STEAMER FLORIDA
CARRIED EXCURSION

With flags f1uttering from many
points, the large stern-wheel steamer
Florida went into the excursion bust
ness yesterday despite the unpromis-
ing aspect of the weather. A private
party of about fifty enjoyed several
hours on the steamer, the wharf on
the return trip having been reached
in the hardest rainfall of the day. IL
was necessary for the excursionists
to remain on the boat half an hour
or more until the showers subsidized.
This fine steamer in the latter part
Of last summer was thoroughly in
spected and passed as an excursion
boat, and it is announced that, should
the patronage justify, the old steam
err will carry many hundred to the is
land and other points of interest dur
ing the approaching summer.

TRUCKS CALLED FOR
DUTY FROM PARADE

Hundreds of visitors in Pensacola,
packed along the streets to watch
the kings welcor ing parade, had an
added attraction thrown into a series
of thrills which they experienced be-
fore the day had long spent itself
when fire trucks were called out of
the line of parade to duty
The head of the parade had hardly
reached Garden street when the siren
from the assistant chiefs little Chev-
rolet was heard above the din. Then,
feeling it's way through the crowds,
the assistant chiefs racer was seen,
opening a way for the larger trucks
following. The motor hose truck, fol-
lowed by the motor hook and ladder
truck were the ones which left the
parade and hustled to the corner of
Sixteenth avenue and Fourteenth
street, where the residence of Percy
S. Hayes was found in flames. The
fire had started during the absence
of the family, and when the depart
ment reached the scene the pretty
suburban home was a complete loss,
With the loss of the residence also
went with it the destruction by fire
of the entire contents Of the home.

DISLoYALTY IN MINNEAPOLIS.

That any considerable number of Amer
leans should, at time like this, be guilty of
the disloya1ty described by the Associated
Press dispatch account of the mass meeting
in Minneapolis, attended by thousands and
called by Mayor Thomas Van Lear, as a
protest, not only against war, but also
against President Wilson's action in sew
ering diplomatic relations with Germany"
reminds us of the Tories and explains Ben
edict Arnold.
Simply for questioning resort to U-boat
ruthlessness, a member of the Re1chstag
and a German nobleman have been arrested
in Germany; but how much more PERM
cious is the blanket denunciation by the
American mayor and the American rabble!
That resort has not been made to the meas
ures prescribed for treachery and agitation,
is magnificent tribute to personal liberty
in this country-respected even when more
drastic action would be expected.
German resentment of the cut direct
could not be more unreasoning or more VIC
lent. Had Van Lear and his nalcontentS
understood the presidents motives, they
would not howl over his methods. Sever
ance of relations may lead to war; true, but
peace may lead to war. Severance of reia-
tons is the utmost that the president ever
contemplated: if Germany forces war upon
us, Americans will defend themselves and
incidentally the Minneapolis misanthropes
AS. however, the Minneapolis Loyalty
Society has been formed there is some nope
that this city may be represented among
the million men who overnight would
spring to their country's defense.

APPRECIATION FOR
CANAL APPROPRIATION

Editor Journal.
We are always ready to find fault
with our public servants when they
fail to do what is expected of them,
and very often they are round1y
criticized, so think when they do
we'll we should be as ready to credit
them for it. Our representatives at
Washington promised to do all they
could to secure an appropriation for
the canal between Pensacola and Mo
bile. They have gotten the appro-
priation. Now I think we should let
them know that we fully appreciate
what they have done. If that money
is judiciously expended, and the canal
opened, it will be a wonderful feeder
for this place. hope the gentlemen
will be made to feel that we are as
ready to think them for what they
do as to blame them for what they
fail to do.
Respectfully,

A PRECONCEIVED PLAN.

