DON'T BE DECEIVED.

DON'T BE DECEIVED.
''TeI the people not to be deceived with peace
talk"
This is the message that is brought to the
people of Pensacola from the men who have been
at the front-Major A. E. Lowery, one of that
contemplate little army" which held the Huns
at bay and kept them from the channel ports,
and Private II. M. Sloan, just out of the hos
pital, of the first of the American marines
who at Chateau Thierry once more held back the
German hoPdes and saved civilization.
'If they knew the tricks that we know, if they
had seen the Germans as have seen them,
they would know that there can be no peace I'M
til Berlin is taken and there has been reckoning
with the Kaiser"
These men have come to Pensacola to talk Tor
the Liberty Loan. They have been wounded,
they have suffered the pangs of hunger, the
agony of fever-thirst, the pognancy of pain. they
have faced death. They have met the German
on his own ground, and they have come to lift
their voices in warning against peace ~propa-
ganda at this time when more than any other,
the people of America need to be told the truth.
There determination in their faces, there
was Indignation in their voices, there was scorn
in their announcement of those Americans who
are standing back today, giving excuses for not
putting the Fourth Liberty Loan over the top
The most important movement to the consum-
nation of this war.
They have been where six thousand men were
moved down in ninety minutes-men whose
blood is crying out to the American people for
vengeance, for had these men not died and other
thousands gone to take their places, the chan
mel ports would have been captured and today not
only would Great Britain and France and Italy
have been conquered, but America would be in
The hands of the Huns.
Private Sloan fought at Chateau Thierry with
men known and loved in Pensacola-Colonel Lee
and Major Cole the latter having been killed in
action at Chateau Thierry.
Doubtless other men known here fought side
by side with him in that division that won the
day for America.
In the little town of West Point, on the Ala
bama-Georgia line, where Private Sloan told his
story of fighting at the front, the men went over
the top in fifty-five minutes
These men come to Pensacola with no doubt,
with no msgiying as to the ultimate outcome.
The people of Escambia county have never
failed yet. They will not fail now. In every
campaign they have come off with flying colors.
No who has felt the pulse of the people
can doubt but what Escambia will more than
raise its quota, in spite of all handicaps.
These men, with their message from the boys
at the front, will help to carry the campaign to
victory.

STICK TO FACTS.

Again and again the American people have
been warned against exsggeration in repeating
reports which are circulated regarding the war
program any stories calculated to work in
jury to this nation.
In the same spirit of warning the government
should call attention to the necessity of refrain
ing from exaggeration in reports of the influenza
epidemic.
Again and again since the malady became
prevalent in Pensacola, reports have been scat
tered broadcast of the death of prominent per-
sons, who were at the time walking the Streets
or convalescent from illness.
Conditions have been bad enough all over the
country, without any necessity for exaggeraton
of any kind.
Each citizen should consider it his duty to be
sure of his facts before he repeats them. or bet
ter STILL not to repeat them at all.
Six matches for each man, woman and child

troller holds out hope for an early increase in

GERMANY DOES NOT
FAVOR POLYGAMY
Neither the Government Nor the Peo-
pie Want 1t, Although Individuals
May Have Advocated a
Plurality of Wives.

Amsterdam, March S.-tCorrespond.
ence OF the Associated Press .-Circula
ton in other belligerent countries of
the report that official recognition of
polygamy had been given in Germany, in
order to fill up as quickly as possible the
tremendous gaps which the war has
made in the German army, has aroused
Indignation in the German empire. This
report is said to have been mentioned
in the British House of Commons by
Arthur J. Balfour, the British foreign
minister and by Lord Robert Cecil. the
British minister of munitions.
In the religious weekly paper. Die
Christliche Welt, Professor Martin Rade
declared recently that polygamy is coun-
ternanced neither by the German govern
ment nor by the German people. He
contends that single pamphlets advocat-
ing plurality of wives such az the one
referred to by Lord Robert Cecil, are the
work of irresponsible persons" and
should not be taken seriously. More
over, Professor Rade holds that history
has shown that after all great wars,
the losses have been made good by nor
NAL marriages.
There seem to be, however good
many irresponsible persons" in Germany
who hold queer ideas as to the breeding
of the future German. The Berliner
Tageblatt devotes an article to them. II
begins by saying that the pamphlet
quoted in the House of Commons had no
sort of official sanction and that on the
contrary, it was quickly suppressed. The
Tageblatt, however, mentions the actiyi-
ties of the Eden and Mittagsbund"
movement and the "Hammar Commune
ty," whose ideas for increasing the birth
rate and to breed the "Germanic super
man" are regarded as distinctly peculiar.
Then there is the German Society for
Regeneration" and the Order of the |
New Templars," which want to main |
tain the balance of births as against the
fertility of the Semitic races. Finally, |
a society named "Ariana" frankly advo. |
Gates free love. None of these sects, the |
Tageblatt asserts, is of any Importance.
The paper further argues that the So
cieties only work on the theories of Oar
win and Gobineau- both of them non
Germans-who advocate selective breed.

