Florida has four aviation fields
two at Arcadia, one at Fort Myers
and one at Miami. There may be
more located in the state this winter,
and Ocala should try for one. The
principal qualification for an aviation
camp is landing field, and this is the
reason why so many of them are To-
Gated in Texas and Oklahoma, where
there is so much open prairie. There
are places in the vicinity of Ocala
where there are miles of open field

There is no foundation for the fear
that the war will Prussianize our peo-
pie. The soldiers who win the war
will be citizens and voters when they
come home, and it is safe bet they
will do more in the interests of peace
and good government than the tribe
of politicians that had been running
the country previous to the war.

two body blows. They will emphasize

AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPA-
T1ON. Nov. 26 (By The Associated
Press).-Bad feeling has developed be-
tween the Prussians and Bavarians in
the German army withdrawing before
the American army of occupation. Re-
sponsibility for the loss of the war is
one OF the chief causes of dissension,
according to reports.
The trouble is said to have reached
such a stage that vne Bavarians and
Prussians refuse to divide their ra-
tlons with each other or to share bill
lets.
The Prussan officers continue to
contend that they are returning home
with the hope of being able eventually
to bring about the reinstatement of
the former Emperor to power.
The soldiers of a German division,
according to reports reaching the
Americans. said they favored a mon
archy. The ex-Emperor continues to
be popular idol according to their
views The men said they believed
William Hohenzollcrn eventually would
be. returned to the throne when the
soldiers reached home. and their infiu-
ence was felt throughout the country.
Beyond Treves, the withdrawing Ger
man troops are being received with
open arms by the civilians in the viii
lagos This is reported by British SOL
diers reaching the American lines.
Everywhere, the Britishers said, the
civilians had strung signs of welcome
over the village streets and were re-
celvlng the German soldiers as heroes.

Division had reached its embarkation
port on the other side with a full
strength of sixty-one officers and 900
men. 1t went over filled substantially
to full strength of 27,O00 men.
The 18th is the National Army Divi-
sion trained at Camp Devens, Mass. 1t
was composed of selective service men
from part of New York State New
Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
From the time of is arrival in France,
however, it has been a depot division,
from which replacement drafts for
regiments at the front were drawn and
which was in turn filled up by draft
of casuals from this side, sent over on
regular monthly schedule.
The report from France shows that
not only have 26 900 of the $4,000 men
of the original 18th been scattered in
the fighting army, but that probably
large number of additional men passed
through it's ranks in the same way.
The division itself was never in action

LONDON, Nov. Decentralization of
official reports from the Bavarian Min

ment confirm evidence already in the
hands OF the Entente that Germany
and Austria conspired to bring about
the war. 1t was for this reason that
the terms of Austria's ultimatum to
Serbia were made so drastic that hos
tilities were bound to follow.
These revelations have been pub
! lished in Munich after permission of
the German Federal Government had
been asked by the Bavarian Premier
and Foreign Minister. They are in the
form Of report sent to Munich, July
19. 1914, by Count Won Lerchenfeld,
the Bavarian Minister at Berlin.
Tried to Trap Allies
According to the report, the delivery
of the ultimatum to Serbia was de-
layed until after President Poincar6
and Premier Viviani of France had
gone to st. Petersburg. which would
make it difficult for the Entente ma
tions to arrive at an understanding
and take counter measures.
Count Won Lerchenfed said that
Serbia obviously cannot accept such
conditions as will be laid down. and
that as a consequence there must be
war" He declared that action on the
part of Austria could not be long de
layed, "for thai might give Serbia,
under pressure from France and Rus
sia. an opportunity to offer satisfac-
tion."
In telegram to Munich from Ber-
lin. July 81. 1914, Count Won Lerchen-
field said that Sir Edward Grey's eff
forts to preserve peace would "cer-
tainly not succeed in arresting the
course Of events" The same day he
wired information as to ultimatums to
Russia and France. forecast their
rejection by both nations and told of
plans to hurl Germany's armies against
France. which he said would be "over.
whelmed in four weeks" He said that
the morale of the French army was
poor and that it was poorly armed.
Belgian Raid Planned
On August the Bavarian Minister
outlined Germany's intention to violate
Belgian neutrality. saying: "The chief
of the General Staff has declared that
even British neutrality will be paid
for too dearly IL the price is respect
OF Belgium. An attack ON France is
possible only through Belgium"
Revelations that may convince the
German people that the Central Pow
ers were aggressors in the world war
are important only because Of persist
ent pretence by the Kaiser and his
chief officials that Germany acted upon
the defensive throughout. The consti-
tuition Of the Bismarckian empire en-
powdered the German Emperor to de-
clare war for the countrys defence,
but not otherwise.

