CURRENT COMMENT
Utilizing Resources.

Frankly, we are greatly pleased ovei
the announcement that the president has
called a conference of both Republican
and Democratic leaders in Congress for
a discussion of war policies at the White
House.
1t is true enough that the occasion
for this act is the presidents desire to
press his proposed legislation looking Ia
| the large extension of his powers-legis-
| lation which he offers in place of the
war cabinet and munitions department
bills. But we refuse to see in this con
sideration a fly in the ointment. The
president might have gone ahead stub
bornly, rounded up his partisan hench-
| men, and forced his legislation through
Congress as a personal and party meas
ure. He has chosen the other and the
better course. and his choice is both
good and a hopeful one.
1t a. also true that this is the first
time that Republicans have been adj
mitted to the inner council Of presidential
advisers. So much the better, 1t Is
an indication of the breaking down of
the notion that this can be made party
war, that there is a first time.
In short, we decline to have one peev-
ish. hypercritieal feeling on the subject.
The decision is a good, sound, whole
some one.
Nor is the pleasure we have in this
act the childish glee over recognition.
That is impossible because there has
been an utter absence of the opposite
feeling of dissatisfaction with non-recog-
milton. OF course, we have felt keenly
the narrow eXelusiveness that barred
from larger usefulness a great number
of men of larger capacity for sound
thinking and effective work, simply be-
cause they happened to be in a theoreti
cally opposition party. But this was,
not feeling OF chagrin, or angry re-
sentiment. II was that of disappoint- |
ment that the president could not see
where his and our true interest lay
in the direction of complete mobiliza- |
ton of our brain power, irrespective of |
party alignment Now that the barri- |
ers are beginning to crumble, we are glad |
because there is prospect of just this /
desirable mobilization.
Not that the Republican congressman
have not faithfully supported the gov

For itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blernishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo Is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean. easy to use and
dependable. IL costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.O0. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

MR.. BROWN ORGANIZING
Y M C. A. WORK IN IRELAND.

Pensioners and friends of the Rev
John H. Brown, rector of Christ
church, will learn with interest that
he has recently been sent to Ireland,
where he is organizing Y. M. c. A.
work In Londonderry. Mr.. Brown, who
went to England as Y. M. G. A.
worker with the American forces. had
expected to be transferred to France,
for which service he had signed with
the government, but I'm recent letters
received from him, 1t seems that the
need in Ireland at this time was found
to be so great that he was detailed to
work there. first going to Cork, ana
from there to Londonderry, where he
is supervising the erection of Z. NJ.
C. A. hut and is in charge of other Y.
NJ C. A. activities.
So far, no Y. NJ. c. A. work has been
undertaken IN Ireland, and in view OF
the situation there, the need is very
urgent.
Advfces from Mr.. Brown to friends
here state that he has met a number
of young men in different branches OF
the service whom he had known before
leaving Pensacola, the meetings being
mutually pleasant.

discussed from every angle, and when
seen at the San Carlos yesterday, in
speaking of the message which she
will give to Pensacola this afternoon,
she said:

that We women have TO meet. The

age. From the experience she has
