their first real game this season, while

A BAD REPUTATION.

That Pensacola's confagration possible
ties far exceed those Of Atlanta, Ga, Paris,
Tex, Nashville, Tenn, and Augusta, Ga,
before their sweeping fires, is the state
ment by the Journal of Commerce Of New
York
Wooden shingles are the reason-iust
such wooden shingles as caused the At
lanta fire to spread so disastrously-and in
Aammable buildings The Journal of Com
merce adds that in no southern city is the
Single roof hazard more pronounced than
in Pensacola" because:
by reference to the boundaries named below. it
be observed that on three sides the single roof
completely encrcles endansers the mercantile and
congested value area lying within the limits"
The Single roof section to which refer
enCe is made is given as follows:
Beginning at corner Of Main and Donel-
son, north along Donelson to Intendencia
to COyle to CerVantes to DeVilliers to De-
Soto to Baylen to Gonzalez to Tarragona
to Blount to Cordova to Gonzalez to Ninth
avenue to Jackson to Eleventh avenue to
Belmont to Tenth to Romano to Cevallos
to ZarragOssa to Alcaniz to Belmont to
Baylen to Garden to Spring to Romano to
Barcelona to Main to Donelson.
And the article closes with advice to in
surance managers to cut down their liabili-
ties in this "imperiled section"
Here is a matter that may bear looking
into If our fire limits or regulations are
not adequate, let them be made so. Let all
undue hazards be eliminated. Not only
must we not run the risk of an Atlanta,
but possibly the insurance rate will be low

THE BANK MERGER.

When the merger of the American and
the National Banks Of Pensacola, is finally
effected the resulting financial institution
will be an illustration of the strength that
lies in union.
Now more than ever must development
be encouraged in this undeveloped country,
and the new banking house with its aug
mented capitalization, should be able to do
more in this direction than the two for
merly did, working separately.
No better man than E. r. Malone could
have been chosen as president of the bank;
not only because of his sound business
ability, but also because of his interest in
and understanding of agricultural posi-
bilities in this section.
R. w. Goodhart, retiring president of the
National Bank of Cmmerce, has not vet
announced his plans, but Our best wishes
and the best wishes of the community will
go with him in whatever undertaking
claims his services.
Not yet has the date of the merger been
announced. Though it has been approved
by the comptroller, there are many routine
details that must be attended to before the
change can be made. But development re-
suits should begin to be felt Immediately.

GETTING AT THE GERMAN FLEET

Damn the torpedes-go ahead" is one
OF the naval traditions of the United States
Ever since our fleet began to take an i'm
portant part in the big show, Americans
have been hoping for an aggressive sea
policy. Winston Churchilrs recent article
IN an English magazine, making such de
mand, has quite naturally struck a thrill of
enthusiasm in this country
ChurchllIs argument is based on the
premises that it is better to lose ships in
battle if they hasten the end of the war,
than to have them survive and grow obso-
lete. The allied navies, he says, have two
or three times as many ships as Germany
Are we really to be content" he asks, TO
see the vast mass of about 200 battleships
wait idle on the off chance of the German
fleet emerging to fight until peace-per-
haps an unsatisfactory peaCe-is declared ?"
The idea Of ships driving over mines and
Drawing the land batteries, known to be
more pwerful than the ordinance carried
on the biggest dreadnaughts, to rout the
German fleet out, presents a thrilling
picture: but then, is it any sounder mill
tary policy than the German speCtacularism
OF hurting such masses of men at an obicc-
tive that they did not have room to fall
when they were killed.
The famous cavalry charges the fleet
actions of frmer warfare are obsolete now.
True, the British took a trench the other
day in two minutes-without artillery
preparation, and with the loss of only a
few men; and two British destroyers in an
engagement with six enemies Of her class
sunk several and put the rest to flight But
these are the miraculous exceptions to the
rule that modern warfare consists OF slow
and laborious approaches. Haig was two
years planting one set of mines. If Germany
has looked to her maritime defences half as
we'll as to her land, there are enough mines
submarines and big guns to destroy the
fleet before it could get within striking dis
lance. That England would make some
such attempt, indeed, Germany has been
hoping for the past year or so. Germany

WE DARE NOT FAIL.

I'VE dare not fail" said W. R. Lunk
secretary Of the war council, referring to
the Red Cross fund, and I'VE dare not fail"
should be PensaCola's motto in particular
With only about one-third of its quota
raised, PensaCoIa's second week opened in
uspiciously-less than half the first DAVIS
allotment was raised, and the showing has
been even poorer since.
What though the hundred billion dollar
fund is over-subscribed by the zeal of the
rest OF the country? Our own obligation
is as great as ever-Pensacola's $4,000
must be raised-a lower per capita allot-
ment than has been assigned to Their COM
munities.
Unlike the Liberty Loan, there will be
no refund of Red Cross ver-subscriptions,
for every dollar is needed, grimly needed,
heaven knows, and much more will be
needed
Possibly the small contribution idea has
been too greatly emphasized. Small COntri-
button should be asked only from those who
can not make large donations; but from
those whose incomes permit it, the contri-
button shuld be in hundreds, not in dollars,
in thousands. Heaven knows the men who
60 abroad sacrifice enough for those who
stay; those who stay must sacrifice them
selves for those who go.
People of every degree should put them
selves on a war basis-they should re-
arrange their economic schedules so that
as large a per centage Of their income as
possible may be available for war pur-
poses-national loans, Red Cross, general
alienation
Only three more days ren1ain-Pensaco1a
dare not fail.

PENSACOLA BOY IS
WINNING LAURELS

Many friends of O'Brien Motta, the
brilliant young musician, will be
pleased to learn of his continued sue
cess in Philadelphia, and be justly
proud that a Pensacola boy has won
the many laurels that his genius de-
serves. His fame and popularity has
extended beyond Philadelphia, and at
this early date he ranks amongst the
foremost opponents of his art.
Mr.. Motta recently played at q
meeting of the Knights of Column
bus, the occasion being a special one,
and received many plaudits from dis
tinguished personages present. He has
also accompanied a Victrola, a very
rare and difficult performance for
so young musician. On last Thurs
day he was a guest of honor at ban
quet rendered by members of very
fashionable and exclusive club Of
Philadelphia. Many noted speakers
were present, and at the conclusion of
the banquet Mr.. Motta entertained
the company, upon special request,
with some of his rare playing.
New honors and distinctions are be-
ing rapidly heaped upon Mr.. Motta by
famous musicians, and only recently
he received several new degrees. It
is the sincere wish of all his Pensa-
cola friends that he may continue on
his way to fame and fortune.
