He suggests that if this plan were
adopted all vessels turned over to
the navy should be manned exclusive
1y by officers and men of the regular
or the reserve naval service.

The attention of merchants lis called
TO the fact that more than half n mil

the committee points. Pensacolians

The effect OF the work on opinion at
Washington is also cited TO show what
it means TO Pensacola. In Secretary
Bakers statement that more training
camps would be needed, and the pres
ent ones enlarged, there is much to
indicate that large numbers of men
win be sent here to train, provided

CONSIDERABLE NUMBERS ARE
TO BE FORMED, TRAINED AND

The Pensacola journal
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 6.-United
States cavalry regiments are to be
rushed to France in considerable num-
bers as soon as the organizations can
be formed, trained and equipped, to
round out the perfect lighting machine
now almost ready to begin the sprir
drive against the Hindenberg line on

In tie first rush to place Ameri-
can troops in France in as large num-
bers and as quickly as possible both
regular army and National Guard cav
airy organizations were converted in

companies and rushed over.
Up to the present time General
Pershing has been entirely without
cavalry, a feature nat regarded as SER
ious up to this time because there has

this time because there has been
been nothing but trench warfare.
Six months ago when General Joffre
made his plea for the speedy despatch
of American troops 70 France, he said
France had plenty of cavalry but what
was wanted was American infantry
and artillery TO take over a part Of
the western line. and more important
still, to come quickly to buoy up the
depressed spirit of France.
The American force is still without
cavalry 10 do the work of quickly fol-

Although cavalry has thus far not
played its customary part in the war.
this branch is still maintained by the
British and French. The denomina-
ton of the War Department to deuble
the present strength of the cavalry in
dicates that General Pershing has re
quested mounted troops to complete
his organization.
American army officers held the
opinion that With the coming of spring
conditions will arise on the western
front necessitating the use of cavalry
More open fighting is looked for. of the
Find that characterized the British
drive at Cambria, and it is predicted
by some military students that the
cavalry charge will be a feature of the
fighting that will be resumed as soon
as weather conditions D 9rm1t-
There will necessarily be some de-
lay in forming the new cavalry regi-
ments as the old cavalry organizations
of the regular army and numerous
fancy state organizations composed of
expert horsemen have been scattered.
The large purchases of horses by the
allies has reduced the supply OF avail
able cavalry horses in the United
states. but there are said 10 be enough
left TO give the American army the
number IL needs.
The new cavalry regiments are be-
ing organized at Fort y. a. Russell,
and in the Southwest. There
is large cavalry patrol on the Mexi-
can border, and it is the understand
ing that these regulars will be sent
TO France first as soon as new organ
cations are ready to take their places
along the Rio Grande.
