ToDAx's POEM
I HAVE LOOKED INTO
 ALI MEMS HEAT

 I have looked into all mems hearts. Like houses at night unshuttered they stand, And walk in the street, in the dark, and on either hand There are hollow housesS mems hearts. They think that the curtains are drawn, Yet see their shadows suddenly kneel To pray, tor laughing and reckless as drunkards reel Into deep sleep till dawn. And I see an immortal child With it's quaint high dreams and won- dering eyes Sleeping beneath that hard worn body Like a mummy case. deh4ed. And hear an immortal cry Of splendor strain through the sod- den words Like a flight of brave-w1nged heaven
 desirous birds From a swamp where poisons lie. I have looked into all mems hearts, Oh, secret, terrible houses of beauty
 and pain! And can not be gay, but can not
 be bitter again, Since looked into all mems hearts.

NO DELEGATES
TO ORLANDO
West Florida Has No Rea-
son to Join the
State.

In speaking of the proposed Florida
Chamber of Commerce, statewide
organization planned for Florida, Sec
rotary Phillips of the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce, stated yester-
day that there is nothing to be gained
for West Florida in joining the larg-
er association and it would probably
mean more expense for general ed
vertising.
The move is of recent origin and
was started by the Florida East Coast
Chamber of Commerce. All of the
organizations of the state are asked
to send delegates to a convention to
be held at Orlando, July IL, II and
Is, to formulate a statewide move
ment for development Of Florida re-
souyces.
Continuing Mr.. Phillips said that
Wes. Florida is a unit in itself, and
is self sufficient for her own develop
ment. The political is the only tie
by which West Florida is bound to
the rest of the state, he said, and,
sooner or later the time will come
when even that bond will be severed.

START NEW REGIMENT
LOCAL COMPANY SOON
TO BE MUSTERED IN
Need to Get the Boys in the
Field as Soon as Possible,
Is Expected Black Point
Camping Ground.

J. F. Phillips, temporary captain
of the local military company, which
was lately formed here, yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from Major h. l..
Covington, Jr., Jacksonville, asking
about the status of the new Pensa-
cola company, and how soon it could
be mustered in. The wire showed
that some considerable anxiety was
being manifested relative to the PEN
saoola unit.
Mr.. Phillips replied that the com
pany was now ready for muster, and
that the list of seventy-three volun-
teers was being mailed Monday night
to the adjutant general. 1t is expect
ed that the local company will be ac-
tually mustered into service before
the end of this week, and that the
Pensacola boys, along with a good
many other companies, will shortly
be ordered to entrain and go to Black
Point.
The already modified second regi-
ment of Florida, which is now at
Black Point, in Duval county, is leav-
ing shortly for Mexico, and the de-
partment looks forward to filling the
camping ground with another and a
newer regiment.

AS ONISHING
HERE
D. A. Lee, Absent Ten
Years, Hardly Recognizes
City's Improvements

D. A. Lee, who has been interested
in government work for the past
dozen or more years, and who has
been absent from Pensacola, his for
mer home, for the past ten years, re-
turned here late Saturday night, ac-
companied by James w. Ely, coming
from Key West, where they have just
completed a government job, for
which Harry Monk, also a resident
of Pensacola, had the contract.
'When l left here ten years ago,
said Mr.. Lee last night on Palafox
street, as he reformed many acquain-
tances, "they were just laying the
foundation for the Brent building. At
that time there was no Blount build
ing completed, no San Carlos hotel,
no completed city and county build
ings, and the paving, well, it was just
five blocks long. That was on PaIa-
fox street. My surprises began when
the train stopped at the beautifus
railroad station. Where you GO
ing, Ely?' l remarked to Mr.. Ely,
who announced this was the place we
were bound for. Well, since then, it
has been a complete, unbroken series
of surprises. Just you think how YOU
would feel when going into town
where you thought you knew every
thing and everybody and find such d
change. tell you, it's a completely
rebuilt Pensacola which 1 find, and
when yesterday made my way down
the street just could not help stand
ing in the center Of Garden street
where the paving ended when I was
here before, and looking east and
west, and north and south, on PaIa-
fox street. If there is one thing that
Pensacola should be proud of it is
this improvement. / just cannot yet
bring myself into the belief that
once resided in the old town as l re.
member it. 1t is rebuilt, a new towr
on ali sides, and it is a pleasure tt
! come back and find things so com.
pletely changed, and for the best"

