The area planted to early potatoes
in Florida this year is estimated to
be 24,099 acres, an increase of 1860
acres or nearly forty-seven per cent
over that of last year, according to
the federal bureau of crop estimates.
The University of Florida extension
division encouraged the increased
planting on account of the shortage
of northern potatoes and the resultant
high prices In South Florida the ear
ly crop which was well started before
the February freeze was injured. 9th
err sections of the state sustained COM
paratively slight injury. In spite of
the injury, the increased acreage
should make much larger crop in
the state than that of last year, and
the prices should be well above those
paid for the 1916 crop.
Shakespeare Tor somebody equally
handy with the English language) has
told us that when Greek meets Greek,
then comes the tug of war;" or words
to that effect, but no one has yet ap-
peared who has had the genius to
clothe a quotation equally as express
i've telling US what would happen If
a Greek met a Jew in mortal combat.
This morning, in the heart of the bust
ness section, Abe Tarapani, Jew,
and Alex Crisostomidkis, a Greek,
pulled off stunt, presumably illus
trating ancient prowess, in which the
Greek attempted to obtain strange
hold on the Jew, but was outwitted by
certain submarine tactics which pre-
vented the clinch on the strangle hold
which no doubt would have proved fat
al. After few minutes of clawing in
which shirts were torn and few
bruises obtained the participants
found themselves before his honor the
mayor, who fined them SIS each. Whiea
leads us to remark that "when Greek
meets Jew the chances are that they
will land in the police court and have
a chance to explain how it all happen-
ed, and Incidentally to contribute to-
wards the expenses of maintaining
law and order. "

GUARD ENTERS US
 SERVICE AUGUST 5
PRESIDENT WILSON PAVES WAY TO SEND STATE TROOPS
 TO FRANCE.
14 CAMP SITES ARE READY
Seven Sites Selected Are in South eastern Department, Five in South ern and Two in Western-Wili Be
 Relieved of Old Militia Status.

Washington.-The last step necee. guard available for duty in France was taken by President Wilson with the issue of proclamation drafting the state troops into the army of the United States on August }.
 To make certain that the purpose of the national defense act is carried out. the proclamation also specitical- ly declares the men drafted 10 be dis. charged from the old militia status on that date. In that way the constitu- tional restraint upon use of militia outside the country is avoided and the way paved for sending the regs- ments to the European front.
 Prior to the application of the draft, regiments in the northern and east ern sections of the country are call ed into the federal service as na- tional guardsmen in two increments. to be mobIized on July l5 and 20. Many units already are federalized and presumably they will be mobili2-  states The guard rom the other states will be mobiliZed on the day of the draft. The arrangement was necessary to provide for movement of the regiments south to their concen- tration camps without congestion and to the same end the division of states into these increments was revised from the original schedule.
 The operative date of the draft was delayed until August . so that all regiments can be taken into the army simultaneously to avoid inequal- ities in the relative rank of officers.
 Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen tactical divisions into which the guard will 6e organized for war pur- poses have already been selected and railway routing of the troops to the camps. Seven of the sites selected are in the southeastern department five in the southern and two in the western. The two others will be n the southeastern department. and an- UT they are dpploNSu asSlsHiutht . | regiments to camps and divisions can not be fully worked out The only two divisions positively assigned are the nineteenth. including the Califor- mia guard, which will go 10 Linda Vista, Cal. and the twentieth, includ- ing Oregon.

GERMAN AGENTS
 MUST LEAVE U. s.
FORMER ATTACHES OF EMBAS SY AND CONSUlATES ARE
 NOT DESIRED.

Washiagton.-All Germans, former ly connected either with the embassy or any one of the many consulates in America, have been requested to leave the United States.
 Notification that their presence in America is undesirable has been sent to them by the State Department. They were not told that they were suspected of being spies, but the ln- ference of their loyalty to the kaiser might make it difficult for them to remain in this country without at tempting to send information of mli- itary character to their government, was made clear
 Among the first to go will be Hela' rich Schaafhausen, formerly attach ed to the German embassy, but lett bel,nd by Count von Bcrnstorff, and since attached to the department of German interests of the Swiss lega- tion. In addition to Schaafhausen, there is a long train of clerks and servants-at least they have served in such capacities in this country although the government has nc means of knowing definitely what the exact status of most of them is with the German government. There IS ground for belief that some Of them are persons of more importance to the German intelligence system.
 pr. George Barthleme, the author of tfe much discussed dispatch to the Cologne Gazette at the time dip lomatic relations were severed, still is in Washington, but is required to report to certain government officials in person twice week. Although the bulk of the German and Austrian embassy staffs departed with their ambassadors. two of Germany's allies still have their representative here.
 There are many indications that th- government is taking steps 10 tighten the spy net and make even more difficult the going of military in- formation to Germany.
 When the government agreed to al low the transfer of many former German employees to the Swiss lega- tion and consulates there was no state of war between the United States and Germany. But the declar- ation of war and the knowledge that Germany maintains an efficient spy system here have changed the gov ernment's attitude.

MEXICO TO BREAK
 WITH KAISER BILL
ANTi-GERMAN SENTIMENT GROW. ING IN SOUTHERN REPUBLIC
 WAR IN THIRTY DAYS.

Fl PasO, Texas.-Since the pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first started by Fl Universal in Mexico the sen timent favoring the alhes has reach ed Northern Mexico and during the past 30 days a well-defined move ment favoring an open break with Germany and the alignment of Mexi- co on the side of the entente allies has developed This has been in spite of the pro-German sentiments published daily in Chihuahua City and in other papers believed to be subsidized by the Germans in the north.
 A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement by Gen. Francisco Gonzales, acting com mander-in- chief of the northeastern military zone. with headquarters in Chihuahua. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelsen X Dege- tau for some padlocks. The mana ger was arrested and placed in the penitentiary. The German consul made demand for his release "in the namc Of the imperial German gov ernment and the kaiser" according to a Mexican official. who was present at the time.
 Tell the German consul he, the imperial German government and the kaiser may all go to he'll" Gen. Con gales answered.
 Prominent Mexicans. men in close touch with the capital predict MeXi- co will declare war on Germany with in 30 days. According to these men. all German money in Mexico City. Torreon, Chihuahua City and other banks will be seized as soon as war is declared. the German boats in Tam pico and other ports will be seized. thereby giving Mexico much-needed merchant fleet. and all Germans will either be interned or deported al once, their properties being confls- cated The Tampico oil fields will be made safer for the@oil supply of the allied fleets by declaring a zone in which traffic would be restricted. and the mines. smelters and mills re- opened at once to produce munitions for the allies.
 We can do nothing in military way in Europe" said one of them But we can make Mexico safe for the allied nations and for their prop critics. We can show our sympathy with the same cause for which we have been fighting for the past six years by aiding the allies in every way even though we are unable to assist materially in the war"
 The anti-German sentiment is not unopposed in the north. as the Ger, man residents of Chihuahua City.

But with the usual German method they seem to have overplayed their hand and brought about reac- ton by causing the naturally suspi- cious Mexicans to suspect they had an ulterior motive in their friend ship.
