Only Germany Can Prevent
Severance of Diplomatic Relations

OF course il Germany's future policy
shows an abandonment of its present
method of submarine warfare against pas
senger and freight carrying vessels" as
demanded by the American ultimatum,
then the German reply will go down in
history as a far-reaching diplomatic vic
tory for the United States.
President Wilson, however, according
to press dispatches, distrusts the wording
of the note; and more and more the feeling
is growing that the document merely post
pones final settlement
1t is not so much that Germany resents
Americas legal commerce with the Allies;
but the thing that puts such sinister con-
struction on the note is the condition Ger
many imposes, that the United States
cause Great Britain to abandon its block
ade-which is placing this country between
ScYlla and Charybdis with a vengeance!
The new instructions" to submarine
commanders merely illustrates a remark
made by a famous diplomat that language
was meant to deceive.
In accordance with the general prin-
ciples of visit and search reads the
Kaiser's assurance, and the destruction of
merchant vessels recognized by inter
national law, such vessels both within and
without the area declared naval war zone,
shall not be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives. unless the
ship attempts to escape or offer resistance"
No need to recall how such promises
have always been followed by torpedoes
no need either to discuss the phrase "mer-
chant vessels recognized by international
law" The American contention is that
defensive armament is sanctioned by in
ternational law, and the German is that it
isn't. The American contention is that
passengers must be conveyed to a place of
safety-not merely warned; the German
policy to let them take their chance in
small boats thousand miles from shore
!. On Germany itself depends the future.
Will it retaliate on the United States for
not lifting the English blockade, as. fore
casted~in the reply?
The fact that our press as a whole is
hopeful regarding the future, is proof that
this country wants peace, but our people
are back of President Wilson, who has said
his last word, and if there is another viola
ton of our rights, the severance of diplo-
matte relations between the two countries
will follow Immediately.

Germany Probably Will
Execute Another Woman

When Edith Cavell, nurse and martyr,
stood before firing squad and was shot
TO death insBelgiums such an outcry went
up that the world said, while mourning
1t can't happen again.
Now, however, it may happen again
and this time the victim will behalf Amer
ican-tfe daughter of an American mother!
She is Alice c.. .Masaryk of Prague, Be-
l4en1ia, former residentaof the University
Settlement in Chicago, and daughter of
Bohemia greatest citizen, Prof Thos C.
Masaryk, publicist, educator, philosopher.
Because. her father is safe in England
$50 say the friends of Bohemian freedom)
the Austrian government is trying the
daughter for high treason, the punishment
for which is death. And in the absence of
the great agitator, his daughter is to pay
with her life for his refusal to bow to the
yoke of Franz Josef!
Will the women of America protest and
try to save this kinswoman from the fate
that awaits her?
Or will there be another Edith CayelI
case-wlth vain regrets afterward that
might have been unnecessary had there
been adequate protest before?

Senator Bryan has given numerous
instances of hts courage during his
political life, one instance of which
was well told by s. o. Fits in COM
munication published in The Herald
of yesterday morning.
The senator's attitude toward the
unspeakable organization that is try
ing to disrupt the democratic party
in this state through an appeal to
religious prejudices, is well known
While other candidates have evaded
the subject and SHE'D at discussing
it on the platform, the senator has
courageousiy expressed his full -epin-
ion as a man and an American.
For matter Of sixteen years. dat
ing back, of course. to republican
days in congress and administration,
it has been the custom to give en-
ployes of thA@ house and representa-
tives at Washington, including police
men, watchmen and others of the long
list Of favored hangers on, an extra
months pay each year. The custom
probably arose during some session
where there was extra work placed
upon certain employees and was con-
tinued because the people of Wash
ington wanted the money spent
among them. In any event, it became
an annual custom for the houses Of

The Future of West
Florida is in Cattle

The Importance of our county board $
determination to cooperate with the Board
Of Health IN the differentiation campaign
NAV be Judged from results in neighbor
state
A few years ago, the country around
Jackson, Miss, was the playground OF the
tick; consequently, the cattle was scruooy'
runty, and-well, you know what it was!
Now. however, the tick has been erad1-
Gated and near Jackson today is one OF the
finest herds in the country-the La Vernet
Herefords, which after taking prizes all
over the south last year, were barred from
live stock show in Atlanta, Ga, because
there was nothing whatever in their class.
The dairy industry has received Won
derful impetus around Jackson, and IS last
substituting the southern product for the
Illinois butter; and stock sales in st. LOUIS
show bigger prices all the time for south
ern cattle from tickless regions.
With green pasture here all the. year;
with silos; with an increasing demand
cattle will be West F1orida's gold mine!
That's the reason why The Journal IS
planning an Excursion of Education
through the cattle regions of Kentucky and
Indiana this summer; and that's the rea-
son why we must ali join the great move
ment to eradicate the tick, to swat him. tc
dip him, torpedo him, to strafe him, tc
kill him coming and going, and generally
make life so disagereable for him that he
will leave this place and leave it quick!

Sweets to the Strong;
Sugar Consumption Increases

Science has merciless way of revamping
old saws, Sweets to the sweet, corrected
by science, reads Sweets to the Strong. "
The old form read right, SO years ago,
when the per capita consumption of sugar
in the United States was 1917 pounds
About 1889, when sugar sold for 8.3-4. cents
a pound, the per capita consumption was
a little over 80 pounds. Now we find that
we are consuming 1914 pounds each, and
the price is 8 ID cents pound
It is not at all likely that any of us will
do without Our daily allowance of sugar, in
spite of present high prices. Sooner will
we economic by going without our night
~ allowance of the movies
For the scientises tell us that our huge
appetite for sugar is due to our tremendous
activities. In England the increased con
sumption of sugar since the war is consid-
cred 4 symptom of the high pace at which
the country is living and working. A
famous medical expert says:
"The simple truth that one may
infer from the demand for sugar is
that the whole rate of life has been
quickened in this country. Sugar is
the fuel of activity and in activity
more and more sugar is burned.
In England, and indeed all over
Europe, men are now living at
greater rate than in times of peace.
Civilization, if you will, is going the
pace, and for the pace sugar is essen
tial, no matter what the price may be"

congress to grant thirteen months
pay for twelve months work.
The usual resolution was offered
during the last session by a compla-
cent senator and would have gone
through without a hitch had it not
been for point or order raised by
Senator Bryan, which effectually
killed the resolution for that time,
and probably put an end to the graf
flying custom. For it was nothing
more or less than graft, that voting
the peoples money for services not
rendered, the full pay having already
been made for such service as was
rendered.
It took considerable moral courage
for a young senator to stand up in
the senate and object to time hon
ored custom, one which had grown
hoary with usage, and which certain
senators depended on to make them
selves solid with some of their con-
stituents, but Senator Bryan possess
ed that courage and also had the
knowledge of the rules necessary to
put an end to a bad practice. Of
coures he was criticized by those
who suffered this cutting of their e1-
ira and unearned pay. The merchants
Of Washington also shouted their dis
approval of a move which is said to
have stopped the payment of some
thing like eighty thousand dollars a
year, which money was spent among
them almost as soon as it was paid
