All Floridians will rejoice that the
illness Of Hon. Fred T. Myers Of Tall
/ lahassee is not as serious as was re.
ported. and that Mr.. Myers, at his
home in Tallahassee is rapidly recov-
ering from the nervous breakdown
which occurred just after addressing
the students of the university at Ath-
ems, Ga. In speaking of the tele-
graphic dispatch which announced
through the press that he had lost his
memory, Mr.. Myers stated that the
newspaper account was little over
drawn. He had not been feeling well
To- aeveral days prior to taking the
Georgia trip, and his TRAVELLING about
in the hot sun and attending various
student parades only added to his dis
comfort. On the day when he was
to make his address to the students
| his condition was one that warned
| him that he had gone the limit, and
vet notwithstanding this warning re
made the address, and almost imma-
diately after came the collapse. Fred
II. Myers is one of the really g~e2t
Illen Of Florida, a man Of genial,
kindly presence and who is loved by
i'll who have the good fortune to know
him.

PRESIDENT STILL NEUTRAL.
He Declines to Discuss Atrocities with a
German-American Delegate.

Washington, Sept. l9.-Presdcnt Will
son yesterday declined to receive Horace
l.. Brand of Chicago, who came to pre-
sent messages from. several German
American organizations protesting
against the charges OF atrocities mace
| by the Belgian commission against the
German army. The president took the
position that he bad already refused to
permit natives OF other belligerent coun-
tries living in the United States to dis
cuss the war with him, and that the
messages OF the German Americans were
not of the same nature as those brought
by the Belgian commission. He planned
to write letter to Mr.. Brand explain
ing that his recent statement on neutral
ity addressed to the American people
should apply equally to all living in this
country. The president is understood
to be deeply disappointed over what he
feels is disregard Of his neutrality state
ment. He is determined to check MS far
as possible continued efforts of natives
of European countries living in America
to take sides on the question. He does
not believe such citizens should publicly
take sides.

BIG APPLE CROP INDICATED.
In Excess of Last Year, but Far Below
That of 1912

Washington. Sept. l9-Present indi.
cations are that the commercial apple
crop of the United States this year will
be far in excess of that of last year, but
less than that of 1912 by several million
barrels, according to announcement made
yesterday by the department of agricul-
ture. Department officials say the
problem of distribution will be some
what complex owing TO conditions re-
sulting from the European war.
Attention, however, is called TO the
fact that in normal times Europe takes
less than 100000 barrels of American
apples and growers and dealers are
urged to make plans TO dispose of the
supply usually sent to Europe in other
ways. 1t is believed that with judicial
handling the home demands may be in
creased and the commercial crop mar
keted with relatively fair success to all.
Shippers Of apples are advised to stimu
late the demands in and increase their
shipments to Latin America and the
Orient. and it is suggested that through
cooperation with the department of
commerce extension of trade in this re-
spect can BE- accomplished.

UNs0lVED MYSTERIES.
Such as Rsdium, the Human Brain and
the Electric Fluid.

Alexander Graham Bell was once
asked If he understood precisely how
telephone conveyed the sound of hui
man voice. His answer was: mo.
only know what is done. / do not
know how 1t is accomplished
One is reminded OF Lord Kelvin's re-
mark to some of his professional col
leagues near the close of his brilliant
career. 1t will be recalled that Bell
gave to Kelvin the instruments used
In the first demonstration of telephony
ut the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876.
1t was many years later that Kelvin
said that he knew no more as to the
nature of electricity than he knew
when he first began TO work with it.
From Franklin TO Edison master
minds among us have done wonderful
things with cells and dynamos, gener-
ators and transformers, directing the
interplay of dreadful elemental forces
as inscrutable as they are majestic.
And still we do not know what cleo
tricity is.
A woman finds that tons and tons of
certain ore produce fraction OF a
gram of radium, and we go 10 work
with It and behold the portentous re-
suits it achieves. but we do not know
what 1t is.
A congregation Of sapient alienists
at a trial gives expert testimony, but
no man among them knows what his
own brain is nor how 1t gives instan-
taneous directions to the foot and the
hand. Mystery is at the very root OF
life and rules it to the end. Whatever
way we turn we find the abyss I'M

PLANS FOR COUP FRUSTRATED.
Charles H. Thompson Comments on Re
cent Progressive Convention.

Barre Daily Times-Gentlemen:
Members of the Republican press who
are inclined to support Mr.. Gates IRE
publican) and Mr.. Prouty tparty deslg-
nation unknown have made quite a
| little comment on the interference OF
the so-called Dillingham; machine with
the modus operandi of the recent Repub-
| hean state convention. The writer, be-
ing a member of the National Progress
siye party, knows nothing OF this, except
! through the above-named sources; but II
/ all that has been stated could be sub
stantiated by the facts, as they actually
occurred, this move on the part OF the
| Dillingham; supporters was clearly
eclipsed by the Prouty supporters at the
recent state convention of the Progress
sive party, where they planned and IN
tended to nominate an entire ticket made
up of men, who were pledged to with
draw, if necessary, in order that the
state committee, who were to be au-
thorized to fill all vacancies, might trade
either with the Republican or Democratic
parties and fill in accordingly as the
trades might be accomplished.
This plan was openly talked before
and during the convention, and the plan
was frustrated by the introduction OF
an amendment to the resolution, by
member of the Washington county del
egation, that all vacancies should be
filled bv the state committee, from mem
bers OF the Progressive party. This
amendment, ably seconded by Mr. John
Stetson of Springfield. prevailed. and
thus another well-planned political coup
passed into oblivion. 1t may be OF in
terest, however, to the voters OF the
second congressional district and Wash
ington county that this trading basis
of nominees must have met the approval
of the present Progressive party nominee
for Congress from the second district,
Mr.. Fraser Metzger, who sat in all the
private pre.convention councils. Mr..
Metzcer nominated Mr.. Prouty and in
return received the support of the
Prouty delegates for the congressional

Russia Urges Italy On.
Paris, Sept. l9.-Italy is on the verge
of war against Austria. This is the
opinion of the best informed public men
in France.
All indications point to September 2s
as the date when Italy will definitely
throw in her lot with the triple entente.
A member of the chamber of deputies
who arrived here yesterday from Bor-
deaux has private information from
source close to the Italian cabinet that
changes in the cabinet are imminent
and that within two weeks the military
and naval forces of Italy will be added
to the strength of the allies.
The determining reasons for the forth
coming declaration to cast the weight
of her power against German militarism,
now that the issue is in the balance;
that Italy will certainly be the victim
of German vengence if the triple entente
is overwhelmed, that now is the time to
recover ancient Italian territory held by
Austria, and finally that the public
opinion of the country can no longer be
restrained.
The developments of the past few
days all point to the abandonment of
neutrality and to the active participa-
ton of Italy.
