5ermany's Hostility to France
Became Aggressive in 1913
SAYS The French YellolU Book

localized and that any Intervention
on the part OF a third power would
result in incalculable consequences
This was tantamount 20 letting II be
understood that Austria should have
every liberty TO crush Servia and that
Germany would have recourse 10
arms 20 prevent Russia from succOr-
ing Servia.
Ask Extension OF Time.
Confronted with this situation the
first thought OF the powers forming
the triple entente was To gain time to
examine the conflict with greater
care, and. if possible. to render II
less acute. The powers therefore
asked that Vienna extend the period
of delay allowed Servia for her an
swer Then Austria became fearful
that she would be left without a pre-
text OF war and she endeavored to
ward Off this danger by another eX-
pedient She declined or avoided the
request for an extension and de-
clared insufficient the Servian answer
which was given TO her in good time.
and which admitted and accepted her
principal demands.
Austria thereupon ordered her
minister at Belgrade 20 leave the
Servian capital July 20 and diplo-
matte relations with Servia were
severed.
England proposed to evade a
crisis by submitting the AustrO-Serb
difficulty TO the official mediation Of
the four powers which were not di-
rectly interested therein. France and
Russia accepted this proposal 20 in
ternationalize the question, but Ger
many refused under the preteXt that
she could not thus humiliate her ally,
and she proposed, in the place of
this common acton, the opening of
direct conversations between Vienna
and st. Petersburg, saying the latter
was ready TO consent TO this arrange
ment
France counselled Servia in the
line of wisdom; she endeavored in
cessantly at St Petersburg to
strengthen her ally Russia. in her at
titude Of moderation, and she took
part in al the peaceful endeavors
made at Berlin and at Vienna. France
can say truthfully that she did not
take up arms except after she per-
ceived military measures and military
provocations hich placed her ma
tional existence in peril"

CHARLIE JONES
MAKES CORRECTION

Our friend, Charlie Jones of Dixie,
who seems to have promoted himself
to the position of deciding who are
democrats and who are not in Flor
ida, penned the following paragraph
for his last publications:
Some Florida newspapers, like
the Times Union, either ignore or
excuse Pleasant Holt in his work of
urging all negroes to register. This
does Senator Fletcher an injustice,
as no one has accused Mr.. Fletcher
of knowing or sanctioning such
work"
Well, Charlie, the Star can't say
that you directly charged Senator
Fletcher with approving of Mr..
Hollis alleged attempts to register
negroes to vote for the senator in the
primary, but if what you said was
not wide open to such an inference,
the Star doesn't know how to inter-
pref the American language. The
Star is glad to see you make your
position on this issue plain at last.
| If you had made it SO at first, it
would have saved much useless dis
cussion.

Why not have a candidate for the
legislature from this section. We
have just as able men in this part
of the county, just as we'll known,
and just as popular and able to win
a nomination for the legislature, if
they would enter the contest Fore
most among these is DR.. Baskin of
Dunnellon, and We hope he can be
induced to contest for the legisla-
ture, and thus put this section on
the political map at the June pri-
mary.-Dunnellon Advocate.
DR.. Baskin has represented this
district in the state senate, and
would doubtless make a good repre-
sentative. Many in Ocala would
gladly vote for him.

Have you noticed the patronizing
attitude that the average county seat
town assumes towards the balance
of the county? Being the seat of the
county government it naturally is
the place where politics thrive, but
the assumption that the whole coun-
ty will always be content to accept
everything that bears the county
seat stamp is becoming more and
more misleading. Of course it is fos-
tered by the apathy with which COM
munities destined to become COM
mercially more important, view this
benevolent administration of county
politics. A case in point is furnish
ed by the chairman of the Marion
county democratic executive commit
tee. who recently issued a warning
to the Ocala voters to register, and
either ignored or neglected this sec
|tion.-Dunnellon Advocate.

WILL BE OPEN JULY ONE

A dispatch from Washington says:
Col. George w. Goethals said to-
day that barring unforeseen accidents
the Panama canal will be open for
merchant ships July l. The colonel
added that he had always been OPP
posed to exemption of American
coastwise shipping from payment of
tolls because that would decrease the
revenues of the canal and in his
opinion would not accrue to the ben
eft of commerce but merely increase
profits of the ship owners
The Panama canal Notifications
are entirely adequate,' said the
canal builder, land l do not think
there is the slightest danger of the
canal being captured by any enemy.
Il am not in politics and do not
intend to dabble in Them" said the
colonel when it was suggested that
some of his friends were booming
him for the governorship of New
York. He was non-commita1 when
questioned concerning the New York
police commissionership.

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
Only Issue in the Campaign, Says
Senator Fletcher, is that Mr..
Stockton Wants the Office.

Jacksonville Metropolis: There is
no issue in the senatorial campaign
that | know of save that Mr.. Stock
ton says he is a progressive and
am 'reactionary said Senator
D. U. Fletcher this afternoon to a
representative of the Florida Metrop-
oils.
Senator Fletcher arrived in the city
this morning for an indefinite stay.
He stated that he would not return
to Washington unless some import
ant measure of which he did not
know at the present time should
come up.
Speaking of the campaign, Mr..
Fletcher said in part:
Il wrote the chairman OF the state
committee when l was here. the last
time suggesting a meeting of the
committee and also suggesting that it
would be a good plan for the said
committee TO work out an itinerary
for the several candidates to follow
| have not heard from the committee
concerning the matter as yet. 1 think
| shall write the chairman again call
ing his attention to the proposition.
1T seems to me that it would be a
good plan for all of the candidates
places and thus save both themselves
and the voters much time and ex-
pense."
The senior senator was asked as to
whom he thought the speaking cam
paign for senator would begin, and
he declared that he did not know, as
he had not heard anything in regard
to the matter from any one in au-
thority.
Mr.. Fletcher was shown a telegram
from Washington in which it was al
legged that the opposition to P. A
Dignan for the appointment as post
master at this place was based upon
religious grounds
There is nothing in that" declar-
L
ton would be untenable and would
not be urged
However, he did not say what his
objections to Mr.. Dignan were
Neither did he mention any candi-
date for the office of postmaster tc
whom he would throw his influence
Again referring to the issue in the
| senatorial campaign the senior sena.
tor declared that when Mr. Stockton
called himself a progressive and
he (Fletcher) a t'reactionary" he was
merely using words and not produc.
ing facts to back up his allegations.
Il think the main issue is Mr.
Stockton wants the office" concluded
the senator.
