Vox PobuA.
Editor of The Journal:

Editor of The Journal:
A spirit of patriotism is in the air.
In one way or another, the people are
trying to prove that they love their
country: trying to show their graft
tude and appreciation of the many
sacrifices made by our forefathers in
order that we might own and enjoy
this beautiful land The Law and Or
der League are standing for true
patriotism in trying to protect the
young soldiers from the evils of the
liquor traffic. The man who. sells
or votes for another to sell, intoxi-
eating liquor to soldier or marine
is no true patriot. To weaken the@ae-
tenders of our country is to aid the
enemy, and no one denies that the use
of intoxicating liquor is detrimental
to a soldier, as well as to the EN-.
ployes of the many great industrial
corporations, that have barred the
drinking man.
These young men have volunteered
to defend US and our country from {
foreign foe. They are far from home
and home influences; therefore it il
the duty of every good citizen to safe
guard them from those social vulture!
who would cause them to lose thei,
manhood, to bring shame and dis
grace to their fanIilies, and to fai
in achieving that high standard, t.
which the Federal government is try
ing to raise our army and navy.

VETERAN F1REMEN SET THE PACE

Giving an example of progress that might
well serve as a model, the Veteran Fire

have decided to devote their picnic this year
to raising funds for the Gulf Beach High
way.
The decision is all the more gratifying,
as it was unexpected-as clear case OF
volunteering to prevent threatened mis-
fortune as the enthusiasm that united
them for he public Advantage in their youth

POETRY OF WAR.

President Poincare, of France, has, so
far as we have been able to ascertain, pever
sought conquests in the fields of poesy, but
in an interview to the Associated Press,
supplementing his official message to
America through President Wilson, he has
expressed a thought SO original, has decked
it with such beautiful language and illus
trated it with such vivid imagry, that it
may well take rank among the gems of
literature We reproduce it entirely:

More than once already have we called

the front, written under terrific pressure,
are models of literature H. G. Wells, with

War in the Air was unable to draw a

account of the two-day air battle in which
the English machines alone dropped eight
tons of bombs; when scores OF airplanes
were sent hurting to the ground and ten
great balloons were brought down IN great
gulps of hame-shot smoke.
In painting and in sculpture the influence
has been Just as marked. But it is in liter
allure that we are most interested because
it has wider appeal.

books in literature. Everyone has
read it or has wanted to. "a Mod

BUENOS AIRES, Sept, 9.-The
Swedish minister to Argentina,
Baron Lowen, today denied that
dispatches in cipher had been
sent to Berlin by the German
charge through the Swedish lega-
ton at Buenos Aires. He de-
clared:
"I have not sent, nor caused to
be sent by the legation under my
charge any telegram from the
German legation. The news is a
great and disagreeable surprise. "
II have cabled to my government to
clear up matters. In the United States
they are very eXcitable."
The Official announcement issued by
the state department at Washington
that communications from Count Lux

Situation Serious
That the situation is regarded as SER
ious WAS evidenced by the fact that the
populace, usually gay on Sunday, were
remarkably quiet and sober faced. Dane
ing girls. waving Argentine flags and
bedcckcd with American and British
flags. were greeted with silence ut the
society matinee after being wildly ap-
plauded all week.
The government offices have been
closed since Friday evening. but when
the officials return from the weekend

cred The president Of the republic has
already called on the foreign minister
for explanations.
Hold in Contempt
The Buenos Aires newspapers refer
to the exposure as al: unusual nnd SEN

says:
This sensational revelation, which
compromises The faith Of the German
