ment to use this port.
Pensacola is the logical site for a.
naval base in southern waters. Dur
ing the war and the year immediate

tice, and it was conceded by a number
Of naval officers that Pensacola was

one of these officers, a man who ranks
high in the service of this country, said
that he believed that with coopera-
tion, it would be possible TO get the
government to utilize this port as the
naval base of southern waters, in
stead OF Guantanamo.
Such movement, backed by Tho
Chamber of Commerce. and other or
ganizations of the city, should bring
results and make this port the great
winter training ground of the navy.
Endorsement by the Chamber OF
Commerce, was also given the request
OF the Cuban government, now before
asking for power to bond for
port and road development, in order
that the financial conditions now OBJ

OPTIMISM PREVAILS
AT PEACE MEETING
Dali Eireann Wants Financial
Arrangement Between Two
Countries Explained.
tRy The AssoeIsted press,

LONDON. Oct. 13.-The Irish con-
ference sat for an hour and half to-
day, this being the third session since
the representatives Of the Dali Eireann
arrived in London, and adjourned un-
til II o'clock Friday morning. Premier
Lloyd George and the members of the
cabinet requiring the afternoon to con-
slider the question Of unemployment,
which Is momentarily uppernost in
their minds.
Michael Collins, head of the Irish
Republican army and Sin Fein minis
ter of finance, by seemingly uncon-
sidered remark that they were not re-
to a report that scrisis had been
reached, but Arthur Griffith. head Of
the irish delegation quickly corrected
this by informing the newspapermen
that the conference had merely been
adjourned and that they were coming
back In the morning.
Both sides observed the agreement
not to give out any information re-
garding the proceedings, but 1t is un-
derstood that alleged breaches OF the
truce again were mentioned.
What financial arrangements are to
be made between the two countries If
the Sim Fein accepts the governments
offer is a matter which the Dali
Eireann is anxious to have explained
and put on paper, while the existing

ment.
It is believed that the terms Of a
treaty viii be antecedent
to any agreement for the future gov
ernment of ireland, while another I'M
portant question Is that of judiciary.
Ulster has already set up her own
courts, but the Sim Fein would insist
on a judiciary for the whole OF Ire
land. to which it is understood Bel
fast would not strongly object.
Optimism is the prevailing note in
both the Sim Fein and British camps,
although it is admitted that the SUB
jecIs over which controversy is likely
10 arise have not yet been reached.
