the valuable international sport.

INTERNATIONAL SPORT AND
COMPETITION WILL NOT DOWN

New York, Feb. 15.--In the midst
of the great European war the idea
of International sport and competi-
tion will not down. The advocates
of these games are constantly ad-
vancing plans for such meetings, to
take place during hostilities or i'm
mediately following the declaration
of peace. 1t is repeatedly pointed
out that such friendly engagements
in the realms of sport will either
help in bringing about peace or act
as a balm for the bitterness engen-
dered by the conflict.
An example of these frequent ef-
forts is shown in plans for an inter
national sport meeting after the war
to be held in Holland, the land OF
international meetings. This inter-
esting idea is put forward in one Of
the leading Dutch newspapers by a
sport enthusiast. The writer argues
that when peace comes economic ne
, cessity will soon draw the present
belligerents together again and pre-
pare the way for international sport.
which will in its turn react favor
ably on the relations of those now
engaged in so bitter struggle with
gun and bayonet.
Such international sport meetings,
however. he points out, call for dip
lomatic and careful preparation. /.
One cannot, for instance, expect to
see a football match Germany vs..
Britain in Berlin in the first post
war season. Hence Hollands oppor-
tunity to perform a delicate task,
with the support Of America and of
other neutrals. by making that coun-
try center of contact. The aim of
such an international meeting would
naturally have to be delicately
masked, but once representatives OF
the present belligerents had met on

KILLING FROST IN
!. NORTH FLA. LAST
NIGHT; J MAY
GO TO FREEZING

Advices from the weather depart
ment this afternoon indicate that
the mercury will hover dangerously
near the freezing point tonight, IT.,
indeed, that point is not actually
reached.
The statement issued by the de-
partment this forenoon foretold a
probable minimum Of "a degrees.
Yesterday the forecast for last night
was 3S degrees, but the thermomet-
er recorded 35. This afternoon
Weather Forecaster Bennett, Of
Tampa, stated over the telephone
that it would probably be three or
four degrees colder tonight than it
was last night. This would mean
freezing temperature, or perhaps a
degree below.
This section is very fortunate, and
frequently when freezes have been
predicted, shifting of the wind or
other favorable circumstance has
changed the program. This may or
may not occur in this instance; but
we would recommend policy of
preparedness" to those with grow
ing crops which they may be able to
protect.
