University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles Is that all the students are
schoolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of n uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
enc classes with gramophones. We
go to them to be socialized to acquire
the hall mark Of communal training ;
to become citizens of the world in
stead of inmates Of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
M and become interchangeable
ladies' and gentlemen. The social pres.
sure which effects these changes
should be that Of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members Of the general
community, not that Of barbnrous rab'
bic Of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pednnts.

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation Is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are SO well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
or, says Grit. Rut more often the one
Is n libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends ~ who re-
ports you. Friends are always chart
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage. Enemies car g no good In
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may flatter or condemn. Not
50 with character. This Is something
beyond external observation. 1t Is the
life itself as lived amidst Its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
It's real value, for even you do not nj
ways know just what you are capable
Of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you IRE 10
the face Of severe testing Is character.

CALLS BOYS TO THE C0L0RS
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages Of Sixteen and Twenty-One
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men OF the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In q letter made
public by Secretary Wilson Of the Ia
Dor department, the president says 1t
Is the patriotic duty of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
In the present crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great mp
probation of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve of the employment service
of the department of labor. To give to
the Young men between the ages Of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without in%terrnpting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
at the front and the maintenance OF
thoes whose services are needed here
1t is a high privilege, no less than Il
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
"Let me express the hope that the
young men Of the country not now per
manentty employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to fit them
selves by training and study for goot
citizenship and productive service. Ii
this way they can show themselves
worthy of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus
tain their patriotic brothers who ar
fighting for it today. and command tn
atfectionate pride of the brave mother
who are silently bearing the burden
at home"

quarters that American troops were
in the front line trenches in FraE e
marks the beginning of the culminat-
ing phase of the training of the
American war army.
Neither Secretary Baker nor any
war department official would COM
ment upon the news from abroad. 1t
was plainly indicated, however, that
the movement was regarded simply
as the final course in instruction, and
not as the real initiation of partici-
patton by the United States troops
in the war.
The fact that a quiet sector of the
French line has been selected for this
final training work is evidence that
the actual American front will be To-
Gated elsewhere.

A COMPLEX PROBLEM

Tt is predicted that rigid immigration
laws will receive early consideration when
the war congress" re-convenes in De-
cember.
Dissatisfaction with the LOYALTY of many
aliens and the |. w. W. depredations, for
which Austrians are largely responsible,
will prompt congress to take steps which
will prevent nationals of other countries to
enjoy special rights and privileges, such as
exemption from military service not en-
joycd by American citizens.
Another consideration is the conserving
of public health, which manv believe would
suffer unless additional restrictions are
placed around immigration.
There is a strong sentiment in favor of
excluding all men who have served in the
German or Austrian armies.
The problem is complex and one that
must be treated dispassionately that full
protection may be given America and
American citizens without encroaching
upon any of the democratic PRINCIPLES upon
which America is founded.

WEST FLORIDA MAKES GOOD

Those who knew the true West FLORIDA
spirit had no doubt as to the outcome OF
the Liberty Loan campaign. They were
sure the people would respond and they
did-splendidly.
Starting a week late, they made a driv-
ing finish and greatly exceeded the allotted
quota.
Reports are not all in yet. but Chairman
Mitchell announced last night that Pensa-
cola and Escambia county's subscription
will exceed $4,000, with more than ST.
100000 for the district-a record that all
West Florida may we'll be proud of and
one that proves conclusivelv that this sec
ton is solidly behind the government
ready and willing to do it's full part in the
winning of the war.
A feature that stands forth LUMINOSITY
in our magnificent showing is the large
number of small subscriptions recorded,
some of which represent personal sacrifice,
and for which full measure of credit must
be given.
Pensacola and all West Florida will join
in congratulating the Liberty Loan COM
mittee and the individual workers whose
labors have been crowned with such signal
success.

