EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Issued by the Florida Equal Suff-
rage Association

Because the militant tactics of
the Woman s Party continually
cause misunderstanding of the
constructive policy of the Nation
al American Woman Suffrage As
sociation, of which the Florida
Equal Suffrage Association is a
branch, the Executive Board of
the Florida E. S. A. has issued the
following statement:
There is absolutely no affiliation
between these two organizations.
The Woman's Party believes in
working for the enfranchisement
of women only through the FEEDER
al Congress. It's policy is to hold
the majority party in Congress re-
sponsible for federal action on
woman suffrage, and to force it's
claims to recognition by militant
and other methods used against
the entire party when such recog-
milton is not given.
The National American Woman
Suffrage Association is working
for the suffrage by both state con-
stitutional and legislative action !;
and through the Federal Congress
as we'll.
1t is not partisan in policy but
expects that suffrage will be
granted to women by men of both
parties who believe in democracy
and justice. 1t does not hold the
party responsible, but holds the
individual absolutely so. 1t uses
only the peaceful method of edu-
eating public opinion, and Great
ing public sentiment which
proves more formidable to the
man who obstructs the establish
ing of a real democracy in the
United States than Militancy pos
sibly could.
1t is constructive in it's work,
standing for sincerity in govern
mental thought and action; and
for the safeguarding of home in
terests which is fundamental to
the life Of the state and nation.
The National Woman Suffrage
Association of which the Florida
E. S. A. is branch, has two mil
lion members with affiliated or
ganizations in every state in the
Union 1t is working for the bal
lot because the ballot is civiliza-
tion S recognized means, the most
effective. yet evolved, for protect
ing personal, home and business
interests; for eliminating the need
for resort to militancy in order
to obtain what is wanted by any
class.
This Association protests a.
ganst the use of Militant tactics
by suffrage organizations or in
dividuals, as being un-American
and unnecessary under our form
of government. No organization
practising such methods is con-
Inected with it.

ia home in the evenings, some OF
the women will regret that the
barrooms are clo"ed. .-Ocala Star.
$50 we continued from day to
day to sample the barrels. One
morning large malt-house rat
with five or six young attached to
the mamae, ran along the cellar
floor My aunt Immediately lost
all interest in the samples / was so
diligently tasting and leaped to
the top of the highest tier Of bar
rels where she stood in abject ter
ror with her skirts pulled tightly
about her ankles. The manager
proved to be a mercenary fellow
and refused to rescue auntie until
she had agreed to take the capital
stock, deal which pleased me
prodigiously."
Jack Nc, navigator: "The time
Mr.. Roosevelt and | were down
the bay fishing, a barrel Of provis-
ions rolled overheard, and before
we got it back the swimming ants
took after it. / million or so
made a rope of themselves and
wound it round and round the
barrel. As the barrel drifted a.
longside a piling, large, athletic
ant, with an end of the rope in his
claws, sprang out of the water
and fastened it to a rusty nail.
We were so gratified to see the in
genuity the ants displayed, that
we permitted them to keep the
barrel, having plenty Of other
grub aboard"
Rev. b.: 81 doubt, seriously,
the wisdom of the injunction sgo
to the ant thou sluggard. 1t it
well known that ants are guilty
of certain questionable practices,
such as making slaves Of. other
species, cultivating fungi for food,
caring for aphids so as to steal the
honeydew the aphids produce
later on, and even of organizing
political rings quite as disrepnta-
BILE as those organized by Penn
sylvania men. Please understand
that ! make this statement assum-
ing that all human beings are
sluggards to certain extent. y
Miss G., pupil, pupil teacher:
Gas | recall, the ant is q member
of the hymenopterous family of
insects constituting the Formici-
dae or super-family Formicoidea.
| have encountered them on many
occasions, especially during my
demonstrations of home econom-
les. Once when / was about to
serve most delectable dish to q
party of ladies, / was horror
struck to see several Of these I'M
sects running at large over the
bottom of the platter. | had suffi-
cient presence of mind to remove
them before any one became a.
ware of the predicament was in.
| was so fearful that some one of
the ladies would notice the little
creatures and question the sound
ness of my economic theories.
Ants are found in Mexico, Central
America, Louisiana, and in sugar,
pies, cakes, and groceries"
Mr.. B. B., doctor: although /
am intensely interested in aunts
and females generally, and take
particular care to talk to them
and observe them on the street
and in and about their household
duties, l cannot say that | ever
saw one of them make a jump
worthy of extended comment. /
do recall, however, ON several oc-
casions when ] had picked up a
baby from its go-cart, that the
mothers made quick movements
toward me, amounting to long
strides or steps, but not to what
you would call jumps. "-Arte-

ATTACK on HEE|RUGGE
BY BRITISH DESCRIBED
Germans Believed It Impossible,
Capt. Carpenter Tells Belasco
Audience.

'The Germans did not think it pos
from the outside. SO we did it" said
Capt. A. e. F. Carpenter, lecturing at
the Be1asco Theater yesterday after
noon for the benefit of the Dover
patrol fund. which assists wounded
and disabled British officers and men.
Capt. Carpenter, one of the organ
izers of this daring raid, was wound
ed and decorated with the Victoria
cross. He said that the plans for the
attack consumed five and one-half
months. He explained in detail the
obstacles which had to be overcome.
namely, seven large guns with point
blank range on the entrance to the
mole, 225 guns on the shore with an
extreme range of 10000 yards, q large
German air feet which could give
warning the miSute the approach of
the British was detected, innumerable
mines which were strewn throughout
the harbor and the narrowness OF the
channel itself. which was only twenty
feet deep at its maximum.
Big Guns Put Out of Commission.
Yet in spite of all this the British
approached within 500 yards of the
mole at midnight of the ED of April
before being seen, put the seven guns
on the end of the mole out Of COM
mission, landed 400 men in a raiding
party, sank three block ships in the
narrow channel. blocking the harbor
for five months, rescued all but
twelve Of the landing party and were
ready to depart at 1921
Capt. Carpenter told Of the tense
suspense the men were under on tho
way to the attack and described how
when relief boats came to take part
of the crew Of the block ship off be-
fore they were to be sunk. the men
could not be found. They had hidden
themselves on the ship in order not
to miss the most exciting part of the
raid.
Loss of Life Heavy.
Eighteen landing platforms had
been built on the Vindictive, which
Capt Carpenter commanded but six
teen Of these had been made useless
by the shell fire Of the Germans be-
fore the Vindictive had reached the
mole and some of the senior officers
had been killed. A submarine con-
tanning five tons of high explosives
which connects the mole with the
shore. effectually shutting off re-
inforcements. On account of the
rainy weather seven-eighths of the
British airmen who assisted in the
raid lost their lives.
