CAMP MEADE SENDS

Camp Meade, admiral Md, Aug g.
Sentence Of death has been pronounced
on all the cats and dogs ia this camp The
edict OF prescription against them has
been issued officially and preparations for
the executions Of all CANNES and fclInes
are gong teadIlv on. Within tho next few
DAYS the Camp Meade cat and dog pound

more will be heard the yelplng and the
meowing Of Rover and Tabby and Tom
To an old army man, Lieutenant vii
liam T. Yetton, commander Of the stock
ade. will be given the job OF supervision
of executions The lieutenant Will send
forth his scouts 10 round up the pre-
scribed ones and 10 carry them 20 the
death house All prisoners seized will be
held "a hours 10 give their owners q
chance 10 put in their appearance and
claim them All such owners must give a
guarantee that they Will remove their
pets from the reservation and never let
them return.
The davs Of dog and cat nascots are
past and there is genuine gloom among
the men OF course, there were only a
few cats around this place but at times
there have been as many as 40 or 30 dogs
They have been real pals TO the fellows
and n source of much JOY, but the hard
hearted military authorities consider them
both nuisance and q menace especially
In summer time, when the dogs are sub
jert not only to feas but to other ailments,
the most dangerous OF which is hydro
phobia.
An exodus Of dogs has been going on
for the last few days. Some Of the CANNES
have travelled TO Baltimore and Washing
ton and other places in automobiles and
are now in the care Of their temporary
masters. Their real owners will make fly
ing visits TO these towns from time to time
to see their pets, whom hey will take over
again after the war is over.
Lieutenant Yetton has bigger JOB on
hand now than the determination OF the
dogs and cats. He is looking around for
80 staIwart men who combine the quail
ties of Hercules and Adonls to form
special guard at the stockade. The leu
tenant wants every one Of the guards to
be s feet tall and to be broad Of shoulder
and muscular They will be regular shock
troops who will be able 10 do anything In
the way of preserving order, no matter
how tempestous things may become at
times-nOt that any trouble is expected,
but merely as a warning that if anybody
wants TO start something, the faithful 80
will be ready Lieutenant lctton IS
especially desirous of getting former po-
hcemen and old army men ior his force.

ALL AMERICANS NOW

A Londoner recently wrote to London daily
protesting because Canadian soldiers had been
called Americans" in it's pages. The editor sol
EMMY and patiently wrote reply explaining that
Canada was as much part of North America as
the United States, and even larger part.
sary for London newspaper to explain this to its
readers in this enlightened day. but that this dis
tinction of nationality should be made between
Canadian soldiers and those of the United States
Of course for purposes of military organization
the two armies must be distinct but for purposes
of winning the war, we're all AMERICANS now.
There is no army in the field that so closely re-
sembles own in personnel and in fighting
ability as the Canadian. Men of both armies are
stalwart, healthy, outstanding Americans of the
best manhood of North America. Their likes
and dislikes, even their army slang are the same.
They smoke the same brand of cigarets and
maybe they even write to the same girls.
That's one reason why the Canadian soldier
feels drawn toward his brother from below the
Great Lakes
The most important reason is that the quicker
the allied armies on the western front are weld
ed into one, in fact well theory and in COM
mand, the quicker will they win this war.
Benjamin Franklin's famous declaration, 1--WE
must all hang together, or assuredly we will all
hang separately holds good today of all the
armies that are fighting Terrorism and Hunish-
ness.
We must consider ourselves, at home and at
the front, as all British, all French, all Bel
gians-and above everything, all AMERICANS.

Pensacola soon, going with a unit from
New Orleans, stated that she did not
think the Pensacola nurses would
leave with those from New Orleans,
but it was expected that they would
leave for foreign duty at no distant
date.
In addition to the names of those
already published in Tr.~ Journal has
been added that of Miss Georgia Coll
Inns. Others who volunteered some
time ago with Mrs. Quina are Miss
Crystal worden, Miss Hansen PeteA-
son, Miss Rebecca Taylor Mist Brew
ton. Mrs. Ada Mcneil Robbins.
In connection with nursing in PEN
s3cola. it may be stated that the Board
of Graduate Nurses OF the State of
Florida. have recently made it oblga-
tory for all nurses who are members
of that association to register at the
Pensacola hospital, all graduates.
therefore who can show the required
credentials viii be registered, the pub
lie will have TO take on their own
recommendation, as it is tire ruling OF
the state association that their accred /,
tied nurses be so registered. This is
a state. and not a local order. and
will be carried out by the registered
nurses here in accordance with the
state ruling.

