The world is now 'witnessing, the beginning of the final break-up of the Central Alliance as a military power. How rapidly the Austro-German collapse will come no man can tell, but the period of ascend encj' now reached by the allies will continue to the end. ' sff This summarizes the British official view of the greatest week of the war. For the first time since 1914, Germany finds her front and rear caving in at the same time. Events even more momentous than those of the last few days lie just ahead. Some predict that Rumania will rejoin the al lies as a fighting nation. Constantinople will be ;aken, the Dardanelles opened, and the Black Sea, for years known as "a German lake," will be con quered. Austria will in all probability be invaded, and an Austrian collapse will result. Then will come the big smash into Germany, svith American troops forming a. large part of Marshal Foch's battering-ram. , Germany will doubtless make veritable host ages of the Austrian people, keeping them in subjection as long as possible. A final and desperate peace offensive by Ger many was certain to follow the Bulgar debacle. Unrest is growing in Germany, but despite the certainty of the kaiser's defeat most officials are skeptical of any revolutionary movement in the central empire succeeding. A splurge of democ ratization of German governmental systems and important changes in the government was to be expected. The resignation of Hertling and Von Payer are significant demonstrations of the po litical upheaval that is to come in Hunland.. The depression and hopelessness prevalent in Ger many become more evident every day. It will be increased by the answer which Pres ident Wilson is certain to give the German chan cellor. The allies are dubious of the sincerity of the peace proposals. They recall Germany's lack of faith in the past and they are convinced that world safety can be only assured through un conditional surrender by the central powers. Meanwhile, they will continue pounding the Hun on all sides until he is forced to follow the course of Bulgaria. The war may not end for a long time. But visions of a German defeat are brighter than at any time since August, 1914. HOLD TO THE FACTS. Since the entrance of the ; United States into the world war, the cry has been to those at home to give their encouragement to those who fight to do their part in keeping up the morale of the men at the front. Today the people of Pensacola are on the fir ing line. They need courage. They need faith, j They need the fighting spirit. Unless the morale of the fighting forces is maintained, we can not win out over the conditions which we are facing. There is not a man, woman or child in this city who cannot help in this fight. arp sirV and are unable to vet as- .L41UUW AAV J V -- . C3 sistance, can do their part by reporting at once to their district chairman, in-order that the dis ease may be taken in hand at once. Those who are well can do their part by giving their support to the work that is eing done in Pensacola. And everybody can help by refraining from exaggeration of any kind. During the past few days a number of reports of deaths of well-known people have swept through the city, carried from one to another and causing alarm where there was no occasion. The situation in Pensacola is bad enough at its best. But if people .allow themselves to be swept, into a frame of mindthat makes a fact of every falsehood, the morale of the fighting forces will be entirely disintegrated. There is no one in Pensacola today who does not realize the gravity of the situation we are facing. There is no one who will not admit that ie situation is bad at its best. But there is no one who , can deny that the people are , aroused to their civic responsibilities, and are making every effort to check the spfead of influenza in this section. , Going about and relating stories of the deaths of people who are walking the streets of the city, or who, having been ill, are on the road to recov ery, does not help matters. Fear is negative. Courage is positive. We need all the courageous people who are willing, to get into this fight and FIGHT. Anybody can go out and talk. Anybody can stand on street cor ners and detail horrors. Let the man or the woman wh ois busy circu lating false reports as to deaths and conditions, spend their time helping to remedy conditions. The place to report tragedies is to headquarters. The place to tell harrowing stories is to your dis trict chairman or to the central committee. The thing to do is help work out this problem, and build up the morale of the people of this city. There was never a time when Pensacola so needed men and women to work, to have faith, to have courage, to have consecration to serviced If you think conditions are bad in Pensacola, don't spend your time talking about it, but do something to correct it. What is needed is work not talk. Nurses are wanted. Help of all kinds is wanted. Get busy and help. Don't stand idle and hinder by relat ing sad stories and exaggerating things which are bad enough at the best The Weather Weather Bureau. '- A suggestion to Escambia county farmers : Do you believe in dragging the road and your neigh bors do not? Begin dragging your part right now, keep it up faithfully, and your neighbors will be won over by the example of your industry and the good road it builds. One of the curious facts brought to light in the war is that only Tmwounded men suffer from shell shock. Eminent surgeons say that a wound neu tralizes the psychic sense in other words, that nerves do not affect a wounded man in the same way as an unwounded one. The late Czar of Russia, before his deposition, possessed a single etsate covering over 100,000, 000 acres that is, about three times the entire area of England. ' " i) V. S.

The principle has never had such a demonstration in practice like that which i3 represented in the League of Nations to de stroy the vicious system represented in Kaiser ism. Without co-operation by the civilized Na tions, the world could not have hoped to escape enslavement by Prussian autocracy. The splendid examples of loyalty to country set before us every day are lessons that will bear fruit in the years to come. Loyalty demands co operation of the people with one another and with the government. The loyalty given so freely to the Nation is in a measure also due the State and community in which we live. We should co-operate .with each other and with our leaders in advancing the wel fare of community, State and country. The gunpowder of community interest lies within each of us."

Price 60c--Adv. v Very general regret has been ex pressed in Pensacola at the news of the death on the ill-fated patrol boat The Tampa, of J. T. Carr, first lieu tenant engineers, of Jamaica Plains, Mass. Lt. Carr was well known in Pensa cola, where he succeeded Lt. Freder ick Young, in charge of the coast launch, Penrose.' While here he , looked after local navigation and motor boat laws, and made many friends, whose sympathy goes out to bis wife, who was with him during his service nere. xjn February,, 1917, Lt. Carr was transferred to the cutter Tampa, at Key. West, Fla, as the engineer offi cer. The Tampa left the states for the war zone shortly after war was declared .and its loss was announced by the navy department, through As sociated PreSs dispatches on the morning of September 4th. It was sunk on the night of September 26th, in the -British channel off the coast of England. Vice Admiral Sims in a message commenting on the fine service per formed by the cutter, reported that on September 5th Rear Admiral Nob lock addressed .a letter to Capt. Sat terlee, congratulating the officers and crew upon their work in escorting eighteen convoys between Glkraltar and British ports, and being always ready for service when called upon.

Watch the Little Pimples; They are Nature's Warning Unsightly and Disfiguring Sig nals of Bad Blood. Don't close your eyes to the warn ing which nature gives when unsight ly pimples appear on your face and other parts of the body. Not only are these pimples and splotches disfiguring, but they lead to serious skin diseases that spread and cause the most discomforting irrita tion and pain. Sometimes they fore tell eczema, boils, blisters, scaly erup tions and other annoyances that burn like flames of fire, and make you feel that your skin is ablaze. When these symptoms appear on any part of the body, take prompt steps to rid the blood of these disor ders. And the one remedy whic! has no equal as a purifier is S. S. S., the purely vegetable blood medii clhe, which has been on the market! for more " than fifty years. It is soli by druggists' everywhere. If you are afflicted with any form of skin disease do not expect to ba cured by ; lotions, ointments, salve?, and other, local remedies, as theyi cannot possibly reach the source o(J the trouble, which is in the blood. Begin taking S. S. S. today, ard write a complete history of your casal to our chief medical adviser who will give you Special instructions without charge.
