yatiOn Army Workers.

| Hon. James 3. Perkins acted as
POSTMASTER at the Salvation Army

was one of real encouragement to those
kwho are connected with the second
! home service appeal, May 10 to May 70.
The gathering was well attended.
After the banquet, Mr.. Perkins told
of the great things the Salvation Army
has done, and expects TO do in the fu-
ture if the people help back it up.
Mr. Perkins told of the ideas some peo-
pie of Pensacola and west Florida

lis to no benefit. He explained the
purposes for which the money is used
and then introduced Major David Main.

he has had in Salvation Army work.
He told of the expenditures that the
organization has made during the past
year, of the wonderful Salvation Army
buildings erected in Pensacola, Mobile,
Jackson, Miss, New Orleans and other
cities OIL the SOulu. lOAh Va h''t
fine building Pensacola has for its
headquarters, which cost the people of
Pensacola $4,000, and paid tribute to
the ones who have charge and man
agement of the Pensacola work.

man, field manager. Mr.. Eckman made
only a short talk telling of the splen-

the organization. He stated that the
army has assisted 100000 people
since it's organization and said that
he has been over the field during the
past two weeks and has found no zone
so well organized as west Florida, taxi

to Florida and from New Orleans to
Birmingham.
Major Bennett was next called on. He
said that if the people of Pensacola
would ask the soldiers and sailors as
to whether the Salvation Army did
much or little service during the war
he believed that there would not be one
service man who would say it did not
do much.
C. e. Hervey told of his decision
to remain in the city after saying that
business elsewhere would have 70 be

WILSON RECORD
Secretary of State Assails Those
Who Seek to Destroy Pres
ident's Good Name.

New York, May 1.-Secretary OF
State Colby made defense of Presi-
dent Wilson in a speech tonight be-
fore the New York Press Club. After
declaring the great issues of war still
undetermined so far as the United
States was concerned, and that hardly
any angle of the situation can be dis
cussed without bearing on somebody S
candidacy, he continued:
"Of one thing, evidence abounds on
every side. and that is the utter fail
ure of the enyenomed, impassioned at
tack upon the president" Declaring
this had been going on for months,
but no word of protest came from
this great lonely man in the White
House. who has been struggling back
to health and service for his people,
Saying that all resources of ''scur-
rility and hatred have been brought
into play against the president, Colby
added that "his envious detractors.
like ravening wolves, have bounded
him incessantly by day and by night,
but they have, done nothing else. They
have not affected the American people,
they have not cowed nor bent the val
liant spirit of the American president =
Colby said the United States be-
lieves in a league of nations and that
it was so declared in unmistakable
terms over and over again.
New York, May 1.-Weakness of the
American government is too much
statute law and too little enforcement,
too many officials and too little con-
troll over official non feasance, mis-
feasance and mal-feasance. Senator
owen, of Oklahoma, candidate for the
presidential nomination declared to-
night, addressing the New York Tress
Club.

aliens taken were Russians, many
other nationalities were among the
number, including Germans, Austri-
ans, Hungarians, Lithuanians, Let's
