Francois stipulation that the
German territory lying west of
the Rhine be ceded to her seems
to have been turned down by the
peace conference. If so, the de-
cision is a wise one. 1t is not
surprising that France, embitter-
ed for fifty years by the cession
Of Alsace-Lor.raine to Germany
after the war of 1871, should now
seek a similar advantage. But
the very fact that the Alsace-Lor-
raine question has been a con-
slant menace to the peace of
Europe shows the futility of such
step. Race, religion, language
and national customs form the
natural boundaries Of countries.

WHICH ARE YoU!

He is the man 10 whom home means some
thing.
He is the established. respected citizen.
He is the man who lives settled, comfortable
life in his own coy home.
The home buyer is substantial citizen. lie
brings up his children here, builds up his business
here
The fy-by-night citizen, the unsettled discon-
tented individual is likely to be the out-of-toWn
buyer.
He purchases elsewhere because Pensacola
means nothing to him.
He is a drifter through life, a moth attracted
by any PARKWAY flame.
He has no prosperity of his own because he
has not joined forces with prosperity. He has
not attached himself to any of the things that
bring wealth and contentment. He has not at
tempted to identify himself closely with his
town, to build up his credit, to own property, to
establish growing bushes security.
He seeks to save a few pennies under the lure
of out-of-town advertising, only to find that his
wings are singed in the blaze that tempted him.
He misses completely the point of true thrift,
of real economy-that is, to purchase goods only
in person, after first-hand examination.
The home buyer, on the other hand, is the man
who knows what he wants-and gets it.
He is the man who doesn't wait for unreliable
mail deliveries.
He gets what ne wants when he wants it.
The home buyer is known and liked by the
city's merchants. They put themselves out to
serve him. They deliver goods for him in an
emergency, at odd hours, with special prompt
ness. He benefits by corrections and altera-
tions by special prices and bargains of all kinds.
Which are you going to be?
The mail-order moth, the out-of-toWn shopper,
or the substantial, successful, satisfied home
buyer?
Be loyal to your town. Be true to your own
best interests.
Boost your community's prosperity!
Patronize the home town merchants.
Buy in Pensacola.

Many ancient families in England have stored

For example, the Duke of Norfolk has the fig

are kept in glass case at one of his country
seats. Most of these teffigies were made by
Italians, and it was from Italy that the idea
came.
A unique suggestion has been offered that

One of the results of the war is an important
reform in court-martial procedure in the British
army. An accused soldier sentenced to death is
now informed of his fate. Formerly, finding
and sentence were not announced Until after

might be executed before he had any time to ap-

Wa ter Melon Feast.

Through the generosity of Mr..
Horace Wright, one of the thrifty
and successful farmers living three
or four miles nothWest of town, the
members and friends of the Bap-
tist church, enjoyed q watermelon
feast at the church Tuesday even
ing free of all charge. Mr.. Wright
has good melon crop this year
and it occurred to him that the
church folks would enjoy the treat.
Accordingly he brought in 70 large
water melons Tuesday and they
were served on the lawn in the
evening, much to the enjoyment of
the crowd in attendance. UnfOr-
tunately the weather was little
threatening and kept many away.
An electric light had been put up
on the church lawn the day before
for the event which made both the
eating and serving most enjoyable.
After the melon feast a mixed musi-
cal program was presented in the
church. Miss Erma Jewett gave a
number of violin renditions, Miss
Eva Allen, the commercial teacher
in the public school, and Barton
White gave piano selections. The
water melon feast was decidedly
pleasant affair and Mr. Wright is
heartily commended for his gener-
osity

