show that unrestricted E-@oat war-
fare would compel Great Britain 10
sue for peace within six month The
wording OF the memorandum iGdj-
Gates that the admiralty already had
decided 10 adopt this intensified war
fare, but desired 10 convince the en-
reror, the imperial chancellor and the
foreign Offices OF the certainty Of the
good results on economic and general
grounds rather than on military
grounds.
Arguments on Foods.
Accordingly the memorandum bases
its arguments on statistics Of food
prices, freight and insurance rates in
Great Britain. 1t pointed out the ef-
fects which even the restricted sub.
marine war had shown on prices OF
the essential commodities, on the
balance OF trade and On the morale Of
the English people, and deducted from
this that with unrestricted submarine
warfare England could hold out only
a short period against these factors.
The memorandum was submitted to
DIR. Won Bethmann -Hoi!weg, the i'm
rerial chancellor, and then TO Or. Karl
Helfferich, vice chancellor The latter
rejected it Oh the ground that it was
impossible to set limit on England's
staying power ana the absence of all
thentic estimates of her stocks on
hand, and also because he feared the
action which would result from neu-
trails, especially the United States.
Arguments Resumed
The authors Of the m emOrandum
then sent a reply in which they point
ed out the gravity of the internal sit
uation in Germany and assured DR..
Helfferich that a desperate remedy
was necessary. They reinforced their
argument as to the seriousness of
Inc internal state or affairs by calling
in nine experts, representing German
finance, commerce, mining and agri-
culture. se f
These experts were Waldemar Null
Ter, president Of the Dresden bank;
DR.. Solomonsohn, dictor of the Dis
count Gesellschaft; paul Reusch, the
Prussian councillor of commerce DR..

magnate; Max Schinkel, president OF

TO BE BEwHIsKERED OR NOT
OR NOT TO BE, is QUESTION

Amsterdam, May Ito be clean
shaver or bearded like a pard is the
alternative presented to the Greman
first line troops. The reason is to be
sought in the gas mask. Some au-
thorities hold that the mask cannot
be relied upon to protect any but clean
shaven faces; others again hold that
desne hirsute growth within the mask
acts as an additional air filter. But
it must be a real patriarchal beard
no mere seven or fourteen days bris-
ties, says an article in the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung.
The writer holds that the full beard
is a peculiarly Teutonics attribute and
should be cultivated as such. Besides
according to ancient tradition, it adds
to the "frightful aspect" he naively
adds.
Gas tests at the front in alright
crucibles, are carried out every fort
night, and full bearded men testify to
the additional security by their boards.

1,o25 LOCOMOTIVES
IN A SINGLE ORDER


Greatest Contract of Its Kind in His
tory of American Railroading.
Washington, May Contracts for
1,025 freight and passenger locomo-
tives, the largest single order ever
placed in the history Of American rail-
ways, were let today by the railroad
administration to the American Loco
motive company and the Baldwin Lo-
comotive works.
The entire order represents a cost
of about s60,OOO,OOO or an average
price of a little less than $60, 900 for
each locomotive. The profit to manu-
facturers who will divide the work
about equally, will be between S and
6 per cent, less than half the rate Of
profits represented in the original
bids.
Six newly developed standard types
Of engines, with heavy and light sizes
of each type, were ordered. Deliveries
will begin in July.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Smith, who have
pleasant winter home here, which
they have occupied for many years
past, started this morning for their
northern home at Mason, Mich, where
they will remain all summer. Their
plans are to return in the fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Hornbacker, who
spent the winter here at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs w. E. Little, left last
night for their home in Scranton, Pa.
They will stop week in Jacksonville,
Charleston and Washington, arriving
home about the last of the month. We
trust they will decide to visit Tarpon
again next season.
Mr.. J. D. Smith brought a fine
bunch of carrots by the Leader office
this morning which he said he "Got
from Mr.. ]. R. Shaw's patriotic gor-
den which is by his sons grocery
store" They surely were fine roots
and we have noticed that Mr.. Shaw's
garden is fine every way, just like he
and his sons. The old gentleman
knows how to raise both gardens and
boys just as they should be raised.
The West Coast National Farm Loan
association, with headquarters at Tar
pom Springs, has just been granted
its charter and has been reorganized
with G. E. Noblit president and A. M.

properties, and we expect to see ex-
tensive work done here now in this
line.
Little Miss Melissa Vinson passed
by The Leader office this morning with
very beautiful bouquet of yellow
flowers and ferns which were as sweet
and bright as her happy little face

them to Peter, and whichever Peter
this is, we feel sure that he will be
proud indeed to be the recipient of

BORGLUM is ACCUSED
DOCUMENTS BARE ALLEGED AT
TEMPTED AIRPLANE DEAL.
Sculptor Charged With criticizing u.
s. Board to Help His Own
Firm.

Washington, May 13.-Documents
made available from the official files
of the government show Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, whose charges
against the aircraft program have led
to the impending inquiry, as having
been connected with negotiations for
the establishment of a new aircraft
producing corporation, in which he was
to be silent partner.
Negotiations between Borglum, Hugo
Gibson, connected with the British war
mission in the United States, and Ken
yOn Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing
company of Wisconsin, began last De-
cember, the documents show. A state
ment by Mix, included in the docu-
ments, tells how he withdrew after be-
coming suspicious of Borglum's activi-
ties and reported the affair to Howard
Coffin, then head of the aircraft pro-
duction board.
The documents which have been sup
piled from the official files of the war
department and are now in the hands
of senators most intimately connected
with the aircraft investigation, declare
that Borglum continued his negotia-
lions after President Wilson authorized
him to make an inquiry into the air.
