HISTORY REPEATS.

That Germany should be planning it's next
war, even before terms Of peace are determined
following the last conflict, is not entirely surprs-
ing. History is simply repeating itself.
German historians tell us that more than one
hundred years ago, following the defeats of Auer-
stadt and Jena, while the Hohenzollern ruler
was pleading with Napolean to restore lost prov
inces and tighten indemnities, Germany was bus
lily engaged in forming a corps of vengence.
Leaders were preaching to the populace:
Henceforth, must not wait until the gener-
ais call us; ourselves must be generals and
organize armies-everyone after his own fash
lon AS we n ave no standing army, we must
form Independent corps. Every Prussian must
turn consprator, and prevail on his neighbor to
JON the great conspiracy; secret leagues must be
instituted everywhere, and work and agitate I'M
til we are united like man, and, with the
restless power of the holy wrath, bring victory
to Germany"
with the record of the past before us, we will
not be surprised that Germany hesitates to con-
vert her airplane factories to the production of
peace-tlme utilities on the ground that Germany
should possess aircraft in sufficient numbers "to
lace the dangers that may menace her in coming
years"
Inc American and Allied peoples NAV have
suspected that Germany had had enough of war
but 1t is mistake to suppose that the German
leopard changed its spots overnight From the
cradle the Germans have been taught to believe
mat they are the earth's greatest people that
tney nave been chosen by the Almighty to DOM
mate the world; that militarism is holy thing,
and that only through war can they fulfill their
duties and obligations to God and the Father
land. And what has been bred in the German
oole can not be driven from the German mind in
day or by gentle means

A NEW CHRISTMAS SPI 1T.

No more beautiful spirit has ever been shown
in Pensacola than the singing of Christmas car
,,=ols before city homes where lighted candle in
. the window signiied the desire of someone with
in, that service men should sing before that
home. No doubt the service men who volun-
= teered were made to feel well repaid for their
q part of the program. Certainly much credit is
due the War Camp Community Service for origi-
mating the idea and carrying it out here.
It does not take much of an imagination to
drift back in ones mind to childhood days, when
Mother took us on her knee and told us how the
angels sang of peace mode than nonetee hundred
years ago. Nor does it stretch the memory to
go back to days when each of us has put light
ed candle in the window or hung an empty stock
ing by the fireside and skipped to bed in high
hopes.
In the happiness of the Christmastide it is
well for those of us who fortunate to
think of the many who on Christmas eve may
have lighted candle or hung up an empty stock
ing, to awake in the morning light of a proverty
stricken home to find that nothing had come of
it.
So repeat that no more beautiful thought
has ever been worked out in Pensacola than the
response which came with the singing of real
Christmas carols before the candle lighted win
dows, here, on Christmas eve. No doubt it
kindled the light of faith in the eyes of many
youngster in Pensacola, who had begun to doubt
the truth of Christmas legends
~ Imagine yourself in one of these homes where
riches has not brought it's blessings. Think of
the little children who placed lighted candle in
the window at the direction of Mother in whom
they have every faith before gathering about
her knee to hear the old, old story, and the new
er one, of what the lighted candle meant. Imag-
Inc their happy surprise when Christmas car
OILS were heard in the night, after these little
ones had been taucked away in bed to await
sleeplessly, sounds of Santa Claus. Who shall
say that their faith in humanity shall not be
greater in the future because of this? Who
VIII deny that the service man was not at his best
when on such mission of peace, in keeping
with the Christmas tide?

AMERICA LEADS IN PRODUCTION.

Interesting information is derived from sta
tstics comparing the productiveness of workers
of the several nations which will compete for the
worlds trade during the next few years.
America, conceded to be the weathiest nation
of the EARTH leads in production as well as wealth
|, of raw material
\ Great Britain ranks near the top among ma
tions, yet the present use of motive power, e.,
steam, electricity, machinery, etc. is twice as
great in American industries it is in British
industries The authority for this statament is
the London Times. This explains the higher
wage of the American workingman compared
with that of the foreign workers
Coal is one of the greatest industries of Great
Britain. By coal it has commanded the seas. Its
coaling stations dot the trade channels of the
oceans.
For years the coal production per man in Great
Britain has been declining. For many years the
coal production per man in America has been
increasing.
Look at the figures
In 1902 the coal production of the United
Kingdom per miner twas 282 tons per annum
in 1912, it was 244 tons, and in 1917 it 249
tons.
In 1902 the coal production in the United
States per miner was $50 tons per annurn, in
1872 $50 tons, and 1917 it reached the unpre
cedented total of 819 tons.
The American coal miner produces three times
much the British miner.
Once more the authority for this statement is
the London Times.
Other comparisons of production per man per
year heavily in favor of the workers of the
United States, the figures for shoes being $1,000
against $1,000; clothing, $1,000 against $3.50;
hosiery, 81 600 against $3.50 hats 500 against
$3.50.
The explanation of the high production of the
American worker is in the higher use of power
power that is expressed in steam, electricity, ma
chinery and high-class tools.
One of the greatest truths labor has to learn
is that the larger the use of labor saving ma
chinery, the larger the profit to labor, for labor
saving machinery, instead of reducing the en-
ployment of labor, increases it, because it cheap
ems the cost of production so much that it
swells production enormously.
American labor is the best labor in the world
today. Americas industrial establishment is
more highly developed and better managed than
that of any other nation.
The basis of winning world trade is the pro-
duction of the American laborer.
The larger the production of the American
worker, the more prosperous will labor be and
will America be-

Some food will be sent into Poland,

England, France, italy are Safe.
Half of Serbia's pre-war population
already has died Of starvation, asserts
the food administration, and a fourth
of Poland has died of famine Super
human efforts will be made to get food
to them now, to save those left alive.
Arrangements long ago were made
to feed England, France and Italy this
winter. They can be more easily
reached.
The food Administrations has we'll
laid plans for feeding Belgium, Ru-

to get food to the Czechs. Jugo- Slavs
and peoples of the disrupted dual
monarchy.
Hungary will not feel hunger. for
Hungary, with Denmark, Scandinavia.
Ukraine. Bulgaria, Turkey and south
ern Russia, are fairly well equipped
for winter. No American food will
go to them.
Germany is better supplied with
food than its neighhors. In Austria,
Russian famine conditions will pre-
vail unless America aids.
The food admin stration has about
given up hope of saving the 10000, 900
from hunger deaths and will concen-
trate efforts in keeping starvation out
Of countries which can be reached with
shipping facilities.
But, to keep more millions from

ton, st is absolutely necessary that |
the United States increase food ex-
ports from 10000 tons OF last year
to 100000 tons this year"
Already, hundreds Of. food carrying
ships are headed toward the Uni. ed
States to get supplies from our food |

the food surplus of the world. |