Austrian Treatment
Of Italy's Prisoners
Brings Formal Protest
British and Russians, Ill-Clad

From War Camps

ROME, Nov. 21.-Austria- Hungary is
violating the armistice by releasing
Italian prisoners without food and
poorly clothed, says an official note is
sued through the Stefani Agency. The
Italians also are being set free all at
once. instead of in successive sections.
"The enemy's last attempt to trouble
the natural development of our opera
tions and exasperate the population of
the liberated regions has succeeded
only in prolonging the sufferings of the
prisoners without shaking their faith in
their country" the note says.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Many shocking
stories of their treatment are told by
British prisoners who have reached
England from Germany. Unfortunate
Britishers who arrived at Friederichs-
felde, Prussia, after hostilities ceased
had a hard time They had been taken
prisoner shortly before or during the
British advsnce; and were compelled to
work behind the lines, being driven
from place to place "like something

282 came into Friederchs hsfelde. From
twenty to thirty daily went INTO hos
pital and fifty died during the first
ueck in camp. Several of the men said
that they caught snails and ate them
while on the march.
1t was admitted by the German doc
tors, current advices state. that large
proportion of the 800 British prisoners
at camp at Lasquin (Laeken y, nine
miles from Brussels, died from starva-
tlon or exposure.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 26.-The condi-
ton of Russian prisoners of war ar
irving in Russia from Germany is pitt

the greater part of them are suffering
from dysentery or consumption.

Tribune WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-There are
various ways recognized by interna-
tional law by which the Allied Powers
may obtain possession Of the person
Of the former German Emperor, the
former Crown Prince and any other
Germans. The request made by Pre-
mier Clemenceau of France for ALI ex-
traditing the former Emperor is the
only official intimation that William
Hohenzollern may be tried before a
world court for his crimes.
Authorities in Washington declare
that there is precedent for a demand
for the extradition from Holland of
the ex-Kaiser; there is precedent also
for refusal by Holland to deliver up
to his enemies political refugee, if
the. former Emperor may be called
such. Finally, there is precedent for
which might be put into force against
Holland to persuade that nation to
yield up the fallen ruler.
The Allies might demand the person
OF William as hostage; but if it had
been intended to take hostages. they
would have been required under the
terms of armistce.
Sovereigns May Be Deposed
The presumption arises, therefore,
that II the extradition of the former
Kaiser is desired it is to punish him
According to the practice of nations,
sovereigns may be deposed by foreign
powers as the consequence of their
misdeeds committed to the prejudice
OF civilization. The most recent exam

Powers of King Constantine of Greece,
who had failed to observe Greeces
treaty obligations and who secretly
served Germany.
One high authority on international
law referred to-day to the greatest
French authority on the law of ma
tions, Vattel, the first notable codifier
of the rights and duties of nations,
who wrote before the French Revolu-
tion, and who, in his chapter on "Un-
just War;" covers the case of Emperor
William as though "Vattel were con-
temporary judge" He says:
"Whoever takes arms with
out lawful cause can absolutely have
no kind of right; all the hostilities he
commits are unjust.
Chargeable With Wars Evils
"He is chargeable with all the evils.
all the horrors Of the war. All the
effusion of blood, the desolation of
