these men, a case was cited of a case
at Klondyke, where two men, three
women and eisht children were ill in
the same home. The mother and chil
dren were taken ill when the influ
enza first became epidemic and sent
for relatives to come to their assist
ance, who in turn succumbed to the
disease.
Several of the splendid young men
of the navy, who have been working:
with the relief committee, were sent
J out to make investigations and - re-
mained to take entire charge Of the
sick. These boys have nursed,
cooked and washed for these families.
One of them ,a fine stalwart young1
fellow, after caring for his patients,
putting the wash out on the line and
preparing their nourishment, returned
to town Friday and stocked up with
cooking utensils, crockery and other
necessary articles ' lacking in the
humble home, many of these having
been contributed by Palafox: mer
chants. This is given as Just one instance
of what these boys are doing. They
are not only working at headquarters,
helping in a clerical way, but they
are going into home after home, tak
ing the place of a trained nurse, and
of cook and caretaker as well.
"ily idea Of Christian service is the
kind of service these boys are giving,"
said a man at headquarters yesterday.
"The people of Pensacola hardly real
ize what they have done. Without their
help it would have been impossible to
control the situation, and unless these
boys had remained on the job as they
did, I don't know how we should have
managed to carry the work through.
"During the past few days we have
been mainly dependent upon their ef
forts. We feel that there are others
who should and would offer their ser
vices, if they realized the need. But
because they think conditions are bet
ter, they do not realize the necessity.
Pensacola today is like an army that
has just won a battle, with the enemy
lurking in ambush. This Is not the
time to relax, it is a time to continue
efforts until Pensacola can say that
there is no longer any influenza in her
borders. Then, and only then, will the
situation be saved."

By E. C. ROOGEnS
N. E. A., Washington Bureau
Washington, D. C, Oct. 19. When
the one-time conqueror retreats then
you get a close-up picture of what he
did while conquering.
The French, British and Americans
are getting such pictures in northern
France.
The Greets are getting them today
in Macedonia from which the Bulgars
have retired.
' The awfulness of Bulgar atrocities may
be judged by this official statement
made to the Newspaper Enterprise As
sociation by George Roussos, minis
ter of Greece to the United States:
' "According to the cabled statement
of the Greek government just received
the German atrocities Jn Belgium could
be considered child play compared to
what the miserable Greek populations
of East Macedonia have experienced.
"The population of Serres was 23,
000 before the occupation and hardly
COOO are left today. The majority of
Ihem look more like ghosts than hu
man beings. No woman or young girl
has been respected.
"Cavalle which was a flourishing
town appears to anyone who had
wnown it in her happy day as having
been the prey of an earthquake or of
a volcanic eruption.
"We understand that the Greek gov
ernment is making an urgent appeal to
her allies and neutral governments to
send representatives to the spot so
they can see what havoc has been in
flicted on that part of Greece.
"Sixty thousand males have been de
ported into concentration camps in
Bulgaria where the elementary prin
ciples of humanity are ignored. They
are looking to the United States to in
tervene so that they may be allowed
to return to their homes."
Whatever peace terms the other al
lies may have, Greece considers her
most important item future protection
against the Bulgarians, the restoration
of Greek property destroyed and the
return of Greeks to Greece and her
provinces.
"Nothing can ever right the wrong
done the Greeks by the Bulgarians."
said First Secretary Constantine of the
legation.
"Greek frnons nnw rTxriiTwinc f ho
, i ' 1 . -
Greek provinces which since the be
ginning of J916 had been unjustly oc
cupied by the Bulgarians, taking ad
vantage of former King Constantine's
treachery, have found the inhabitants
enslaved, males deported, and what Js
worse, half the Greek' women the mo
thers of children of Bulgarian soldiers,
forced into the vilest form of slavery
by these Bulgarians. A large percen
tage of the women and girls have been
diseased by the Bulgarians."
That is the trail of the Bulgarian
conqueror in Macedonia. Much evi
dence of similar nature is piled up in
the Washington headquarters of Serb
ian. Rumanian and Montenegrin diplo
mats. Armenia and Thrace have suffered in
the same way at the hands of the
Turk.
A Greek delegation is now In Amer
ica to acquaint the United States gov
ernment with the frightfulness of
Turkish warfare in Thrace, where the
Greek Christian populations have been
butchered, enslaved, and where the
women have been treated as shame
fully as the Bulgars treated the Mace
donians, and the Huns treated the Bel
gians. INDICATIONS ARE THAT

Praise Given Committee
While words of praise were heard
on 'every side last night, for the splen
did work that has been accomplished
in Pensacola, all joined in expressing
appreciation of the services of J.
Frank Taylor, who has been unfailing
in his efforts, from the first moment
the loan was launched, until the last
moment details had received attention
last night. - c
And to the unremitting work and
the persistent optimism of Tl. F. Mit
chell, the committee felt that much of
the success was due.
J. M. Muldon, while unable to give
his personal atention to the work dur
ing the close of the campaign, kept
constantly in touch with headquarters
by phone and messenger, and to him
the committee is indebted.
But the highest praise they gave to
the volunteer, that big force which
sent the loan- over the top in such
short order and with such a splcndi .
sum to Escambia's credit. 4

