What Mrs. Minnie Moore Wilson
Has Done For The SeminOleS

I The club women of Florida have
done much for their state and have
won many tributes for the work they
have accomplished within the past
few years Among these the achieve
ments of Mrs Minnie Moore Wilson
of Florida, a writer wwhose literary
efforts have attracted favorable
comment in the north as well as the
south, stand foremost. Mrs. Wilson
with her husband, has spent years
working among the Seminole Indians
and both have worked tirelessly to
secure justice for the red men.
Harriet Bishop Waters, editor of
the General Federation Magazine,
pays the following tribute to the
brilliant Florida woman in one of
her Intimate Talks"
EVERY oace in while / am sa-
lnted BY the time-worn expression,
from some man or woman-who
does not know-'club women accom-
plish nothing worth while. They go
to club meetings and read literary
papers, neglect their homes and are
childless' These ideas are so en-
roneous that it is almost absurd 10
deny them The club movement is,
however, becoming better understood
as time goes on, and the average per-
son is acquainted at least partially,
: with the great work being carried on
by the devoted club woman who does
not forget her home, nor her duty TO
the race, because she is interested in
clubs. A good club woman is almost
always a wife and mother. Very Of
ten a specific example comes to my
attention Of club woman who has
accomplished great work alon,
some definite line.
This summer ! have met nota-

lutely devoted to her home and fam

the GREEN SEAL
BY JEAN DlckERSON.

Bob Noyes was as brave as one
could desire when he had to face
actual danger, but when it came to
proposing to one little blue-eyed girl
with whom he was madly In love,
why Bob simply backed away from
her fathers front door and rushed
to the nearest telephone pay station
to make his confession over the wire.
Alma's voice at the other end was
soft. and hesitating and entrancingly
sweet; but the hesitation was mad
dening to Bob Noyes.
Tell me now!" he urged impa-
tiently.
II couldn't" she pleaded. I'll
write you a little note before ] go
to bed-honest will, Bob"
Il wish you could tell me now and
put me out of my misery" he urged.
"IIl tell you what I'll do, Bob, I'll
let you know before you ever open the
note. II it's good news there will be
a blue seal on the flap Of the enve-
lope-and IL it's-not good news, why
there will be green seal. So you
will know as soon as you receive the
letter"
With that arrangement Bob had to
be contented.
| Would he be confronted by blue
seal or a fatal green one? All the
evening the query haunted him.
| Morning brought new hope
He sat down at breakfast and
looked nervously at the letters neat
" piled beside his plate. All, here
was the letter. He turned it over.
Green!

in his breast pocket and pushing
aside his plate. "A cup of strong
coffee, Dunn, and nothing else" he
ordered.

that Bob Moves had sailed for Der

danced the evening away.

"The only question, then, which can
arise in regard to the measures re
sorted to for the purpose of carrying
out a blockade upon these extended
lines is, whether, to use your excel
lency'5 words, they conform to the
spirit and principles of the essence of
the rules of war, and we shall be con
tent to apply this test to the action
which we have taken in so far as it
has necessitated interference with
neutral commerce.
Sir Edward Grey then refers to the
American civil war blockade of 5000
miles of coast with small number
of vessels, and recalls how the Uni'
ted States finally took recourse to
blockading "neighboring neutral ter
ritory which afforded convenient CEN
ters from which contraband could be
introduced into Confederate territory
and from which blockade running
could be facilitated
"Your excellency will no doubt re-
member" wrote Sir Edward, "how. II
order to meet this new difficulty. the
old principles relating to contrabant
and blockade were developed and the
doctrine of continuous voyage wa'
applied and enforced, under which
goods destined for the enemy terri
tory were intercepted before they ha'
reached the neutral ports from which
they were to be re-eXported.
