Some appreciation of what it will
mean to have Southern College locat-
ed in Lakeland will come from the an
nouncement that the preliminary
building plans show a total estimated
cost for the first groups of buildings
of between $53O,000 and $5S0,00 This
is aside entirely from the endowment
of the various chairs, this item reach
ing not less than $120,0OO up to the
present time.
DR.. X. ii. Alderman. president of
Southern College. Rev. j. A. Hendry
uf Plant City, secretary of the board
Of trustees, and Rev Dr Scott of
Clearwater, came to Lakeland on
Thursday to hold the first of a series
OF conferences with the committee Of
the Chamber of Commerce handling
the Southern proposition. The decision
was reached to secure preliminary
vote of the conference by means of a
sort of straw ballot to be sent out
through the secretary OF the board,
Dr. Ilendry. This will save consider
able time for the reason that the con-
ference does not meet until next De.
cember, 1t being agreed that if the
membership Of the conference gives
an expression of approval of the ae-
tion Of the location COMMITTEES of
Southern and the subsequent favor
able action of the board of trustees in
selecting Lakeland as the new home
of the college, it will then be possible
to proceed Immediately with the nee.
essary legal steps in acquiring title
to the property included in the site
given W Lakeland. Once this Is ac-
cOmplished it will then be in order to
start building operations.
In this connection II is worthy of
note that already some of the new
buildings and equipment have been
provided for by those desiring to erect
permanent memorials. Several others
aressven now being considered sostfat
by the time building operations actu-
ally commence. 1t Is morS than likely
that considerable portion of the
great plant will be In the form Of me-
MORALS. The college board will be
glad to get In touch with any per-
sons who may be Interested in this
special way.

Japan Against America

London, May 6.-British overseas
dominions would not tolerate an An.
glo-Japanese treaty having as its pur.
pose opposition TO the United States,
says the Weekly Spectator today. The
newspaper devoted considerable space
to discussion of Anglo-American re.
lations and Japan and cited facts to
show that an alliance between Eng.
land and Japan was never meant and
never could be used against America
: Yet we have until now left the most
important argument on our side un'
stated" the newspaper continued.
Even the most wildly imperialistiC
aggressive of the Britons do not con
template the blowing of the British
empire into smithereens in single
instant. We know perfectly well this
would be the result If we went to wal
against America, not to support some
rights OF our own, but in order to help
the Japanese.

Overcoats were needed on the swift
dash over the dusty highway from

From the observation tower can be
seen most of the important White
Mountain peaks. Seemingly only a
stones throw from the foot of the
mountain the Connecticut winds like
ribbon OF watered silk. Across the
river are the Green Mountains of
Vermont. To the north. Canada can

President from the lodge cannot see
Maine and Massachusetts through the

This country is Secretary Weeks
boyhood home, a fact that Mr.. Har-

giving little anthologies of the careers
of his Secretarial associates. Mr.. Har-

New Hampshire farm boy who first
received an Annapolis appointment
and finally landed in the United

this story up to date, he would men

now Secretary of War.