ONE OF THE MILLIONS

To write about all the soldiers over there who
deserve place on the wars Honor Roll would
mean writing long after the kaiser has gotten
his licking. But once in while it is we'll to
direct attention to one of the millions in the
trenches.
Take, for example, the heroic deed of
Lieutenant Harry Thorner.
He was examining hand grenades in a con-
crete dugout, when one of them began to fizz
There were II men in the dugout and there
was no possible means of disposing of the bomb
Lieutenant Thorner shouted to his men to
clear out while he endeavored to smother the
grenade by holding it pressed to his body His
efforts were futile and the bomb exploded, kill
ing him. All but two of the other men escaped
injury and they suffered but slightly.
King George awarded the Albert medal to the
ieutenant's family.
1t is of such men that the allied armies are
built up. They are the fellows who are going
on to Berlin, and those who, like Lieutenant
Thorner, do not go, will not have made the
supreme sacrifice in vain. They make it posssi-
BILE for the others to go.

THROUGH GERMAN EYES

The German press, after long period OF
silence. now contains stray references to the
American Army, which are evidently intended
"a swell little by little into demonstration that
il il Of little value The Frankfurter Zeitung
says in it's weekly review of the military sltua-
ton that France has now been successfully I'M
pregnated with the German doctrine that Hin
denburg is gradually exhausting the reserves OF
the Allies, and concluded as follows
''The problem of the Germans fight against
the Anglo-French reserves now wears an aspect
quite different from the artificial picture of the
last few weeks. Hindenburg's blows are destroy
ing the best fighting forces; President Wilson is
sending an unorganized and unpractised mass.
France will have to go on bearing the
main burden, for it is she that provides the best
soldiers for the Western front. 1t took years be-
fore the Englishman efficient fighter, and
the Americans start with considerably less ia
vourable conditions, while the German armies
have added immensely to their knowledge and
experience of war in the meantime"
General Won ARR, the chief of the Austrian
General Staff, who is now said to have been dis
missed, has also attempted to dispose of the
American Army in conversation with the Berlin
correspondence of the Neue Freie Presse-a con-
versation which, curiously enough, was mainly
devoted to enthusiastic praise of militarism in
Spain. General Won Arr said:-
you ask me whether American help could
provide any sort of substitute for the loss of the
masses of Russians, even if it reached the French
battlefield in the fullest measure of the wishes
and hopes of the Allies-which must be doubted,
if only because the activity of the German sub
marines is bound to produce disturbance and
confusion in the transport dispositions Of the
American Army. No, regard it as impossible.
One must not forget that at the beginning of
the war we had against our fronts from seven
to eight millions of Russian soldiers, for the
most part men with years of training; in any
case capable fighters, and simply perfect in the
modesty of their requirements. In Comparison
with that, what are a million million and a
half of Americans, unaccustomed to war, with
short training and no experience, and with their
elevated ideas of living and total want of appre-
citation Of the hardships of WARP"
Meanwhile, American troops are pouring into
France in an uninterrupted stream and are
quickly taking their place the firing line,
where their achievement is entirely discredting
the expressions of the German newspapers.
The papers of England and France know what
the men from the United States are doing and,
without exception, they say that the Americans
arc unsurpassed as fighters and are proving a
highly important factor in the winning of the
war.

gives the following information:
Dear Mrs. Quina:
Your. letter of July 18th received.
There is no short course or intensive
training for nurses. Vassar college,
to it's graduates and those with similar
advantages in other colleges, IS oHer-
ing a summer course, this to be fol-
lowed by two years in any creditapie

a three year course, two years OF
which is spent in military hospitals
and one year an affiliated course IN
