TRENCH CHAPLAIN HUGHES
FLAYS PESSlMISTS AND PRO-
GERMANITES IN SPEECH TO
PENSACOLA SHIPBUlLDING CO.
WORKERS.

A preachers life in the front line
trenches may be conductive to swear
ing even by a member of the cloth, so
thinks DIR. David Hughes former
chaplain in the British army, who was
severely wounded while administering
communion to a dying allied soldier
DR.. Hughes enthused Pensacola
shipbuilding workers at a big open
air meeting yesterday. He was here
for the National Service Section of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation The
chaplain speaks in no evangelical terms
of the Hun and of the American citi-
zen of German birth and parentage
who may have kind thoughts of the
fatherland.
Some people say. DIR. Hughes told his
audience. that it is too much to ask of
such a citizen to make war on his own
flesh and blood, and he gives as his
answer:
IF George Washington and the Brit
ish coloniSts had sale such thing
during the Revolutionary war the
Americans would have refused to fight
their English brothers and there would
not have been any United States Of
America today. If man comes here
and accepts American money. Ameri-
can opportunities, American demo-
to be willing to work for America give
to America, fight for America and even
die for America or get to hell out Of
America
Dr.. Hughes was greeted with en-
thusiasm by the men when he spoke of
the pessimism of people who believed
that Germany would come out victor
in the combat. He said:
THE pessimists do not understand
the spirit of the troops. The slogan is
not to gain territory but to kill Ger
mans, and they are doing it If the
allied commanders had wished to gain
territory by paying the price of can
non fodder they would have done it and
all the Germans in hell and out of it
could not have stopped them
Lieut.. C. r. d. Shagel, wounded hero
of the Armentieres sector and an Of
ficer in the Royal Field Artillery OF
the British army. made big hit at
the MONDAY meeting when he spoke of
the splendid morale of the British. the
French, the Italian and the American
soldier. With DR.. Hughes he is on the
last lap Of a speaking journey for the
L. s Shipping Board. whicn has en-
braced the Great Lakes. the Pacific
Coast and the South. and which will
terminate at the starting point, New
York

This youth had just completed his
transfer of bundles that serve nearly
1 thousand readers along the Broad
Top ana had come back to serve his
subscribers, when the inspector met
him and prevented him from obtain
ing his bundle.
Employees of the railroad baggage
room declared yesterday that the Of
ffcer steered clear of all men and did
not reveal his identity or business to
any ono until he could pounce upon
the boys and throw a scare into
them.
Later he called at the Briggs News
Agency, in the center of the town,
and ordered that a son. who picks up
a little extra money during the sum-
mer vacation by collecting laundry
packages, stop at once.
At this place. according to Mrs.
Briggs, the officer declared he was
going to have a hearing for Mr..
Bealman before the Mayor. Inquiry
at the office of the Mayor and the
local aldermen elected the informa-
tion that no arrangements had been
made for any arrests by the inspec-
tor and nothing was known of any
hearings.

ranks of the youthful statesmen who
have been supplying the people of
this section with daily papers and
inflicted a loss of many dollars upon
these boys whom he prevented from
disposing of their supply of papers.
Calling at the home of d. Z. Beal-
man, whose son sells the Altoona
Mirror. this inspector who gave his
name as Van B. Thomas, of Hope
well. Pa, informed the father that
he should consider himself under
prosecution" for violation of the
Child Labor Law. Mr.. Bealman de-
clares his son is Is years old and
therefore does not violate the Child
Labor Law, which sets the minimum
age at / 2 years.
The inspector, Mr.. Bealman de-
clares. brushed aside this objection
and insisted that the father 'call at
the Beers Hotel at s o'clock in the
evening, fix up the papers, and pay
a fine He intimated, according to
Mr.. Bealman, that he would make
the fine as light as possible" but re-
lated the story of how a widow wo-
man in Pittsburgh had been fined
for a similar "offense."
ITO Fix Up Fine"
When Mr.. Bealman called at the
Beers Hotel, as ordered, he was in
formed. he says, by a clerk, that In

go to Huntingdon and that he was
to inform Mr.. Bealman that he
would be back tomorrow to fix up

At the Bealman home the inspec.

This makes the second count fol-
you," Mr. Bealman says the officer
declared to him.
When asked by Mr.. Bealman If IL
was legal for his son to pick potato
bugs or weed the garden, the officer
according to Mr.. Bealman, declared
well, he didn't know, but he guessed
that since he wasn't paid for that
work it would be all right.

Freight Rates Higher
Freight rates on virtually every
railroad in the United States were
twenty-five per cent. higher yester-
day. The recent advance ordered by
Director eneral McAdoo to meet in
creased operating costs, resultant
from the increase in wages to rail-
road workers. became effective Mon
day at midnight, and became appli-
cable to all freight billed for transit
after that hour. Freight in transit
when the new rates became effective
will be carried at the old rate.
AS most of the short-line railroads,
not under Government management,
have filed new schedules with the
Interstate Commerce Commission car
rying rates conforming to those or
dered by Director-General McAdoo.
the rate increase virtually was uni
versal.
The new rates apply both to inter-
state and intrastate shipments. Spe-
cific advances are made for coal,
coke, ores, stone, brick. grain, cot
ton, livestock, meats, sugar and other
commodities shipped in large guam
titles and for export and import

With the going into effect of the
new rates, traffic committees OF

hearings on the many protests re-
ceived and make recommendations to
the Railroad Administration. These
hearings and recommendations are
expected, it was stated, to result in
a number of minor changes in the
rates.

Tor submarines which recently were
operating off the Atlantic coast.
The raider was described as about
270 feet long. with a speed estimated
at from fifteen to twenty knots an
hour. Some of those who sighted the
craft expressed the belief that she
was former fruit steamer plying
between the United States and Cen

tured and armed by one of the sub
marines operating off the coast.
1t also was said that both the
British and American navies have

to protect shipping.
Washington. June 26.-At the Navy
Department last night it was said
that no report of a raider in West
Indian waters or on this side of the
Atlantic had been received at the de-
partment. 1t was regarded as pos
sible that a raider might have slipped
through the naval Gordon around tho
North sea, or that a steamer cap
tured by submarine had been
armed.
