This Pensacola Man.

Both white and colored people re-

fidence has been such that they have
confidence in him.
Bruce says: II have been suffering
for sometime with pains in my back.

I could not go to my work on account
of it. Ny water was bad and I often
had to get up several times during the
night My stomach was all out of or

had me swelled up pretty bad at times.
/ didn't have much appetite and was
very bilious. | always believed in the
root and herb medicines. like my daddy
before me used to make, and that is
why ] decided to try a bottle of Dreco
when 1t first came to town and it is
the best medicine 1 ever took. 1t just
knocked my troubles right out of me.
My kidneys are alright again, and
don't ever have pains in my beack.

hurt me a bit. Ny bowels act regular.
Dreco did me so much good that

family could take it,
The old-fashioned remedies made
from roots and herbs. are the best for
any one to take. Dreco is made from
twelve different roots. herbs, banks
and berries. These act on the liver,
stomach, bowels and kidneys and puri-
fy the blood. Dreco knocks rheuma-
tism out shortly, relieves catarrh of the
head and stomach; makes you sleep
soundly and creates a good appetite.
AS blood purifier, nothing can equal
Dreco. 1t puts stop to boils. ecze-
ma. and other. blood affections.
Dreco is sold by all good druggists
throughout the country and is highly
recommended in Pensacola by Ba1k-
com Drug Co.-Ady.

NEW AID WRITER ON

Miss Vivian Grey arrived Tuesday
from the Crescent City, and will be
employed in the advertising depart
ment of the Pensacola Journal. Dur
ing the past year she has been con-

AMMUNITION ON
TRANSPORT BURNS
Marica, En- Route TO Honolulu From
PHILIPPINES, Has Lively Time.
fsv AssocIated Press.l

Honolulu, T. H. Aug. 11.-For eight
days and nights Captain Eugene Nc
Carthy and the crew of the big United
States transport Marica fought and
finally conquered a fire in the ships
cargo of munitions, while small arm
ammunition. shrapnel, grenades and
bombs burst, it was learned here re-
Gently on the transports return from
Manila.
Smoke was seen first issuing from
one of the forward matches at 10
o'clock at night during the ships last
voyage to the Philippines. The officer
of the watch sounded a general fire
alarm and water was turned into the
hold, where 1000 tons of ammunition
Of all sizes was stored.

hatch were taking place every little
while" said Captain Mccarthy. THE
cargo there included shrapnel shells,
hand grenades, decorating fuses.
bombs and small arm ammunition. My
men carried case after case of NUM-
tions likely to explode at any moment
from the hold and threw them over
board. The boxes were too hot to
handle with bare hands, so the men
wore gloves. Lieutenant Bowman.
transport quartermaster, was over
come by powder fumes and was con-
fined to his room for several days.
IL had to maneuver the Marica be-
fore the wind to keep the fire from
spreading. On the eighth night it got

batten down the matches and turn on
the smothering pipes. We flooded the
hold with water. and two nights later
the blaze was extinguished."
Captain Mccarthy said the explo
sives were loaded in Hoboken in March
and he declared it as his belief that
spontaneous combustion started the
fire.

IRELAND FACES
BIG CLAIM LEVY
Sim Fein Councils Decline to Collect
Taxes to Pay Malicious
injury" Claims.
tBy Associated Press.l

Dublin, Aug. 1.-THE sums award
ed by the courts to the victims OF
malicious injuries in Ireland now ag-
gregate nearly $5,000,000. They are
payable out of local taxes and it is
the duty of the new local Sim Fem
councils to levy and collect the money.
This they refuse to do and, so far, the
relatives of the murdered policemen
and others, as well as the owners of
destroyed property, are unable to OBJ
tain payment. Even if the Sim Fein
councils were willing to assist the
claimants, however, the sum is so
great that it is said it would prove
'intolerable to the overburdened tax
payers"
The largest taxpayers are Unionists
who do not relish the prospect of hav-
ing to pay for the outrages OF men
with whom they have not the smallest
sympathy. There has. therefore, been
started an agitation for relieving citi-
zens of the burden of these charges.
The argument is that these outrages
were undoubted acts of war. They
were of the same class and motived
by the same purpose as the rebellion
of Easter week. Some of the judges
who made the awards have endowed
this view from the bench.
The British government paid out OF
the Imperial Exchequer for the dam
age done in Easter Week. They APP
propriated s15,o00.000 out of which the
mined portions of the city of Dublin
are being rebuilt. They are now being
asked by resolutions of the Grand
Juries of Irish counties, which consist
almost entirely of Unionists, to follow
the Easter Week precedent and to pay
out imperial funds for the damage now
frequently being done to life and prop
erty.
The government has been quite will
ling to pay for the damage done by
the soldiers and police in the cases of
retaliation that have occurred in
Thurles and Fermoy. but they are I'M
willing, it is reported, to pay for the
damage done by their opponents.
Meanwhile, the victims are left with
out compensation.

RHODES SCHOLARS
WORK in GERMANY
Oxford University Youths Will Assist
In Repatriation of Russian
War Prisoners.

Berlin, Aug. ia party of young
Americans, all Rhodes scholars, has
arrived here from oxford University
to assist in the Y. M. c. A. relief work
in connection with the repatriation of
Russian prisoners OF war.
They will be assigned to various
prison camps throughout Germany
where 175.00o Russians are awaiting
ships to taken them home. About
$4,000 already have been sent from
Stettin to Narva, but there are so few
ships available it may be months be-
fore the last of them can be embarked.
Meantime the Russians are suffering
severe privations.
Almost without exception the Ameri-
can students served during the war
with the American Expeditionary
Forces or were associated with relief
work in Europe. Their leader is
Francis P. Miller, of Lexington, Va. a
graduate of Washington and Lee Uni
versity. Other members of the party
are David M. Amacker, Lake Provi-
dence, La, Joseph David Doty. Gra-
ham, Tex; william L. Finger. Ripley,
Miss, Rex B. Hersey, Huntington, w.
Va: G. A. Feather, University of New
MeAlCOs r. ITGduWSll 0Hllln anu ,. vi.
Keeney, OF Hazard University; D. P.
Miller University of Denver and E.
Naugle. University of Texas.
Five years confinement in prison
camps has reduced the Russians to a
pitiable condition. Many are i'll, some
insane, and all undernourished. inn
properly clothed and dispirited. From
the Germon government each receives
a small monthly allowance which is in
sufficient to provide even the neces-
saries of life.
Officers at the Wuelzburg camp re-
ceive monthly 1875 marks, which is
about 1910. For the one meager daily
meal they get at the camp So. marks
is deducted. Out of what is left they
must try to buy clothes and other es-
sentials. Such a thing. for example
as dental attention is wholly beyond
their means. Some have sold their
last shirts to pay for shoe repairs
Shoes are their crying need and the
prisoners hardly take a step without
calculating the wear on their soles. Eff
ports made by relief workers to induce
them to take up some form of athletics
brought the reply, wv ewould but it
would be too hard on our clothes and
SnOeS.
Camp officials permit the prisoners
to seek outside work. which. however.
is most difficult to find. One Russian.
who was employed two weeks by a
peasant. ruined his only pair of shoes
and then was charged the full amount
OF his wages for his board.
Most of the prisoners have heard
nothing from their families or friends
for more than two years, and the
Rhodes scholars viii try to help the
men get in touch with their homes. In
almost every camp there is a rude
theater. the principal amusement and
comfort of the men, who themselves
perform the plays. In spite of their
apathy. the men are interested in
hooks and instruction. and school
classes have been formed at a num-
Der of the camps.
