Organizing Much Bay Route

w. NJ. Herrider, Highway Biz
Pathfinder for the Gulf-Atlantic High
way Association arrived in Pensacola
Wednesday night from Mariana. Mr..
Herrider has been working in the in
terest OF the association through West
Florida, Georgia and a part Of Ala
bama. He has spent the past several
days organizing local units along the
St. Andrews bay route. Next week
he will go to Eufaula and complete or
CARNATIONS along the route.
Mr.. Herrider stated that he found
the people all along his district very
enthusiastic about the highway and
stated that it was particularly true of
the bankers. He also expressed the
hope that the organization here would
get busy and push Pensacola to be
included in the route.

that have so far ratified, and that the
whole structure will rapidly crumble
and disappear. South American coun
tries which had been expected to fol-
low the United States in joining the
league may now withhold part;c!pa-
ton, even should the European ma
tons proceed to organize it.
There is steadfast belief, however
among the believers in world peace
that the league will be set up with
the depositing of notifications by al
least three of the principals in the war
and that soon or later the United
States will take it's place among the
members.
Political animosities, which largely
shaped the fight in the senate. will not
forever be permitted to stand. in the
way of permanent peace, they declare
Fight May Tend to Divide the Parties,
For the immediate future, however,
the contest in the United States will
be political.
1t will not be a straight out fight
between Republicans and Democrats,
but may tend to divide parties, par
ticularIy the G. o. P.
In states having senatorial pri-
maries, for instance, followers of Taft
and other Republican supporters of
the league will put up Republican
candidates on a league platform to
contest for the nominations against
members who joined with
Lodge in his fight against the treaty.
So the people will have chance to
express their views not merely at the
final election next September, but also
at the primaries.

The United States didn't send him

He is consular agent, an officer

But he hasn't diplomatic immunity

Mexico City a detailed statement from
Jenkins of just what happened, but it

the department would go to the bottom
