WIDTH AND DEPTH OF THE WAR

New York World: Never before

in old days news of hostilities might
not travel for months.

ONLY WAY TO
CHECK EXTORTION

To take advantage of the war in
Europe to raise prices on food is
criminal and the way to stop it is to
stop speculation in foods. The peo-
pie will applaud the sending to jail
of men who have used the war as an
excuse to make every mans meal
cost more.-St. Petersburg indie
pendent.
The temper of the people in re-
gard to this matter is forcibIy ex-
pressed by the following from a
prominent citizen of this county.
Editor Star: | am pleased TO note
that you are giving prominence in
your paper to the fact that the peo-
pie are being robbed by the specula-
tors in food stuffs, and 1 have been
hoping to see that some one has
asked the government, both state
and national, to investigate and see
if some protection cannot be had
for the people against the scoundrels
that are taking advantage of the sit
uation. I notice the department oil
agriculture says that these advances
are unjustifiable and THAT is why
say scoundrels. Cannot something
be done? Yours truly,

Perhaps the best known chieftan
in the great international war drama
is Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, of
Khartoum, war secretary Of England,
while it is safe 20 say the least
known commander is Gen. Joffre,
Generalisimo of France. He is the
youngest officer of his rank in the
French service and is indebted for
his position at the head of the army
not to intrigue or political influence,
but to the unanimous vote OF the
French generals who compose the

DEVELOP FLORIDA

Florida Metropolis: Again it is
we'll to remind the people of Flor
ida that according to census figures
something like 100000 families
change their homes every year. All
of them change to better their con-
ditions Most of them to get better
lands, better climate, and cheaper
lands. All of them are seeking bet
ter opportunities, and very, very
many of them have the means to
buy lands and establish themselves
in new country.
Within a year American shipping
will dominate the trade of the high
seas Boats viii be carrying food
stuffs, or would be in a position to
carry foodstuffs from Jacksonville to
European ports.
There are millions of acres OF
productive land i'm Florida that are
virgin to the plow There are mill
ions of acres well adapted to grow
ing all the grains, and producing the
foodstuffs necessary to supply the
| things that we shall be called upon
to supply to the world, while. all OF
Europe is leaving the plowy and turn
| ing to the sword.
No country has the undeveIoped
resources that Florida has. No sec
ton of America can produce as many
crops, and as frequent crops, or as
prolific crops as this state can pro
duee. With our waterways nearl!
the whole state can reach the port:
and ship at low cost Of transporta
ton across the seas.
All we need is the people to- pro
duce. The people are looking 70,
the land and the opportunity. w.
have the Land and opportunity AM
are looking for the people. If Flor
ida COT Id today go into some of tn,
older states where the population j
thickest, and the land is worn out
and making a living is a thing o
arduous toll, we could get hundred
of thousands of families to come t
this state, and enter a marvelou
period of production and develop
ment.
If Florida should double her POI
ulation she would double her Ian
values, she would double her taxa
BILE resources; if she cbuld doubl
her taxable resources she could a.
, ford to spend some portion of tina
gain to bring people here.
If Florida would invest millio
dollars in bringing 100000 familit
to the state to develop and till he
soil, she would receive all the mol
ey back into her treasury with
three years from increased valu,
1 and taxes.
y This state has never had such q
opportunity as the present, and ma
never have such another. Eve
: enterprisihg citizen of the sta
! should favor a movement to raise &
i enormous fund to go after new pc
, pie to till her soil.

PRESIDENT Is TRYING
TO KEEP DOWN PRICES

President Wilson, as usual, thinks
first of the American people. He took
up the question of war prices for
provisions as soon as he had recoy-
cred from his sorroWful journey to
Rome He decided that legal action
should be taken if possible and that
If there were no law covering the
question now legislation should be
passed. Resolutions already had
been introduced in the House call
ing on the department of commerce
and the department of justice to re-
port what action they were taking.
Special agents of the department
Of justice throughout the country
and Investigators Of the department
OF commerce are available to collect
evidence for any action the attorney
general may think warranted. The
department of labor also has a corps
which has become very expert in
gathering evidence of the increased
cost Of living.
President to the Attorney General
President Wilson sent the follow
ing letter to the attorney general:
1.-The rapid and unwarranted in
crease in the prices of foodstuffs in
this country upon the pretext Of the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital a matter that |
take the liberty of calling your at
tention to it.
81 would be very much obliged If
you would advise me whether there
is under existing law any action
which the department of justice
could take, either by way of inves-
1tigation or legal process, and what
federal legislation, If any. would in
your Judgment be justifiable and
warrantable in the circumstances.
Fl feel that this is matter which
we cannot let pass by without try
ing to serve the country. Certainly
the country ought to be defended, If
possible, against men who would
take advantage of such circum-
stances to increase the price of food
and the difficulties of living"
Attorney Generals Answer
Attorney General McReyno1ds al
once replied to the president as fol
lows:
81 have your letter of August Ia
in reference to the unwarranted in
crease in the price of foodstuffs.
1.-The head of our special agent
has been instructed to give direc
tions to his men throughout tn
country to begin Investigations i
order to ascertain the real facts an
I am sending the various dfstric
attorneys similar instructions. Thi
should enable us to secure som
definite information in respect {
true conditions.
E'May / take the liberty of sus
costing that perhaps the agents {
the department of commerce coul
render valuable assistance along tt
lines indicated?
ttWhen we have become som
what more familiar with the exa
situation / hope to be able to NAL
you some suggestions in respect
legal proceedings or appropriate lie
fs1atfon.
THE department has for son
time been making Investigations
various directions concerning II
price of foodstuffs."
Agents Will Investigate
The president at once instruct
Secretary Redfie1d to have his ager
begin similar investigations.

which the bishop Of Lincoln had given
notice, was withdrawn, however. The
bishop then gave as his reason that he
thought he was unlikely to carry large
majority of the House in favor of the
proposed alteration.
The bishops of Winchester and Here
ford spoke strongly for the insertion OF
similar undertakings by both husband
and wife. They, however, thought
there should be some reference to the
leadership of the man in the home, as
they said it would be obviously incon-
yenient to have two heads of the fam
lily.
The archbishop of Canterbury empha-
sized the opinion that the Church of
England had to face this proposed
change and other questions Of far
reaching character, arising out Of it. He
believed a better occasion than the pres
ent would be found at an early date for
handling such great social problems.
