JACK B. STROTHER REPLIES IN
FULL TO LETTER FROM FIRE
CHIEF e. e. JOHNSON, OF DAY
IONA BEACH.

The following letter was received at
the News Office today and will be of
interest to the people of the pen
insula:
Editor Daily News, Dear Sir:
In the January End edition of the
Morning Journal a letter was pub
lished from the chief of the Daytona
Beach fire department, criticising my
letter of resignation as unjust and
misleading. l notice, however. that he
fails absolutely to refute any of the
charges made against the department.
The records Of the organization during
my term of Office as secretary and
treasurer, show the source of the re-
ceipts and the disbursements which
passed through the hands of the de-
partment and anyone may see them.
AS all of our citizens know, the
Slippery Gulch carnival to which Mr..
Johnson refers and the card parties
the DaytOna Beach hotel were adver-
tised as being given for the fire de.
partment with the special purpose OF
purchasing suits for the firemen
| feel sure that, had the citizens OF
the town known that the proceeds
from these entertainments were to be
used to stuff the 'insides" of the mem
bers. they would not have supported
entertainments in our behalf. Few Of
the Daytona Beach people realize that
the firemen's suits were not paid fol
out of this money but that it came
out of the general taxes and that the
fire department voted to return these
suits. rather than pay the interest OF
the cost until the town had sufficient
funds. Do the people know that {
warrant from the town of Seabreezt
for services of the local department
is also part of the fund that is beinl
used for liquid and solid refresh
ments? The apparatus wears out jus
as much in fighting Seabreeze fire
as in fighting any others. Filling tn

interest in the department" will no
go very far toward the purchase of
new truck when the present one fall
to pieces. Why not put that $25 wal
rant with the amount set aside TO
the department in the annual tax bui
get where it belongs?

a fund for paying for clothing dan

War Aims of Allies S.ated

In the midst of the peace
pourparlars that are in progress
between the representatives of
the reutonic allies and the
bolsheviki government in Rus
sla, the war aims of Great Brit
ain-and doubtless of all her
allies-have been concretely set
forth in the house of commons
by David Lloyd George. the
the British prime minister.
The complete restoration of
territory now in the hands of
the enemy and compensation
for the havoc they have
wrought is the price that will be
demanded for the laying down
of arms and the bringing about
of peace.
Great Britain did not seek ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for her,
self or for any of her allies
when she entered the war. Mr..
Lloyd George said, but entered
into the hostilities merely for
the sake of her honor. As to
Germany's colonies, all of which
are now, in the hands of the
entente, MIR. LLOYD George said,
their disposition must be de
termined at the peace congress.
Jerusalem however, the pre-
mier declared, would never be
restored to the Turks.
The statement of the prime
minister came almost simultane-
ously with a report that the
Teutonic allies intended to
make peace proposals to the
entente and that Russia had
been requested to take similar
steps and was endeavoring to
sound her former allies in arms
as to their requirements for a
cessation of hostilities.
