MANY BOOKS
ARE DONATED
PENSACOLA RESPONDED WELL
IN FIRST DAY OF CAMPAIGN
FOR READING MATTER FOR
SERVICE MEN.

Pensacola responded well in the
first day of the campaign to get books
for the army and navy men stationed
here, according to announcement made
yesterday afternoon by the Library
Subcommittee of the war reCrcational
board. The committee held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and discussed tfE
plans for continuing the campaign,
and also considered supplying French
teachers at the stations. No definite
action was taken on this latter mat
ter, but it will be discussed more in
detail at a later meeting.
Numbers of PenSacolians called at
the headquarters in the chamber of
commerce., while others telephoned
that they had books to give. Arrange
ments have been made for the use of
a motor car each day to collect th9
books, notice of which has been tele-
phoned in, and in this way it is eX-
pected that the entire city viii be
effectually covered by the canvass.
Contributors to the campaign are
asked to give light fiction, history,
books of adventure, sea stories, detec-
tive stories, historical novels, and col
lections of short stories, particularly
humorous ones. Such authors as Kip
ling, Conan Doyle, McCutcheon, o,
Henry, Harrington, Hopkinson-S Smith,
Oppenheim, etc, have been found par
ticularly popular with them. Good
poetry and drama can be utilized.
Foreign language texts are in great
demand, particularly French, and
large numbers are needed to fill the
need. They should have easy readers
as we'll as text books.
Books of travel. biography. and
especially lives of heroes, are very de-
sirable for this use. as we'll as the
technical books on aviation, wireless
automobiles, telegraphy, submarines
signalling, first aid, hygiene, drawing
and lettering.

PRAY FOR VICTORY
THEN FOR PEACE,
SPEAKER ADVISES

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 27.-
Col. VIM. c. Hodges, filling the
pulpit of the First Baptist church
here Sunday night, told a large
congregation to pray for victory
rather than peace. He said in
part:
1--WE are proclaimed to pray
for peace, but knowing the au-
thor of the proclamation as I do,
and his outstanding, fighting, un-
conquerable spirit. l know he
meant to pray for victory and
then for peace. Peace without
victory would be mockery, and
if l were permitted to write the
proclamation to prayer for all
the allied nations, l would pro-
claim they nay for >eace after
victory, and that the prayers
should be made after the terms
had been laid down to the war
ring Huns in the court yards of
their palaces, in the capitals of
their countries, by the victorious
armies of the nations which have
suffered such sacrilege and waste
and distress and woe at their
wanton, unfinching and willing
hands"

From the laying Of the keel sew

watchful eye of E. B. Ceruti, a vet

he is called, takes great pride in the
ship, and delights in explaining the

he handles, and at the same time as

RESIGNATION
SHACKLEFORD QUIT S
BENCH, AND ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL THOS. F. WEST NAMED
AS HIS SUCCESSOR.
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 27.-Gov-
ernor Cats today received the resig-
nation of Justice T. NJ. Shackleford
as a member of the Supreme Court
effective September 1, and appointed
in his place Attorney General Thom-
as F. West, who will take over the
duties of the bench OH that date. 1t
is not believed here that a successor
to Mr.. West will be commissioned
until the last of the week.
There is much speculation as to
the governors choice for this office,
and there are many aspirants. Loom
ing largest on the political horizon
tonight as the next attorney general,
is Senator Glenn Terrell, of Sumter
county, now special attorney for the
trustees of the Internal Improvement
Fund, and until recently assistant to
the attorney general, which place he
filled two years. He and J. B. Hodges
are both said to be seriously consid-
cred by the governor, as we'll as Mil
ton Pledger.
Judge Shackleford arrived here to-
day and stated that he was going to
Tampa to preserve the law practice
of his son, Robert, for him until he
returns from the war, "My boy has
made his sacrifice for his country,
and am making this sacrifice for my
boy. He and Tom need me now," said
the judge, "and although don't like
the politics of the situation, | feel
that it is my duty to my boys to go
to them when they need me-"

The habits of living should be regu-
