CITY CLEANUP
County Solicitor, Sheriff and
Police Will Work Together to
Get Rid of Riff-Raff
WORKERS UN-MoLEsTED
Loafers and Habitues of Hang
Outs and Semi Hotels Will
Have To Leave

Loafers and street walkers are go-
ing to be thing of the past in Pen
sacola if the county and city authori-
ties. can carry out the plans they have
made, according to an announcement
made by County Solicitor Fisher last
night. This movement is to be made
against idleness and people who have
no visible means of support who are
on the streets all day and until late
hours of the night.
People who are working and have
business here will not be questioned
nor will visitors to the city be eril-
barrassed in any way said the solici-
tor, but the move will be only against
the ones who are loafing in Pensacola
and against the dives, and houses
which keep no registers of people who
are staying in them.
Reports on people who are not
working will be handled by both the
city and the county, he said further
and the two branches of Justice will
work together in the matter and rid
the city OF undesirables in very short
while. Mr.. Fisher wanted 1t made
plain that 1t was not the intention to
stop people on the streets and ask
them what they were doing for liv-
ing and why they happened to be
here, but the movement is against the
continual loafers and buns
People who have legitimate BUSH
ness and guests in the city will prob
ably never be stopped, he said, but the
two departments will have records of
the people they want to hold and when
these people become undesirable they
will become absent by notification or
If some job is pulled the police will
nave the men they are looking for or
will know where to get that man
Questionable houses especially are
to be cleaned up and undesirable in
mates gotten out of the city or so in
convenienced that they will leave.
There are many houses in the city
that have inmates of which the po-s
lice departments have only slight in
formation except that they are not
working. and seemingly have no hon
est means of support. These houses
s are to be cleaned as well as the vari-
Gus loafing places.
All boarding places, hotels and
rooming houses will furnish registers
and these registers must be open for
inspection at any time. each person
/ staying there TO have his name regis
! tered. Keepers of public houses will
be required to cooperate with the
authorities in every way and to fur
nish information when called upon to
do so.
/ This cleanup is absolutely neces-
| sary,'' said Mr.. Fisher last night, IF
+. we are to have a city that is free
from crimes that disgrace a city. If
we expect to have a city that is clean
and which will be attractive" he said,
| The first thing for US to do is to
clean out the riff-raff. loafers and
buns, and this we are going to start
.at once"

FARMERS PROSPEROUS
Confidence Generally is Felt in
Retail Trade; Material Laxity
in Demand not Expected

Washington, Dec. 30.-Con-
tinued business activity is pre-
dicted by the committee on sta
tistics of the chamber of COM
merce of the United States in
it's annual end of the year review
of business and crop conditions.
The report said manufactur-
ers have orders in excess of their
capacity and in retail trade
there is feeling of confidence
of continuation until another
harvest at least of the demand
for all classes of commodities.
Farmers are unusually pros
porous and their liberal spend
ing, says the review, is the
backbone of the present volume
of business. They are buying
more improved farm machinery
and pure bred livestock than
ever before.
Of the general crop situation
the report says rain did much
damage to unharvested crops in
the south and southern portion
lof central states. There is great
activity in building.

GREAT INFLUX
IMMIGRATION
NOT EXPECTED
Great Congestion at Ellis Island
Is Only Temporary Officials
Explain

New York, Dec. 3o.-Heavy i'm
migration which has taxed the facili
ties of Ellis Island and delayed un-
loading of steamships at this port is
only temporary and presages no great
influx of foreigners that will affect
the labor market of the United States
in the opinion of immigration authori-
ties here. They estimated today next
years immigration through New York
will be only 100000 as compared with
100000 annually.
Few of the thousands of passen-
gers arriving here daily from abroad
are coming to this country unless
they have been here before or unless;
relatives are already here. Probably
so per cent of the recent arrivals are
reservists, mostly Italians. who left
United States to fight for their ma
tive land. Many of them are Ameri-
can citizens, about whose admission
there is no question. The balance of
the arrivals is composed of fathers,
mothers, wives and children of men,
Poles and Czecho- Slavaks, who immi-
grated prior to the war and are well
established.
The arrivals include a large~repre-
sentation of native-born Americans,
who had been unable to reach these

MIDDLE CLASS
Being RUINED
Says Doctors, Lawyers, Writers
And Schoolmasters Are Being
Ground to Bits

London, Dec. 30.-Lord Buckmaster,
formerly Lord Chancellor, declared in
the house of lords the other day that
the people of middle class in Great
Britain were being slowly ground to
powder under present conditions,
There is a large body of people
whom he said. For want of a bet
ter definition, I will call the middle
class, the people engaged as civil
servants, doctors, lawyers, writer's,
and school masters. all the people who
earn relatively small incomes. say
from f3oo to $1,000 and who are the
most thrifty and the most self sac
rificing class in the whole country
They are people who stint them
selves sometimes of almost the neces-
sities of life in order that they may
give their sons a better chance at
school and at college; they are the
class which has recruited all our fin
est people all over the globe.
What is the result? Every time
the currency is inflated the hand of
the state is put into their pockets,
and from their small. hard-won earn
ings sums are taken away in order
that other people may have more.
These are the people who are be-
ing slowly ground to powder under
the present conditions. and L say it is
the class which represents the life
growing point of the nation. If that
class is once destroyed it will be i'm
possible that it should ever be re-
placed.

BEING CHECKED
American Officers Believe Few
Unidentified Bodies Will Lie
Among Soldier Dead

Paris, Dec. 30.-American army Of
ficers believe very few unidentified
bodies will lie among Americas SOL
dier dead in France when the army
graves registration service completes
a thorough rechecking of records now
in progress. Every grave record is
being checked against the arIny's

or six pointed star over the Jews
is having an embossed aluminium
strip placed on the back, duplicating
the name. rank and organization al

being done as a precaution against the
possibility of winter weather wearing
away the stencilled information.
Nearly 10000 American boys are
buried in the eleven districts of

the Duchy of Luxembourg. There are
3S cemeteries of 800 or more graves,
cared for by discharged soldiers. The
largest of these is Romagne. north of
Verdun where lies $4,000 of our men.
The next in size is that at Thiaucourt
with 4.500 graves. Many of those
who fell in battle are sleeping in
British and French military or the
French communal cemeteries. A few
were left where they We're first put in
