HOPES TO DECEIVE ALL DEMOC-
 RACY

HOPES TO DECEIVE ALL DEMOC-
 RACY
 Do you not now understand the new intrigue, the intrigue for peace, and why the masters of Germany do not hesitate to use any agency that promises to effect their purpose. the deceit of the nations? Their present particular aim is to deceive all those who throughout the world stand for the rights of peoples and the self-government of na- tions; for they see what immense strength the forces of justice and of liberalism are gathering out of this war. They are en- ploying liberals in their enter prise. They are using men, in Germany and without. as their spokesmen whom they have hith erto despised and oppressed, us ing them for their own deStl uc- tion-socialists, the leaders of la bor, the thinkers they have hith erto sought to silence. Let them once succeed and these men, now their tools, will be ground to powder beneath the weight of the great military empire they will have set up; the revolution lsts in Russia will be cut off from all succor or co operation in western Europe and a counter revolution fostered and support ed; Germany herself will lose her chance of freedom; and all Flu rope will arm for the next, the final struggle.
 The sinister intrigue is being no less actively conducted in this country than in Russia and in every country in Europe to which the agents and dupes of the Imperial German Govern ment can get access. That Gov

ernment has many spokesmen here, in places high and low. They have learned discretion. They keep within the law. It Is opinion they utter now, not sedl- tiOn They proclaim the liberal purposes of their masters; de- clare this a foreign war which can touch America with no dan ger to either her lands or her in- stitutions; set England at the center of the stage and talk of her am bition to assert economic dominion throughout the world; appeal to our ancient tradition of isolation in the politics of the na- tions; and seek to undermine the Government with false profcs- sions of loyalty to it's principles.
 WILL MAKE NO HEADWAY
 But they will make no head way. The false betray them selves always in every accent. It is only friends and partisans of the German Government whom we have already identified who utter these thinly disguised dis royalties. The facts are patent to all the world, and nowhere are they more plainly seen than in the United States, where we are. accustomed to deal with facts and not with sophistries; and the great fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a peo- pies war, a war for freedom and justice and self government f amongst all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live up on it and have made it their own, the German people themselves included; and that with us rests the choice to break through all these hypocricies and patent cheats and masks of brute force and help set the world free, or else stand aside and let it be dominated a long age through by sheer weight of arms and the arbitrary choices of self-consti- tuted masters, by the nation which can maintain the biggest armies and the most irresisti- ble armaments, power to which the world has afforded no parallel and in the face of which political freedom must wither and perish.
 For us there is but one choice. We have made it. Woe be to the 1 man or group of men that seeks to stand in our way in this day of high resolution, when every principle we hold dearestis to be vindicated and made secure for the salvation of the nations We are ready to plead at the bar of history, and our flag shall wear a new luster. Once more we shall make good with our lives and for tunes the great faith to which we wele born, and new glory shall shine in the face of our people.

by the same forces and influences that had originally cemented the German States themselves. The dream had it's heart at Berlin. It could have had a heart nowhere else! It rejected the idea of solid arlty of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no part in it at all. It contemplated bind ing together racial and political units which could be kept togeth- CT only by force-Czechs, Mag vars, Greats. Serbs, Roumanians Turks, Armenians-the proud States of Bohemia and Hungary the stout little commonWealthS of the Balkans. the indomitable Turks, the subtle peoples of the East. These peoples did not wish to be united. They ardently de- sired to direct their own affairs, would be satisfied only by undis> puted independence. They could be kept quiet only by the pres ence or the constant threat of armed men. They would live un- der a common power only by sheer compulsion and await the day of revolution. But the Ger man military statesmen had reckoned with all that and were ready to deal with it in their own way.
 AUSTRIA AT GERMANY'S MERCY
 And they have actually carried the greater part of that amazing plan into execution! Look how things stand. Austria is at their mercy. It has acted, not upon it's own initiative or upon the choice of it's own people, but at Berlin's 1ictation ever since tLe war began. It's people now de- sire peace, but can not have il until leave is granted from Der lin. The so-called Central pow CTS are in fact but a single pow CT. Serbia is at it's mercy. should it's hands be but for a moment freed. Bulgaria has consented tC it's will, and Romania is overrun The Turkish armies, which Ger. mans u aimed, are serving Ger many, certainly not themselves and the guns of German war ships lying in the harbor at Con stantinople remind Turkish statesmen every day that they have no choice but to take their orders from Berlin. From Ham  burg to the Persian Gulf the net is spread.
 Is it not easy to understand the eagerness for peace that has been manifested from Berlin ever since the snare was set ano sprung? Peace, peace, peace has been the talk of her foreign of flee for now a year and more, not peace upon her own initiative but upon the initiative of the na- tions over which she now deems herself to hold the advantage.

