into battle, they are sleeping in the trenches,
they are in prisons and in pestilential camps for
wherever the sons go, surely there go the moth
ers beside them, brooding in spirit, suffering,
guiding, cheering and tending
1t is not too much to say that it is the mothers
of the race who will win this war. 1t is the
spirit with which the mother quickens her son,
and which will be transmitted to other sons
through him, that will win the world for right
eousness and humanity.
The women of the world are going into the
valley of the shadow of death. But they are not
going down in defeat. They going forward
in victory With the heart of the world torn and
bleeding, they not weeping at their own pain,
they are not remembering their own anguish.
But with the courage that God gives only to
mothers, they are speeding their sons to battle,
binding the wounded and laying away their dead,
and then going forth to find others whom they
may help and comfort.
No wonder we find words inadequate. No
wonder we try to express in some special way
our love and our admiration. But all we can do
is to love her, and so loving, to keep this day
sacred for her sweet sake whether she be the
mother in Heaven, the mother absent from US
here on earth, or the mother SO near to us that
we feel her loving, tender touch and know
that in her heart she holds US dear, as we do
her, today and always.

PASSED MILLION MARK

American troops in France have passed the
half million mark, according to announcements
made by Secretary Baker. This announcement
of the strength of General Pershing's forces was
given out by Mr.. Baker as proof that the predic-
ton made earlier in the year by the secretary of
war had been fulfilled.
Secretary Baker said: ''In January told the
senate committee that the strong likelihood was
that early in the year 10000 American troops
would be dispatched to France, but l am glad to
be able to say that the forecast made in Jan
uary has been passed"
Mr. Baker declined to make any predictions as
to whether the million additional men he men
toned in his statement before the military COM
mittee also will be sent across the Atlantic this
year, probabilities point in that direction.
When he appeared before the senate commit
tee in January Secretary Baker said the United
States would have 100000 men in France early
training camps ready to go as soon as ships are
available.
While the secretary confined himself to the
announcement that his prediction had been
made good, and declined to make any further
statement regarding the number of men the
other side, in process of crossing, ready to
cross, it is known that estimates of war depart
ment officials call for 100000 men in France in
June and 100000 men in July.
1t has been frankly stated that this is only an
estimate based on the results achieved in the
new accelerated overseas troop movement No
official has far predicted that this million total
will be in France at the end of the present fiscal
year, but this is the total the department is
striving for.

WAGE INCREASE

Wage advances to 939 399 railroad employees,
ranging from one per cent to the highest and 43
per cent to the lowest paid workers and aggre-
eating 100000, 900 has been made public in the
exhaustive report by the railroad wage commits
sion.
1t has been stated officially that Director Gen
eral McAdoo will accept this report and put the
wage increases into effect at once. The men,
bers of the four brotherhoods of railway en-
in view of high pay and recent advancement, vir-
tually agreed to accept the verdict of the wage
commission after their insistent demands had
caused the president to attempt adjustment.
The wage advances which range all the way
from one dollar to $4,000 are increases above the
pay which each employee was receiving on De-
cember 81 1915 Employees who have received
advances since that date will benefit now to the
difference between their present wage and that
fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay to the rail-
roads is estimated at S260,000,00O. This is ex-
elusive of the estimated deficit of $500, 900 900
in government operation of the railroads this
year. as a result of which Director General Nc
Adoo contemplates advancing the passenger
rates at least IL per cent and the freight rates
possibly as much as Is per cent.
The scheme Of wage advances adopted is based
on an inquiry into the cost of living, which the
commission found had increased approximately
forty per cent to the average railroad employee
receiving $50 per month.
The commission favors a shorter average
workday, presumably eight hours, but decided
that in the war emergency the nation could not
afford to put into effect reform that would slow
down the war machinery and discriminate
against other classes of workers now being called
upon for greater sacrifices.

TO ALL MOTHERS

Today is Mothers Day. day set apart in
the calendar for her who is dearest to each of u.s.
To most of us there comes on this day, however,
realization of how inadequate such time must
be-of how impossible that we should on any
given date, in any given way, show to her whom
we so deeply love measure of our affection.
And yet it is the best we can do in our
cropping, human fashion, to set aside days and
forms and ceremonies by which we try to ex-
press that which is so far beyond expression.
There is no specific time, there is no certain
season, there is no ceremonial which can tell of
the love we bear, of the allegiance we owe her.
So in our blind and stumbling manner we come,
with flowers for her, because in some way we
feel that these blossoms may bring to her heart
something of the love that we would show.
Today the mothers of the world are being cru
cited on the of civilization. They are going

THE BETTER PART

With the preliminary work OF the heu OroSS
drive well under way, and with one of the
strongest committees which has devoted its
services to the cause, there seems every prospect
of the great campaign making such record as
has never before been achieved in Pensacola.
At the recent meeting in this city, when a
large audience was addressed by Captain E.
Lucas Guest of the British army and State Di-
rector A. E. Parke, it was pointed out by the
state director that to the Red Cross belongs the
task not only of caring for the men at the front
in, many ways which add to their comfort
health and well being, but that to this organiza-
ton falls the duty of bringing the men home
again, after they have done their part.
1t has been said that the American people
have not yet begun to feel this war. And, in a
sense, this is true. Nor will they feel it in its
intensity until the boys begin to come home to
us from the front in large numbers.
Because this is being waged so many
miles across the sea, there is not yet with US
that same keen realization which has already
come to Great Britain, to France and to Italy.
But this realization is coming nearer each day.
Already, here and there, our men are coming
back to us, wounded broken in body, but not in
spirit. They are coming home heroes and with
their coming are bringing message which stirs
the heart and thrills the soul.
The stories that we hear today have not been
given to us secondhand, but they come from the
lips of men who have given themselves, men who
have risked their lives, men who have endured
and will endure unto the bitter end.
The Liberty Loan is a great thing, splendid
thing, wonderful outpouring of patriotism.
But the Red Cross is more than this. Through
the Liberty Loan we simply lend our money to
the government. Through the Red Cross we
give our money to help our own. When you give
to the Red Cross you give that your own may
be saved. When you give to the Red Cross, so
little in comparison to what you are receiving
from these men at the 'front.' you are not giving
to some foreign ally, you not giving to hui
mainly only in the general sense of the term, but
you are giving either to your own son or to your
neighbours If to your own son, you give
doubly, for when you have given of your own
blood, gladly will you give of your silver to sue
cor to protect, to cherish. And if you have
given no son, surely then upon you falls all the
greater responsibility to give that lesser gift of
money that life may be cherished that the dying
may be comforted.
Pensacola has never been found wanting
Again and again and again has this city gone
over the top. And in this last great drive it will
do more than it has ever done before. There is
no doubt of this, there can be no doubt of this
long red blood courses in the veins and the
heart goes out in love and hope and high pride to
the men across the sea.
