FOR CANAL TO
PERDIDO BAY
Government Engineers Take
First Steps Leading to
Construction of Water
Route to Mobile.

Machinery for obtaining the Pensa-
cola Mobile canal. which would insure
to this port cheaper coal rates and
give a tremendous impetus to ship
ping, has been again set in motion,
Government engineers, under the di-
rection of Capt. J. E. Turtle. have just
begun to make the survey for the pro-
posed canal, connecting Perdido and
Mobile bays and for the smaller canal
from the lagoon to Perdido bay.
For the financing Of the project it
has been estimated that a congression-
al appropriation of 100000 will be
necessary. Senator Duncan U. Fletch-
er is urging that this appropriation
be made and local interests will lobby
in Washington for realization Of the
project.
Given the canal. which would connect
Pensacola with Mobile and obtain for
this port direct communication with the
great Alabama coal fields, a future Of
unsurpassed prosperity has been pre-
dicted for the city. When once tho
canal is completed shipments could he
made from the Birmingham district,
down the Warrior river to the port
Of Pensacola.
Shipping interests would benefit
enormously by the excavation of the
canal Bunker and export coal can
be brought by barges for just one
half the rail rate. according to an
estimate of exporters.
Business for the new line which the
Pensacola Shipping company will in
augurate from this port direct to the
United Kingdom. would benefit enor-
mously.
Realization of the canal is expect
ed to come as the result of the con-
tinuous work for the past five years of
the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
and other interested citizens.

TRIBUTE PAID BY

 FOR PATRIOTISM

TOXIC, Jan. Addressing the prefectural governors of the Elm pire, Takejiro Tokonami, the Home Minister in the new Hara party cabinet, indicated the other day that the Government would bring about a revision of the suffrage system so as to promote constitu- tional government in Japan.

 The minister paid tribute to the patriotism and devotion of the Allies in the present war. He said: s1t is a remarkable fact that every nation has, on account of the war, enormously strengthened it's nation al ideas. The unity and solidarity so well achieved by the Allied na- tions have been accomplished by the virtue of individual initiative on the part of the people. The urg- ent need for us is that the ad- mirable qualities inherent to our national character be fully devel- oped through the awakening of each individual thus will the noblest traits of our national life be perfectly realized.

GREAT REJOICING OVER SIGNING OF
 ARMISTICE TERMS

PAPEETE, Island of Tahiti, Nov. 16.-( -(Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press) )-Official news of the signing of the armistice reached here November 12. Immediately the little town gave itself over to the widest rejoicing. Flags of the Allies blossomed everywhere. They appear cd on buildings, street cars, carriag- es and in the hands of every man, woman and child who crowded the water front and other thoroughfares singing, shouting and dancing.
 Buglers in fast automobiles began sounding the tidings through the out lying districts. Every whistle was tied down. Cannon boomed from the little fort on the hill. One individual, who evidently didn't care what hap pened to him, made himself up to look like the Kaiser, was bound in chains and led about the town by a shrieking, jeering crowd of children.
 There was a reason for the rejofc- ing. Tahiti has given more than ten per cent. of it's total population to the ranks of the Allies. They comprised the best and bravest of her sons, and they have fought on the battlefields of Europe from Sal onih to France. Many have re- ceived the highest decorations for valor, and the Islanders are proud that the ancient warrior spirit Of their ancestors still lives.

MANCHURIAN PAPER
 SAYS RUSSIAN MUST
 LEARN FROM AMERICA

KAREN, Manchuria, Jan. S. Amorica's friendship for Russia is recognized by the Manchuria, a labor organ of this city which de- clares editorially that the words of the United States can be trusted and that American diplomacy is straightforward and democratic. The paper quotes the American con sul at Irkutsk as announcing that the United States would in no way interfere in Russian internal af- fairs.
 We must learn from America to build our fortunes by ourselves and develop the wealth of our country the Manchuria says. America is our true friend offering her services without any hypocrisy if we desire them.' Russia and America! How strong would be such an alliance. What possibili- ties it would present to our long
 suffering country. America ex- tends to us a helping hand May We not fail to grasp it, And it must not be forgotten for one mo- ment that if anyone should occupy Siberia it will not be America"

MORE SECRETS
 OF THE WAR ARE
 CROPPING OUT
Three Times the Order Was Given for the German Fleet to Attack the
 Allies.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 8. = The at- tempt of officers of the German High Seas fleet to make suicidal sortie against the British Grand fleet be- fore the armistice was signed is characterized by the Berlin Vor- waerts as "the last devilish crime against the German people that seal ed the doom of the Pan-Germans." Refusal of the sailors to go out and fight is regarded as the first step towards the German revolution. This mutiny is described by the Vorwaerts as "an act of Aelf-defcnse by S0,000 men against the villainous Pan-Ger- man plan.
 ''To understand the position" con- tinues the newspaper, "it is neces- sary to go back to the feverish propaganda by the Pan-Germans at the end of October for a so-called na- tional fight of despair. To save their necks they conceived the idea of bait ing the people. into a forlorn hope which could only end in complete extermination. The death of the doomed eighty thousand did not con- cern these maniacs in whose reckon ings human blood never counted. Their notion of military honor was that the whole people should suffer themselves to be butchered rather than undergo the shame of defeat"
 With their minds steeped in the worship of might they had no ink ling of the revolutionary currents among the men. They still imagined i that iron discipline was paramount Their fiendish plan was to send out the ships to be sacrificed to the last vessel. The news spread like wild fire.
 "'At the last stage of war are we all to be killed?" they asked
 "The officers barrangued, cajoled, | in vain. Three times the order was ! given. It was a difficult position for men with no backing but their feel ing of solidarity. A thousand were imprisoned at Wilhelmshaven. The choice between freedom and impris- Cnment was not difficult It was revolution. It was the irony of fate that the Pan-Germans, with what was to be their last desperate blow, should themselves have started the conflagration. It was this last, dew ilish crime against the German peo- pie that sealed their doom,Y .lf
