two of the lawmakers who had pre-
viously visited the 'Glades. The trip
was a most eventful one. They had
preconceived ideas of the 'Glades, but
the vastness of this empire, the fertil-
ity of the soil was revelation to
them. No better way to show the
public what were their conclusions
than to repeat what portion of them
said regarding the 'Glades and the
drainage project:

son county, senator from the Twenty
second district:
81 am in favor of putting the state
lands back of the drainage bonds if
it takes the last acre. We, in the leg

to formulate bill and bring it up to

Trouble in u. S.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The Associ-
ated Press is able to reveal that Ger
many in planning unrestricted subms-
rine warfare proposed an alliance with
Mexico and Japan to make war on the
United States if this country should
not remain neutral.
Japan, through Mexican mediation,
was to be urged to abandon the allies
and join in an attack on the United
States. Mexico was to receive fnan-
cial support from Germany, reconquer
Texas, New Mexico and, Arizona and
share in the victorious peace terms
Germany contemplated.
Details were left to Minister Won
Eckhardt, at Mexico City, who by in
structions signed by Foreign Minister
Zimmerman, at Berlin, January 49,,
was directed to propose the alliance co
Carranza and suggest that Mexico
seek to bring Japan into the plot.
Instructions were transmitted to
Eckhardt through Ambassador Bern
storff, now on his way home under
safe conduct obtained by the country
against which he was plotting war.
Germany pictured to Mexico by
broad intimation that England and
the Entente were defeated, Germany
triumphant and in world domination
by reason Of the UNRESTRICTED subma
rine warfare. A copy of Zimmerman's
instructions to Won Eckhardt is now
in the possession of the United States.
Zimmerman's Order.
Foreign Minister Zimmerman's in
structions said that Germany would
try to keep the United States neutral,
but that if unsuccessful the alliance
would be formed.
He told Eckhardt to inform Carran-
"a of the plan as soon as he was GER
tain there would be war with the
United States.
The documents have been in the
hands of President Wilson since the
break with Germany.
They have been kept secret while
the president was asking congress for
full authority and while congress was
hesitating. They were likewise III

cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg was de-

Iarpon Springs, Fla, fep. 10.
There are other towns in Florida be-
side St. Petersburg.
This is a fact, though there are
many tourists who don't seem to
know it, or at least their friends in
the north would never suspect it
from hearing their annual reports of
their visits down there. They pour
into ST. Petersburg every winter tat
last reports there were about 100
from Ohio alone), where they SO
crowd the main avenue that you can
hardly elbow your way through the
throng, jam the street, cars, and

places, wait their turn to pitch horse
shoes and play rogue, day after day,
and go home in the spring with est.
Petersburg" and "Florida" fixed in
their minds as equivalent and synon-
omous names, and their knowledge Of
the rest of the state limited to what
they see from the car windows going
and corning, which isn't very much.
To escape the rushing crowds that
began to pour into st. Petersburg ear
ly in January, as we'll as to broaden
our acquaintance with the state, we
left the tourist" capital on the .23rd
and came to Tarpon Springs, forty
miles up the Atlantic Coast Line rail
way, where we are now pleasantly
domiciled.
We were not strangers in Tarpon
Springs, for we spent two months here
three years ago, when we made some
very pleasant acquaintance. The
town is located at the head of the
peninsula on the northern border Of
Pinellas county, on the Anclote river,
about mile back from the gulf shore.
The accompanying illustrations give
some idea of the place. The map very
clearly shows the location of the city
and it's relation to the gulf, river,
lakes and numerous bays, its setting
among which has given it the pseudo
nym, "Venice of the South" The 9th
er large illustration is just a glimpse
of Spring bayou, where the city dock
is located. The small cut is very
good picture of the Tarpon Inn, the
principal hotel of the city, which is
located right on the water front i'll
a most charming location. The view
of the bayou as shown in the picture
is as it appears from the upper Win
dow of the hotel. All around the bays
are elegant residences erected by
wealthy men, with beautiful grounds,
and from the combined standpoint of
work of nature and that of man, no
place that I have ever seen has 50
beautiful waterfront as has Tarpon
Springs, and as material improve
ments go on it will become more and
more so.
And there is lot of improvement
going on here, as we note by compari-
son with conditions during our for
mer visit. What were then sand roads
are now brick streets, of which there
are now six or seven miles, and these
are to be extended as rapidly as pos
sible. There are fifteen miles of CO.
ment sidewalks. There is a complete
sewerage system and one of the most
complete and efficient water works
plants, owned by the city, which it
has been my fortune to see. The ma
chinery, consisting of large crude
oil engine driving a triple-acting
pump, is housed in substantial brick
building large enough to accommo-
date another similar unit when it shall
be needed.
However, the present equipment is

