JAPAN'S REASONS FOR
ATTACKING GERMANY

Interference by German cruisers
with the shipping of Japan's ally,
Great Britain, the seizure of Jap
anese goods in German bottoms and
the consequent grave dislocation of
Japanese trade are the principal
reasons set forth by Japan in ex-
planning the ultimatum delivered to
Germany last Sunday. Gable dis
spatches have contained brief out
line of the Japanese grievances, but
the full text of the Japanese for
eign Offices statement on this sub
ject was not available until Friday
This document said:
From the beginning of hostilities
between England and Germany the
latter has been bending all her en-
ergies to strengthening all the for
tifications at Kiao Chau, even en-
forcing Chinese coolies to labor upon
them. Meanwhile the German squad
rons in the far east have been MAX
ing incessant appearances in Chi
nese waters, making Kiao Chau their
base, and in cooperation with Ger
man converted cruisers, threatening
and interfering with British ship
ping and commerce.
In the meantime the above action
by Germany has greatly demoralized
Japan's trade interests by obtaining
and distributing her shipping routes
and commerce. In fact, the whole
eastern commercial world has been
thrown into state of utmost un-
easiness. Some of the japanese
merchant vessels have been detain-
ed and all the Japanese cargoes on
German merchant vessels have been
requisitioned.
''It is clear that unless Germany
has a strong base at Kfao Chau the
conditions outlined could never have
been produced. 1t is this possession
of Kiao Chau that is solely respon-
sfble for 1t all; 1t is the strongest
weapon in Germany's hands, so far
as the far east is concerned.
| 1.-The history of the seizure of the
place by Germany and her conduct
preceding and including her inter
yention, in conjunction with Russia
and France, after the Chino-Japan-
csc war, shows that it is absolutely
necessary to eliminate such posses
sion completely if Japan is to restore
immediate complete peace in the fal
| east in accordance with the terms Ot
the Ang1o-Japanese alliance"

Use to pay, and its currency was
worthless The last year OF the war
the people Of the South used Con
federate currency more as a play

patriotism causing them to give it a

most sure it hadn't any. On the
other side, for all the great wealth
and resources of the North, and the
confidence OF the people, its paper
money deprecated some, it was
not at par with gold, and had there
been much doubt OF the result OF the
contest it would have been at a
great discount. The paper money
issued by the continental congress
from 1777 to 1888 wasn't worth

OILED SAND ROADS

Editor Star: On November 9, the
annual meeting of the American
Road Congress begins at Atlanta,
Ga. In an outline of the work of
the congress occurs the following:
"A new form of construction
which is now attracting considerable
attention from engineers, known as
the sand-oil method, by which roads
are constructed thru the mixing of
asphaltic oil and sand, will be quite
generally discussed. This type of
road is in successful use in the Cape
Cod region of Massachusetts and in
the vicinity of Palm Beach, Fla
You have printed one or two ref
erences to this type of road, from
sections in Florida other than Palm
Beach, in which almost incredible
claims were made for it's cheapness
of construction and wearing quail
| ties. Either these sections are sadly
deceived, or else they have hit ON
something that is worth untold mill
| lions to Florida. The fact that the
American Highway Association gives
recognition to the sand-oil road to
the extent of a place on the road
congress program leads me to con-
clude that Marion county cannot af-
ford to remain in ignorance of it.
| You have a capable, enterprising
Intelligent county highway engineer.
Why not send him at once to inves-
tigate the claims of this type of road,
as proved in the experience of Palm
Beach and other communities which
have experimental with it? Unless
your commissioners have reliable
evidence that the method is not what
is claimed for it, longer delay in get
ting full information seems indefen-
sible.
l have long been persuaded that
asphaltic oil will eventually solve
most of our road building problems
l have driven over oiled limestone
streets for five years / have had
wide observation of the use of oil as
a surface binder. / have marveled
that Ocala's limestone streets have
not been oiled. Recently I had the
pleasure OF brief visit from c. l.
Anderson, and as / drove him over
the smooth, dustIess, mudless oiled
macadam streets of my suburban
town, / asked why Ocala had not
long since protected its streets from
wear and it's residents from dust and
mud by oil-sprinkIing once or twice
a year. He could not answer, nor
mas any other resident of your city
given me satisfactory reply. As
suredly it Is not from lack of money
or intelligence. The rooter and the
roller are necessary to keep the sur
face of your streets smooth, and the
operation of ripping up the surface
and rolling it down again, would be
seldom needed If heavy oil were
sprinkled over the surface. In Ma
perviIIe we have proved that oil
sprfnkIing is far cheaper and fal
more satisfactory than water sprinkl
ing on macadam streets.
i Water-bound macadam answered
fairly well the old time demands OF
streets and highways, but it will no
meet the requirements of modern
traffic. Flood and drouth are arcf
enemies of limestone roads. Florids
suffers from both conditions. OF
viii protect from both. Marion
county is wasting money in building
lime and clay roads OF sand and OF
can be built to wear. Why not fint
out about 1t without further delay?

1t is pitiabIe to witness the repu-
diation of a man who has the ele-
ments of greatness. Tom Watson is
the man in question. He has mas
ter mind but his viperous disposi-
ton has caused him to be despised
even among his own people. In the
Georgia primary of Wednesday
Hoke Smith and Tom Hardwick car
ried Tom Watson's home county.
Nothing was too base for Watson to
charge against Smith and Hardwick.
He abused them until nothing was
left that he could say. That the
people resent such attacks and tao
tics was evident in the fact that
Watson could not influence his owl
county against them.-Orlando Re
porter Star.
A number of years ago, Tom Wat
son spoke and wrote like he had a.
least the elements of greatness in
him, but of late he has degenerateC

nasty one at that.

Mexico, where people would not
take Huerta's currency unless it was
forced on them at the point of the
bayonet, and Europe, where people
will not part with their goods except
