REGISTER KICKS ON
RAILWAY SCHEDULE

Considerable dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed by Pensacolians who, recent
ly returning from a trip, were COM
PEELED to stop over at Montgomery
for from six to eight hours, and
finally, when they reached Fiona
ton, having their sleeper sandwiched
in between cars Of reight, which
bumped so alarmingly that sleep, or
even comfort, it was claimed, was out
Of the question.
One of those who lately expert
enced these conditionos was R. R. Jen-
nings, general secretary of the Pen
sacola Y. M. G. A, who is just back
from Birmingham. Mr.. Jennings
stated that a delay at Montgomery
was not unexpected, and that waiting
there was perhaps a bit more pre-
ferable than having to wait at Flo
maton, but when it was noted that the
New Orleans car was picked up and
taken south, leaving the one which
had passengers for Pensacola and
Mobile behind, he thought it not fair.
and also was Of the opinion that if
such conditions were permitted to go
unchallenged, it would at length hurt
Pensacola, to the advantage of New
Orleans.
Mr.. Jennings thought it was good
idea for this thing to be brought to
the attention of the proper bodies,
and that remedy applied if possible,
before the active tourists season SGT
in. He will probably later appear be-
fore the Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce and lay before that body some
sidelights on his very interesting ex-
periences on a trip from Birmingham
to Pensacola.

GERMANS CAN'T BE STARVED.
Hoover Says They Can Live Two
Years in Plenty

NEW YORK, May The Germans
can't hc starved out
The food needs of our allies in Flu
rope require the supreme effort of the
United states.
These are the messages taken TO
President Wilson by Herbert c. Hoo
yer. who will be the United States food
commissioner during the war.
There is only one chance OF the
German people or any of the Kaiser :
army starving. he said. THAT is 4
bad crop. If the crops are normal they
can keep ou going. The last reports /
had from Germany before | lett Eu-
rope were that the cattle supply was
practically intact. BY that / mean
that for year or more tine Germans
have been using only the surplus Of the
herd, keeping the base Of the herd in
tact.
"If the Germans went right ahead
land ate nj the dictates OF appetite. SO
To- speak, of what they have. the present
food supply wonld last two years. It
is not 10 bc supposed the Germans are
going to do that. .rI
Mr. Hoover does not believe the war
will end for many months.
IF the IIohcnzollens and the mill
tarisf government are to be destroyed
and nothing short of the destruction
of these mad dogs will give hope of
rueman W, 4!S9e ct lse var m9,lsSt, 20 on
~ least q year more, or probably TWO
years. The American people should be
under no illusion that forces making FOR
popular government in Germany have
ms vet any inconsequental weight, al
though they show occasional sparks OF
growing light.
ID" From q purely military view the
| Central Powers have a greater man
bower and armament than hitherto
and this. together with interior lines
| enables them to pat Il steady resistance
to the continually growing strength OF
| the allies. We must continue to pre-
| parc to strengthen the mau-power OF
our allies. to furnish money and to de
vote every ounce Of energy to Offset
| ting the los, of ships. There is no us'
| Disgusting the fact that the food pro
| ductiou of our allies is also like that
! Of our enemies, decreasing from simila
/ causes. The 1917 harvest of France
Of England and Of ltale will he tn,
! lowest i'm recent history.

of West Virginia and of the grand
lodge of the Pythian Sisters joined in
paying honor to their oldest and most
distinguished member. DR.. Gerhardt
was present upon the occasion, and all
were impressed by his mental and
physical vigor. DIR. Gerhardt had
been buoyed for several years by the
hope that he would live to celebrate
the century mark, and this hope being
realized, his interest in life waned,
and he grew tired with the WEAKNESS
of one who had lived and labored far
beyond the allotted time of man.
