SATURDAY. JUNK
JUNE 30, 1917.
Eighty-Fifth Day of America in the
War.
MR. YONGE'S REMOVAL.
Witlu-M reflecting in the least on Pro
fessor II. Clay Armstrong, it may be
stated that he could not have the close and
detailed knowledge of the educational sit
uation of Florida that twelve years' ser
vice on the board of control has given to
P. K. Yonge.
Certainly no man could have served the
people more faithfully than Mr. Yonge has
done . He lias left his business repeatedly
to attend the meetings, he is as familiar
with the different schools of the state and
the peculiar requirements of the various
communities, as the average man is with
his own front hall; he is liked and re
spected everywhere, and hi recommenda
tion was usually enough to guarantee the
adoption of any measure."
Professor Armstrong will, of course, fill
the office conscientious'', and we venture
to predict, with credit, but in the nature of
things it must be a lng time before he
can arrive at the definite understanding of
nerds that is Ma Yonge's. To that extent
tin: ctticiency of the office will be impaired.
What motive could Governor Catts pos-sif-lv
have in making the change?
NORWAY NEXT.
Norway, which has been supplying Ger
many so faithfuhy, ever since the war be
gan, with food stuffs and material neces
sary for war purposes, has found that the
kaiser's friendship is as sharp as a serpent's
tooth.
The entire nation is appalled, say the
news despatches, at the discovery of whole
sale plots to destroy Norwegian shipping
by bombs hidden in lumps of coal put in
the bunkers, and in a dozen other ways.
Monstmus as the outrage is, it is in line
with the deep-laid plan of the German gov
ernment to destroy all shipping, hostile or
friendly, in order that its own merchant
marine may be supreme after the war.
hven as the German embassy in the
(United States was headquarters for the
plots against the security of the United
States, so were the bombs, a ton of which
have been discovered by the Norwegians,
sent to the German embassy in Christiana,
packages escaping customs examma

Reprisal in kind against Germany, for

Yc hope not first, because nothing can
justify descending to the plane of Ger

Editor of The Journal:
We. the undersigned members of j
the Pensacola police force, whose j
resignations hav been requested by
1 once and rire Commissioner San
ders only to gratify his political ends,
and not t". in anywise improve the
morale and efficiency of the depart
ment, believing as we do, that the
people in electing to have the city
government run by . commission,
sought to obviate the condition now
about to obtain, and the powers of a
sinister political being to be so
strengthened that his ambitions will
know no goal at the cost of the taxpayers.

It is true and the fact cannot be driven
home too often. An occasional lull gives
one a little hope news of a submarine
being sunk is acclaimed as a great feat, and
so it is, but the destruction of a dozen
U-boats does not hurt Germany as much
as the sinking of one grain boat does us.
Germany in the submarine war has us
at an advantage ; .she has all to gain and
nothing to lose if in this tight to a finish
every one of the submarines are destroyed,
German military power will not be affected,
whreas if our supply ships are destroyed
our armies, no matter how large, no mat

perish. And Germany in the past

and grief who have just received the news
of the destruction of their loved ones in

are glad to note sentiment holds in the

The cold truth is, Germany has been
winning Instill winning. America's power
is enormous, but that power has not vet
made itself felt. Russia's staying in the
war will add nothing it will simpb- keep
things as thev were another case where
our work had all to loe and nothing to
gain.
True. Germany did not win the war ac
cording to plan, but if Germany has not
raptured Paris, she has created the Middle
European Empire; she has been steadily
forced back, but she has bled her enemies
white at the same time and they were
