PARASITES IN MIDST
OF PALM BEACH

The people of Palm Beach county
have spared no expense te make il
to the winter visitor for
whom their tch-string has always
hung on the outside They have
involved themselves heatily in debt
with the openly avowed intention OF
leaving no effort untried to deserve
the continuance of the golden stream
that flows southwark every season
into their favored domain. They
realize that nature has been excep-
tionally bountiful in the matter of
climate and scenic beauties. and they
have joined hands with n1tlNe to
accomplish results that shall APP
proach the delights of paradise In

been slow to show his full apprecia-
tion of the efforts made TO please
him and to provide for his comfort
and amusement. Each year has wit
messed the increase of the legions Il
pleasure-seekers who have sought
health and recreation in the two
Palm Beaches. Each year they note
and congratulate their old friends
on the signs cf growing prosperity.
3ut there is class of visitor that
takes neither interest nor pleasure
| in his sojourn in Palm Beach, where
he doth chiefly flourish. This para
site of the rich, the winter merchant
who pursues his natural prey from
place to place throughout the year
and makes Palm Beach his hunting
ground for a brief three months dur
ing the winter, comes solely for pro-
| fit There seems no special reason
that this unlimited guest should be
released from the obligation of bear
ing his part in the cost of maintain
ing his scene of action. He may be
likened to the social sponge whose
sole return for the hospitality ex-
tended to him is a small tip to the
servants, or to the poacher who in
vades a preserve maintained at great
expense. He uses the roads, his
goods are protected by the local fire
brigade. and guarded by the local
police. and he enjoys all the advan
lagos of his native city in return for
the payment of an occupational tax

utmost confidence in the ability of
the entente allies to win the war.
But. he thought. the end will not
come before next year. although the
approaching summer will see the
Germans fighting on their own Dor
ders and perhaps within them.
Early in the spring, perhaps by
May /. the British will begin a
great drive on the Somme and the
French at verdun. which will force
the Germans back at one of these
/ two fronts. since they will not have
a sufficient number of guns to defend
both fronts. This is war of guns"
Mr. Bowman said.
At the same time the Russian
forces are expected to begin a great
offensive against the Austrians with
/ the intention of forcing Austria to
sue for peace. This is the opinion
among European army officers with
whom he talked. Mr.. Bowman ex
planned.
Mr.. Bowman declared that in mod
ern warfare it is impossible for either
side to break through the others
lines within few days or few
weeks. and it will require tremen-
dous pressure on the part of the en-
tente forces to break the German
lines anywhere, but they began that
pressure on the Somme with the ex-
pectation that il would take a year
to force Germany back on her own
defenses
