(World Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON. April 24-Some Of
the opponents in congress to the Sc
lective conscription plan base the
principal feature of their opposition
on the ground that the proposition is
getting away from democracy. the
principal upon which our government
Is founded and to which is due our
happy state of civilization and pros
perity.
In a sense that is true. 1t is also
true that we are entering this war to
fight for the democracy of the world {;
and how are we entering?
We are fighting. or about to fight.
a war for democracy, and we are
fighting 1t, or about to fight II, in the
most undemocratic way ever proposed
in the history of this nation.
There have been more really un-
democratic laws introduced in the last
three weeks in congress than in all

ALABAMA AUTO AND
STREET CAR COLLIDE

A large, high-powered automobile
from Alabama, driven by A. L. Sims,
and occupied by another gentleman
and two ladies, collided with Belt
line car, at the intersection of Gov
eminent and Palafox streecs, at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. No one
was hurt but the handsome car was
considerably damaged, the front axle
having been twisted and bent so bad
" that it was unsafe to operate the
machine on the streets.
Officer Shackleford at once inves-
tigated the case and placed Mr.. Sims
under arrest, charging him with VIC
E lating traffic regulations. He prompt
ly furnished cash bond and was re-
leased.
The accident was later thoroughly
investigated by Police Captain Wilde,
who at once cleared the crowds from
streets and sidewalks, for a large
number were attracted by the trouble
and almost congested the <treets.

Eleven boys and eight girls, broth
ers and sisters, some; chubby faced,
bouncing babes, lads and lassies full
of promise.
They are at the Pearl Eagan Home
now; they are well treated there of
course; but there is nothing like ones
own h@ne!
How many homes are there in
Pensacola that have not known the
bounce of a baby's feet, or the joy
Gus shout of childhood! Now at least
nineteen have the chance to fill tbs
void!
When these kiddies have been
placed the Pearl Eagan Home will
not undertake the care of others, ex-
cept for adoption or IN emergency
cases, or when placed there by eth
er the city or county authorities, mo-
ton to that effect having been passed
at the last meeting of the governing
board. This action was necessitated
by the lack of funds. But that is for
the future-for the present, there are
nineteen boys and girls who want
homes, and there are many times
more than nineteen homes that want
kIddies.

GRACEVILLE ENJOYS
GOODMELON SEASON
.445 CARS SHIPPED
Special to The Pensacola Journal.

special to The Pensacola Journal.
Graceville, Fla, July 14.-The wa
termelon season is nearing a compile
ton. Melons began to move on June
18th. The season will close Aug. 1st
Up to the present time 455 cars have
moved from this division, $50 from
Graceville alone. Owing to adverse
weather conditions the output has
been reduced about 60 per cent. There
has never been a year that the size
and quality has eQualed that of The
year, and never before were such
satisfactory prices received. During
the remainder of the season, after
thorough and complete canvass,
should markets be favorable we will
move between $50 and 300 cars more.
The second crop now maturing is
of better size and quality than that
of the melons shipped prior to the
maturity of the present crop. Wealth
er conditions continue favorable
markets are cleaning up nicely, prices
are advancing since the recent COM
paratively low market and the West
Florida Melon Association anticipates
closing the season, with prices prac-
tically the same as those received at
the inception. Officials of the L. &
N. R. r. Industrial and Transporter
ton department have used their IN
firing efforts to assist the growers in
every way possible toward the sue
cess of the industry. This help has
been invaluable to the people alonN
this line, While the output has been
less than anticipated with references
to the acreage planted, prices have
been satisfactory to the shipper. A
better method of marketing and dis
tributing has been in effect at this
point this year than previous years,
owing to the fact that The West
Florida Melon Growers Association
organized for the express purpose of
handling this crop. The unity Of &C
ton which exists among the members
has been in a large part the cause of
this years success in connection with
the work of the efficient officers in
charge Of the organization.
The fact that this point has been
visited by more buyers than during
any preceding shipping season is evil
dence in itself that we are Produc-
ing superior melon.

