torpedo is the belief exprtssed by
the captain of the vessel in his re.
pert to the navy department.
The United States armored cruis-
or san Diego was sunk ten miles
southeast OF Fire Island off the New
York coast at 1880 yesterday morn
ing, the navy department learned TO-
day in an official report.
One officer and two boat crews
were tho first to land at a life saw
ing sttaion. Other survivors were
reported safe in a boat off tht coast
Several steamers were standing by
to give assistance to the i'll fated
boat and to assist in the work of res
cuing the crew. No loss of life was
ascertained in the first reports.
a complete report was not ayaila-
BILE, but the accepted belief is that
the ship was the victim of Ger
man U-boat. According TO the mea-
gre information. an aviator flying
over the ship was the first to give
the news that the vessel was in dis
tress. AS the wireless buzzed off
the S. o. S. call many craft bastcned

lowing:
The Wellesley Unit of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has just arrived from
America to work among the repatri-
ates and refugees. Its six members

work which they are to do here. The

No. IS having been changed a few
DAYS ago from 9:23 to 9:34 p. M,
and to leave at 9:44. The ten min
utes is consumed, however, in clear
ing the main line for the north. bound
train, hence the train is at the station
only at the arriving time. Few people
noticed the change, as No. IS has, as

"THL 1T FEELS GOOD"

Slogans and catch phrases are be-
ing coined and used now as never be-
fore in this country, and while there
is division of opinion regarding their
general usefulness, the short and
snappy ones go the rounds, and some
are taken up and extensively used
while others quickly get into the dis
card. Sometimes the phrase, meant
to be effective especially in one or
another of the financial drives" has
had more than "punch"-and some
times it fixes a limit-and either Of
these is admitted to be bad FOR the
cause in point. For instance, "Do
Your Bit" was said, sung. written,
printed and painted on walls, in mil
lions of places and millions of times,
until someone discovered that the ex-
pressed limit was injuring the cause
A "bit" was interpreted to mean a
single contribution or service and the
'bit' accomplished, all obligation to
country and cause and allies was
deemed cancelled. 1t has been calcu
lated that millions have been lost by
the use of "Do Your Bit" because o.
its implied limitation.
There was another slogan brought
into the open more lately that left
a bad taste in the mouth. "Give Till
It Hurts" was the way some Jealous
patriot put it; and unless human ma
ture has altogether changed since the
war began, the very first contribution
made after the order was spread on
the boards "hurt" considerably Sug
gestion is the most subtle Of influ-
ences and the man or woman told to
wear sackcloth and ashes Immediately
begins to feel the scratch of the rough
cloth and the irritation of the ashes.
Give Till 1t Hurts" brought gifts to
various funds for war purposes, but
they lacked the blessing of hope and
faith that had followed and crowned
the contributions before. Then came
Nathan Straus, Of New York, a phil
anthropist who is not a "refawmer,"
doer of good deeds who is not in
tolerant, and he suggested "Give Till
1t Feels Good" and truly this should
be used in all Of our efforts to make
them effective. We have ample au-
thority for declaring that "it is more
blessed to give than to receive" and
we do not need to repeat that "the
greatest of these (blessings) is char
ity,' but it does no harm, for times
does not alter or diminish their force
full argument.
Let us, then, in every good cause
proposed, give until we feel good
about (which means doing our very
best. We don't need to make it "hurt"
for that feeling comes only when our
acts are forced. Nathan Straus, man
who loves his fellowman, has shown
us how we can help and be glad. -

This exodus of colored men from
Florida means that this State faces a
scarcity of labor that will very seri-
ously interfere with it's industries
More white men will have to work
with their hands than heretofore, or
much work will have to go undone.
IL Florida heretofore there has been
less farm work done by women than
If other Southern States and it may
BE- that they cannot be expected to
help very materially in this class OF
labor. But colored women can do
most of the work on Florida farms as
we'll as the men; and the white wom-
en can release many helpers for this
necessary work by doing their own
household labors and dispensing with
colored servitors. We've all got to
do a little more real work than we
. have ever done before if we are really
in earnest about helping out in this
great national emergency.
