FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
by H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF WASHINGTON, 1919.
Pact Into Which the United States Novel Idea
BY H. IRVING KING
the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.I

The treaty between Spain and the
United States signed at Washington
n February Of 1919 brought to an end
"state of war" which, without any
actual proclamation, existed in fact
between the two countries, and gave
Florida to the latter. 1t was In this
treaty that the United States intro
1uced that novelty in diplomacy Of
paying for regions which 1t had pre-
Viously obtained by conquest; poll
Icy which was afterwards followed
With regard to the treaties closing the
Mexican war and the last war with
Spain. The possession Of Florida by
Spain shut out Alabama and Missis-
sippi from access to the coast Of the
Gulf of Mexico, which extended west |;
and by holding of Amelia Island at
the mouth Of the st. Mays on the At
lantlc was a constant irritation to
Georgia. The Florida coasts, both on
the Atlaptic and the Gulf, furnished
rendezvous for pirates and smugglers
and through the years Of tumult from
1907 to 1915, while Spain was engaged
IN war In Europe and by revolt among
her American colonies, criminals Of all
sorts from everywhere sought refuge
In Florida, where they were Joined by
runaway slaves from the United States.
Although the rebellion of the other
colonies Of Spanish-America did not
spread to Florida. the mother country
was unable to give effective aid to the
governor Of that colony and at one
time the governor wrote TO the Amer
lean secretary of state saying that he
would be obliged to ask the United
States to take charge Of the colony UNI
less he received aid from Spain. The
attitude Of the United States toward
the revolted South American colonies
greatly irritated Spain and the United
States was irrltated by the fact that
the British had used Florida as a
base of operations in the war Of 1872.
Beginning Of q Border War;
Then there was another cause OF
quarrel. In settling up matters with
the European powers after the M
poleonlc wars the United States pre-
scented a little bill to Spain Of over
seven million dollars for damage done
to American shipping-and Spain
showed no disposition to settle up.
During the war Of 1912, Andrew Jack
son invaded the territory of nominal
ly friendly power by selling Pensacola
and driving a British force from Fort
Barrnncas, after which he withdrew.
Some months after the close Of the
war Of 1912 there was another inva-
sion of Florida. The British during
the war had built strong fort on
the Appalachlcola and did not evacu-
ate II when the war closed. Instead
the British commander stirred up the
Indians, outlaws and negroes against

The United States Of South Africa,
which is now looming large In the ar
fairs of the British empire, Is one or
the results of the treaty OF Pretoria
which closed the Boer war, begun In
October Of 1899.

the British authorities, but when the
war came threw Its lot with the Boer
republic. The principal cause of fric-
ton was the high-handed- manner In
which, under President Kruger, "Uit-
landers," or aliens, In Transvaal were
treated. The Boer, or native, popu-
lation of the Transvaal was about TO-
900 Of whom $4,000 were voting citi-
zens. The Uitlanders. five-sixths Of
whom spoke English, were estimated
at about 10000, nearly half Of whom
were male adults: and In December Of
1895, according to Lord Bryce, their
numbers were increasing at the rate
of nearly 1000 week through arriv-
ais from Cape Town alone, and It was
estimated that should the deep levels

milk is good when the stains are fresh,
changing the milk as often as neces-
sary. Fresh butter is even u better

If very obstinate and the material

be covered with melted tallow, then
washed in the usual way.
Oxalic acid will remove any very
obstinate stains, but can be used only
on white goods, as II will destroy the

THE INFLUENZA SCARE.

That the best health authorities of the United States have little fear of q recurrence of the influenza scourge next fall and winter is the cheering news brought back from the North by John R. Frazer, Grand Master Work man of the A. O. l.. W.
 MT Frazer, who stands high in the ranks of fraternalists of the country, attended the meeting of the National Fraternal Congress at Detroit, where he was elected President of the Pres idents' Section. There he came into contact with representatives of all fra ternal societies from all sections of the country. Among the subjects discuss ed at the Congress with the most con cern was that of the possible reviSita- ton of influenza, which last year swept the country like plague.
 There has been a great deal of un- necessary alarm over the possible re currence of the influenza epidemic, said Mr. Frazer. The subject was very thoroughly discussed by the representa- tives of the various societies. and q special address was delivered on it by the health editor of the Chicago Fri hune. who is an acknowledged expert. He made Il very plain talk and said that should there be q recurrence of the malady. it would he comparatively light and not enough to worry about. All seemed to agree that the worst of it is over.
 Although all of the fraternals. along with the old-line companies, were pret- ty hard hit, it was gratifying to know that not single fraternal society was forced out of business on account of it. Some of them had to make eX- tra assessments to meet their eXces- sive and unusual death claims, but all of them are meeting their obligations and strengthening their hold upon the confidence and esteem of the public. All without exception reported greatly in- creased business making splendid prog ress numerically and in the amount of their assets.
