may have an equal start in the race
for German trade.
Raising of the blockade withou,
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to
the United States than any other
nation because final approval of the
treaty, owing to governmental ma
chinery, probably will require longer
in the United States than in the
other countries.
One result of the decision, if car
ried out, will be to give the senate
unlimited time for consideration OF
the treaty. In some quarters pro-
vision in the treaty say that COM
mercial relations with Germany
might be resumed when three of
the powers ratified the treaty was
considered as likely to force the
senate to speedy ratification. The
resolution recently introduced by
Senator Fall, republican, of New
Mexico, to declare the war with
Germany at an end was signed to
enable the United States to begin
business relations with the Ger
mans and to relieve the senate of
any pressure that might be brought
to bear by business interests.

by the Jail physicians to save his
life, he died few minutes after 8

plain how the doctor obtained the
rope with-which he ended his life.
The rope DR.. Wilkins used was
brand new. He had been thorough

said.
DR.. Wilkins left behind him a
long letter protesting his inno-
cence and declaring his belief that
he had not received a fair trial.
The doctor had spent the entire
afternoon writing his letter of self
vindication and two other letters
giving directions for the disposal of
his body and the care of several
pets to which he was greatly at
tached.

state of New York by Carmen

Berlin, June 30.-(By the Associ-

Bethmann-Hollweg, it is said, de-
sired to take this step May 20, but
refrained at that time on the ex-
pressed wish of the German gov

Premier Clemenceau to bring the
following document to the knowl-

"In article ri of the peace terms,
the allied and associated powers ar
raign His Majesty William II Of

time they announce their resolve to
address a request to the government
of the Netherlands for the surrender
of the former emperor for purpose
of trial.

the reckoning which the allied and

hope that they would be inclined to
yield to my urgent request.

The Attorney General having ex-

Commission will open only to

BRIGHT MOONLIGHT OF TOWN
POINT.

The following story, The Journal is
told, really happened. And that only
a few nights ago:
There are many stories handed down
from the old settlers regarding buried
treasure that is hidden in the sand
on Santa Rosa Island, and the envions
of Pensacola.
Many people have dug in vain for
these treasures left by the Spaniards.
But two young men OF Pensacola have
different story to tell John Porter
and Robert Dunsmore had followed
clues and dug in different places until
they were discouraged but not hope
less. Finally they heard of divining
rod, or Moses rod as it is some times
called, and they bought one. They will
not tell where they got it, but anyhow
it did the work. for one bright moon
light night they went to Town Point,
where it is rumored much treasure is
buried, and silently and slowly walked
back and forth over desolate spot,
the rod remaining stiff and straight.
suddenly. much to their joy. the rod
bent to the eartk-
Eagerly the young men set to work
and after hours of digging they struck
a metal box, but it took a long time to
uncover it and they lightened their
: labor with planning what they would
| do with the fortune when unearthed.
Finally they uncovered a metallic
coffin,
They pried off the lid and there lay
man clothed in black silk, the most
of which turned to dust as soon as
1.-THE air reached it, though they have
a bit of the silk to prove their story
| true.
| The man had parchment in his
folded hands, which the young men
are sure is a map directing where
| to find the hidden treasure They
| say that the coffin was shaped some
thing like a man and that there was
writing engraved both on the outside
and inside of the coffin in foreign
language.
If some antiquarian wishes to get
a real treasure he can apply to these
1.-TWO treasure hunters.
