REQUEST WOMEN TO
QUIT ADOPTING SOLDIERS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Monday, Dec. 24.-(By
the A. P.)-The American expedi-
tionary force wishes to discourage
the budding practice of American
women in adopting" individual SOL
diers in France for the period of the
war. The practice already threatens
to choke the already cogested con-
dition of mails. Moreover, the CEN
sorship regulations forbid the men
to correspond with strangers. and as
this rule is being enforced rigidly it
is desired that the people at home
refrain from putting men here in an
embarrassing position as they fer
under obligation to answer such com
munications

AMUSEMENT VOLUNTEERS

Anything that the United States SOL
diers on he western front want in the line
of amusement, from grand opera to Minis
trel shows, the National War Work Coun-
Gil of the Young Mems Christian Associaz
ton is determined to give them. For this
purpose E. H. Sothern and Winthrop
-Ames will leave for France in few days
to make an amusement survey Of. the
American section of the French front.
The Y. M. G. A. has entire charge of all
entertainment features for the men lover
there" Thomas S. McLane, chairman of
the overseas entertainment section has de-
clared that the survey is to precede the
organization on a large scale of the kinds
Of entertainment required by the rapidly
growing expeditionary forces 1t has also
been announced that William Howard
Taft will begin in January tour Of the
National Army environments, under the
auspices of the Y. NJ G. A. r.
Early in the year Miss Louise Homer,
daughter of Nine Homer, Metropolitan
contralto, and Sidney Homer, the COM
poser, will leave America to sing in the
Y. M. G. A. huts in France. Francis Coates
Osborn, actor and dramatic coach, will also
leave in few weeks to organize the talent
among the troops themselves.
All of these persons go as volunteers.
Nothing could go farther to show the
wonderful spirit of love and loyalty which
is animating the work of the Y. NJ. c. A.
and those who are working through its
channels, than the who1e-hearted response
to the needs of the men in camp and prison,
as we'll as on the field, through the recog-
milton that the fighting men must have
their hours of relaxation in which to gain
strength for the battle.
When Harry LaudeE was in this country
he told many stories which went to illu:-
trate the need of the men on the western
front, which were largely met through the
work of the Y. NJ. G. A. and those whose
mission it was to amuse the men. The little
Scotch comedian had himself given his
only son, who had fallen in battle. while
yet hardly more than a boy. And since
that loss he has given himself and his
talent, to Tighten hard hours for the fight
ir.g men.
This is not little thing. It is big with
possibilities of help and inspiration.
Through the~ efforts Of the Y. M. G. A.
the morale of the men is being helped in
every way, but certainly in no way more
effective ;tf1an through furnishing "them
with heartening amusement that speaks to
them of home and those who love and re-
member them and whose emissar;es these
ausement volunteers have become:

THRIFT CAMPAIGN FLoUR1sHlNG


A tremendous impetus has been given
the Thrift campaign during the holidays,
through the number Of purchases which
have been made of War Savings Certif-
Gates and Thrift Stamps, to serve as gifts
designed to promote the Christmas spirit
and to express good wishes for the New
Year.
Not only have many families bought
largely of certificates and stamps for the
members of their households and their
friends but number of business houses
have enlisted themselves as supporters of
the campaign and have presented their
employees with the war saving certificates
CT the Thrift cards.
Hundreds of dollars have already been
spent by Individuals and collectively the
sum represented by the campaign has
mounted into the thousands no small part
of which investment has been made by the
school children of Escambia county, who
have entered into the work for the govern
ment with that zest that indicates real in
terest and loyaly.
The expected arrival of NJ B. Claggett,
Who represents the secretary of the treas
riy, will give an added impetus to the
work of both the child and the adult, and
the work is expected to go forward with
increased force and marked concentration
after the holidays, when Mr. Claggett is
expected here.
A number Of Pensacola merchants are
giving much advertising space to the
Thrift campaign, which will materially
help the movement, and through which it
is hoped to induce many to subscribe The
newspapers throughout the country are
also giving literally of their space, and it
is believed that the subscriptions will far
exceed what was at first expected by the
government.
That Pensacola will ''go over the top in
this as in other campaigns, there is little
doubt, for concerted and enthusiastic work
is bound to accomplish these results. 1t
is UP to the people, and the people of the
United States have never yet failed in any
crisis.
But, most especially, it is up to the chill
dren of the United States.
The men of the country have before
them another Liberty Loan issue in which
their services will soon be enlisted And
for that reason, among others, the secre-
tary of the treasury has called upon the
boys and girls of the United States and
has enlisted them in this work of patriot
ism.
On them it devolves to aid the women
of Pensacola who are back of the Thrift
which they may throw their energies If
every boy and girl in Escambia county
would definitely make up his or her mind
to sacrifice just one week for this cam
paign, and to put the money thus saved
into war savings certificates, think what
this would mean for our country
In some of the schools of the country the
Board is trying to have each child buy at
least one twenty-five cent stamp each
month, the teachers accepting pennies
when children can give no more and saw
ing them until enough have been secured
tc buy stamp.
In New York alone already nearly one
million children have purchased stamps.
New York has endeavored to set the
pace in all patriotic work of the country.
but it has remained for Pensacola 10 estab-
lish the precedent for the South In every
drive Pensacola has been tremendously

LOOSE WORK BY
 TANKS lNFIELD IS
 FATAL TO CHANGES

Cleveland, July 17-Bob Shawkey yesterday pitched shutout ball which should have carried the Yankees into third place, but Bob's supporting cast failed. him at a critical time. New York. picked up a lead in the fourth inning, held it until the sixth and then the infield tossed it away. 1ne Indians got the verdict by 3 to 2. The Indians did not make an earn ed run off Shawkey, and there was a taint on one of the two runs picked up by Donovan's team. Shawkey de- served to win. He easily outpitched Jim Bagby.
 Every member of Donovan's inner guard made at least one mistake. First Peck neglected to cover second base after he had trapped Roth on the line and Maisel had chased Roth towrd third. In the run down Pipp left first uncovered and could not get back for Harris after Roth returned safely to second. Baker made an er- TOT on O'Neills grounder and slow work by Maisel let a runner score from third.
 Maisers failure to connect on an attempted squeeze play in the first inning lost a run. Peck had trippled to deep left with one down, and set out for the plate on the first ball pitched to Maisel The latter missed an attempt to bunt, and Peck was an easy out.
