BALLOON SCHOOL
MAY COME HERE

That Pensacola maybe chosen as
the location for the war balloon school
to be located somewhere in the south,
seems more than probability. Sena-
tor Duncan U. Fletcher, among other
prominent Floridians, having recently
interested himself to place Pensacola's
claims before the authorities in Wash
ington.
According to recent dispatches, Sec
rotary Daniels contemplates the estab-
lishment of a balloon school in the
south, and Pensacola would seem to be
the logical point. The Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce has been work
ing for some time along this line. and
the fact that already a number of bal
looms are in use at the naval air sta
ton would seem to be good reason
why Pensacola should receive recogni-
ton from the government.

DRIVE AGAINST
COOTEs HEADED
BY COOTENTANT

Washington, D. C. Sept. i6-The
stars and Stripes" the newspaper
published for the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France, recently
printed the following regarding the
work of former members of the scien-
tific staff of the Biological survey,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture:
las you may have heard five or
eleven times already this is a scien-
tific war; Whenever an annoyance or
an actual menace to the army is dis
lowered. scientific steps are taken 20
annihilate the pest.
Even the "cootie is doomed. It is
said that the research work is in
charge of an officer to be designated
as Gootenant. But this story is about
rats
THE rat figuratively is about to
be trapped. A year or so ago there
was mana member of the Biologi-
cal Survey-who had great success in
DISCRIMINATING the prairie dogs out in
kansa and Colorado. When America
came into the war, somebody in the
War Department suggested that maybe
this scientific eXterminator OF prairie
dogs was so good at that jab he might
be able to solve the rat problem in
the trenches. So. they ordered him
over here to give the rats critical
and microscopic look
.'He came over and went up front
and studied the rodent. He studied
it by the large. hither and yon, here
and there, and through and through.
He found out what it liked for supper,
and its favorite flower and how 1t
cared for its young. And he doped out
way to lessen its ravages il not ac-
tually to exterminate it.
He found out too. that not all the
rat trouble is at the front. A large
part of 1T is at the base ports, where
the rats get into the big storehouses.
and cause damage to the food and
clothing waiting to go to the front.
Often the rats go right along up with
the food and clothing
The rat specialist made his report
and recommended that some men be
sent to assist him. 1t is said that his
request has been granted and that a
successful barrage against the rat al
ready has been laid down.

GERMANY NEEDS RUBBER

The war trade board have instructed all rubber
manufacturers to caution their customers
both retailers and jobbers-that substantial
lots of crude rubber, are being struggled out of
this country to the ultimate benefit of the enemy
and to request them to take the most stringent
precautions in selling rubber goods to unknown
persons. That the matter is serious is indicated
by the fact that manufacturers are instructed to
publish the following section from the Espionage
Act
Any person who shall export ship or take out,
or deliver or attempt to deliver for export ship
ment, or taking out, any article in violation of
this title, or of any regulation or order made
hereunder, shall be fined not more than $4,000
or, if a natural person, imprisoned for not more
than two years, or both; and any article so deli
vered or exported shipped, or taken out, or so
ATTEMPTED to be delivered or exported. shipped. or
taken out, shall be seized and forfeited to the
United States; and any officer, director, or agent
OF corporation who participates in any such vio-
lation shall be liable to like fine or Imprisonment.
or both.''
Germany has become so hard pressed for rub
Der that it is believed to be offering attractive in
ducements to smugglers, some of whom pose as
sailors.
Local druggists are keeping a strict watch
ON all purchasers of rubber who are unknown
to them and it is quite certain that Germany will
get none of that essential war material through
this port.

