THE GREAT ISSUE.

August first will see everybody at work. VINO
can work. according to Walter A. Dopson, fed
eral director of the United States Employment
Service United States Department of Labor. who
was in Pensacola yesterday on official business.
A meeting has been called, to take place IN
Jacksonville, July IL, when the labor superin-
tendent Of the government for the sixth district
will discuss the matter of labor employment
with the governor and all members of the vari-
Gus chambers of commerce of the cities of
Florida.
Every city in the state is expected to send
representatives to the meeting, to talk over the
labor situation now one of the most vital issues
before the country.
Labor Is the great issue of the war; Upon
the laboring man, to great extent, depends the
failure of victory for the democracy in the great
world war, waging.
The loyalty of labor in the United States has
been proven again and again, in response to the
Liberty Loan, to the Red Cross, to every pa
triotic movement which has been launched.
But more than money, more than anything
else, labor is needed to carry to victory the
American flag.
The government must have labor. 1t means
the winning of the war. Man power must be
modified and distributed, and its maximum
pacity and efficiency must be utilized.
Mr.. Dopson spoke highly of the spirit of the
laboring man in Pensacola. While here he met
a number of employers of labor, and many
laboring men, and expressed himself as much
pleased with the spirit of cooperation mani
tested
One thing the government is making very
clear, and that is that everybody must work, in
some way, to help win victory for America and
her allies.
The meeting which will be held in Jackson
vile will bring together men from all the COM
mercial bodies of the sixth United States dis
trict, will offer means of coming to a better
understanding of the situation, and will promote
more cooperative spirit among the men of the
state, both employers and employees.

ROMANCE OF Wan.

The wartime has restored some of the oldtime
romance to the business of news gathering from
places that Americans might regard as the far
ends of the world. When the American settles
down to read his morning paper and lets his eye
run casually down the columns over date lines
of the far corners of the world, he does not
always realize what effort it often costs to
lay before him the news of those far places.
Take some of the Associated Press dispatches
from Jassey, the capital of Roumania for an ex-
ample. When the BoIsheviki turned things
topsy-turvy in Russia and King Ferdinand's
country was left alone on the eastern front to
face the hordes of Germany and Austria, Rou-
mania quarreling with the Bolsheviki over
on the Roumanian front. There were serious
possibilities for Roumania in the situation.
There was Associated Press correspondent
in Jassy, but the only way of getting. news out
was by way of Odessa, where the Bolsheviki
held sway. Communication by wire with
Odessa was impossible and no trains were run
ming and bridges were DESTROYED.
The Roumanian government was sending Colo
mel Joseph Boyle, formerly of the Canadian
army from Jassy to Odessa in an airplane with
peace treaty and when Colonel Boyle flew 200
miles over the mountains, he carried not only the
treaty but dispatches from the Associated Press
correspondent for forwarding to the United
States.
This is how some of the news started on its
way from Jassy, through Russia, Finland and
Sweden to London, and finally reached America

THE EXTRA CANToNMENT ZONE.

THE EXTRA CANTONMENT ZONE.
The proposal which Assistant State Health
01acer DR.. r. L. Tatom, Capt. r. c. Devereaaux
assistant surgeon, United States Public Health
Service, and the chamber Of commerce will pre-
sent tc the city commissioners this afternoon is
vital TO the welfare Of Pensacola.
Brieay stated, the proposal is that if Pensa-
cola win show reasonable spirit of cooperation
and win provide small portion of the needed
funds, the federal government will establish an
Extra Cantonment Zone here and will assign to
this city corps of sanitary experts who will de-
vote themselves to the correction of all condi-
HOns inimical to the health of the community.
This service which the government is urging
as to accept is the most valuable of all services
which the government is rendering. 1t will en-
tirely eliminate danger of epidemics of typhoid
and other intestinal diseases and will greatly re-
duce If not entirely stamp out other commu-
nicable diseases which are now a menace to the
city.
Typhoid is now prevalent here-just as it is
elsewhere-it is folly to deny it. Instead it
would be much better to meet the condition
Pensacola now has an important future before
ft-whether it can realize fully upon its great
opportunities depends largely upon it's health
record.
The government is said to be considering this
port for extensive activities in connection with
the war-our health record will be a deciding
factor.
IL we have clean bill of health-if we do our
part toward protecting the men sent here it is
very certain that the government will spend vast
sums Of money in and around Pensacola which
otherwise must go elsewhere. AS an economic
measme-as dollars and cents proposition
Pensacola cannot afford to let this opportunity
pass. And there is another side to it-every
resident of this city who is worthy the name
cola to be not only the healthiest city of this
section but of the entire South.
Pensacola is the only city offered this govern
ment aid that has hesitated to accept it. Pensa-
cola is the only city where military forces are
stationed that has not already undertaken the
work.
We al know that the city is short of funds,
purse TO make the small appropriation necessary
to start the work. but it is our patriotic duty
civic and national-to provide the necessary
money. The nation needs our splendid natural
advantages to aid in the winning of the war
as stations for its fighting men, for the ship
ment Of supplies and for the building of ships
We must assist in making our facilities avail
able by making Pensacola disease free for the
thousands of men whom the government wish
to station here. To do less would be to fall short
of our duty.
Pensacola has hesitated to undertake this inn
portant work of sanitation, not through indif
ference or lack of interest, but because we have
failed to grasp its full significance, have failec
to realize its need. DR.. Tatom and DIR. Devereauz
have investigated conditions here. They say
that an intensive campaign is needed at once

