The Easiest Way
To End DandruE

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete and
that is to dissolve It. This destroys It
entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply 1t at night when rstir.
ing; use enough TO moisten the scalp
and rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning most, II not all, Of your
dandrun will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of 1t, no matter
how much dandrun you may have.
You will md, too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop In
stantly, and your hair will be duffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-AdYt

DES TROYERs
Naval Expert Says Patrol of
Vast Coastline Is. Seri-
Gus Problem.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Washington. Feb. Germany
unleashing her submarine cruisers in
relentless war against trade between
America and the allied nations puts
Uncle Sam face to face with the most
serious and delicate naval problem In
his history!
Just as Uncle Sam has had to pa
troll the Mexican border, he would
have to guard his entire Atlantic
coast against violation of neutrality.
It would be up to our sea fighters
to patrol more than 5000 miles of
territorial waters. Their duty would
not only be to protect our rights, but
to rescue hundreds of passengers left
in open boats.
How could our navy deal with this
situation? Would we be able to say
to the European fleets, "Keep off"
and back up the order with patrol
ing fleet strong enough and fast
enough to compel them to respect our
word?
With the allied fleet the problem
would not be so difficult. The ships
now patroling the Atlantic lanes are
mostly fast cruisers. Neither Eng
land nor France would send over
submarines TO combat Germany's I'M
derwater vessels; for submarines
cannot cope with their own kind.
But the problem of preserving
our neutrality against a submarine
SQUADRON is one hundred times more
complicated. Every nook and Granny
of the coast would have to be
watched to prevent raiders from es-
tablishing bases on our shores and
finding refuge in our harbors.
Only the swiftest of destroyers and
light cruisers could attempt this
work. OF fast cruisers we have SC
few they hardly enter into the prop
osition. Therefore we should have
to depend almost wholly on destroy
ers.
We have in service about 90 %
these craft speedy enough to De o.

After delay of a couple of days,
the American schooner Frontenac,
bound for Civita Vecchia, Italy, was
towed to the gulf yesterday after
noon, and with the American flag
spread in bright colors over her
sides, the familiar vessel left for the
war zone. A cargo of more than a
million superficial feet of lumber lie
on the schooner, and this is fully COW
cred by insurance.
Great Importance is attached TO the
sailing of the vessel as it is express
violation Of the provisions laid down
by Germany in the declaration for
unrestricted naval warfare, and the
Frontenac is one of the few Amer
lean vessels sailing since the declar-
alton was issued.

Destroyer Here to Examine
Men for Enlistment
in the Navy.

Enlistments in the United States
navy may be made here aboard the
DESTROYER Rowan, which is now tied
up at the west side Of Commandments
wharf, notice to this effect having
been posted yesterday in the corridor
of the postoffice.
Recruiting officers are ON board
the Rowan, and as much Importance
is attached to an applicant for enlist
hnent there as may surround like pro-
ceeding aboard the largest battle
ships. Of course accepted naval APP
plicants VIII probably be sent to
training stations elsewhere, for that
is the custom, it is explained, in the
case of recruits.
A number of young Pensacolians
who lately enlisted in the navy were
sent to Norfolk. Some Of them were
on coastwise ships, until they get
accustomed to the sea, after which
they are stationed on ships in ipmed-
late need of men.
It is stated that young men have
now an excellent chance of being de-
tailed to some Of the larger ships,
thus lessening the probability Of
spending weeks at land training sta
tons.

WAR FEVER IS
STRONG HERE
Spanish War Days Recalled
by Manifestations Of
Patriotism.

Pensacola thought war, talked war,
looked war. Not since the days of '98
has popular opinion been so aroused,
or SO unanimous. "When are you
going to enlist?" substituted the us
ual greetings when men met. Groups
of men congregated in banks, stores,
restaurants, discussing the latest de-
velopments.
The Ladies', Too.
The women were just as interested.
Shortly after The Journal appeared
yesterday morning, containing the
forecast of the international break,
The Journals phones began to ring.
Had the break yet occurred? Yes,
went back the answer, at a little
after nine, when the bulletin reach
ed here, telling that President VIII
son had severed relations and was
going to present the case to congress
at two o'clock that afternoon. Did g
break mean war? Not necessarily
not unless Germany put into execu-
tion its threat to sink American ships
Had Germany sank an American
ship?
Yes, went back the answer, for al
PIP p. m, at the very moment that
President Wilson was saying; 81 re.
fuse to believe that it is the intention
of the German authorities to do. IL
fact, what they have warned the Uni
ted States they will deliberately do
the Associated Press was putting the
bulletin on the wires that the Housa-
tonic, American oil steamer, had beer
sunk-probably without warning.
Many different comments were
made, many c1gar-counter STRAIT,
egists mapped out the complete nava
and military campaigns, many inter
pretations of international law were
given, but all agreed as to the neces
sity Of war, and the war in this sense
is popular one.
Recruiting signs at the postoffict
attracted more attention, announce
ment was made of company of Pen
sacolians to be former, young ant
old talked enlistment, the ladies mad'
Red Cross plans, the sailors from tn
fleet made no secret that they wer
ready at the drop of the hat, or soon

ing faces, for the suspense is over.

The Presidents Speech.
e president spoke as follows:

The president spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the congress:
"The Imperial German government
on the thirty-first of January an
nounced to this government and to
the governments of the other neutral
nations that on and after the first
day of February, the present month,
it would adopt policy with regard
to the use of submarines against all
shipping, seeking to pass through
certain designated areas of the high
seas to which it is clearly my duty
to call your attention.
''Let me remind the congress on
the eighth of April last in view of
the sinking on the twenty-fourth Of
March of the cross channel passen-
ger steamer Sussex by a German
submarine, without summons or
warning and the consequent loss Of
the lives Of several citizens of the
United States who were passengers
aboard her this government adj
dressed a note to the Imperial Ger
man government, in which It made
the following declaration:
IF it is still the purpose of the
Imperial government to prosecute
relentless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use of submarines without regard to
what the government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of international
law and the universally recognized
dictates of humanity, the govern
ment of the United States is at last
forced to the conclusion that there is
but one course it can pursue. I'm
less the Imperial government should
now Immediately declare and effect
an abandonment of its present meth
DDS of submarine warfare against
passenger and freight carrying YES
