GERMANY'S PROSPERITY.

The haunting fear of the rising tide of the
masses, nightmare to the upper classes, who
have been unable to adjust themselves to the
revolutionary new social order in Germany is
not without basis in hard fact, according to
reports which come to this country, through
sources from Holland.
While the broad middle classes have been the
cruelest sufferers under increasing abnormal
conditions, the masses have never been so we'll
off financially and economically as today, accord
ing to these authorities, and the potential power
and political Importance of the proletariat have
increased accordingly
At the same time, the leaders of the masses
and their followers are preparing for eco
nomic class struggle after the war, if peace
comes soon,-or in the closing phases, if pro-
longed unduly. Germany's proletariat is already
a grave problem, militarily, politically and So
cially.
The standard of living among the masses has
tended to rise all along the line; for military
necessity and man power shortage have forced
up wages faster than the war cost of living has
risen.

SPARE THAT SNAKE!

From along about the time that Adam and
Eve moved out of the Garden of Eden, human
beings have held grudge against the snake.
They have sought to make this snakeless
world, and have not succeeded, excepting in Ire
land. Because they have not succeeded, we may
give thanks. We need snakes, more apparently,
than we have, for snakes are an invaluable as
set as rodent destroyers.
"Only II of the Ill varieties of snakes in
America poisonous writes Glayne K. Nor
ton in American Forestry. "None," he asserts,
twill attack human being except in self-de-
tense. All of them destroy rodents that injure
crops and carry communicable diseases"
The u. S. Department of Agriculture places
our annual crop loss due to rodents at over half
a billion dollars, or something like SIS person.
Just how many more snakes we need in Amer
lea to save this $500,000,000 of food no one
claims to know, but it may be good idea for
snake haters to permit the wiggling reptiles a
longer lease of life-a reprieve you might say
until all the rodents are gone.
Then, on with the snake slaughter!

BIG DRIVE STARTS TO-DAY

With both the president and the secretary
Of the treasury appealing to the people of the
United States to continue their efforts in behalf
of the Third Liberty Loan drive, every effort
should be made to make this week a record
breaker, bringing the campaign to such close
as viii make the people of this section proud of
their achievement.
Today whirlwind campaign starts which will
not end until Saturday the last day of the drive.
Every committeeman will be on the job, and
one hundred volunteers have been called for to
do the real constructive work in order that Pen
sacola may roll up big total.
If we were in the trenches in France, trying
to repulse the Hun, we would not have time
to think whether our business was suffering by
our absence. While we not in the trenches,
we are an army endeavoring to keep the Hun
from landing on our shores, by supplying the
money necessary to win the war three thousand
miles away from here rather than waiting till
we have to win it here. Therefore, we should
all be ready to make the personal sacrifice of
time and business necessary to give our un-
divided efforts to the Liberty Loan work for the
remainder of the campaign.

ROTARIANs LISTEN
To DIR. KENNEDY

At the regular meeting Of the Rotary
Club yesterday, DR.. S. r.. Mallory Ken
nedy formed the chief feature of the
meeting, and gave brief but intensely
interesting talk on some of the work at
the casualty clearing station in the
Cambria sector where he was stationed
during most of his service with the
British expeditionary forces.
He gave a general account of the sit
uation, and touched on the great drive
by General Byng on November 20tiI.
when $50 tanks were used in the single
stroke.
The chief point of his talk, however.
was semi-technical discussion of the
development of the blood-transfusion
process developed by Lieutenant Har-
veson, of the Harvard unit. whose ex-
periments have revolutioniZed this
branch of surgery.
Lieutenant Harveson was stationed
for time at the casualty clearing sta
ton with DR.. Kennedy, and his method
of TRANSMISSION was used in the resus-
citation wards there.
in many cases where serious opera
tions are necessary. the patient has
already lost so much blood through
wounds, that the danger of death I'M
der the anesthetic makes it imperative

to replace some of the blood. Lieu
tenant Harveson has enlarged the scope
Of this work by perfecting method Of
bolod preservation, which can be used
for three weeks, and makes the work
of resuscitation comparatively simple.
He again used the war poem Zero
Hour to great effect, and his recital
made deep impression. It is perhaps
the best war poem yet written. and
DR.. Kennedy brings to the recitation
all the force and dramatic effect so
well known to Pensacolians.
"Restivo." the accordion wizard, who
is playing his second engagement at the
Isis, was guest of the club, and
through the courtesy Of Manager
Johnny Jones, of the Isis, rendered
several numbers He volunteered to
play any requests. and finished the
program with the Star Spangled Ban

and then voted both the artist and Mr.
Jones the thanks of the organization
for the entertainment.

