Now, just let me have your un-

final clincher into the arguments you
are turning over in that bean Of
yours as to coming to the July camp.
AS | once mentioned, Plattsburg was
good but: At Plattsburg we lived in
the same kind of tents set right out
in the bIistering sun while here the
camp is located in one of the prettiest
groves you ever didn't see. Great
tall pines and oaks arch above US,
clear over to the parade grounds,
throwing on the terra frma one more
great flock of dark cooling shade.

not on the calendar. We don't even
have to wear our lids when we go to
the mess hall, several hundred feet
from our tents. The camp is on the
side of four percent hill, just slopes
enough to drain web.
The Chattan1 oga bunch that had
the preparation of the camp in charge
fixed it up more like C4-autauqua

INDUSTRIAL RESPONSIVENESS.

The Industrial Preparedness inventory
of the United States is the lion and mouse
down to date.
A number of our manufacturers al. first
doubted the ability of their plants to aid
the government in times of national crisis,
but it has now been clearly demonstrated
that eighty per cent of the industries of
America could be concentrated on pro-
ducing supplies necessary for modern war
fare
It has been learned. for instance, that a
dye factory may be transformed within a
week or ten days into plant for the pro-
duction of high explosives. The committee
on industrial preparedness, enlisting as it
has, the best scientific and commercial
brains in the country, thoroughly under
stands all this and is guiding its labors
thereby.

merely striking them over the head

His burglar friend comes in and

wealthy widow.
If there is anything funnier than
Chaplin's walk, it is his run. He is
constantly logging policemen in a
manner to cause merriment to all.

PROUD OF THE PAST.

Pensacola should have an historical
society. The most historic city of the
United States, with the flags of five nations
making a background for its legends and
traditions, yet the visitors and tourists who
come to this city find it difficult to secure
historical data and the children of the city
are unfamiliar with most of the historical
incidents which have contributed to the
city's development during the hundreds OF
years since its founding.
How many persons in Pensacola know
where Gage Hill is, or why it was so
named? The Confederate monument
stands on this hill, at the head Of what is
now Palafox street, and just south of
where this monument stands, the English,
in 1772, built fort which they named Fort
George, in honor of his Majesty, George
III, of England The hill upon which it
was constructed was called Gage hill, after
General Gage, of Boston fame. In 1873,
when Florida again became Spanish
province, the name of this fort was changed
to that of Fort San Miguel est. Michael).

Fort Pickens now stands, after its destruc-

where Fort Barrancas now stands. Another
picture shows the capture of Pensacola by
the Spanish and French armies in 1871, the
surrender of the English and the destruc-
ton of Fort San Miguel, the ruins of which
still remain on the hill hat the head of Pal
afox street, Is feet above the bay.
1t is probable that not one person in one
hundred who passes Gage Hill or old Fort
San Miguel, could give the names of these
landmarks to a stranger, or could recite
anything of their history
Pensacola should have an historical
society, the chief duty of which should be
to preserve records of the past, and to pub
lish from time to time historical papers
which would be of value to the resident of
the city and of interest to the visitor in
quest of information.

Charley Chaplin in police

Charley Chaplin's latest Essanay-
Chaplin, Police" which appears on
the same bill with playing With
Fire" today, is a household word.
In this picture Chaplin is a re-
leased convict. A prison parson ex-
horts him to go straight and takes
the SIS which was given him on his
discharge. Chaplin's efforts to re-
cover the money are mirth provoking.
He falls in with a burglar whom he
knew in prison. They try to break
into a house. The Jimmy" will not
open the window, so Chaplin walks
in the door which was open all the
time.
He breaks open the mail box, the
piano and the kitchen stove-being a
rather inexperienced burglar-and
then contents himself with stealing
the flowers off the table, much to the
disgust of his accomplice, who takes
the rings of the lady of the house.
She saves Chaplin from arrest and
gives him some change. He goes to
a ten-cent lodging house and demon

A NATIONAL ExTRAvAGANcE.

Human carelessness causes most fires.
Acting upon this fact, many foreign munic-
qualities never have a conhagration, or even
little blaze, but that somebody goes to
jail for It. The result of this system is a
very small fire waste annually.
Among our national extravagances, none
is more conspicuous and unnecessary than
our annual losses by fire, and from an esti-
mate of the property damage for the first
i've months of 1916, it looks as if the in
surance companies are in for an unusually
hard year.
The total fire loss to the end of MAY
was over $133, 100000 This sum is nearly
$30,000000 greater than the total for the
same months of the preceding year In
May of this year there were eight fires
which cost their respective communities
more than $4,000 each.
Except in the case of earthquake OF
lightning, fires are due to some condition
of human ineficiency.
But it is our national habit to svmpa-
thize with losers by fire, no matter what
the cause. Only in cases of loss of life dc
we ever attempt to impress property
owners with a sense of their personal re
sponsibility for disaster.
The European way seems hard to Ameri
cans, but it has its points.
If the owners or occupants of property
III this country on which a fire occurred
were looked upon as a menace to public
welfare and held accountable to the com
munity, fire statistics could shortly be reg
1stered in much smaller figures than those
for the first half of this year.

humble offerings as worthy of space

Florida and Washington friends of

Whether it would be possible for
the Jacksonville man to win this hon

BoNDSNIEN OF L. Il. NELSON,
FORMER POSTMASTER AT
PONCE DE LEON, DECIDE TO
WITHDRAW FROM PAPER.

L. Il. Nelson, former postmaster for
about two years at Ponce de Leon,
Fla, in Walton county and on the P.
& A. road, was returned from New
Orleans, yesterday morning and was
placed in the Escambia county Jail,
where he win probably remain until
the November term Of the federal
court. He is under charges of en-
bezZlement of government postal
funds, and was arrested some weeks
ago. The reason for his return from
New Orleans, yesterday, was because
the sureties in his bond wished to
withdraw from the paper, having been
informed, it is said, that Nelson was
in the Crescent City, and outside the
jurisdiction of the court.
Deputy G. Mcmillan, from the office
of United States Marshal JAS B. Per-
kins, made the trip, at the instance
of the bondsmen, to bring Nelson back
to Pensacola. 1t was stated that Nell
son was not trying to violate the
bond, but was in search Of work, and
went on to New Orleans, looking for
something to do. He thought he was
victim of hard luck when taken in
custody in New Orleans, for return
here.

SETTLE IT BY THE FACTS.

For some time public interest has been centered upon the conference which has been held by the represen- tatives of the railroads and those of the railroad brotherhoods in an effort to reach an agreement regarding the demands which have been presented by the latter. It has been evident from each days reports of the doings that little progress was being made towards an adjustment of the situa- ton.
 There has been little inclination to get down to and to be governed by the facts and yet that is the basis up- on which an adjustment should be se- cured. The men consider that they are entitled to improved conditions of employment, shorter hours and therc- fore better wages. but it is maintained by the heads of the railroad system, who were delegated to meet the brotherhood delegates, that their claims are unreasonable and that it would be Impossible to meet them. The result 30 far is that the conference has fail- ed and during the, ensuing month a vote will be taken among the men as to whether or not they will sanction } strflpe, if their demands cannot be obtained otherwise.
 To vote to strike means involving .he public, and before anything is at- tempted along that line there should be a submission of the points involved .o arbitration. That would permit the bringing out of the facts. It would allow the railroad men to show lhat they are entitled to what they ask, and it would give the railroads a chance to show that they cannot af- lord to meet the requests, out of which disclosures it would be possible to reach fair settlement of the dispute, which is no more than any of those concerned should ask and only what !hey should be striving to obtain. It would likewise give to the public that consideration to which 1t is entitled.
