of conquest of our enemies is respon-
 sible for the daily heaping mountains of corpses." The chancellor appealed to Pre-
 mier Briand to remember that the
 last hopes of France were perishine on the battlefield and indignantly de-
 nied that the German Emperor exer- cised his influence over the Russian
 Emperor to prevent the development
 of the Russians in the direction of ain, saying that she wanted "the boty of Asia Minor and the German colonies"
 ''The British leave no doubt" he said, "as to what they wish to make of Germany. Our existence as a na- tion is to be crushed. Militarily de- fenseless, economically crushed, boy corted by the world and condemned to lasting sickliness-thati is the Germany which England wants to see at her feet. Then, when there is no more German competition to be feared, when France has been bled to death, when all her allies are financially and economically doing slave work for England, when the neutral European world must submit to every British order, every British blacklist, then, upon an impotent Germany, the dream of British world supremacy is to be- come a realty"
 The chancellor said that he realized the troubles of the people coincident with the war and that he shared the deep sorrow for the fallen and mu- tilated.
 "I bow my head" he went on, "be- fore the heroism with which women and men without distinction of rank or class bear their sacrifices, united in an ardent love for tb< fatherland. Still more sublime and Still greater is the defiance of death with which our sons and brothers in the field withstand the violent assaults of the enemy who. superior in numbers, are fighting with the utmost bravery. World history human history-has never before seen the like.'

The Tamiami Trail

Miami Metropolis: 1t requires but
little imagination for a Miamian +
,conjure up a mental picture of the
Tamiami Trail as it will look in :
few short years. County Engineel
Crabtree has brought back an excel.
Z lent description of the country
through which the cross-state road
will go; and, looking for its develop.
ment along the same lines as other
territory in this new land of Florida
has enjoyed, it is easy to think thai
bordering the Trail in the course of 4
few years will be thriving farms and
glossy grape fruit groves.
Mr.. Crabtree found good soil ard
plenty of rock for the road building
He found acres of saw grass prairies
like those on which the Everglades
cattle ranches are being established.
He found that the construction of the
proposed road will be entirely feasi-
BILE and of less cost than was expect
ed. And when the road is built, it j.;
to open for cultivation a vast amoun-
of farming land in a section which.
with means Of communicat ton, is near
to both the Atlantic and the Gulf.
If Lee county does its share of the
Tamiami Trail building as rapidly as
Dade county does hers. it would seem
that the road across the state would
be available for use by this time next
year, thus making the East and West
Coast towns of lower Florida good
neighbors and closer friends.

/ Wauchula Advocate: We believe
every real newspaper man of Florida

Humphries. editor of the Bradentown
Journal. in the loss of his eyesight, or
partial loss. as the case may be. We
cannot imagine any greater affliction
to an old newspaper man than the loss
Of eye-sight. One might become
deaf and dumb and yet follow his
chosen profession; the loss Of a leg or
an arm would not put him out of bus
mess, but the loss of eye-sight is d
most discouraging handicap. The
writer has had his little scraps with
joe Humphries, but it was when he
was in the vigor of his manhood, and
no man who knows Joe Humphries
ever called him a coward. Now
that grievous affliction has come to
him no one Sympathizes with him
more than the writer, and we feel that
if good wishes Of his fellow workers
would heal Joe Humphries would
so n have perfect eye-Sight and be
fully capable of taking care of him

January it is expected that every Ell
CINE used on the system from Jack
sonville to Key West will be an oil
burner, and Mexican fuel oil will be
used.
During the summer months travel
by rail in Florida is rendered very
unpleasant by the flying of sand and
.cinders. and no cinder guard that
meets the need has ever been used. l.:
fact, the railroads have shown little
interest in protecting their patrons
from these unisances. The movement
inaugurated by the East Coast. how
ever, will greatly improve conditions.
and patrons of other lines hope they
will soon follow the example set by
that system.

Wood, and if reports come true, Mr..

opening point that it would be we'll
for the other candidates for COVER
nor to read and reflect concerning.
1t was this:
Mr.. Wood still clings to the
idea that he is running for the
legislature. He stands up here
before this intelligent audience,
and says what Il" will do if elect
ed governor. The governor does
not pass laws and these state
ments from Mr.. Wood about what
he will do shows either ignorance
or an awkward attempt to try to
lead voters to believe that when
he writes platform and advo-

ful enough to write the idea into
law regardless of the wish of the
Legislature.
