FORMER PENSACOLA
BOY BUYS INTEREST
IN THE ZIMMERMAN

Friends of the Whaley family will
be interested to learn that John
Whaley, son of the former well-knowr
rector Of Christ church, has become
one of the owners Of Tie Southern
Lumberman, the most influential pub
LEGATION Of its kind in the south. As
its name implicitly shows. the Lun-
herman is published in the interests
Of that industry. OF the change, the
following appeared in a New Orleans
newspaper of recent date:
"Lumberman' Changes Ownership
The Southern Lumberman, the
south's leading trade journal, has
been purchased by j. H. Whaley, S.
F. Horn and John Chaffe from the J.
H. Baird Publishing company, and at
a reorganization meeting held yester.
day Mr.. Whaley was elected president.
Mr.. Horn, vice president, and Mr.
Chaffee, secretary.
The Southern Lumberman was
founded thirty-seven years ago by D.
w. Baird, who recognized the neeo
for a journal devoted to the lumber
interests in this section, being located
in the heart Of the hardwood district.
The paper had steady growth from
the very beginning and today it stands
out as the leading lumber publica-
ton in the country. At Mr.. Baird S
death it was taken over by J. II. Baird
who continued to publish it under the
firm name of the j. II. Baird Publish

Russell Addresses
The Local ROtarianS

"The Importance Of the Red Gross
is realized; in Camp Mcclellan. we
are told, there are 70 hospitals, built
to take care of the wounded whom
we shall bring back from France
But there is another consideration as
great as physical health, to-wit: The
spiritual health of the soldier, and to
this the Y. NJ. c. A, and / might al
most say, the Z. NJ. C. A. only, minis
ters."
! He then described the undermining
of character which must inevitably
result from the herding of men to-
gether in camps, without home ties,
or home associations, and the moral
and physical sickness, more especially
the former, which results from such
/ condition. He stated from his own
experience the great betterment of
(, the condition of army camps at the
present time over those which ex-
listed upon the Mexican border. He
was there nine months and worked in
four camps and felt qualified to state.
He said: 'In the present camps l
have seen but one or two drunken
men; but few instances of direct con-
tact with women; and not only to the
Y. M. G. A. work, but to perhaps a
greater degree to the efforts of the
Government to clean up theconton-
ment towns, is this due. The Gov
eminent is making great efforts"
We must not slacken our hold upon
the spiritual life of those who go in
TO the camps. It is remarkable there
to see the entire non-sectarian spirit
of the work. Last Christmas day on
the border the Catholic priest and
himself, held union service, and the
Hebrew association has declined to
make independent provision for the
men of its race m camps. expressing
its faith in the impartiality and eff
cheney of the Y. M. c. A., and stat.
ing that it would rather lend assist
ance to it, than to work independ-
emily.
Over in France General Pershing
pays great tributes to the Y M. C.
A, stating that it is the most efficient
force for improvement that we have
in the armies. You will md the Y
NJ. c. A. not only behind the fighting
lines, but right up in the front trench
es, in little dugouts, under no-man's
land, where only three men can get
in at time, serving chocolate and
bread to the soldiers, when they can
find time to receive it.

| At the regular meeting Of the Ro-
tary Club yesterday Rev. r. w. Rus
sell of the Y. M. C. A. was the guest
of the club, and during the course of
the luncheon discussed plans of the
organization for raising the new $685.

was shown in the address by Mr.. Rus
sell, and when the campaign opens
1t Is expected that the Rotary Club
Will take an active part In raising
Pensacola's quota.
Following Mr.. Russell's address. w.
r. Starnes, general religious secre-
tary for war work in Pensacola made
short talk, outlining the activities
of the Y. NJ. c. A. here. AS a rec
ord of accomplishments, Mr.. Starnes'
remarks were unusually interesting
and timely, and gave the Rotarians q
vivid picture of the actual work of
the organization, which brought home
more forc1bly the need for additional
FUNDS, and the value of the work.
After expressing his thanks to his
auditors for the opportunity to put
the matters before them, which he
was to present. the speaker continued:
Speaking about the war work

d1sastrouS proceedings Of the last
few days has come In to us from Italy,
there is scarcely anyone that Is not
awake to the fact that we arc at war,
or to what extent we are at war.
Fifty-five years ago, when the North
and the South grappled in desperate
combat, the war was right here
around US, and we could realize it:
but today 1t is three tt ousand miles
away; and however raomentous and
terrible a struggle may be in prog
ress there, it is difficult for US to
realize, that it is war to the death.

in the sixties"
eve have to face the fact of what
Germany has done to Belgium, Ser
bia and Roumania, what she is doing
and may do to Italy; and God grant
that the same may not be done to
America
"The particular object, the work,
Of which I speak, is the Y. M. c. A.
We all know we'll that efficiency is
the keynote Of success, and this fact
mas been sadly demonstrated in this
great world struggle"
He went on to state that we did not
know what were the necessary eIe.

seek.

ANNOUNCE PLACE
FOR XMAS TREE
FOR SERVICE MEN

Announcement was made yesterday
that the Army and Navy Life Activl-
ties Committee has decided upon a
plan for the Christmas entertainment
of the local soldiers and sailors, the
entertainment to take the form of a
jolly, old-fashioned Christmas enter
tainment, garnished with sweetmeats
and enlivened with the frills and fur
bellows of a festival.
The function will be held at the
Armory Hall, and will be designated
an Open House. The mothers of the
city, many of whom will have men
folks at other camps, will be asked
to contribute articles of home-coc..esl
sweetmeats for the occusion. There
may be a play to enliven the after
noon. Also, there will be music, dane
ing, and a tree.

are perfected. But what is now GER
tain is, it will have the studied ef-

on the Yuletide day, and to make
them forget as far as possible that
they are away from home, undergo.
ing the rigors of military training.
The Army and Navy Life Activi-
ties Committee will have the coop
Grafton in the plan of the local Red
Cross chapter. 1t is understood that
no gifts will be distributed, this plan
having been given over when it was
realized that in many cases such
gifts would inevitably in most cases
be inappropriate to the needs of the
individual soldier. 1t was thought
best to put the money which would
have been expended in this way into
an entertainment, which will appeal
to all.

The new war revenue bill does not
require that stamps be affixed to in
surance policies, but q tax to be as
sessed on the returns made by the
persons engaged in this line of BUSH
ness. Statement to this effect was
made yesterday by Collector James

to correct an erroneous impression
which some have gained regarding
this special phase of the revenue BILL
Many people are under the i'm
preston that stamps are to be af-
fixed to assurances, but such is not
the case-the tax is simply to be as
