Service Men Interested.
With the Red Cross campaign reach
ing the height OF its activities today,
tremendous amount of interest has
been aroused, and this interest is es-
pecialIy noticeable among the men OF
The service. For tn men of the arrnY
and navy are particularly keen about
work of the Red Cross, and have taken
especial interest in noting the mer-
chants who are subscribing TO this
campaign As one man expressed III:
Some merchants are subscribing in a
liberal manner. but others who are
given a large patronge by service men
have not seemed to take the same pa
triotic interest The service men spend
thousands Of dollars in Pensacola every
week, hundreds of thousands each
month Many of the merchants. real
izing this are giving literally 10 the
Red Cross fund. Others. who are
largely benefitting from these men. ae-
cording to a member of one of the
teams, are responding in a most miser
ly manner.
Service men say that the merchant
who contributes literally to this driyel
is the man whom they will CONTINUED
to patronize. for there is nothing sol
dear to the heart Of the American sol
dier and sailor as the American Red
Cross and they are keeping close check
on the merchants who subscribe
