Lots of kinds here that we

Ladies' Warm Coats

We have a couple of racks
of odd Coats that we are put
ting out at prices that will be
interesting to any who want a
good warm Coat for the rest
of the season.
These Coats are mostly in
medium sizes. Are Coats that
are made in the seasons best
styles from cloths that are
made for service.
At S3.9S are few odd garments
in qualities that sold for $500.
At S4.9S are few good Coat
values that are worth -four times the
price asked
At one-half price are lot of odd
Coats in qualities and styles that
are the seasons best. Are Coats
that sold at from $1,000 to $500
and were extra good values. Now
to close at from $500 to $3.50.
If you want good garuAt, see
these values.
We have few odd Coats of our
latest models, that we cannot du-
plicate, that we are closing at much
less than the regular prices.

Planting White Pine and the Blister
Rust Disease.

Planters of forest trees should not be
discouraged by the publicity which the
white pine blister rust disease has won
recently. This publicity was originated
by the interstate committee, recently
organized in Boston, for the suppression
of the pine blister rust. This committee,
which includes representatives Of the
forestry departments of most of the
eastern states, is attempting to secure
from Congress an adequate appropria-
ton to eradicate the disease. That this
action is being taken shows that the
foresters are awake to the seriousness
of the situation, and that they do not
propose to allow the disease to escape
If similar action had been taken in the
early days of the gypsy moth infesta-

for Spring 1916
These Are Interesting
Values

We are putting prices on
what we have left in winter
merchandise to clean them up
in the next few weeks. While
you have three good winter
months to wear winter gar
ments, we must clean up just
such merchandise to make
room for our spring stocks,
which we must have here
when you want them.
The prices we are putting on a
lot of Suits should appeal to those
who want warm clothes to finish out
the season. Many of them are all
right for spring wear, but we must
turn them into money to pay our
spring stock.
At S6.9S are few odd Suits
in qualities that are good, and the
styles are not so much different
than the new spring models.
At 1898 are about 20 Suits in
plain eolors, such as Poplins, Gabar-
dimes, and Mixtures. Are qualities
that sold at from $500 to $500
and were good values at those prices.
Now only 1898.

A beautiful lot of new Yard
Wide Silks. These are all very
best Silks, with colors fast. A

No manufacturer will dare to
warrant all colors this season,

The commercial life in the Russia
Pale is lying waste. The merchants,
great and small, are ruined and I'M
employment is universal. In Poland
alone there are nearly 300 towns
that have suffered materially from
the war.
In Vienna alone there are over
10000 GaIician refugees.
These refugees are huddIed in inn
proVised lodging houses, in stables
and Easements and in the ruins of
former buildings.
The soup kitchens are mobbed
every day, and, while they give aid
to a few hundred, needy thousands
are on line cIamoring for the eIe-
mentary needs of existence.
The misery of Palestine is an old
story. Cut off from communication
with Europe, upon whose capital it
lives, its crops wasted, its fields fall
low and the plague destroying the
orange crop-the inhabitants of Pal
estine are indeed in sorry plight.

and Palestine struck by the war
storm and made homeless, sick and

would be realized for the broken war

own, but belong to all nations.

Advice to Tourists Pretty
Good for Other People, Too!

Don't write about Pensacola you
value your reputation. Tear up that
letter-nobody would believe it.
Suppose somebody told you that Pen
sacola is the prettiest city he has ever seen
and you knew he had been to Washing
ton, Monte Carlo, Paris, and the show
he wasn't too big. But he would be telling
the truth.
Suppose he described the public build
ings herein town of $4,000; the post
office; the school; that incompatible hos
pital Chang it, there isn't enough paper to
attempt an enumeration -chances are you
would think he was lightheaded, from the
bite of a hungry squirrel.
Then he would say that the stores are
the prettiest and the climate is the pleas
ATTEST and the surf bathing is the incest,
and the fishing is the bestest, and the mer-
chants are affablest, and the business men
are the boostingest.
Having warmed to his subject, he would
say the people are the generousest and
the hospitablest and the kindest
Then he would say something about our
streets, which are among the handsomest
in the country, with larger percentage
of pretty girls than anywhere else in the
creation; yes-and more politics to the
square inch
For Pensacola is place of superlatives
P. S.-Away back in 1860 when Jean
Ribaut first landed here, he said that
Florida was "the fairest, fruitfulest, and
pleasantest country in the world.

