Florida in War Time

Sixty-one ships of more than
one hundred thousand tonnage
are being constructed in Florida
ports. A dozen or more large
cargo vessels have already been
launched.
Five large camps in Florida are
training aviators for active SER
vice against the Huns.
More than 10000 Florida men
are now wearing the government
khaki, and several thousand of
them are already in France.
In Pensacola and Key West
Florida has two important naval
training stations.
In Camp Johnston, near Jack
sonville, Florida has the largest
quartermaster camp in the coun-
try. Don't fall into the common
terror of belittling this branch of
the service. It is of vital impor-
tance IN the winning of the war
and calls for brains and ability of
the highest order.
There are nine or more garri-
soned forts defending the Florida
coast at strategic points in addi-
ton to the naval aerial service.
The seventh oreataSt mont in +ha
country, from a revenue produc
ing standpoint, is in Florida
Tampa.
Florida has organized for home
defence a force many times larger
than the former state militia was
two years ago.
Florida may be only on the edge
of the griddle, but it is just as hot
as the rest of the pan.-Plant City

| is. under this system of salvage
and repair, being prolonged to a
service of twice its former period
of duration. In other words, one
thing now does what two things
used to do. The price of every
thing has advanced and many ar
ticles are very hard to obtain, and
many millions Of dollars have
been saved in a very short time.
Under the management of this
division the garbage Of the camp
has been sold by contract to a To-
cal concern. Paper, collected a.
bout the camp, is sold in train
loads. Some of it brings $35 per
ton and much more. Even the.
tin cans are disposed of, as are the
sacks in which supplies are first
shipped to Camp Johnston.
The division at Camp Johnston
has demonstrated itself to be big
money maker and this money has
been made out of the proper hand
ling of trash. Such a salvage sys-
TEN was at first established in con-
nection with certain Of the allied
armies. In some instances 40 per
cent of the war cost was reclaim
ed. However, the salvage of ar
ticles reclaimed from battlefields
played an important part in swell
ing the proportions of the re-
clamatiOn. Times Union.

MILLIONS BEING SAVED
BY Wise Methods in Army and
Training Camps

From lengthy article in the
Times Union on vernmen t
methods of conservation, the fol-
lowing interesting and instructive
extracts are taken:
The price of leather has increas-
ed enormously. By carefully re-
pairing the shoes of the soldiers
when they begin to wear and by
residing them and patching them
when they are discarded as being
worn out it is estimated that $15,-
100000 is saved to the govern
ment by thus salvaging two shoes
from the feet of every soldier with
the American expeditionary force
in France. Shoes now cost the
government $3.50 per pair. If the
length of service of a pair of shoes
is prolonged twice it's former time
of service because they are kept
fin order, and there are two mil
FlrOn men in France, the enormous
saving of money on shoes alone is
splainly seen.
This is only one phase of the re-
tclamation work. The time Of ser

bedding, tools and other articles

sons are missing from the torpe-
doed transport Warlida sunk in
the English Channel, Saturday,
by a German submarine. Among
them are one American soldier
and several women nurses. Most
of the $50 survivors were sick and
wounded soldiers.
On the North Atlantic coast the
enemy submarines have sunk an
other tanker, the Luz Blanca.
Total casualties suffered by the
Americans since the great, victo-
rious Allied advance started, are
given as 1918, which, added to
those incurred since the Amer1-
cans first landed in France, brings
the grand total up to 16,409. This
includes killed, wounded and
and those who died oil
disease, wounds or by accident.

Beautiful Peace River

1t is a sin and shame, the con-
dition Peace river was left in by
the phosphate companies. If this
stream was cleaned out and made
navigable for boats of light draft,
it would soon be one of the pleas
ure spots of all Florida. The
scenery from here to the Char
lotte Harbor bay is beautiful be-
yond description, and the fishing
below Ft. Ogden is good all the
year round. The water is so pol
luted by the sludge from the phos-
phate mines in Polk county that
no self-reSpecting fish can stand
1t, and the river bed is so full of
rock piles and sand bars left by
the mining operations that moth
ing that draws over six inches of
voter can navigate from Arcadia
down. The hunting and fishing,
coupled with the ravishing tropi-
cal scenery along the stream,
would be the means of bringing
hundreds of tourists here every
winter if the river was put back
IN shape to use. If the water was
allowed to purify again, Arcadia
could have the finest fishing, hath

No, not that;
He'd glory in that
To lis mad brain twould merely
That the world, trembling, held him, Great Him, in
William the Damned-he'd like it,
Damn hint would make him smile
Williams the Fool7-an apt name.
Think what he was, and had and might have been:
The worlds respect riches, power, a just fame
All growing year by year;
A great and happy people who believed, no less
Than that he akin to God;
and shining goal awaiting his reisns end
With swne's greed he trampled all that
Into a boody mre,
And tried to sulp the world-the fool!

