section II Of the sefective draft act.

District Attorney Medley was of the
opinion that the woman should be

LIBERTY INN IS
hPOPULAR RESORT

or the many pleasure resorts in ana
around Pensacola, there are perhaps
none that enjoy a wider popularity
than the Liberty Inn. Its location, on
Bayou Chico, just off the bay, and mid
way between the city and the reserva-
ton, places it in an ideal position as
meeting place, an intermingling OF
people in the government service with
that of civilian classes from the city.
The regular Tuesday and Friday night
dances are proving popular features OF
entertainment, and the dance of this
evening promises to eclipse them all.
Exceptional good music has been ar
ranged for, and with the warm weather
which invite gulf breezes at present, it
is expected that the attendance will be
unusually large.

TWELVE CASES OF
INFLUENZA REPORTED

Twelve cases Of Spanish Influenza
have been reported to DR.. Shannon,
city physician. all except one not be-
ing considered serious. The one ex-
.ception is at the hospital.
Bemidji Is, however. fortunate IN
this epidemic. Common sense il
needed, says DR.. Shannon, as a pre-
Yentative.of serious results. He says
the patient should go to bed at the
first symptoms Of feeling 'grippy
and pursue the same course as for
grippe. Four or five days should be
spent In bed and care should be ex-
ercises Immediately thereafter.
The first "a hours should be watch
ed carefully. The patient is inclined
to perspire freely and many expose
themselves when weak from the more
serious period and then pneumonia
makes its appearance.

London, Sept 81. (By Mail. -
Boastfulness and lack of understanding
are responsible for the failure OF Ger.
many's huge propaganda efforts.
After 40 years Of experience in
this work, Germany can show but
little fruits for its labor.
On the other hand, America, with a
record of less than years, can credit
itself with being the most successful
Of all the belligerents in spreading
propaganda.
Col. John Buchan, Director Of In
telligence Of the British Ministry Of
information, today said the German
propaganda Is con the whole ineffec-
tive" and declared that when his
tory comes to decide which country
was the most successful in its propa-
ganda campaign, it won't be Ger
many-it will be America.
eve here have had occasion TO
study the extraordinary merits Of the
German machine which Germans mad
been building for forty years, said
Col. Buchan. On the whole its
product has been rather Ineffective
because Of it's lack Of psychological
acumen.
"The Hun boasts too much and
underestimate the peoples against
whom his campaign is directed-as,
for instance, America.
He makes queer slips. AN
At the beginning OF the war the
Kaiser sent an address to the Moham-
medan chiefs Of India, in which he
pointed out that he the kaiser was
their real friend. The address was
deliberately gotten up engrossed on
the finest vellum. But it was bound
in pigskin.
Here was an instance Of the Huns
tendency to overlook important de
tails, for the pig is an animal the
Mohammedans regard with horror.
Huns Waste Their Cash.
1.-THE propaganda scheme of the
Germans was most elaborate, but ii
has been overdone. They have spent
at least STE, 100000 annually since
the war began, some Of which went
to produce most absurd publications.
Also, they printed too many. The
scheme might be described as
'kolossaP but stupid.
American propaganda has been
conducted with a rare instinct for
publicity. Al
"Take the American Red Cross in
Italy, France and Russia, as well as
the work Of the X. M. C. A. This
was practical propaganda. In tend
! ing the sick and wounded the Ameri-
can Red Cross proved Americas
sympathy to the allies.

American secret service is fine

which were published at exactly the
right time. ss

"A war of nations can't be an

on July 18th told of the organization
Of the American army and gave the

That's common sense.
aAmerica has just established
propaganda agencies in all allied and
neutral countries. Their policy is
same as in America. There is no
jealousy. They put all their interests

Col. Buchan is reluctant to boast