Detroit, July 14.-Albert C. Kalt-
schmidt was one of the first of many
alleged German sympathizers taken

the bail demanded of him.
The warrant against him, read at
the time of his arrest, charged that
he had "set on foot in the United
States a military expedition against
the Dominion of Canada" Subes-
quently a federal grand jury Citing
at Detroit, returned several indict-
ments against Kaltschmidt and
twelve others. These bills, in addi-
tion to the charge contained in the
origSal warrant, hold Kaltschmidt
and the others for alleged completely
in numerous dynamite plots. Ten of
those named in the indictments with
Kaltschmidt were promptly taken
into custody. The other two are serv-
ing sentences in Canadian prison

Company, Ltd, of VAUDEVILLE, Ont.
They are Charles F. Respa, % years
old, sentenced to life Imprisonment at
Kingston, Ont, and William Leffler
sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.

authorities said he made, that .Kalt-
schmidt was the head of conspiracy
to dynamite not only the Peabody
plant, but the armory at Windsor,
Ont, and many other Canadian fac
tories and bridges.
LETTER was convicted and sentenced
August Is, 1915, and two months
later-October 4, 1915-an Ontario

party to the dynamite conspiracy. Eff
forts were made to obtain his extra

against him was not an extraditable
offense.

territory. He was taken into Gus
tody August 8, 1915, at Bots Blanc
island, a recreation park, opposite

GOVERNMENT ATTACKS ON BIG SCALE
TASK OF Maintaining FOOD SUPPLY
to Be Spent in Stimulating Production and Poteo.
ton and Conserving Of Crops-Fam Help activities to Be
Extended Marketing Assistance t. Be *.
tended to the Producers

Washington.-The task Of maintain
ing during the war an ample supply
of food will be attacked on a still
larger scale by the United States de-
partment of agriculture through a
score or more Of projects, under the
provisions CT the food production bill
just enacted by congress.
While most of the projects will be
extensions Of present activities, some
of them will represent new undertake
iags. The task will be to find just
where the country stands in so far
as the adequacy of the present food
supply is concerned, to speed up the
production of food crops Wherever this
can be done, and to stop SIS many as
possible of the leaks through which
hundreds Of millions of dollars wortl,
of edible products annually is wasted.
Eleven million three hundred and for
ty-six thousand four hundred dollars
are made available for the work in
the food production bill. This money
is for emergency use in addition to the
funds appropriated in the regular ag-
ricultural appropriation bill for the
usual activities Of the department. The
bill also is distinct from the food con-
troll bill, measure having to do chief
ly with the regulation of the distribu-
ton Of food.
To Increase County Agent Force.
One of the most important steps to
be taken in the emergency agricultural
work will be the extension IF the ex-
listing force Of county agents, the Joint
field employees IF the department and
the states, who come into most direct
contact with farmers. With the addi-
ton of the new county agents, an
agent will be situated in practically
every agricultural county in the Unit
ed States that will cooperate to advise
and assist formers in every way pos
sible On matters of production, conser-
walton and marketing. The number
Of woman .s;''nty agents in rural coun-
ties will be considerably increased and
other woman agents will he placed in
a number of the larger towns and cit
les. These women will stimulate the
production of garden truck, poultry
and other products by women and chill
dren, and will advise and instruct in
regard to the most efficient methods
of food utilization and conservation.
Labor and Food Problems.
Under the food production bill the
office of farm management Of the de-
partment, in cooperation with the
United States department Of labor.
will extend the farln-help activities
through which farm labOrers and the
farmers who most need them have
been brought together during the pres
ent season.
The third of the more important Of
the emergency projects to be carried
out by the department Of agriculture
is a quick survey of the food situation.
This activity will be for the purpose
of asccrtaining as accurately as posi-