WILSON AIDS ZION MOVEMENT

The Zionist movement has received great i'm
etus from the undertaking of this country, in CO.
ooerat:on with Great Britain, France and Italy,
to afford protecting auspices under which the
jewish nation be re-estabshed with it's own self
government in the historic land of Palestine.
The movement now is unhampered by what
for years was its greatest obstacle, namely, the
sovereignty OF the Turks over the Holy Land
Now the Turk has been overthrow and in any
settlement of the of the terms on which
tie allies will insist will be this opportunity for
the Jewish nation to re-establish their nation
atty in the land from which they have been for
COCO years e1iled.
The first national recognition and assurance
after the fall of Jerusalem came from the British
Foreign Minister Balfour who promised the sup
lN,rt of the British government for the establish
nlent in Palestine Of national home for the
Jewish people This promise followed by
similar assurances from France and Italy, and
the United States is considered to have
spoken through the letter addressed by President
Wilson to Rabbi Steven S. Wise of the Zionist
committee in which the president congratulates
the Jewish people on the opportunity afforded
under the British promise of protection and ex-
Iresscs his hope that this country will join in
forwarding the national movement
The Zionist movement is about 40 years old
It's purpose Is set out in what is known as the
Basle Declaration. namely, "the establishment
Of g publicly recognized and locally secured home
land Of the Jewish people in Palestine"
The zionists make it clear that it is not the in
tenton that ali Jews shall return nor is it -
inten ion that any shall return who are not de-
s-rous TO DO SO.
There arc about $4,000 Jews who have success
fully colonized the land and there are in all about
100000 III the country.
The return of Palestine to the Jewish people
has the full approval of all of the allies and
Is war result in which practically the entire
world will concur.

mcdonnell TELLS
OF RELIEF WORK
OF THE RED CROSS

That the civilian relief work of the
American Red Cross in this section has
grown to proportions beyond even
what was expected by those at the
head of the Pensacola branch of this
work, and most closely associated with
its activities, is the statement of Lee
MacDonell, chairman of the civilian re-
lief committee OF the Pensacola Chap
ter.
Mr.. MacDonell,- who has Just return

organization, and that officials In
Washington freely paid tribute 10 the
splendid results accomplished in this
section.
Through the civilian relief commit
tee of the local chapter, from three
hundred to six hundred persons are
aided each month. the assistance COW
ering a wide field.
Mr., MacDonell, in speaking Of the
workers with whom he came in con-
tact while in Atlanta and Washington,
declared that it was diff1cult for the
man who was not closely associated
with the work to realize how great
was the accomplishment and with
what favor the United States govern
ment looks upon the efforts of the
American Red Cross, In its own special
field.
During the absence of Mr.. MacDonell,
the civilian relief work, as well as that
OF military relief. was under the direc-
ton OF w. K. Hyer, chairman of the

ing in Tallahassee, at which twenty
five chapters We're represented, with
from four to twelve members from
each chapter. Other representatives
from Pensacola We're Mrs. Hyer and
Mrs. n. F. Mitchell, chairman Of the
canteen service Of the local chaputer.
Mr.. Hyer stated yesterday afternoon
that the work Of the women OF the
southwestern division has been such
as to have more than met the allot-
ments in surgical dressings, ana that
the division Is now being called upon
to contribute to relief work in Belgium
and northern France, and Pensacola
women are being urged to aid in this
work
1t has also been decided by those in
authority to enlist the aid OF the Red
Cross in repairing the clothing of SOL
diers Such clothing will be sterilized,
and sent to the chapters in the var
ious sections OF the country, and wo-
! men will be asked to put these gar
ments in order.

CONCRETE SHIPS CONSERVE STEEL

Reports from reinforced concrete shipyards in
England, Scotland, and Ireland show that good

