funds on hand so that the reading
matter in greatest demand among the
soldiers, textbooks and the like, may
be duplicated and replaced and each
library maintained in high state of

One of the heaviest items of ex-

is the erection of the library buildings
at the various environments through
out the country. Plans for these
have already been made. Each build

SENATE CURBS GERMAN
NEWSPAPERS.

The senate took an effective step toward
curbing the reasonable utterances of Ger
man language newspapers when it added
an amendment to the Trading With the
Enemy Act, which provides that all war
comment shall be reproduced in English
in parallel column.
From the beginning of the war there has
been much complaint of the disloyalty of
German newspapers published in this
country, and since the participation OF the
United States in the struggle the necessity
OF regulation for such publications has been
realized by the federal authorities. 1t was
found, however, that no existing law would
apply. Newspapers are not suppressed in
tAmerica, but those containing reasonable
matter are denied transmission in the
mails. The publishers OF offending foreign
language papers took advantage of the

RAISE PENsACOLA's
SHARE FOR THE WAR
LIBRARY COUNCIL

An active campaign to raise Pen
sacola's share of the National War
Library Fund will be started in PEN
sacola as soon as an organization can
be effected according to State Sena-
tor John B. Jones, member of the
Florida war library council from this
district.
Senator Jones stated that tentative
plans for the Organization have been
drawn up, and definite announcement
will be made as soon as the prelimin-
airy work is complete.
Books are not wanted in the cNpl-
paign, but money-money to pur-
chase some $4,000 fresh well-chosen
books to form a nucleus around which
the hundreds of thousands of donated
books may be grouped.
To the often asked question "Why
is 81 900, 900 needed for libraries for
our soldiers and sailors, the follow
ing answer is issued by the council:
Because that is the least amount. in
the experience of the American Ii
brary Association and the library war
council, needed to supply Libraries to
our soldiers at the front, in the field
in environments, in training camps
and on board the troop ships.
There are thirty-two cantonment
library buildings to be erected. Skilled
librarians must be employed. A,
once, 100000 fresh, clean books must
be purchased for the larger canton
ments, and these and the other read
ing matter must be properly kept UP
and maintained and transported. II

ORGANIZATION HELPS THE
GROWER.

West Florida may well profit by the
story of remarkable efficiency in the mar
keting of perishable agricultural products
revealed in the annual report OF the Cali
fornit Fruit Growers Exchange which
shipped nearly fifteen and a half million
crates OF citrus fruit last year at a cost of
) ? cents per crate and without loss of
penny through Bad debts.
The organization is composed Of 5000
growers, and acts as a clearing house for
the bulk of the California crop. Growers
pool tl-~ar fruit, which is then graded under
direction OF the central office and dstrib
uted to all prts OF the country. The service
is performed at actual cost.
The exchange has been organized upon
what is virtually manufacturing basis. All
products are branded and for advertising in
newspapers and other media each box of
oranges is assessed , Il cents, and every
box Of lemons cents. The growers de
i~,1f' upon advertising to increase the con
>uronticn Of oranges and lemons and thus
ma c 4 market for the rapidly increasing
crops. During the ten wears in which I'd
fcr,iaing has been done, the consumption
ri citrus fruit has increased eighty per
cent or four times as rapidly as popula-
tcn.
The growers carry their own insurance;
operate their own lumber mills and box
factories and maintain staffs of legal and
traffic experts.
They also operate supply department
uoch last year purchased for members
patkir.g house and orchard supplies to the
amount of $5,459,574 at savings greatly in
excess of the cost of the department.
The citrus growers of Florida are profit
ing through a similar organization, as are
the growers of certain specialized vegeta-
bles.
Escambia county has an association in
the early stages of development which
promises better returns to our farmers next
season, in addition to solving their market
ing problems.
The farmer is rapidly coming to reali-
zation of the fact that his profit depends
not so much upon his ability to produce as
upon his ability to sell He is learning that
like the manufacturer, his success comes
from finding the right market and reach
ing it in the right way.

THE KAISER APPLAUDS.

Among the. legends pretty we'll spread
over this country and generally believed
is that murderous U-boat warfare was de-
cided upon much aginst the wishes Of the
kaiser.
We are given a picture of a war council
in which the kaiser and his former chancel
lor. Bethmann Hollweg, held out to the
last against the submarine assassntlOns.
But we are told the ruthless war lords and
sea lords practically forced the kaiser to
sanction the policy which SO far has not
effected its purpose and has given the Ger
man cause a mortal blow by bringing
America into the war.
There is reason to believe all this is mere
cock and bull stuff The kaiser wants to
win the war Reventlow, one of the most
jlingo of all German military critics, prac-
tically says the kaiser has to win if he is to
hold his power and his throne.
The head OF the house of Hohenzollern
probably knows this as we'll as anyone To
win he is willing to try any game and any
policy. When his experts convinced him
England could be brought to her knees
within a few months by intense submarine
war, before America could bring her great
forces into play, the kaiser quickly gave his
consent.
1t is time we Americans stop deluding
ourselves into DcneNnS ludl w IllelllI
Fiohenzollern is any better than the men
who surround him. He is just as ruthless
| Just as cruel, Just as callous to human sui
fering. He is playing for high stakes, and
| is Just as desperate as any other gambler
in like position,
He has even keyed himself up to the
| point where he is willing to write doggerel
verse in celebration of the U-boat. 1t seems
that not long ago the Leipziger Illustrierte
| Zeitung had a special submarine edition,
and these lines attributed to the kaiser ap-
peared therein, according to the Boston
| Transcript:
Borne aloft on the nations trust.
! Escorted by its wishes most ardent.
Conducted by the best in the land
| Served by crews that know no fear.
"Hated and feared by the foe.
For boldest exploits ever ready.
Our U-boats make the German flag.
| RESPECTED as the ultima ratio regis"
Ultima ratio regis can best be literally
! translated as 'the last argument of a
king The cause of the German emperor
has indeed fallen low when his last argu-
mcnt is one that seeks to elevate murder
ors piracy to the dignity of legitimate war
| fare.
'The last argument of a king comes
very near being the very last argument
against a king-something that even the
German people may come to see.

|PRlZEFlGHTERS TO
 TEACH ARMY BOXING

Washington, Nov. 5-The commis- sion on training camp activities an- nounced yesterday that through Dr.. Joseph E. Raycroft of Princeton University it had arranged for expert boxers, including Benny Leonard, Kid Mccoy, Battling Levinsky, Richie Mitchell and Paoky Mcfarland, to in- struct groups Of men in the training camps as means of making them better bay'onet fighters. These groups in turn will teach the other men,
 The training will be principally shadow boxing, based on a successful scheme evolved by Sergt William Armstrong of the Canadian army. The men are placed in lines, three or four paces apart, facing the instructors platform. The motions taught are very nearly the same as those used in actual bayonet fighting.
 In addition the recruits will be shown the relation between boxing and bayonet fighting by motion pie lures in which the fundamental move ments of the two methods of fighting will be displayed.
