HERMAN SAYS RALPH

Discussing the Worlds exposure of
the secrets of German propagandists,
Herman Ridder says in an article in
the Staats-Zeitung:
EThe disclosure of the correspon-
dence in regard to the details of such
transactions, by the World, hampers
only to a slight extent this legitimate
activity, by aggravating the already
strained relations between this coun-
try and Germany. The World has
done a doubtful service for the coun-
try in which it is published-doubtfu
as was its exposure of the Panama
scandal Mr.. Ralph Pulitzer will
be recompensed therefor, beyond a
peradventure, in that it establishes
without question that the Austrian
blood which flows in his veins is
thinner than the waters of the At

German soldiers have bled as the re-

cannot lose sight of is that every

Elsewhere is very timely and in
structive article by Mr.. Lycurgus
Burns of Winter Haven, manager of
the great Peace River Farms, and
man well known in South Florida for
enterprise, public spirit and practi-
cal views. His letter is of interest to
all business men, particularly farm
ers. 1t is appropriate to say that
the views Mr.. Burns sets forth have
been advocated for the last two years
by the Marion County Board of
Trade, have been put into concrete
form in harmony with the recon-
mendations of the United States gov
ernment, by Secretary Rooney, and
laid by him before the legislature at
its recent meeting. Most of the MEM
bers of the legislature were too busy
with local schemes. however, to do
anything for the public good, SO the
bill failed. Another will be before
the next legislature, however.

The defeat inflicted on the Ger
mans by the Russians in the Gulf of
Riga is sample of what this country
with moderate amount of prepara-
tion could do to attacking navies and
in vading armies. The character of
our coast is such that a reasonable
number of submarines, torpedo boats
and aeroplanes, backed by moderate
number of soldiers, could render a
landing in force impossible. At pres
ent, we haven't the submarines, tor
pedo boats, aeroplanes- or soldiers,
and if peace was made in Europe in
October and Germany forced a quar-
rel on US in November, the Germans
could damage US billion dollars
worth in property, to say nothing of
lives, before we could begin to fight.

The Fatherland has a tear-draw-
ing picture of two hungry, homeless
women in Galicia, mourning over
their dead kindred, while an ammuni-
tion box, marked "Made in America"
lies at their feet. All over Europe
are women mourning the death of
sons, husbands and brothers, who
were killed by explosives made of
American cotton and shot from Ger
man guns. All over the world could
be found women, white, yellow, brown
and black, whose male kindred have
been killed or manned by German
rifles or German cannon. Among
them are many American women,
whose husbands, sons or brothers,
fighting for their country in the
Spanish war, were killed or
wounded by Mauser rifles made in
Germany. The German is good in
many ways, but he isn't a good sport.
He wants everything his own way,
and if he can't have it, he accuses
other people of being unfair. His
