SAYS AMERICAN CAPITALISTS
WAX FAT AS WAR PROCEEDS

Shady Grove, Fla, Sept. 26. 1915.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
American capitalists have become
blood thirsty for profits. They are
now waxing fat over the manufacture
and sale of munitions of war to the
European belligerents. When the war
is over they will not rest until their
infamous products are bought in
large quantities and at high prices
from them by the American govern
nent. In other words, they are al
ready working for increased army and
navy for this country, SO that they
may De able to continue their Internal
industries.
The paid press is backing them up.
There is no voice raised for sanity,
peace and humanity. I, therefore, i'm
plore you to do everything in your
power to help fight the jingo menace.
It is your fight. It is a wise precau-
ton against hellish war and all that
goes with it for you to help educate
your fellow citizens against the SUBJ
tie and cunning arguments of the
lingo press and the jingo agitators. Il
you cannot meet the jingoed in verbal
combat let The Journal talk.

Bulgaria Is Given
Warning By Allies.

Sir Edward Grey's statement in the
House of Commons yesterday was
evidently made with the full knowl-
edge and assent of the nations allied
with Great Britain. It was a strong
and Straightforward declaration of
the Entente policy in the Balkans,
and primarily, a direct warning to
Bulgaria that any hostile move
against Serbia would be met by an
allied offensive against Bulgaria, re-
inforcing the Greek attack.
This offensive would be a grave
menace to Bulgaria. Russian ships
could cover the landing OF a Russian
force on Bulgaria's undefended Black
sea coast. British and French ships
could cover the landing of an Anglo
French expedition on the equally I'M
defended Aegen coast, where it would
convene with the invading Greek
armies. Conceding in Bulgaria's in.

which is highly improbable in tbs
event of Greek belligerency, Bulgaria
would still be compelled TO wage or

disposition to withdraw the threat i'm
piled by the recent mobilization order
and that disposition is likely to b
strengthened when Sir Edward Grey'l

Lyceum Course for
Pensacola High School.

The Pensacola High School is made
up Of some splendid young men and
young women, who are cultivating
fine cooperative spirit and school
loyalty which will do more than any
thing else to promote the work of
the Institution which is an important
part of the civic life, and nothing
the students have undertaken recent
ly is of greater Importance than the
lyceum course which they will present
this winter to the Pensacola public.
There is hardly anything these boys
and girls could have engaged in that
win go farther towards rounding out
their education and it is a splendid
thing for them as well as for the
community.
DeFuniak Springs has been made
one of the important tourist towns in
the state through its winter chau-
tauqua and there is no reason in the
world why Pensacola should not fol-
low DeFuniak's good example, in
maintaining a good lyceurn course
here. Such a course would rebound
not only to the credit of the High
School, but to the city as we'll, for
such a course as has been mapped
out for the High School students
would have a wonderful influence in
their development and the High
School is to be congratulated on hav.
ing secured the course of lectures anG
entertainments for the coming year.

extension Of our trade abroad. 1t is

South American Countries and re-
views in about forty pages of a very
clear and forcible style the situation
as regards the currency, the money

a
eially the ladies of the town, exerted
themselves to make them feel that
they were mere school boys and not
convicts.
On frquent occasions, particularly
Thanksgiving and Christmas, lsVge
parties visited the school carrying
such things to eat as young people
usually enjoy, viz: Fruit of various
kinds, nuts, candies, etc, and also
books and periodicals for them To-
read.
The pleasure manifested by the
boys for these membranes more
than paid the donors for their efforts
to make them happy. While Sunday
school was for sometime conducted at
the school, by some of the gentlemen
from Mariana, no one seemed to
think for a long while that the boys
might be brought in town to church,
until Mr.. Belch, was put in charge and
brought them, alternating each Sunday
with the different churches, where the
glad hand was always extended them
and warm welcome expressed. Be
it to the credit of the boys, not--a
single incident of misconduct while at
church can be recalled always re-
spectful to the time and place. 1t
must have been a source of joy to Mr..
Belch's kind heart for the boys to re-
fleet such credit on his teaching and
to see them so kindly received.
After Mr.. Belch's departure from
the school several superintendent
continued to bring the boys to church
until one came, who thought he knew
it all.
''The wonder was, and still the wonder
grew,
That one small head could carry all
he knew"
Of course, this superintendent,
knowing so much, outside help re-
taxed until he was succeeded by one
.who knew less. Several years age
I the boys were brought IN daily to a
meeting held by Rev. Burte Culpep-

ladies, out of the abundance of their
