asked for advice, declined to permit
Villas wounded to be handled.
Eve are specializing how long our
troops will be in Mexico; that is,
what time limit Wilson will set for
them to either capture Villa or re-
turn to the border. He and his men
can retreat singly and in disguise
into the Sierra Madras and our men
would not be able to reach him, as
he has friends and our men have
none
IF he is not apprehended, will he
continue his operations, perhaps
again returning and attacking an
American border town? If our men
do not get him will the laugh be on

the tourists wwho have been leavin g
Florida in the past month are going
to California to spend the summer
and see the exposition and enjoy the
California summer resorts, because
they are invited and because there is
something to see.
1t requires enterprise to carry on
these big affairs and keep up pressure
on publicity, but California realizes
the value of providing the attractions
and making them known, and doesn' t
mind the expense.
We need to get more of the Cali
fornia spirit into Florida. We want
to realize the desirability of CROWN 9
all the fruits which California grows.
We are finally coming to grow our
own lemons, but we should also
grow our own grapes and prunes and
olives and dates.
AS rapidly as possible the whole
State should be made more attractive.
Roadways and farms should be inn
proved and towns and cities beauti-
fed and made attractive Along with
it all there should be more good
hotels and boarding houses and
apartment houses everywhere.
Then if these things are made
known as persistently and as thor
oughly as they should be, all Flori-
da products will be in greater de-
mand and the State with it's fine
lakes and coastal bathing beaches
and pleasant year round weather,
will quickly become great summer
as well as. greater winter resort, and
the whole people would become
more prosperous.-Cle Clearwater Sun.

CALIFORNIA; WAY

/ The race may not be always to the
but there is no fact better known in
/ life than that the individual or the
strives for supremacy usually finds a
way into the lead.
Another well-known fact to the
| people of Florida is that it excels all
other States in the matter of climate.
It's oranges and grapefruit are of
better flavor than any grown any
where else in the United States. It's
list of tropical fruits is longer than
that of any other State. It's coast
line is the greatest It's lands are
as rich, and it's soil as varied as that
of any other State.
The opportunities for profit in
farming and fruit growing here are
as inviting as the most eXacting
heart could desire. The matter of
State, it would seem, than anywhere
else in the world
And yet California, similar in
some respects to Florida but in no
respect it's equal, eXcels in immigra-
Its tourists also greatly outnumber
| those who come to Florida.
In looking about us for reasons
why this is true we find that the
| main trouble is that California makes
a great noise while Florida speaks

In the winter season the great

fornia hotels to where they carry
one advertisement of Florida hotel.

tise their resources and attractions,
and work hard all the year through
to get people interested in California
! They do not confine these efforts to
newspaper and magazine and booklet
advertising, but they do it in every
imaginable way. They pack their
fruits in the most attractive manner
possible-and some people devoid of
the sense of taste say they are as

NEUTRALITY
By Howard L. Ram

g q q q . . q q {, . q . Z
Neutrality is an effort on the part
of nation to straddle a picket fence
without falling off on either side.
When the European war broke out
several nations decided to act as in
nocent bystanders and hoist the neu-
trail flag. They also hoisted the
price Of ammunition, automobile
trucks, cavalry horses and subma-
rines, doing one of the most thorough
and satisfactory jobs of plain and
! fancy hoisting ever known. The
principal business of neutrality at
the present writing is to deplore the
war with one hand and cash checks
with the other, the result being that
two schools of neutrality have
sprung up in congress, one pro and
one con.
One of our most distinguished neu-
trails is Spain, which was soundly
neutralized by the United States in
1898 and has remained in that con-
dillon ever since. Spain has moth
ing to sell except it's honor, which
is safeguarded by King Alfonzo in
white duck pants and steam yacht.
Spain is so Immediately neutral
that she is thinking of grabbing the
kingdom of Portugal while the other
nations are engaged in deep thought.
Another very successful neutral
, is Japan, which some people i'm
agine is in the war, but which never
gets into anything without having on
rubber boots. While the main
scrimmage is in progress Japan is
slipping around the side lines and
picking up a little loose territory
which may come in handy later on. .
When the war is over Japan will be
found in possession of her self
esteem and most of the Pacific ocean,
and will be found in excellent shape
to consider the subjugation of the
State of California.
The most influential neutral in this
country is Henry Ford, who recently
took special brands of neutrality to
Europe and returned with them in
tact. Thoughtless but well-meaning
people laugh at Henry Ford and his
peace ship, but they would not do so
if they had to pay Henry's bills.
Henrys idea was a splendid one and
will canter down in history as no
Bile philanthropic effort, but he failed
to take the pulse of the warning ma
lions before leaving. This teaches
us that there are some kinds of pre-
paredness which ought to be prac-
ticed more than they are.

OF considerable interest to readers
is a letter which was received, ac-
cording to the Muscular by II. R.
Boden. formerly of Glendive, from a
friend who has been in the railroad
service on the Mexican border for
some months. 1t gives some Of the
details of Villas raid on the town Of
Columbus. 1t reads:
American troops concentrating at
Columbus and along the border made
an efficient and rapid getaway few
days ago after Villa OF what small
army we have, Americans can well be
proud, fine looking, clean-cut men,
many of whom are well educated and
noted for their ability as marksmen,
We also think them capable of more
efficient individual action than any
European soldiers. During a brush
with Villa across the boundary at
Nogales last year our men, kneelng
and with only few whispered com
mand and words between officers and
men, killed 175 Villa men while
only one American was killed. The
Villa men were nearly all shot be-
tween the eyes, some of them being
shot the second time before they fell
to the ground.
THE Mexican battles you have
read about are or have been largely
hot air. The Mexican is emotional
and shoots as much with his mouth
as with his gun. Many hundreds of
thousands in money have been
wasted by the factional armies in
shooting into the ground or at the
clouds
The average Mexican army if
composed of 800 privates has 700
generals, 400 colonies and an I'M
limited number of captains and lieu
tenants. Each private has his own
general, colonel and captain.

Americans along the border doubt
that Mexicans can tranquilize the
country alone and believe that the
United States will eventually have to
take over the country, reoreanize
and police it. They also firmly be-
lieve that the Reorganization along
the border is primarily due to Will
sons policy of backing and filing.
They think the massacre of IS
Americans by Villa men at Santa
Ysabel in January and the Columbus
raid were primarily due to action of
the Wilson administration in having
for many months encouraged the
Villa factions, knowing all the while
that Villa had been bandit
after recognizing Carranza, in
stead Of stopping with that action,
Washington authorized the transpor-
tation of 1000 Carranza men via
Southern Pacific from Ell Paso to
Douglas in order to reinforce the
CarranZa garrison when Villa made
his attack against Aqua Priesta last
October. But when Villa asked per-

BERLIN, November 26-(via Lon,

eussedo the. adTisability of limiting the
number Of newspapers in the Empire
to one for each city and principal
town, those advocating this move stat
ing that one newspaper to each com
munity would sorve all the necessary
purposes and would be a measure of
needed economy. The scarcity of paper
was pointed out as one good reason for
the move, while the number of men
and women that would be set free for
other work by the closing down of a
number of newspaper Offices was ad-
vanced as another.
The suggestion was warmly combat
ed by Doctor Hellfcrich, the minist er
of the interior, who said that the
newspapers of the Empire formed one
of the useful arms of the government,
power without which the government
would find itself severely crippled.
"The government recognizes the ne
