GOVERNOR PAYS
CITY. A FLYING
VISIT TUESDAY
CHIEF STATE EXECUTIVE DELIV-
ERS RINGING ADDRESS TO SHIP
WORKERS.

Governor Sidney J. Cats, who
spoke yesterday afternoon at the
county fair, left Immediately after his
talk at Molino, and in company with
W. H. Wilder, of the Pensacola ship
building plant, and w. P. Rice, of Pen
sacoIa, made a quick trip from the
fair grounds to the city, speaking at
the Pensacola shipbuilding plant late
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Wilder and Mr.. Rice made the
trip by automobile to the fair, for the
purpose of bringing Governor Cats
to the city, in order that he might ad-
dress the men at the plant, and while
it was too late on their arrival to
speak to all, fair number of the en-
ployees of the great shipbuilding
company were present and found the
chief executive of Florida in his hap
piest vein.
He gave a ringing message of pa
triotism to the men, impressing upon
them the great service they are rem
dering their government in. the work
they are doing in aidingzthe country
in its ship building program.
Governor Cats and Mr.. Rice were
guests of Mr.. Wilder for dinner, the
governor remaining over in Pensacola
last night as the guest of Mr.. Rice,
leaving on the early morning train to-
day.

D.,iof In Germany That He Will
Att~-pt to Again Head
Government.
OPPONENTS
" WILL OBJECT
prod;cted That His Entry Into
Germany Would Result In
Prosecution.

london. Nov. 19.-Rumors that
William Holhenzollern may possibly
return to Germany are supported by
Tho Berlin Lokal Anzeiger's hint that
ba wuold not be refused an entry to
that country, haze created a consider
ahle stir here. They are featured by
several of the morning newspapers as
croatinq an uncertain situation which
is rendered more doubtful by accounts
of the activity of German propagan-
6ists in several countries.
The fear mainly is that the former
ernperor would sooner or later become
fine center of a reactionary movement
in Germany, when the present revolu-
tionary storm has blown over, and ad-
yocates of this view consequently fear
his return to his former empire.
On the other hand the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands of the new rulers
of Germany would be welcomed in
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post says, should be able to
execute judgment upon him and in so
doing would only be acting as fitting
Instruments of justice.
There is everywhere, however,
agreement that the ex-emperor'S pres
ence in Holland is intolerable, and it
is insisted he must somehow be made
impotent to do further mischief. Re-
ports from Holland show he is becom-
ing daily more unwelcome there, not
withstanding his quiet retirement. Be-
lated advices from The Hague show
that the Dutch socialists reiterated in
parliament on Friday last their objec-
tions to his presence and demanded
that he be deported.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
The Hague reports that the German
soldiers council in Antwerp on Thurs
day last adopted resolution that the
soldiers and wor1men's council in
Berlin demand the extradition of the
former emperor and the former crown
prince as well as certain generals.
The resolution expresses belief that
the eX-ruler exercises too much inf1u-
ence in Holland and forms the center
of counter revolutionary intrigue.
The Daily Express sees the posi-
bility of a plot to trick the allies and
create a federation far exceeding in
strength and resources the former
German empire. In the course of a
long article this newspaper contends
that the former emperor is back of
Chancellor Ebert, former Chancellor |
MaXimilian of Baden and Field Mar |
shal Won Hindenburg and it lays en-
phasis upon the fact that the emperor |
signed no formal abdication and is |
sued no valedictory message.

RAGING BLAZE DEVASTATES
BRISTOL; $500 LOSS

Bristol, Va. Nov. 19.-Fanned by a
high wind, fire swept through the
heart of the business district here to-
day. causing property loss estimated
at $750,000 before the city firemen,
aided bv downpour of rain, subdued
it. Falling walls severed wires in the
business section and left the city
without current for lighting or power,
while damage to the Cumberland te1e-
phone exchange cut off telephone SER
vice. Six men were ir.fired, some of
them probably fatally.
The flames originated in the base
ment of Dosser Brothers department

street between Lee and Moore streets
and quickly spread to adjoining build
ings. 1t started before work hours
and the only persons hurt were fire.

