John A. Merritt Tells Ro-
tarians How Pensacola Is
Regarded at Washington.
SAYS BUSINESS
MEN AT FAULT
Place in Danger of Losing
Export Business, Which
May Come to Gulf Ports.

| That Pensacola's deep water harbor,
splendid climate and other natural
advantages are not more effectively
serving the war needs of the govern
ment Is the fault OF Pensacoia,x bust
ness men, said Capt. John A Merritt
at yesterdays Rotary Club luncheon
Capt. Merritt has just returned frsm
washington and New York where no
went to urge more excessive use Of
our excellent shipping facilities. He
said the future OF Pensacola an a port
OF embarkation rests entirely with
three men, that they are scarcely con-
sidering this city In their plans. Ons
CT the principals told Capt. Merritt
that his experience with the L. IN
railroad has been such thar he could
not feel an interest In a port reached
chiefly by that road, and It transpired
that there was danger OF Pensacola
losing the shipping schedule for this
point.
Reference was nsde to n memcr-
andum prepared by Thomas A. Edi-
son on Gulf coast conditions and IA
cilities. The report went into detail
regarding Mobile and other gulf ports,
stating the price at which bunker coal
could be obtained at Mobile and the
facilities for loading there. but no
references was made 70 Pensacola,
while as a matter OF fact bunker coal
is cheaper here than at Mobile and can
be loaded more quickly and advant-
sgeously than at any other point on
the gulf cost
Capt Merritt told the Rotarfans that
IL is their civic as well as their na
and individually in giving Pensacola
a.
hour OF the nations need He made
it clear that the men I'm authority have
no prejudice against this port. but are
which has geen placed before them
That cur advantages and facilities
lave not been properly presented Is
our fault and not theirs.
Following an impressive di.cussio4
of the seriousness OF the food. labor
and shipping situation, Capt. Merritt
Urged every Rotarians not only TO DO
his bit but TO do his best In pushing
Pensacola TO the front.

me a Lewis gun. Believe me. it's a
whale of a gun.
Most persons think the real Ell
cheney of machine gun is measured
by its ability to shoot fast. But as a
matter of absolute fact the machine
gun is rarely, IL ever, fired in bursts
Of more than 90 shets and at rate
of speed of about 400 a minute. tt
seems cold to say it, but IL machine
gun is speeded up much beyond this
figure il is considered a waste OF am
munition-because the living targets
will then receive about eight bullets
before he falls from the deadly effect
of the first one"
