Sincere regret will be felt through
out Florida over the news carried in
Mondays dispatches that Col. Frank
l.. Mayes, editor of The Pensacola
Journal, is dead. In this instance
death has removed in the prime OF
life one Of FIorida's best citizens and
best workers.
Col Mayes was a splendid citizen, a
fearless and broad minded newspaper
man, and a leader in any movement
in which he became interested. He
served. at one time as president of
the State Press Association. He was
one of the strongest leaders of the
progressive faction of the Democratic
party in Florida.
He was but forty-one years of age
when death overlook him and he
passed away after an illness OF but
few days, 1t was not known over the
state that he was i'll, and the news
OF his death is shock not only to the
newspaper fraternity but to many
others who had come to know him in
political as well as newspaper work.
Frequently he has been mentioned ia
vorably as a candidate for the gov
ernorship and he had been pledged
much support. But always he de-
clined to enter the arena for the Of
fee.
He was elected delegate from the
Third congressional district In 1908 to
the Democratic national convention In
Denver and again to the Baltimore
convention which nominated Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency. He has

FLORIDA PRESS
ON DEATH OF COL.
FRANK L. MAYES
Eneouraaement 20 YOUNG Mon


In the life OF Frank L. Mayes, editor
and owner of The Pensacola Journal
who died In that city early yesterday
morning, there is much encourage
ment for the young man who gains the
impression that there is no oppor-
tunity for the young man in this coun-
try unless he has wealth to back him.
Mr.. Mayes was fine example OF what
q man with energy and determination
may become regardless of whether OPP
portunity opened the way or not. He
made the way and profited thereby.
Mr.. Mayes was born OF that class
OF American families who have had to
move from one place to another before
desirable conditions were found for
growth. His father moved from ILL.,
nois to low and then to Dakota In
search of what so many men of this
country have sought and found, and
thereby assisted in creating the splen-
did American empire of opportunity
It was a struggle, just as other men
had to struggle, for Mr.. Mayes to get
his start In life. He worked on the
farm, he worked for and earned the
money that gave him his education.
He started as q reporter and made
good as a business man. He succeed
ed. He came to Florida In a time of
great depression, but made good in
what appeared to other men as a hope
less field, q field in which other men
had failed. When he was called from
life at the early age Of forty-one,
ne had achieved undoubted success,
a success measured, perhaps, not so
much In dollars, although he had that,
but In the influence he gained through
out this state and other parts OF the
South He gained that influence by
a consistent walk in life and definite
purpose to improve the condition of
the society by which he was sur
rounded. He had ability, he used il
for good purpose. He had energy
and devoted It to the upbuilding of
the community in which he lived He
was faithful to his friends and used
that quality TO build up a wider and
wider circle OF friends, not for his
personal or political advantage, but
for the good that he could do man
kind.
The state Of Florida can i'll spare
Frank T.. Mayes. His was o. life that
can be safely followed by all aspiring
young men, His influence for pro-
gress, for good. for upbuilding will
extend far beyond the time when his
name shall become dim on the marble
which affectionate friends win erect
to his memory over his grave.
In common with every newspaper
in the state, In common with the peo-
pie of the state, the Herald expresses
its sorrow at the untimely death of
one of the leading men of the news
paper profession in the state, and ex-
tends its sincerest synpathies to the
bereaved family and to his late as
sociates in business.--Miami Herald

Aqua and the Rio Grande. Addition
al troops were rushed TO the scene

their purpose to take the American
troops by surprise. A picket reported
their presence in time to give the
troopers chance to take position for
their desperate resistance against
odds.

against five, against Mexicans skilled
in brush shooting held their ground

AFTER FAKE TREE DOCTORS
State Entomologst Warns Property
Owners Against Vendors of San
Jose Scale Remedy.

Madison.-While State Entomologist
Sanders is after little insects injecting
trees and shrubbery, he also is after
human insects who prey upon owners
of trees by palming off alleged rem
edies for San Jose scale and other
tree diseases.
The state entomologist, whenever
possible, is warning owners of trees
to guard against fake tree doctors.
He will appear in district court at
Milwaukee as a witness against two
men charged with defrauding owners
Of trees. 1t is alleged these men in
duced property owners to believe that
clean trees were infected and were
paid by the misled owners for use of
a spray.
Property owners in many Wiscon-
sin cities have been defrauded out of
substantial sums by takers of this
sort. If any owner with infected trees
or shrubbery will get in touch with
Mr. Sanders and send samples of in
fected twigs, he viii give them advice
needed.

London, Oct. 25.-Greece has in

cannot at present accept the proposals
made in return for her participation
in the war.
These proposals included the ceding
of the Island of Cyprus to Greece, as
well as other territorial and financial

The Greek reply, which is lengthy,
reached the foreign Office Friday night.
The text of the document was not

The reply was not unexpected. It
has often been stated in official circles
that both Roumania and Greece were

BERLIN DEFENDS ACT
GERMAN GOVERNMENT SAYS Exc.
cuTIoN OF NURSE WAS
JUSTIFIED.
GAVE AID TO THE ENEMY
Statement Declares That Governor
General of Belgium Warned Against
Practice-Asserts France Slew Two
German Women.

Amsterdam, Oct 26, via London
The following inspired telegram re-
ceived from Berlin by way of Brus-
sells, dealing with the exception of
Miss Cavell. was published here on
Sunday:
las the foreign press is discussing
in an incorrect and exaggerated man
ner the execution of the English wom-
an, Edith Cayell, for treason, the cir
cumstances in the case, according to
the facts, may again be stated.
1T was proved after long trial of
the sentenced persons that they for
some months past had been engaged
in assisting Belgians Of military age
to enlist in hostile armies and In en-
abling French and English deserters
to escape the country. They had many
helpers and had organized branches.
The governor general had repeat
edly issued warnings against such ac-
tivity, pointing out that severe punish
ment for such action was unavoidable.
The guilty persons were sentenced
In a public sitting, according to the
law based on the provisions of the i'm
perial penal code and the military
penal code for war treason and es-
pionage
No special law exists for Belgium
and no so-called usage of war infiu-
enced the verdict of the court.
The accused, for the most part, adj
mitted their guilt, and acknowledged
they were aware of the severe penal
ties they were risking.
Miss Cavell was the principal agent
in the plot to enlist Belgians for the
allies. With regard to the assertion
that she in the course of her profes-
sion unselfishly tended other persons,
it may be pointed out that she earned
a living by nursing, charging fees
within the means of rich people only.
Women also have been executed
in France, as was instanced in March
last, when the German woman Mar
garete Schmidt, was executed at Nan
cy. and in May at Bourges, when the
German, Optilie Moss, was put to
death.
THE English government may re-
member the cruelties committed by
Lord Kitchener during the Boer war
on women and children.
Our present enemies do not need
to protect their armies against a pop
ulation and a hostile occupied coun-
try, nor are they under the necessity
of pronouncing or executing such SEN
fences, for they have occupied so little
hostile territory"