1t is only those who are played out by
overwork, worry, excuses, and thought

disappointed in life. Do not condemn
them; their nerves are starved, they are
depleted of life and energy, and no
thought is given to supply them with
food nerve energy to make them calm,
strong and controllable.
The foolish waste of nerve force turns
a cheerful, happy person to the Crouch

Typewriter Signatures.

In these days of typewriter letters
and equally typewriter official docu-
ments the writing by hand is becoming
q lost art.
Average of time for reading letters
is two minutes for the body of the let
ter and anywhere from fifteen minutes
to two hours trying to figure out who
made the hieroglyphics that stand for
a signature.
In these days of economy it seems
wicked to waste so much time. Let
the stenographer type the signature In
full at the end of the letter, leaving a
space below in which the author may
satisfy his taste for cubist or futurist
art.
Every man, even a lawyer or a sol
der, has a right to sign his name as
he pleases. But the man who writes a
signature which none can copy-or
read-should at least furnish his
friends with a key to the code he uses.
Business colleges please copy.-To-

Women to Give up Platinum.

Women possessing platinum-mounted
jewelry are being urged to have it
converted into War Savings stamps
and used for making war materials. A
special drive has been inaugurated to
increase the platinum supply for the
government by melting up Stacker
baubles Of platinum. 'Women have
gone without heat, without wheat,
without meat" said n of the leaders
of the movement when telling of her
plea to her sex to sacrifice their orna-
ments. "They have been asked to
economic on the materials in their
clothes and reduce the height of their
shoes to save leather. Surely they
ought not to find 1t a hardship to go
without platinum. There is a shortage
of platinum and it is only with great
difficulty that a sufficient quantity for
actual needs is being obtained for the
goyernment."-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

In July the woman who must pro-
vide herself with new headwear turns
her back upon summer materials
straws and summer iowers-and asks
for something new 1t seems she
likes to anticipate and foreshadow the
season ahead in her millinery. This
and the knowledge that summer is wan
ing and another summer will bring its
own new millinery allurements, makes
her buy hats for fall even in the dog
days, as she crowns her head with
straw in January or February-with
the snow flying.
The shops and stores are now full
of fabric hats for the demi-SeaSOn, be-
tween summer and early winter, and
include many hats for fall that will
outlast that seaso and do service in
the winter as well. There has been a
growing appreciation of beautiful
lines that has resulted in the most
becoming shapes we have eve had.
Crowns are usually soft and often
araped. These models passed the old
lcid test of good millinery-that is
the woman must look better in her
lat than without tor it is not a
Iuccessful hat.
Much effective, but not intricate,
feeble work appears in new millinery
insel thread, chenille, heavy m
kroidery silk and yarns of all sorts.
Millinery workrooms feel the obliga-
ion to save time and materials as a
var measure, therefore work on hats
must not be lavish, but what there is
# it must be beautifully done.
The group of three lovely hats for
all shown above tells much more
jlainly than words can the first of
he story about the new seasons
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-10-25

styles. At the left a soft round hat
is an example Of clever use of cut out
felt ove satin. Long stitches OUT
line the cut out and either chenille or
silk could make them. There is a
frivolous but fascinating pompon at
the front which proclaims it a hat
for the young woman.
Just below it is a hat for late sum-
mer and early fall of navy blue and
white taffeta. Disks and rings OF
white felt are Joined by stitches OF
yarn in q band for crown and brim.
At the front there are two ornaments
covered by being wound with folds Of
silk. Daintiness and elegance pro-
nounce this a model that would tri-
umph anywhefe-among women OF
fine taste. At the right a rich look
ing and picturesque model is prophetic
of winter made of some novelty
in fabrics that outrivals velvet. 1t
has facing of satin, placed with such
exquisite finish in the workmanship
that it makes the hat a novelty of the
highest class. And the trimming is
a simulated quill made of the same
fabrics as those in the hat-another
example of what the millinery artist
can do by combining materials and
ideas.
