Washington, d. C, Feb. ia full

made by Director General of Railways
McAdoo The Port of Pensacola is to
be utilized by the government soone:
or later along with other souther /
ports to relieve the congestion at the
northern ports, Director McAdoo has
stated.
Some misunderstanding regarding
the matter appears to have arisen,
judging from a letter DR.. L. deN.
Blocker has written Senator Fletcher.
From DIR. Bloczers communication it
appears that he inquired of some gov
ernment officials here regarding a
surveyor the Port of Pensacola and
his inquiry was taken as a request
for a survey by the engineers.
Surveys by the engineers are made
only on authority by Congress and
are3with a view TO further improve
ment of waterways. Apparently DR..
Blocker was not interested in this sort
iofsa survey, for Pensacola has all tho

Blocker wanted a survey TO be made
with view to it's utilization by the
government.
Senator Fletcher wrote DR.. Blocker
today in regard to the matter as fol-

WAR PROHIBITION

TIE United States senate is 60
ing to express itself on the ques-
ton of war prohibition. As soon
as the recess is over the vote will
be taken. The issue has been
made and argued and the time
fixed for the vote. Both sides are
claiming victory, but the drys
seem to have the advantage.
The brewers insist that to pro-
hibit the brewing of beer and the
sale of all intoxicants would be a
dangerous affair at this time, as it
would deprive thousands of labor
ing men of their accustomed drink
and lead to trouble and cutting
down of labor performed in ship
ping and munition factories. We
note, however. that labor, itself,
has made no such appeal.

is the position of the liberty.seek-

Whatever he says is always so well

1t is remarkable how other ma

American view as to the purposes
of the war. Our stand against
the enemies Of civilization and
small nations, SO successfully
taken, the marvellous progress
made in placing our army and
equipments in the field, could not
fail to create worldwide admira-

the successful endeavors being
