The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-02-15

The war department will at once adopt
a method of numbering soldiers, which will
take effect February %, and continue in
definitely. Each man will be given a num-
Der which he will bear until he is discharged
from the service. The numbers will begin
at number one and continue without inter
ruption in sequence. Once given a number
the means of identifying a soldier will not
be changed even though his name appears
on the muster rolls several times. Such a
method is in vogue in the British French
and German armies, and has proven sue
cessful. Hereafter the enlisted men of the
army will be known by number insofar as
the official records are concerned.
This is a practical and much-needed in
novation, and will obviate any confusion
in at once fixing the identity of soldier
killed in action, as was encountered in the
sinking of the Tuscania, when number OF
bodies washed up by the waves on the Irish
coast, bearing no means of idertity.

The Spectator
COL. REPINGTON.

a american newspapers will find it
o-iIlcui1 TO understand the action
taken by the British Chancellor
ssgalnsI Lieut.. Colonel Repington,
Ior IIteen years the military expert
on Ihe staff of the London Times.
=, mere are two distinct phases of
Cne proposition, one is the integrity
OF the censorship under the defense
OF the re*saa act, and the other is the
truth of Col. Repington's statements.
AS Tar as the first is concerned it
you'd seem that the London Post and
Gol' Rep1ngton violated the spirit of
the censorship, and the gravity of
TINS violation can be ascertained only
through an examination into the
truth OF the statements published.
american newspapers have only q
voluntary censorship, and it is to
thelr everlasting credit that they
nave been practically no violations
OF 1t: 1t is more difficult to violate
rule of procedure relying solely
upon the honor of those subject to it,
tnan to infringe laws behind which
there IS force. Voluntary submits
sion to rule is better than enforced
regulations. This government relies
on the honor of American newspa-
pers to coply with the censorship,
and the trust has not been violated.
From the very outset, however,
newspapers have asserted their in
tention of complying with the CEN
sorship. only so long as public good
demanded it, and that when national
and allied interests could be better
served by publication of facts, then
they would be published. This is no
threat, it is merely an assurance that
we are not walking in the dark.
justification of the Posts action
in publishing Col. Repington's SEN
sational article rests entirely with
the facts in the article. If they are
true, real service was done the ma
ton, and the allied cause. If they
are false, both the editor of the
Post and the author of the article
should receive the limit of punish
ment for their infraction of the CEN
sorship.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-02-15
KEEP THE FAITH

Some of the Americans now in Europe
are unintentionally hindering our team
work in food-saving by sending to this
cour y near-facts and incidents which
seen show that the allied nations are not
short of food. These stories are not in
tended TO do harm, of course, yet they filter
throughout the United States and being
taken as frst-hand information, lead to
certain sackness here in food conservation.
AS a matter of fact there is actually no
starvation in any of the allied countries,
not even Belgium People are on short ra-
tions, yet really manage to live. Even dur
ing the blacklist days in Belgium there was
not actual starvation so much as danger of
starvation.
Every one of the countries now depend
ing upon us for food are without reserve
supplies. They have ratiens for day, and
are able to fight and work, and the visitor
going about among the people would be
quite within the truth in writing home that
there was no starvation.
The ever-present danger, the supreme
peril, is that something may interrupt the
flow of food from this country. Any dis
aster to shipping would do it. Lack of CO.
operation in food saving here might do it.
If we fail in our great war responsibility,
the larder of the allies would be swept as
bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard within
two weeks. That would stop war work and
weaken the fighting forces on the Western
front.
That is the true danger, and no opti-
mistic stories from allied countries, wheth
er they come in the soldiers letter, or are
spread broadcast by journalists, must be
permitted to weaken our determination to
help the allies through the food stringency
which will be increasingly acute from now
until the end of this year
1t cannot be too strongly impressed upon
the American people that our food pro-
gram, both for the allies and ourselves, is
based upon facts planned to secure results
over a period and that it must be adhered
to both in spirit and in letter. That is the
gospel of food saving in a nut shell. So let
us keep the faith.

GOOD LUCK

The first number OF The Stars and
Stripes, the official publication of the
American expeditionary forces, has ap-
peared IN France. 1t is weekly newspa-
per, authorized by the ornmander-in-chief
and written and edited by officers and en-
listed men. All the profits of the paper will
be devoted to the benefit of the men of the
service
The newspaper has eight pages of ordi-
nary size and 1000 words of cable news
will be sent from the United States for each
issue. Besides reading matter there will
be half tones and line illustrations.
Some of the ablest and most talented
men in the world are now serving this
country on the battle line in France, and
the publication, which will be interesting
from the very nature of its contents, will
become medium for the dissemination Of
thought and the Capitalization of talent
Commensurate with their privilege in
being here" says General Pershing in his
message to the men through the editorial
staff, sis the duty which is laid before
them, and this duty will be performed by
them, as it has been by Americans of the
past, eagerly determined and unyielding to
the last. The newspaper, written by the
men of the service, should speak the
thoughts of the new American army and
the American people, from whom the army
IS drawn. 1t is your newspaper. Good
luck to it."
And the American people, as a unit, will
echo the sentiment of General Pershing,-
for something more than unique will be
this eight-page sheet published across the
sea; something more than vehicle for ex-
pressed opinion, a purveyor of news, re
cital of war activities. In its columns will
crystalize the genius of the age.
In the ranks of the American army today
are men of every calling, artists and arti-
zans side by side; financiers and dillitantes,
laborers and millionaires, tillers Of the field
and wielders of the brush and the pen.
What an opportunity for the trained news
paper man, what an inspiration for the
novice.
America will await with interest the
first installments of The Stars and Stripes
to be sent overseas, and IN the words of
General Pershing will say: Good luck to

FOR VICTORY.

Only comparatively few of the
thousands who crowded the streets
Mardi Gras to witness the patriotic
pageant witnessed one of the most
inspiring features of it.
To those who were so fortunate
this single glimpse of the spirit of
our fighting men was more impress
sive than all the elaborate symbol
ism of the floats.
As the head Of the parade swung
down the west side of Pahfox street
and turned into Garden en- the way
back to the starting point, the de-
tachments from the army navy and
marine corps burst into song, as the
band played Coward, Christian
Soldier Spectators We're too inn
pressed to cheer, but showed their
approval by joining in, and the great
volume of music swelled up from the
street and reyerberated among the
buildings.
Tired, wet to the skin, the men
had been marching over the city in
the pageant. Undaunted by incon-
venience they hearkened the entire
crowd of onlookers. That is the
spirit of Americas fighting men,
that is the spirit of victory. A ma
ton that goes to battle with a song
on, its lips cannot know defeat.

Kaiser. He has at last come to the
Allies way of thinking.
