TARGET PRACTICE
ON REAL WARSHIPS
Navy Department Plans to Use
Obsolete Vessels for
Moving Targets.

Washington, Dec. 10-American blue
jackets will be given an opportunity
to test their Workmanship on real bat
tleships steaming at full speed under
actual battle conditions if plans now
being worked out at the navy depart
ment materialize. The bureau of
ordance, it was learned today. con-
templates taking several obsolete ships
to the target range and using them for
targets moving at full speed. There
would of course be no crews aboard
the target ships which would be steered
by an electrical distant control"
system, probably from an aeroplane
or another vessel. Ordance officers
believe the experiment will provide the
gunners with the most valuable target
practice system ever used by any navy.
A number of old battleships, con-
demmed to the scrap heap or sale for
junk are available for use as moving
targets under the departments new
plan. Among them are the Iowa, In
diana and Massa achusetts. 1t is eX-
pected several more of the old ships
will later be used for the same pur-
pose. including the Kentucky, Kear-
sarge and Illinois, Wisconsin classes.

CUT in SERVICE
IS KEENLY FELT
Discontinuance of Morning and
Afternoon Trains Causes
Hardships.

The discontinuance of the 6:15 a. m.
train to FIomaton and the Gas p. m.
train from Mobile and northern points
has caused no little inconvenience in
Pensacola not only TO travelling men
but also to hotels, business houses
and many persons who have interests
in West Florida and who reside in this
city.
With the end of the coal strike
Yesterday considerable satisfaction was
expressed in the knowledge that these
trains will be put back at an early date.
Hotel guests have found it necessary to
get out of town the night before in
following day on account of the abb
sence of the early morning train, and
the discontinuance of this same train
has made it practically impossible for
certain men who live in Pensacola, who
have agricultural and lumber inter
ests between here and Flomaton and
points beyond, to spend any time
whatsoever at the scene of their oper-
ations. Many merchants have com
, planned that certain shipments which
usually go out on this train are held
UP several hours because it doesn't
run any more.
Persons who live in this city ar
| find themselves in Mobile or any
point between here and there must
either take a train two hours earlier
| to get home or remain over night.
| With the termination of the strike
lit is hoped that the resumption OF
these two trains will be speedily ef-
jfected.

HUN DELEGATION
LOOKS FINAL WORD

Paris Dec. 10.-Germany'S delega- :
tion at Versailles today is consider
ing what is looked upon as the last
word of the supreme council of the
peace conference relative to the sign
ing of the protocol of the treaty of
peace.
Elimination of the clause providing
for coercion by the Allies in case of
Germans failure to execute the
treaty's provisions and alteration of
the claim for indemnity for German
warships sunk at Scapa Flow are the
most important concessions made by
the council in it's note delivered last
night Economic effects of the turn
ing over to the allies Of German dock
and harbor machinery by way of m
demnity will be the subject of an in
uuir-y to be conducted by the repara-
tions commission. At the same time
however, the council places on Ger
many responsibility for the sinking OF
the German fleet at Scapa Flow.
German demands for modification
of the treaty clauses calling for the
surrender of Germans charged with
violations of the laws of warfare as
well as those dealing with the repa-
triation of prisoners of war are re-
iected. The status of America in re-
Iation to the treaty is held not to alter
the effectiveness of the pact and Ger
man objections along this line are de-
scribed as pretended rights" Ger
many is told it is .vein to seek to de-
law the operation Of the treaty and
that the Allies await the signature OF
the protocol without further loss OF
time
