Notes and Comments.

It IS absolutely necessary for
me to repeat from time to time a
good many things that I say, in
order to emphasize them. One
light tap on the head won't kill a
bear. It takes hard licks and Of
ten repeated. 1t is the same way
with getting the truth into the
noggin of the average person.
Once more let me remind you
that the things you lock ahead to
are never like you think they are
going to be. You can read a de-
scription of a place you have
never seen, and you think you
know just how it looks. But when
you really see the place with your
own eyes it will hardly resemble
the mental picture you had form
ed of it. And that is just the way
it will be with the future events
that the Bible tells about. They
will be so different from the COM
me n conception Of them that they
will scarcely be recognized when
they come. The Last Trumpet,
the il dgment Bay, and all these
things, will probably be nearly
over before the people realize
what is happening.

You can just depend on it that
this Great War will end exactly
like it OUGHT to end. And since
it is a clear case that Germany
is in the wrong and OUGHT to be

BRITISH WAR HERO,
LIEUT.. +. ]. bLDUNT,
is 1T M'PHEAs 0 \

Many friends Of Lieut.. Freddie
Blount of this city, will be pleased to
learn that he has been stationed as in
tructor at Camp Mcpherson, near At
lanta, having been assigned to this Inn
portant duty after returning from his
experiences In Europe. An Atlanta
newspaper found the Pensacola youth
some time since and also found him
in talking mood, and in a recent is
sue. the Constitution printed the fol-
lowing of the wel1-known young SOL
der:
Lieutenant 6Iount's Record.
After three and half years spent in
battle, Fort MCPHERSON, though q very
busy place to the ordinary civilian,
seems most quiet and most restful to
Lieut.. r. J. Blount, of the United
States army, who IL there to recover
from the effects of his service at the
front, where he was wounded twice.
Lieutenant B1ount enlisted almost
four years ago at the outbreak Of the
war, in the British army. He was with
the troops In France in the early days
of the war; he was in Egypt; ne was
present at the siege Of Saioniki and
spent some time with the forces in
Macedonia.
When the revolution broke out in
Ireland Lieutenant Blount, who was
Captain Blount in the British army,
was ordered there with his company,
and when America entered the war,
Captain Blount started negotiations
for transfer to the American forces.
Last October he received his transfer
with a commission as first lieutenant
and after spending some time in Paris
in the photography department, w4s
assigned to the aviation training field
in France.
Before this the lieutenant, while In
the British army, had been awarded
the French military medal. the French
war cross and the White Eagle OF Ser
bia, and now had the added honor of
wearing the double silver wings Of the
American fighting pilot.
1t is a change from the fields and
trenches of France with her war hor-
rors to the peace and serenity of Fort
McPherson--for few days OF welcome
change.
But Lieutenant Blount, hero OF al
most four years service, wearer of
three medals, is not satisfied to rest,
but is waiting patiently for the day to
come when he will be able and may
return "over there" to help once more
the great war to crush the Hun.

vices were called on, the response was

CAMP MEADE. Nd. March 1e.-
"Dear Bill: Last September / divorced
you and married Jim"
This was the wording OF letter a
non-commissioned officer here re-
ceived a few days ago from the
woman he left behind as his wife.
He was in Y. NJ C. A. building at the
time he opened his letter. He jumped
and whistled.
How about that s15?" was the
question he asked as he figured out
the amount OF his allotments, taken
off his monthly pay because he "ad-
mitted" that he had left behind q wife.
When the army called him he said
lie went to camp very cheerfully be-
cause his wife had already deserted
and gone off with another man, and
so he was glad enough to close up
shop. When the question OF allot-
ment was put up to him he had to
confess that he had q wife, and this
cost him $15 a month.
What the soldier and officers, too.
are puzzled about now Is the Sl5 a
month which Uncle Sam has been Civ
ing to the wife. The soldier IL making
no effort to get back the wife. be-
cause he expects to go to France soon
with his regiment. but in the mean
while he Is perplexed about the good
money he and tho United States Gov

STORM OVER GIRLS
TAKING WATERS
PLACESAT CLUBS

NEW YORK, March 1e.-Mrs. c. H.
P. Belmont is to be asked to settle
a burning question of social decorum
which is agitating labor circles. 1t is
this:
Should girl walters be employed in
mems clubs?
y. J. FIaherty, leader OF the strik-
ing club walters whose places have
been taken by fair strikebrakers, said
he would ask Mrs. Belmont to use her
influence to call off the mattresses.
Meanwhile forty of them quit work
their frst day OF employment, when
they had found to their dismay that
tips were prohibited in clubs. Re
cruited chiefly from a white-tiled em-
porium where an occasional nickel is
slipped by departing customer
under a crumpled paper napkin, they
could not reconcile themselves to
tipless servitude.
1t was announced that the consum-
ers' League had taken up the Ques-
tion of mattresses in mems clubs.
Flaherty said II they and the Woman
Suffrage leaders could not persuade
the girls to desist, the young women
would be appealed to join the ranks
OF the strikers. He added:
I'VE will test the legality of en-
ploying girls where drinks are served.
II It is decided right and proper for
Mattresses to work in clubs, the men
will insist on their getting equal pay
with themselves"
The State Mediators, who have sue
ceeded in delaying the spread OF the
strike to the fashionable clubs up
town. may arrange settlement con-
ference.

himself in his room, drama a dose of
poison and then shot himself through

When the physician who was sum-
moned entered the house through a
window he found the dead mans
clothing ablaze. so close had he held
the pistol to his chest. Grief over the
loss OF HIS wife, coupled with worry
over reports that some of her people
had unjustly accused him OF being I'm
plicated in her death. is believed to
have caused the tragedy.

De-. MOVIE MAN
TO TEACH REEL
WORK IN FRANCE

CAMP MEADE. Md, March 10
n. P. Morehead. former owner OF
moving picture theaters in Washing
ton and Baltimore, who has conduct
ed a class alta Y. NJ. c. A. building
in the operation OF a moving picture
machine. win go TO France as a ''Y''
secretary to continue over there vo-
cationRl training as a form of pas
time for the men who are near the
front. He has found so many SOL
diers hare eager to learn new vo-
cation that he thinks class work will
appeal to them over there, too.
His idea is that men find enjoy
ment in doing some Thing even on the
eve of battle that will be beneficial
to them when they come back. He
has found many here who took to
the moving picture job as something
that they might be able to do even
IL they are injured in way that
will interfere with resumption Of
their former employment. The growth
OF his classes has confirmed him in
his theory, and he hopes to see the
Y. N. c. A. offer not only lectures.
but practical lessons along vocational
lines. He has found many men who
are eager TO go over and do their
Dill ana VINO are interested also III
learning something that will be OF
permanent benefit to them after the
war has been won.
Mr.. Morehead has been in the busi-
ness OF amusing crowds. but he is OF
the opinion that often soldiers do
not want amusement so much as in
struction. He has found soldiers
more eager to learn about a moving
picture machine than 70 see the pic
ture.
What he says Is certainly true OF
the men who are going to war in
"tanks." They cannot get enough
literature on that subject. Nobody
here would appreciate scientific and
semi-scientific reports on tanks"
more than the men OF the Sixty-fifth
Tank Unit. They have worn out
scraps and clippings from Magazines
and yearn for heavier stuff, real
technical books on engines and on
every phase of the subject. The
American Library Association is try
ing to meet the situation, but as for
tanks" has only a book so super
ficial that the librarian never hands
1t out without an apology.
