ILLOGICAL SENATOR STONE-AND
WORSE!

mo doubt" said Senator Stone, re-
ferring to the equipment of our merchant
ships with protective armament, 'that
would be the proper thing to do, but it
would mean war;"
No doubt, too, Lexington was proper,
but no one was there to stop the shot that
was heard around the world.
Riding on his same train of thought,
Senator Stone said in reply to a question
by Senator Hardwick whether the Presi-
dent did not have authority to defend,
without authority of congress, Americans
against illegal assault:
Yes war yssseI s Of the United States should

But if it is right for warship to protect
merchant ship it sees is being violated,
is it not right to keep a lookout for such
outrages? And if it is right to look for
them, is it not right to go where they are
liable to occur? This establishes the right
of convoy, even in the Stone mind. And
what is the difference between protective
guns on companion ship and on the men
aced vessel?
No difference at all-"BUT," Stone
would say, ''it would lead to war
Oh, Admiral Dewey, when you sent
that shot across the bows of the German
flagship in Manila bay, did you realize that
what you did, though was right, might
lead to war?
But Senator Stones pernicious activity
is not confined to leaky logic. He has also
betrayed plans of the navy department.
1t was only few days ago that the senate
passed bill making it crime to publish
the governments secrets and the chair
man of the foreign relations committee OF
the senate has been the first to violate
it! Whether or not Stone, when he re-
vealed the plans to equip merchant ships
| with light, swift submarine chasers to dc
scout work in danger zones, was making
vital disclosures, is not the question; they
were official secrets and he had no right
to expose them. 1t is to be hoped that pre-.

our military plans hereafter, lest the

ToNIGHT's MASS MEETING.

The women of glorious memory who
gave their hair to be made into bowstrings
for the defense of their beleagured city,
did not furnish more inspiring example
than the daughters of Pensacola of today,
who at the first whisper of danger to their
country, formed our Red Cross chapter
one of the first and best in the south.
Tonight the men will show their WORTH
ness of such women. A great United-We-
Stand meeting will be held at the Gypsy
Smith tabernacle, corner of Spring and
Gregory, beginning at 8 o'clock. This is
the largest auditorium in town, but the
capacity is expected to be taxed to the
utmost. After the patriotic speeches have
been pronounced, after the national hymns
have been sung, after the 9Th Artillery
Band has sent Dixie, and other great
pieces, crashing through our souls, in the
presence of naval, military, city and state
officials and beneath the approving gaze
of veterans of former wars, the roll of
honor will be opened and enlistment of the
military company Pensacola is expected to
furnish, will be begun.
These will be no paper-war volunteers.
They will not be sent to distant training
camps to lead life of inactivity if there is
no war But can anything, save a down
right miracle, prevent it now? Construc-
lively, we are in as active state of wal

their armies were jockeying for position

measures to protect itself, she will declare

war to public ships, besides private she

defenseless women.

as if hostile fleet were already steamins

Ronchetti went fine at fullback,

Leibold was born at Bentley. Ind,

inches tall and weighs but $50
pounds.
He started playing professional
ball in his teens, and rapidly forged
his way 10 the front. In 1911, he
was signed by the Milwaukee Brew
ers. but the pitching in the American
association that year had his goat,
and in IS games he hit only IFS.
The following year, however, Memo
found his batting eye and clouted
the ball at a .2s5 clip. In the draft
Of 1912 he was awarded TO the
Cleveland club, coming up as a
player with utility prospects. be-
cause Of the fact that he had played
both the infield and the outfeld at
Milwaukee.

himself a valuable asset 10 the