Want ad, columns ought ..to contain

for the elaborate cottage built for him
on the banks of the Somme River.
The conquering British found the
cottage, newly erected and never oc
cupied, but obviously intended as a
permanent summer home for the "all
highest." It stands as proof that the
Huns meant to keep a tight fist on the
land they had invaded.
The cottagg 13 of elaborate architec

40 persons. There is a huge brick fire
place, surmounted by a mantlepiece,
above which are carved wood niches
for ornaments. Windows are double
glazed and equipped with fly screens.
Rooms are paneled with valuable wood
The ceilings are of square wooden pan

wood at each corner.
. Throughout the furnishings are mag
nificent and the cottage was fully
equipped as if just ready when the
British rudely interrupted for the re
ception of the kaiser.
Even the grounds surrounding the
cottage had been beautified, a double

leading to the cottage door.
DRY WORLD IS AIM
OF GREAT CONFERENCE
Columbus, Oct. 19. An international
conference of temperance and prohi
bition workers will assemble in this
city one month from today to discuss
way's of aiding in winning the war and
some kind of cohesion among the anti
alcohol forces of the world looking
toward world-wide destruction of the
liquor traffic. This cohesion will prob
ably take the form of an international
conference of anti-liquor forces, to be
held at the time when the peace con
ference is being conducted.
- A call for the conference to be held
in this city has been issued by the
Anti-Saloon League of America. Every
temperance organization and govern
ment of the countries allied with the
United States, as well as the neutrals,
has been asked to send delegates.
Those who are organizing the con
ference declare that the unusual bene
fits experienced by-the nations where
thre has been any considerable sup
pression of alcoholic beverages have
been so uniform as to leave only one
course open to insure the greatest in
dustrial efficiency, highest moral . con
ditions and strongest military forces,
namely, ' complete prohibition of liquor
manufacture and consumption.
The conference will discuss ; means
of presenting to the peace conference
the wisdom of prohibition as an article
of the peace agreement.

POISOQ SHIP DACES
J U-BOAT
(By t X.; E. A. Staff Correspondent)
Paris,: France, Oct. 19. A poison ship
is the strangest vessel that has come
out of America to ; help'- beat the Hun.
The tale of its voyage iof thrills has
come from an American. naval base at
a French port. . , .
Several thousand huge steel drums,
containing gallons of the. most deadly
poison gas ever made, were on board.
The drums of death held enough poi:
son gas to kill the whole German army
What if a torpedo -struck the ship
or a submarine's shell ripped a hole in
one of those drums 1 The imagina
tion cracks under : the strain.
So. on board the poison 'ship there
was a gas mask drill daily. Thousands
of miles from the trenches, in the
midst of the ocean, there was- the
strange sight of a gas mask drill.
Every member of the crew -and ev
ery officer had . been taught how to
sling the flat bag over the shoulder ;
how to snatch it around and hook it
under the chin at the first warning of
danger: how to snap the "clothespin'.'
closing: both nostrils ; how to grip the
mouthpiece between the teeth, and how
to breath through the tube.
Then Comes Danger
They had a drill like that three times
a day. And on the tenth day there w-as
engine trouble and the poison ship had
to drop behind. - Then, just at the end
of the evening gas mask drill, came a
submarine, 9000 yards astern !
The poison , ship was limping along
at six or seven knots, and the U-boat
was coming to the surface and man
ning the guns. The captain of the poi
son ship shouted orders : to open . fire
with the stern gun, to S. O. S. for help
and to tell the chief engineer the crip
pled machines would have to respond
immediately or the poison ship was
done for.
Shots fell astern. The submarine was

It was just In time. Shells from th
approaching submarine were falling
only 20 yards astern. In another five
minutes' they would have been rattling
among the drums of death.
It was "a race now between "the poi
son ship and the U-boat. For 15 min
utes it was a dead . heat, the shells cf
the poison ship's stern gun and of the
U-boat Just barely missing the respec
tive targets. Then the smoke smudg
of a destroyeyr appeared on the hori
zon. The-destroyer was streaking to

Last night I went into the "used-to-be-bar"
and asked the waiter for the
best drink he could serve me-reached
for the brass rail while waiting for
him to get it but it wasn't there. How
ever the coldest bottle I've seen in a
long time was set down in front of me
and say. friend, the amber fluid that
flowed from that bottle was the finest 4
I've ever tastedall the snap and zest
that any man' could want with a little
more added. Of course you have al
ready guessed what the name of that
drink was BEAUFONT.
Beaufont every time is my newest resolution
but it's not sroingr to be the usual kind I mafc
every new. year. "Beaufont Ginger Ale is real
Ginger Ale."
