with maps and glasses every yard OF
the miles of battlefield stretching
away to Lille and the untouched
cities of the Belgian plain. and Slept
on the slopes Of KENNEL to watch
the tremendous and awful spectacle
of a night bombardment timed Just
before the infantry went over al
dawn.
The flat plain Of Flanders stretches
away IN dreary shellpocked levels,
pools of stagnant rainwater and de-
bris-covered undulations. From the
German advanced positions almost
due east OF Ypres it is five or six
miles to the foothills OF the KENNEL
ridge. and every foot of that distance
is over old battlefleIds scanned with
Wretched trenches and torn and Dur-
rowed with all the destructive energy
Of four years OF war. 1t is not an
appealing prospect. Here is no land
flowing with milk and honey-no
towns to loot. or even a prospect OF
comfortable billet Down in the
dead levels thousands of armed men
wait in the trenches, Craters have
become fortresses bristling with ma
chine guns, and by night the whole
plain shimmers with the red flashes
Of countless cannon.
Mound of CaIcined Masonry.
What is left Of Ypres-a mound OF
calcined masonry and pounded bricks
stands as a low rise on the plain.
The roads, fringed by shell-blasted
trees, snake away into the haZy dis

high bursting shrapnel or the black
smoke column of a distant large cali

murs with the roll of artillery fire

Yet despite its apparent quietness

menace hides under that deceptive
calm.
To the German. Ypres is a word Of
fear. The Germans murdered that
city. and no murderer likes to be con-
fronted with the corpse Of his vic

Alexandria. Va, July 21.-The ban
prohibiting soldiers from Camp
Humphreys from either purchasing
food or drink was issued two weeks
ago Saturday and is still on.
Since then a general clean up
campaign has been inaugurated
here and with the Federal and State
officials at work sanitating the city
there is every reason to believe that
before long the ban will be lifted.
Some predict that it may be lifted
by the close of the present week and
others contend it may not be lifted
until August 1.
Merchants of the city see no good
reason why it should not be lifted
at once, especially those who are
endeavoring to live up to all of the
sanitary laws of both State and
city.

A lady in Pensacola, on being asked
a few days ago whether she con-
scientionsly observed the meatless and
wheatless days which had been or
dered by the Government, replied that
she really did not even know exactly
which days they were supposed to
be.
AS her household is a very small
one this failure to comply with the
order will scarcely make a great diff
ference in the ultimate outcome of the
war, but it shows that a spirit of CO.
operation with the government is sad
ly lacking in some of our communi-
ties.
If the United States were only the
size of the State of Florida it would
come home to the people much more
easily that they are actually at war
with a powerful enemy, and they
would then perhaps realize, like the
people in the smaller countries in
Europe, that a war is won through
individual effort on the part of the
people who stay at home, as much
they send to the front.
Compared with the sacrifices which
have been made by the civil population
of France and Great Britain during
the past three years, 1t is a very small
thing which is being asked of the
people of this country, that they
should eat no meat on one day in
every week, and that two days in the
week, and one meal in every day,
should be wheatless. OF course wheat
bread tastes much better than any of
the substitutes which are being Of
fered for it, and no doubt people who
have been accustomed to eating meat
at every meal will wonder what they
are going to do without it for a
whole day, but when you are denying
yourself these pleasures try to think
that perhaps the concerted effort of
the nation at home will bring the war
to close just that much sooner, and
that when it is over Americans can
once more revel in the prosperity which
has at one time been theirs.

WHAT A SERVICE
MAN DID FOR THE
RED CROSS.

Generally speaking, it is the Red
Cross which works for the service
men, but in this instance at least the
tables have been turned.
Mr.. Henry Reherman, one of the
men at the Naval Air Station, has
woven a beautiful pillow top, with an
open background of white, surrounded
by strips of red and blue ribbon, while
in the center is a lovely red cross,
the whole article being finished by
a pretty fringe Of the white in the
foundation, and when it was finished
he was not satisfied with simply turn
ing it over to them, but disposed of
it for $1,000, which he gave them in
stead, no doubt realizing that the
money would be much more acceptable
to them.

DISTRIBUTION OF
KNITTED CARMEN
az RED CROSS

Several times a week now the local
chapter of the Red Cross distributes
knitted garments among the men at
the Naval Air Station and Forts, but
yesterday they must have broken all
previous records, for in spite of the
fact that 1t is only day or two since
their last distribution the quantities
which were given out then were as
follows.
20 Sweaters.
81 Pairs of socks.
32 Pairs of Wristlets.
2 Mufflers.
Helmets.
1t is greatly to the credit of the
town that every one or these garments
were knitted here, and Pensacola has
right to be proud of the number
Of sock knitters in her midst, this
ld-fashioned art having been revived
to very great advantage, as Is shown
by the number which were distributed
yesterday.
1t was suggested not long ago that
the Red Cross here should buy n
knitting machine, but it has been
amply proved that the people of Pen
sacola are more than able to take
care Of all the wool which they can
be supplied with.