these being in the First division.
Names and particulars can be fur
nished on request.
The tremendous scale upon which
the association work was conduct
ed made it absolutely impossible
to give everything away and If this
method had been adopted the big
fund contributed last fall would
have lasted only few weeks. The
Salvation army sold canteen sup
plies except on special occasions,
Just as the Y. NJ. c. A. did and has
not been criticised. The Red Cross
made nominal charges for lunches
served in canteens and neither has
it been criticised. Both OF them
did good work but the writer
does not feel that his organization
should be criticised for doing the
same thing.
Briefly put, large measure OF
the criticism grew out OF the TACT
that the Y. NJ. c. A. was the one Or
ganiZatiOn to which the boys look
ed for welfare supplies since it
maintained seven times as many
huts and approximately ten times
as many workers as all the other
welfare organizations combined.
When they were not able to get
just what they wanted the associa-
tiOn came in for an ungrammatical
and emphatic eulogy and since two
million men were to be served each
one of whom demanded American
made goods in country torn and
disOrganiZed by four years of war,
three thousand miles from Ameri-
ca it is not surprising that suffi-
cient grounds were found upon
which to build what appeared to be
well constructed criticism. But
fundamentally the criticism was of
religious origin having for it's OBJ
ject the discrediting OF a protest
ant institution which threatened
to exert tremendous influence
ganiZed criticism was sufficient to
ranks which usually did not know
criticism which had sprung up in
the ranks.
Time will not permit further dis
cussion' of this topic here, except
to say, perhaps, that with the rea-
sons mentioned with the hostility
of practically every Catholic officer
was essential if an efficient service
was to be rendered, with restric-
tions to our work imposed by army
rules and regulations, with the ne
cessity of granting to the army
first right to railway transporta-
tion, when needed, with 40 per cent
of all our automobiles comman-
deered by the army for urgent mil
itary needs and with many other
obstacles which l might mention,
it is surprising that the associa-
tion did as well as was done.
But at that wonderful work
was put on in the various army
centers and in the remote field
areas insofar as our force was suf
ficient for this need.
Any questions regarding this
subject will be promptly answer
ed upon request addressed to the
undersigned.

work nothing has given me great
er concern than the too numerous
criticisms of the work OF the assO-
citation of which | was part and
| have often felt that those who
gave so freely that this welfare
work might be made possible,
must feel extremely bitter if they
were to believe One-half the in
eliminating stories given circula-

citation on some preteXt or another.
With a full knowledge of much
that has been said regarding the
work over there and with the add
ed advantage of having seen at
first hand the work in the various
fields and departments of work L
want to say that l am proud of
the association and that there is
MT boy in the A. E. +. that
can't look in the face, confident
and proud that ! wear the assOcia-
ton insignia. While | am familiar
with the usual criticisms | am also
familiar with the causes behind
many of the conditions which led
to criticism and | am also familiar
with the policy of intrigue and in
eXcusable propaganda whereby d
certain cO-WOrking organization in
the field has succeeded in poison
ing many minds relative to our
work. | only wish the people at
home, protestant and Catholic
alike, could have seen with I'M
prejudiced eyes the work as | have
seen it, knowing as l have known
the obstacles under which and in
spite of which the job was done.
In a general way it can be said
that the aversion to military disci-
pline and the bitterness growing
out of this enforced discipline, alb
sence from home and prolonged
deprivations from many home COM
forts have had the effect of embit-
tering the boys against every
thing overseas and it will be found
that the average boy who knocks
the "Y" just as herOically knocks"
everything else with which he
came in contact on the other side
The government, his officers, the
French people, the French soldier,
the British soldier, the prohibitions
lists who made this nation dry
they all come in for a flourish of
his rhetoric. To give added weight
to his criticism of the "Y'' he usual
,ly says good word for some other
organiZatiOn,-nOt because they
have done anything especially for
him but because he finds it eX-
pedient and polite to do so for ef-
feet.
The association makes no claim
to perfection and frankly admits
that it made some mistakes in the
administration of it's work. 1t is
also admitted that some mistakes
were made in the selection of few
overseas men. But it is not will
ing to admit that dollar for dollar
and man for man it's work was not
just as efficient as that. of any
other organization in the field.
The claim that the association
sold everything" is shattered by
official records which show that
we gave away 60 per cent more
supplies free than all the other
welfare organizations combined,
the accusation that we overcharg-
ed on sales has long since been
proven groundless by both army
and association investigations;
the charge that "Y" men were not
at the front is disprOven by gov
ernment records which show that
