CARSON DISCUSSES
 DUTY OF NEUTRALS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

lRepublican A. Y. Leased WIreI
 LONDON, Nov. 26. - Speaking as the guest of honor at the American Luncheon club today, Sir Edward Carson, former attorney general, dis cussed the Duty of Neutrals
 Sir Edward expressed the fear that international law had been entirety abolished or at any rate greatly en- croached upon by the independence of the neutraIs themselves. After acknowledging the introductory speech, which praised him as all Irishman. Sir Edward said:
 T am proud to be an Irishman, but at the same time I am not a hyphen- ated Britisher"
 The speaker said he would make no startling revelations, for until re- gently he had been a member of the cabinet. at all events a part of it, though just how much of it he never knew.
 Discussing neutrality, Sir Edward said:
 America is the greatest neutral at the present moment. When I mention America as the greatest neutral naturally turn to the conduct of neu- trals in relation to the mitigation of the horrors of war. And nothing fills me more with dismay than when think of the outcome of the horrible period through which we are passing than the fact-I am not blaming any body, but it is a fact-that interna- tional law, the product of all the peace instructions of all nations with a view to preventing interruption of civilization, even in time of hostili- ties, has, I fear. been entirely abol- ishcd. or. at least. greatly encroached upon by the impotence of the neu- traIs themseles
 This war from the start has shown the ineptitude and powerless- ness of neutrals'
 Sir Edward said the invasion of Belgium showed the futility of guar antees, although they were supported.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 26.-The first squadron flight ever undertaken by aviators of the United States army, came to a successful close here today when the six aeroplanes of the First Aero Squadron reached Fort Sam Houston from Austin, the last leg of their trip from Fort Sill Oklahoma.
 The 600 miles of the trip "as the plane flies" was made in about eight hours actual flying time and without even a minor mishap. Captain B. D. FoulOis, commanding, said:
 The flight was a success in every particular We were not flying for exhibition purposes and cared not to risk our planes in storms and uncer- tain weather at this time. We made a study of atmospheric conditions and the behavior of the planes at various heights, temperatures etc. It was a most valuable journey from many viewpoints. and we propose to profit by the experience.
 This flight from Fort Sill, distance Of nearly 800 miles, is the most not able government aviators have under taken"

 At a conference tonight with representative of General Obregon. Colonel Sage explained that the fir ing exchanged between the American soldiers and the Carranza caValrymen was due in a measure to the lack of information by him that General Obregons forces under Colonel Car denas were approaching so closely.
 T had arranged with the Carranza consul to notify me when the Car ranza troops arrived Colonel Sage said. The wires were burned Iasr night and the consul failed to receive the expected information"
 Colonel Sage commented on the rather leisurely retreat last night of the Villa officers and their men, say ing that this is explained by the fact that they did not look for the arrival of the Obregon forces until tomorrow.
 While there was no definite infor- nation Obtainable tonight of the fate of the main Villa army, it was be- lieved here that the forces had es- capped toward HermOsillO.
 Colonel Sage received an affidavit tonight by Josua Urbana, a fireman who worked with Edgar Beane, the American locomotive engineer who was killed in Sonora early this week. which asserts that the Villa com nIanderi Beltran, shot Beane with his own hand.

 In this indictment, those who at tended the meeting charge that in using the name of the Women's So cial and Political union for political purposes, Mrs. Panllhurst was actins without authority, the consent of the members not having been asked fog or obtained"
 They blame her for failing to util- ize the organization for some form of national service during the war, which service is said to be in ac- cordance with the desire of an over whelming majority of the members, the disregard of which. coupled with Mrs Pankhurst's complete control of the funds and local machinery. has been virtually ito disband and break up the w. s.

