SHIP THE AGITATORS
ACROSS The WATER
Suggestion Is Made BY Mill City
Man To Senator Knute
Nelson

Minneapolis, August 20.-That anti
American agitators, instead of being
"intcrned" and kept at public ex-
pense, be shipped to Germany and
sent inside the enemy lines, as Val
landigham was treated by Lincoln,
was the suggestion made by J. E.
Meyers Of Minneapolis today in a let
ter to Senator Knute Nelson. He
proposed legislation along this line
"To follow the kaiser's plan OF
backing them up against a stone wall
and shooting them in this free coun-
try of ours" said DR.. Meyers letter.
''you make martyrs of them, in the
estimation of their followers. Feed
them poorly and you are condemned
by your own sympathies as well az
the great mass of Americans who do
not wish to see anyone suffer, but
put them into the cause which they
seem to love and for which they APP
parently stand without appreciation
of what this great country has done
for them, and you give them what
they preach for, and probably also if
they ever come back they may be-
come repentant citizens (never true
Americans.)
eff their friends should inadvert-
emily blow them up as they were be-
ing taken over, that is something for
which they cannot lay blame to any
one except to those whose cause they
are championing.
"a couple of shiploads, I believe,
would do more to kill 'copperhead-
ism than anything else. Give them
the privilege of fighting us I'M the
front"

CLUB WILL
SHORTLY.
PENSACOLA RED CROSS ESTAB-
FISHES CLUB FOR THE MEN
OF THE SERYICE-OPENS ON
TUESDAY.

Early next week, probably on Tues
day or Wednesday, the Pensacola Red
Cross Club Room will be opened to
the men of the service, in the large
room directly back of the American
National Bank, and in the same
building, which has been kindly prof
fered to the Red Cross to be used as
a gathering place for the men of the
service.
This room. formerly occupied by
the Hargis Drug Store, is admirably
adapted to the uses of such @ club
conveniently situated as it is to the
Red Cross headquarters which are to
be opened in the federal building in
a few days.
Mrs. W. 3. Ferriss, chairman Of
the Club Room committee, said yes
terday, in speaking of the plans of
the Red Cross:
we hope to make these rooms
most attractive. As they are to be
furnished through voluntary Contri-
button. it IS hoped that all who are
interested will aid US by sending such
furnishings as they may have for use
in the rooms. Tables, chairs. a
lounge, sofa pillows, ink wells, games
such as dOminOes, checkers, chess,
etc, will be most acceptable"
Those who wish to aid in furnish
ing these rooms may communicate
with Mrs. W. B. Ferriss, 695, or with
Red Cross headquarters, $50.
Mrs. Ferriss. in speaking of the
movement, said yesterday:
1--WE feel sure that the location of
the Pensacola Red Cross Club Room
is a most happy one. The women Of
the Red Cross wish most particularly
to come into closer contact with the
men of the army and navy. and the
fact that the club room is near the
headquarters to be opened soon in the
government building, will make it
most convenient for the members of
the Red Cross to supervise the rooms,
seeing that they are comfortable. and
will also be near enough for the men
of the service to be frequent visitors
at Red Cross headquarters, making
for a closer acquaintance, which we
so much desire. We want especially
to impress the fact that all men. com
missioned and non-commissioned will
be most welcome, not only at the
Pensacola Red Cross Club. but at the
headquarters of the Pensacola Red
