The Anxious Time

i ne ANXIOUS lime
At last came a day ard night full of
terror. For hours Helen lay uncon-
scio1s while Warren could only walk
helplessly up and down the hall,
every cry from her room tearing
through his heart.
Now and then the doctor or nurse
came out for some needed article,
but only to hurry back again. They
had no time to reassure him. And
their grave, cold faces only added to
the cold fear he was so desperately
fighting. To lose her now.
The heavy odor of iodoforln filled
the apartment And ever afterward
the scent of that drug would bring
back to him the memory of this night.
TIE front room, his room, the hall,
the dining room and kitchen-again
and again he paced back and forth
through them all.
The closed door of her room and the
nursery-for months he could not see
both of these doors closed without
feeling some of the fear and horror
that overwhelmed him now.
here. But Helen had begged that
nurse and Anna. And at this time
The Doctors Orders
She had wanted. too, that he should
be with her Her last whispered
words were that he should not leave
the room-not for a moment But
when she became unconscious the
doctor had forbidden him to stay.
He had insisted on remaining until
the doctor told him CURLY that the
case was critical enough as it was,
and he wouldn't be responsible if all
his orders were not strictly obeyed..
And he had gone out with feefng
of having deserted and betrayed her
when she was helpless to prevent it
and at the time she had told him she
would need him most.
She had feared chloroform and un-
conscious above everything else. II
was the dread of the unknown that
| had so terrified her.
And now every moan from her
room seemed piteous cry or him
He would feel that he must rush in
| that any cost he must be at her side
and then the fear of the doctors
words would hold him back.
He would go to the fartherest win
! dow of the front room that he would
! be out of reach of every sound-and
yet something always drew him back
to her door.
| Anna made him cup of strong
coffee which she insisted that he
must drink. Her kindly face was full
of sympathy and distress. He gulpec
down the coffee and began again his
restless wandering back and forth.

AMERICA RISES TO EMERGENCY.

London is preparing to meet the attack
of new fleet building of 500 Gothas-as
TIE German bomb-droppipg airplanes are
known-and America is to be largely de-
pended upon for defense of the British
capital.
Owing to the great altitude at which the
bomb troopers operate, it is estimated
that ten or more machines will be required
to effectively meet each Gotha, and thous-
ands of fast planes must be withdrawn
from the fighting lines and from the train
ing camps of England, France and America
to patrol the skies above London.
America manufacturers are speeding
up production, working their plants full
capacity night and day, tl meet this new
requirement. and it is to be hoped the
Liberty motor, which promises to revolu-
tionize air fighting, will be available in
large numbers for equipment of the new
machines. The new motor is considered
the greatest mechanical achievement of the
war, which has already produced many de-
vices that will add to the wealth of the
worlds science when peace is attained
That American genius should respond to
the urgent call for motor that will give
the allies supremacy of the air is in keep
ing with this country's ability to meet anv
emergency, and that it will triumph over
Germany in the race to make preparation
for the attack and defense of London is to
be reasonably expected

SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR
PEOPLE.

Realizing the great economic value
which will result from developing the full
capabilities of each Individual, the federal
government has widened the scope of its
activities along educational lines and is
rnanifesting a great interest in the voca-
tional training of workers in the various
commercial classihcations.
A recent bulletin issued by the depart
ment OF the interior describes the methods
OF special training for sa1es-women in de-
partment stores of Boston, New York.
Washington, and other cities The pur-
pose OF the course is to better the economic
condition of the girls through making them
efficient sales-women and giving them
worth Standards
The advantages have been so pronounced
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-09-17

that the course is now recognized by the
government, and plans are being made to
extend it to other lines.
While several manufacturers Of highly
specialized products have conducted train
ing schools for their statesmen, the idea Of
giving scientific training to clerks in retail
trade is comparatively new, but the sue
cess which has attended it proves it to be
one of the important steps in the prepare
ton of America for its coming supremacy
Of the world.

many manufacturers, and varying
prices are paid for it. Thousands of
Young men entering the officers
training camps purchased their own
uniforms. In the hurry to get the
men into condition anything and
everything resembling a uniform was
acceptable.
But this explanation does not dem
onstrate satisfactorily why soldier

made from the same bolt of cloth SO
that they will fade, if fade they
must, in unison.

DISLOYAL ELEMENT MUST BE
CURBED.

The danger that would result to America
in event Of German victory is forcefully set
forth in letter written by Prof. Max F.
Meyer, of the University of Missouri, to
an organization of pacifsts and German
sympathzers who wished to enlist him in
their cause. Prof Meyer is a native of Ger
many. He spent his early life in that coun-
try and before coming to America was
connected with some of the most important
German institutions of learning. The peace
leaguers thought surely he would endorse
their pro-German propaganda, but he
wrote:

A close student of German ambitions
and with an intimate knowledge of the
aims and desires Of the German govern
r1ent, Prof Meyer is we'll able to see the
true menace of Prussian triumph
He knows that should Germany win the
war Prussian aristocracy would dominate
the world and rule all the peoples of the
enslavenlent Of the American people. Prof
Meyer believes it would happen in fifty
years, but it would probably. transpre