U. S; REQUESTS AUSTRIA CRIES
STATE TO SELL FOR BREAD AS
GRAZING LAND KARL STARVES
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS TO
CoLONIZE WEST FLORIDA WITH
RETURNING TROOPS.

Florida has been asked by a repre-
sentative of the Department of the
Interior to sell the government 500,-
900 acres of West Florida grazing
land on thirty years time, to be used
for colonization by returning troops.
This announcement was made by Gov
ernor Sidney j. Cats at the Molino
fair yesterday afternoon, and will be
one of the subjects which the legisla-
ture will be asked to act upon at the
coming special session.
This opportunity to have the west
ern part of the state coloniZed by the
cream of the country's citizenry is one
of the greatest opportunities which
has ever come to the state, in the
opinion of the governor. He an
nounced that every effort will be used
to have legislation passed at the COM
ing special session which will make
this project possible.
FLORIDA has at last come into her
own," said the governor. "a great
opportunity awaits the state if the
ing of 100000 acres of land to the
government, on the plan suggested by
the Department of the Interior. A
representative of the federal depart
ment visited me yesterday at Talla-
hassee and explained the govern
ment's needs in this line and the whole
plan meets with my hearty approval"
Mr.. Cats told the fair crowd.
Follows COrey's 0. X.
These plans are the result of the
favorable report made to the federal
authorities at Washington by H. G.
Corey of the Department of the In
terror, who recently completed sur
vey of West Florida counties. Mr..
Corey, at that time, announced that
he believed West Florida was the land
of opportunity for the returning sol
dier who wished to engage in the cat
tie raising industry.
The announcement of the governor,
as to the request of the federal au-
thorities for the West Florida land,
met with the hearty approval of the
crowd of 500 people who heard his
speech at the Escambia county fair at
Molino yesterday.
Governor Cats said he felt certain
that the legislature would grant the
request, and open for
settlement a vast acreage in West |
Florida now practically unpopulated.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-11-20

Pensacola and Escambia county
have reached a total of $31 ,281.34,
just one half of this county's quota,
according to figures given out last
night at headquarters.
The industrial plants of the city
have made a splendid showing. The
Newport Tar and Turpentine Com
pany, the Bruce Dry Dock Company,
Tart Cooperage Company, Southern
Cotton Oil Company, and Aiken Tow
boat Company, all having reported
one hundred per cent subscriptions.
Reports from the Pensacola ship
building plant and the Bullock-Cald-
well Shipbuilding Company, indicate
that returns from both of these COM
panies will be splendid
The committee urges that all who
can do so, make their contributions
today without waiting for the COM
mittee to call. These contributions
may be made either direct to head
quarters or through the banks of the
city. 1t made through the banks they
promptly.
Smith Speaks to Flyers
Gypsy Smith, Jr., spoke to the stu
dent aviators at the Naval Air Sta
tion last night and will speak to the
civilians there at noon today.
Mr.. Smith went fishing yesterday
with party of Pensacolians, catching
seven silver trout from the waters of
Escambia river, which workers con-
slider a good augury for the success
of the closing day of the drive of the
seven organizations which have united
in the victory campaign.
WOman's Committee Does Well
The woman's committee, under the
direction of Mrs. j. S. McGaughey,
county chairman, is doing some splen-
did work, and has been untiring in its
efforts to make the campaign a sue
cess.
w. X. Hyer, county chairman of the
Earn and Give Campaign, of which
Craighill Brown is city chairman, said
last night that there are about six
hundred boys engaged in the drive,
and that it is expected to raise at
least $25,000.00 through this source
alone.
Members of the committee stated
that they had faith in Escambia coun-
ty going over the top, in spite of the
fact that the quota is as yet only half
met. The fact that the committee
will accept Liberty bonds and War
Saving stamps will make it possible
for many to subscribe who could not
otherwise do so, and the consent of
the banks, to take and report SUBJ
will make it more conven-
lent for many business men.
George P. Wentworth, city chair
man, urges that all reports be sent in
to headquarters by this evening, as
the campaign closes at midnight, and
will not be extended beyond that time.
