Some contended that the inter- ests of the United States might be best conserved by standing on the warning to Germany that the latter would be held 'to strict accountability for any attacks on American> vessels and lives"
 Some of the Scandinavian countries in their representations to Germany, it is understood have used the phrase "ac- compensation for losses sustained. Hol- lands protest is believed to have con- veyed this meaning as we'll as warning of possible action. The fact that the United States did not define it's future course is regarded in some official quar- ters as making unnecessary any further explanation of the American attitude un- less some overt act occurs.

SIX CHARGED WITH PLOT ID VIOLATE

Millionaire Californian In- dicted in Connection With Alleged Conspiracy to
 Invade Mexico

Los Angeles, February 10.-Harry Chandler. millionaire land owner and son-in-Iaw of Harrison Gray Otis, own CT of the Los Angeles Times, was in- dicted by . federal grand jury today on a charge of having conspired to violate the neutrality of the United states. He and five other men arc ac- cused of recruiting soldiers in the Upi- ted states to serve In an invasion of the Mexican territory of Lower Cali fornia.
 The other defendants are Baltazar Aviles. former governor of Lower Cal ifornia; E. J. viljoen. former Boer army commander; Walter Bowker. gen era1 manager of the California Mexico Land and Cattle company's ranch on the border; Charles Gusman, real estate agent: Geronimo Sandoval of San Diego. and Francisco Avon. The cattle company Is owned largely by Chandler and General Otis. and has big nOlu1nBS Tn Lower CallIOrnld
 Agents of the department of justice said that in return for the work of the alleged army expedition. which they declared was planned to overrun Low CT California certain cattle companies were. allowed to bring cattle in and out of the Mexican territory without pay ment of duties. It Is alleged that Chand- led financed Aviles, who was to organ ize and conduct the expedition. Chand- Ter admitted that Aviles had received money from the California Mexico Land and Cattle company. but asserted in q statement tonight that the sums were in settlement of taxes paid to Aviles as an accredited officer of Lower Cali fornia.

 MAY DISCUSS
 SUBJECT FURTHER
 In the informal discussion of the re- ply as published in the press cabinet ' members indicated that they were inn pressed by different aspects of the case Some held that while the situation was serious, there was an indication in the German note of a willingness to dis cuss the subject further which might, perhaps, postpone the active enforce ment of the proclamation to permit an understanding to be reached about the safety of neutral vessels. The fact that Germany had ordered her navy to use discretion and care when approaching ships flying neutral ' flags was viewed as indicating that the
 maximum of vigilance probably would
 be exercised by commanders of sub
 marines to distinguish between enemy and neutral vessels. On the other hand however. the notes declaration that Germany disclaimed all responsibility. | for what might happen to neutral ships
 l either by submarine torpedoes or mines produced apprehension among some
 1 high officials that critical point might ] be precipitated in the relations between the United States and Germany LESS CAUSE
 FOR ANXIETY
 {, These officials referred incidentally to the fact that there now would be less cause for anxiety if Germany had ne-
 gotiated, as did Great Britain, France
 and Russia, treaties with the United States agreeing to submit to a commis \ sion of investigation any difficulties | that may arise between them. While the German ambassador here is known to have endeavored to bring about the ne- gotiatfon of such treaty. but the out break Of the war diverted attention from 1t in Germany and the state de- pertinent has been looking forward to a renewal of discussion of the treaty at \ the earliest opportunity.

GOV. TRAMMELL TELLS
HOW TO AID BELG|ANS
Goods can be Sent Without
Cost to Starving People.

Gov. Park Trammell has issued the
following directions to the people Of
Florida disposed to aid the starving
people of war torn Belgium:
cat the suggestion of the vice
chairman of the American committee
for relief in Belgium, l bring to the
attention of the people of Florida the
following information.
"The commission for relief in Bel
GUM, the officially designated sole
agency through which food and sup
plies may be brought into Belgium,
has just concluded arrangements with
the postoffice department and with
express companies whereby any one
in America may forward foodstutfs
for relief in Belgium by parcel post
or express without cost of transpor-
tation to the sender. The supplies
needed are nonperishable foodstutfs,
also new blankets and new clothing.
On account of the postal law parcel
post packages can not be sent by par
eel post C. o. D. By following the
instructions of the department, how
ever, the sender may, if he wishes,
have his postage refunded ANsimi-
lar refund will be made on all pack
ages sent by the express companies.
The response of America to the APP
peal of Belgium has been gratifying,
but the task of provisioning over six
million people, fourteen hundred
thousand of whom are absolutely
destitute, requires the dispatch of a
shipload of food every other day and
the maintaining of transport line
comprising thirty one steamers. In.
structions for sending packages and
for obtaining the refund transporta-
ton have been posted by permission
of Postmaster General Burleson in
the sixty-fve thousand postoffices
Throughout the United States. Sim,
liar instructions have been placed
Throughout the United States in the
offices of thirtv-five thousand express
companies. This information may

POTATO ACREAGE IN
NORTHERN FLORIDA
Over 5000 Acres, Accord
ing to Commercial Agent
of Clyde Line.

More than 5000 acres have been or
are now being planted in Irish pota-
toes in the Hastings, Federal Point
and East Palatka potato districts of
northern. Florida this sea. no, said l..
S. Scroble, commercial agent Clyde
Steamship Company, yesterday.
Mr.. Scroble has been taking cen
sus through his travelling and solicit
ting freight agents during the first
ten days of the new year, and has
found that North Florida will be
prepared to furnish many thousand
barrels of early potatoes to the rest
of the country when the shipping
season begins.
The farmers must have had a
bunch as to what kind of weather
would prevail, for he says they have
planted shallower than usual, and
the result is the seed is safe, where
as if they had planted deep, as is
generally done, the loss through rot
ting because of the cold and wet
would have been enormous.
The potatoes of the Hastings,
East Palatka and Federal Point sec
lions have a reputation for earliness,
surety and commercial value such as
is enjoyed by the potato crop of no
other part of the state, and the yields
are almost beyond belief. The far
mers who have been planting pota-
toes for the past few years, are
among the wealthiest in North Flor
ida, and the potato crop is but one
of the three they harvest from the
same ground annually.
Fertilizing heavily for the Irish
potato, there is much valuable plant
food left when harvest is ended. On
this ground is then planted corn, and
Yields from thirty-five to sixty bush
els are obtained yearly. After the
corn crop is gathered, the farmers
then proceed to grow the finest OF
hay crops on the same ground and
harvest enough for farm use if they
have any appreciably acreage.
