THE GERMAN ANSWER

w HERE Is room for much
satisfaction and for some
dissatisfaction over the
German reply on the subma-
rine question. The note is
gratifying in that it states or
ders have been given German
submarines to conduct future
warfare in compliance with
our demands.
II appears this part of the
note will be sufficient to pre-
vent a break between the two
countries though it must be
borne in mind that the official
white house opinion on this
subject has not yet been ex-
pressed.
The German strategy of
making continued compliance
with our demands contingent
upon Americas bringing Eng
land to compliance with inter
national law has the flavor of
justice. Yet that contention is
not as meritorious as it seems.
1t is logical for this country to
say that we settle German af-
fairs with Germany and Eng
lish affairs with England. We
do not mix international issues.
1t is also improper for Ger
many TO assume we should
consider human rights and
property rights upon a par.
The English under their block
ade take cargoes but do not
take neutral lives. The car
goes may be restored or paid
for, when mistakes are made.

PERSONALITY

II n the view of no less a pa
y per than the Christian
+, Herald it is possible for
one to develop personality to
q material extent. II is a sub
ject Of decided human inter
est and the following in sub
stance is the view of the pub
lication above mentioned:
A natural smile is readily
obtained after one has acquir-
ed a musical laugh, wholesome
thoughts and a pleasant voice.
A forced smile is easily detect
ed and usually arouses sus-
picion, as it is considered a
mask.
1t is the forced smile that
usually results in facial con-
tortion. The genuine smile
prompted by cheerfulness is
accomplished by slightly part
ing the lips, gently raising the
corners of the mouth, and is
completed by a happy express
sion in the eyes. Stand before
your mirror and see how cas-
ily you can be convinced that
this is true, also how we'll it
viii pay you to wear a genuine
smile.
The handshake needs no
practice, only remember that
"a firm grip and a hearty
shake inspires confidence and
are a token of frankness and
accord with spontaneous
laughter and a well-placed
musical voice.
To prove conclusively that
personality can be acquired by
any one, we have even seen in
valids change an irritable and
unattractive personality to one
of cheer and sunshine, winning
all who came in contact with
them and accomplishing for
themselves many more hours
of happiness and many less
hours of pain. If you will but
conscientiously carry out these
instructions you will soon
have a personality which at

friends and great satisfaction
to yourself. The Christian
Herald.

The Presidents Speech Has
No International Significance

tt, understand any public utterance, we
must consider the circumstances under
which it was made in connection with the
actual words of the thought President
Wilson's Mecklenberg address, therefore,
when we remember that its purpose was
to apotheosize American independence and
ideals, has no international significance
whatever, although the attempt has been
made to read into some of his pronounce
ments a plan to terminate the European
war by arbitration
It is accidentally true, as he says, that
as processes Of communication have
grown better, nations and peoples have
grown closer together" but we must bear
IN mind that when he said the spirit of
this occasion would be expressed "if we
could imagine ourselves lifting up some
symbol of humanity" he was equally
academic and had no concrete reference
in mind.
Isn't it a sign and dawn of new age
that the one thing now on which the world
IS about to fall back is the moral Judgment
of mankind p does not portend that Wilson
is going to intervene, because no one knows
better than the president or the Pope, who
has been credited with making the sug-
be. The utterance is only a tribute to our
own lnstitutions-"Herei in America" said
the president, I'VE have tried to set the ex-
ample of peace by keeping together"
When you cannot overcome, you must
take counsel and processes of war stand
still" are sentiments to which the warning
powers will subscribe as cheerfu1ly as the
United States, but by a CHASTITY combina-
ton OF circumstances they are simply un-
able to put philosophy into practice Maybe
it is because of the intense bitterness that
can only reach solution in determination J;
maybe it is because neither side thinks it
has gotten to the stage when it cannot
overcome" But in either event the good
offices of the United States would be
sharply rejected, and President Wilson
has no intention whatever of offering them

We Ourselves Need To
Tell the Truth About Florida

All right minded people are indignant at
the lampoon~ on this state by Collier
Weekly in the Reed article which, since It
could not vilify Bryan, seeks to show that
Florida is different from the rest OF the IN
habited globe and even resorts to distorted
spelling to exaggerate sectional peculiari-
ties Of pronunciation and prove that
this region is populated, not by Americans,
but bv an alien race with different social,
economic and political ideals
That our people should resent such adj
vertisng, it a healthy sign. But why stop
here? Let Us examine further and see II
we ourselves are not somewhat response
bic for being considered peculiar race.
What about those alligator post cards?
What about the typical scenes OF
Florida our own merchants sell the
northerners-palmetto wildernesses, tunF
bledown shacks, watermelon negroes, ana
sluggish marsh-bayous? With such press
agenting as this, how can we expect out
siders to think there is finer side OF
Florida when they come here7
Substitute those post cards with views
of orange groves, cattle herds, steamship
wharves, public buildings, aeroplanes, bat
tleships, timber and fishing resources-oh,
there are thousands of enterprises right
around here which even, the natives don't
know of, so accustomed are they to seeing
only alligators.
