LEND A HAND

This is the last day of the great drive for
the Army and Navy Activities fund OF
three thousand dollars, and the required
sum must be in the hands of the committee
by this evening.
There are number of reasons why
every Pensacolian who can possibly do so
should respond to this appeal, but the first
and foremost is because, unless he does So
he loses a rare privilege which is his, and
which may not present itself, in lust the
same way again.
President Wilson has said "The spirit
with which our soldiers leave America and
their efficiency at the battle fronts of
Europe will be yitaly affected by the char
acter of the environment surrounding our
military training camps"
This environment cannot possibly be as
sured without funds for maintenance, and
tic this end the committee has asked your
support. The need is urgent, the duty is
imperative. The opportunity may not be
yours again.
The fund is a comparatively small one,
for the purpose for which it is designed. To
make life a little easier, to make the boys
little happier, before they go hence and
pass out of our lives entirely.
When you meet these sturdy young men
in their navy blue or their olive drab, alert,
vigorous, their boyish hearts looking out
little sadly, perhaps, in their level young
gaze,-does not something stir deep within
you, a sense of pride in them, and love for
them,-these boyish defenders of their
country's honor?
For they are so young,-most of them.
They are so keen for life, so eager for the
fray, SO ready for battle,-and so home
sick, most of them 1t will not be long that
they are with us Today they are swagger-
ing, in boyish pride, up and down the
streets,-tomorrow they are marching
hundreds of them, their way to en-
train for France,-or maybe next day they
have gone down in the wide waste of the
waters or have given their lives on the
American sector over the sea.
1t is so little that we can do for them.
Il is so much they give for us. Let us make
them safe as well as happy, while they are
with us. Let us remember them, not only
for their sakes, but for the mothers
and the wives and the sweethearts who
have given them to their country
And it is not charity that you are giving,
remember that For, after all is said and
done, half million dollars are being spent
each month in Pensacola by these men of
the service.
TenSacola mas made wonderful re
spouse to every appeal that has been made,
for the Red Cross, the Liberty Loan, the
Y. M. c. A, the Thrift Campaign But
here is something just a little different.
Something that is privilege rather than
duty.
Be ready when the committee calls upon
you and give unstintin9ly to this fund
which is to create for the brief space that
thew are with us lust 2 little more SIM
shine for the boys-those who soon will go
out to offer themselves for their country
and for you.

between our own people, yet nothing
comared with the awful conflict in
which we are at this time involved.
Another special feature of this
meeting will be the arrangements for
rest room by the members OF
Damon lodge, where the men of the
service can spend their time while
in the city, write letters to the folks
at home, read and pass their time
away in any way they may choose.
All Pythians are cordially invited
to attend this meeting. A special in
vitat.on is extended to the men in
the service.

STATUTE CHARGED

George Gilbert, a white man, was
arrested yesterday forenoon and
charged with violating the govern
ment order by furnishing liquor to

They Were Like
Blue Flowers at Home

Sometimes the letters are neces-
sarily sadder than this one. Mrs.
Collins, of Wyoming, writes to ask
how her son died; was he comfort
able? Had he ever "gone to work."
or did he die on the very threshold
of France? Did he speak of her
on his deathbed? Was it pneu-
monia?
Major Allen sends to the searcher
who was with the boy at his death
and asks her. He receives these
notes in reply: Henry Collins died
peacefully. He had pneumonia.
Was conscious until a few hours
before his death. Spoke of his
mother, and wanted some blue flow
ers in a vase to be set near him be-
cause they were like the flowers at
home. Were other flowers in the
room, but he would not have them.
Blue flowers have been forwarded to
mother. Received three letters from
home the day before he died. Is
buried in beautiful cemetery over
looking lovely river. Have visited
his grave twice. Somebody had
placed bunch of violets on it. The
Stars and Stripes wave over his
head"

Long Before
The Letter Arrived

Long before the letter arrived
Major Aliens department had begun
a search for Corporal Dawes. The
day he vanished his name was CIV
en- in to the bureau as among the
missing. The department immedi-
ately sent his name to all of the
hospitals in France where Ameri-
cans are received. In every one of
these there is a woman. called a
searcher. Her duty is to know the
men and to seek out information.
If there was not anybody in her
territory by the name Of Corporal
Dawes, she was supposed to know
whether she had any one present
from his company. If she had, she
asked him where he had seen his
missing comrade last. He might
say, Corporal Dawes was beside me
when we went into action. l never
saw him after that" He might
report that he saw him killed. or
that he saw him taken prisoner.
That he saw Dawes taken prisoner
is what a soldier at hospital down
in the south of France did say re-
garding Corporal Dawes. The
searcher reported the information,

A Bearer One Yet /
Than the Others

Sometimes inquiries come from
people other than mothers-as in
the case of Private Collins. A letter
came in bearing the postmark of
Sigourney, Iowa. 1t asked all of the
tender questions Of the mothers let
ter, and more. 1t bore the signature
From his lonely, faraway sweet
heart"
Not all the questions come from
America, however. Sometimes the
boys need to have trifling errands
attended to here in France. A boy
wrote in that he had bought some
lace for his sisters. Would this de-
partnent of the Red Gross send it
back to them? 1t would, and did. A
boy had left word with the Amer
lean Express Company for them to
forward his mail to him at the
front. None had reached him, al
though he felt sure that his family
had written. Major Aliens depart
ment investigated and found that
tho American Express Company had
not understood. Two letters were
there for him, and they were
promptly forwarded.
The boys oyer here get desperate
ly eager sometimes for news of
home. Has the last payment been
made on the town lot which the SOL
der and his brother were buying
together for their parents? Is his
sweetheart lonely for him? Isl
mother we'll? Every boy in the
American army is at liberty to stop
any Red Cross man he sees and ask
him about any situation at home
that troubles him. The Red Cross
man entrusted with a question car
ries it to the Office of Major Allen,
and some one there Immediately
cables America for information re-
garding the point. The matter. is
referred to the local Red Cross, and
they, after an investigation, return
a reply to the headquarters in Wash
ington, whereupon full particulars
Of the case are cabled here.
Thus are our men and their fam
lilies, although separated by miles of
land and ocean, kept in close touch
with one another.

WILL YOU HELP?

The United States Food Administra-

notice to the citizens of the United

Supplying food is Americas prin-

Food means first of all, Wheat. The
next two months will tell.
Week by week, because of various
hindrances, we have sent overseas
less than the needed quotas-we have
eaten into our reserve stock of wheat
There is no leeway now.
In our saving or selfshness is
bound up success or collapse of the
cause. Saving or selfshness is oul
triumph or shame.
Cut use of wheat to the limit.
Households keep within one ant
one-half pounds of wheat flour pei
week for each person. Many house
holds are using no wheat at ALL Pub
lie eating places keep within an equa
allowance for every twenty-one meals
served. Many hotels and restaurant!
are using no wheat at all.
Every purchase of wheat flour t.
be accompanied by at least equa
weight of other cereals.
! Purchase of wheat flour to be lin
tied in quantity.
Bakeries to be limited to 70 pc
cent of their previous consumption o
wheat.
Let all who can, save more saw
wheat, meat, fats, sugar Conserv
all food. Waste nothing. Wheat j
the test.
Nor is this a time to hoard wheat
Those who are holding wheat, refus
