FALLING FROM GRACE

~
went to various places throughout the
country and brought back with you 100
men, there would be some bad eggs among
them. The Navy resents what those three
sailors did even more keenly than what
you do
Thus spoke Key West editor about
the alleged attack of three sailors on Grip
pie andsan old man, both of whom had Of
fered to do favors and were robbed while
making their offers.
As there would be some bad eggs in
those 100 men, is it not natural that the
Navy, which has gathered together hun
dreds of thousands of men from every nook
and corner in the country, should run across
some punkers?
In all large cities and some small ones
too, despite drilling examinations and
thorough Investigations, punkers turn up in
police forces day in and day out. Men with
evil minds given to committing evil deeds
whenever they get chance, are found in
all aggregations, large and small. Using
religion as cloak, they become members
of churches, and sometimes reach positions
as leaders before they are found out.
There is no more fairness in denounc-
ing religion because clergymen have been
convicted of committing crimes ranging up
to murder, than it is in censuring the Navy,
or any other branch of the armed services,
because rat turns up once in awhile.
All in all, Key West has been fortunate
in the type of soldiers and sailorsCwho have
been stationed here. We hav6+had trouble
with only an exceedingly small percentage
of them The others are upright;Aer,' with
service to their country the uppermost
thing in their minds. Those good men are
not only annoyed by what the bad ones do
but also are spurred into quick action to
beat down all acts that may reflect on the
Nays good name.
Thus sailor, who tried to attack a
woman, and another, who fired a pistol
in the presence of two women, were sum-
marily expelled from the Navy after they
had been court martialed and found guilty
Don't blame the Navy, boys is good
sense and fairness embodied in five words
You may start in business today and hire
half "a dozen men, and they may include
crook eeSo-ifyo ever feel critical about the
men in Uncle Sans services, think for
moment of the millions who have been call
ed to the colors and the infinitisimal few
who have: fallen from grace.

FOOD SHORTAGES ARE POSSIBLE

The longer the war lasts, the greater
the probability that some Americans will
have to get along with less food While those
living in agricultural areas will fare better
than those in the cities, it is possible that
demand everywhere will increase faster
than supplies
The Bureau of Economics, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, says there are
enough rationed foods on hand, together
with expected production, to maintain the
present eating levels for the remainder of
1913. Unrationed foods, however, are not
too plentiful and the apparent supply for
fall and winter months is not too favorable
This is true as to eggs, cereals, fruits
and vegetables. The Bureau sreports that
vegetables are running about thirteen per
cent below last year, that late freezes cut
crops of apricots, cherries, peaches, plums
and prunes below 1912 and that supplies
of eggs will drop considerably below current
levels.

MINES AND MORALE

Morale in Germany must be worse
than we think if there is any truth to the
story printed in Sweden that the Nazis plan
to use an armada of 1000 planes to smash
an Allied invasion by laying mines in every
British harbor
The use of 1000 planes to attack the
invasion forces, ships and men, might make
some sense. but to talk about hating an in
vasion by laying mines is to expect too much
from the explosives which have not yet
proved enough to halt an attack upon any
port

So she would have put the win

At last Ann decided the only
