OLD GLORY ALREADY IN FRANCE

We can understand Roosevelt when he
talks about the glory of going to France.
Americans generally-whose Characters
tic it is to throw themselves whole-heart-
edly into everything they undertake, IN
whom to battle for democracy is an inher-
tied instinct, and whose history IS SO init
mately concerned with humanity-Amer-
leans would like nothing better than to join
him on the great emprise But when the
colonel talks about Americas duty to send
the flag to the front, as an earnest of Our
intention, he is utterings highly concen-
trated form of rot.
The flag is at the front-it doesn't have
to be taken there. As soon as this country
declared war Americans in the French avi-
alton corps were given a separate organiza-
ton under Old Glory There are in addi-
ton $4,000 Americans fighting in the
ranks of our allies-five times as many as
Roosevelt proposed to take over. More
Americans are fighting for democracy in
Europe today than took part in the battle
Of Santiago.
Literally speaking, it is the American
drive on St. Quentin, as well as the English
and the French
Later on-if the war lasts that long-We
will send a great army abroad; but it IS
unnecessary to prove good faith with an in
adequate force now. Our allies don't
doubt u.s. Even if we didn't have man at
the front, with our food supplies we are
helping win the drive against Hindenburg,
by relieving the English vessels of patrol
duty along our coasts we are sending a
fleet against the submarines; while our
money loan to Russia and the railroad ex-
perts we are sending to relieve that coun-
try's most pressing need are the equiva-
lent of another army on the eastern front.
America does not do things by halves,
It's power is already astounding the world,
in Balfour's phrase. When our army goes
abroad, it will be real army. not a forcelet
barely able to hold mile of trenches.

BECOMING A RoUT.

How rapid the drive against the Ger
mans IS, may be inferred from the capture
OF four of the famous howitzers by the
French northeast of Soissons-the kaiser's
War-surprise Of 1914, with which he re-
duced forts considered impregnable to
mere rubbish heaps and almost won the
war 1t is almost in the last year or so
that our allies have been able to equal the
Big Berthas-and then they went them
one better.
These monster howitzers have their po-
s1tlon miles to the rear of the actual fight
ing, their purpose being to smash the OPP
posing trenches, destroy batteries, and to
protect their own lines with a curtain Of
fire. In a retirement, they are always the
first to leave
But striking with the swiftness Of light
ming, the French turned retirement in this
| section at least, to a suave-qui-peut: fur
ther to the front capturing vast stores of
rapid fire guns, rifles and bombs, besides
rounding UP thousands of prisoners.
In the meantime the British are driving
the Germans from the aif-they sent down
| forty planes couple of days ago-a new
| record-and are thus preventing observa-
ton for German artillery fire and have a
free hand besides in raiding the reinforce
ments and supply trains the Germans are
rushing forward
The fighting now is taking on the sem
tsational character of the early days of the
war in 1914-with the tables reversed. But
there is no Marine in the direction linden
burg is heading; and while Germany was
at her full strength in 1914. the allies are
only reaching theirs now-and daily wax
ing stronger.

PEOPLE DEMAND IT.

Universal military service, this time last
year, whenever the idea ventured itself into
a discussion, was received with long and
loud boots of derision
But even the most conservative parts of
the South are now accepting it as the in
evitable, the only efficient safeguard of ma
tional life; among them Pensacola, whose
Rotary club the other day-composed of
representative, hard thinking men-unan-
imously endorsed the principle and wired

gresham Kehoe, urging their support of
the administration BILL
Some conscientious directors to univer-
sal service there undoubtedly areas
there are conscientious DIRECTORS to war; as
there will be conscientious directors to
peace, whatever the terms If it was not
for difference of opinion, as Mark Twain
said, there couldn't even be horse races.
But the majority of those opposed to
universal service are shirkers-1nen who
if it came to vote, would oppose universal
taxation who would prefer that there
should be no universal law observance
To hear a man of military responsible
tiles, who has not enlisted, laud the volun-
teer system, is illuminating if not actually
enlightening
Champ Clark makes a double error when
he says, Il am for letting the flower Of
youth of this country volunteer before we
fasten the disgrace of draft upon them. :
The flower Of the youth are not enlisting-
enlistments have dropped off half in the

COMPLAIN Of MANY
THEFTs OF MILK

Many complainth of the thefts of
milk and milk bottles have been made
to the police station recently. One
dairyman stated that large number
of complaints had been made to him
by patrons, and as he has been on
the route personally, he knows the
complaints are founded on fact, as the
milk jars have been left on porches
whence they have disappeared rather
mysteriously.
Instructions have been given the
police to watch out for the operation
of the early morning thief.

BAD CHECKS PASSED
BYA STRANGERHERE

Three and possibly more bad checks
have been floated successfully during
the past few days, one hotel Getting
victimized by the passage Of two
while a druggist was the other victim
The checks were not for a very large
amount in any case, but the apPaT-
ent ease with which the worthless
checks appear to have been floatel
seems to indicate that they were
handed out by someone other thah'
an amateur.
One of the victims reported to the
police that he had reason to believe
that a man in uniform passed the
check on him, and the police have a

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DARNEY.


Germany missed her first shot, but
America didn't.
The band wagon is stiH pretty
well crowded, and still they come!
In cracking the Hindenberg line,
General Haig has proved that it IS
not what it is cracked up to be.
Soon May will be here and then
men will have only one month to
enlist or abide the June consequences.
It may have been a torpedo that
missed the Smith, and it may have
been a porpoise, but whatever it was,
it was a pretty poor shot.
Recruiting is dropping at such a
rapid rate that soon all the papers
will be printing the name of the daily
volunteer, unless the government
puts in CONSUMPTION.
Germany says she evacuated those
villages in northern France. And
evacuated all those arms and ammu-
nition-espec the four big howit-
zers-that have fallen into the
French hands; evacuated the thou
sands of prisoners, too!
After describing a piece of road
near the Chumuckla bridge, which is
the most fearful road it has been
given US to witness in our peregrin-
atoms through the United States
Europe, Mexico and Cetnral Amer
lea, we remarked, in innocent exuber-
ance, the other day I'VE don't need il
(the impossible road), and if we were
not at war with Germany we could
sell it to Won Hindenberg to serve as
model to keep the allies back when
he makes the next strategic retreat
We now learn to our horror that the
sentiment did not strike as respon-
sive chord in the human breast as we
would have wished; that one man at
least thinks we do need the road but
that it needs improvement. But
when our own idea is so thoroughly
diagramed, it is impossible not tc
give public thanks, no matter what
our private opinion may be.
