There has been a passage at arms
between the Times-Union and the
Tampa papers, in regard to the Gus
toms district squabble, in which the
T.-U. seems to have come off first
best. At the beginning of the con-
troversy, the T.-U., with unusual
fairness, said Tampa had the right of
the matter, but this concession didn't
keep the Tampa papers from handing
Jacksonville a right smart of abuse.
A few days ago, the T.-U,, probably
tired Of the incessant attacks on its
home town, made a more forcible
than polite a1lusion to Tampa
hogs. This was wrong, but in it's
place the Star would have said some
thing almost as bad and said it
quicker. The Star has always thought
that Tampa should have the customs
headquarters, but it never did see
any sense in abusing Jacksonville
The people of Jacksonville have more
luck or more ability in getting what
they want, but as for greediness they
have no morotof it than those of any
other town.

The Tampa Times speoulates abou

The Tampa Times speculates about
the next democratic candidate for
president. 1t will be Wilson, of
course, if he wants to run. There are
indications, however, that Mr.. Will
son doesn't want a second term. So
the Times alludes to the chances of
Bryan, Champ Clark and Underwood.
Mr.. Bryan will never be president.
He is not any where near as strong
as he was two years ago, and for the
party to put him up would invite de-
feat. Champ Clark is too old. If
Wilson does not run again, Under
wood will be the logical candidate,
though some other big man may
come to the front in the next twelve
months.

To the Pensacola Journal must be
handed the palm for consistent and
loyal friendship for the secretary of
state. Tt just will not acknowledge
that there is a possibility that Mr..
Bryan is not the greatest man and
the greatest secretary of state, ever.

1t isn't likely that the present Gus
toms district arrangement of Florida
will be changed at this meeting of
Congress. While it is a very un-
symmetrical arrangement for the
state, it fits in with the system for
the whole country which was devised
more for efficiency and economy than
for any other reason. Mr.. Under
wood is said to be against any dds
turbance of this system, and he is
right. He has always shown a dis
position to work for the country at
large and the party, and Florida
democrats should be willing to aid
him.

War Summary

Violent attacks and counter at
tacks for possession OF the sea
coast In the extreme north OF
France continued without decisive
results.
Only one official statement
that from Paris-had come
through yesterday. II threw
little light on the situation, being
brief and referring 20 events OF
the day before.
The attacks OF the Germans,
especially severe at Nleuport
Dixmunde and I,eBassee, Tuesday,
we're repulsed. says the French
war office. There was no note
worthy change elsewhere on the
battle front. News dispatches in
dicatc the sharpest fighting in the
vicinity OF Lille. with a renewal of
activity at vital points all along
the line.
Counter claims regarding the
situation In the east leave much to
speculation. There appears, how
ever, little doubt that the Ger
man advance in Russian Poland
has been so successful that War
saw Is seriously threatened.
Przemysl in Galicia remains in
the possession OF the Austro-Ger-
man forces, There has been re-
newal of activity in Eustern Prus-
sia without definite result, A
statement from Vienna. issued
yesterday. says that the fighting
in central Galicia has become
more severe and that Austrian at
tacks are progressing.
A news dispatch from Copen-
hagen says that German torpedo
boats have been engaged with an
enemy in the Baltic. off the Prus-
Sian coast. No details are given.
Albania looks again as a pos
sible influence on the attitude OF
Italy towards the war. The
Italian government has denied
that italian troops had occupied
Avlena, which has been threat
ened by insurgents since the abb
dicatlon or Prince William Of
Weld. At the same time the
Giornale D. Italia OF Rome de-
clares that there is s state of an
archy at Axlona; intimstes that
Greece is taking advantage OF the
disturbed conditions. and declares
that the italian government has
notified the powers that Il will
not tolerate violation Of the IN
tegrity OF Albania.
Rome reports unofficially that
the Anglo-Frenoh fleet is still
bombarding Cattaro, Dalmatia.
Turkeys attitude IS a matter
of concern to all the belligerents.
The Porte is reported have for
hidden warships TO enter the Gulf
OF Smyrna. The inhabitants Of
Smyrna recently we're said to
have been in great fear OF naval
attack. An Athens dispatch says
that two submarines and some
aeropIanes are being shipped to
Constantinople through Bulgaria.
A few days ago large quantity Of
munitions OF war consigned to
Turkey by rail were held up in
Bulgaria.
There are further rumors OF a
German intention TO begin a great
aerial campaign. Following re-
ports that airship sheds we're be-
ing constructed at Brussels and
Antwerp comes rumors of similar
buildings under way at Tondern
and Rostock.
Thousands Of BelgIans who fled
into Holland are returning to
their homes. There are. however,
100000 Belgians in England and
more on their way. Preparations
TO give employment. TO these later
are being made.
