The third proposition has been dis
cussed only as a last resort. The COM
bined naval forces of Great Britain,
France and the United States might
destroy the great German naval base
and the strongly fortified island of
Heligoland but this could be done only
at a frightful cost.
If it were not for the extreme uncer-
tain Russian situation, it is believed
the allies would not hesitate to close
the Cattegat and Skagerrak, at least
temporarily to prevent the passage OF
German submarines which they assume
leave Kiel from the Baltic end Of the
canal
American navy experts are confident
that some means will soon be found in
the near future, IL indeed 1t has not al
ready been discovered, to rid the seas OF
German submarines. But no further
statement that would indicate what has
been discovered is expected to be made
because Of the desire OF the navy de-
partment officials to prevent word from
reaching Germany that this govern
ment has any new methods Of fighting
submarines.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF Y. M. c. A.

1t costs thousand dollars to raise a
boy to the age of fifteen. 1t costs more to
send him to college, but the economic
problem presented by the class that have
someone to pay their way and fit them for
life, is not large. 1t is very real, however,
in the case of those who, at fifteen must
emerge from sheltered existence. Will
they yield profitable returns to society, or
will they go bad?
Down at the Y NJ c. A. there are a
hundred and fifty boys, representing an in
vestment of $15Q,000. About third of
them have started out to earn a living, and
the rest are preparing for still greater
work. By the secretary and his three as
sistants they are being trained in body,
mind and morals, at an average annual
outlay of $50, while the membership fees
total a scant 81.
Thus the manhood factory is running at
loss; the plant to which $4,000 Of raw
material is entrusted, is in danger of
closing down. Not only is there deficit
of $4,000 per annum, but years of struggle
have been unable to clear away the incum-
brance of S13, 800 on the plant itself-nine
per cent of the $150,OOO material the fac
tory is developing for society.
When a business keeps running into
debt, there can be but one outcome. But
to foreclose the mortgage and shut up the
factory is simply one of those things that
must not be permitted. Raising the mem
bership fees would put the Y. NJ. c. A. on
a business basis, but it would make it i'm
possible for some boys to receive it's ben
ehts, and if they go wrong, society will
have to pay their Jail costs, besides the
direct loss society suffers from their trans
gressions. Running the factory is a money
saving for society,"
Suggestion is made that per cent
bond issue. be foated. interest to be com
puted quarterly, and $1,000 to be retired
each year by sinking fund. A better plar
would be to liquidate the entire indebted
ness and present the manhood factory tt
the community without incumbrance.
Who will offer $4,000, So, 800, $1,000 con
tingent upon the raising of the entire in
debtedness?

PENSACOLA'S CARNIVAL.

In deciding to continue Mardi Gras, the
Carnival association has very wisely put
itself on record as denouncing the lawless
and disgusting feature of the last celebra-
ton.
AS the Carnival association saws, it was
in no way responsible for the disorders
being concerned only in getting up a good
parade and preparing the coronation.
There is no use crying over split milk, and
the miserable saturnalia at least has
aroused public sentiment that nothing like
it will be attempted again.
Although there are many who would
prefer flower festival or water celebra-
ton, no generous-ninded person would
withhold the accolade of appreciation from
the progressive citizens who give of their
time, their endeavor and their money to
make PensaCOlaS carnival.
If those who are interested in these new
features will give half as much energy to
developing their ideas as the members OF
the Carnival association, Pensacola's an
nual Jubilee will be one of the most varied
and remarkable attractions in the south.

THOSE MEDICAL REMOVALS.

Declaring he has proof that the mem
bers of the eclectic board of medicine ''have
given false licenses from extinct and dead
colleges, for sums from $500 to $500"
Governor Cats, with characteristic energy,
has dismissed them from public service.
The governor also says that the fake
doctors thus licensed to practice under
false certificates have caused a number of
deaths.
Assuming that the governors informa-
is correct, he is deserving the thanks Of
the people for dismissing the board in
question, but what about the incompetent
doctors already licensed? Are they to be
allowed to practice and kill people? 1t is
unthinkable Governor Cats calls on
everybody to report eclectic doctors hold
ing certificates of the board in question,
that their competency may be established,
and one of NE examiners is said to have
ued the state. But we hope the governor
will soon announce that the whole I'M
