Admiral Seldom at Sea.


$50 rarely did he take sea trip.
said the secretary, referring to the
admirals work as commander of the
United Staes naval forces in European
waters, that in his book he tells story
of one of the few times he was afloat,
going then with the British admiral
who he'd been placed by Rear Admiral
Sims in command of the American de-
stroyers based on Queenstown.
As justifYing his contention that in
diyidual duties ashore are necessarily
of secondary Importance to duties a
float Mr.. Daniels asserted:
ION shore a man decides important
questions in the quiet Of office sur
rounding with time to weigh the pros
and cons and if he makes a mistake,
his error or decision is not Immediately
followed by disastrous results. At sea,
particularly in submarine warfare,
the commander, like all his men, is in
imminent peril of death. He must make
momentous decisions in the flash tof a
single moment, often when his ship
has been attacked and when GOODNESS
and poise are necessary to save the
! lives of scores and hundreds of men.
A mistake in this emergency is fatal to
an officer in command at sea-
With this as an impelling reason. the
secretary said he disapproved of the
disparity between honors to men ashore
and afl0at as recommended by the
knight board and accordingly reduced
or eliminated a number of awards for
shore service.
In support of his contention that a
commander of a ship sunk or damaged
by submarine attack was entitled to a
medal if he showed proper qualifica-
tions even though the ship was unable
to combat the submarine, Secretary
Daniels cited numerous examples in
American naval history and also pointed
to instances of such awards by the
French government during the world
war. American naval history, he told
the committee, was filled with pre-
cedents upholding his action in award
ing the distinguished service medals
to commanders of ships sunk by sub
marine or mines.
No Chance to Save Ships.
''In the stiletto attack Of submarine
warfare" said Mr.. Daniels, 'it is not
the fact that man strikes or is struck
that tests true mettle an dtrue naval
leadership. The question is; does he
play the part Of the man, with chivalrY
and thought only of others and of his
country? And has he by preparation
and foresight done all that is possible
to meet any and every emergency? And
when he faces a court Of his brother
officers, do they find that he has meas
ured up in the terrible ordeal to the
high naval traditions? Admirals Mayo
and GIeaves and Vice-Admiral Grant

DIR. Renshaw Calls Meeting of
Committee of 100 to Deter

ALL CITIZENS INVITED
Chairman Urges That Every
Person Be on Hand to Take
Part in Making Decision

The chairman of the committee of
100, DIR. f. G.. Renshaw, has called a
meeting of the Florida Purchase Cen
tennial committee, in the council
chamber of the city hall, for tomor-
row evening at 7:3O o'clock, at which
a definite plan for the centennial will
be worked out
Every member of the central COM
mittee, and all auxiIiaries, are urged
to be present, and the public is in
vited to attend the meeting. at which
reports will be read from the attor-
neys who represented Pensacola in
the recent hearings. which brought
about the decision of the supreme
court, rendering the centennial com
mittee null and void, and placing Pen
sacola once more on its original basis
in this matter.
member of the committee of 100,
in speaking of the decision of the
supreme court said yesterday: Pen
sacola having been twice so desig-
mated by the Florida state legislature,
is now the centennial city of Florida
The resolution was introduced by
Senator John B. Jones, and Pensa-
cola's claims have never been abro-
gated.
Pensacola gave it's sanction to the
centennial movement in every possi-
BILE way. Practically every organiza-
ton in the city endorsed it. 1t was
given endorsements by the North
the bankers association of this dis
trict.
Men in every walk of life have not
only given their sanction to the move
ment, but subscribed to the fund fol-
the special trains which carried the
centennial boosters to Tallaha ssee and
to Jacksonville.
"By the strong fight put up by the
centennial committee, Pensacola sue
ceeded in overcoming that spirit which
sought to take away from what
was rightfuIly ours. We have pro-
claimed to the world that we want
the centennial Now it is up to us to
make that claim good"
While the fight for the centennia
has not been so openly waged IN
Jacksonville, interests there are work
ing for the international celebration
and Jacksonville is already sending
out her propaganda. The Journal is in

RAIL DECISION
AGAIN DELAYED

CONSOLIDATION OMITTED
Senate and House COnferees on
Rail Legislation Reach Par
tial Agreement

Washington, Feb. 3.-Prolonged dis
cussion of demands for increased
wages between railroad administration
officials and representatives of two
million railroad employees, had netted
no tangible results when the first
session of the conference adjourned
tonight. 1t will meet again tomorrow
and there may be some changes in the
demands. 1t is expected the entire
matter will be threshed out before the
final end of the conferences.
The governments attitude toward
demands for increased pay was out
lined by Director General Hines. AT
ter Mr.. Hines had read his state
ment the conference adjourned until
late today when the wage question will
be discussed
Neither railroad administration lead
ers nor union officers would discuss
what had transpired. They said it had
been agreed the administration would
make statement for the public at the
end of the second conference.
No Compulsory Consolidation.
Washington, Feb. 3-Plans for the
compulsory consolidation of railroads
as provided under the Cummins bill
We're eliminated from the railroad bill
today by the house and senate con-
fereeS who also agreed to strike out
senate provisions providing for the
establishment. of transportation
board. Duties that We're to have been
assigned the board will instead in the
main go to the interstate commerce
commission it was announced.
In reaching this agreement, the
senate conferees receded from their
position in support of compulsory con-
solidation and establishment of the
transportation board.
House provisions, however, which
include permissiVe consolidation by
the roads will be retained Senator
Cummins announced. In addition the
consolidation provisions of the Esch
bill will be strengthened so the in
terState commerce commission will be
authorized to work out a general con-
solidation plan in which all consoli-
dations must fit.
The conferees also reached an agree
ment whereby carriers can challenge
intrastate rates provided by state
commission, but before doing so they
must submit their proposed substi-
tute rates to the Interstate commerce
commission for it's approval.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The squeezing
of water from railroad stocks and
the placing of the roads on stable
financial basis was urged in n brief
filed with the house and senate con
ferees on railroad legislation today by
the Citizens National Railroad league.
A guaranteed return of at least 6
per cent on the value of the properties
and establishment of a revolving fund
of one billion dollars instead Of $780,
600 900 so the railroads can secure
financial assistance at low interest
rates and thus preclude the necessity
of their having to go to the old Wall
ST. interests for their financing" also
were recommended.
Interests of both the country and
the carriers would be protected, the
brief said, if the government would
find for from ten to fifteen years the
entire amount which the railroads now
owes the roads.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 3.-When
bread consumers get tired of paying
from to 9 cents a pound for flour,
they can buy it from Uncle Sam for
from to Z cents. Only for this the
art of making bread would soon be-
come a lost art.
Both white and whole wheat flour
is now selling retail in most parts
of the country for around cents q
pound. This makes it a waste of time
and fuel for the housewives to bake
bread when they can buy it at 10
cents n loaf. The strange thing about
the whole situation is, the house
wives are more particular about the
kind of flour they use than they are
about the kind of bread.
This is shown by the fact that
wheat for the high patent flours has
gone up, despite the governments of
