DEVOTE MUCH SPACE TO
TO AMERICAN PREPAREDNESS

SHANGHAI, Sept. English news
papers in Chinese treaty ports devo4e
much space to discussion of the Amer
lean naval building program. Prac-
tically all the English papers have
printed editorials on the subject in
which they speculate as to what use
the United States will make of great
fleet after it acquires it.
The following comment from the
North China Daily News of Shanghai
is typical Of the English expressions.
America obviously intends to have a
big fleet. What, when it is ready, does
she intend to do with it? Presumably
we shall get an answer when we know
what 'undiluted Americanism' means. .

It Is announced that the section OF
the Lincoln highway between Aurora
and Geneva, ILL.,, q distance Of ten
miles, is to be electrically lighted for
the benefit Of travellers at night
Through the city Of Aurora the high
way is already marked by colored

Road improvement In New York STATE.
New York towns and counties placed
contracts for nearly 200 miles Of con-
crete streets and roads last year, and
more than 10 miles Of these were COM
pleted during the year. Contracts were
let in thirty-two counties for 2,291 1858
square yards Of concrete paving, SUM-
cient for PA miles Of sixteen foot
paved surface. At the end Of the year
1,320,63S square yards had been COM
pleted, equivalent to 40 miles of six
teen foot roads. Many Of the pieces Of
road were put down in towns and were
more than sixteen feet wide. SO the ac-
tual mileage completed was q little
more than 11O.
Suffolk county, N. T., led, with 2s3,
SS3 square yards, or about twenty

On the train he was travelling with a

back to the smoking compartment,
leaving his friend in his seat. Then
he called the conductor to him.
"That man up yonder," says Wood.

That always seems to soOthe him. If
he tries to leave his seat don't let him.
He may try to convince you that he's
perfectly sane, and he can put up a
good story, too, for he really acts all
right most Of the time. He's clever

In few minutes the conductor came
running back to Wood and said:
"Your friends all right, but there's
a crazy woman back in the next car,
and they can't handle her. You prob
ably know more about such people
than anybody else aboard. So I'll have
to get you to come back and help us

Before Wood could demonstrate the

obliged to ride with her until she got

NEGRO s LEG BROKE
BY CHARGE FROM AN
UNLOADED' WEAPON
POLICE, WHO INVESTIGATED
REPORT OF SOMEONE HAVING
BEEN SHOT, FOUND COLoRED
MAN NAMED HUBBARD HURT.

At 1920 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Chief Sanders received a tele-
phone message from c. E. Call, at the
corner of jackson and c streets,
stating that someone had been shot,
near that vicinity, and it was believed
had been badly hurt. The chief and
Officer Harrington Immediately went
to the scene, and after some consid-
cradle searching, discovered a negro
named Hubbard, it is stated, suffering
from broken leg. The further de-
velopment in the investigation led to
the arrest of a negro named Ed.
Clopton, who was charged with dis
charging firearms in the city limits,
and also with assaulting with gun.
Clopton was not given the privilege
of bail last night, the police deciding
to keep, him in custody to await the
result of wounds which had been in
f1icted, according to witnesses, by a
gun which Clopton had. The negro
under arrest claimed that 'he was
cleaning the gun when it went off, y
but as the same negro some time since
was arrested for discharging firearms
in the city limits, it was decided to
further look into the trouble,
Last night the negro, Clopton,
called the turnkey to his cell and fur
nished a list of witnesses to appear
in his behalf at the recorders court
this morning. Then he is alleged to
have made the statement that Hub
bard was loading the gun, or had
loaded it and was thought to have
removed the charge, when a number
of negroes stood around. Shortly
afterward, when Clopton had the gun
in his hand, it was charged, it sud
denly went off accidentally, it is
claimed, and the charge tore through
Hubbard's leg. What the police did
not think looked just right was the
fact that the accident" was not re-
ported to headquarters as in the ordi-
nary course of things, it should have
been, and this viii be a feature which
will be cleared up this morning, if
the case comes for hearing. Hub
bard, the injured party, will not be
able to appear in the case for some
time.

Pensacola to Accommodate
Her Winter Visitors.

The movement to erect modern hotel
with number of cottages at some point
near the bay or gulf is one that should have
the support of all citizens, for it will not
ONLY afford accommodations for those Wis
itors who already come here each winter,
but also serve to increase the number OF
winter visitors of the wealthy class very
materially.
On Friday a member of The Journal
staff, in conversation with Pensacolian
who had visited California this summer,
was told the following story which goes
far to show the need here of hotel and
cottages near the water.
The Pensacolian said that in California
he met very interesting family who had
spent great deal of time in this section OF
the state. The Pensacolian spoke with
pride of Pensacola and the tourist acknowl-
edged the charm of the city, and then said
1--WE did not stay in Pensacola because
we wanted to be near the water and could
find no hotel near enough to be convenient.
The water was to us the chief attraction of
your city but we did not even find on your
wharves, when we viewed your shipping,
any resting place in the way of benches or
seats of any kind, and there were no hotels
or boarding places near enough to give us
tie view OI the water OF the water. sports
that we wanted
This complaint may have been bit un-
fair, for there are hotels and boarding
houses very convenient to the water But
the fact remains that there is directly upon
the bayshore or the gulf beach, no large
hotel Of any kind for the convenience and
pleasure of visitors who come to Pensacola
especially for its boating and bathing.
The new hotel and cottages, which are
TO be fitted with all modern conveniences,
will fill need that grows with each pass
ing season, for more and more do people in
Pensacola spend their summers at home.
and there is constant growth in the mum
Der OF tourists who visit Pensacola each
season, and this number will increase &C
cording to the ratio in which it is adver-
tised and the convenience found here after
the city is reached

Milk AS. a Bracer;
Substitute for Booze.

