sESIINoLEs ARE SUFFERING
Effect of the War on the Florida
Indians

Tampa Tribune: The European
war reached into regions that one
would scarcely dream of. a Fort
Myers STORY in the Tribune yesterday
tells of the plight of the Seminole
Indians. They have been hit by the
European disturbance and hit hard.
This does not seem plausible and
yet it is easily explained. The Sem
inoles derive a large part of their rev
enue from the sale of hides The
demand for hides has been entirely
cut off by the war. Hence. the Sem
inoles are suffering and the people
of Fort Myers are taking steps to re-
lieve their immediate distress.

GOOD ADVICE

The Star has received a circular
from the Fire Prevention Society of
Jacksonville. which gives good adj
vice in regard to preventing fires.
Among other things, it says:
1.-The Florida Fire Prevention So
ciety desires to emphasize, in view Of
the unfortunate condition existing
throughout Europe, the necessity for
absolute cleanliness and especial
care to prevent fire in every mercan-
! tile and manufacturing establishment
in the state, whether it be in full or
partial operation or entirely closed
down. and to stress particularly the
individual responsibility for preven-
table fires of every description
with plants ready to resume OPP
creations with unimpaired capacity
Florida will occupy a commanding
position in the commerce of the
world upon cessation of hostilities in
Europe. Her products, lumber nav
al stores and phosphate, will be in
immediate demand and at higher
lprice levels than have ever hereto
fore prevailed. 1t is imperative,
therefore, that every plant be con-
served and protected from loss or
damage by fire if our merchants and
manufacturers would reap the golden
profit
Merchants and manufacturers
should make it point to drive these
facts home in the mind of the in
dividual employee, to see that al
rubbish and infiammable material o.
every character is properly takeT
care of and not carelessly swept
!. into piles or thrown into corners te
become a fire menace which undel
lproper conditions will develop a con
f1agration. DO not put your trust II
i 'fire-proof'' building your re
sponsibility is just as great as in ;
wooden structure.
The circular doesn't say so, bu
|, another great reason for carefulnes
& lis that, while the insurance com
panies are perfectly solvent, the
are, like all the rest of the country
; not able to obtain cash as easily a
in normal times, and a series of bi
: fires might compel some of them t
delay payments. 1t is every man
) duty to be doub1y careful, and tn
firebug, or the man who sets fire t
his own establishment to obtain III
insurance, is more a public enem
than ever.

The Germans made a pretty good
Rz1l when they said that in making
reports son the war "a moratorium. of
truth had been declared. If they
had only included themselves in the
description, it would have been alb
sUlhte1y correct. It is only fair to
say that the Germans do not lie as
much as the allies. They do not say
as much.

Peter o. Knight of Tampa is home
from his visit to Europe, and in not
ing his return, the Times says: I'm
the opinion, of attorney Peter O..
AKnig1t, who has just returned to his
home city, Tampa. after having spent
nearly two months in the British
Isles, the present war in Europe will
last about two years and perhaps a

the allied troops will eventually win

Antwerp and London

The effect of the fall of Antwerp is easy to perceive in the tone of dis patches coming from the French and British capitals. The loss of the city to the allies was depressing and the heartening effect upon the Germans will be correspondingly strong. The value of Antwerp to Germany is incalculable, both for offense and defense. It removes the menace to their communications, releases 100000 men for the battle in France and gives an admirable base for opera tions against England. But above all is the moral effect.
 Paris yesterday suffered the most severe bombardment at the hands of German airmen that she has yet ex- perienced Twenty bombs were dropped, from which three fatalities resulted. Londoners shivered when they heard of 1t.
 It seems to be only question of days now before the English capital will physically feel the weight of a hostile hand for the first time in cen- turies. Of the preparations that have been made to receive the Germans, the world, of course, knows nothing; but with Kitchener at the helm it is safe to predict that the enemy will find it no easy task to materially damage London.
 As matter of fact, all of the dam- age yet done by aircraft has been sporadic. The effect of bomb drop ping upon city is largely psychologl- cal and when the Cockneys become ac- customed to it they will accept it with as much, or more calmness than did Paris

