Florida's progress in health mat

be handled in the Forthcoming an.
nual report of the State Board of
Health, ii appears that only the Sc
rious prevalence of infantile paraly-
sis in New York and other northern
centers threatened the uniformity of
coed health in this State. Extra
ordinary precautions were taken by
the State Board. in cooperation with
municipal and national authorities,
to rpevent infection entering from
these remote sources. And it APP

of the disease were reported from

there is not the slightest evidence
that a single case was traceable tC
the northern centers. Indeed, the
number was not above the annua
average of occurrence in the State
and, as is well known. in the major
ity of cases the origin is difficult /

exchange of compliments that they
might join together and remove the
cause of war. But without a race
cause, a Religious cause, family
cause, or any cause visible to the pub
lie, this war began. and such war as
history has never known. There
must be cause and it must be a hui
man cause, for no one who loves God
would every blame Him for this inhu-
man war. 1t behooves us to find the
cause, that, knowing the cause, we
may, by avoiding it, avoid the conse-
quences.
| have tried to find the cause OF
this war and if my analysis of the
situation is correct the cause Is to be
found in false philosophy-in the
doctrine that bright makes right"
This doctrine was formerly pro-
claimed quite publicly; now it is no
longer openly proclaimed but 1t is
sometimes practiced when the temp
tation is sufficient Before you be-
come excited-while you can yet reas-
on. | appeal to you to set the seal OF

clearly the Importance of reaching a
conclusion and proclaiming it, ] call
your attention to the fact that there
is but one code OF morals known
among men and that is the code that
regulates individual life. II this code
of morals is not to be applied to ma
tions, then there is no moral code
which can be invoked for the regu
. lation of international affairs.

The Cause of
The War
w. ]. Bryan

And now allow me to ask you TO
consider the false philosophy out of
which this war has grown and the
natural results of that false philosophy.
Before speaking of the real cause, it
is worth while TO note that some OF
the causes which have produced war
in the past are not responsible for
this war There have been race wars
in history-wars that have been the
outgrowth of race prejudices which
have sometimes extended through
centuries But this is not race war;
the races are all mixed up in this
warwar Saxon and Slav are allies;
Latin and Frank are allies; Teuton
and Turk are allies. And now. since
Bulgaria has entered the war, Slav is
fighting Slav, and it is not yet known
whether the Creek. if he enters the
war, will side with Turk or Roman.
The races are inexplicably mixed.
And it is not religious war There
have been religious wars, although
we can not understand how a war
could arise over a religious difference.
We have learned to believe that the
right to worship God according to
the dictates of ones conscience is an
inalienable right. and it would never
occur to us that a man would kill an
other in order to prove that his re-
ligion is better than the other mans
religion. According to our theory, If
man desire to prove the superiority
of his religion he lives it, for we do
not count a religion as worthy of the
name if il does not manifest itself
in the life. There have, however,
been religious wars, but this is not
one of them. On the Bosphorus the
crescent and the cross float above the
same legions; Protestant emperor
of Germany is the ally of Catholic
emperor of Austria; and you will find
resentatives of three great branches
of the Christian church, Catholics,
members of the Church of England
and members of the Greek church
The religions are as badly mixed in
this war as the races.
And it is not family war. There
have been family wars-wars that
have had their origin in family feuds
or in family greed, but in this wal
the families are mixed. The Emper
or of Germany, the King of England
and the Car of Russia are cousins
members of one royal family, al
though you would never suspect from
the way they treat each other thai
they are closely related by ties o.
blood.
And there was no cause of war ap
parent on the surface. Within ,
month of the beginning Of the wa
the rulers who are now fighting eacl
other were visiting each other; the,
were being Hospitality entertained
When one of them had a birthday, tn

months. The French had previously
concentrated remarkable number OF
planes and guns in this particular sec.
tor of Flanders, They got on the Job
at once. French squadrillas took to the
air They got the jump on the enemy
assuming the initiative and attaining
complete mastery. Not only that, but
they kept this mastery throughout the
day. French Fighting planes, in the
first aerial defense lines" drove
back Boche fighters. Fast auxiliary
line" planes swooped down over Ger
man trenches or roads just back of the
enemy lines, spraying the troops with
machine gun bullets. Several "ad-
vance" planes ducked far behind the
German lines to drop bombs on muni
tion dumps and depots
Meantime, observation planes how
ering over the German positions and
protected by other "lines" of French
planes, spied out all the enemy's Sc
crets and communicated them back to
French stations. There were so many of
these observation planes and so alert
were their occupants that they spotted
German guns ON their first shots.
Their range estimates were deadly
in accuracy. French batteries put Ger,
man guns out of commission so often
that at the close of the day it was es-
timated the French fire had been TWEEN
ty five times greater than that of the
Germans.
During this time French planes,
heavily armed, flying very close to the
ground, preceded every French infan-
try unit as it leaped out of the tranch-
es.The planes swung up and down the
advancing line, just behind the bar
rage, adding their quota of machine
gun fire to melt away the Boehe re-
sistance and signalling back every
yard of ground over which the advance
was made. The perfect success of the
barrage was due mainly to
their accurate reports of advances.
There were several brilliant afr duels
in this day of wondrous aerial stunts