Married Life The Second Year

i, Winifred had cold and had to be

that the baby must go. On that point

TO CUT SERVICE COSTS

New York will attempt to reduce the
high cost of living through Inauguration
of the club plan. 1t is proposed that
large number of consumers shall form an
organization which will buy food products
in car lots direct from the producers and
distribute them among members at cost,
plus actual expense of han1ing. It is esti-
mated that more than 100000 families in
New York City will profit by the plan
The idea is not new and it has been tried
with varying success for many years
Usually, it fails because the buying public
prefers to pay higher prices in return for
the credit privileges and more convenient
service given by retailers. 1t is, however,
fundamentally sound and is in keeping
with the food administrators recon-
mendation against needless delivery and
service expenses which now add very ma
terially to the retail prices at which foo
stuffs are sold 49,.
If the plan proves successful in New
York it will very probably be adopted
throughout the country and it's develop
ment as part of Our economic system will
depend upon whether the consumers really
wish to receive full value in merchandise for
every dollar expended, or prefers to let part
of the purchase price pay for the luxuries
of unnecessary service to which the Amer
lean public has long been accustomed.

kissed on both cheeks in the French
custom. Some of the French troops
were those who helped to train the
Americans. The trenches were found
to be muddy, but nevertheless in
condition of excellent construction.
Greetings being over, the Americans
settled down and at daylight, under
low hung dripping clouds, they got
their first view of the German line
stretching away in the rolling terrain.
It has rained daily since and the
troops now are covered with mud. Of
ficers say they are certain the Ger
mans know the Americans are oppo-
site them, but there has been no
special activity.
One American battery observed and
scattered a marching enemy group

A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT

Close cooperation between the govern
ments of the United States and Great Brit
ain has spared many owners of southern
farm lands serious inconvenience.
Pursuing its general policy of restricting
all foreign loans by it's subjects, the British
government instructed British mortgage
not to renew maturing loans upon lands in
the United States. AS approximately
hundred million dollars of British money is
loaned upon farm lands in the south, the
task Of transferring the mortgages to Amer
lean investors without working hardships
upon the borrowers would have been diff
cult Secretary McAdoo was appealed to
and he placed the matter before the British
authorities who promptly agreed to re-
scind the order in so far as it applies to farm
lands in this country This act shows Great
Britain's appreciation of the financial aid
which it is receiving from the United States
and emphasizes the harmony and cooper
alton existing between the two countries.

FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK

Half million volunteer workers will
start out tomorrow morning to enlist the
cooperation Of every American home in the
food conservation program.
The task is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mil
lion homes to be visited and ten million
pledges to be. signed-but it will be accom-
p1ished The people of America have
awakened to full realization of the need for
war measures and they are willing to &C
cept voluntarily the food restrictions which
other countries are imposing through Off
cia1 decree. They realize that Our soldiers
in France and our allies must be fed and
they are willing to make any sacrifice.
But many do not understand that the
food pledge does NOT require them to eat
less. That isn't neeessary-yet. With Our
bountiful crops and our vast resources,
there is no immediate danger Of famine.
But all foodstuffs cannot be sent to Europe.
Many wholesome foods. cornmeal for in
stance, would spoil in transit. And there
are others with which Our allies are not
familiar We are simply asked to so reg
ulate our menus as to reduce the consump-
ton of staples needed abroad-to eat spar
ingly of meat, wheat, sugar and dairy
products. There are good substitutes for
the articles we are asked to save and the
food administration will give each food
pledge signer many valuable suggestions
for their use.
Housewives who sign the pledge will re-
ceive practical instruction equal to short
course in home economics and diatetics
and families that join in the conservation
program will benefit through. improved
health resulting from better balanced
meals, which will materially reduce the
high cost of living.
Food conservation, carefully observed,
will prove one of the blessings of the war
and its good effects will extend for genera,
tons after peace is attained.
If the whole nation accepts the sugges-
tions of the food administration it is prob
able that this country could withstand
long, period of war without serious food
shortage. But our future we'll being is
largely dependent upon our present pru-
dence. Failure to save the foods needed
abroad will mean suffering and want for
our soldiers and, eventually. woe and dis
tress for us.
AS practical, sensible nation. it be-
hooves us to sign the food pledge and re-
hgiously follow the recommendations of
the administration. And America will re-
spond to the appeal, Just as it over-sub-
scribed both Liberty Loans and lust as it
will meet every demand that will help de-
feat the enemies of democracy and civiliza-
ton.