From the Augusta Chronicle October S.
 The sad news of the death of Mrs. Catherine J. Butt, which was announced in yesterday mornings Chronicle, was received with universal sorrow through out this community. where she was so well known and so generally beloved. Mrs. Butt had not been in good health for the past year. but her last illness, which was the result of a stroke of paralysis, was of brief duration, and the end came peacefully. few days after the stroke. Tuesday at the home of her daughter Mrs. Louis Gholstin of Atlanta, with whom she had been living of late
 The funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian church here, of which Mrs. Butt was lifelong member, and the interment was in the City cemetery, where she was laid to rest by the side of her husband, the late MT. John D. Butt of this city.
 Mrs. Butt was a typical woman of the old south, devoted wife and mother, the soul of gracious hospitality and one of those rare women who always had something pleasant to say, and something | kindness and charity. When she lived in Augusta, as she did all her life until the last few years, her home was always the center of the social life of the commun- ity, and her cordial welcome was extend- ed to all who came in her door, her love for young people making her home an especially attractive place for the friends of her children.
 For the past few years she has divided her time between the homes of her chill dren, visiting her daughters, Mrs Ghol- stin in Atlanta, Mrs Luther Warren in Richmond, Mrs. Edward Barrett in Bir- mingham, and her son, Mr. Frank Butt, of Atlanta. All of her children were with her when she passed away, and were here for the last sad observances The Presby terian church was filled with the sorrow ing friends of Mrs. Butt and the resting place was covered with hundreds of beau- tiful flowers, each speaking in silent tes- timony of the love and esteem with which she was held in this, her old home Mrs. But. Is survived by her three daughters and one son, and by a num- Der of nieces and nephews living in Au- gusta and elsewhere.

1NDrscREEr DIPLOMATS
From the Washington Star


 The error of the European diplomats at Washington who have recently been indscreet Is in acting and speaking as if they were accredited to the American people, as advocates and press agents. and not to the American government. as mediums of communication with their home governments. Ambassadors, min isters and their lieutenants deal directly with our government and not with the American people. They may not appeal from our government to our people. This prohibition was sharply emphasized in the early days of the republic, when the effort was made to drag the United States into war against England in favor of France our ally in the revolution. These diplo- mats ought not to attack or criticise openly either our government or our peo- pie. In a war involving perhaps the very existence of the nations whom these diplo- mats represent the temptation ia stronger t. use openly and to the maximum every conceivable medium of influencing pulp lie opinion in favor of fatherland. and in 50 doing to attack as we'll as to defend But patriotic enthusiasm must not banish tact; lest the cause for which they light be injured rather than benefited by thsir
 labory

St. Louis, Great Finnncler

Not every financier who has won a national reputation is held in such great esteem by bankers as Festus J. Wade of St. Louis," said A. F. Cameron of Chi oago. but at one time citizen of Mis- souri.
 MT Wade has long been known in the business circles of the west Among the public spirited citizens of St. Louis he Is in the forefront. He is president of one of the largest trust companies in America and is president of the Mer- oantile National bank. As the origina- tor of the plan to raise a s1b0,000,00o loan fund to help finance the cotton crop MT Wade is more in the public view now than ever.
 He was born In Ireland, but his parents brought him to the United States when he was a very young child. After a four years course in a com mercial college he entered upon a busi- ness career, and before he was 30 years of age was recognized as one of St. Louis ablest banking men. He is now about 55 years of age. Personally he is exceptionally popular"

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Somehow or other tie things that you get for nothing always manage to fig ure in the high cost of living.
 If you will say nothing. be nothing and do nothing, you can always be req sonably certain that you won't have any enemies.
 A woman doesn't pay a bit of atten- tion to what her husband says all day But she is afraid to close her eyes a! night If he talks In his sleep.
 About the only time a married man is right Is when he admits that he is wrong.
 When a woman has nothing to say she isn't happy until she says it.
 The sort of girl who is chummy with her mother usually manages to take care of herself without the assistance of chaperon Weather forecastors and doctors car get paid for guessing. But the rest oi us have to be accurate. A girl can make love to a man and make him imagine that he is doing all the love making. You can always hnd hospitality in js hotel because you are expected to pay what 1t is worth. l No wonder men are selfish. When a man gets sick he wants his wife to be on the 90 and wait on him four times | a minute. But when a woman gets sick she wants the doors closed and tho shades pulled down and begs to be lei alone