Nevertheless, much of the charm that

same immersion in glorious, Wild scenery:
the same thrill of excitement as you spin

chaos the status of Turkestan is doubtful,
but it is more than likely that this region
not only will split definitely from its nse-
cure incorporation with Russia, but will
fall a prey to German and Turkish amD1-
ton. Comparatively small railway enter
prise would be necessary to extend THIS
ready made route into the heart OF Dotn
Persia and Afghanistan, to end in thrust
at the rich empire lying to the south of the
HimaIayas.
From Baku there is direct rail connec-
ton with Southern Russia, which now lies
in German hands. Only small section of
road skirting the southern shore of the
Caspian would be necessary to link Ham

WTHY must a golf ball be rough in

The answer is that the golf ball cannot
fly we'll unless it has tail, says The
Scientific Americana:
"The golf ball leaves the face OF the

Ethics
and
Faith
Trench Thoughts

OOME interesting views OF men in
- the trenches regarding religion are
given by Principal d. L. Richie,
D. D., in 1.-The Congregationa,ist and
Advance:
"The battlefront in a powerfully cumu-
lative way shows how elemental prayer is
in the heart of man. 1t is the homing in
stinct OF the soul. How often one has heard
the confession, We all pray in the trenches
So that the question is, indeed not Why
should man pray? but Why does man
pray?' In the depths and in the heights
mans heart seeks God he needs TO be
taught to walk with Him along the fats of
the common day. The soldier does not carry
his heart On his sleeve even at the front,
but with frankness unknown n civil life
he opens up to such ring true to him.
Then one learns that many mems lives have
been a laundering quest for God.
They do not need TO be made religious
but they do need the instruction and the
inspiration of the enlightened religious life.
The churches are not half alive to that SIM
pie fact. The men have missed in the
churches the brotherhood, simple, warm,
human, they have found in camps and scenes
Of CHASTITY peril, and many have left the
churches; but the front has again shown
that man is lncurably religious and that
prayer is to his spirit what breathing is to
his body
"The war il relation to Christianity
troubles the minds of many soldiers. and
in the face of some of their questions il is
not always easy to justify the ways of God
to men,. But most OF them soon come to
see that men cannot in mans measure be
free and self determining withou having
to meet the issues of his own choices and
conduct alike in the individual and mass.
What staggers the soldier most is that
twenty or thirty men drunk with ambition
can bring on the race such immeasurable
woe as this war, and much teaching Will be
needed to show him that the only door of
escape from such calamity is in democracy
anchored to God and the things of the spirit.
The front reveals what need there is for
teaching men Christian ethics and social
duty, not only as neighbors, but as citizens.
The soldier may not come back much OF
churchman, but he is coming back not
little of a Socialist in sense not TO be
feared. He says, Never again. and means
it. Is the Church ready to guide his resolve
in ways of wisdom and righteousness 20 its

able the cover should be removed, the
vapors famed out and a lighted lamp or
candle, attached to q stick, passed around
inside the cavities to burn out any vapors
that may remain in the cavities.
Unless an ample current Of air at con-
siderable velocity is passing gasolene
should not be used to clean an engine or
other machinery. Even if there is suffi-
cent air to sweep away the vapors as
soon as they are given off open lights
should always be kept at safe distance
and on the intake side so that the vapor
cannot be carried to the light.-Sofety