 Through all sorts of channels it has come to me, and in all sorts ot guiSes, but never with the terms disclosed, which the Ger man Government would be will ing to accept. That Government has other valuable pawns in it's hands besides those 1 have men toned. It still holds valuable part of France, though with slowly relaxing grasp, and prac- tically the whole of Belgium. Its armies press close upon Russia and overrun Poland at their will. It can not go further; it dare not go back. It wishes to close it's bargain before it is too late and it has little left to offer for the pound of flesh it will demand.
 The military masters under whom Germany is bleeding see very clearly to what point fate has brought them. If they fall back or are forced back an inch, their power both abroad and at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. It is their power at home they are thinking about now more than their power abroad. It is that power which is trembling under their very feet; and deep fear has entered their hearts.

THE PRESIDENTS FLAG DAY AD-
 DRESS

1OllOW1ng address at the rag Day exercises in Washington June IA:
 Nip FeHow Citizens: We meet to celebrate Flag. Day because this flag which we honor and un der which we serve is the em- blem of our unity. our power. our thought and purpose as a Nation. It has no other charac ter than that which we give 1t from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And Yet, though silent, it speaks to uS-speakS to us of the past. of the men and women who went before us and of the records they wrote upon it. We celebrate the day of it's birth; and from it's birth until now it bas witnessed great history, has fioated on high the symbol of great events. of a great plan of life worked out by great people. We are about to carry it into battle, to lift 1t where it will draw the fire of our enemies. We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of thou sands, it may be millions, of our men. the young, the strong, the capable men of the Nation, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far away-for what? For some unaccustomed thing? For somethi lg for which it has never sought the fire before? American armies were never before sent across the seas. Why are they sent now? For some new pur- pose, for which this great flag has never been carried before, or for some old, familiar, heroic purpose for which it has seen men, it's own men die on every battle field upons which Ameri- cans have borne arms since the Revolution?
 ACCOUNTABLE AT BAR OF HIS
 TORY
 These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to serve.
 It is plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extra ordinary insults and aggressions of the Imperial German Govern ment left us no self respecting choice but to take up arms in de fense of our rights as a free peo- pie and of our honor as a sover- eign Government. The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They fill ed our unsuspecting communl- ties with vicious spies and con. spirators and sought to corrupt the opinion of our people In their own behalf. When they found that they could not do that, their agents diligently spread sedition amongst us and sought to draw our owD citizens from their ale. giance-and some of those agents were men connected with the of, ficial embassy of the German Government itself here in our own Capital They sought by violence to destroy our indus tries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into hostile alliance with her-and that, not>by indi- rection, but by direct suggestion from the foreign office in Berlin. They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeat.

