THE LAST GUN

With the last day of the Liberty Loan drive,
Escambia county faces the gravest responsibility
in all its history With the record back of every
previous drive setting standard of achievement;
with other counties in the state already over the
top and with its own quota yet to be made, Es-
Gambia stands this morning the brink of
failure or success. Either this county will go
over the top tonight with flying colors and every
citizen will have sense of pride in that victory,
his county will go down in defeat, and every
citizen should hang his head in shame.
The government has set for every section of
this country an allotment based on its combined
wealth This allotment is not laid on a few rich
men or a great number of poor men, but is sup
posed to be raised through the combined efforts
of every man, woman and child in the county
There are some slackers in Escambia county.
Thank God they are few. But for every man
who refuses to do his part, there is some other
man or woman who must make up that allotment.
If you refuse to make sacrifce,-very well.
Someone must make it for you. Bear that in
mind
II you are able to take ten thousand dollars
worth of bonds and only subscribe to one thou
nave
to pay that debt to the nation. The clerk in
your Office, whose salary is meagre; the stenog-
rapher who will go without necessities of life,
or your office boy, who gets his bond on the in
stallment plan are richer than you are today.
with your thousand, if, through the spirit of
sacrifice, they have risen to height that you
can never reach.

without sacrifice 1t cannot be put over the top
unless everyone of US does his or her level best.
1t is not enough to do ones duty. This is time
to do more than ones duty. When you buy
bond today, buy much as you think is your
duty and then remembering the boys over there
who do not stop at duty, but go the limit in
self-sacrifce and give all, buy an extra bond for
them.
This is time for individual service But it
is time for more than this. 1t is time to
give for the man over there as well as the man
over here.
Back of that great army in France, cheering
it on with cries of victory, is the army at home
Remember that those boys across the sea can
do nothing but fight,-fght desperately fight day
in and day out, in cold and in rain in winter
and in summer. They can only fight with the
weapons we furnish them. They can rely only
on us, the ones they have left back home.
w. c. Wardlaw has sent this message to every
American:
your duty is not only to subscribe to the
Fourth Liberty Loan to the full extent of your
ability, but to use your influence to induce others
to do likewise. The Fourth Liberty Loan will be
for a larger amount than any previous loan, and
it will therefore be necessary for those who SUBJ
scribed to other loans to increase their subscrip
tions to this, and that many subscribers be
secured. Not one of us is willing that it be any
thing less than over-subscrbed. The Liberty

Four-story Industrial Building, SIX

The property loss is estimated at
more than 81 100000, but, in spite OF
the fact that six dwellings, a church'
grocery and saloon were also de-
stroyed, 1t is believed that no llves
were lost
Thirty manufacturing firms nave

the government leads the authorltleS
to believe that the fire was started by
an alien enemy.
that the blaze was of incendiary orr
gin and federal agents and the city
police are proceeding on this theory
The flames appeared to break out
simultaneously in two widely sepa-
rated parts of the structure. Famed
by gale that swept from the south
west. the flames spread with such
rapldity that the 81 companies-ln-

blocks to the north and east.
The firemen were handicapped In
their work by the zero weather. In
order to Argument the water supply
Chief LOucks had holes cut In the ice
of the canal. and was thus able TO get
additional streams.
Falling walls placed the fire fighters
in danger and cut line after line or
hose.
The rapidity with which the fire
spread was explained by the fact that
the automatic sprinkler system. with
which the building was equipped
throughout. had been shut Off in all
but the southwest corner. In small
section of the plant only did the
spriuklers work.
SO quickly did the fire spread that
II was impossible to save the contents
of the factories in the Industrial
building. 1t was estimated that fully
100000 worth of new automobiles
were stored in the basement.
