No Prospect Early End War

Although. the sound of Peace is in
the air seemingly there is no prospect
of ending at any early date the titanic
struggle that is in progress.

HOW GREAT WARS ARE WON
1t Is Very Rarely That Conflicts Are
Victorious Because of Superior
VaIor, Says Writer.

The vulgar idea of war Is that the
victory is won by superior valor or
other moral virtue, writes H. Side
botham in the Atlantic. This, however,
has very rarely been the case; al.
most all Western nations, at any rate,
are equally brave, though the valor OF
some excels in obstinacy and endur-
ance and of others in daring and elan.
BY far the commoner causes OF VIC
tory and defeat are political or tech
meal.
Sometimes Ito take the domain
Of tactics) it Is new weapon that
wins victory on the battlefield, or at
any rate contributes to the ease with
which it is won; sometimes. as In
the Roman and in Frederick's armies,
it is superior discipline, greater physl-
cal fitness, and practice in maneuver
that win the victory. More often 1t
is some new formation Of line. Those
tactics commonly succeed best OF all
which are both new and adapted to
the genius of the people using them.
Thus the Beers in the South African
war developed highly original sys-
tenn of mounted infantry tactics by
simply using their horses in war time
as they did going about their ordinary
business on their wide sheep farms,
and similarly in the American wars
the woodsmen made ideal sktrmishers.

An elderly male commuter, one who
had sporty touch Of gold color to his

said In all respectfulness:

She took no offense.
"Of course" the girl answered, with
out looking up from her work, "but
I'm Just learning knitting and I'd ex-
plain to you about some Of these
stitches II you could possibly under
stand. The idea is that I'm first knit

LAFAYETTE Flying Corps.

Considerable confusion exists in the
minds of many persons about the diff
ference between the Lafayette Esca-
drille and the Lafayette Flying corps.
This famous aeronautic body was
the Section d'Aviation Of the Legion
Etrangere in the early days of the
war. To mark the number of Ameri-
cans who were sharing the dangers and
victories the name was changed to the
Flying corps. But as
the United States was not then at war
with Germany complaint was made
that this was breach Of neutrality.
To avoid giving offense the name
was changed to the Lafayette Flying
corps, which is the present of1cial
designation.

Despite the growth in population and
increased areas under cultivation, the
horse population OF Los Angeles coun-
ty, California, is now less than one
half ass much as in 1900. The auto
mobiles and motortrucks have In
creased from 6 to 79,146. The 47,o0O
horses in the county in 1900 were val
ued at S5,O0O,000. In 1910 the drop IN
number was to $1,000, and in the en-
suing six years to 10000. The pres
ent automobile valuation is nearly
S1OOOOO,OOO. Excellent road condi-
tons are considered largely responsible
for the above figures.

A caddy Story.

The gentleman was learning to play
golf and it had been too much for the
composure Of his caddy. The caddy
had made valiant efforts at first, but
by the third hole he was helpless with
mirth. The gentleman fixed him with
o cold eye and said:
"What do you think I'll give you on
your card il you are so silly and gig
gle all the time? Do you think you'll
get 'good'?"
NO" replied the chortling caddy.
I'll get v. g."
"V. g.! I suppose that stands for
very good" snapped the Infatuated gen
tleiian.
"No, sir. V. G., very giggly," said
the abandoned little caddy, rolling on
the ground.

The Tabernacle Appeal

We are face to face with the be-
ginning of the greatest evangelistic
effort that Pensacola has ever at
tempted, and that means we are face
to face also with the greatest op-
portunity for service that has ever
come our way to help our friends,
neighbors and acquaintance to know
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
The question, therefore, comes unbid-
den, "Shall we use the opportunity
or shall we disregard it and trample
1T undertook" That question must
be answered by every individual
Christian in Pensacola, and it must be
answered soon. 1t will admit of no
delay. ....
Have you ever thought, my dear
Christian friend, really what it means
to lose an opportunity? 1t has been
for many years a serious thought to
me. / have come to realize that
am to be judged in the great day of
final account according to the things
which failed to do, as well as ac-
cording to the things which l have
done. There are sins of "omission"
as well as sins of Commission"
Leaving undone something which
ought to be done is quite as serious
a failing as doing something which
ought not be done, though not so re-
pulsive in the eyes of our fellow
men. One way to live clean, pure,
everyday Christian life, doing moth
ing of a questionable character in
the eyes of society, and yet at the
same time be charging himself at
the judgment bar of Almighty God
with multitude of omissions. |

