CLEAN UP!

With the spring upon us and summer
smiling from ambush, it is well to turn
practical thoughts to the public thorough
fares and the home premises. for the gov
eminent has need of workers here as well
as in those other avenues of sterner en-
deavor.
That Pensacola is putting its best foot
foremost, when it comes to city Sanitatiox
and cleanliness, he who runs may read All
cannot shoulder a gun and entrain for
France or enter the clerical service of the
government, or fold bandages for the Red
Cross. But zach can see that his own door
step is clean that his own back yard is SAN
itary, and that no breeding places are in
wait for the FESTIVE fly and the microscopic
mosquito.
With the rush of war work, the aspect
of the city has been much neglected of late
From Wright to Garden streets, on the
eastern side of the boulevarde, the condi-
tions that obtain are disgrace to any city,
and have been for the past month. Pedes-
TRANS who have passed this section of the
street daily can bear testimony to the fact
that paper, fruit Feelings, coco-cola bottle
caps, and all manner of refuse make this
block an eyesore and menace to the health
of the city, as we'll as its appearance
Whether private individuals or the city au-
thorities are to blame for these conditions
is not the business of The Journal, but that
it is the affair of someone, and condition
that needs correction, along with other
conditions equally as bad in other sections
of the city, is plain
Pensacola's population is greater at this
time than it has ever been. The city should
be placed in an absolutely sanitary condi-
ton, and kept so, and steps to this end
should be taken at once, and not delayed
until summer is upon us, with its attendant
duties.

Members of the Russian Bolshekivi in
America have been loudly clamoring that

VOICE OF THE PRESS.


supreme war council, which met at Yer
SALES, and which decided ito continue the
vigorous prosecution of the war until peace
can be obtained based on the principles of
freedom Justice and respect for interna-
tional law the London Morning Post
says:
1--WE find it reassuring to have this un-
altered conviction that the only way to
peace is through an unf1inching prosecu-
ton of the war to victory. The surest way
to peace is to dismiss thought of it. AS
President Wilson has said, in effect, the
greatest foes Of peace are the pacihsts, for
they do not know how to get what they
want

peace which has been gathering and has
been artihcially thickened in many allied
capitals during the dreary months of Win

velopment and the nature of the enlarge
ment of the councils functions is wanted
by the former newspaper, and it hopes that
Mr.. Lloyd George will let the country
know if this means the overruling Of the
high commands of the individual powers
Among other comments of the London
News is this:
The most disappointing feature is the
entire absence of any constructive note.
The declarations of Count Won Hertling
and Count Czernin are dismissed as hold
ing out no hope of accommodation, no dis
tinction being drawn between the obvious
discrepancy in the attitude of the German
and the Acknowledgements ministers. The
council commits itself to the Judgment that
the necessary changes in the temper of the
German people can be effected by the press
TIRE of military effort This is completely
at variance with the expressed views of
President Wilson and still more at variance
with the views of the democracy of Great
Britain. The council may declare there is
no hope but in the sword but it is for the
people to find better way"

the council is assuming executive functions
