BRITISH PEOPLE DEMAND
REPRISAIS

The people of Great Britain are de-
handing reprisals on Germany for the lat
est wanton air raid upon London. While
the British government has steadfastly
opposed reprisals and will never counte-
nance descending to such depths of brutal
ity as Germany has, it seems quite prob
able that retaliation will be made, limiting
destruction to public buildings and FORTH
fed places. 1t is hoped that a sharp lesson
OF this nature would go far to stop the
murderOus raids over English soil
Following the recent raid Hal Game
made an urgent appeal to America to speed
up the manufacture OF aircraft and the
training OF sJmen, that England may be
protected from the slaughter Of its women
and the Wilful murder of helpless children
b. towards who have drawn down the
name OF soldier to the lowest depth of in
fanny.
Germany has not departed from the pol
Ivy of ruthlessness which has shocked hui
n1anlty from the early days of the war, nor
is 1t probable that she will do so until
forced to yield by stronger arms.
The raid upon London as a display of
German military proWess was weak and
contemplate, but its purpose was not
military-its hope was to break the morale
OF the people. In this it failed absolutely
England is more angry now and more de
tcrmlned than ever to win.

QUICK ACTION NEEDED.

The school board faces serious problem
in providing quarters for the high school.
The proposal to build a temporary stree
ture on site of school No. | would have
ul4questionably have been best-if adopted
two months ago. Whether it is wise 70
attempt it now is doubtful, unless tie CON
tractor will give binding guarantee that it
will be ready for occupancy at the beg III
ming of the school term.
Much precious time was lost last year
because of delay in making repairs to No.
/ school, The board must guard against
delay this year. The high school term
must start on time Pensacola owes that
to its boys and girls.
If the plan to remodel the tabernacle
proves feasible, it seems to offer a speedy
solution. While it is a temporary struc-
ture, building construction experts state
that it is safe and will serve for several
years, and can readily be remodelled at
small expense, giving eight class rooms on
each side-sixteen in all-Wth large as
sembly hall, lighted from the roof, in the
center
1t is not a high school of which Pensa-
cola may be proud, but would serve as we'll
as any temporary structure could and has
a great advantage in that it could be ready
for occupancy when the school term
begins.
Whatever the plan, it should be definite
~ decided upon at next Mondays meeting
then carried through without delay.
Every lost day would mean a loss to the
pupils that can never be regained.

The SCRATCH PAD.
7y THOMAS SWING DAsNEY.

Crestview, July 1.-THE jury in
the Blackwell case is known as a
praying jury-there is one member
who breaches to the others. His au-
dlence, though small, is attentive; at
night generally they sing religious
songs. The trial is being held in
church building, it was opened by
prayer and the Bible is expected to
figure prominently in the argument
of counsel.

They had their first watermelon to-

among wagon loads of watermelons,
to hear the mellow turks of pros
peCtive purchasers testing the fruit,
to see hundreds of people enjoying
the luxury of this Internal shower
bath, to hear the succulent scrunch
of pigs gathering in the rinds-what
damnatiOn to hear these sounds see
these sights and be denied! And such
watermelons as Crestview does turn
out! One would think they were cast
in the mould that makes our fourteen
inch cannon. They are long
heavens, how long they are! They

look like culverts painted green. That
is the ordinary ones do; the extra
large ones look like a procession. One
man walked by me today with a
watermelon on his shoulder and it
was fifteen minutes passing, by the
clock. A bow marched in front of
him playing a harmonica and he was
oct of my hearing before I saw the
end of the mighty spectacle. The
farmer who raises the biggest of the
watermelons around here won't sell
more than five to any one person.
He's afraid, he says, somebody will
make a corner on the market and
frame the people on the price. He
has the right idea about food pirates

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON
THE CITIZENS MEETING
Editor Pensacola Journal

Editor Pensacola Journal:
In your account Of the citizens
meeting yesterday at the city hall,
the restricted district of our city,
three statements interested me very
much.
One by Jas. H. Foster of American
Social Hygiene Association: eff Pen
sacOla does not close the district one
or two things will happen, either
some outside agency, state or federal
will clean up the district or the mill
tary establishment here will be dis
tinued
The other by Commissioner Frank
Sanders: "He said if the citizens of
Pensacola want the district closed up.
it can be done and he will do it," and
also quote Mr., Foster thus. He then
discussed the political aspect of the
situation and said~,the district not
only breeds vice and disease. but
usually breeds political corruption
for the houses are operated in open
violation of city and state laws"
There you are in a nut she'll; the
evil exists, breeds vice and disease,
operated contrary to law, army and
navy dead against it and may act
1t can be stopped and will be, if the
people want it. I am glad Com. San
ders made that statement, it smacks
right to me. The responsibility rest
nov, with the citizens of Pensacola.
| Surely there is enough citizenship,
men of courage and backbone here, in
this hour of need to purge our city Of
| an unholy, adulterous generates
plague like our segregated district.
! But the evil ext tssthat we know.
| Pensacola restricts this unholy traffic
| in virtue to a certain district and
many we'll meaning people, | take 1t,
think it the best way.
Regulate it. think of it. Tell me,
can you protect and regulate COM
mercialized vice? That deals in the
virtue and Souls of the womanhood
of our countrx2 life Of short dura-
ton, full of remorse, suffering and
sin. No hope beyond. Tell me, the
| city that does it, is it not a cO-part-
ner in the business? Tell me, will
these regulators of this unholy traffic
! in bodies and souls be willing to saCri-
| fee at lease one relative upon this
alter of lust? Many a faithful father
and mother are doing It every day,
Pensacola is furnishing one of these
alters. Thou shalt not commit adul-
terry" When God said that he stated
a law that is fundamental in your
! life and mine and all mankind. It's as
lasting and enduring as the ages.
God said it and that enough for
me Now listen. When men take
God Almightv's "Thou shall nots"
and reduce them to ways and means
to regulating sin in any city and
where especially in this time of our
nations troubles, it seems to me it
carries an element of suspicion with
it. Call it personal profit, self in
diligence or political gratis or what
you will-it's not the milk of human
kindness to the fallen, of that, I'm
sure, else the alter of lust would not
remain.