 They accuse her of usurping au- thority and expelling members who differed from her fin order to stifle opposition to her will resulting in the removal from membership of all most all the women possessed of in fluence, capacity and independence of thought"
 Finally, they call upon Mrs. Pank- hurst to issue immediately state ment showing how the funds have been expended since the war began They ask Christabel Pankhurst, her daughter, to resign or explain her continued absence from the country,' -

The Newspapers and the Niger

For weeks past, the daily news
papers of this country have been
giving many columns of free adj
vertising to a niger bruiser and a
low white man, who agreed to
have a prize fight in Havana.
They had the fight ON Monday,
with the result that the niger
got about $4,000 and the white
pug about $4,000 in cash.
What did the newspapers get?
But for the free advertising which
they gave the fight, the two bruis-
ers would not have made half as
much as they did.
We doubt if any newspaper
sold over three hundred extra
copies containing a report OF the
fight, but suppose there is one
that can truthfully claim the sale
of five hundred extra copies; that
would amount to $500, of which
the news-boys and dealers re-
ceived $1,000, leaving for the
newspaper $500 with which to
pay the telegraph company for
sending the news of the fight.
This was the return to the news
paper for at least $4,000 worth
of free advertising.
Now, why do the newspapers
generously donate so much free
advertising to these disgusting
prize fights? Simply because
of a disposition to furnish GER
tain element of the human race
an element of brutal instincts
with reading that appeals to
those of low ideals. If the news
papers were not so foolish in this
respect and if the men back of
the press associations would take
a more sensible view of the mat
ter, such affairs as that at Hava-
ma the other day would pass un-
noticed and soon there would be
no more of them.

News, who always writes good
sense and expresses it forcibly, is
right in demanding that street
corner preachers be required to
take out a license before being
permitted to confuse the people
with false doctrines. Preachers
in charge of the local churches
and Salvation Army preachers
are amply able to show the way
to heaven, and we do not need
any irresponsible takers from
abroad to come along, "Orate"
from the street corners and mis-
lead the populace into all sorts of
heresies. We require doctors and
school teachers to take out licens-
eS; why not the tramp preachers?

Our friend, Ex-Governor Gil
christ, is being treated with scant
courtesy by many of the state pa
pers, who since the announcement
of Perry G. Wall s candidacy for
the senate, have entirely ignored
the ex-governor and speak of the
contest as being only between
Bryan and Wall. These newspa-
pers will find out their mistake
before the campaign is over. The
general, even with his monkey at
tachments, is no mean antagonist,
and will give Mr.. Wall close
race, even in South Florida. His
long experience in Florida poll
tics and his term as governor of
the state, gives him an advantage
not easy to overcome, especially
by new man. There is no doubt
in our minds Of Bryan's re-elec-
ton, with the probabilities in IA
vor of Gilchrist leading Wall for
second place,

There is a method in the mad
ness Of those Pinellas county edi-
tors. They sell many extra cop
les of their papers to people who
get excited about the fight and
wish to see which scribe is the
more expert in elegant expletives.
The row also keeps Pinellas and
its papers in the limelight' and
gets them much free advertising.
After their war is over, we hope
they will organize a county press
association and join the South
Florida Press Association; it will
do them good.

Some one has made the suggest
ion that the size of the Florida
orange crate be reduced. The
Herald thinks it is a good idea ;
reduce the size one-half, and we
think sales will be accelerated
and increased with resulting
rise in price. If oranges were
packed one hundred to the box
on an average, there would be
more people able to buy a box.
Most of the up-country consum-
ers who now buy oranges, would
buy them by the box, if the size
of the box were reduced one-half.

At least one Punta Gorda citi-
zen thinks that the vile weather
which we have been having for
the past six months, was caused
by the war in Europe. We are
strongly inclined to believe that
the simultaneous and prolonged
firing Of two or three thousand
big cannon, as on the battle line
in France and Belgium, is sure to
cause something dreadful; also, if
the war is the cause of all the
other troubles we are having, as
is charged, why may it not be
the cause of abominable weather?

Volusia County Record No
agency, no amount of money or
corporate or individual advertis-
ing is doing so much for the grow

Florida as the papers of the state
are doing Through them thous-
ands of people and millions of
money are coming as new assets
of this commonwealth every year
The class and quality of the Flori-

those of any other Southern State.
The people of Florida should feel
grateful to their papers for the
constant great work they are do
ing for their state, and it is done,
too, unselfishly and periodically.
The money the papers get from all
sources is by no means common
surate with the efforts made to
make Florida the greatest state in
