AMERICANS HELD AS
PRISONERS OF WAR
Notice Served on Germany to
Release Them.
ANOTHER TREATY VIOLATED
Relief Workers In Germany Who Re-
manned To Finish Up Their Work
Reported Among Those
Detained.

hington.-American are being
detained as prisoners of war by Ger
many, in Belgium and in Germany, it
was announced by the State Depart
ment
AS result demand has been made
upon Germany for complete and
definite statement of her attitude con-
corning the departure Of American
citizens. This demand has been made
through the Spanish Ambassador at
Berlin, who represents American in
terests in Germany.
The action of the German govern
ment is in complete violation of the
Prussian-American treaties of 1899 and
1928. which provide certain rights for
nationals of either nation in the other
in time of war. One of these rights
is permission to depart at will for
nine months after the war declara-
ton The United States has observed
it's Obligations, having acted promptly
on all applications of Germans to
leave the United States.
neiiSI WORKERS n0iQ.
Among the Americans detained are
said to be relief workers in Belgium,
who stayed behind to gather up the
loose ends of the work at the time
Brand Whitlock and the majority of
the Belgian Relief Commission were
withdrawn.
At the outbreak of the war there
were some 5000 Americans in Ger
many, including several consular Off
GERS. These later reached Switzer-
land with the exception of one, who
was i'll. About 500 Americans left Ger
many. OF the remaining $500 a num-
Der were of German birth, naturalized
in the United States. State Depart
ment officials expressed the belief that
the majority OF these hyphenated
Americans had probably renewed their
German allegiance.
The other bona f1de Americans, how
ever, apparently have been unable to
leave Germany despite their efforts
to do so. 1t was strongly intimated at
the State Department that if Germany
ton and allow any Americans who
wish to depart, immediate reprisals
will be adopted by the United States.
Treaties Violated.
The State Department has made no
concealment of its belief that Germany
has violated the Prussian-American
treaties. The first violation of the
treaties by Germany was the destruc-
ton of the American sailing ship Will
liam P. Frye by the commerce raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. now the United
States steamship Won Steuben, in the
opinion of State Department authori-
ties.
May Annul Treaties.
The probabilities are that early con-
gressional action toward wiping out
the treaties will be asked. This will
leave the nationals of both countries
on an even plane and the United States
will be in position to legislate con-
corning the treatment of alien
enemies, instead of being bound by
treaty obligations.
Besides the American civilians who
are being detained in Germany latest
reports indicate Germany is holding
about 100 other Americans in her pris-
oners' camps, They are for the most
part sailors captured on British or
other ships by German raiders or sub
marines.

CATS JR. RECOMMENDED
BY HIS COLONEL
Men of Tallahassee Company Must
Accept Him Or be Classed
as Mutineers

Tallahassee, July 25.-There were
more developments last night in the
case of the local company of Ma
tional Guard, some members of which
have refused to accept Sydney j.
Cats Jr., son of the governor, and
appointed as captain of the company.
The first lieutenant has been dismiss
ed, his commission being taken from
him. In retort, some of the members
of the company declare they will not
continue in the company, although
they were advised by Col. S. c. Har-
rison Jr., commanding the regiment,
that the company has been federaliz-
ed. This is borne out by kilograms
from Senators Fletcher and Tram
nell, who telegraphed from Wash
ington that the company has been
federalized.
Colonel Harrison told the men that
young Cats had been appointed cap
tain of the company on the recon-
mendation of the adjutant- general
and the commanding officer of the
regiment; that he is recommended by
army officers at Fort Mcpherson,
where he has been in training, as one
Of the most competent men at the
camp, and he advised the men not to
listen to those who would resent au-
thority, for if they do, it may get
them in trouble.
Among those protesting the ap-
pointment of Cats as captain are Sec
ond Lieut.. H. Clay Crawford Jr., and
son of State Senator A. S. Wells of
Leon The affair has caused much
excitement here. The young men
claim they have the right to select
their own commanding officer.