Lansing Spurns Mediation
Which Was Accepted
BY Carranza.
10000 MEN OFF
FOR THE FRONT
War Department Is Chatting
Under Delays Due to
Congress
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, June 26.--Eforts to-
wards Latin-American mediation, fav-
ored by Carranza officials, collapsed
today without reaching the stage of
a formal proposal to the United
States. Secretary Lansing made is
plain to Minister CaIderon of Bolivia
that the United States could see moth
ing in the situation that would war
rant arbitration. It is understood
that Secretary Lansing told Calderon
that the blame for the grave outlook
rested with Carranza. The attitude
of the United States is so fully out
lined that Calderon did not mention
the original purpose of his call at
the state department, which was to
ask the United States to entertain
mediation proposals from several
Latin-American republics. When Cal
deron left the state department he
said the time seemed "inopportune.
He indicated however, that an at
tempt to arrange mediation might be
renewed if Carranza's reply to Lam
sings last note furnished any basis
for such proposal.
The United States is waiting for
Carranza's reply to the note sent yes
terday demanding the release of pris-
oners taken at Carrizal, and formal
diplomatic announcements of intents.
The note reached Mexico City last
night. Undoubtedly it was delivered
today. An answer is looked for in
a day or two at the most.
Congress and the war department
in the meantime are taking every
step to put General Funston in a po-
sition to defend the border adequately
should hostilities begin this week, al
though an aggressive action may be
delayed. Indications are tonight that
ten thousand additional men might
reach the border this week. In two
weeks probably fifty thousand win be
transported south, and in three weeks
the whole force summoned by Presi-
dent Wilson will be moved.
It is still impossible tonight to
make an accurate estimate of the
force to reach General Funston this
week.
The house passed the annual army
appropriation bill after adding $685.
100000 for an emergency. The emer-
gency deficiency bill carrying $685.
100000 for the militia viii be pre-
scented tomorrow. The total esti-
mates for the quartermaster's de-
partment alone, submitted to congress
today, exceeds hundred million.
The total of the army appropria-
ton bill as passed BY the house is
hundred and eight million, IN which
was included five hundred thousand
to two million for training camps.
The Hay resolution for drafting
militia INFO the federal service was
amended by the senate to eliminate
the million dollars appropriated for
the dependents of guardsmen and az.
thorizing the discharge of nilitiamen
with dependents instead. It must CO
back to the house and the war de.
partment is chafng under the deIav
it causes in putting troops into fed
eral service.

EXTRACTS OF ROOSEVELT'S

GentIemen-In accordance with the

national convention as soon as had
received the notification that it had

communicate to you my reasons for

The platform put forth in 1912 was
much the most important public doc

since the death of Abraham Lincoln.
It represented the first effort on a
large scale to translate abstract
formulas Of economic and social JUS

of Washington and Lincoln to the
need of the United States in the
twentieth century. No finer effort

Says He Bought
a Freezer But
Sold a Stoue

Cleo Madison's case is perplex-
ing the police because of his app
parent versatility.
Cleo was arrested Monday on
the charge of being a dangerous
and suspicious character. Cleo is
a kullud gen'man, and he had a
perfectly delightful ice cream
freezer, which he is alleged to
have stolen. He averred, deposed,
asserted, stated and said, how
ever, that he bought it from a GER
tain lady here. When she was APP
preached in the premises, she was
considerably astonished and said
that far from selling Cleo an ice
cream freezer, she had bought q
oew stove from him.
The question is, did Cleo hook
the stove as well?
If so, it looks like a case of a
hot headed man getting cold feet.
The recorder, however, will un-
ravel the mystery this morning.
