DR.. KENNEDY
WRITES FIRST
WAR MPREssIONS

Of interest in Pensacola are some
of the impressions gained by DR..
s. r. Mallory Kennedy on his trip
to Europe and stay in London on
military duty. Since arriving in the
British capital he has written several
letters to friends fn Pensacola, and in
them he says:
Let me correct a few Impressions
we have gained of the English and
England. | have met servants all
over the United States, but / have
never met any who compared in po
liteness with the English. They eX
pect to get tipped, and they deserve
it. The English military men we
have met are courteous gentlemen. l
also want to correct an impression
which is current at home, and is alb
solutely false. England is not starv-
ing to death. London is not. We
passed field rich in grain and Being
worked, beautiful farms well kept, all
the way from Liverpool to London. All
the hotels here are crowded, some
have been taken over by the govern
ment for official use

they looked like mere specks-tO0
high for our guns to reach them, but
we'll get them next time as we know
how now. Americans should know the
facts about these people, not lies, and
believe if the censors let more facts
through that it would help. The Amer
lean people are used to knowing how
the game is going and they would
take more interest if they were told
more. As it is, America has not walked
up as America. There are isolated
spots like Washington and part OF
New York, but America, as a whole,
needs awakening.
eve have had to buy Sam Browns -;
these are the English officers belts,
and the insignia in Europe that dis
tinguishes an officer from a private.
Our uniforms are so much like the
Tommies' that our men are being
hailed on the streets by privates with
their girls and asked to join the
crowd. They didn't know what the
two bars on the shoulder mean.
II met a young captain in the Ca
madam army who is here on a ten-day
leave. He tells me that during Ger

ing them hard, found three of THEN
men, two corporals and one sergeant
crucified on three crosses in one OF
the villages the Germans had just
left"

Taking No Chances.

A big mass meeting was being held
In Bllmville. The well-groomed and
slick-looking individual who was try-

money arose to make few remarks.
"Fellow citizens" he opened up, "ap-

"Jist a minute, mister" said smalls
sandy-whiskered man.
A look of annoyance crossed the
speakers face.
''What can I do for your" he asked.
IT have here a pocket edition Of
websters dictionary, and want to
look up that word 'apropos.' I don't
intend to sit here and let some oily
tongued stranger slip one over on u.s."
replied the sandy-whiskered man.

said the speaker. "Now, that word to
which you refer means"

Possibilities of Bad verss.

No one has yet written any adequate
appreciation Of the possibilities of bad
verse. The verse, / mean that Is com-
posed at the crises of life, on the moun4
tain tops Of exultation and In the joyt
less valleys, by persons unskilled and
ordinarily unpoetic. The verse that Id
hidden away in vases and bureau draw
ers, never to be shown and always pro-
duced In some moment of vanity. Only
true poet could write just appre-l
citation of bad verse; and from his PEN
the words would come too much taint-l
ed with the implication of irony. The
quality of bad verse Is not strained.I
1t Is written to suit no magazines
policy. 1t is rewarded with no check.
1t is a brave denying Of reality; a.
prayer that is its own answer. 1t Is,
to use Maeterlinck's phrase, "a maxi
ing or invoking Of wings by creatures
that creep on their bellies" New Re-
public.
Qualified for Job.
"Know how to wash cars?" asked
the garage boss. "Sure, know" said

Ideals Worth Striving For.

Engineers and industrial managers
are glad to make needed personal sac
ritices in support of their government.
1t is no mean call to duty. Many are
now consciously or unconsciously
passing through a period of thinking
that can lead but to one conclusion
that there are some things more valu-
able than earthly existence itself.
Every enlisted man, whether he real
ICES 1t or not, has that belief, and SO
believing, is ready for his own supreme
sacrifice If it must come. Thousands
of others must accept that principle
Of action for themselves before our in
dustries can be made so effective as
they must become to make the nation
strong.-L. P. Afford, in Industrial
Management.

