EXPECTED TO COME HERE.

Efforts are being made by the Car

tank Brittania TO Pensacola for the
Mardi Gras celebration to be held on
February IL and II. The tank has
seen actual service in France and has
taken part in several of the great
British drives. It mas done its bit
against the Germans, and is in this
country to stimulate recruiting the
British and Canadian armies.
Through the courtesy of Col. ]. $.
Dennis, commanding, the tank has
been permitted to give demonstrations
at Camp Upton, and other military
training camps. and will soon be sent
to the south, as the freezing weather
in the north renders it difficult for
the tank to give satisfactory per-
formances
1t will be sent South at once, and
il was planned to be in New Orleans
for Mardi Gras, and to come than TO
Mobile. As celebrations in both those
cities have been postponed, and PEN
sacola is the only city to observe rno
carnival this year. it IS believed that
the demonstration here can be ar
ranged.

TEXT OF MESSAGE
SENT BY BERNSTORFF

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE state de-

cepted messages passing between
Count Won Bernstorff, former >lserman
ambassador here and the Bsrlip for

The department also published
German censorship rule which forbade
the mention of Caillaux's name in the
German newspapers.
Following is. the text of the message
sent by Bernstorff:
In Buenos Ayres telegraph the fol.
lowing:
"4Caillaux has left Buenos Ayres af-
ter a short stay and is going direct TO

French government with the exception

icy OF England perfectly. He does
not anticipate the complete overthrow
of France. He sees in the war now

England. Although he spoke of the
'fndiscretions and clumsy policy of
the Wiihelmstrasse, and professed TO
believe in German atrocities, Ire has
in essentials hardly changed his polit-
ical orientation. CailIaux welcomed
indirect courtesies from me but en-
phasized the extreme caution which is
obliged to show as. the French govern

was cool. His report about Brazil had

Another message which Won Bern
