ritating 10 be told the same ship is
lying off New York harbor, ready to
establish a blockade If war is de-
clared. There are no Russian pas
senger steamers out Of New York,
but there are occasional merchant
vessels. There are several French
passenger lines and many Americans
travel on their boats. 1t would anger
Americans extremely to have any OF
these ships interfered with. OF
course if the war spreads TO Great
Britain, the Dresden wouldn't stay
off New York harbor very long. Ii

allow the ships of any power TO in

THERE is NO RACE
ISSUE IN THIS

The Star highly approves of the
following from the Miami Metropolis.
A negro has as much right as white
man to protect his female relatives
from brutal assaults:
Last Monday morning in Clarks-
Vile, Tenn, the seventeen year son
of a prominent farmer was shot and
killed by a mob of negroes because
of his alleged criminal assault on a
twelve-year old negro girl. The I'M
Gle of the girl admitted that he fir
ed the shot that killed the boy, and
here is the circumstance upon which
the South may regain much lost re-
spect-a coroner's jury returned a
verdict of unsuitable homicide!"
1t was "only little negro girl
and the boy was the son of a re-
spected white man, but the same i'm
pulse that would direct crowd of
southern white men to take vengence
on ''nergro fiend" directed the girls
kinsmen to carry out their mob law.
And in the case of these negroes
''mob law is more to be forgiven
than it could ever be in the case OF
white men. If the boy had been ar
| rested and tried in any white mans
court it is not conceivable that he
would have been sent to pay the pen
atty for his crime and his death
! should be looked upon as a blessing
to the community in which he lived
And it is not possible that this
evidence of square dealing Will en-
courage negroes in other places tt
protect their homes against the white
man, even as the white man would
protect his home against the ma
rauding negro? Is it not possible
that some day the negro will reacl
a place in his intelligence and self
respect that would lead him to wreal
dire punishment on the white fathe
of every mulatto child?
This may sound incendiary, an'
yet The Metropolis knows that ever!
decent white man and woman wh'
reads these words will agree with u

AMERICAN GENERALS
OPINION OF
EUROPEAN ARMIES

eff Russia comes to the aid of
Servia in the present war said
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles,
in an interview in Boston Wednes-
day, ''it is difficult to see how the
rest of the six powers can avoid be-
ing drawn into the conflict, and no
man can say what the result will be.
''If Russia stays out and Germany,
as she now says she will do, backs
Austria, it will simply amount to
Austria's taking possession of Ser
via and doing as she pleases with
that country
1T is a terrible thing to contem-
plate" he continued, ''for if Europe
is involved it means that there will
be nearly 100000 men available
for war. Russia alone can put g.
100000 to 100000 men in the
field, and Russia would make a far
different showing than she did in the
war with Japan. Then she had to
take her soldiers 5000 miles over a
single track railroad, which was in
poorer condition than any one of
our six trans-continental lines. The
Russian army is now in good condi-
ton and very powerful.
81 cannot guess how many men
England can put into the field. Her
standing force is not so very re-
markable, but if she calls in terri
torial troops from India, she can
produce a vast army. / do not think
many would come from her other
colonies. Neither Canada or Aus
tralia is a thickly settled country,
and the troops from there would be
corresponding few.
"Austria's army is in good condi-
tfon 1t has not been actually en-
gagged for good many years and is
we'll recruited and finely trained"

1t is strange that so many people
who would resent any attack upon
their country never feel that way IN
respect to their town. 1t is patriot
ism that will not let them brook
any adverse criticism of their land,
then why do they not have patriot
ism enough ITO condemn 'hurtful crit
icism of their town? Yet it is fact
that many who are devoted TO their
country ever feel delight in running
down their home town. They ignore
it's advantages, but are always quick
to note its seeming disadvantages.
They are croakers of the worst sort
and they do much to retard its de-
velopment. A little more of local
patriotism is what lots of folks need
If they had it the town in which they
choose to live would be a much bet
ter place.-Gainesville Sun.
A mans town should be like his
dodge. He should praise it If ne
can, and if he can't he should give i
the benefit of silence. And what
ever there is bad about 1T, he should
try to reform from the inside.

What a Friend Is

A friend is a person who is '.for
you" always, under any circum-
stances.
He never investigates you.
When charges are made against
you he does not ask proof. He asks
the accuser to clear out.
He likes you just as you are. He
does not want TO alter you.
Whatever kind of coat you are
wearing suits him. Whether you
have on a dress suit or a hickory
shirt with no collar, he thinks it's
fine
He likes your mood and enjoys
your pessimism as much as your OPP
timism.
He likes your success. And your
failure endears you to him the more.
He is better than a lover because
he is never jealous.
He wants nothing from you ex-
cept that you be yourself.
He is the one being with whom
you may feel safe With him you
can utter your heart, its badness and
its goodness. You don't have to be
careful.
There are many faithful wives
and husbands; there are few faith
full friends.
Anybody can stand by you when
you are right; friend stands by
you when you are wrong.
Like the shade of a great tree in
the MONDAY heat, is a friend.
Like the home port, with your
country's flag flying, after long jour
neys, is a friend.
Ia friend Is an impregnable citadel
of refuge in the strife of existence.
1t is he who keeps alive your
faith in human nature, that makes
you believe it is a good universe.
He is the antidote to despair, THE
elixir of hope, the tonic of depres
sion, the medicine to cure suicide.
When you are vigorous and spirit
ed you like to take your pleasuret
with him; when you are in trouble
you want to tell him; when you ar
dying you want him near.
You give to him without reluc
tance and borrow from him withou

WARS AND RUMORs OF WARS

In reading all press dispatches con-
corning the European situation, it is
we'll to remember that everything
coming out of not only Austria and
Servia, but Russia, Germany, France
and Italy is censored. Only the wires
from Great Britain are free.
The English, however, have their
own ways of obtaining news, and
what comes to us from London is
likely to be close to the facts.