VIC" was the subject OF an address de-
tvered by Judge Robert H. Terrell, OF
the MuniCipal Court. at aImeeting of
the Woman Waco-Earners Association
held at 1G T street Yesterday afternoon
Judge Terrell spoke Of the object Of
the organization and the material help
II had received from cooperation with
IN" Federation of Labor. Referring TO
the question of domestic service, he said
that the field had broadened through
the entrance into 1t ot the white race.
and in consequence OF which the un.
skilled co!ored labor had been forced
out and their places pre-empted by the
whites.
The object Of this organization is 10
Cdu"ate the working girls OF our rare

good service in private families" said
Judge Terrell, and the only way this
can he accomplished is for the scnooi-
teachers and the educated class to give

PATRIOTIC SERVICE
WILL BE ORGANIZED
National Committee Formed to Co
ordinate Volunteer Movement.

Opportunity; for patriotic service to the
nation by individuals and ORGANIZATIONS
throughout the country is thrown open
under a plan approved yesterday by the
Secretary Of War. The scheme embraces
the entire United States.
The semi-official channel through which
Secretary Baker requests all INDIVIDUALS
contemplating the formation Of volunteer
organizations OF any kind to communi-
cate with him is the National Commit
tee of Patriotic and Defense Societies
which has its headquarters in the South
ern Building. The committee, acting as a
clearinghouse for twenty-eight or more
patriotic and defense organizations. Is
coordinating the efforts Of these organ
iZations with a view to system and EN-
cheney and with the idea OF eliminating
useless duplication of effort among them.
The committee is headed by George
Wharton Pepper. Of Philadelphia, with
Lieut. Gen. s. b. NJ. Young as its honor
ary chairman.
I'VE all want to do our Bit" Mr.. Pep
per said. But II we food the government
with promiscuous offers to volunteer
other than in the regular army or seek
TO organize companies and regiments in
ways which do not fit in with the War
Departments plan. We are likely TO prove
more troublesome than useful"
Secretary Baker Approves.
In approving the plan and giving the
attitude OF the War Department toward
volunteer organizations in general the
Secretary Of War made the following
statement:
THE administration bill provides for
recruiting the regular army TO its full
strength through volunteers. II II be-
comes law / think the first effort OF
patriotic organizations Of citizens might
70 ,IofR
cruiting.
I'm providing for future increments to
the army from men between 10 and .
years old. we are not unheelful OF the
great mass Of patriotic men above the
age Of 3. nor OF the women. who are
eager to serve the country in its emer-
gency. The time may come when the
services OF such citizens will prove in
valuable.
The National Committee OF Patriotic
and Defense Societies is formulating.
with my hearty approval. plans to unity
and encourage many volunteer efforts
The plans. of course. can not be per-
fected or approved until after Congress
acts on the Army bill.
Omcer. of Committee.
The oficers OF the committee. besides
Gen. Young and Mr.. Pepper. are: Vice
chairman. c. c. Moore. San Francisco;

BRAINS, not BEAUTY,
COUNTS, SAYS PASTOR
Men Measured by Head. Not Waist,
He Declares.

We do not measure men around the
%aistband today, but around the hat
band" said Rev. Howard 1. Stewart,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church.
Fourth and Virginia avenue southea st,
IN a sermon last night on "A Handsome
Fool"
Beauty does not signify brains" said
the pastor. nor does 1t mean that the
possessor Of beauty has character. This
TACT Is brought out strongly by the bibli-
cal history OF Samson, Saul and Absa-
lom. These men form a trinity who
possessed strong physical characteristics.
but decidedly poor spiritual qualities.
"Aosalom was mushroom king, with
emphasis on the mush. He had a mag
OF royal blood. renowned for his re-
markable beauty of person, his chief at
traction being his long hair, he was
withal a beggar in action.
He was indeed a handsome fool. II
person is famous or renowned. II should
be for some moral excellence, rather
than for some mirror thing. such as his
hair or his physical prowess
1T Is. a matter of pride that our gov
ethment Is famous the world over for
its high principles of liberty and JUS
tice for the oppressed, rather than a
lust for power. The flag of our nation
means patriotism. Ambition in any field
of endeavor should be of such stern stun
that IT will scorn notoriety or fame ex-
cept for the nobler qualities OF the soul.
"Absalom stole the hearts of Israel
and usurped his fathers throne. Hence
his reign was very brief His throne
was not built upon the solid masonry
Of honest endeavor. liberty or equality.
but rather upon the methods Of the
trickster and demagogue. May heaven
deliver us from the idea that a char
acter can long stand that is built upon
the ashes Of those whom 1t has de-
stroyed."