| community in which hostile in trigue dld not turk. What great nation in such circumstances would not have taken up arms? Much as we had desired peace. it was denied us, and not of our own choice This flag under which we serve would have been dishonored had we withheld our hand.
 But that is only part of the story. We know now as clearly as we knew before we were our selves engaged that we are not the enemies of the German peo- pie and that they are not our en emies. They did not originate or desire this hideous war or wish that we should be drawn into it; and we are vaguely conscious that we are fighting their cause, as they will some day see it, as well as our own. They are them selves in the grip of the same sinister power that has now at last stretched it's ugly talons out and drawn blood from us. The whole world is at war because the whole world is in the grip of that power and is trying out the great battle whicn shall deter mine whether it is to be brought under it's mastery or fling itself free.
 WAR BEGUN BY GERMAN MILL
 TARISTS
 The war was begun by the military masters of Germany, who proved to be also the mas. ters of Austria Hungary. These men have never regarded nations as peoples, men. women, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom govern. mentS existed and in whom gov ernmentS had their life. They have regarded them merely as seryiceable organizations which they could by force of intrigue bend or corrupt to their own purpose. They have regarded the smaller States, in particular, and the peoples who could be overwhelmed by force, as their natural tools and instruments of domination Their purpose has long been avoWed.
 DEVELOPED PLANS OF REBELLION
 The statesmen of other na- tiOns, to whom that purpose was incredible, paid little. attention; regarded what German profes- SorS eXpounded in their class rooms and German writers set forth to the world as the goal of German policy as rather the dream of minds detached from practical affairs, as preposterouS private conceptions of German destiny, than as the actual plans of responsible rulers; but the rulers of Germany themselves knew all the while what concrete plans, what well advanced in trigues lay back of what the pro fessors and the writers were saying, and were glad to go for ward unmolested. filling the thrones of Balkan States with German princes, putting Ger man officers at the service of Turkey to drill her armies and make interest with her Govern ment, developing plans of sedi tion and rebellion in India and Egypt, setting their fires in Per sia The demands made by Aus tria upon Serbia were a mere single step in a plan which com passed Europe and Asia, from Berlin to Bagdad. They hoped those demands might not arouse Europe, but they meant to press them whether they di9 or not. for they thought themselves

SATISFIED NORTHERNfR
WRITES BACK HOME
HIS OPINION OF
LAKELAND

Writing to the Toledo, (Alich.)
Blade, a Lakeland resident says:
Il want to write something about
Florida and the wrong impressions
people receive about us down here. 1t
is fact that there are towns in
Florida where it is said that they
live on sweet potatoes in the summer
and on tourists during the winter"
1t is also true that if a man comes
here prepared to be skinned he can
be accommodated most anywhere.
But there is a different side to the
question. There are in Lakeland to-
dav hundreds of northern tourists who
are living nearly as cheaply as they
would at home. They are just COM
mon everyday folks, and they come
from all sections of the north to es-
cape the cold. They rent rooms cost
ing from five to ten dollars a month,
and board themselves from the gener-
al market. Frequently from three to
five families are found in the same
house.
Food in general is a trifie higher
than in the north owing to extra
transportation charges, but many
fruits and vegetables can be bought
from the farmers wagons or at the
grocery stores cheaper than in the
north. Many of these tourists return
every year, spending their time in
fishing and strolling around. Another
class own their own winter homes
here.
Hundreds of tourists are turned
away from Lakeland every year ov
ing to lack of accommodations. While
they are always welcome, a glimpse
of the express platform when wagon.
loads of beautiful strawberries are
brought in for shipment, or a visit to
our orange packing house would con-
vince you that people here find other
pursuits more profitable than fish
ing for suckers"
Florida's worst drawback is the ly.
ing boomer, and they are not all in
Florida, either. l have lived here 10
years, having spent 43 years in north
ern Pennsylvania, and I wish to say
have no desire to return to the land
of my childhood.-O. w. B., Florida

Mrs. A. B. GOrdOn'S
Talk on Farm Isolation
Before Farmers Club

The lack Of the larger privileges
of the association is one OF the
greatest handicaps to agriculture. In
addition to the isolation of conduct
irg the necessary farm operations,
the hours of ease and rest are de-
prived also of the larger opportuni-
ties of association. 1t takes effort
to go to visit a neighbor when the
nearest one lives from half a mile TO
a mile away.
Social gatherings are infrequent.
Few people or none pass the farm In
a DAYS time. Life has tendency
to seem monotonous, lean, and lone
some to those who love friendship
and companionship.
Farm islation can probably never
be entirely prevented, due to tue
very nature of agricultural work.
But the feeling of isolation that has
led so many people to leave the farm
and others to spend their lives in a
state of dissatisfaction and unhap-
piness. can certainly be gotten rid
of.
In the first place. the farmer and
his wife must not be satisfied with
