CROSBY PUT A GOOD
BILL THROUGH THE HOUSE

Tallahassee Democrat, May 10: The
bill of Representative Crosby, of
Marion, known as bill No. 221, was
passed on third reading in the House
this morning by a vote of 48 to 6.
This bin amends section IL of
chapter 6537, relating to the opening,
establishing, building, constructing
and maintaining public roads and
bridges in the state, and provides a
road and bridge fund for the several
counties in the state of Florida, and
for the assessment and collection OF

A dispatch from Berlin says: "Hun-

German minister of marine, on the
sinking of the Lusitania, which the
Germans consider to be an answer to
the destruction off the Falkland isl

Admiral Won Spec" All reports of

TIME TO PREPARE
Columbia, S. c., state)

AOOA0AADAS~r ~ N"s A~NS~t
The time for disquisition and dis
sertation on the destruction of the
Lusitania has passed.
In open defiance of the laws of hu-
mainly and of the nations the Ger
mans, without warning, destroyed a
merchant ship carrying neutrals, al
lowing them no opportunity to es-
cape.
The sole question involved is wheth
err or not the German empire shall be
permitted to amend the laws of ma
tons, without the consent of neutrals,
in order that it may conform to the
limitations of the submarine as a
weapon of offense.
The Americans on the Lusitania
had the assurance that their country
did not concede this claim of thu Ger
mans to amend the law of nations.
When the German spokesman say
that the passengers sailed, after
warning, at their own risk, they for
got that the United States of Amer
lea had implicitly given them assur-
ance and protection. Our government
had denied the German claim and
had given notice that the German en-
pire would be held to strict accounta-
bility for destruction of American
life.
The challenge of the submarine
was to the United States.
/ To imagine that the United States
will not demand reparation for this
outrage, and the other outrages, es-
pecially the torpedOing of the Gulf
light, is preposterous.
! How to make the demand effective
is the question. If it can be made eff
fective without war against Ger
many, so much the better. No Am
erican is hungry for war against
Germany or any other nation.
4. But if reparation from Germany
can not be had without war, ther
war it must be!
If war it shall be, then it is fol
} all Americans, be they of Irish OIL
Scottish. British. German, French
Russian or Austrian blood, to bear
their part in it.
The States opinion is, that month.
! ago this country should have begun
to place itself on something like {
war footing.
When everybody else is fighting i
is not good sense to go unarmed.
An army of half million man
equipped to the last point of eff
cheney, does not in these times spell
militarism in this land of one hun
I dred million inhabitants.
= An American navy enlarged am
: improved would not be menace t.
world peace.
: The Congress, in voting $250,0OO,
/ 600 or more for the enlargement an
improvement of the army and nav,
would be within its legal and mora
rights.
That it is time for the Unite
h States to fight, one can not say.
:. But it is time for the United State
y to put on its fighting clothes.

On introducing President Wilson to
his audience in Philadelphia Monday
night, Mayor Blankenburg, who is a
German American, called attention to
the fact that like the other aliens he

Americans should discuss the Lusi-
tania incident with as little bitterness
as possible, if for no other reason, on
account of the feelings Of our fellow
citizens of German descent. Between
their natural love for their father
land, and concern for the land that
is now their home, the conscientious
and kind-hearted among them are
sorely distressed at the prospects OF
trouble between America and Ger
many. And we have known very few
Germans who were not both con-
scientious and kind.

To declare war on Germany for the
sinking of the Lusitania would not
bring back the dead, and it is proba-
bic that it would not add to the pun
ishment of those who are really
guilty. 1t would instead add greatly
to the sum total of horror with which
the innocent are already afflicted.
But it is our duty to do all possible
to prevent such injuries being dealt
us in future.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1915-05-12

Americans should bear in mind that
the reports of rejoicings in Germany
over the sinking of the Lusitania
come thru allied channels, or at the
best thru Switzerland, whose SYM
pathies are mostly with the allies.
The Star can understand that per-
verted sense of duty or desperate ne
cessity can impel Germans to sink un-
armed passenger ships and kill nom

Speaking of the appointment of a
committee to investigate the burning

school, the Tampa Times hopes that
said committee viii probe the matter

take two or three newspaper report

take them, they should 60 anyhow.
1t is not out of place to remark that
if all newspapers were as outspoken
about public abuses as the Times has
been about this reform school scan

our people not to believe such reports
unless til " are supported by impair