OFFICIAL FAMILY
At AERONAUT|C
YARD COMPLETE

Complete arrangements of the off,
cial corps of the navy yard have been
made upon the arrival of Commander
Percy N. Olmsted, formerly COM
handing the u. S. S. Birmingham, to
assume the duties of senior aide to
the commandment.
Lieutenant Commander F. r. Nc
Creary is placed in active charge of
the aeronautic division of the yard,
and is in supervision of all work with
the school. Commander Olmsted is
in active charge of the navy yard it
self, while Captain ]. L. Jayne, COM
mandant, is head of the whole.
The arrangement is made neces-
sary after the transfer of Captain
Muslin, who has been in charge of
the work here since the establish
ment of the yard, and the policy of
the navy department to increase the
scope Of the navy yard, as yard, in
connection with the aeronautic sta
ton.
One reason for the change, it is
pointed out, was the increasing duties
falling on the commandant, who, il
in charge of the yard and school
would be too greatly burdened. Fol
this reason it was thought best tt
place an officer, not necessarily al
aviator, in charge of the whole, anc
divide the other authority among 9th
er officers. The executive head O.
the reservation, under the new ar
rangement, is in the hands of Captain
j. L. Jayne, Lieutenant F. R. Nc
Creary, Commander Percy N. Ohm
sted, senior aide to the commandment
and Lieutenant Gratten C. Dichmar
aide to the commandment.

and you neglected to take me in, and
| was sick and in prison but you did
not think it worth while to visit me-"
These were not openly bad people
about whom He was speaking; they
were those who had just failed in
their hour of opportunity. Notice
how astonished they were at the
verdict of the Judge against them,
but the Master made answer, "Tnas-
much as We did it not unto the least
of one of these, We did it not unto
Me-" And they were classed with
the unrighteous and went away into
everlasting punishment.
Will you pardon me for giving a
| bit of personal experience which has
to do with this very proposition of
'lost opportunity The seriousness
Of failure to accept God given oppor-
tunity was brought forcibly to my
mind a few years ago, when I was
called upon to minister to an invalid
man who had never known my Savior
and who did not so much as believe
in Him or His followers. Day by day
the Spirit of God urged upon me the
fact that l was the only one who
could point that man to Jesus Christ,
and day by day the evil spirit kept
me from speaking to him about his
soul. One day I left the city and
journeyed across the country to visit
my parents, and one morning I was
| awakened by my father, who came
into my room with telegram in his
hand. I opened the message anx-
iously. 1t told me of the death of
this invalid and of his last request
that / should perform the last rites
over his body. My friends, I can't
tell You the feelings that possessed
| my whole being that moment, for all
the opportunities which l had so
ruthlessly disregarded came rushing
into my mind. The sense of lost OPP
portunity to help some one that no.
body else could help was terrible and
is absolutely inexpressible. went
back to the city where he lived, and
as l entered his home his wife met
lme and, placing her hand in mine and
her face on my shoulder, she sobbed
as if her heart would break, and she
cried out, "Oh! why didn't you help
him? Why didn't you say something
You knew how he lived and you knew
that you were the only one that could
help him." 1 can hear her sobbing
and crying yet as 1 think of it. l
could not answer her. There was
nothing to say led the funeral cor
tege of that man to his last resting
place and said the commitments over
his dead body, but as the earth was
falling upon his coffin the terrible
realization came upon me that even
| though God would forgive me, here
is one man who could rise up in judg-
ment and point his accusing finger at
me and charge me with failing to do
that which I ought to have done and
lay to my account his lost soul. o
Il the terribleness of it ALL God save
us from the neglect of the opportuni-
ties which shall be thrown before US
these coming days!

Tallahassee, March 2.-Since a safe
majority of the members-elect of the
house of representatives returned
from the Everglades trip, there seems
to be no doubt that Cary A. Hardee,
speaker of the house in 1915, will
again be chosen to that honor by the
democratic caucus on the night of
Monday, April 2. He has had more
than enough pledges to put him
through on the first ballot. Three
members who had not hitherto pledg-
ed themselves to Hardee did so on
the recent trip.

assembly of The stale of Tennessee that The
driver of every automobile, motorcycle or
other motoi-iriven vehicle be and is here
bv required when travelling any public
al. Street or highway, to come to full
stop before crossing railroad tracks at

railroad crossings at grade while tiagmen
or watchmen are protecting such crossing.
Being state law, it is uP to officers to
enforce it. 1t works hardship only upon
the reckless and incompetent drivers who
are fal too numerous for the safety OF the

and ,iolators will have no one to blame it
they have to pay fine but themselves.
Under this law, it seems to us, the L. q

of the accident at Copperhill, some weeks
ago. The law was clearly violated and the
company sustained considerable damage
