John H. Towers Is
Picked by Secretary
Daniels for Big Work
When the Unifed States flies its
firdt airship across the Atlantie
Ocean and thereby beats Great Brit
ain, which is also making plans for
the first trans-Atlantic flight, it is
probable a Georgia man wili be
handling the conmtrols and ‘lrectlng
the job. F
Commander John H. Towers, for
merly of Rome, Ga., is the man picked
for the job by Josephus Daniels, Sec
retary of the Navy, according to in
formation which has leaked out in
Washington. Commander Towers a
few days ago was relieved from duty
with the Naval Bureau of Operations
and detailed to formulate plans for
the flight. It js hardly expected the
big aircraft will be ready before mid
summer, and the flight will awalt
favorable winds. But Towers thinks
the United States Navy can be ready
as quickly as England, if not quick
er.
Secret Comes Out.
Secretary Daniels, asked for details
by reporters at Washington, declined
to give any, but said an official an
‘nouncen\em would be made later.
The Navy Department had intended
keeping everything secret, but the
transfer of Commander Towers gave
it away. /
“Do you expect to beat the BritisH
in making the first flight across the
Atlantic?” Secretary Daniels was
asked,
“We hope to beat the world,” he
replied. :
Commander John H. Towers of
Rome, is the naval flyer who natural
ly would have been chosen for the big
flight, He distinguished himself in
the earliest days of naval aviation
by flying over Vera Cruz when the
American squadron under Admiral
Fletcher was there on “business” a
few years ago, and when Admiral
Fletcher visited Rome some time lat
er to inspect a proposed armor plate
plant site, he paid high tribute to
the Rome boy who had proved his
mettle in the brand new branch of
maval affairs,
Commander Towers—then only
Lieutenant Towers — married the
beautiful Miss Lily Sarstain, of fash
fonable Mayfair, in London, in 1915,
after their meeting at a shooting

party near Edinburgh. She was a
noted beauty and heiress, and it was
reported at the time that one of the
conditions she imposed upon him
was that he quit flying. But that
must have been a mistake, for Tow
ers has been one of the Navy's most
prominent~and daring aviators sincé
the outbreak of the great war.
The route to be taken in the first
trans-Atlantic flight probably will be
from somewhere near New York to
the Azores Islands, and thence to
#ingland or Ireland. The first leg of
the flight, from Long Island to San |
Miguel, would be about 2,360 nautical
miles, The principal problem is that
of building an aircraft which can
carry sufficient fuel for the long
flight. i

WASHINGTON, Feb, 13.—Packing
houses must in the future come underi
the control of the Federal Govern
ment, Clarence N, Ousley, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, declared be
fore the Senate agriculture committee
today. ‘
“No man can deny that the pu(:kers‘i
have indulged in questionable prac
tices in the past,” he said. “Now they
are getting so big and the lines they
control so diverse, that Congress must
provide some way of controlling
them.”
Ousley recommended passage of the:
Kendrick bill. which would give au
*Ju-ny\ to reculate the packers to the
Jepartmefit of Agriculture. He de
nied that the SIO,OOO loan his paper at
Fort Worth had received as a loan
from Armour and Swift had any ef
fect on its policy.
Benjamin C. Marsh, representing
the Farmers’ National Council, told
the committee that any packer ob-
Jecting to the recommendation of the

thereby that the present system gives

\ i
(By International News Service.)
PARIS, Feb. 13.—“The new armis
tice terms amount to an ultimatum to
Germany,” said M, Portinax today in
The Echo de Paris.
They include a command to th‘
Germans not to undertake any offen
sive against the Poles, continued this
writer. The new armistice conditions
are said to constitute a British com
promise between the American and
French viewpoints.
Marcel Hutin, famous French au
thority on military and political af
fairs, says Germany will be sufficient«
ly disarmed to “remove all fear of a
return to -an offensive against the
Allies.”
The French press generally takes
the view that the new conditions, now
officially approved, include a provis
ion that the armistice may be de
nounced on 48 hours’ notice unless
Germany fulfills all of the original
terms, Meanwhile military experts
will draw up further conditions to be
embodied in a new convention which
will remain in effect with the force

