PEACE AT ANY
PRICE DOESN'T PAY

The London Daily News says edi-
torially:
ut would not be easy to parallel
such demands from one power to an
other as Japan has made on China.
In many respects they are more
stringent than the Austrian demands
on Servia which led to the European
war.
"China has done nothing to incur
such penalty. She offered no men
ace to Japan and she wanted only to
enjoy her own liberties in her own
way.
IF China had been a military ma
tion she never would have been thus
challenged. She had neither the will
nor the power to take an unfriendly
and irreconcilable course toward her
powerful neighbor and it is grotesque

The Tribune congratulates the
Ocala Star upon securing the Asso-
ciated Press report, which will great
" enhance the value of the paper to
its readers and prove valuable as
set in its progress. The Star has been
taking the international News Service
and the reason it gives for making the
change to the Associated Press is all
sufficient and, at the same time,
strictly true-"the people put more
dependence in its (the A. P.) reports
and will take newspapers carrying
them in preference to any other. -"

Thanks, most esteemed contempor-
ary. You are always ready to praise

In regard to that little lecture that
the Tines Union read the Star about
the curfew law, we think that if the
T.-U. had observed the general trend
of the Stars remarks it would have

We have always been rather opposed
