the declaration is voiced that the

treaty with Russia is called polit-
ical crime, in the statement issued
by the council, and Germany's at

declared to be tantamount to an

Germany is described as de-

were: A. P. Jordan, editor of the
Punta Gorda Herald; George
Goolsby, editor Of the Wauchula
Advocate; Editor Hancock, of the
Zolfo Truth; Andrew Carter, edi-
tor of the Arcadia Enterprise; f.
R. Jones, editor of the Arcadia
News, and L. j. Weaver, business
manager of the Arcadia News.
The morning was spent in trans
acting the business of the associa-
ton, and the gentlemen were the
guests of Editor Carter, of the Ar
cadia Enterprise, for the noon
lunch.
In the afternoon they all drove
out to Camp Carlstrom, this being
the first time the visitors had been
out to this interesting city which
has sprung up with such marvel
Gus rapidity. They were permit
ted to look upon the first flying
machines that have arrived and
were told that probably one or
more of the machines would be
seen flying over "big prairie" to-
day.
On the return trip the gentle
men drove by the muck farm of
Editor Carter, located on Coon
Prairie, just two miles east of the
city, To the great surprise of
each of the party Mr.. Carter show
ed them some land as rich as that
at Moore Haven. Some of the
land was being ditched and it was
surprising to observe the depth of
this soil 1t was just as rich at a
depth of two feet as nearer the
surface, and how much deeper this
soil runs we had no means of
knowing. 1t is indeed rich
tract of land and there is not a
reason why as abundant crops can
not be grown from this soil as
from the much spoken of Moore
Haven lands.
Mr.. Carter is giving some of his
famous grass a trial here and it
looks well. If it develops, as he
hopes for it to do, he will in a
short while look towards making
a dairy farm of it. The amount of
feed that can be grown upon an a.
ere of this grass is estimated to be
at least fifteen to twenty-five tons,
and it is said that it's feed analy-
sis is nearly as good as corn.
Taken altogether the day was
most enjoyable one and each ex-
pressed himself as having& desire
that these meetings shall be held
as often as consistent with other
duties.

WILSON TO ATTEND
PEACE CONFERENCE
AMERICAN DELEGATION TO THE
VERSAILLES CONFERENCE.
Presence Of Chief Executive in France
Regarded as Necessary to obviate
Manifest Disadvantages of
Discussion by Cable.

Washington. - President Woodrow
Wilson win attend the opening ses-
sions Of the peace conference. This
was announced November IS. He win
go Immediately after the converting of
the regular session of congress on De
cernber 2.
This official statement was issued
Monday night at the White House.
The president expects TO sail for
France immediately after the opening
of the regular session of congress, for
the purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace. II is
not likely that it will be possible for
him To remain throughout the sessions
OF the formal peace conference, but his
presence at the outset is necessary in
order TO obviate the manifest disad-
vantages of discussion by cable in de-
terInining the greater outlines OF the
final treaty, about which he must
necessarily be consulted. He will, of
course, be accompanied by delegates
who viii SIT as the representatives of
the United States throughout the con-
ference
THE names of the delegates Will be
presently announced"
How long the president WI. remain
abroad he himself probably can not
say now. The time for the converting
of the peace conference has not yet
been announced. but the general belief
here is that it can not be assembled
before late in December at the earliest
If such proves the case. the president
Will be absent from the country for at
least a month and probably longer.
In visiting Europe the president VIII
establish two precedents. He will be
the first chief executive of the United
Statefs TO participate in a peace con-
ference for the settling of issues
growing out of a war in which this
country participated. and likewise he
will be the first president to leave
North America during his term Of Of
fee.
In reaching his decision to attend
the peace conference, President VIII
son is understood to have been largely
influenced by representations from

tries
