ing at length whether not they should attack,
to obeying command or not, as they pleased.
After time this was overcome When the Red
guardists saw that their appointed officer was not
capable in practice, they asked for a new officer
from the staff. But there were not many such
officers to be obtained. Some groups of industrial
workers, who had beenatraned in sport Organiza-
tons, could supply comrades capable of military
leadership But this process of creating officers
while the war going on was Slow and time
did not wait. The necessity for discipline also
developed with experience. But this process also
was too slow. One little anecdote will illustrate
the awakening of this consciousness. Long after
the civil war, when one of the red guardsts was
released from the prison camp of the whites, he
told his comrades: "NOw / will keep my place in
the firing line" That means that the trouble in
fighting was that many left the firingline and
now he understood that this was the key to all
fighting The problem of developing men land
women) who are trained to keep their places and
uphold their authority is the most vital in al
questions of struggle. 1t is especially necessaI
when there is a need for a retreat The men wi
take up arms are willing to advance but retreat
disheartens them and destroys discipline. 1t was
for this reason that Lenin emphasized the double
necessity of discipline during retreat.
10. The concentration of troops As told
above, the rank and file in civil war are willing
to fight for their homes, but do not fully under
stand the necessity Of fighting elsewhere But in
war, OF course, there are places of more and less
Importance, and forces must be concentrated to
hold the important places. This was clear for
the white military leaders. And they had made
preparations to concentrate the troops where
they were needed and to provide them with the
necessary supplies. This was not so apparent to
the Reds. OF course it was DONE but not so sys-
tematlcally as was the case with the whites, arN
the concentration and distribution of the troo
was delayed. This was in many cases the ma j
reason for defeat
H. The critical moment. The decision to be-
GIN is the most vital problem in all action This
should not be fastened, but neither should it be
delayed beyond the right moment On February
20, some members of the whites were demanding
immediate action. Others hestitated They
pointed out that there was no artillery to speak
OF, and the supply of machine-guns was insuffci-
ent. Even guns and ammunition we're lacking.
But Mannerheim decided for action. His reasons
were:
IF the sending of troops to the north, aimed
at by the marines and the Reds, could be carried
out, the rise of the white people, insuffcently
armed, would suffer q serious drawback 1t

THE TOLL BRIDGE CONTRACT

The tentative contract for building the three
long toll bridges Of The Oversee highway, as
agreed upon by the county commissioners and the
G. A. p Turner Company of Minneapolis, seems
to be about as good proposition the people
could have expected or desired. It seems to be
fair to the county and to the Turner company as
well during the life Of the contract and at the ter
mination Of the agreement the bridges automati-
cally become the property of the county.
Monroe county is not required by the agree
ment to pay out one cent of money until the
bridges are built and in operation for twelve
months. Then If the tolls collected for the first
year do not amount to 100000, the county is re-
tween the amount of tolls collected and 100000.
be that amount what it may. The Turner COM
pany must operate and maintain the bridges and
pay all expenses.
In the event that the tolls amount to over
100000 year, and every one believes that they
til they amount to 1914 per cent Of the capitali-
cation of the bridge construction company, to be
organized. and all over this amount will go to Mon
roe county.
These bridges are to be operated under the
conditions mentioned for Is years, and at the ex-
county in good condition.
G. A. P. Turner, who negotiated the deal for
his firm with the county commissioners. gave as
surances that bankers had definitely agreed to fl
nance the proposition if he could get such con-
tract from the county commissioners; and it was
tract would be put to vote of the citizens of Mon
roe county before the commissioners would be ask
ed to make it binding upon the county.
Judging from the amount of traffic passing
over other important toll bridges in Florida it is
practically safe prediction that Monroe county
on the contract with the constructing firm, and
that the bridges will soon become source of rev
enue in volume undreamed of, in comparison with
which the 100000 yearly guarantee would be an
insignificant sum. That the traffic over these
bridges will far exceed that of any others in the
state will be readily conceded BY any one who win
make careful study and analysis Of the situation
The commissioners Of Monroe county deserve
highest compliment and praise for the intelligent
and highly successful MANNER in which they have
handled this immense proposition that is of such
tremendous Importance to this city and county,
and the citizens should show their appreciation and
good judgment by fayoring the contract unani-
mously at the polls, if expression Of the people
Is called for in this way.

At last there is probability of Miami's cashing
in on its nearness to Cuba, an asset that hitherto
has been regarded merely from the point of the in
teresting sidetrip afforded Miami visitors. This,
to those who are acquainted with Cuba's vitality
and resources, Is illogical. Cuba should be con-
sidered as Of the most important population
centers from which Miami should legitimateIy
draw tourists and investors; but Miami, with po-
tental gold mine at its door, has consistently over
looked its possibilities to seek others, farther
afield.
The first definite step taken to attract Gu
bans to Miami-establishmen Of cheap excur-
sion rate on the F. E. C. railway and the r. and o.
s. S. Co.'s principally due to the representations
Of Sr. Jorge Ponce, Cuban consul at Key West who
until recently represented the island republic in
Miami. Up to the present these rates only OBJ
tanned for south-bound passengers Sr. Ponce has
rendered valuable service to Miami by directing
hither the vanguard of Cuban tourists. forty thous
and strong, who visit the United States each sum
mer and autumn, and spend approximately forty
million dollars in the New York district
Havana's first contingent of tourists is in
Miami today, joining with rs in the celebration of
our independence which indirectly is also their in
dependence. Miami should make them very vel
come.
