London, Dec. 26.-Advices re-

London, Dec. 26.-Because of the

committee, which has been conduct

Farmers defended their action with
the statement that the government

Washington, Dec. 26.-Plans for
the second annual meeting of the
American Institute of International
Law, comprising five delegates from
each of the national societies Of the
21 American States, to be held in
Havana beginning jan, %, are we'll

in importance even that of last year
is anticipated. DR.. James Brown

DR.. Alexandra Alvarez of Chile, sec

which is expected to be announced
shortly.
The meeting is to be held in Ha-

government, which has planned the

such as a gala day at Matanzas. The
morning sessions Of the conferences
are to be held in the Academy Of

given over to social events.
At the first meeting, which was
held in Washington last year in con-
Function with the Pan-American
loonvention, the very important pro-
fnouncement as to the rights and du-
ties of nations was drawn UP, which
received widespread notice at the

that States, whether large or small,
have the right of existence and self
defense, SO long as neither infringed
on the rights of other States, that
none was entitled to violate interna-
Itional law and that If one did it was
the moral duty of the others to pro-
test energetically.

Although the harvest throughout
Palestine has been fairly good the
people have derived little benefit,
owing to the requisitioning of all
the crops by the military authori-

ly unobtainable. There are no
stores of food available for the peo-
pies of the towns this winter, burt
the peasants in the country districts
have in many cases been able to hide
"a part of their crops from the mill

FRNANY PROPOSES AN
| IMMEDIATE MEETING FOR
DISCUSSION Of PEACE
PROHIBITING UNNECESSARY
RAILROAD TRAVELLING

London, Dec. 26-The prohibition
of all unnecessary railroad travelling
in Germany is likely to be followed
Eshortly by similar measures in the
entente countries. Such prohibi-
Ition has for some time been under
consideration in England, and the
Board of Trade few weeks ago is
sued an appeal which was regarded
in many circles as a preliminary to
restrictive legislation The appeal
urged in emphatic terms that every
person proposing to travel by train
should consider whether the journey
is really necessary.
The military authorities have de-
creed that still more men must be
released from the railways for army
service. This will inevitably mean
some reduction of work and the only
economies which appear possible, &C
cording to the railway managers,
are connected with the passenger
train service and in securing greater
expedition on the part of shippers in
handling freight traffic.
No cheap holiday fares have been
announced this year for the Christ
mas holidays, and there will be nc
extension of the train services. New
ertheless the seaside resorts have
been advertising extensively and are
making preparations for their usual
holiday crowds.

BIG CROWDS WILL FLOCK

Seaboard Air Line railway. west of
Jacksonville, will attend the Arcadia
meeting Wednesday in larger numbers
than had been thought probably up
to the latter part of this week, since
they have been under the impression
that they could not reach Arcadia in
time for the opening session Wednes-
day night without much inconven-
ience. But the efforts of public school
people here have made it certain that
West Florida teachers can go by the
quickest route from Jacksonville, since
the officials of BOTH the Seaboard Air
Line railway and the Louisville and

Thursday and Friday advised Prof. B.

school, that special instructions had
been sent agents on these lines to
route all tickets sold by straight line
into Jacksonville and from that point
by the Atlantic Coast Line to Arcadia
by way of Lakeland. This will enable
teachers and school officials who
reach Jacksonville in time to catch

b The train schedules are necessarily
late at this time Of year, and it will
hardly be possible to make the con-
nection from the Seaboard train reach

Parties contemplating the trip should
reach Jacksonville Tuesday evening,
and take advantage of south board

not so close, or they may spend the
night in Jacksonville as they prefer.
The attendance is expected to reach

election of 1912, and the progressive
people Of Florida have not forgot that

n REAT was the Southeastern
Fair and its greatest attrac-
ton the magnificent cattle and
hog exhibits.
Liberal premium offers by the
fair association, supplemented nv
cash prices from the various breeds
associations, attracted breeders and
exhibitors from the western circuits
and prompted Georgia breeders to
finish their choicest offerings for this
epochal event. The entries at the
show, as well as the interest mani
tested by the public in the various
breeds, plainly indicates the pres
ent progress, and to some extent,
future prospects of the various
breeds that have won public favor
in our rapidly growing live stock
industry.
AS TO cattle, the tendency is man.
ifestly in favor of the beef type, and
among these the Herefords are IA
vored by an overwhelming majority.
Notwithstanding the great pioneer
work done by the Central of Georgia
railway in introducing Shorthorn
cattle in the state, and in spite of
the persistent heroic efforts on be-
half of the State College of Agricul-
ture in favor of the Shorthorns not
a single Georgia Shorthorn breeder
horned into the contest. To be sure,
Shorthorn cattle were present aud
of goodly quality, but local pride and
interest in Shorthorns has not yet
reached showyard enthusiasm.
Undaunted by the fact that win
ners of the American Royal show
would be among the contestants,
thirteen Georgia Hereford breeders
entered more than 100 cattle in this
magnificent show. A fair idea as to
the greatness of this display may be
gained from the fact that the
American Royal had PA Herefords
on exhibit and 1913 Herefords con-
tested for honors and premiums at
the Southeastern fair. Most OF the
older breeding cattle, the foundation
herds, were, of course, purchased
from prominent breeders in the
north, but among the winners in
the younger classes Georgia bred and
