EIIFREDER|CK
GREATS STATUE,
MINISTER URGES

Tear down the bronze replica OF
Frederick the Great and melt it into
bullets as an American message to
Germany r.ir
"And line a few German spies up
against the wall and shoot them"
This Is. the advice coming TODAY
from one of washington's leading
ministers, the Rev. DIR. Wallace Rad
cliffe, pastor ef the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian Church.
Honoring Immorality.
BY permitting the statue OF Freder-
iek the Great to. stand before the
Army. War College, we. are honoring
immortality, DR.. Radcliffe declared be-
fore his congregation yesterday.
He also: accused Congress and the
Administration of too much leniency
in dealing with the German spy
menace.
'sReprimands do not check treason"
he said, -"nor judicial lectures prevent
danger. Our administration will not
be Just, our society will net be safe,
nor our Brotherhood be true until q
few spies are lined up against the
wall and shot"
Justice forbids that we teach i'm
morality by permitting the statue Of
Frederick the Great to remain stand
ang. Ths-announced principles OF this
ruler of the Huns were embodied by
him in such sayings as these:
1--WE Take What We CAM
ave take what We can,' No min
listers abroad except spies Stir up
war among our neighbors,' Promise
help but never send it, and Only one
person in my kingdom, myself"
DR.. Radcliffe advocates the immedi-
ate tearing down Of the bronze, the
same as the colonists tore down the
leaden statue of George III OF Eng
land at the time OF the Revolution
and melted It into bullets for Ameri-
can arms.

Of Hosts may we be led to victory.

Of Hosts may we be led to victory.
General Won Stein, Prussian minister OF
war, in recent interview, declared that
in this war, "the moving decisive power IS
the individual man." And this is true. he
fighting forces are made up by the IN
dividuals and must stand or fall by them.
And on that fact America feels that she
may confidently rely for victory,---men on
the field in the trenches, behind the guns,
in the aeroplanes, contending, directing,
and controlling the machinery of war.
And it is a splendid thing to feel as all
Americans must feel, that in sending our
men abroad we are sending not only the
flower of our country, but the very core of
the world to do battle for democracy
This stupendous war has knocked over
many theories, and has broken many old
established precedents.---never have such
cruelties been practiced, on the one hand
never such humanity. based on high ideals,
on the other And it is the ideals which
will win.
For by it's ideals does nation stand or
fall eventually.
The youth of America is going into
battle with no false conception of war Too
widely have German atrocities been adver-
tised, for fallacious security But they are
taking with them a high sense of patriot
ism, a degree of courage unparalleled, a
conservation to ideals of liberty that shall
prove undying. .s.a
Surely, if we believe anything, we must
believe that the forces of good and evil are
fighting for supremacy, and that the good
must and will prevail. paradise is under
the shadow Of swords"---but it is worth
fighting for, worth dying for, for it means
that liberty shall live in the hearts of all
men. and that righteousness shall prevail
on the face of the earth, and there shall be
no more war

ENTERING UPON A NEW ERA

The coming of the Ketler-Elliott plant
to Pensacola presages growth and de-
velopment which will make this one OF the
important industrial centers of the South
While Pensacola enjoys the distinction
Of being the oldest city in America, its
growth, though substantial, has not been
rapid because its activities have been chief
lv along commercial rather than industrial
lines. 1t has received and exchanged and
forwarded supplies for the world, but it
has not produced. Possessed of unrivalled
natural advantages for manufacturing as
we'll as shipping, Pensacola has only re-
Gently shown promise of coming into its
own. Within the past two years the in
dustrial development has been marked and
the coming of the great steel ship plant will
give Pensacola its opportunity.
Manufacturing plants cluster, they give
greater consideration to the fexibility of
the skilled labor market than to other ad
vantages They have held aloft from Pen
sacola because they believed skilled work
men difficult to secure here The ship
plant will bring many hundreds of skilled
worknen and their presence will bring new
industries, some of which are even now
making investigation of our wonderful
transportation facilities, our proximity to
needed raw materials and Our splendid
climate.
Great credit is due ]. Simpson Reese,
Capt. John. A. Merritt, George Hervey, our
former townsman who still thinks first of
Pensacola, and the others who have had a
part in locating the ship plant here, not
alone because of its present Importance,
which is beyond estimate, but in the future
which it opens.
Optimism is apt to run high while OPP
portunity is knocking at the door but it is
not extravagant to say that PensacOIc is
entering upon a new era which bids fair to
make this city the metropolis of the Gulf
Coast country, if not of the entire South.

words were written many years ago by an
English woman, whose husband was an
army officer,-Juliana Horatio Ewing, who
gave to the world some remarkable stories
Of army life, in which the honor of the
service was eXemplihed.
And always through these stories, side
by side with the idea of conservation of
service to ones country runs the idea of
conservation to ones God. For it is true
that the one correlates the other
For conservation to ones country pre-
supposes a high ideal, and to reach high
ideals one must perforce reach up to the
Higher God.