4 TRIBUTE TO THE .Y''

A TRIBUTE TO THE "Y''
One of the brilliant Newspaper Enterprise
Association writer's whose editorials on the war
have been read all around the world, is author Of
the following splendid tribute to the work of the
Y M. C. A.
Colonel Wheeler says: that he'd rather have
ono army men with .sY7' than thousand men
with none. Pershing endorses the,conclusion.
.Thesemen are speaking of the relation of the
'eY'' to the morale. Wheeler says the y" makes
sebetter fighters" It's not hard to understand
for anyone who has had experience with Y. M G.
A. activities When the writer was an under-aged,
understood youth, someone. gave him annual
membership in the ssY."
He mightsnever have joined had it not been for
the gift, for his salary was just about what the
soldier-boy's is today, and he had never been
religiously inclined. Like many others, he
thought the Y M. C. A. was something religious.
1t was and lis, but not as he thought.
.In perhaps ten years of daily 'eY'' activities,
he hardly ever heard the word religion" men-
toned. Certainly oftener than in the office
where he worked, for example. The religion of
the "Y'' is the religion of service. 1t aims to
give the youth, of the race what they need, what
ever that may be.
This youth needed physical training and he got
it in the gym. Muscularly, he was tinid and
backward, for it so happened he had never rough
ed it much with other boys and he didn't know
himself. He would have made an athlete,
but he was soon able to take care of himself
with the gloves, in physical games, etc.-and of
course he gained in health and strength, which
has stayed with him always. He wanted some
thing mental, too, and he got the chance to study
shorthand, German, business arithmetic, public
speaking and even little Greek and music
Maybe he learned little, but he got the mental
exercise. Above all, he made friendships which
first met at the "Y." Such personal experience
is common, but most of us don't stop to sum it
| up and to give credit.
what the "Y' did for the writer. it is doing
for the soldier-boys of France, and in the canto-
nments here, in its adaptable way.
Again it is giving them what they need.
| Instead of physical training, of which they get
| full plenty, it gives them rest and recreation
play and companionshp, inspiration and under
| standing. Out of it all comes better morale and
| better morality.
| Whenever you have half chance to help the
''Y'' work in the camps, here or abroad don't
shrink and don't shirk. The "Y'' is worthy of
! all you can do for it,

STEEL AIT new
HIGH FOR YEAR
Stock Leader in Market
Strengthened by
War News.
by BRoADAs WALL.

New York. Aug. 8.-stocks closed
steady today with net gains In some
issues. The war news was inspiring
and the profit-taking that developed
was small. U. 9. Steel was leader
and made new high price for the
year. Others that made new high
prices were Railway steel Springs.
Steel Foundries. Rumiey preferred
and Burns Brothere.
Cotton was erratic because OF the
Hight crop now expected, combined
with the hope of peace before another
crop can be harvested. II opened
lower but advanced about 81 bale
after which II reacted nearly half
that Options closed strong from 81
to IS q bale higher. General Motors
had further break Of twelve points.
Money Conditions Unchanged.
Money conditions continued un-
changed. but with sufficient funds TO
do business transacted. Brokers' loans
are SO small that they put no strain
on the market. The buying now be-
ing done is largely for investment
and calls for no great banking ac-
commOoauons.
Much interest was displayed in the
meeting OF steel men to consider an
increase of output and in the Mexican
oil situation concerning which there
was also q meeting.
The decline OF General Motors Is
generally believed to mean that the
corner In ended and that the plungers
who made II necessary have covered
their short contracts. A few weeks
ago. however, the stock had a break
of the same kind from which Il re-
covered to prices higher than It had
made before.
Strength Of Steel was due in part
to disclosure Of the fact that the
big corporation had laid aside about
$50. 900. 900 too much for its 1917 taxes
Good buying Of Republic Steel also
made its appearance early in the day.
Marine preferred was sold down al
the opening Of the market. but quick
ly recovered and advanced beyond the
price Of the previous day.
Selling British Ships.
While there Is much discussion OF
the stock market methods OF the in.
siders, IL is an admitted fact that the
| company is trying hard to sell II.
British ships. The reason is that ship
ping Ii to be nationalized after the
war and no company organized in
one country wants ships under an
other flag.
Pierce Oil stock was strong on the
curb as a preliminary to Its introduc-
ton to the New York stock Exchange
trading list.
Underlying the present strength OF
the stock market Is the belief tina;
the retreat OF Germans now In prog
ress Is the beginning OF the last act
OF the great war. The market Is a
victory market and the Forthcoming
bond issue will be in reality a victory
bond.
