WOMEN ASSIST IN
TICK ERADICATION

Tallahassee, Sept Naturalization
of the cattle fever ticks from Florida
was emphasized by number of
speakers at the War College for Wo-
men. held here during the past ten
days. The following resolution was
presented by Miss Agnes Ellen Har-
ris, state home demonstration agent.
and unanimously adopted:
Since the women in Florida are
deeply interested in the welfare of the
children of Florida and the health of
her people, and since milk IS an essen
tial part of the diet, but is lacking in
hundreds of homes in the state; and
since the greatest hindrance to the
work of increasing the use of milk by
the people of Florida is the cattle tick;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the members of the
womars committee OF the Council of
National Defense, representing sixteen
wonen's organizations, promise all as
sistance possible to the State Live
stock Sanitary Board and the repre-
sentatives of the United States Bureau
ofSAnimal Industry, in their campaign
for eradication of the cattle fever
ticks
Officers of the Florida Federation Of
Women's clubs plan to have the con-
servation committees n. every county
where elections will be held for the
purpose of voting for systematic
eradication of the cattle ticks, take
active interest in arousing sentiment
for the proposition.
Such elections will be held on No
vem be&,5, IN number of West Florida
Counties. and if the voters will cast
their ballots as the club women re-
quest, the ticks will be outIawed from
those counties.

FRANK MARSTON

In the loss of Frank Marston, whose death oc-
Cured at his home on North Twelfth Avenue on
Saturday morning, not only Pensacola. but the
entire county, has suffered bereavement.
Few men have ever made the impress upon
community that this man of staunch integrity
and answering loyalty has made, and the men,
DRY which he leaves of years consecrated to
simple, strong, high principles. will serve as an
inspiration to many lives
Mr. Marston had been in business in Pensacola
for nearly thirty years, and his practice of the
highest business ethics; his devotion to duty and
his quiet Chistian character, found expression in
many channels.
On the declaration of war against Germany by
the United States government, it was matter
of the keenest pride with him that he had given
two sons to the service of his country.
One of these sons, and his namesake, Frank R.
Marston, was among the first to sacrifice his life
for the principles of liberty, in the great drive
on the western front and those who hold fast to
the faith in an All-Wise and just God, must feel
that father and son are today united and re-
joicing in that ultimate victory of right against
might, which such as they have made possible.
Not much is left to do for those whom we seek
to honor. The soldier son, the first Pensacolian
to be killed in action. the city has planned to
honor throug of the city parks, which viii
honor through one of the city parks, which will
bear his name. The father has reared his own me-
mortal, year after year, in the simple, unaffected,
ample set by hm-a memorial made imperish-
oil dad on he and of
his feIlowmen.

HAIG PREDICTS VICTORY


There is great encouragement in the state
ment of Field Marshal Haig that Germany's eff
fort is spent and that the dark days through
which the allied armies have passed VIII never
return.
General Haig is careful in his speech and Is
not given to enthusiastic, unfounded utterances
His remarks in this instance are based upon
the glorious accomplishments of the allies
which not only checked the great German OF
fensiye. but turned it into triumphant series OF
victories.
said:
1.-The capture of rs. 900 prisoners and 75O guns
in the course of four weeks fighting speaks for
the magnitude of your efforts and the magnif-
cence of your achievement.
"My thanks are due to all ranks of the fight
ing forces for their indomitable spirit in defence
and their holiness in attack: to all commanders
and their staff officers under whose able direction
such great results have been attained, and also
to all those whose unsparing labors behind the
actual fighting line have contributed essentially
to the common cause. To have commanded this
splendid army which at time of grave crises has
nobly done its duty fills me with PRIDE
over and that victory is certain for the allies.
He then predicted that the dark days are
His views shared by the other allies lead
ers. They belive Germany may make anothex
desperate onslaught, but the belief is general
that it will lack the force and impetus of the
previous attempts to break through to the coast
Observers say that this does not mean early
termination of the war, as Germany is certain
to offer fierce resistance when forced back from
French soil. But it means that from now the
Huns will be on the defensive and it is only
question of time when their defense will crumble,
opening the way to Berlin and peace.

to man, is living to purpose.
Where loquaciousness once held forth and
summoned sundry chuckles, brevity replaces
levity and smiles succeed loud laughs.
This does not mean that the solemnity of war
should depress us. Rather, we may well be
elated with Freedom, For ALL Forever now in
sight But that elation has no relation to

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE careers of
Generals Pershing and Crowder have
followed remarkable parallel from the
time of their births.
They originated in adjoining coun-
ties in Missouri-Lynn and Grandy-
and are within a year Of the same age.
Both We're appointed cadets at West
Point. Crowder going first.
Both We're commissioned second
lieutenants In the cavalry, and saw
their first service together in the Ger
onimo Indian campaign.
Lieutenant Crowder was detailed as
instructor OF military tactics at the
University OF Missouri. Lieutenant
Pershing received similar assignment
at the University OF Nebraska
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-09-15

Both studied law and graduated with
law degrees.
In the campaign against the Sioux in
the early nineties they were together
again.
Both served in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, and both went as u. s. mill
tary representatives to Japan during
the Russo-Japanese war.
Crowder was appointed major in
1895, when he was made judge advocate
of the regular army, while ing
jumped from captain to brigadier gen.
eral.
Both now hold the maximum rank
possible by law to the offices they hold
Pershing full general and Crowder

can be held by an officer attached
to staff corps duty.
Washington. Sept. i4-"EnocN-the
name signifies dedication.
Enoch H. Crowder, major general, u
S. A, provost marshal general and
judge advocate general of the Ameri-
can army, and the Genius of the
Draft, has dedicated himself to max
ing this country the greatest military
power on the face of the earth.
He is the man whose hand before
next summer will have reached into
four million American homes ana TAX
en- from them. their best young men
for the army.
To the close study which he has
made of consumption since 1888 is due
the entire credit for the success or the
first, the second and now the third
draft Of Americas manhood
Where He Got Idea.
When General Crowder was Junior
lieutenant at an obscure army post in
Texas in 1888 he CHANGED upon copy
Of old Civil War draft regulations.
He read them over, first out of Curl
osity. Then he began to think how
those reules should have been made
more just and equitable.
Gradually he evolved his ideas OF
how draft should be run and with
the idea came the conviction that some
day in this country there would be the
need of great army. and that this
army would be raised, not from vol
unteers but by process Of selection
from the total man power of the coun-
try.
Meanwhile Crowder was advancing
in the army step by step.
Baker Gives Him Credit.
When the United States entered the
war General Crowder was the one
man in the army who was ready to
go before Congress with a concrete
suggestion for the framing of a selec-
tive draft law.
The result has been that where in
the Civil War the draft riots and gen.
eral public resentment at the unfair
ness of the law resulted in only 1891
men being indicted into the army out
of total of nearly 100000 men drafted,
the law which was prepared almost
entirely by General Crowder has been
administered almost without COM
plant.
Crowder himself disclaims all credit
for the draft law, but Secretary of
War Baker has said:
NO one knows so well as / to whom
we are indebted for the seiective SER
vice law in all It's bearings. its con-
ception as well as its complex admin
istration. The man to whom we owe
the most in this respect is Crowder."
