II. S. Is CALLING
FOR PILOTS In
AERIAL M ALL
is SERVICE MEN WILLING TO EN-
TER 1T.

The government is calling for aerial
pilots from both the service and civil
ian instructors, but the salary attach
ed to such q position is no very great
inducement for enlistment in the Ae-
rial Mail Service from either branch,
said 1t Harry w. Thompson, instruc-
tor at Park Field, Memphis, Tenn.
who spent yesterday in the city. 1t is
not the opinion of Lit. Thompson that
many army or navy aviaSors who en-
listed to help win the war will take
places as aerial mail pilots on account
OF the small remuneration offered for
So dangerous an occupation.
1t. Thompson, who Is a son OF Fl.
w. Thompson, clerk of the circuit
court Of Santa Rosa county, is one Of
the most daring army aviators in the
country, and one of the sensational
flights which attracted nation wide at
tention was a record breaking trip
made by him from Park Field to Fort
Barrancas, as publicity stunt for
the Third Liberty Loan drive.
This trip was made On May 5th, and
on May 23rd, in making a flight at
Park Field, he met with a serious ac-
cident, breaking one OF his limbs in
several places, breaking his jaw, and
receiving minor Injuries He was dis
charged from the hospital at Park
Field about two months ago, and has
since been instructor in cross country
flying.
Ii Thompson expects soon to re-
,eive his discharge and will leave the
regular army, but will remain in the
United States reserve corps.

TO CONSIDER
PEACE LEAGUE
FIRST, BELIEF
BELIEVE AMERICAN IDEAL FOR
WORLD PEACE WILL BE con-
SIDERED FIRST.

Paris, Nov. 26.-The, league of ma
tions is likely to figure before the
peace conference at very early stage
in the proceedings, instead of being
relegated to the close, after the ter
ritorial aspirations Of the various
powers have been settled, two distinct
view points will have developed.
The American view is that, unlike
the Vienna congress, which readjusted
the map Of Europe after the Napoleon
ic upheayal, the ideals should come
before the satisfaction of territorial as
pirations. Those urging the territorial
questions first say that it is desirable
to sign a peace treaty embodying the
essential details of the erliest possi-
bic moment, so as to terminate the
official war period under which the
troops are held

CAN NOT ACT
NOW ON STATE
DRY QUESTION
PRESENT SPECIAL LEGISLATURE
IS DISQUALIFIED TO AMEND THE
STATE CONSTITUTION.

The present legislature is disqua1i-
fled to act on an amendment of the
state onstituffon, seHeE lawyers of the
state Of Florida hold, saying the Flor
ida constitution provides that the
amendment to the federal constitution
must be acted upon by a legislature
elected subsequent to the passage OF
the amendment by congress.
John S. Beard, who has made a
special study of legal points relating
to the state and federal constitutions,
when asked for his views in the mat
ter, had the following to say:
"The constitution provides that the
casions, convene the legislature by
clamation, state the purpose for
which it is convened, and the legisla-
ture when organized shall transact no
legislative business other than that
for which it is specially convened, or
such other legislative business as the
governor may call to it's attention
while in session, except by two
thirds vote of each house.
with the limitations and excep-
tionS enumerated in the above quoted
section of the constitution, an extra
ordinary session can transact any leg
islative business that a regular ses-
sion can, except propose amendments
to the constitution. The constitution
specifically limiting the proposal Of
amendments to a regular session.
mo, this legislature cannot ratify
the proposed prohibition amendment

EXTRADITION
OF KAISER Is
WITHIN LAW
BRITISH AUTHRITIES DECIDE THAT
ALLIES CAN DEMAND EMPEROR
FROM HOLLAND.

London, Nov 26-It is understood
that the question of the extradition Of
the former German emperor is being
considered by British ! aw officers,
working in close cooperation with the
French authorities. Action in prem
ises was taken Immediately after the
flight of the former emperor into Hol-
land.
The Evening News says it under
stands that law officers have con-
cluded that the allies are entitled to
demand the extradition of the former
emperor, and this decision applies also
to individuals who have committed or
given instruction for eXtraditab1e
crimes It added that Holland takes
the view that she has not the power
to surrender such persons without the
consent of Germany.

New York, Nov, 26-Although the

ACTION ASKED
ON CENTENNIAL
CITY ATTORNEY URGES COUNCIL
TO TAKE STEPS TO CLINCH GEL
EBRATION FOR CITY.

eff Penstcola wants to celebrate the
state centennial, the people here
should get together at once and begin
plans for the celebration which is to
come next year. Otherwise they
should give up the proposition and let
some other Florida city have the ex-
position" This is the opinion of City
Attorney J. B. Jones, as expressed to
the city commissioners.
Since Pensacola claims to be the
oldest city in the state and nation. be-
cause the Spanish treaties Were sign
ed here, since the first territorial gov
ernment was administered from this
city and the first safe legislature met
in this vicinity, Mr.. Jones believes
Pensacola should have the celebra-
ton.
The fact that nothing has been done
was presented to the city commits
sioners at recent meeting in order to
get something started in the way of
arranging for the event. Funds for
the centennial can be readily procured
and all arrangements for the holding
of the event here We're attended to by
Mr.. Jones when he was sitting in the
state senate.
while the holding Of the centennial
exposition here would require the ex-
penditure Of many thousands OF dol
lars, no one can estimate the amount
of money it would bring to Pensacola,
or the advertising and progress which
would result to the city from the
event, officials say.
on the other hand IL something is
not done to insure the event for Pen
sacola, several other cities of the
state are waiting for an opportunity
to hold the centennial, namely Jack
Palm Beach and st. Angus
tine. The legislature by special reso-
luton has authorized rhe holding OF
the celebration here and it is up 10
to get busy and make
plans for the anniversary, says Mr..
Jones.
Officials point to other cities where
such events have been held, saying
the hotels, houses and such construc-
ion as is left have aided greatly in the
future of those cities. The need Sf
such housing here is another reason
why Pensacoiians should cinch the
for this city by getting ac-
ion in the matter. it is said.

Our Weekly Fable I'm Slang

One thing at time 1 say, and the

Bill Hohenzollern person, and the
Crown Prince is working on the street
cleaners force on Inter Der Linden,
there's one pest that 1 want to see

in every directory in the country.
We used to have one in the old 18th.
He was the Alpha and Omega of all the

wrong for taking a bust at this Berlin
Burglar for trying to put the bug on
him all the time Honestly his face
was so gloomy that rainy Sunday in
March looked like a peaceful June af-

gladness, when you compared the two.
His fayorite gloom subject though

Marvellous. But what knocked US all

They were just getting O. meal too

was a lively place on last Saturday aft

was crowded throughout the afternoon
with soldiers who dropped in to meet the

and dancing and just enough Of visiting
with the girls to make one think of home.
Extensive plans are being made for next

as many girls will be on hand. A cordial

being done by the various war work
agencies.
81 found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
81 have found them in hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered villages
in the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
Of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their loaely, but efficient
and essential work. Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America
