The Tarpon Springs Leader says:
The Leader learns on pretty good
Authority that the prospects are about
three to one that the United States
government would take over South
ern College with all its connecting
buildings for a convalescent camp for
wounded soldiers.
The report Of the government in
spectors who have looked over the en-
tire west coast, is, according to our
informant, now before the national
government at Washington, and the
inspectors have eliminated every 9TH
er place and endorsed the Sutherland
location on account of its meeting all
the requirements and having the
buildings all ready for occupancy.
This would be magnificent loca-
tion for such a camp and the college
buildings would furnish accommoda
lions for a great number of men. In
fact. It is an ideal place and is just
what the government would build /,
it had the time and labor to spare
for that purpose at the presen. time
But not having either the time nor
labor to spare from other war work
the likelihood of it's taking and using
the college buildings is greatly in,
creased.
The big college buildings at Suth,
erland with the large boys dormitory
and the older boys dormitory and the
lathletic building, will house many
hundreds Of men, and then there is
Ia chapel which could be used for ser,
vices and amusements and which
seats about four hundred people
while the gymnasium is ideal fol-
healthful exercises for the GONZALES
cents.

INDIAN FIGHTING METHODS USED

Although it has been decided that
Indians living on government reser-
vations may enter the United States
amy and although some of them
have already entered the service,
there will be no separate organiza-
lions for the Red Men. No efforts
will be made by the government to
recruit Indian companies or regi-
ments, but the Indian soldier will be
subjected to the same tests of physical
fitness as his white brothers and to
the same military training
! If he fights at all it will be in the
white mans way, with no effort made
to find niche for which Indian ira
ditions may seem to fit him.
1t is a curious fact, however, that
except for the weapons employed, the
style of warfare now in vogue on the
battlefields of Europe is the out
growth Of early experience in fight
ing the Indians in this country.
The defeat of General Braddock or
the Monongahela more than a century
and a half ago did much to revolu.
tionize military tactics and to popu.
larize bullet-proof shelter for fighting
men.
1t was the military genius OF Gen
eral Washington which led him t.
adapt his method of fighting to tina
of his antagonists
The Indians were brave enough
and ready to sacrifice their lives wher
necessary, but they could not be mad,
to comprehend the philosophy o
standing up in front of bullet whel
there might be tree nearby to hid
behind for protection.
Now, with all their trenches an
their bomb-proof dugouts, and partic
ularly with their camouflages tn
armies in Europe are adjusting tn
Indian idea to the circumstances an
demands of today.-Clearwate Sun.

Democratic Congressional Leader for
Suffrage

Representative Scott Ferris Of Ok
lah 1ma, the newly elected chairman OF
the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign committee, is staunch sup
Iorter of the Federal Suffrage
amendment
Il am in favor of giving suffrage to
women ungrudgingly," said Represen-
tative Ferris, speaking in the House
in favor of the Federal amendment.
Is"st, because | believe it is right;
second, because | can find no sound
or satisfying argument, logic, or rea-
son, that will justify course in op-
position to it; third, in substance, in
truth, and in fact, the four great po-
llt;cal platforms of the last election
promised equal suffrage to woman as
to inen."
President Wilson Aids Texas Women
All signs point to the winning Of
primary suffrage by the women O
Texas. The House Suffrage commit
tee OF the Texas legislature on Marcel
IL reported favorably on bill which
would permit women to vote in pri
mary elections and participate il
nominating conventions.
President Wilson favors the exten
sion of the franchise to the women O
the Lone Star State, according to ,
letter which the Texas Equal Suffrag
Association received from him an,
which was read Wednesday before tn
Texas Senate. The President wrote
The Democratic party is SO closet
committed to the principle of Won
ans suffrage that l feel it nv dut
as the leader of the party to urg
this action by the legislature. And
Is also privilege which value +
, yield to my own personal conviction
and urge such action on its merits
sincerely hope the measure will ba
come law"
