OUR MILITARY PROBLEMS.

What are the problems by land and sea
and air which war will put before the
United States?
Unless the German Mexican plot bears
fruit, our army problem will be compare
lively small as the army is not large
enough for expeditionary purposes. The
hundred thousand regulars could indeed
hardly be considered more than an instruc-
ton school for building up a real army.
It is on our aerial and naval defense that
our protection will mostly depend. Against
Germany's submarine activities along our
coast, we will be able to turn one of our
sports into a powerful weapon-motor-
boating. Not that small pleasure yachts
should fight large submarines acting as
surface cruisers, but they can locate the
periscope and follow until the boat is
forced to rise, when it could be neatly and
scientifically perforated with a three-inch
rapid frer before it could unlimber its
guns Even # the submarine hunted deep
water, its presence would be betrayed by
air bubbles ...=,
Patrol work on the high seas would have
to be undertaken, and the navy brought up
to enlistment strength, so that when the
time came to hunt out the home nest of the
submarines and destroy the Gerfan feet,
orr snuadronq would be able to cooperate
with their allies
But it is in the air that we are vitality
weak The two hundred aviators in army
md '-avy have illeir hands full in training
cthor aviators and doing technical and
workshop duties: hut IN addition to these
r. they wo;''C] have the task Of patrol
IN re thc"s2~ds Of miles of coast of the
United States during the first few months
Of war Alan r. Hawlev says that for the
upbniding of our air service we rust train
immediately thousand aeroplane opera
tors and thousand operators of observa-
ton balloons The government is making
arrangements train four hundred bal
lconists at Pensacola now To train two
thousand airmen are needed twenty army
aviation stations, ten aerostatic stations
ard one aero station for every fifteen
naval stations The grounds would cost
about S20000,000, and 5000 airplanes
S3O,0O00 00-besides upkeep, salaries, etc
It may seem high price, but upon ali
supremacy depends the usefulness of both
army and navy. and we can not bring our
aerial organization to too high a state Of
development
The war NAV end before an expedition
airy force could be sent; it NAV never be
necessary to employ the tactics of Manila
bay, but whether or not it is tried in battle
our military organization will take ten
year development within the next few
months.

OUR PATRIOTIC GREEKS.

Fresh from the homeland, or longtime
residents here, it's all one to the Greeks.
who argue that the country where they
live and whose protection they enjoy, is
the country to fight for, and so it is no
surprise to read of the hundred Jackson
vile Greeks, who, responding to the need
of the United States, have telegraphed the
president, volunteering their services in
case of war.
Which reminds US that the Greeks have
on more than one occasion shown
their patriotism here, and if more has not
already been said of them, it is simply be-
cause, of a proud race and one inspired
with such splendid traditions, we naturally
expect great things.

Editor of The Journal:
The time is fast approaching when
the boys and girls of our city will
be hieing themselves to the "Old
Swimming Hole" namely, Bay View
Park, and not the boys and girls only,
but great many of the grown-ups,
are looking forward to the opening of
this justly popular resort.
1t is remarkable that this resort,
now entering upon its eighth year.
should have furnished bathing facil-
tiles to so many; our records shaw
that, during it's existence, nearly
100000 people have taken advantage
of its facilities, that there has never
been any serious accidents, which
speaks volumes for the careful man
agement that has characterized it
since its establishment.
1t has been the desire of the man
agement to so conduct Bay View,
that it viii at all times be a safe
place to which parents can let their
children go and be assured that they
are in safe and competent hands.
Up to last year, when our city
was visited by two hurricanes, the re-
ceipts Of the refreshment stand and
rentals of private dressing rooms
and suits, paid all expenses, but the
damage by the storms, and the fall
ing off in attendance after the heavy
rains of last July, has left the com
mittee with deficit of approximate
ly $4,000.
The October storm carried away
the high-dive and otherwise damaged
the pavilion, and it will be necessary
for these to be replaced and repaired
before the place can be opened fol-
the season.
The roads in the park are almost
impossible and much work will have
to be done before the bathing season
opens

der whose auspices Bay View is man
aged, Is composed of public spiritet
citizens who give of their time ant
money that this place, easy of access

Anita Stewart in ''The Daring of
Diana"

Anita Stewart in ''The Daring of
Diana"
The most popular star of filmdom
is seen as the newspaper reporter in
'"The Daring of DIANA" the Vita
graph Blue Ribbon Feature, to be
shown at the Bonita theatre tomor-
row.
Anita Stewart has won this title
through the masterful interpretations
which she has given the motion pic
ture public since her debut several
years ago.
In this feature film, Miss Stewart
is cast to splendid advantage-the
role of a newspaper reporter is por-
trayed as it was perhaps never por-
trayed before. Instead of a brusque,
officious and aggressive character
with a huge notebook and pencil, this
artist who works under the Vitagraph
eagle, has made the part real one.
We begin to think Miss Stewart must
know something about newspaper re,
porters-and she does.

Jacksonville is the only port on the

There is hardly gun here that

war be declared. Savannah, Charles

ports, none of which are more i'm
portant than Jacksonville, are an at
forded good protection from attack.
Suppose that a submarine, lurking
near American waters, should steal
into Jacksonville some night, what
would stop it's crew from removing
all the money it wanted to from the
banks; what would stop it from

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most won
derful lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces OF
orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove sucn
blemishes as sallowness, freckles and
tan, and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly
fragrant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face. neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is wonderful to smoother rough, red
hands.
