ERROR IN CHARGE
FOR COLD DRINKS IS
CAUSE Of TROUBLE

Early last night, one of the blue
jackets ashore, was handed out wrong
change at a downtown cafe, and it
led to a considerable gathering of the
sailors, who, believing that a higher
price than usual had been charged,
and some considerable feeling seems
to have pervaded the crowd.
Lieut.. Morse, who was on duty in
the city, hearing of this little diff
ference, at once conducted an investi-
cation and ascertained that it was
an error, pure and simple, and that
wrong charges had been unintention-
ally made in this case.
Other allegations made to Lieut..
Morse by enlisted men last night, in
which they claimed they had been the
victims of overcharge, were also thor
oughly investigated and it was found
out that there was no ground for
any such claims.
Statement by D. COcorenes.
To the enlisted men of the United
States navy:
An unfounded and unjust rumor
has been circulated to the effect that
l Disseminated against a sailor in
uniform by charging him ten cents
for a glass of coca cola.
During the past eighteen years
that l have been in business in this
city I have constantly strove to cater
to the trade of the enlisted men, and
the generous patronage they have
given me is in itself proof that this
rumor is but rumor.
If you are in doubt, drop in our
place and see if our prices and service
are not the equal of any similar store
in Pensacola.

Thousands Spent In Securing Battle

ground.
Then the trenches with their men
leaning upwards, rifles aimed at the
approaching foe are seen-airships
encircle the field, dropping poisonous
gas bombs and other deadly missiles
on the men fighting beneath,
Then come the decisive naval bat
ties after America has concentrated
every energy and prepared herself for
the terrific onslaught of the foe. The
fleets move seaward in a majestic
line, every gun manned by an expert
by devoted men. Now a shell sent
from the enemy's ship finds its mark
and shoots through the water, leav
ing hebind it the dead white trail
of foam. Finally it comes into contact
with the ship and in a few moments
hundreds have been claimed by
watery grave. The men in the boiler
room fight one another like rats in
a hole as they feel their vessel give a
lurch sideways and realize their
means of escape is cut off.
When war visits it's horrors upon
any land it's inhabitants become
crazed and sacrifices untold are suf-
fered by the people. There is no limit
it is murderous slaughter and the
side conceiving the most effective in
struments of destruction is naturally
victorious.
Then Uncle Sam plays his trump
card-he sets his "firebugs" loose
amid the enemy's ships and in an
other few minutes victory recognized,
These "firebugs" are small boats
steered by wireless so that no men
are necessary and filld with gasoline
which is set afire when they reach the
fleet of the emmy and turn the waters
/ into a curtain of fire..
Mr.. Blackton spared no effort or
expense that these scenes might be
authentic to the minutest detail in
order that the proper atmosphere be
! secured and he was generously given
] the cooperation of the U. S. army
and navy as far as practicable.

the Franklin dealer at Detroit had