War Declarations.
War declarations require “special
legislation” under the terms of the
temporary constitution which has just
been adopted by the Germaa national
assembly.
Entrance of Germany into the pro

combined sanction of the national as
sembly and the State committee (rep
resenting the various States making
up Germany).

ed that Herr Scheidemann had not

tional News Service from Amsterdam
today said pcheidemann’s appoint
ment had formally taken place.)
Synopsis of Constitution,
The following is a synopsis of the
temporary constitution as it was
amended before iis approval Monday:
1. The assembly’s object is to adopt
a permanent constitution and national
laws,
2. The Government's proposals to
the assembly require the sanction of
a committee representing the several
free states, This committee is headed
by a Government member from each
state, the members from the larger
stater being apportioned to one vote
for each 1,000,000 inhabitants; how
ever, no state may have a membership
bigger than one-third of the total
membership of the committee
3. The committee is entitled to ad
dress the assembly at any time.
4. The assembly will adopt a fu
ture constitution, but the territory of
the free states shall not be changed
except with the consent of the inter
ested state, Laws will be adopted
and may be referred to a referendum
vote by the President if a disagree
ment arises,
5, Unimportant points are referred
to the old German constitution,
Power ‘of President.
6. The President will conduct the
iepublic’'s affairs with authority to
represent Germany in matters of In
‘u-rn:nin-nnl law. He will sign foreign
treaties on hehalf of the republic and
recelve Ambassadors, but each dee
laration of war and each policy treaty
requires special legislation, Foreign
treaties require the combined sanc
tion of the assembly and the state
committee, including agreements with
countries in the proposed league of
nations,
| 7. The assembly will elect a presi.
‘dent with an absolute majority and
the president retains office until his

Jacksonville Nurses
Abandon Sick to Go
On Strike for Rais
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Feb, 13.
Nearly 60 trained nurses of St
Luke's Hospital of this city are on
a strike today because an increase
in salary was refused. Only a few
nurses are left in the big hospital
and several members of the Red
Cross have volunteered to assist
until some definite decision can be
made by the strikers, A meeting
of all the prominent doctors here
was held last night, at which time
nothing of much importance con
cerning the strike was done.
This is the first strike of its kind
in Jacksonvil®. A large number of
patients are in the sick ward® and
the condition is termed serious by
sevaral officials of the institution.
That expenses have decreased con
siderably and that revenues from
freigh§ and passenger service are
showing adecided increase with an
appreciable increase in traveling are
the outstanding features of the re
port of Regional Director B. L. Win
chell to the Director General of Rail
‘roads of business transacted by the
Southeastern rallroads during the
year 1918,
The report shows a net revenue of
$124,500,419 from which amount tax
accruals . and uncollectible railway
revenues subtract the sum of $19,-
371,682, The percentage relation of
the net revenue to the «tandard
rallway operating return is 113.4, or
an increase of 13.4 over normal.
Economies made possible under the
unification of terminals, trains and
organizations was an important fac
tor in the financial showing made.
These methods of saving, added to
reducticns in expenses from consoli
dation of telegraph and telephones,
consolidation of general office forces,
elimination of departments and elimi
nation of special advertising ‘enabled
the regional director to shave $7,975,-
915 from the normal operating ex
pense. The saving resulting from
shortening car routes is estimated at
$2,072,610.
There wae an increase in car load
ing of 7.1 per cent over 1917, and an
ihcrease in city ticket office sales of
10,93 per cent and in passenger depot
sales of 55.12 per cent.
A remarkable feature noted in the
report is that the largely increased
volume of traffic was handled with
approximately the same number of
passenger train miles, including spe
¢ial troop trains.
