BRAZIL, OUR NEXT ALLY

Brazil, hesitating on the we'll known
brink ever since the United States took
the plunge, is expected to break with Ger
many any day-may have declared a state
of war before this reaches print.
Ever since the sinking of the Tijuca,
sentiment in Brazil, strong before, has
been clamoring for war, the president
himself acting as cheer leader; and now the
foreign relations committee of congress
has recommended revocation of Brazil's
declaration of neutrality, of April %, last,
as between the United States and Ger
many. This is the first step A break is
expected to follow, and then the formal de
ClaratlOn. Preparations are making to
seize the German ships, and apparently
precautions have been taken to prevent
their destruction or damage by their crews.
Brazil is breaking with Germany be
cause, like the greater part of the civilized
world, she has found the friendship Of the
kaiser too deadly-as the murder of nearly
hundred and fifty innocents a few days
ago on one ship has opened Spain's eyes
German influences were unremitting in
Brazil and all central and south American
countries, where millions of dollars were
spent to create sympathy for Germany;
even so they were in the United States; but
there are some things gold cannot buy, and
the heart of humanity is one of them; even

Brazil is joining the world to fight Ger

Editor Of The journal;
After reading in this mornings
Journal your enumeration of all our
natural and economic ADVANTAGES for
a environment, my thought was, what
pity YOU stopped there.
Few places are most blest, physiC-
ally. than Pensacola, but MIR. Editor
we are not responsible for this, our
responsibility begins with the moral
advantages which we have to offer
and did not see in your enumeration
any mention of that, nor have | eve-
seen or heard a boast of what we
have to offer in that line.
Every citizen of our town who
reads newspapers must have read the
determination announced by SecIe-
tary Of War Baker with reference
to locating military camps away from
immoral influences. he reminded
those in authority Of the responsible
ity which our government is assum-
ing in taking the direction of the
lives of so many young men at most
impressiOnaBre age and said in sub
stance that places that have not
pUTged themselves of what we all
know are moral snares need not eX-
| peCt consideration.
1t was a fine determination finely
spoken and brought many heal tv
amen from fathers and mothers all

fort this message from the secretary

Today while the public meeting

a delegation to call on General Wood,
was in progress, I saw within practic-
| ally a stones throw of the place
| where the meeting was assembled, a
! soldier, in uniform, sprawled out on
| the public sidewalk in a drunken
| stupOr. He remained there from nine
| o'clock this morning until three this
| afternoon, vet the law fOrbids fur

| Now let us ask ourselves this ques-
| ton, can we conscientiously commend
| ourselves for such a trust, we who
have made ourselves a hiss and by
| word throughout this section of the
| southland as the rendezvous of booze
vendors; we who tolerate a red light
district.
Can the committee which is to call
on General Wood reasonably expect
to succeed when the whole truth
about Us becomes known, as it is sure
to be?
Will you not ask our citizens if
they think our gain as purveZ ors of
booze and convenient places for in
diligence in vice has been worth the
| price we must now and in the future
| pay?
| You have happily expressed most
of these thoughts in your editorial
Of this morning. but as the father Of
a soldier, wished to add a word.

What Are You WORTH

Have you any idea? Did you ever
capitalize your wages and figure 1t
out? This is the way to ascertain how
much your labor is really worth.
For instance, man who has saved
$4,000 and invested it at per cent re-
ceives an annual income Of $1,000 a
year, or about $50 week.
The clerk in the Office or the work
man In \ the factory who gets $40 a
week therefore receives the income at
per cent ON an investment OF $40, 900.
He is $4,000 man-that is, he is
getting as much week by week as the
man with $4,000 who depends solely
upon the income from his investments
and who does not work for living.
The man who earns $40 week has
about the same income as the investor
with $4,000 put out at interest at s
per cent.
So labor is capital. It has a market
value. 1t can be called a commodity
because it can be sold by its owner the
same as any other possession he may
have.-John A. Sleicher in Leslie's.

And what Title Has

Everybody has been asking, by the
way, for a concise designation for the
Swiss minister,~as representing Ger
many pro TEN, and for the Spanish
ambassador at Berlin as representing
these United States.
A man who has been recently con-
nected with the American Embassy in
London was appealed to. What did
they call Ambassador Page, when they
wished to allude to him. not as the
American ambassador, but as the rep
resentative, say Of Austria in Eng
land? He had no answer.
They speak Of the American en-
bassy, Austrian branch: or OF the
American embassy, division of Aus
trian affairs, but 1 never heard any
one try to designate the American
ambassador as the Austrian repre-
sentative.
81 don't know just how you could
say il in EngIish-though it would
be easy enough in French. One could
cover it by alluding to DR.. Ritter as
the Charge d'affaires Allemandes, or
