ENGLISHMAN MAKES
WAR BUYING ATTACK
Percy G.. Donald Says He Has
Options on $50 American
AcrOplanes.

Percy @. Donald. an Englishman who
said he was associated with the London
hardware firm of Rownson, Drew 4
Clydesdale, requested reporters for the
New York morning newspapers TO meet
him yesterday afternoon al the office Of
the National Association or Manufac-
,urers at 80 Church street. When the
reporters were assembled Mr.. Donald
said that he did not bear any credentials
from the British Government and did
no; assume to reflect official ideas.
Mr.. Donald said in part
Il have travelled all over the country
studying the manufacturing situation
and Interviewing manufacturers. find
that there are many plants that are not
being operated at all or that are being
run on part time. These plants are well
equipped to manufacture the various
kinds of munitions England requires. hut
they have not been offered the oppor-
tunity.

manufacturing firms in this country, o,re

acres OF ground, and all of which could
turn out vast quantities OF machinery,
shells. fuses and other munitions. and
zach frm tells me that, although they
submitted their applications many
weeks ago. nothing has CONF OF it..
These and many smaller Independent
firms have been passed over,
MY suggestion, which ] shall imme-
dlately put up TO my Government when
return home, is this: hat We follow
the huslnosslike plan adopted by the
Germans, organize each trade by itself
and put in charge OF each trade some
person thoroughly familiar with that
trade, \ commission Of such expe-
rienced and competent men might come
to this country. establish headquarters
and throw the market open 10 the grear
number Of useful and potentially pro-
ductive plants"
Mr., Donald asserted that he had taken
options on 250 aeroplanes here which he
would offer to the British Government
as ar example of American possibilities
in the way of war equipment.

Powell, of the Clearwater Sun, is
still fighting the proposed State fair
in Jacksonville and says that while
he was secretary Of the Board Of
Trade at Tampa he kept tab on
Jacksonville for four years and in
that time that city did not make a
generous move for the rest of the
State" Our observation has been
that cities are rarely, if ever, phil
anthropic institutions and that sell
fishness is essentially their leading
motive even when they are seeking
to develop the interests and re-
sources of their trade territory. We
don't think of one instance where a
city ever rose to higher level.
Florida needs a State fair, and as
Jacksonville is the only community
in the State that shows any disposi =
tion to give 1t to us, by all means
let her do SO II she is able to. And
It would be all the better II outside
counties should help to finance the
scheme, for 1t would be tax which
they voluntarily laid upon them :
selves and it would give them a
sense of part ownership in the fair
itself that would help to make 1t
truly state wide in spirit and inter
est as we'll as name. The main
thing Is to get the fair; other con-
siderations are of subordinate i'm
portance.

THE BEST THAT IS IN US

No man ever has fallen SO low but
that there is spark of goodness IN
him, if only it can be reached-the
discovery of that spark often leads
to the building of MAN.
Many a fond father has pictured
his son a minister Of the Gospel and
has awakened to see him a merchant
prince, while many a wizard Of fl
nance, expecting his son to follow
in his own footsteps has seen him
sailing to the foreign missioary
field. 1t is not the survival Of the
fittest" that brings about these con :
ditions but 1.-THE Best That Is in
U.s. cropping out for personal bene-
fit and the good Of mankind.
1t is a sense of fitness-a case Of
the round peg in the round hole
and not the ruination Of the same
by driving therein square peg.
The heads of big corporations, the
managers OF enterprises and large
undertakings must understand men.
They must be able not only to pick
out men adapted to specific jobs but
they must be able to pick out men
who will work in harmony. More
than this, they must be able to COM
mand the respect and loyalty Of
their organizations so that "The
Best That Is in Us" will produce the
maximum efficiency.
Such man is Col. G.. w. Goeth =
ais, an executive of the highest
type. His greatest achievements
are probably yet to be written, but
if he were to die tomorrow the Pan :
anna canal is monument to his
memory which any en- might envy.

The special edition of the Tampa
Times yesterday, embracing 104
pages of excellent matter, was a
big achievement, something for the
Times people to be proud Of. And
those who read it, especially in dis
tant States where they have but
vague ideas of Florida and her de-
velopment, will open their eyes
with amazement and conclude very
Justly that the State which pro-
duces and supports such big,
splendid modern newspaper must be
made up of live people Of progress :
sive methods and standards. The
Times is always a fine paper, one of
the best afternoon journals in the
South, and this huge special edition,
which it calls "An Argument for
Florida" will prove a convincing
one wherever 1t is read.

Must be some mistake about that
item going the rounws of the press
that one Josiah Millard, aged So,
a personal friend of Lincoln and the
foreman of the jury that convicted
Jefferson Davis Of treason, had mar
ried few days ago. 1t may be that
the old gentleman is of the years he
claims, that he was a friend of Lin
coin and that he has recently mar
ried, but he was not foreman of the
jury that convicted Jefferson Davis
of treason for Davis never was tried
on that charge, much less convicted.
Miami Herald.
We had intended to call attention
to this outrageous perversion of his
tory-in plain English, downright
lying-but it escaped our mind and
we are glad that the Herald had
nailed the falsehood so promptly.
And there are numberless other fic :
lions related to the civil war fully
accepted by millions of people as au.
thentic truth. History "as she are
writ" is good deal of a solemn
Joke. Think Of the Unreasonable
field for lying that stretches before
the historian who shall rush with
prejudiced soul into the work Of re-
cording the facts of the present Eu-
ropean conflict!
