view of the guard ON the 10Th inst. |
was greatly pleased with the person
mel Of the officers and enlisted men,.
Among the members of the guard, |
found many of the states most proml-
nent and patriotic young men and
there is no doubt but what We have in
cluded in the guard, the highest type
of the states citizenship.
The encampment was great sue
cess, the spirit of the men was fine
and want to take this opportunity to
express my appreciation of them,
their loyalty, and their patriotic re-
gard for the preservation OF the
states highest interests.
AS chief executive. it is comforting
to know that the state has such
force which would readily respond
should domestic trouble ensue and
which would likewise hear the call OF
duty should the interests of their
country be seriously threatened. My
heart is with the officers and men OF
the guard! | shall, during my admin

rious units throughout the state. m!
sincere appreciation of their loya
service. Very truly yours,
Cary A. Hardee. Governor.

chiefs approval of their efforts, bu
because it shows his interest in them

of instruction.
The school and camp were unques
tionably the best administered, tn
best instructed and the best disclr
lined camps the -adjutant general ma
seen during his twenty years expel

The officers and men have ever
reason to be proud of the Florida Ns

AMERICAN RELIEF ORGANIZATION IN RUSSIA FACES PROBLEM OF
 FEEDING FIFTY MILLION HUNGRY
Problems of Personnel and Distribution of Food to Greet
 Workers Much As in Case of Belgian Relief of 1914.

London, Sept 1.-The great battle against the famine in Russia is just beginning. But, as was the case in Belgium in 1914, the preliminary struggle involves not so much ques- tion of supplies as of organization.
 Comparing what happened in he early days in Belgium to the present situation in Russia may help to visu- alize the work lying before the Amer ican Relief efforts. In both in stances the relief workers were laced with a certain hostility; only in the present case they are not faced with a ruthless army.
 I saw the first American ship con- taining food enter the harbor of Am sterdam on December 4, 1914. Its gallant commander had never left the seas around Nova Scotia before. But despite German submarines and mines, although entirely ignorant of the difficulties of Atlantic transporta- tion, he had safely brought his pre- cious cargo into a neutral port.
 An anxious crowd of us, the first relief workers, awaited him: Through out the Saturday night and during the early hours of Sunday we scanned the sea for the ships approach De- spite the messages from London we began to doubt. Then at last the vessel hove in sight and excitement grew to fever height. We knew that at last million refugees, who had fled unwe1comed into Holland, were at the point of starvation.
 We knew that at least tWlce as many Belgians, in their native viii lages adjoining the Dutch frontier, were in a like or worse predicament. Intrepid American Officer. It was that afternoon when the ship cast anchor. By o'clock we had three gangs of men working l1ke demons-at triple wages-to unload | her By midday on Monday the greater part of her food was placed

States Patent System
 Demoralized

Washington. Sept. 17-The Amer1- can patent system, the foundation Of American industry which has produc- ed untold billions of wealth today is in a demoralized condition.
 Patent and trade mark cases are piling up because of the lack or competent examiners and today the office is confronted with 60,000 of these cases which are being held up ind efinitely.%
 The result is that it now takes an unreasonably long time to secure a patent and inventors run the risk of having their ideas grabbed up by large concerns long before they can secure a patent.
 'The failure of Congress to in crease the force of employees ana their salaries is the cause of the de noraHzed condition of the patent of- flee and legislation is absolutely present hopeless condition" said As 5lStant Commissioner Tanning.

ADOPTION OF CONVENTION
 AIDS TRADE

Buenos Aires, Sept. 16-Shipment of merchandise packages weighing up to 22 pounds will be possible under a parcel post convention adopted yes terday by the Panaman postal con- gress, in session here. Such shipments would be provided for between coun- tries ratifying the convention. The other provisions of the convention transit through contracting countries that payment of from 20 to 40 cents United States gold would be made by the country of origin to the country of destination on packages weighing from II to 22 pounds, and an agree ment on the part of the countries of destination not to make more than a single local charge not exceeding ten cents.
 Adoption of this convention com pleted one of the most important tasks of the congress. Postal money orders were to be considered today. vides for the formation of a pan American parcels union embracing the United States and all countries of Latn-AmericaL and superseding num- erouS agreements between separate nations for the handling of parcels The United States delegates. O. K Davis, and Edwin Sands, declare the shipment of parcels from the United more satisfactory and greatly facfli- tate it. The principal desire of the American delegates was to obtain a concession from Latin American countries, establishing the principle that a person receiving parcel should not be expected to pay more than one moderate charge on delivery. The effect of this was clearly brought out in the case of Argentina where numerous charges have been made in the past in many cases totaling more than the value of the goods received
 One case cited was a package mail ed from the United States containing articles worth thirty cents They final ly cost the addressee more than six dollars as result of various charges Under the new convention these charges would be replaced by a single charge of ten cents, making it possible for Americans to carry on business through the mails.
 The agreement would become ef- fective on January l 1923 between countries formally ratifying it before that date.
 The only reservation made to com p!ete acceptance of the convention was by Argentina in which country if will be necessary to amend the posta f law so as to permit the provisions of he convention to become operative. The congress has also acted upon the proposal for the establishment of an international post office at Monte Jideo.
