URGES WAR ON TURKEY

The American Defense Society has sent to
President Wilson the following brief pointing
out why the United States should declare war
against Turkey and Bulgaria Immediately.
1.-THE American Defense Society deems it ex-
pedient at this juncture to make statement
very respectfully urging the Government to de-
clare on Bulgaria and Turkey. Unless this
is done American troops cannot be placed at the
disposal of the commander-in-chief of the allied
forces to be sent against nations with which we
are not at war. If American aid is needed in
any of these connections it can only be afforded
after a state of war shall be declared to exist.
Turkeys savage and brutal treatment of her
oppressed peoples, has put her outside the pale
of civilized nations and the United States has
just cause for declaring war on Turkey. She
has paid respect to the American flag and
is reported to have destroyed American mission
airy property, including it's hospital and dis
pensary. Prior to the news of this occupation
cable was received through the state depart
nent announcing that further Geographic in
formation might not be possible that the Turks
were at the gate and that all the missionaries
had left except two Americans, one a physician
and the other minister, who stuck to their
posts for the purpose of preserving the mission
plant. The government has not as yet received
a satisfactory explanation for this outrage from
the Turkish government
The American Defense Society also thinks
that the moral effect of declaration of war will
be important, and it is urged that an expedition
landed north of Jaffa could cut off the troops now
being sent to attack Gen. Allenby in the Holy
Land
The last suggestion weakens strong petition.
When any organization of civilians attempts to
suggest tactics to the allied war council it is
stepping far beyond the bounds of it's province
and places itself in class with the cracker box
strategists who would direct Gen. Foch from the
shady porch of the village store.

Full Enrolment
Graduate Nurses
Very Urgent Need

In conducting the campaign to en-
roll nurses for active military service,
to enroll those who are not able to
serve with the military establishment
| for the Home Defense Service, ana to
Increase the enrolment of student
| nurses in the training school, consid-
| cradle pioneer work has been neces-
sary throughout the division. Each
chapter was communicated with and a
request made to- appoint a special en-
rolling committee composed Of nurses.
physicians and chapter officials, whose
| duties would include list of all grad
uate and registered nurses in the jur-
isdiction of the champter, and personal
/ communication with each nurse so
listed. and the provision of an ecces-
sible place for enrolment and the dis
tribution of materials and information.
Where chapters have not appointed
these committees they have failed in
one of their most important missions.
The full enrolment of all graduate
nurses is vitality necessary to our COM
munities at home as well as to the
supply of nurses for our oldiers and
sailors. Where only one or two nurses
are located in a county, it is obviously
unwise to remove the entire number,
and only by complete registration
and enrolment can We select nurses
where they are available in larger
| numbers, and leave the communities
where there are smaller numbers pro-
vided for.
A report has been received from
less than half Of the chapters, and the
somewhat astonishing results show
that in about one hundred and forty
counties throughout the division (and
we realize that this is a very incom>
plete report), there is not a single
nurse within the jurisdiction of the
county chapter. In all these commune
tiles the prevention of disease and the
promotion of health and sanitary con-
ditions is, therefore, especially neces-
sary. and the courses in elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick and
in dietetics and first aid should be
stressed by the chapters. Educational
committees should be appointed at
once and classes organized.
AS the need of nurses in the army
is so great and viii be more and more
so as the war goes on, it is desired that
as much public health and educational
work as possible be done by the Home
Defense Nurses to relieve women now
serving in such capacities who are
eligible for army service. In addition
they must assume the responsibility
for the instruction of the educational
classes organized by the chapters. If
your chapter has no educational com
mittee. please appoint chairman at
your next executive meeting, and send
her name to the bureau OF nursing
who will then arrange for instructors
and the supervision of this work.
Supplementary material for classes
| in dietetics has been made available
in the conservation of food during
war time, and the preparation of large
amounts of food for emergencies, dis
asters and refreshment stations.

may be strengthened as it can only be through
the right at education of all its people. [ APP
prove most heartily your plans for making
through the Bureau of Education "a conpre-
hensiye campaign fcs the support of the schools
and for the maintenance of attendance upon
them, and trust that you may have the co-opera-
ton in this work of the American Council of
Education"
The government fully appreciates the value of
education to the youth of the country and is
urging that so far as possible all boys and girls
who have been employed during the vacation pc
Rod return to their studies in the fall. And be-
cause education adds to the value of every man
in the winning of the war, it is announced that
boys of Is and 10 who may be called in the
draft will be assigned to schools for special
training.
The United States is going about this serious
business of war in a systematic, intelligent man
ner which far over-shadows the much vaunted
German efficency-and education is rightly one
of the most important items on the program

