harbor and declined to try conclu-
sions with the Italians. The craft
which set at naught the Austrian de-
lenses are vaguely described as
Floats" The deduction is that they
were vessels of light draught, but
how such craft could be made fit for
the carriage of the heaviest naval
guns puzzles the American sharpS.
British, and Italian destroyers and
other small naval vessels participated
in the attack, but the great damage
was done by the floats" The ar
gument is that if naval guns of the
heaviest calibre can be manipulated
by the Italians in the Adriatic; if
war craft have been devised which
can defy the dangers of the cunning
y-strewn mine fields and at the
same time hold at distance the hos
tile dreadnaughts. there is basis for
hope that the British may soon essay
similar operations against the Ger
mans along the Belgian coast and
even against Hcligoland or Wimels-

Mr.. Wilbur's death will be learned

Mr.. Wilbur, large real estate deal

in Florida in the winter of 1911, when
he made an extensive tour of both the
east and west coasts of the state and
seeing the present site of Wilbur he
decided to develop it.
When he returned north he found
many of his friends and acquaintances
anxious to join him and build winter
homes on the site selected by him. He
therefore added to his purchases on
the peninsula and in December, 1912,
came here with some of his friends
and party of engineers and COM
menced the development of the tract
now occupied by the attractive settle
ment of Wilbur-by-the-S with it's