HELPED DRY TEXAS.

To Brigadier General John w. Ruckman,
commander of the Southern Department, with
headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, is
given big share of the credit for making Texas
dry. For several months he has waged vigor-
Gus campaign against the saloons and vice condi-
tons in the cities and towns of the state ada
cent to the army camps in Texas.
It is said to have been at the suggestion Of
General Ruckman, that Governor Hobby recon-
mended to the Texas legislature the enactment
of law which prohibited the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within radius of ten miles of any
place in the state where soldiers are stationed
or in training. The law passed by the
legislature and went into effect on April 18th.
1t practically means the extending of prohibition
to the entire state of Texas, as there are only
a few localities left where the sale of liquor is
permitted.
General Ruckman has been very severely
criticized by a small element who are opposed
to what they chose to call his "PuritanicaT
policies in forcing the cleaning up of San An
tonic and other towns within the jurisdiction
where soldiers are stationed.
He has exercised his authority so far to
see that the restaurants and other such places
in San Antonio which are frequented with sol
diers are kept in sanitary condition and also
that there is no over charging in these places,
to the men who wear the uniform. He has SO
overturned conditions in that city that some of
those whom his vigorous policy has antagonized
have tried to bring about his transfer or re-
moval. But it is said that the authorities at
Washington are thoroughly familiar with his
work and approve of it.

GERMAN MINISTER'S CHARGED.

German ministers are charged with being re-
sponsible for much of the disloyalty manifested
in some portions of the country notably in Ne
braska, according to dispatches. Nebraska has
"a large Teuton population but most of it is
credited with backing the government in it's
fight against the kaiser.
Some of these preachers who have talked dis
loyalty have already been interned and others
have been indicted by the United States author
tiles and are awaiting trial They are held under
the Espionage Act, which provides fine of not
more than en'thousand dollars or twenty years
Imprisonment, upon conviction.
Most of these spiritual leaders represent the
Lutheran denomination the state church of
Prussia, and have been sent over by the Father
land as shepherds for Germans who live in
colonies.
Germans look upon them as their leaders and
the authorities in Nebraska charge that they
are to blame for much of the trouble which the
Defence Councils have experienced since the be-
ginning of the war.

woMEN's COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.

A concrete illustration and convincing demon
stration of the part that women are playing in
the commercial life of the nation, more pro-
nounced, perhaps, since the opening of the war,
is the organization of the Illinois Women's As
ISOLATION of Commerce, which had its birthplace
in Bloomington, Ill. The object is to unite the
business women of the cities and the state for
mutual welfare.
1t is planned to organize an association in
each city which will send delegates to the state
organization. The general scope of the organ
ization is similar to that among the business
men of the state and the nation. AS rapidly as
possible similar associations viii be formed in
each state in the Union and when sufficient
number have been reported national meeting
will be called in some metropolitan city.

WAR RELICS AND QUESTIONS.

In the State CAPITAL at Montgomery
there is glass containing a tattered.
moth-eaten, stained, and faded blue
cloth. A card alongside informe the
visitor that It is part Of the Jacket
of q Union soldier taken at the Pensa-
cola navy yard. in January 1861.
Nothing is said of the man who was
in it, and whose body it sheltered
from the cold and whose blood made
those dark spots. That is unimportant
in wor. The Confederates weren't
concerned about 1t. nor the Northern
ers either, but some home on the
other size of the line would perhaps
like to know.
DR.. Kennedy brought home with him
some very interesting war relics.
Among them is the dress helmet of
a Prussian officer, and a crimson
cap of a German private. There is
watch taken from some Hun who died
in the Casualty Clearing Station, and
some rather ugly looking Hun Bayo-
nets, which are no longer soing what
they were intended for.
These are interesting to us now, and
to later generations will increase in
interest. Blue cloth of Union uniforms
was common in 1851. but there is only
a precious shred In the Capital at
Montgomery. We are not particularly
interested with what became of the
Hun whose helmet lies on DR.. Ken
nedy's table, except that he is dead.

courage to ask the Kaiser this ques-
ton, and then there will be peace