mind when the time came for an answer to the
note Of the Imperial Chancellor asking for an
armistice. There has been waste OF
much breath in the famboyant criticisms Of
Theodore Roosevelt and the half-veilcd opinions
Of eX-President Taft. Both Of these former
Presidents were inclined to the opinion thas
President Wilson had put his foot in it, and had
been caught by Hun diplomacy. Now, perhaps,
the light will begin to break upon such as these.
II President Wilson in his reply, which is pub
lishcd this morning, does not demand 'uncond-
tonal surrender we have lost the meaning OF
the words. And if Germany entertained the
slightest idea that tho President of the United
States would instantly proceed to arrange the
terms Of an armistce upon Germany's agreement
to cvacuate invaded territory, such illusions have
been rudely dspeled by the cutting, incisive
sentences Of document which must become
historic"
"The Philadelphia Enquirer says the same
thing in bricfer form "It is true that in his
reply to Germany the President does not use
the words unconditional surrender,' but
that is the plain intent of his message
There will be no cessation Of hostlities until
Germany throws up her hands of her own
accord or Is forced to do so at the point Of
the bayonet. For yield she must, and ou-
terms are unconditional surrender. Nothing
less" "The Public Ledger Of Philadelphia,
thus interprets the Presidential reply:
"Here is the demand for unconditional sur
render which will hearten all the Allied peoples
and arouse them to a fresh determination to
crush forever the intolerable thing that
plunged the world into disaster almost beyond
imagination. The men who brought on the war
cannot sign the terms Of peace. They must be
cast down from the high places they have dis
graced. And it is for the German people to
cast them down.
"The Indianapolis News" says:
"The note means that there shall be no peace
without victory, and peace with Hohenzol-
lcrnsm, the military masters Of Germany
The President speaks for the whole country, and
government understanding least it is -
be hoped that it does-what America means.
There will BE- conference to arrange an armis-
tice. If arnstco is desired the German gov
ernnsnt must apply to Marshal Foch who will
make the terms, and they viii be the terms Of
victor. Also he will be free to refuse to grant
armistice any terms. The war will 20 on,
men will continue to move across the ocean at
the rate of 25o,ooo month, and the Liberty Loan
will be subscribed. The Presidents reply will
cheer armies and those Of our friends, and
the people to full sense of their respon-
sibility. 1t is in every way admirable"
New-York tribune., 1918-10-20

direct, vigorous and
sweeping refusal OF the
German peace overture
is the answer which
most people expected to
the original German
note, and which they
now heartily approve.
1t is not weakened OF
affected in any way by
the interlocutory ques-
tons of President Will
son and the answers
thereto, contained in the
notes of October s and
October 12."
"The Asheville IN.
CO. Citizen" writes in
this fashion:
"The ringing reply
made by President Will
son to the German peace

lowing his preliminary

posed by ourselves, not the terms Of Germany
Newspaper comment, both before the an
swer from Washington and Immediately fol-
lowing, disclosed widespread uncertainty as
10 the meaning of the Presidents attitude.
BY some observers the Presidents diplomacy
has been called into doubt; by others it is
confirmed as coincident with the feeling OF
he country at large and successful as such
n expressing it.
The discussion has probably been ripest in
New York "The New York Globe finds
that "the President conspicuously avoids the
use of the words unconditional surrender
but his declaration is equivalent to an affrma-
lion of them. The armistice, if one is de-
clared, will be on terms laid down by the
Allies, and this is equivalent to saying that
the peace, when written, will be no COM
promise one AT last there is common dip
iomatic 'front.'
'The New York Herald also agrees with
this, although with some reservation:
IF October President Wilson had sent to
the German government the note he sent to that
government yesterday the people of the United
States and of the countries fighting with our
own the battles of liberty and civilization would
have been spared many doubts and heartburn
ings, the Presidents prestige as leader of Amer
lean thought would have suffered no dimnution,
The Presidents position spokesman for the
forces of civilization would have been incontest-

dents questioning of the German Imperial Chan

out of occupied territory.
The terms Of evacuation
may be left to Marshal
Foch. That is purely q
military problem. Di-
plomacy must wait upon
that solution. President
Wilson has already said
that ne would not feel at
liberty to suggest an
armistice to the govern
ments associated with us
80 long as the armies OF
the Central Powers are or
their soil. The good faith
Of any discussion must be
measured by Germany's
actual acceptance of that
6tipulation.'

newspapers, "The Mont
gomery Advertiser" be-
trays some impotence
with the diplomatic in
terchange, declaring:
