THE SUBMARINES TRIP.

1t was a gallant feat-that trip of the
notwithstanding the blockade under
the allied fleets. It struck a note of adj
miration from the entire world, and we
are glad her gallant commander made the
return trip in safety to receive the decora-
tom of his kaiser and the kisses of his
kiddies
According to the press reports the
Deutschland reached Germany on August
%, twenty-three days out of Baltimore.
She reached Baltimore on July 9 after a
trip of sixteen days 1t, therefore, took the
Deutschland three months to make the
round trip.
Even the greatest 1eviathan of today will
not handle very much commerce on four
trips year, but when we consider that the
Deutschland's capacity is only $50 tons, it
is easy to see that the munitions and food
supplies she can carry will hardly be drop
in the bucket.
To supply Germany hundreds of subsea
frcighters are needed; that these hundreds
can be built under many years is extremely
doubtful. Their multiplication would but
invite disaster, while an occasional sub
marine may be able to slip through the
blockade. The fate of the Bremen, for in
stance, is extremely problematical, and that
is only the second boat.
The allies themselves must admire the
German resourcefulness in setting another
world record, for all the world loves a gal
| liant deed, by friend or by foe, but they
1 know it won't affect the war, one way OF
the other.

GIVE US A REST !

The British claim they sunk a German
battleship in a recent brush. Germany ad-
mits the vessel was struck, but says the
damage was slight. The German admiralty
per contra claims a British battleship was
heavily damaged by a German submarine.
The British admiralty deny it.-From the
news of the day.
Hammer and tongs You're a liar
You're another Heaven knows how long
they will keep it up.
Actions no longer speak louder than
words-that is, if they are naval actions.
Certainly there can't be much communi-
cation between Germany and England CON
sequently neither Germany nor England
can know much about what happened to
the other fellow. So why don't they stick
to their own lasts? Why don't Germany
and England simply say: Our ship was
not damaged and we don't know a thing
about the other fellows.
Will talk win the war? Poison gas has
failed, SO why try hot air?
1t looks as if both sides were playing to
the gallery.

TRUCKS CUTTING UP
FLOMATON ROAD

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Maybe you would like to print
some things about the Flomaton road
by a man who uses it.
It's only been year since the car
wrecking wooden culverts that every
one dreaded have been replaced with
substantial brick and concrete cul-
verts, an expenditure by our county
commissioners that is approved by
every one.
But another evil is annoying the
patrons of this road, and that is the
heavy trains of cumbersome, over
loaded soda water trucks that cover
the road twice a day as regular as
clock work. These trucks travel at
a speed of about twelve miles an
hour. When a man with his family
who usually likes to travel at a speed
of twenty miles an hour would like
room enough to pass he can blow his
horn till doom's day without budging
them an inch from the center of the
road. After he has followed in their
trail for miles, taking their sand
dust and grit, yes, clouds of it, some
times, he makes a drive to get by
and often at the risk of dumping his
whole outfit into the ditch alongside
of the road.
This road was never in the condi.
ton it is in now, and this is not 81
much from the storm of July MOI
from the ordinary wear, but from the
/ plunging, ploughing truck wheels O
these heavy wagons frequently bog
ging in the holes they have made b,
constant use, they pry out and go on
leaving these bog holes for the mex
truck behind, every truck wheel Ieav
ing the hole a little deeper.
/ Now, the men who own this bust
ness are good citizens, and we ar
sure do not know the injury thef
trucks are doing this road, nor tn
great annoyance to men and wonel
with families who must travel i
their trail.

BAYVIEW VISITED
BY LARGE CROWDS

Bayview Park was the gathering
place for hundreds Of people Friday
afternoon, and the water was filled
with bathers of all sizes and ages
during practically the entire last half
of the day. Of course, hundreds post
poned their trip until later in the day,
when the sun began to go down, and
last night the resort was a lively
place, with scores of children in the
early part of the night in the shoal
waters, while further out men, wo-
men, boys and girls enjoyed them
selves in the most convenient of bath
ing places to be found in this imme-
diate section:
The pavilion during the afternoon
was well occupied, large number,
who not caring to battle at the time,
sat and watched large numbers in
the water for hours.

that a dipping vat has been erected, even

that the machinery for packing house IN

better and farm lands are rising IN value;
that the Chamber of Commerce OF Pensa-
cola has assessed itself $500 year to meet
the deficiency in the county budget IN

agent in Escambia county; that our own
citizens, rather than load another tax on
the county, have raised the money to build
the gull beach highway, which will give

The SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

The Montgomery Journal is such
an excellent paper that we are fat
tered when it lifts matter from this
column into its editorial columns
without a word of credit.

Speaking about the cashier of a
certain bank, The Mobile Register
says, "He was an exception to the
general rule of bankers. He radiated
good humor." From which we infer
that the editors bank book always
showed healthy balance.
Chicago is talking about "our
Cubs" and Florida about "0ur Cats.

paper the other day, our good friend
r. V. c. Smith sent US an electric
