RECKLESS AUTOIST
PAYS FOR TROUBLE

Chris. Gakias, driving an Alabama
car seemed to derive a lot Of enjoy
ment in speeding up and down Paiafox
street, Friday, and when 1t was seen
that he had more than once delib-
erately exceeded the speed limits, he
was taken into custody and charged
with violating municipal statutes in
this respect. This line Of testimony
was adduced in the city court yester-
day morning and Recorder Morey
could see no justification for his ac-
tions, and as reminder Of the fact
that Pensacola had speed laws which
must be observed, a fine of s25 and
costs was imposed, which Gakias paid
before he left the city yesterday ar
ternoon.
This is the second Birmingham man
who. because Of not complying with
local speed statutes, has been called
upon to contribute to the city treas
urer. A w Landers, about week
ago, paid fine of $50 and costs when
arraigned in the city court and certain
charges amply sustained by the evil
dence adduced.

THE
.LUs|TLN|A GAN
DE SALvAGED
Over 26O Ships, Victims of
U-Boats and Storms, Raised
BY British Effort.
METHODS HAVE
BEEN IMPROVED
Men Work Under Heroic Cir
cumstances to Reclaim Some
of the Sunken Craft.
(By Associated Prcss)

London, July u3.-(Special.)-So
successful has been the work Of the
admiralty salvaging department that
hopes are now being raised that some
of the larger vessels torpedoed by the
Germans may yet be recovered.
1t is not too much to hope that the
Lusitania may some day be raised.
for salvaging methods are steadily be-
ing improved and the efficiency Of the
department is being increased.
From January. 1915. to January.
1918, the admiralty recovered $50
merchant ships sunk by the Germans
in British waters. This year, up to
the first of June, lat ships have been
saivaged. or more than half the num-
Der recovered last year.
This increase Is not due to the
greater activity OF U-boats, but to
more efficient salvage methods
Men Are Heroic.
The salvage workers are doing as
heroic work as sailors in a. sea battle
or the men at the front. Many times
their lives are in peril One salvage
vessel was torpedoed while at work
on a wreck. Gases formed by rot
ting cargoes in the holds Of sunken
vessels have killed the workmen.
In many cases work which has
taken days to perform is swept away
by a heavy sea.
One of the most brilliant achieve
ments of the department was the rais-
ing of a collier partly filled with coal,
on top of which was another sunken
vessel which forced the Golfers hull
deeper into the sea bed.
Lift $500 Tons.
1t meant lifting a dead weight OF
$500 tons, and four lifting vessels
with sixteen wire ropes three inches
thick did the work. Successive lifts.
aided by the tide with divers patch
ing the holes in the wreck, and much
pumping, finally accomplished the
seemingly impossible feat of lifting
both the sunken ships. The collier
was repaired and restored to service.
At present no ship can be raised
from a depth exceeding 120 feet. as
at this depth the pneumatic tools used
for cutting and drilling the ships side
refuse to work But with English
and American ingenuity striving con-
stantly for improved methods. it may
some day be possible to recover ships
sunk in deeper water.
AS an example of how a ship can
be repaired no matter how badly dana
aged, the admiralty cites a large oil
tank steamer, which with cargo OF
benzine, struck a mine and caught
fire.
Salvage vessels rushing to the res
cue fired forty shots into the vessels
hull to sink her and extinguish the
flames. An explosion took place be-
fore she sank. But despite all this
damage the ship was successfully
raised and repaired.

Three Army Corps of Americans
Have Thus Far Been Organ
lied i'm France.

Washington. July t3.-In announcing
today that American troops already
abroad and in the trenches has passed
the 100000 mark, General March,
chief Of staff, also disclosed that three
army corps OF American troops now
have been organized in France
Each contains from 225,000 to $780,
600 men of the regulars, national army
and national guard.
Major General Hunter Liggett tenn
porarily commands the first corps: the
Other two commanders have not been
selected, bat when the corps command
ers finally are selected they will have
the rank OF lieutenant generals.
Beside this, the chief OF stafY disclosed
important Information OF the exact
troops which go to make up the corps
This information never has been given
before to the people at home.
The rate OF transportation of troops
for July General March said, was
keeping up with previous months
More than $4,000 troops were trans
poi'ted last week alone.
General March said; no o4flciai re-
norts attempting to explain the delay
IN ! the German offensive had reached
the war department. He indicated his
opinion. however, that the time that
drive Is not greater than would have
been necessary to prepare adequately
for an assault of the scope OF which
the Germans are believed to be con-
tamplating.
~ The fact that American forces are
-heing rapidly shipped to France Is
regarded as possibly ythe reason for
more than extensive German prepara-
tions.
Commanders for the army corps are
only ytempOrary yfor the present,
' General March said, the policy OF the
war department being to wait until
the various major generals have had
experience In handling the corps units
before making permanent selections.
Appointments as lieutenant generals
will go to the officers selected for the
permanent details.
All activities along the various fronts
have been OF a minor character during
the last week, General March said. The
process OF small raids along the FNlnch
line have been continued with prac-
tically UNMARRIED success for the allies.
The most striking advance has been
In Albania where, aided by British and
Italian monitors operating from the sea,
"a general advance over crescent
eheped sector OF 80 miles in length has
been made, the advance being % miles
at Its deepest front. Our crescent into
the allied lines there has been wiped
out and q straight front substituted.
Tie advance was carried out largely
BY Italian troops, General March eaid,
but they were assisted on the right
flank by ythe French.

PREVIOUS REPORT STATED
PROPOSITION WAS COMING.
Washington Bureau
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

WASHINGTON ID. c., July Ia
The proposition or having a fioatingl
drydock built at Pensacola for the
United States Shipping Board is pro-
crossing favorably.
It has been recommended to the
Shipping Board by the Railroad Ad-.
mfnistration which has found that
there is enough commerce tributary to
Pensacola 70 insure the use OF the dry
dock on a paying basis
When the matter was first broached
by Pensacola interests the Shipping
Board took no interest in it's because
of the belief that there was not enough
waterway traffic at Pensacola, present
or prospective, to warrant building a
drydock there.
The Railroad Administration ard
also the Shipping Board had believed
ther was insufficient traffic there now
to warrant placing a drydoclx there
and had concluded that railroad and
terminal facilities were so poor that
the traffic OF the port would not soon
be increased to the point where a dry
dock would be necessary
But little by little this belief In
being dissipated and the way cleared
not only for building drydoci there
but for much greater use of the port
of Pensacola by the Railroad Admin
istration as a channel for importing
and exporting materials between this
country and Europe and other points.
Senator Park Trammel Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher and Mr. c. z.
Dobson, of the Pensacola Chamber
OF Commerce have been persistent In
urging the Railroad Administration
and Shipping Board to take advantage
of the facilities offered by Pensacola !
and expect shortly to obtain approval /
for locaing floating drydoek there
and greater utilization Of Pensacola
harbor.
Following a. conference Senator 1
Trammell and Mr. Dobson had few
days ago with Mr.. Edward Chambers,
assistant 70 Director General McAdoo,
at which they urged greater utilization
Of Pensacola harbor by the Railroad
Administration and Shipping Board,
