Hitting the Bulls Eye Again.

The new revelation OF oWeuish
perfidy, made with such quiet as
surance by Mr.. Lansing. is not sur
prising, except insofar as 1t shows
the almost limitless and unfathom-
able stupidity of Germany diplomacy.
What next?" is the natural in
quiry. How much does the Ameri-
can government know?" is the
anxious question among neutral
diplomats, who naturally are trying
to figure out where the blow will
fall next. Those who are innocent
of any wrongdoing do not know
what weak-minded associate of
theirs in the Central or South Amer
ican republics may be caught in the
Secret Service mesh.
Sweden. at least has been brought
to the point where she must either
fish or cut bait" Her first line of
defense has been battered down; II
she is wise she will not try to
interpose a second one. The fact
is she has no defense. She might
make a fat confession and blame
an unscrupulous ring" controlling
the foreign office. That would
mean a house-cleaning. for the
Swedish people, along with the en-
tente governments, would demand
nothing less. Apparently the Swed-
ish government has not peer
brought to this point yet.
True Teutonic callousness has
been exhibited by Sweden so far. II
is too early to judge whether the
expose Of the American govern
ment has had any real effect or
Swedish public opinion. Some Oi
the press resent the stain on Swe
den's honor; other journals seem Il
think the Buenos Aires incident car
be easily explained away. We won
der what they will think of the
Mexico City incident.
By all means Herr Cronholn
should be granted the Iron Cross b!
the Kaiser. He deserves nothing
less than that for excellent service
rendered the German government
1t is indeed a pity that the sus'
piciOn of our enemies las Herr Vol
Eckhardt calls them) should bt
aroused before the war is brough
to a close" 1t is more than a sus
picion now; 1t is a confirmed fact
But We still hope that Herr Cron
| holm gets his decoration, for he il
a hard-working and well-meaninl
diplomat.
Within the next few days Swedei
must either make a frank statemen
of the mending of her ways o
must suffer the consequences. Grea
Britain has already been brough
to the point of demanding show
| down" She has asked an eXplana
| tion from the Swedish governmen
/ of the BuenOs Aires incident. Other
wise she will deny the use Of tn,
British cables to Swedish dipomats
which will be a decidedly painful
matter for all parties concerned.
In the meantime we can only b,
thankful that German diplomac!
has been so abysmally stupid anC
| thickheaded. As the Staats Zeitunl
truly says: If the German arm.
were ruled by such asses" as thosD
in charge Of German foreign policy
| the doom Of HOhenzoIlernism woul,
have been settled long before this.
"A chain is only as strong as it
weakest link" says the proverh
The weakest link in the German
| chain is its diplomacy, and it ha
long before this shown distinc
signs of Cracking under the strain.

Canery and dishonesty. 1t is little
wonder that the peace to follow the
war is dreaded by the business mas
ters Of Germany even more than the
continuance Of the war itself. They
are indeed between Scylla and
Charybdis. and it is they who will
pay the penalty Of the present Teu-
tonic madness, not the vicious mill
tarist autocracy that has brought 1t
all about.

THE NEARER TASK.

THE NEARER TAshs
: sometimes think the reason why
we're vexed,
And in our minds ofttimes so sore
perplexed,
Is that we seek some far on task
And leave undone the ones we're near

And so must turn and many a mile
retrace
Back TO our starting place
To gather up the loose ends there
about
We should have gathered ere we
started out.
In homely phrase, don't let Tomor-

That the well-to-do middle classes can prac-

For several reasons have found It
necessary to change the datessof our
canning club short course from the
10th, 18th and 18th to the following
week, the oath, 25th and 18th. There
are number of club members in both
the Ocala and Citra schools who could
not take part during next week, it be-
ing final examination, and we want to
have them with us If possible. Fur.
thermore, the extra amount of work in
connection with the meat canning and
vegetable drying demonstration has
made it impossible for me to arrange
matters as / would like for the girls
in such a short time.
So we will plan for the Gath, 25th
and 10Th of May, and / want especially
to urge that the girls who can come
will write me just as soon as possible,
that l may list their names. The
members of the Ocala Woman's Club
and friends are going to entertain you
and it is necessary that they know
how many will be with us.

CHANCE IN THE NAVY FOR THE
AMBITIOUS YOUNG MAN

In recent legislation congress has
authorized the appointment of one hun
dred enlisted men to the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis each year, where
they will be trained as officers. This
lis a wonderful opportunity for young
Americans who have the necessary
mental and physical qualifications and
age, and is published for the infor-
nation of the young men as we'll as
parents.
To secure this prize 1T is necessary
that young men enlist in the United
States navy and serve one year as an
enlisted man; he then becames eligi-
BILE to apply for the examination. pro-
vided he is under twenty years of age.
The examination is strictly competi-
tive, and the best man wins. No ap-
pointment from congressman is requir-
ed, and influence. political or other
wise, is of no help. Each boy stands
ON his own merits. The scope of the
entrance examination is about equal to
high school education. 1t is not ne
cessary that boy have high school
education, however. as. schools are
maintained on all ships and stations
where officers are detailed as tutors,
and where boys are prepared for ex-
animation
This is much surer way of enter
ing Annapolis than trying to secure
an appointment from civil life. It will
be borne in mind that of all the
men in the navy only about four thou
sand are of the proper age under
twenty, which means that one out of
every four hundred will receive the
appointment.
For the man or boy. however, who
has not the necessary qualifications
for Annapolis the navy contains many
opportunities also. Advancement is
rapid for the ambitious and studious.
The way is open to chief petty officer,
warrant officer and finally to commits
stoned officer, and by going up this
way the age limit for examination for
commissioned officer is raised to thir-
ty-five.
For further information on this sub
station for the navy.

THE GOVERNMENT CONFRONTED
WITH A REAL MENACE

The real menace threatening our
government is more from within than
from without
1t seems that the negro orator
Roscoe Conklin Simmons-was correct
when he proclaimed:
Treason stalks and skulks up and
down our land; in dark councils i'm
trigues are being Matched"
During the month of April there
was held a socialist convention in the
city of ST. Louis and the majority re-
port of the committee on resolutions
was so revolutionary as to seriously
embarrass the administration il enter
tanned by any considerable number OF
our population.
Indeed it would be more embarrass-
ing than confronting a hostile army
in the open.
In word, these utterances are so
reasonable that Winfield r. Gaylord.
former member of the state senate
of Wisconsin, and until now regarded
as a socialist of the socialists" is
compelled to enter his protest against
them. and to circulate them he says
would be ito spread reasonable mat
ter in the name of socialism"
Mr. Gaylord further says that he is
afraid that the program adopted at
st. Louis will lead to bloodshed. and
the sufferers will not be those whose
brains planned the utterances con-
tanned in the resolutions.
Mr.. Gaylord closes his protest with
the following lamentation:
81 cannot express the regret and
sense of humiliation which comes
over me as l see the position taken
by these men-whether they are con-
scious of it's meaning or not That
fifteen of the last years of my life
should have gone into an organization
which now is used to strengthen the
hands of an autocracy that represents
even more than China does today
the reactionary powers of the earth is
something bitter"
