FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB.

The announcement from local headquarters of
the War Camp Community Service that all branch
work Of the organization will be closed November
first is to be regretted. Pensacola the need for
the Army Navy Club is quite urgent as it has
ever BEEN and win continue throughout the win
ter months.
With arrival of the torpedo flotilla in Pensa-
cola harbor it estimated that at least thousand
men a day will be given shore leave. When these
men come to Pensacola they will look for some
recreation. for place that offers welcome,
is extended to service men at the Army and
Navy Club. If they do not find hospitality there
they will be at loss many times, not only for d.
version, but the simple. ordinary comfort of a
place rest and read, write a letter or have a
friendly chat with their pals.
At the meeting of the local CT mmittee OF the
w. c. G. S. 1t decided that publicity would be
uiven to the fact that the Army and Navy Club
could be kept open. without local aid, and ;he
people OF Pensacola would be urged to come to the

the men OF the flotilla in Pensacola.
In many cities community houses have been erect
ed and being maintained, in honor o. the men
gave their lives for their countcy in the world
While such a movement in Pensacola is prob
ably inpracticabIe, II would seem in Keeping with
the spirit Of the times If some way might be de-
vised keep the club open during the coming
winter.
However much we may chose to look upon The
army and navy as part of the machinery of the
government. and nothing more, the fact remains
that the human equation enters into every relation

The men who come to Pensacola will carry away
with them impre. sions which will react either to

MONROE DOCTRINE IS SAFE.

Failing TO sympathy of the country with

This would work all right If these senator's could
make anybody believe the Monroe doctrine

countenance ratification of the treaty and signing
of the covenant if 1t raised a question to the
status of the Monroe doctrine. The peace confer

the Monroe doctrine in the following language in
article twenty-one:
Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed

such as treaties of arbitration regional under

the Monroe doctrine repeatedly 1t in existence

THE RED CROSS FIRST.

The relief work of the American Red Cross IN

the fact that this organization has been the heels

begin to subside, the Red Cross is to be found on
