Senator Nathan P. Bryan of Flor
ida for judge of the circuit court of
appeals, fifth circuit, New Orleans,
to succeed the late Judge Shelby.
THAT is the program of the Flor
ida delegation in both houses of
Congress, and this morning they
held meeting presided over by
Senator Fletcher and decided to en-
dorse the junior Florida senator to
President Wilson for the bench APP
pointment. ALL members of the
Florida delegation were present with
the exception of Congressman Len

Bryan is endorsed by his co-workers
is one of the most important circuits
in the South. Tt would be a decided
recognition of Florida and its bar for
a Florida man to get this appoint
ment"

JAPs MORE DANGEROUS
THAN THE GERMANS

The following from st. Petersburg
may be taken for what it is worth:
Russian military experts say the
equipment of the Germans is excel
lent, and that their artillery is good,
but that their rifle shooting is de-
f1cient as regards accuracy. They
add that the Japanese were infinitely
superior in this respect in the Russo
japanese war and accomplished in
an hour what the Germans would
require day to do.
Wounded officers who just arrived
from East Prussia give a few pic
turesque details of the fighting. Ger
man artillery, they say, is good, but
Germans cannot endure cold steel.
The spirit eliminating the Russian
soldiers is entirely different from
that shown i'm the Japanese war.

GERMANS PROTECTED IN JAPAN

The Japanese minister of the in
terror has issued the following in
structfons to the local governors
with regard to the protection OF the
Germans residing in the empire:
Japan harbors not the least en-
nifty toward the subjects and people
of Germany. Those Germans who
are now in the empire can, there
fore, continue to reside therein
without any feeling of uneas5ness.
Furthermore, those who wish ITO
leave this country or to come in are
at perfect liberty to do so. So long
as they engage in peaceful and law
full pursuits their person, life, honor
and property shall be protected ac-
cording TO law. They shall also en-
joy the usual privilege of access to
the imperial court for redress. +"

KITCHENER EXPECTS
4 LONG CONFLICT

Lord Kitchener in the House of
Lords, in his first speech as minister
of war, drew an impressive and sob
ering picture of what the present
conflict has in future for the British
Empire.
Asserting the government is now
calling into being field army which
in six months may rise to 1000
men, the field marshal warned his
hearers the struggle may last three
years or more and will strain to the
utmost the resources of the empire.
Lord Kitchener said:
over seventy battalions have,
with fine courage, already volun-
teered for service abroad. When
they are trained and organized in
larger formations they viii be able
to take their places in the line.
The scale of the field army which
we are now calling into being is
large and may rise in the course of
the next six or seven months to a
total of thirty divisions (about 600,-
900 mem, to he continually main
tanned in the field
but if the war should be pro-
tracted, and if its fortunes should be
varied or adverse, exertions and sac
rifices beyond any which have been
demanded will be required from the
whole nation and empire"

WE WOULD DO THE SAME WAY

The Cologne Gazette of August
18th gives great prominence to the
'abominable deeds of the Belgian
population, and prints an article,
entitled Belgian Atrocities con-
tribution from a Germany army doc
tor designed TO controvert the re-
ports in the French press of the
burning OF Belgian villages by the
Germans.
The writer declares that the Ger
man troops have suffered from the
Belgian population-men women
and boys treatment such as is only
to he expected in fighting with saw
ages. Belgian civilians he writes,
shoot out of every house, from be-
hind every thick bush, with blind
hatred upon everything that is Ger
man. In the very first days of the
campaign we lost number of dead
and wounded through the civilians.

STRIVING TO HELP
WITH NAVAL STORES

A Times-Union special from Wash
ington says:
Congressman Frank Clark, realiz-
ing that the very life blood of FIori-
da's commercial business activity
depends upon taking care of the nav
al stores business in the face of the
present war in Europe, was at the
treasury department today looking
into the matter with members of the
federal reserve board.
Mr.. Clark was able to furnish the
Times-Union correspondent with a
list of men who have been appointed
to take charge of the entire agricul-
tural products situation, including
tobacco, cotton and naval stores.
This committee will formulate feas-
able plans which it is believed will
be worked out Immediately.
81 recognize" Mr.. Clark said,
"that Florida is the greatest pro
Queer of naval stores of any section
in the world, producing more than
80 per cent of the entire output.
therefore, it is up to her Congress
men and Others interested to take
hold of the situation just like the
cotton men are handling their troub-
les and work until something is ac-
comphshed.
u believe understand this situa-
tion as we'll as any one else and you
may say for me that l shall not rest
until the naval stores industry is
protected. When this is done we
will have takenta long step toward
protecting one of our largest and
most important industries"

The British claim to have sunk

Wilhelm was one of the crack ships
of the North German Lloyd Line.
The Germans equipped her with a

she supplied one or two German
cruisers with coal, and then ran
across to the African coast, where
she began doing the Alabama act
with British merchant steamers, for
which, being very fast, she was we'll
qualified. She met her Kearsarge
in the British cruiser High Filler,
which lost one killed and five wound
ed. So the Grftish say. They
claimed to have captured the same
boat about three weeks ago.
