BERNSTORFF KNEW 1T.

IEtimaticns have been more or less
frequent, however, at trials and otht
proceedings instituted against pro
German agents in this country
Won Bernstorff had, at least, general
knowledge of the work which they
were conducting. In most instances
this knowledge would appear to be
only of a general nature. In few
cases leads pointing toward his per-
sonal knowledge of specific instances
of German violations of American
neutrality were not publicly devel-
oped. The governments purpose in
not following these leads with public
disclosure was to permit of closer
examination into the ambassadors
actual participation in them.
The suggestion was made that by
organization" the ambassador might
have meant any one of the different
so-cal.ed peace societies that were ac-
tive at that time. That may have
been true but it was learned that
State Department officials do not
know what the ambassador did mean.
It was assumed, however, that he
referred to an organization he had set
up although some officials were in
elined to believe the method of in
fluencing was the using OF paciflsts

ILLUSTRATED TALK
ON LIFE IN JAPAN
1T FIRST BAPTIST

Since the Japanese have become
our allies in the great world war. we
are very much interested in every
thing that pertains to these remark
able people. Our readers will be
pleased to learn that Rev. J. A. Ans
ley, pastor of the First Baptist
church, has arranged to give an illus
trated address on Country Life in
Japan" on Sunday evening at half
past seven o'clock. Seventy-eight SUI
perb stereopticon views have been Sc
cured, each one photographed on the
spot, and beautifully colored by hand;
when projected on the screen they
are almost like SO many fine oil
paintings.
These views show many phases Of
Japanese life, the people in their
picturesque costumes, their homes,
their beautiful country, the world ia
nous cherry blossoms, the tea and
silk industries, the Japanese school
boy" their temples, shrines, gods and
priests, and many other interesting
features. Some of the work of Chris
tan missionaries will be also shown.
Special music will be furnished by
the orchestra of Co. 1, G.. A. c., of
Fort Pickens. Special invitations
have been extended to the soldiers at
Forts Pickens and Barrancas, and
also to the men at the aero statfNu.
1t is expected that there will be an
unusually large attendance, taxing
the capacity of the large auditorium
of the church.

MEETING MEDICAL
ASSN. POSTPONED

Owing to the response of Pensacola
physicians to the call of the colors,
the meeting of the West Florida and
Southern Alabama Medical Associa
ton which was formed in Pensacola
last year has been postponed until a
date to be announced later, according
to announcement made yesterday By
DR.. Louis DEM. Blocker, president Of
the organization.
The association was organized last
December and great interest was
shown in the convention, which was
attended by some of the most prom
inent physicians and surgeons in this
section. During the three days of
the meeting, special papers were read,
clinical work done, and many social
functions given in honor of the WISH
tors.
Members are looking forward to
the next meeting, which was to be
even larger than the first one, but
because of the absence of so many
of the medical men it was decided to
postpone the meeting.

Lieut.. Blount was a captain in the

France is only awarded TO an officer
of some other army than the French

the Serbian decoration was given to
him after the capture of Monastir.

Of interest to large number of
friends in Pensacola is the following
account of the experiences of Lieut..
T. J. Blount, son of Hon. w. A.
Blount, who has just arrived in Amer
lea after three years fighting with the
allied forces in Europe. In a special
dispatch Tuesday The Journal gave
an account of Lieut.. Blount's arrival,
which is given added interest by the
following story which appeared in
The New York Sun:
THE SUNS STORY.
After three years OF fighting on
practically every front in the great
war Lieut. F. Blount of Pensacola,

The short respite from fighting

Secretary Lansing adhered to his

disclosure and refused to reveal the
manner in which the message to
Berlin came into the hands of the gov
ernment.
1t is known that the message
reached Berlin but whether Berlin
ever was able 20 get reply to Amer
lea is no. known. 1t was indicated
that Il came into possession of the
State Department some time after it
was sent, PERHAPS after the break in

claration of war. 1t was pointed out
that knowledge of the ambassadors
action at the time it was taken would
have preeipitated more immediate ac-
ton but the suggestion was answered
by the intima1on that the mass Of
evidence being gathered then was of
such character that it might not
have been considered necessary or op-
perfume to give undue Importance
then to a knowledge of the ambassa-
doris duplicity.
Little surprise over the disclosure
was manifested at the capitol Sena-
tors and representatives regarded the
incident merely as fresh evidence of
German intrigue, of which they had
been previously convinced.
"1n view of the fact that charges
of large expenditures of money in
Germany's propaganda has not been
denied" said Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, this new evidence is cumula-
tive. The money evidently was spent
in propaganda. 1t is possible that
there are men in this country big
enough scoundrels to take money for
that purpose. l would be deeply in

him, were financed by Germany"
Senator Wadsworth of New York,
said the statement accounts for many
messages congressman received about

The Machinery

The body is a highly organized ma

the liver and the kidneys work for the
common good. Damage to either one
of these organs interferes with man as
a motor mechanism. The automobile
expert knows how important it is that
the carbueretor does not get too much
fuel, along with sufficient air to burn
or explode the gas. Too much fuel in
mans machine, such as eating too
much meat, or alcohol or tea, and the
liver cannot turn over" nervous
overwork and lack of exercise in out
door air bring constipation and bad
health. Eat less meat, plenty of
vegetables, and with air and good ex-
ercise you need little else If the liver
