A NIGHTMARE

What is happening, or may happen in
Russia, is any mans guess.
There is no encyclopedia of facts to
guide us here in Pensacola, nor in Wash
ington, nor even in Petrograd this morn
ing.
The popular pastime of the day will be
to dope out the situation. And there are
as many theories of the case as there are
moves on a chess board.
But on the face of it, the situation seems
critical indeed, and chiefly from this stand
point, that if Germany has been able so to
exploit Russian public opinion for her own
ends, there is no telling where this road
may lead.
The extreme view of Russia turning on
the allies as partner of the Hun does not
violate reason.
The very captivation and semi-assimila-
ton Of Russia as German province is not
too far to look, except
That out in the Pacific is Japan, with
eyes and ears acutely attuned to the future
developments in the East
There may be civil war in Russia, the
Kerensky government may finally prevail,
or-Japan may step in and either force
Russia to continue the war or make war up
on her in turn.
In any event the giant but ham strung
bear is out Of the running SO tar as America
and the western nations areconceTned- And
this is the least pessmistic thing that can be
sold of the situation.
If the wheels of fortune SO turn that the
the big former empire makes peace with
Germany, and Japan does not take hand,
the situation is oninous indeed, and means
prolongation of the war beyond the ken
of us.
And it may be added that we should long
have been prepared for just this debacle.

THE SLACkER" IS
PATRIOTIC LESSON

| The story of "The Stacker which
comes to the Isis, Sunday, for two
run, is as follows:
Margaret Christy has. for two years
been engaged to Robert Wallace. Con-
tented with the usual round OF DIM
ners and receptions, he does not ask
her to set date for the wedding.
John Harding, his best friend, and
George Wallace, his younger brother,
are much interested in the talk of
impending war, and express their
anxiety to enlist, but he does not
share their patriotism. Finally war
is declared. When Robert reads the
| announcement that single men will
| be called first, he insists on being
married at once
| Margaret comes from line of
| patriots. After the honeymoon, she
| plunges into the work of recruiting.
Much to her husbands disgust, she
insists that he accompany her on
| these excursions. While she adj
dresses the crowds, he sits back in the
| Limousine, utterly bored with all these
ADMINISTRATIONS. Margaret seems in
spired, and she win many recruits.
A musicale Is given. George Wal
| lace, who has enlisted in the navy,
attends in his uniform, and IS repri-
manded by his brother for doing so.
John Harding, in an officers uni
form, resents the remark. He calls
attention to the fact that Robert is
not IN uniform, and Robert admits
that he married to escape service.
Margaret overhears his admission.
Heartsick, she pours forth the walls
of her wrath and indignation, telling
him how despicable she considers him.
She fairly flags him with her scorn,
telling him of her shame at having
| married Stacker. All night long he
ponders over her words. In the morn
ing he sees some children playing. A
tiny girl is waving an American flag.
A big boy~takas-it away from her.
George Wallace and "a drunken Ger
man are drawn into the fight, and
the German knocks George down.
Robert has been watching the scene,
and his sense of justice is at last
awakened. He vanquishes the Ger
man and makes him salute the flag
before returning it to the little girl.
Then, bidding goodbye to his wife,
he goes to enlist in the service of the
flag for which he has just won his
first fight.
Robert comes home on brief leave
of absence, prior to sailing for France.
Smiling through her tSars, the young
wife bids him farewell, guarding a
precious secret. She will not tell him
because he will need all his courage
at the front. Margaret Wallace has
made her sacrifice for her country.
She is determined that her family
shall not contain one Stacker.

county, because of a judicial decision
may by the latter not pleasing to
Cats, accompanied by a threat to
remove the Judge from o. .ce, shows
that the present governor of Florida
either doesn't know or doesn't care
anything about the organic structure
of the government and that he
doesn't even seem to suspect the
gross lawlessness of attempting to
intimidate the courts by the governor,
not less than by any other citizen of
the State The stern rebuke to Cats
by the entire bar of Pensacola should
have made him ashamed of himself
fir his gross dereliction from official
propriety, but it's only effect was a
