gallant King to the brave little pri-
Yates in the ranks, is "eating up ev-

but there we're few raids. But while
was there the Belgian army was be-
ginning to stir. One morning I saw
a party OF my countrymen returning
in boats. They had been out on an
l-night raiding party. They were
dead weary but they were singing.
They had taken some hun prisoners
and their trench knives had blood on
them. You know what has happened
since.
"The king makes his headquarters
at La Panne. little village on the Bel
g1an seacoast. Here he lives like
modest citizen Of moderate means in q
simple two-story brick cottage. The
house faces out on the sand dunes. I
remember there were two flower beds
which did not thrive well in that sandy
soil
1.-The interior OF the house Is as
simple as the exterior. The king has
a tiny salon fitted out with some old
red velvet chairs very much the worse
for wear and years. There Is q small
table on which were lying some French
and English newspapers. AT this table
the king does his work.

heir to the throne, at the age when

was coming in, saw the pretty blonde
Princess Marie Jose, IL, romping in
after a walk on the dunes. It's sweet
wholesome family life that is led at La
Panne, broken, of course, by the nee

THE SINEWS OF WAR.

Unconditional surrender characterizes the gen.
eral comment on the demand for peace sent by
the Central Powers to President Wilson. It is
felt that Germany and her allies have not gone
FAR enough in their request to the President for
in armistice, and that, although they have stated
that they are willing to talk peace on President
Wilson's plans, they have not shown submission
such as was forced upon Bulgaria.
what will President Wilson's reply be 2" the
people asking and wondering, now that they
know that the Central Empires particularly Ger
many, are seeking cessation of hostilities and
peace through the United States
The feeling is general that the Central EN-
pires, bent upon the greatest gamble Of all times
have attempted to bring about by one stroke the
termination Of their losing game by trying to
seek the good Offices of President Wilson as in
termediary.
"The artfuI efforts of the Central Powers to
obtain respite under cover of negotiated peace
should deceive no one and should not in any way
affect our activities in prosecuting the war; which
is not yet won," David Jayne Hill, one of Amer
ica's most able leaders, truly says.
'The first step toward appeal for a dis
cussion of peace terms on the part of the Cen
trail Powers should be the cmplete evacuation of
invaded territory. The alternative is to drive
the invaders out.
''To speak of the Presidents proposition as
bases of negotiation is illusory unless they are
previously accepted as terms of peace
81 am moved to say this at this moment be-
cause many well-meaning people may be deluded
into believing that the war is practically ended.
and that the money demanded to execute the
plans of our Government will not be needed.
Such state of mind on the part of the American
people would Immediately lessen the effect of our
victories in the field and greatly prolong the war.

to double my subscription to the Fourth Liberty
Loan"

ENFORCE SANITARY LAWS

H II the influenza epidemic in Pensacola has
done nothing else, it has fully demonstrated; the
need Of enforcement of sanitary laws in this city
Pensacola has on it's statute books at this time
laws sufficient to protect the public health if
they were enforced, not occasionally, whenttheue
\ is some prevailing sickness arouse the public
authorities to their duty and the people to their
RESPONSIBILITIES. But day in and day out,Ii a
regular year round clean-up campaign.
| One thing that has been brought outlin this
house to house canvass that has been made dur
ing the epidemic OF influenza, Is that no inspec-
tors have been about their business flor some
time, or, If they have. they have not enforced
the sanitary laws.
Since the influenza became epidemic, the city
has made real effort TO cooperate in the work
Of Graduating the disease. And this spirit is
lcemmendable. But one must be blind indeed.
who can look about the city and not see that
it is not in the condition that it should be. and
must be put, If this and other epidemics are to
become past history.
Because Pensacola is suffering only in like
measure with other cities does not argue that
the condition of the city has nothing to do with
the disease The probability is that all over the
country people have relaxed their efforts towards
sanitation, just as they have here.
There is nothing so important as the winning
of this war. But because we want to whip the
Huns is no reason why we should become care
less of conditions which menace the health Of the
country.
Pensacola is winning in this fight, and one of
the chief reasons is because she is cleaning up
She must keep on cleaning up, and must keep
clean, if the conditions are to be overcome.
The outlook in Pensacola is encouraging. It
will remain so only if the utmost vigilance is ex-
ercised Let the commissioners hand in hand
with the people work for clean city, and keep
clean.

OVER THE TOP

The Liberty Loan will not be extended beyond
October 10, the date originally set for its close
and the fact that the committee has been Sc
hampered in it's efforts through the epidemic of
influenza makes it all the more imperative that
those who subscribed to the loan before should
subscribe again, and that subscriptions should
be doubled and trebled.
Pensacola has never failed to meet any crisis
which has come to her. She will not fail in this.
But few days will remain to the committee in
which to carry active campaign, and in the
meantime those whose duty it is to subscribe
to the bonds,-and this includes everybody
should arrange their affairs to be ready
TO respond Immediately on call, or better still,
should volunteer their subscriptions.
It may be necessary to carry the campaign
over the top in only few days. If this is neces-
.ary, it will be done.
The very fact that Pensacola has suffered the
epidemic Just passed, indicates the greater need
Tor investment in supporting the issue of govern
nent bonds.
Pensacola has won its fight against influenza
It has won that fight through the wonderful CO.
operative spirit of the people.
Men who have come to this city from Jackson
vile and Montgomery have declared that the
organization work of Pensacola is wonderful
That they have never seen anything to equal the
spirit of cooperation that has been generated
here.
1t is this same spirit that will put the loan
over the top. 1t is this spirit that has put
every patriotic movement over the top since the
United States entered the war against the Hun.
If ever there was a time when the soldiers of
this country and their allies need us to pledge
to them anew our faith, it is now. They
pledging their faith to us in blood We
pledge our faith to them in money.
For it is money that is needed to win this war.
That may sound cold and hard, but it is true.
All we have to do, we who are here at home,
is to give money. While they lay down their
lives for us.
Greater love hath no man than this, that he
lay down his life for his friend"
While those boys Of ours,-fesh of our f1esh,-
shed their blood on foreign fields, let us who
stay here at home to keep the hearth fires burn
ing give all that have to keep them safe, in
so far as it lies within our power.
Our money can help to do this. Not money
that give. Money that we lend. Money put
into the best securities in the world
A little price to pay in return for the lives that
have been laid down, that it might be possible
for us to have home and freedom.
