Pensacola fairly bulged with its
weekend crowds Saturday and sun
day Early Saturday morning the ho-
tells began turning crowds away and
from practically every rooming place
in town the s. r. o. sign might easily
have been hung out.
Up and down the city streets the sail
or population, the soldiery, the avia-
tors, the citizenry and the strangers
within the gates thronged from Satur-
day until late Sunday night.
Bay View and Liberty Inn came very
near breaking the record in the point
of attendance and theatres were crowd
ed to the door with all Pensacola off
on a holiday.
stream of white and blue uniform
ed iackies olive-drab aviators and
khaki-clad artfllerymen kept the Army
and Navy Club alert TO its possibilities
all day Saturday and Sunday. The
reading tables were in demand, but
writing letters home or to the best
girl back somewhere seemed to be the
favorite pastime. Secretary Lee Could
ing estimates that at least 1900 epis-
ties of good cheer went out from the
clubhouse from the tune he opened
for business Saturday morning until
he closed Sunday night. Ladies In
the cafeteria We're kept constantly on
the jump to meet the varying orders Of
ham and eggs and ice cream, favorites
of a summer day.
Enlisted men, making ready the
branch aviation station at Magnolia
1uff are bookless during their leisure
hours and good swims and good chow
cannot compensate for the lack of good
reading matter.
Pensacola people are asked TO con-
tribute this reading matter to the de-
tenders OF the nation. Back files of the
current magazines for the last two or
three months are badly wanted Con-
secutive numbers will allow the men
to read the serials and offer wholesome
amusement when not on duty. Books
also will find a ready welcome. These
may be distributed through the Army
and Navy Club or the War Camp Com
munity Service.
Another call is made for sheet music
and Nictrola records at the Army and
Navy Club.

WISH TO OFFSET IMPRESSION BE-

ED BY STATEMENT OF SIR ED
WARD CARSON

London. Aug 25.-At the request OF
John Dillon, chairman of the irish
nationalist party, It. P. O'Connor has
sent to America reply to the recent
address forwarded to President VIII
son by Sir Edward Carson, Ulster
leader and head of war aims COM
mittee.
Having traversed some of the his
torical statements in the Carson adj
dress, O'Connor complains that while
mentioning the alleged Sim Fein pro-
German plots, Sir Edward omits to
mention that he and his associates be-
fore the war in speeches and news
papers declared they would prefer
kaiser's rule to home rule and that
he and his friends We're supplied from
Germany with $4,000 rifles, which
'they still hold for the purpose, now
as before the war, of making war
upon an act OF the British parlia-
ment"
O'Connor further charges that Car
sons rebel movements precipitated the
war by creating in the German mind
the miscalculation that England was
too embarrassed by the Ulster re-
bellion to enter the war.
