With the horrors of submarine as
sassination eliminated the whole
question of neutral rights at sea are
to be considered chiefly as an issue
between this country and Great
Britain and it's settlement in accord
ance with law could not fail to meet
some or most of Germany's conten-
tions as to non-contraband commo-
dations. How rash and foolish,
then, has been the Won Tirplitz cam
paien! When the undersea boats
were running amuck regardless of
American life and property, lynch
ing everybody on sight and the Ger
man language newspapers of the
United States were more or less
openly rejoicing in what were essen
TALLY acts of war, there was neither
opportunity nor occasion for such
sober discussions as now are in prog
ress at the State Department.

773 Cars Pineapples
Shipped From Fla.
Past Season

The total carload pineapple ship
ment from Florida during the past
season up to Tuesday, July 10, was
773 cars, or approximately 221,90O
crates. OF these, st. Lucie county
shipped approximately 600 carloads,
or nearly seventy-five per cent of
/ the total state production.
Carload shipments are being made
now at the rate of only about fifteen
cars day, which will show a grad
ual decrease until carload move
ment practically ceases.
While freight shipments are rap
idly decreasing, express shipments
, are showing a substantial increase.
The express shipment from Fort
Pierce alone during the first twenty
days of July totalled approximately
1000 crates, which, at 800 crates to
the car would make five and one
third carloads. The total express
shipment from the entire county
during July was, it is estimated,
! easily 5000 crates, or 80 cars.
The July express shipment from
Fort Pierce has so far, according to
Local Agent A. A. Worrell, shown an
increase over the corresponding per-
iod of last year of sixty per cent. An
average of 125 crates move forward
from the local express station daily,
most of these being individual ship.
ments.
This increase in small express
shipments is regarded as an indica-
tion of growing demand and wild
ening market for st. Lucie county's
famous fruit. One crate shipped in
to new territory creates demand
which in time often develops into
carload proportions.
Express shipment of pineapples
from this county continues practical .

THE GERMAN VIEW.
By Hugo Won Kliest

The President, no doubt, fully real
ICES the heavy responsibility upon
his shoulders. In time like this he
should not commune only with him
self. but should go out of his way
to meet the common people. He
should not only consult a theorist of
the stripe of Lansing, but men of
practical horse sense, like his run
ming mate e-President Marshall.
The country is against rupture with
Germany. Bryan, Hearst, Hoke
Smith. Mann, Knox, Perkins, Nagel.
Hannis Taylor, speak not only for
themselves but for the majority of
American citizens. In that respect
they differ from Messrs. Pulitzer.
Bennett, Ochs and Willard.
