There is no such broad declaration on

y great diplomatic crisis in this
country was safely passed Tuesday.
How great that crisis was will per-
haps not be apparent to the great mass
OF Americans until the secret his
tory Of diplomatic negotiations with

But Il is clearly apparent that A con-
spiracy masqueradinG under n counter
1eit effort TO preserve peace had been
under way since the dispatch OF the
presidents note To Germany follow
ing the sinking of the Lusitan!a
which had for its purpose the sur
render of American rights, the smirch-
ing of American honor and the con-
niNance at tho murder OF American
men, women and children. The whole
aim was to gain delay SO that the ma :
tional conscience would cool off, and
accept complete surrender by sub
hitting the submarine warfare Of Ger
many and the massacre of Americans

The note sent "Wednesday by the
President TO Germany shows how COM
pletely this plot has been frustrated
The President stands firmly on his
original ground. He does not send TO
Germany an ultimatum. But ne form
ally asks the imperial government for
assurances that measures hereafter

lives and American ships on the high

1t Is quite obvious that this note is
not ut all what Mr.. Bryan's action
seemed to suggest II is equally OBJ
vious that it opens the way to temper
ate discussion OF all points at issue
IT employs no word or phrase that can
be construed as n percmptory demand
that Germany abandon at once and for
all her submarine attacks upon the
commerce of the allies. On this sub
jcct the note merely seeks to suggest
the more humane and generally accept

The millions of Americans who will
carefully read this morning the second
note of President Wilson to Germany
will look in vain for the hellicose tone
or the threat of severing relations
which the sensational resignation OF
Secretary Bryan has led them to think
the note would contain The note re-
peats with dignified and unmistakable
emphasis what was said In the first
note, but ii certainly does not go far
enough beyond that to warrant any
feelings that this country Is hurrying
into war with Germany.
President Wilson is right as he was
in the first. The country will stand be-
hind him, and the fantastic attempt of
Mr.. Bryan to cloud the issue and to
divide the allegiance of those who
should give tho nations head their
loyal support in this crisis will have
small effect

Based upon those human rights
which no government can fail to re-

civilized is President Wilson's second
note to the German government on its

to American citizens, but to other ned

party left before the completion of
the games and we did not get the
scores.
The streets of williston were dec
grated with bunting from the school
building on the west side to Park
Trammen on the east, the business
houses were covered with American
flags and remnants, and many of the
private residences showed their 10y
atty to the occasion with extravagant
displays of flags and other decora-
tions.
The Seaboard railroad ran special
train from Cedar Keys and inter
mediate stations for the occasion, and
it is estimated that there were two
thousand strangers in the city.
The credit for the pulling off of the
affair in the successful manner in
which it was is due to the fact that
every citizen in the town stood by the
publicity and other important COM
mittees who had been detailed to car
ry out certain portions of the work.
Mr.. C. c. Epperson was chairman OF
this committee, but had detailed two
of the towns acknowledged leaders in
the boosting game, Messrs. H. G..
Carter and w. NJ. Stafford, to do the
active work How well they did it is
best evidenced by the crowds that
thronged Williston from early morn
ing until late at night.
Those interested in the affair show
ed their level medicines also in Civ
ing the ladies of the town their share
of the burdens incident on such oc-
casions. When the committees were
appointed a committee of ladies with
an equal number of members was Sc
lected.

The Atlantic Coast Line men are

Mr.. Brand came here about thir-
teen months ago, to take the posi-

he and they soon found place in the
esteem of our people. His health
failing, they had to leave about three
months ago. His death has been daily
expected for the last few weeks.
Mr.. Brand was brother of the gen
eral superintendent of the Coast Line,
and member of family of railroad
men. He was courteous and honor
able young man, and all who knew him
will sincerely regret his death and
deeply sympathize with his bereaved
| family.

TAKING A LONG TRAMP

Two young men came into the Star
Office yesterday, and stated that they
were on tramp from Tampa to-
Boston, Mass, on wager. They had
credentials from the mayor of that
city as to what they were to accom-
polish and letters from the newspa-
per offices along the way, where they
had stopped The men gave their
names as Tom Tampa" Turner, and
Chas. "Boston" Lang. They were
travelling without baggage except such
as they could carry in their hands,
but were manfully holding to mini
ature bale of cotton, which they were
carrying as a peace offering, from the
! mayor of Tampa to the mayor of Bos-
ton. Just why the young men felt
that cotton was the most appropri-
ate thing to carry that official from
Tampa is not fully explained, when
as far as we know, no cotton worth
mentioning is grown near Tampa, and
at their recent Gasparilla celebration
by special request, George Giles & Co.
of this city, loaned the association q
couple of bales of cotton to exhibit
there, the bales exciting much interest
and comment. Many visitors from the
north and from the Cotton States" a:
well not being aware that Florid;
was cotton state, and many of th'
natives inquired earnestly what
them" Now cigars would have beel
right in line for Tampa, but we sup
pose the young men knew that temp
tation must be removed from them
and they would not attempt to carr
to the mayor of the Bean City, eithe
