ENVOY DAVIS HITS
At DISCRIMINATION

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Ambassador
Davis, guest of honor at the Wash
ington's birthday dinner of the Eng
lish Speaking Union in the Criterion
Restaurant last night, after paying
high tribute to the first American
President, touched upon two of the
most important Anglo-American ques-
tions-trade relations and the league
Of nations.
All statesmen must realize that
commerce is one Of the greatest incen-
tives to peace" said Davis. Moth
ing will more surely tend to destroy
amity and concord among nations
than discriminating or oppressive re-
strictions on commercial intercourse"
Referring to the league of nations,
he said:
whether we will II or not we are
on the threshold of a new interna-
tional order. 1t has been proved. at
a frightful cost of blood and treas
ure, that the world will never permit
any single power or combination Of
powers to exercise dominion over II.
Alliances, whether temporary or per-
manent, have been shown to be OF
uncertain endurance in time OF storm
and stress The first fruit of Anglo
American cooperation is the covenant
of the league of nations. 1t is
heartening to note the general ap-
proval with which il has been greet

BREST, Feb. 22.-Camp Pom
tanezen, where most Of the home
ward-bound troops are stationed
while awaiting transportation, is q
big institution.
The camp today contains a perma-
nent garrison of 1900, which will
be reduced when the camp is COM
pleted, rendering carpenters and en-
gfneers unnecessary. The transients
number $4,000, which is the maximum
that can be handled-in fact, strains
the facilities. When completed the
camp will accommodate 10000 COM
fortably.
The completed institution will be
divided into sixteen areas, each hav-
ing its own kitchen, entertainment
hall, recreation grounds and Y. n.
c. A hut. There are now ten amuse-
ment halls. varying from big tents TO
substantial buildings, large enough
to be used for dances. There is an
entertainment of some kind in at
least one hall every night some
times more than one.
Minstrel shows by clever colored
troopers are the most popular. Last
night the correspondent saw one Of
these. Some of the dancers ought
to be on the professional stage and
there was a jazz music that would
have done credit to broadway restau-
rants.
Aside from entertainment, the SOL
diers' time is occupied in construc-
tion work, particularly Transforming
mud roads into macadamized streets.
This is nearly finished and the motor
trucks find good going in most places
around the camp.

The biIleting officers also utilize
transient labor as much as possible

try n Escafabia,

The first carload shipment of
peaches for the season from Escambia
county went forward yesterday after
noon from the fine Greensboro or
chards of C. H. Barineau, near Quin
tette. They were SHIPPED westward to
Oklahoma and it is expected that from
the same community another car load
will follow either today or tomorrow.
and still another shipment a little later.
While most of the shipment was
made up from the orchards of Mr.. Bar
ineau, the car contained several fine
crates from the orchards of two of his
neighbors, Mesrs. Greer and Ander-
son.
The peaches are said to be of the
very finest flavor. of good size and
evenly ripened. The shippers have full
Iy demonstrated with their orchards
that peach growing in Escambia can
be made a most profitable business and
1t is well known that there are large
acreages of land in the civinity of
Ouinttte and other sections of the
county well adapted to this important
industry.

BOMB PLOTS
ATTRIBUTED
TOANARCHISTS
Secret Services Detectives
Are Now Engaged in
Wide Spread Hunt for
Perpetrators.

Washington, June S.-Investigation
of the bomb explosions in eight
cities which were intended to kill
public men has convinced secret serv-
ice chiefs here that the outrages had
common source. and that they prob
ably can. be classed as an unsuccessful
attempt on the part of a still unknown
anarchistic group to resume the cam
paign of terrorism begun with the
May Day attempt to deliver series
OF Internal machines through the
mails.
Police and secret service detectives
are engaged in a widespread hunt for
the perpetrators.
Washington police today devoted
their efforts to reassembling the frag-
ments of the man who was killed last
night at the door of Attorney General
Palmer's home while attempting to
plant his cargo OF explosives.
Mr.. Palmer himself dismissed the
incidents today as an utter failure
to terrorize the country and stay the
hand OF the government, which pur-
pose he ascribed to the authors Of
the outrages. Detectives were sent
from Washington to New York and
Philadelphia to connect up operations.
The hat OF the Washington bomb
planter was purchased in Philadel-
phia and other details indicated tho
possibility that the consignment of
explosives had been sent out from
these.
Secretary Morrison. of the American
Federation of Labor, in a statement
on bomb outrages today, declared the
country was reaping the result of it's
immigration policy which he pointed
out had permitted immigrants to en-
ter the United States at the rate of
million persons yearly.

THAT Pensacola can produce ships
as Well as any city in the land, but

officials OF the Emergency Fleet Cor

fault in production and to remove tho
obstacles thereto" was stated in a
report last night made by J. NJ. John
son to mass meeting mostly of ship
workers, at the city hall.
The mass meeting was called for
the purpose of hearing a report from
Mr.. johnson and his committee. sp-
pointed several days ago to go TO
Washington and Philadelphia for the
purpose of taking up grievances OF
carpenters at the local plant which
resulted in nearly a hundred leaving
their jobs when a foreman was asked
to resign.
In the meantime. empltyes OF the
plant should absolutely refrain from
strikes, walk k-outs and trouble OF every
sort; for if they have any grievance
the surest way to get them adjusted
is to take them UP with Adjustor Car

Mr. Johnson stated that he had been

he believed it to be to the interest
of the chamber of commerce and all
bodies concerned In the future of the
city TO bestir themselves to the ex-
tent of helping to prove to the gov
ernment that under proper conditions
ships can be built here with degree
of productiyeness second to no com

Officials of the carpenters union
stated at the close OF the meeting
that out of the number of men In
