NAVAL PROGRAM GIVES
JAPAN Big PROBLEM
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, Dec. 1S.-The American naval
expansion program was the subject OF
lecture delivered recently before the
National Defense association by Com.
Sosaburo Takahashi. member OF the
naval staff board.
The newspapers quote Commander
Iakahashi as expressing the opinion
that the much-talked-of American
Japanese war was illusory and a matter
Of impossibility. but as holding that 1t
was a greater illusion to take an opti-
mistic view of Americas policy of pre-
paredness. The speaker thought Ii dan
gerous to take an easy view of Ameri-
can naval expansion and emphattcally
laid stress on the Importance of the ex--
pansion of the imperial navy with
view to keep in pace with American
preparedness.
Commander Takahashi dwelt upon
the speedy construction of American
warships and the activity Of American
shipbuiiders. He referred to the posi-
tive defense measures being elaborate
Iy worked out by the United States In
the Pacific, the Philippines, together
with an extensive plan to compiet@
communications between the American
possessions in the Pacffic
Other speakers recommended the es-a
tablishment of additional iron foundrioa
In Japan, pointing out how the lack or
them had been keenly felt by the bei--
ligerent nations since the outbreak 81
the war.

lally, however. He says the result of
the presidential election made the en-
ployers more eager for peace than they
were last fall and that the growing be-
lief that the president stands for a
compulsory arbitration law, has put
theA brotherhood leaders in a concilia-
| tory frame Of mind.
Neither labor nor congressional lead
ers here have official reports as to just
What phases of the railway situation
the conferees have taken up Belief is
current, however, in congressional cir
cles that the foremost feature of the
| final agreement will be an interpreta- =
tion of the Adamson law so satsifac-
tory to both sides that the suit to test
the acts of constitutionality now before
the supreme court may be withdrawn.
Repeal of the law, it is thought, hardly
will be suggested. 1t is pointed out
that many members of both houses
ihaving defended the law on the stump
last fall would not be anxious to de-
fend the repeal of it in the next cam
lpaign.
A plan for the investigation of
| threatened strikes also is expected to
result from the deliberations. Labor is
determined that no compulsory arbi-
tration law shall go on the statute
| books, but realizing that the president
Ievidently is very serious in his deter
mination to prevent strike crises with
out investigation, they will exert every
| effort to draft a compromise plan that
will have his endorsement.

PLANS NOT CHECKED.
(RY Associated Press.l

Berlin, Dec. 1S.-The impulse Of the
Germans to organize for every possible
purpose and hold national gatherings
has not been checked by the war. The
other day a little national convention
was held at Lauterberg, a summer re-
sort in the HarZ mountains, the like
of which has never been heard of in
any other country. 1t was a View
of-life convention" Every German
who makes any intellectual preten-
sions at all feels that he must have
his Notwithstanding" or view of life,
his theory as to the government of
the universe and mans place in it.
Acting in this spirit small coterie of
professors decided to hold this unique
convention and read papers on the
different aspects of the philosophy of
life. Papers were read on The Principal
Views of Life in the Leading Civilized
Nations and Germany's Cultural Mis-
sion. and The Views of Life of our
Classical Writers. One hundred and
fifty persons from all parts of the en-
pire were present.

Survivors of Wreck
Saved by Small Lights
(By Associated Press.s

A light flashing from the surface of
the seat attracted attention on board
the Buenos aires A boat was lower
ed and two of the survivors were
picked up from a ships ladder, with
which they had leaped into the
water. Soon afterward similar light
was observed and nine others were
picked UP, from an improvised life
raft. A wireless message--the last
from the Pho Ix--received by the
operator on the Buenos Aires later in
the night, announced that the ship
was sinking rapidly. The message
closed with a Goodbye" The Buenos
Aires remained in the vicinity until
daylight, but no trace then was seen
of the vessel.
The Pho TX was bound from Calves

cargo of cotton and staves. Her first

sprung a leak and that q terrific north

Someone has said that when the
Creator made the Booster "He took a

child, the brain of man, wrapped
lit in civic pride, covered it with broth
erly love, made it believer in equal
ity and justice, a worker for and sup

You know, that just what we want
to be called-a Booster of all that is
good.
First, we are going to boost our
class, and in so doing we think we
will boost every good cause in the
community.
But he more boosters we have in
the class, the more young men that
help us boost, the more good we can
do. Come around to "the Best Glass

Well be glad to have you.