Like the saurian monster emerging
from the rivers depths where ne has
remained dormant for months, Tarpon
Springs has walked from her long
sleep and in the past few years has set
her feet firmly on the rocks of prog
ress and taken her place among the
leading cities of the state. Tarpcn's
growth, like the saurian's movements,
has been slow and sure, and that she
is gradually forging ahead with a
steady even tread is told IN a letter
written by c. W. Bloom, formerly ed
itor of the Paris, o., Mirror which
was featured and covered a page Of
this pithy paper and illustrated by
three scenes of our city,
Mr.. Bloom omitted many of the
advantages of Tarpon Springs, though
to those not intimately acquainted
here it would sem that no more could
be said-and yet the half has, not
been told.

AUSTIN Y. HOY
ASKS REVENGE FOR
MOTHERS DEATH

Washington, Dec. 28.-President
Wilson has received the following ca
blegram from Austin Y. Hoy of Lon
don, whose mother and sister were lost
when the Laconia was terpedoed with
Iosst warning by German submarine:
/" am an. American citizen, repre-
.senting the Sullivan Machinery Co.,
of Chicago, living abroad, not an expa-
triate, but for the promotion of AMI
erican trade. / love the flag, believing
in its significance. My beloved mother
and sister, passengers on the Laconia,
have been toully murdered on the high
seas.
q AAs an American citizen outraged
and as such, fully within my rights,
and brother bereaved, l call upon my
government to preserve its citizens
self-respect and save others of my
countrymen from such deep grief as
/ now feel. l am of military age, able
to fight. If my country can use me
against these brutal assassins / am at
its call. If it stultifes my manhood
and my nations by remaining passive
under outrage I shall seek a mans
chance under another flag"
Central America and West Indies,
are based on fact.
Tier is now no doubt that the pro-
posed alliance was known to high
Mexican officials, distinguished for an
ti-Americanism, including Rafael Zu-
.baran, Carranza minister to Germany,
sid sasuis Cabrera, his minister of Fl
nance.

 Tt has always appealed to me that the general management of an auto mobile business should consist in the closest cooperation and coordination of the manufacturing and selling branches-this to my mind. forms an ideal combination, and this ideal situa- ton presented itself to me in the Mitchell company.
 It has seemed to me from my long | experience in automobile manufacture. that the sales department, coming in contact with the avenues of distribu l tion to the ultimate consumer, receives l the most sensitive information of the 1 trend of the market, which can be used | toward aiding the manufacturing de- partment in constantly keeping abreast of the times in meeting the public needs and demands in the most eX- peditious way.
 MT Durlands standing as a manu- facturer can leave no doubt as to the high-class product of the Mitchell company, and there was a compelling appeal to me in the offer to associate myself with him along the lines indi-
 cated in the management of the Mitch. ell company, and thereby be able tC

mcnt, the most autocratic power the world has ever seen in government matters. Before this war is over the president is going to be the greatest autocrat in the history of the world. His power is going to reach every cor poration in the land, and every indi- vidual, and regulate to whatever eX- tent is necessary for government use. This is coming certainly with the pro- longation of the war, and believe we are in for a long siege of it.
 We have got to move from low, inefficient plane of democratic fighting to that high efficient plane of auto cratic fighting, and we are expected to do it over night-an impossible thing But progress is being made, and we are moving forward steadily to the point where this sleeping American giant will be awakened. to become the mightiest fighting force nthe earth in this great war It is the decision o1 this nation that we are not going tc have any people on earth menace us and we are fighting to make our fu- ture seure for all time"

 By far the most surprising news to the automobile world. however, is the resignation of MT. Rueschaw as a di- rector in and sales manager of the Rec Moto Car company.
 MT. Rueschaw has been connected in an executive capacity with the Rec company practically since it's inception, having come with the company year after it's organization in 1904.
 Mir. Rueschaw has long been con- sidered one of the automobile indus try's most active and prominent fig ures, so that his leaving the Rec com pany occasions the widest interest among all those in any way connected with motor manufacture or sales.
 MT. Rueschaw in an interview said:
 T leave the Rec company with the greatest measure of regret. Fourteen years of active association is not cas- fly severed without the maturest delib- eration. I am sure my final decision was as much a surprise to me as il was to my associates in the Rec com pany, but when the opportunity i'll the Mitchell company was unfolded to me from my knowledge of the motor cal industry, it was so irresistible as tC leave me no ground for refusal
