EUROPE JOYFUL
OVER DECISION
Of PRES. WILSON

London, April i3:-Great joy over
President Wilson's message to con-
gress and the decisive turn of events
which it forecasts is expressed by all
British and French newspapers. While
welcoming with delight the addition of
the United States to the iron ring Of
nations which now surround the GEN.
trail powers, the papers all sound a
note of stern warning to the new ally
regarding the enterprise in which it
has decided to take part.
Europe has found that war means
hardship and privation and all the pa
pers point to the probability of Ameri-
ca having to suffer to at least some de-
gree the same difficulties which Eng
land and France have had to put up
with.
Modern methods of warfare mean
modern cost and modern forms of tax
alton and all precedents which any
country might have had in mind when
this conflict was started have long
since gone by the board.
All the leading European papers
point to the fact that America is now
largely IN the same position in which
England found herself at the outset of
the war. If our troops take the field
they will find themselves pitted
against the most perfectly organized
and well equipped army of modern
times and one which is fit to try the
metal of the fighting forces of any ma
Y ton.

PAT RlOTlSM
DISPLAYED TN
TARPON SPRINGS

Ever since the Lusitania was sunk,
now about two years ago, we have
been in state of war with Germany.
Unfortunately the word Germany"
includes the people of Germany, who
are not included in our Interpretation
of the word.
We are at war with the house of Ho-
henzollern-and their hackers and
strikers-the military party; not with
the people of Germany.
Tarpon Springs is ablaze with pa
triotism. Before every business house
in the city "Old Glory" the flag that
was never yet pulled down, that knows
no such word as defeat" floats proud
ly in the breeze.
We have no sympathy for the man
who gets his living under the protec-
ton of the American flag and then
spouts treason from every pore in
ceaseless chatter upholding the work
of murder which is being conducted by
the military party in Germany. We
have no sympathy with a government
whose head claims a fifty-ffty part
nership with God Almighty, and strad-
dies a throne because of the "Divine
Right of Kings"
"Me und Colt" has no place in Am
erican conception.
The late speech of the German chan
cellor in the German reichstag, con-
corning the kaiser's policy toward this
country in the matter of submarine
attacks on American ships and citizens
is an astonishing effort to throw the
blame of war between Germany and
America on the United States. He
processes surprise that America can
find any reason for war in the unwar-
ranted destruction of American prop
erty and the murder of American cit
liens on the high seas where they have
a perfect right to be.
One thing we in America will have
to look out for-and that is German
spies. The woods are full of them.
The spy method of warfare is char
acteristic of the kaiser's government.
He has highly developed system of
|slipping up behind a man and stabbing
him in the back. The spy system of
Germany permeates every walk in life
and every brand of business. Only a
short time ago an editor of paper
was arrested, convicted and imprison-
ed as a German spy, and when things
have reached the stage where a news
paper man can become corrupted by
the kaiser it is time for the balance of
the world to sit up and take notice.

German Spies Discovered.

Washington, April 3.-It became

interests.

Age Limit Not Yet Fixed.
Washington, April 3.-Administra-
ton plans for raising an army of
young men on basis of the princi-

for war remains to be made by the
navy department. 1t is the mobiliza-
ton of the naval militia and the VAR
GUS classes of the naval reserve. The
former will go to the reserve ships and
the others to the coast patrol and sub
marine chasers.
Bids were opened today for 16-inch
rifles for coast defense.
