MILLION DOLLAR
HOTELPLANNED
Bob Dalton Plans tn Build ALI
the-Year-' Round Resort at
Gulf Beach.

million dollar hotel for the Gulf
Beach, that is the intention of Bob Dali
ton.
Mr.. Dalton, proprietor Of the Dalton
house at Daytona, has been in Pensacola
for the past three days. and has been
shown over the city and surrounding
territory by the citizens, They have
kept him on the go from the time he
arrived in the city until he left for the
east coast on last nights train.
Mr.. Dalton is very enthusiastic over
the prospects for the future of Pensacola,
both as a winter and summer resort, and
declares that within a months time he
will have active work started on an
all-the-year round hotel somewhere on
the Gulf Beach. He estimates that the
cost will be in the neghbOrhood of
million dollars, and says he has faith
enough in the future prospects of Pen
sacola to establish such q resort. Mr..
Dalton is certain that with the climate
in this part of the state such a place
will bring tourists here both during the
summer and winter.
No more ideal spot could be selected
for hotel and pleasure resort, he de-
clares, and with the completion of the
Gulf Beach highway the place would be
thronged with visitors the year round
Mr. Dalton was attracted to Pensacola
by the boosters while on their tour Of
the east coast, and if his plans ma
terialize, and it seems more than likely
they will, il will he solely TO their ef
forts that he was induced to come here.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Dalton to
have in connection with the hotel golf
course, boats for fishing parties. bath
houses, and in fact everything obtain
able to make it a place where the guests
can enjoy themselves to the fullest ex-
tent.
Mr.. Dalton while here has been a guest
at the San Carlos hotel, and is loud in
his praise of that hostelry and its man
ager, Malcolm Yonge. He is also en-
thusiastic over his reception by the
people of Pensacola and is very anxious
to come here and locate.
He left last night the eastbound
train for the east coast. but will return
next Tuesday to complete final arrange
ments for his projects

GERMANS DENY
RESPONSIBILITY
Declare That All Europe is
Equally to Blame for
the War.
tey The Associated Press).

LONDON, March Awaiting ad-
vices from Berlin as to whether new
PROPOSALS are to be submitted to the
allies on Monday, DR.. Simons, the
German former secretary and the Ger
man experts are busy preparing re-
ply to some of the arguments used
by Premier Lloyd George in delivering
the allied ultimatum yesterday. The
Germans strongly object to the YER
dict of the allies that they were en-
tirely responsible for the war and the
premier's argument that if they taxed
themselves as France and England
had done, they would be able to pay
what is demanded of them. They
claim that internal taxes, such as those
on sugar, tobacco and spirits, have not
been taken into account and they are
prepared TO produce figures showing
the allies have underrated their impo-
sitions.
With regard to the question of re-
sponsibility for the war, the Germans
maintain the European powers were
equally at fault and cite a recent
speech by Mr.. Lloyd George, in which
he is quoted as saying that the world
drifted into the war.
ut is hard to make a man who be-
lieves he is innocent say he is guilty"
said one of the delegates today. 'As
for myself, would rather commit sui
eide than admit Germany alone was
responsible. Any government which
made such an admission would
promptly be overthrown. SO if the
allies are determined to carry out their
demands, they must impose them upon
us; they soon will find that the penal
ties which they outlined yesterday viii

in London that new propositions will
be laid before the supreme council but

through the senate.
President Wilson. in conformance with
custom, waited upon congress in its final

signing a few last-minute measures.
Among these were the sundry civil ap-

In addition to the army and immigra-

Little speech making marked today S
final proceedings and it was tame

JUST PLAIN

Former President Retires to
Home Apparently Relieved
of Responsibilities.
10y The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Eight
storm tossed years in the presidency,
filled with moments and scenes that
will live forever in human history,
ended today for Woodrow Wilson,
Just plain Woodrow Wilson now as
he himself smilingly asserted.
Under his own roof again, as pri-
vate citizen, the former. president
rested tonight with his burdens of
state transferred to other shoulders
and the shouting and tumult of pub
lie place behind him, And through a
day that had taxed his broken physi-
cal powers greatly he came smilingly
and with. whimsical and humorous
twist to his comments, yet with no
hint at regret in his retirement from
high office.
There was but one incident of the
day when that cheerful mood seemed
to fail. AS he stood in the presidents
room Mr. Wilson had been telling Sen
ator Knox that he would not witness
in the senate the Inauguration of Vice
President Coolidge as he doubted his
ability owing to his physical infirmi- :
ties to negotiate the few steps he must
climb.
"The senate has thrown me down, "
he said to the Pennsylvania senator
in reference to battles of the past and
the peace treaty, but I am not going
to fall down" ..-.
A moment later some one touched
his arm to call his atterraion to the
fact that Senator Lodge had arrived
in the room as head of the joint COM
mittee to inform the president that
the 66th congress stood ready for ad-
journment if he had no further com
munications to make to 1t. Mr. VIII
son turned toward the man who made
the fight against the treaty. His face
lost it's smile as he listened to the
senator's formal report and there was
in his own tone a touch of cool for
mality as he said:
"I have no further communication
to make: I appreciate your courtesy,
Good morning"
AS he said good bye to Mn. Wilson,
the incoming president displayed the
sympathy he felt for his stricken pre-
decessor. They clasped hands and Mr..
Harding said:
Good bye. Mr.. President. I know
you are glad to be relieved of your
burden and worries. l want 10 tell
you how much l appreciate the cour-
tesies you have extended to me
Mr.. Wilson seemed to agree that he
was glad to be free, for he even
gained in cheerfulness as he moved
out of the room, with Senator Knox
escorting him to the elevator.
Il can't get accustomed to this feel
ing" Mr.. Wilson said TO the senator