Gernany's attack on neutral commerce
is asnluch part of her campaign for world
doninfon as the destruction of Belgium.
If the last two years have proven any,
thing at all, they have shown that there is
no place in the German military code for
emergency methods-that nothing is left to
chance. A thirty year preparation shows
how carefully Germany looks to the future.
Germany, however, miscalculated the
strength of her foes. The desperate resist
ance Of Belgium, and the precious time lost
there, enabled the French to rush their tax
lcab army to the Marine and stem the tide
This is what saved Europe then; but Ger
many Is fighting with desperate, incompar-
able ferceness for the victory which she
sill believes possible
Butswith German ships tied It'd and Ger
man commerce in ruins, the protraction of
the war has resulted in the remarkable de-
velopmert of neutral commerce. Barren
would be the victory over the Entente if
the neutral merchant marine had in the
meantime accomplished the conquest of the
worlds business. Hence the submarine de-
creed to destroy neutral shipping.
Germany, in her days of overweening
might, did not make excuses. eve know
this is contrary to international law" said
Bethmann-Holiweg, referring to Belgium.
Now, however, Germany is seeking to mask
her intention behind morality. 1--WE are
fighting7a defensive war" says the govern
ment in whose country not single battle
/ has taken place. 1--WE are the victims of an
unhofy aggression. We wanted peace, and
they woufdn't give US what we wanted, and
we hope you will see how morally we are
justified'fn sinking your ships and killing
your people"
If Germany were fighting a defensive
war, shewould hurl her U-boats at the Brit
ish fleet, instead of at merchant ships: she
would make blockade runners of her hun

dreds of submarines and laugh siege to
Scorn.
With armies deadlocked and a never end
ing source of supplies established, the Allies
would very soon recognize the futi1ity of
their wicked designs and permit peace in
Potsdam-if there was any truth in Ger
many's protestations. But Germany
Stakes her all" on unrestricted U-boat war
fare, because if she wins she wins from both
friend and foe, and if she loses, defeat will
be no worse than victory over foe alone.
Our foreign commerce already feels the
effect, and the American merchant marine,
which we have been so proudly developing,
is the only one in the world Except of
course the Germany which does not dare to
ply the sea today.

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.


As You say, Imogen, the pacifsts
would have tried to keep US out of
war in 1776.
Having recovered from the grippe,
we are now ready for the spring
fever.
The waist line is rising, says a la
dies fashion note; but not in decoE
lete gowns.
Peaches have no place in tonight's
parade, the theme of which is flowers
and fruits, but they will be among
the spectators.
Senators Works, Vardaman, and
Stone would be doing their country
great service if they would only
shut their month and sit on it.
Without intending any discourtesy
whatever, we would much rather see
King George fall off horse than
King Priscus ride on a float.
In case .Germany's allies declare
war on the United States, we can
send Frank Gotch over to attend to
the Terrible Turk.
While the parade committee was
selecting type to represent the diff
ferent flowers, we wonder why our
good friend Ben Hancock was not
chosen to typify the violet.

FAITH. HOPE AND FOXES.

What so bitter as unappreciated en-
deavor2 Millions secret sorrow that the
world thought Paradise Lost a greater
poem than Paradise Regained, knew no
abatement. Even though man wirr~fame
and wealth, if he realize not his dreams in
so doing, he is unhappy. The world is full
of successful artists, statesmen, financiers,
ambassadors, professional men, ecc1esias-
tics, who wanted to be policemen, bandits,
circus riders, pirates, Indian fighters,
steamboat captains; and never achieving
the Holy Grail of their boyhood ambition,
in their innermost heart-that interesting
organ-they feel themselves failure.
What, then, must be the feelings of West
Florida, that after years of exploiting, in
stead of Sunshine Land, the land of a thou
sand opportunities, with a kind soil, rich in
forests, and of unexcelled cattle POSSIBLE
ities-its fame abroad should be connected
with foxes? And what of Our own feelings
we who labor so unrenittingly in the
fields of agriculture, science, economics and
world politics-that our opinion Ahould be
invoked on a question of whether foxes
climb trees2
Such, alas, is the cursed spite a recent is
sue of The New York Herald gives us to set
right, in an editorial discussion of the state
ment by one N. H. Holmes that foxes, when
hard pressed, prefer pine tree to hole in
the ground, and refers to any newspaper in
West Florida, specifically The Pensacola
Journal, for confirmation.
Fox lore is science in which we are1woe-
fully weak When the subject of foxes is
mentioned, we have mental reactions con-
corning unpalatable grapes, dances, insan-
ity, tails in difficulties, and ruthlessness as
applied to hen houses; we also have faint
| glimmering that auncient Pistol was wont
to refer to his sword as a fox; and foxy,
too, used to be applied to feminine charm IN
the brave pre-chicken days.
If foxes do climb a tree, it is because they
want to get better view of Our wonderful
West Florida, with which both Mr.. Holmes
and our confrere on The New York Herald
will be equally charmed if they will come
here and sit under our vine and fox-tree
and we will talk of more things than Alice
and mutually condole on unreal1zed nope
and torpedoed ideals.
