r.. H. King sent the following wire
to Captain l. II. Aiken last night: "We
have every confidence in Pensacola
Confident no community appreciates

Mr.. Aiken said last night that the
direct reference to the boys indicated
that this community and the work it
is to do is being watched closely, mas
much as it is realized elsewhere that
no other community in the country
has greater cause to help in the drive
than Pensacola, where so many of the
men have been stationed during the
war, and who are largely responsible
for the prosperity that we enjoy.