Mexico and Our
Duty to Humanity

Raids on the border, Carranzas open
antagonism, the rush of American troops
to the frontier-have proved the serious
ness of the Mexican situation, as discussed
prophetically in The Journal some time
ago.
Now the future is even easier to forsee
Concentration of troops on one side-hate
on the other; there can be but one outcome
A war with Mexico will give US north
ern Mexico-the region included by a line
drawn from Tampico TO the foot of Lower
California, with its Incompatible Magda-
lena Bay, converted into base for the
United States, instead of being a menace
should some other power decide to strike
US from that quarter.
But no American can fight for gain; in
stead of making a conquest of northern
Mexico, the United States would follow
its immemorial custom and make ample
reimbursement to Mexico for the loss of
territory over which as matter of fact
the central government has no control
whatever, either as regards other nations,
or itself
With the money he would receive for
this territory, Carranza could put his own
government on sound basis, and save his
people further agony The United States
IS strong enough to pacify northern
Mexico, and this is the only means of pro-
tectlng American citizens from murder.

America More Powerful
Than Any Warning Nation

There are many who contend that the
United States would not feel war with
Germany very much" These persons
either are sadly misinformed or are judg-
ing present-day warfare by the past, when.
geographical distances meant nearly every
thing.
The United States cannot have war
merely with an embargo on foodstuffs de-
stined for the central powers and unlimited
credit and great manufacture of munitions
for the allies.
With these facts fully recognized, and
unprepared as we are, still no one should
misunderstood the consequences of having
the United States as an antagonist.
The United States, as a nation, has
grown so big and strong and so quietly
and unspectacularly that it has no idea
how strong it has grown or how hard its
blows can be, once it decides to enter any
war on fighting basis instead of check
book basis. The people of the United States
will find themselves and discover their
giant strength-and use it.
Germany has great scholars and think
ers and students of conditions Doubtless,
Germans early protestations of friendship
for the United States were at least partial
ly the result of fairly accurate idea, in in
Auential quarters, of the wonderful poten-
tial force of the United States, and desire
not to arouse it
The United States is greater and more
powerful nation than any nation engaged
in European warfare It is unprepared
and defenseless. 1t has made no effort for
a military establishment. What little has
been done, thus far, since the European
war started, has been solely for the pur-
pose of dragging our unpreparedness into
the light and advocating change
Once the United States turns its efforts
and energies in the direction of military
system, it will become the most dangerous
opponent on the globe. The wealth of the
United States is greater than that of the
three greatest European nations. The
value of its annual products is not much
smaller than that of all Europe put to-
gether.
Warfare is foreign and strange to US.
There is no great popular sentiment for it
But despite the errors we will make in
changing conditions to meet new necessit-
les, and not considering at all the moral eff
feet OF our power as a people, this country
is well able to excel any other nation in
warfare. And, being human, it will do it, il
necessary.

ROTARIAN RIVALRY
To RAISE FUNDS
is TALK OF DAY
INTEREST IS KEEN IN WHICH
TEAM WILL BRING HOME THE
BACON-PRIZE TO WINNING
TEAM.

Tomorrow begins the race to de-
eide which line of business is the
best money-getter. Teams represent
ing, bankers, grocers, musicians, dry
goods dealers, naval stores, hotel men,
railroads, ETC., will compete.
Just because Max Bear does one of
the largest wholesale grocery bust
ness's in the south, it does not mean
that his team will book more sub
scriptions for the Gulf Beach High
way. In fact Earl Thornton, who
draws money only from the city fl
nances, stated that his team would
beat them all. 1t is rumored that
Percy Pane has already been prom
ised 5000 subscriptions, but you al
ways hear lot of footing and noise
when railroad starts an engine or
anything else. R. M. Wells says that
to win, is even a softer proposition
than his mattresses, lille Emanuel is
making more noise even than his Vic
trolas.
The team obtaining tn fewest sub
scriptions is to take the team obtain
ing the most subscriptions on on auto
trip to the Gulf Beach. Many
are anxious to see how it looks
now and how it will look in
few months. There is quite some
betting going on in town. Some fav-
or insurers. Some inn keepers, and
some lawyers. Below is the lineup:
