DOING HER BIT.

With the organization of the Escambia Coun-
ty Womans Committee for War Work, throwing
its energies into the War Savings campaign, a
new impetus is given the drive to raise the one
million dollar quota which is expected of Escam-
bia County A million dollars for this county at
first glance may seem large order but when
it is taken into consideration that the subscrip-
tions need not be paid at one time, but that
pledges may be given, and the amounts paid in
monthly installments, there seems reason to
doubt victorious outcome to the campaign.
If each person in Escambia county should put
twenty dollars into war savings stamps the
amount would be secured That this is i'm
possible is of course apparent, but there are few
who cannot afford to buy five dollars worth of
stamps, and there are many who can afford to
take five hundred dollars worth. There are
families where it is possible to take five thousand
dollars worth, for while the individual may not
invest in more than one thousand dollars worth
of war savings stamps, each member of family
may take out investment.
A young working woman has solved her war
savings problem in way that is suggestive of
splendid results.
She is in position at this time, when forces
have been reduced, to secure extra pay for work
at night. She has taken this work to do as her
bit for her government and she is putting her
extra earnings into war savings stamps.
There is much need of extra workers in various
lines of business at this time, and her plan sug-
gests itself as an excellent one for others to fol-
low.

PAYING OUR DEBT.

Speaking of the meaning conveyed in the
presidents words, ito make democracy safe Dr.
George Lang, executive secretary of the ma
tiona council of defence, to Pensacola audience
quoted the opinion of Sir Henry Mayme, reputed
to be the greatest living authority on interna-
tional issues who said: 1.-THE last great stand
of democracy is in the United States. If it fails
there, democracy will be forever repudiated as
a form of government
In these words the great English authority
points the attention of the civilized world to this
ration. And at the same time, his ringing words
send challenge to this country.
1t is not too much to say that upon this coun-
try the hope of the world is placed In this coun-
try lies the only means of winning this war
against the forces of barbarism. If we fail
civilization must fail. If we carry this war to
victory, it does not mean merely the winning of
the war. 1t means the winning of the world to
righteousness, the victory of right over might.
IF it fails there, democracy will be forever
repudiated as form of government"
But because this nation is called to carry this
war to victory does not mean that the world has
waited upon this nation for salvation. If this
country has extended its hand of help to Bel
GUM and to France, to England and to Italy, let
Jus not forget that these countries saved us in
the first years of battle.
In the three days when the brave Belgians
fought against the hordes of the Huns and held
them, while that Contemplate little army of
the British at which the Kaiser sneered, was en-
abled to get across the channel, the United
States was no less the debtor of Belgium and
France and England.
Too long the people of this nation have re-
ferred to the entrance of the United States into
this war if the one motive were to save other
nations.
1t is true that the United States has entered
this war with the highest motives, with
no thought of conquest, with greed
|of power But it is not true that we have
entered this war only to save France from the
Hun. We have entered this that democracy
may not fail That it may not fail in our own
country. That it may not fail in any country.
And that with it's failure. civilization may not
perish from the earth.
Let Us not forget own debt to Belgium,
to France and to England. And let us pay that
debt by throwing into this every atora of
strength we have both here and across the seas

RED CROSS NOT Deferred.

The deliberate bombing of hospitals by Ger
man fers will not deter American nurses from
seeking service in France according to Miss Jane
A. Delano, director of the department of nurs-
ing of the Red Cross.
"The persistent bombing of Red Cross hos
pitfalls just as drive to obtain enrolment of
military nurses begins may be a coincidence .
said Miss Delano. IF, however the Germans
believe that such methods will have any effect in
lettering American nurses from volunteering
for hospital work, they are badly mistaken
Miss Delano is right in counting upon the
American in this hour of the nations
trial. AS she has risen to every need in the
pest, so will she respond today and tomorrow,

band, are doing theirs,-deterred only by death,

DISAPPEARANCE Of

A BOOMERANG.


material which the anti-prohibitionists will use
to fortify their precarious position, whether
evidence of the need of more drastic legisla-
ton against the use of intoxicants, the revela-
tions recently made in regard to drinking in the
halls of Congress is scandal in which this
nation can i'll afford to be involved at this time.
At an hour in our nations history, when there
is need for every man to give himself unreserv-
edly to the upholding of the honor of the coun-
try of which he is the representative, when over
the seas the youth of America is throwing it's
strength into the fight to keep safe the bulwarks
of this nation, that democracy may live, it be-
hooves the Congress to conduct its affairs along
the highest plane and to give to the business of
its government its undivided attention.
An inquiry has been started as a result of the
finding of twenty-nine empty whiskey bottles in
a lavatory of the office building of the house of
representatives. This exposure was made ap-
parenty with view to boosting the anti-pro-
hibitionist cause. But that it does so is to be
questioned.
Rather it brings to the attention of the people
of the United States matter that is common
talk in Washington, and should certainly be dis
countenanced If the representatives of the peo-
pie, the men who are sent to Washington, upon
whom at this time so much depends, may not be
counted upon to uphold the laws of the nation,
then these members should be expelled from the
congress of the United States.
Instead of the discovery provina weapon in
the hands of the ti-prohibitionists, it should
prove boomerang which will do more than any
thing else to promote the cause of prohibition.
Speaker Clark, who is chairman of the COM
mission in control of the House office building,
expressed surprise at the evidence" of drink
ing by members who are conscientious DIRECTORS
to the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors,
and said:
"They used to have bars here. In those days
members voted because they were too hot or be-
cause they were too cold. Then they used to
drink before they made speech and after they
made speech. Then they used to drink when
they had to listen to speech. Now, there is re-
markably little drinking among the members. /
thing to do with this matter"
However it may be looked upon with our coun-
try facing the greatest crisis in history, the
revelations just made in Washington are of little
credit to the nation.
If ever there was time when the nation is in
need of its every bit of strength every bit of in
telligence, every atom of power, it is today.
Whatever the motive for the publicity given
the finding of the empty whiskey bottles, and
the motive is questionable, the fact remains that
the finding could not be looked upon as creditable,
and the men who are leaving their country and
going out to offer up their lives to preserve the
honor of this nation, can hardly take any great
pride in the dispatches which are being flashed
about the country heralding national disgrace.
