, the people who had come to bid their
yboys goodbye There was in the neigh
borhood of a thousand people present,
many of them coming from the coun-

There was not much emotion shown.
but that was the result of firm re-

boys see smiling faces as they took
their last glance at home.
The contingent numbered twelve
men, Frank Harris Jr., who by virtue
of his service in the training camp
last autumn was the senior in mill

OUR DELEGATION AIDS
THE AGRICULTURISTS

Truck growers and marketing con-
Germs of Florida owe a bigger debt
of gratitude to the entire Florida del
egation in congress than they can ap-
preciate at such a distance. In Sc
curing from the transportation au-
thorities promises of improved facili-
ties and greater expedition in getting
the fruits and vegetables grown in
Florida to marked before they are
spoiled through delays between icing
stations, the Florida delegation in
congress, both members of the senate
and of the house have won out by per-
sistent effort. The writer has been in
close touch with the situation for q
number of months. He has known ev-
cry time that a Florida senator Oh
congressman went to the office of the
food or railroad administration and
he knows how they kept right on in
sisting upon better service when the
railroad administration could not see
how it was going to- give any better
service.
Every one of the two senator's, Dun.
can u. Fletcher and Park Trammell;
and the four members of the house,
Herbert J. Drane, of Lakeland; Frank
Clark of Gainesville; Walter Kehoe
of Pensacola and William J. Sears of
Kissimmee, have worked earnestly in
the interests of the growers and mar
keting associations.

GREAT GERMAN GUNS

Paris, April 1.-The bombardment
of Paris by long range German guns
was resumed at 2:15 p. m. today.
The churches yesterday were even
more crowded than is usual on Easter
Sunday.
No unexploded shell from a gun
bombarding Paris has thus far been
found. However, there have been ex-
amined in the municipal laboratory
fragments of sufficient size to permit
the directors to reach certain conclu-
sions. They have found that a double
fuse is used and that the guns are $50
milimeters (9A inch) shells. Appar,
emily four guns are being used, two
o neach alternate day. The tubes of
the guns, which are rife guns, are
more than sixty feet long. The in
stallation and adjustment of the guns
must require at least three months.
Doubtless they are concealed under
mountains of cement, rendering it
most difficult to- locate and destroy
them.
Lieutenant General Won Rohne, a
German authority or ordnance and in
spector of artillery, gives in maga-
zine of which he is editor additional
details in regard to the long distance
German guns with which Paris is be-
ing bombarded. He says they are 20
meters (65h feet). long. The empty
shell weighs $50 Kilograms $3.50
pounds). The charge weighs the same.
The projectile attains a height of 80
kilometers (18.6 miles, and descends
from the sky like meteor on it's tar
get.
General Won Rohne says it requires
about three minutes for the shell to
reach its destination. The greatest
difficulty in the way Of increasing the
range was overcome by sending the
projectile high enough to reach the
rarifed air.
1t appears the Germans are ex-
tremely proud of the bombardment of
Paris.

SENATOR TRAMMEL'S
STAND ON SUFFRAGE

Washington March 31.-Upon be-
ing asked for brief statement as to
why he proposed to vote against the
National Suffrage Amendment, Sena-
tor Park Trammell today made the
following statement. He said:
at is my opinion that the state gov
ernment and not the United States
government should prescribe the
qualifications of those who exercise
the right of the ballot; and that the
state government and not the Federal
government should control and regu.
late elections.
"The National Woman's Suffrage
Amendment takes from the states the
right to prescribe who shall be enti-
tied to exercise the right of the bal
lot. 1t also vests in the national gov
ernment the authority to enact zap,
propriate legislation to enforce the
provisions of this proposed amend
ment to the United States constitu-
tion
SIN it's effect the proposed amend
ment in its grant of authority to en-
force its provisions gives congress
power to enact laws for the regula-
tion and control of our elections.
Whether this authority would be ex-
ercised or not, it is nevertheless grant
ed and may be taken advantage of
very much against the best interests
of Florida.
''In our state at present our cleo
tions are participated in almost ex-
elusive by our white men, and the ne
gro is not factor in the selection of
our public officials. / am opposed to
any proposition which would possibly
invite greater and more extensive par
ticipation in our elections on the part
of the negro population. l am also
opposed to any policy which may in
vite and probably stimulate citizens
of other states who do not understand
and appreciate our race problem in
making an effort to bring the negroes
of Florida into politics.
"Under the proposed Federal Suf-
frage amendment the negro women
would be given the right to vote the
same as the white women, and under
the amendment congress is authorized
to pass laws to protect them in the en-
joyment of this right.
eff majority of white women in
Florida desire the privilege of suf-
frage, it is my opinion that this pre-
rogrative should be procured by an
amendment to the state constitution
and | believe the men of the state
would vote to give them this privilege
if it should be apparent that they de-
sired it.
"An amendment to the state consti-
tuition would still retain in the STATE
the control over the electorate.
"With the conditions prevailing as
they do in Florida, | am decidedly OF
the opinion that if our state is tc
adopt policy of giving the women
the right of suffrage it can be effect.
ed just as readily. in fact more expe,
ditiously perhaps by amending the
] state constitution, and in so doing the
people of Florida who are familiar
with the local conditions would have
the privilege of wording the provis,
ions with proper safe guards"
