If Germany delays too long
her acceptance of the terms, the

capitulation - on the field of

Germany's situation, both

LEESBURG CABBAGE READY
IN HEAVIER QUANTITIES
New York Packer.)

Leesburg, Fla, March 11.-Cabbaga
will begin rolling on heavy carlot
basis Monday of next week. Already
the |. C. |. movement has been quite
heavy and while the carlot movement
haa been several cars weekly, the big
movement is just ready to start with
from ten to fifteen cars a day, unless
dry weather cuts the crop short.
F. G. w. Kramer, sales manager of
the Leesburg Truckers Association,
said this week that a large percent
age Of the Associations crop was un-
der Irrigation and Of course the
drought that is cutting the cabbage
crop short in other sections will not
materially injure the associations.
All cabbage moved by the Association
will be packed in standard crates and
loaded in F. G. e. cars, running about
$50 crates to the car.

Mr.. Lizotte and others, who hastened
out to make a vain effort to confine
the fire to the outhouses. Failing in
this, and with the flames spreading
to the rear of the hotel, Mr.. Lizotte
and others returned to the hotel to
finish awakening the sixty-fve guests,

coming excited leaped to the ground,
while two negroes who went up with
him to get trunk returned down the
stairs safely. He broke both legs
and may be injured internally.
No one ventures an opinion as to
the origin of the fire, which but for
the valiant efforts of the volunteer
fire department might have swept the
business section of the island. Ben
Weldon, one of the fire-fighters, was
burned slightly about the face, but no
others of the department were hurt.
Fortunately, there was practically no
wind and with the elements favorable

and other structures that were en-
dangered.
The Lizotte hotel is a massive
three-story frame structure and, ac-
cording to people from st. Peters,
burg, who f!ocked here on boats, the
glare could be seen in that city.
While the guests Of the hotel saved
most of their belongings, while the
flames we're eating their way to the
main portion of the hotel, the negro
help of the big hostelry, whose quar-.
ters are over the kitchen and dining
room, which were in flames almost
as soon as the alarm was spread, lost
all their effects, many of them saving
only the scantiest of attire in which
they fled from the building at the frs
cry. A meeting was held in the
church this morning and John Wana
maker headed the subscription list
for their relief with $780, About $2O(

FLORIDA SHIPPERS KICK
ON SLOW TRANSPORTATION
New York Packer.)

Leesburg, Fla, March 11.-Decisive
action is necessary to correct an ex-
listing evil in the railway freight
transportation service.
Refrigerated cars of cabbage, leav-
ing Leesburg under full bunkers Of
ice are taking ten to fourteen days to
reach destination. Shippers have al
ready had many cars arrive in bad
condition, owing to delay in trans
portation between icing stations.
F. c. w. Kramer, sales manager of
the Leesburg Truckers Association,
in an interview with The Packer man,
said:
"The situation is bad, and it must
be remedied Immediately, or growers
stand to lose all profits by the negli.
gence of one railroad line over which
IA car passes. The fact that car ar
rives at destination with bunkers full
is no evidence of the car having been
under ice since leaving our packing
house. For example," continued Mr..
Kramer, "a car leaves here over the
Atlantic Coast Line 1t is passed to
the G. S. & F., then to the Central
OF Georgia and so on until it reaches
delivery point. But the car Is II days
getting there. Where has it been9
Where was the delay made? There
should be immediate action taken to
compel all railroads to wire passing
record back to the shipper so that he
r1ay know where his car is at any
hour of the day, and any day of tho
time taken.
"The Armour car line has its icing
stations located so that car moving
at normal rate can be amply sup
pied with ice at regular intervals OF
time. But If car should be delayed
for four days on siding some place,
the ice would all melt, car become
heated, and cabbage deteriorate. Tho
car could be iced at the next icing
station, but it Is then too late. A car
can arrive at destination with bunk
ers full of ice with the car contents
absolutely rotten"