PRESIDENT WILSON FOR WARTIME
SCHOOLS

President Wilson urges generous support for
schools of all grades during time. In
letter to Secretary Lane approving the Bureau
of Education's plan for an educational campaign
this summer and fall he says:
81 am pleased to know that despite the UNI
usual burdens imposed upon our people by the
war they have maintained their schools and
other agencies of education so nearly at their
normal efficiency. That this should be continued
throughout the war and that, in so far as the
draft law will permit, there should be no fall
ing off in attendance in elementary schools, high
schools or colleges is matter of the very great
est Importance, affecting both our strength in
the war is over. So long as the war continues
t4Iere will be constant need of very large numbers
of men and women of the highest and most thor
ough training for service in many lines
After the war there will be urgent need not only
for trained leadership in all lines of industrial
commercial, social and civic life, but for very
high average of intelligence and preparation on
the part of all the people. I would therefore
urge that the people continue to give generous
support to their schools of all grades and that
the schools adjust themselves as wisely as pos
sible to the new conditions to the end that no
boy or girl shall have less opportunity for edu-
cation because of the war and that the Nation

SPEND THE BOND MONEY WISELY.

I'm approving the bond issue the taxpayers
have evidenced their confidence in Pensacola's
future.
They have assumed a heavy obligation in order
to keep faith with the steel shipbuilding plant
TO the last degree and, also, to remove every OBJ
stacle from the path of Pensacola's expansion
The splendid vote in favor of the bonds is
proof Of Pensacola's faith in itself
The votes against the issue were prompted,
almost without exception, not by opposition to
the issue SO much as through fear that the
money might noe be properly handled.
That danger does exist, but if the city COM
missioners are sincere they will effectively guard
against it.
With no reflection upon their good intentions,
not one of them is considered competent to ex-
pend so large However, good their quail
fcations may be in other lines, probably none
will be so bold as to claim that they are qualified
as financiers. Two of the commissioners have
said that in all important undertakings they
would wish to have the assistance and co-opera-
tion Of committee composed of specially quail
fed citizens.
The commissioners could make no move more
popular than appointment of such committee for
disbursement of the bond money.
In selecting the committee politics should
stand adjourned. The members should be chosen
because of their fitness, based upon their ex-
perience in financial affairs-men who will make
certain til full value will be received for every
dollar expended.
The taxpayers have done their part in making
the funds available-it is now up to the commits
sioners to do their part by giving assurance that
the money will be properly spent

We are at war. There are three necessary things to do. First, We must have sol diers; second, we must have supplies; third. We need means to purchase these supplies. :" Thus spoke L. H. Pederseu, of the Skagway Four Minute Men, to an audience in the Popular Picture Palace Saturday night

SECRETARY T0 COL. BOYLE
 TELLS 0F WAR IN EUROPE

Among the recent people passing through Skagway was John Kennal- ly lr,, field secretary to Col. J.. W. Boyle, of tEe Canadian Militia, who tells about conditions in Rus la. i.I ,II
 MT. Kennally came direct from Petrograd to London, then across the Atlantic, over the North Ameri- can continent, and from Seattle to Skagway on the Jefferson. He had many interesting experiences while in Europe.
 For one month MT. Kennally was in Petrograd with Col. Boyle for the purpose of rendering assistance to the Russian government in the installation of light military rail ways at and behind the Russian battlefront. For two months MT. Kennally was cu the Russian south and western battle lines. While in Russia he saw the Death Battalion" of women who fought in Petrograd and other places in an effort to shame the men.
 He tells of treachery on the part of retreating German forces who, he said, in evacuating quarters and houses would leave apparently good shoes, boots, rifles or other things for the advancing army to pick up. However these would all be attached so that the moving of them would set off dynamite or bombs, blowing everything in the immediate vicinity to atoms.
 MT. Kennally tells of raids on London by German Taubes and di- rigibles, which he says are awful in the havoc and terror that they create. He says the German nation will not stop such despicable work until the Allies fly oyer Germany and kill the innocent in that land.
 Mir Kennally brought back with him many beautiful pictures of Rus, sia, Finland, and other places ot interest over there. In coming tC London he went by rail from Pet rograd to Finland, around the Gulf of Bothnia and down south thru
