Probably a Pine Tree

When the Kaiser stood on the bal
cony Of his palace in August of 1914
and shouted to the populace that the
army would be back in Berlin before
the leaves would fall he must have re-
fercd to the pine trees" said Merle St.
Croix Wright, one of New York S
greatest speakers and member of the
Club. DR.. Wright spoke at lunch
meeting in the ballroom of the Hotel
McAlpin. "Right is right and wrong
is wrong, and Germany has the wrong
idea of right All ends are jeopareized
when the German state idea is put into
existence. 1t is utterly impossible to
deal with nation that has one set of
moral rule for within its border and
another set for outside Force and
unconditional defeat is the only answer.
Germany has no right to rule and She
shall not rule. | can forgive but |

"Germanye was getting along we'll

commercial progress, but she wasn't
satisfied and let 90 what she had and

except dispose of Germany by physical

country that our grandmothers will go
out if necessary and sweep Germany
from the world with an old broom"

LONDON, Feb. %. TIE British army
is the most democratic of any Of the
great European armies, declared Lord

replying recently to criticism of the
dliiculty of efficient men rising to the
higher positions under the War Office.
He went on to give illustrations:

These things 90 to prove, concluded
Lord Derby, that there is no ring"
and that merit comes to the front.

LUKE FLOOD, STILL
UNCONSCIOUS,
SPOKE A WORD
This Morning

While still unconscious, Luke Flood
spoke two words this morning at 6
o'clock, when, in response to the in
quiry of his nurse, would you like
some orange juice, Luke?" he said:
Yes, man," Hardly believing her
ears. the nurse called in the other
nurse in attendance at his bedside
and repeated the question, and he re-
piied in the same words. This is very
encouraging, and indicates that the
turn for the better was taken this
morning, just one week from the day
the lad was injured. His sleep is now
more natural, and, though still in a
very critical condition, the crisis is
believed to have been passed, and for
the better, which is cause for wide
rejoicing among the people of the
entire community. narp

CON MEN Got
$4,000 FROM
RECENT MICHIGAN
VISITOR TO LAKELAND

Inat Lakeland mas received some
undesirable advertising because of
the recent band of con men operating
in this city, but who pulled their
freight last Friday, is indicated by
the following which appeared on the
front page of Sundays Chicago
Tribune:
II will be hardly worth while here
after to mention the stock market to
Harry G. Hammill, a banker of north
ern Michigan. He will be uninterest-
ed just $4,000 worth.
Mr.. Hammill went to winter in
Lakeland, Fla, where he met quite
informally, one c. G. Cole, who de-
scribed himself as a lumberman Of
Marquette, Mich. Then they met one
]. g. Dale, who seemed to possess
most astonishing gift of investing 81
in the stock market and returning
with SO.
Meet $4,000 Winner
Mr. Cole copiously advised Mr..
i!ammill that Mr.. Dale knew the
stock market inside out; and just as
luck would have it they presently
met one F. c. Stewart, who was fe-
licitating himself on the winning of
$50 900. Stewart invited Cole and
Hammill to accompany him and be
happy as he cashed his ticket.
They entered an Office completely
equipped with chart, ticker, cashier
wicket, safe, and all. Stewart was
handed $4,000 in wonderful money,
which seemed very nice indeed. They
went for walk and by most sin
gular coincidence met Dale again.
Dale had just received great inside
advices to invest in General Motors
Merrily Dale, Cole, and Hammill in
vested $4,000 each and repaired to
the brokers' office. General Motors
went up and they won!
Asks for Real Cash
But slow. Cole and Dale had wa.
gered real money, so they were pait
in kind. Unfortunately Mr.. Hammil
had used a check. The manager of thu
Office was sorry-exquisitely grievet
but he feared to accept the checl
until Mr.. Hammill could produce
cash to make it good
Easy enough. Mr.. Hammill wiret
home and received $4,000 in cash
He hurried to the brokers' only t,
