Speaks Familiarly of Greek War.

Officers as well as correspondents
listen when he speaks familarly Of the
Greek war of sixteen years ago, when
smoke powder was used That ne
calls an ''old-fashioned' war because
troops deployed in open order as in the
civil war. He not only went through
that war. but was in the Filipino
rebellion side by side with Funston, in
command here, made the march to Pek-
ing with the troops of the allied powers,
was in the Macedonian rebellion, the
Russo-Japanse war, all of the recent
Balkan wars, and "a number of Central
American AFFAIRS as he expresses it.
All this war experience has made Mr..
Palmer an apostle of peace. OF all
American writer's on the subject of war
he has seen more and written more than
any other man, living or dead. civilian or
military. according to military authorities
here, and he has been exceeded in this
respect only by the late Archibald Forbes
and by Frederick Villiers, who does not
now write as much as he formerly did.
Mr.. Palmer was kind enough to include
the correspondent of The Star in the
list Of those who dined with him tonight
and afterWard consented that The Star
should print some views he holds, as well
as some "reminiscences, which may prove
interesting to number OF Washington

said. lis not a war and 1t can never be
considered in history az such. This is
what technical experts call guerrilla
warfare 1t is distinction with a great
difference.
But no matter what may come out OF
the present situation here, all the wars
in the future will be on the American
continent. Frontiers are not fixed on
the American continent. and with the ex-
ception of the United States and possibly
Canada the situation that exists in Mex

4 special to the Tampa Tribune
from Wildwood has the following
about the tragedy near that place
yesterday morning:
Seaboard Special Agent j. HI.

fed yeggman We're instantly killed
and NJ. d. Blackburn wounded in a
ristol duel this morning about 2

Lane shot six times, hitting the
yeggman FIVE times and Blackburn
once. The yeggman shot four times
and hit Lane twice. breaking his
neck.
Blackburn claims he was riding
under permission en- routefto Wau-
chula to visit relatives and played
no part in the duel. He is held as a.
probable accomplice pending the ex---
animation of a coroner's jury, which
has adjourned until tomorrow. Black

boarded the train at Hawthorne and
had a Colt automatic pistol. The
body was placed in the warehouse.
for inspection, and was armed with
fuses and caps and other articles
familiar to the professional safe
blower. He had ON his person two
hundred and forty dollars in stamps,
which were identified by Postmaster
Lowry of Lawtey, who says that they

safe was blown bN two yeggmen

Criminal May be Cannameyer
The Jacksonville Metropolis of
yesterday said in regard to the case:
Efforts are being made today by
Sheriff Dowling and the police to OBJ
tain information from Ocala, which
is thought will identify one of the
alleged robbers as G. d. Cannameyer,
the famous safe blower who broke
out of the Duval county jail a few
I days ago.
Information received today from
citizen OF Lawtey, Fla, the scene of
the postofFice robbery on Tuesday
night, states that two men who pro-
fessed to be religious workers had
been working in that vicinity. One
of the men is said TO have resembled
the description of Cannameyer and
he had been preaching on the streets.

CONSERVATION
Address Delivered Before the At
lantic Inland Waterways Associa-
Simeon L. Sistrunk, of Ocala.

Mr.. President, Ladies and gentle
men: Recently a traveller in for
eign land, standing upon mountain
cliff overlooking a broad expanse of
ocean blue, bethought himself for a
moment in great danger. Upon in
vestigation, however, he found that
the pople darting here and there
among the cliffs seemingly lost were
"cliff gardeners" and their queer
looking instruments which they
1ourished at random were seed
sprinklers loaded with the seeds of
the rarest and sweetest of flowers,
which they were firing into the rock
crevaces that blossoms might grow
whereby the men, women and little
children passing along the way might
find rest and beauty instead of bar
ren stones.
Uncle Sam is the traveller this
evening directing US along the way
of Conservation" with the hope that
"the little Americans" with their
highest and most artistic natures
may brighten the pathways through
the transitory life of future genera
.tions passing this way.
Mr.. Webster defines "Conserva-
ton" as the act of keeping and pro-
tecting from loss or injury, health or
social, order, specially the preser-
vation OF our rivers and harbors.
As a nation for years we have
been studying the higher arts and

methods of Conservation" for there
is an art in knowing how TO do
things well. There is a man in

amassed a fortune through his thrift
and energy and science in handling

stands with her arms outstretched to

small scale just as the government
is trying to do on a huge one.
! If the government had begun the
practice long ago, as far back as our
generations did in the home, the
people of today would not only have
been born to it, but educated to it as
well, not to be stingy but to despise
waste. The government will be a
good mother to us all if We will only
| let her. She has come to realize that
if she lets your generation and mine
use up everything worth having
there won't be anything left for the
next generation to live on. The
thoughtful men and women Of today
are troubling their souls almost out

where We store rain water for the

irrigating our desert lands and pro-

contents, must be required TO pay
value FOR what he takes, and that no
one generation has the right to make
resources, that succeeding genera
tions will be deprived of the benefit
of them. Second, forests must no
longer be swept down like grains in
the fields, but only those trees should
be cut which are mature ana which
can be spared without leaving the
ground unprotected. The water must
be stored in reservoirs when the
streams are full. and must be con-
trolled, that IN the dry season every
owner of arid land or water power

mines. instead o. being sold outright

by the government and leased to the
operator who shall pay the most for
the privilege OF working them.
Thus the people, thru their repre-
sentatives at Washington, can keep
their hands on the whole business
, keeping it out OF the clutches of
spectators.
There are one billion, nine hun
| dre1 and twenty million acres OF
Land in the United States proper
! Somewhat more than half OF this is
capable of cultivation, but only about
quarter is actually producing farm
crops today. From that quarter are
being fed 90.0o0,000 men and wo-
men. According to the statistics there
are grown 2,500,000, 900 bushels OF
corn per year in the United States
along with 100000 bushels oi
wheat; also 1900, 900 head of cat,
tie, 1 56.0OO,O00 head of hogs, 54,-
100000 head of sheep, and 250,-
000.000 head OF poultry.
This seems very good indeed, and
things are we'll enough as they stand

next fifty years our population viii
