Would Not Create Precedent.

His majesty's government do not
therefore, feel able to create such an
entirely new precedent as would be
constituted by the supervisory com
mission suggested by the American
Red Cross
In his letter of June 10, and in max
ing the proposal with reference to a
commission to supervise the handling
of American Red Cross supplies for the
central powers, Mr.. Taft said in part:
"As a possible solution to the diff
ference which now exists in our view
of the obligation of the British govern
ment under the Geneva convention and
its announced policy in limiting the
permits for shipments of medical sup
plies to the Red Cross hospital units
in the territory of the central powers,
/ beg to suggest, on behalf of the
American Red Cross, that while we
have no further funds with which to
maintain medical or hospital units in
the territory of the central powers, we
would be able to send over a commits
sion of satisfactory persons to receive
our shipments and to superintend their
distribution to hospitals and to SUPER
wise their use This commission would
be composed of persons for whose good
faith the Red Cross would vouch in see
ing to it that the supplies were de-
voted to hospital purposes only and to
the relief of the sick and wounded"

ENGLAND REFUSES
TO GIVE APPROVAL
HaIts Red Cross Plan to Dis
tribute Hospital Supplies to
Central Powers.

Great Britain has declined to approve
an offer of the American Red Cross to
send to the General powers of Europe
a commission of satisfactory persons
TO receive American Red Cross ship
ment, superintend their distribution to
hospitals and supervise their use Such
a proposal was made by former Presi-
dent Taft, chairman of the General com
mittee of the American Red Cross, in
letter to the Secretary of State, dated
June 10, and cabled to the British gov
ernment by the State Department June
IS.
The reply of Sir Edward Grey. secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs of
Great Britain, as transmitted to the
American Red Cross by the American
State Department. is dated July u, and
follows:
II have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your excellency's note of the
22d ultimo regarding the proposal put
forward by the American Red Cross,
with view to facilitate the shipment
Of Red Cross supplies from the United
States to the central powers.

Provisions Observed.

II have carefully considered this pro-
posal, but l am at a loss to understand
the suggestion made by the American
Red Cross and quoted in your excel
lency's note that the policy pursued by
his rnajesty's government is contrary
to the provisions of the Geneva conven-
tion. His ma jesty's government have
in fact always taken the most scrup-
lous care to observe the provisions of
this convention, and they cannot ap-
preciate how the present subject at all
falls within its scope In this connec-
ton your excellency may be interested
to read the annexed statement publish
ed in the New York Times on the 18th
of May last, which sets forth the views
of the French government on the
claims of the American Red Cross.
His rnajesty's government have no
reason to believe that there is an abso-
lutte lack in the territory of the cen
tral powers of the materials required
for Red Cross supplies. They have, on
the contrary, every reason to suppose
the reverse; for, to give only one in
stance, not long ago a medical member
Of the Austrian general staff, Prof
Hochenegg, wrote to the -, stating
that there was no shortage and no
prospect of shortage in medicines or
bandages, nor even in highly special
medical remedies, so that Austria was
hardly concerned in the success of the
protest made by the American Red
Cross against the obstacles placed by
the allies in the way of the export of
such articles from America. In these
circumstances it is evident that if any
deficiencies in these supplies exist, as
to which there appears to be no evil
dence, it must be due to the fact that
the central powers prefer to use the
materials for other purposes, and any
steps that may be taken to give them
further supplies would conduce not TO
the increased welfare of the sick and
wounded. but merely to set free larger
quantities of such materials for bel
Igerent purposes.

MIAMI EXPECTS BOSTON
BRAVES SOON

Miami, Feb. 7.-Everything is
being gotten in readiness for the ar
rival of the Boston Braves during
the latter part of this month. The
Tatum park grounds are about com
pleted and will be in fine shape for
the seasons training campaign
which will begin about the 25th
when Manager George Stallings is
expected to be on hand with his
bunch of diamond stars who he says
will be made pennant winners be-
cause of Miami's fine training
grounds and the excellent climate
that this section of the State pos
sesses.
1t was said at the Royal Palm last
night that reservations had been
made for Percy Houghton, the pres
ident of the Boston Club, who is
due tc arrive in Miami on Feb. 81,
and no time will be lost from that
time on until the Braves are ready
to return to Boston to begin their

No candidate for governor is max
ing better impression upon the peo-
pie than Hon. F. NJ. Hudson Of Mi
ami There is an obvious sincerity
and solidity about him, suggestion
of quiet force of character and de-
inability, that appeals to think
ing men who understood that we
want no spectacular mountebank or
elastic time-server as the executive
head of the State, but well-in-
formed man of affairs, too strong to
be ratified" in a crisis or yield to
the clamor of the unthinking, too
honest to swerve hairsbreadth
from the line laid down by his con-
science and jude ment, too game to
fear the mob and too sincere to seek
by the specious arts of the dema-
gogue to play on the prejudices OF
ignorance to further his own ends.
Mr.. Hudson is a strong, honest, ca
pable man and he will grow steadily
in the opinion of the people as the
right man for the place as the cam
paign progresses.

AMAZING IGNORANCE
CONCERNING FLORIDA

The amazing ignorance about
Florida among people outside the
State. supposed to have fairly accu-
rate knowledge of the country in
general, instead of the fictions of
childhood about far-off terrifying
lands peopled with monsters, is
str,kingly illustrated by recent
editorial expression in the Cleveland
(ohio) Plain Dealer. one of the
prominent papers of the Middle
West Says the Plain Dealer:
Never in history has Florida been
so eongested. The narrow strips of
habitable land along the coasts are
already overrun with vacationers
and seekers of pleasure and warmth,
and there is danger of an overflow
into the swampy wildernesses of the
interior +"
Truly, there is need for education
in the Plain Dealer office, With by
far the best part of Florida, and that
best vastly greater in area, in the
interior Of the State. what is to be
said of the stupendous ignorance

Lesson of Modern Sport.

To the young athlete the lesson
modern sport teaches is: Attend as
well to the cultivation of the mind as
to the training of the body and its
muscles, if you would enjoy competi-
tive athletics to the full. The first is
as necessary as the last to become su-
perexcellent at any sport, to get the
greatest enjoyment from sport and to
cope with its emergencies.