War in Europe and prohibitions spread
in this country has resulted in combined
boost for mild eyed. gentle, cud chewing
"bossy."
France is finding milk an excellent sub
stitute for absinthe which she discarded
when hostilities started and our farmers in
Oregon, which recently went dry now
call for a "hot milk high-bal1' instead of
applejack.
The Pasteur Institute of Paris has Just
made the declaration that milk is one of
the most powerful stimulants known 1t
has been used literally to stimulate the
French soldiers before they go into battle
and with such good results that the French
government now urges the sale of milk in
preference to other soft drinks behind the
trenches when the men are off duty.
In Oregon the state dairymen's associa-
ton has started a campaign to popularize
milk as a substitute for booze
'.Hot milk is better stifnulant in case
of chill and exhaustion than whiskey," an
nounces the association in literature which
it is putting out in hopes Of turning idle
breweries into cowsheds.

boys dad can stay home and share baby's

WALKING TIGER IS
ALLEGED IN CASE OF.
MAN UNDER ARREST
OFFICER HALL PLACED BEHIND
THE BARS NEGRO WHO WAS
SAID TO HAVE BEEN FURNISH
ING DRINKS FROM BOTTLE.

Tom Robinson. colored, arrested
yesterday afternoon by Special Off
Ger Hall, is said to have been a sort
of walking blind tiger" according
to two OF three witnesses who Will
appear IN the case against Robinson,
in the city cou1t, this morning. Rob
inson will defend himself against a
charge Of selling liquor without a
license, and last night reports Of three
separate sales are said to have been
run down, with some measure of
success by the police department
Officer Hall secured information
early yesterday that some one was
selling drinks from a bottle, or was
selling filed bottles, in the lower
western part of the city. At several
points it was discovered some negroes
who had obtained supplies of liquor
from some mysterious source, it was
told, and at one house the officer
found a negro who is alleged to have
informed the police where he had got
ten the liquor he had been drinking.
That negro later faced Robinson and
reiterated his statement.
When Robinson was arrested he
had but little whiskey on him, two
or more bottles which had been part
" emptied, which the defendant
claimed to have consumed himself.
The case of selling without a license,
however, was made against him, and
he had made no bond last night.
In trying to run down rather
numerous sources of supply of liquor
yesterday, the greater part of the
afternoon was spent by Chief Sanders
and special officers. Unless it is
proven that the man who supplied
the liquor is at present under arrest,
there is still, it is thought, very
liberal supply station somewhere in
the lower western part of the city,
which the police have not yet dis
covered.

Let Germany Make
the Concessions.


1T is about time the people began to
show appreciation Of men while they are
actually doing their work and that the
newspapers left off assailing them, said
Henry Morgenthau, United States ambas-
sador TO Turkey who delivered eulogy to
President Wilson before the annual ban
quet OF the members of the American
Bankers Association.
It is unfortunately too true that men as
individuals and in the mass as a nation do
not show appreciation of public men dur
ing their hardest hours but wait until time
has given perspective.
Mr.. Morgenthau referred of course to
the attacks which are constantly being
made, upon the president from Republican
organs or from those quarters where SEN
sation takes always precedence of fact
Whatever differences of view may be
held at this time in regard to President
Wilson's policy, this is no time for attacks
upon the president. And be it said to their
credit, some of the presidents bitterest po-
litical enemies have been his fairest friends
during this great international crisis And
some of his fairest friends in ordinary
times have become his bitterest enemies,
in this moment when he needs not so much
the support of the country as he does the
spirit of fairness, the breadth of view which
while differing, forbears to assail
The. London Morning Post said, referr-
ing to President Wilson'S letter to Senator
Stone, chairman of the senate foreign re
lations committee: is the fate of Amer
lea, whether it will or not, to make a choice
between her own gods and Germany's
idols. President Wilson has sufficiently de-
hned the situation and in so doing he has
earned the respect of the civilized worl,.
And in that one word. civilized, lies the
explanation of the stand the president has
taken. It is civilization that must be up
held. It is the spirit of today that refuses
TO go back to the spirit of barbarism.
One backward step has already been
taken, when Germany scattered to the four
winds bits of paper which had once been
treaty with Belgium. Shall America help
Germany put civilization still a step fur
Their backward, by relinquishing the just
claims of American citizens to sail the high
seas?
1t is not a question of whether Ameri-
cans should jeopardize the country. 1t is
whether Germany shall dictate to Ameri-
can citizens contrary to international law
observed by all other civilized countries.
President Wilson does not want Ameri-
can citizens to place this country in a .haz-
ardous position. But that has nothing to
do with the principle involved
President Wilson says in his letter to
Senator Stone: 1T is important TO reflect
that If in this instance we allowed expedi-
ency to take. the place of principle, the door
would inevitably be opened to still further
concessions =
The president is right in believing that
the United States has no concessions to
make. Let Germany not America, make
the concessions.