PICKING COTTON

The first scattering bolls of cotton
are beginning to open and the farm
ers are picking small quantities here
and there, some few pounds and
others several hundred. BY another
week cotton picking will begin in a
lively manner, but it will be several
weeks before it is under full head
way. The season has been such that
the cotton will be opening and pick
ers will be busy for long time, as
much of the cotton will not be open
till late August or early September.
The plants are so healthy and vigor-
Gus that the upper bolls will mature
and make many pickings. The pick
ing of the great cotton crop in Mar
ion county this season is going to be
some job.

duty to stand unequivoca1ly for race
purity, race integrity.
Is that a fiendish crime? Is it a
crime at all? Is it one for which any
race should be ashamed?
We have only to cast our eyes
across the border into Mexico, towards
Central America, Cuba, Haiti or San
Domingo to measure the results OF
race impurity, so we are trying as
best we can to avoid like condition.
We do not want the south-fair as
any spot on Gods domain-to become
mongrelized. Why blame us?
Should we be mathematical for
that? Is it immoral? Is it un-Chris-
tian? Is it in contravention of Gods
ordinances or the very work of his
hands?
If 1T is any or all of these things
then the whole people of the sonth
need to be born again.

Dogs Not Admitted Here" Nor have
| ever seen a person who would say
on his honor that he had ever seen
such a sign in any part of the south.
| can, therefore, regard it but fab
rication.
AS God in his creation differentiated
the races, making some white, some
black, others red, and yellow, we must
believe that he did so for some wise
purpose.
We know that he frowned upon race
amalgamation among "his chosen
people," and inculcated among them
the doctrine and precepts of race pur-
ity. And throughout the ages, in
stress and storm, who does not honor
the Jew for keeping his race separate
and distinct? So we cannot be made
to believe that in carrying out his om-
nipotent designs that we are wholly
sinful.
It is true that in the south we have
a segregation of the races. We have
separate public schools, separate Sun
day schools, separate churches, sepa-
rate public conveyances and separate
hotels and boarding houses.
The negroes first set the example,
and in saying this we are not endeay-
oring to dodge the issue. They first
cut themselves loose from the white
churches and established separate
churches of their own, presided over
by their own ministers and their own
bishops.
They preferred to do this. and we
were glad for them to do So They
felt less embarrassed, more free and

DAVID EVANS STROBLE

After some weeks of intense suf-
fering David Evans Strobe departed
this life at his home near Belleview
in great peace, July II, in the pres
ence of his family.
He was born Jan. 6, 1850, in Alach-
ua county and was married to Mis-:
Rebecca w. Togg of Belleview, and to
this union was born four girls: Annie
Belle, Alice and Lenora. The first de-
parted this life at about f3 years of
age, also his wife about the same
time.
The funeral services were held in
the Baptist church in Belleview, of
which he had been a member for {
number of years, also a senior deacon
at his death. The services were at
tended by large concourse of friends
and relatives. The interment was
made in Belleview cemetery, July 18
by the side of his sainted wife and
daughter. The services were conduct
ed by the writer. A beautiful cedar
tree set out some years ago by his
own hands marks the spot where he
rests. The floral display placed or
the grave by loving hands was elab-
crate and beautiful.
Brother Stroble leaves one brother
VIM. w. Strobe, of High Springs
three children, Miss Belle Strobe OF
Belleview, Mrs. S. B. Vining of Plant
City and Mrs. J. M. Coin of Shady
and five grandchildren.
The greatest eulogy that could be
paid to him is that he was an honest
Christian gentleman; in his dealings
he always gave the best in quality anc
| quantity. He was devoted to his fam
| lily and to his church, was always il
! his place in church if possible and {

The writer often talked with hin
on the subject of religion and he hac

of great faith in God. He has lefr
all evidences that he is at rest, so the
family know where to find him.