WHAT RED CROSS SEALS DO
Christmas Messenger Helps to Re-
lieve and Prevent Disease

| Here are six ways in which the
money you spend for Red Cross
Christmas Seals, now ON sale at the
Lakeland drug stores, may be used:
Cd tuberculosis patients who are
in need of food, clothing, sanator-
ium care or other necessities may be
relieved.
CD A visiting nurse may be en-
gagged to go out to the homes of the
poor and give instruction and advice
on the treatment and prevention of
tuberculosis. She is most valu-
able educational and preventive
agency
CD A special campaign for a city
or county hospital may be carried
on, and the community be thereby
induced to assume it's share of the
tuberculosis burden. Thus your
money is multiplied many fold.
(4) A dispensary may be main
tanned where patients and their
families may call for free advice and
examination.
60 Open air schools and fresh
air classes may be started, where
boys and girls who have tuberculosis
or are threatened with it may be
built up in body and mind.
co Educational work will be
done to show the entire community
men, women and children that tu-
berculosis can be cured and pre- ,
vented.
Every Red Cross Seal is a bullet in
the fight against tuberculosis.

MRS. KENNETH NJ. HEBB

DR.. w. S. Twins sister, Mrs. K. M.
Hebb of Sarasota, succumbed to a
long illness Monday and of her
death the Sarasota Times says:
Died at midnight, Monday, Dec
4, 1916, Mrs. X NJ. Hebb, in the
4Sth year of her age.
Gradually declining for the past
three years, since early summer Mrs.
Hebb's health had kept her confined
at home. A complication of trou-
bles resulted in a general nervous
breakdown two months ago, and
since then her life has many times
hung in the balance. While physi-
clans gave no promise of hope, she
would at times rally so wonderfully
that the family were often encour-
aged to believe she must be improv-
ing. But with each recurring at
tack her strength grew weaker I'M
It'll the end came.
At the Presbyterian church, on
Wednesday afternoon, services were
held. Friends of the family, the
family, the Woman's Club and La
dies Aid Society had sent beautiful
flowers, which covered the casket
with their wealth of white blossoms,
and the church was filled with
friends, who with the family sor-
rowed for the loss of one who had
lived and work with them for six
teen years.
Mrs. Hebb was born in Missouri in
1868. In 1884 the family moved to
Auburndale, Fla. Twenty three
years ago she was married to Ken
Meth M. Hebb, and a few years later
they moved to Sarasota, where they
have since lived, and as long as her
health made it possible, Mrs. Hebb
was active in both club and church
work, but her home was always
first, and the two sons, Claude and
Homer, who have lost a devoted
mother, have also the example of
years of Christian training and of
wise counsel in all that stands for
the highest and the best in principle
and character. She also leaves a
host of friends who remember her
kind, helpful deeds and her cherry
friendliness.
To mourn the loss of a devoted
wife, mother and sister are left a
husband, two sons, sister and
three brothers. To all of these The
Times extends sincere sympathy.
Attending the funeral We're heI

Evldencing the improvement in
general conditions in Florida. the
Tribune notes that it's advertising
columns last Sunday carried seven
ty-seven messages from those want
ing help, as against only sixteen
from those wanting jobs. That's a
fine indication, indeed, and we be-
lieve the sixteen could find work
readily if they were not too particu-
lar. In this county common labor
is at premium; indeed. we are in
formed that the road contractors
and the phosphate mine operators
have considerable difficulty in finding
an adequate supply of laborers. With
everybody at work, good times can
not be kept back longer.
