 Washington, June 1e - (UP) - Mutual charges of treaty violation further ombittered German -Amerl- can relations today as President Roosevelt indicated that some move against Italy was imminent.
 This governments formal protest to Germany against the torpedoing of the American steamship Robin Moor was expected to come soon. While refusing to connect the tor- pedoing with any plans for arming American merchant ships, MT. Roosevelt said yesterday that he supposed every chief of naval op- erations since 1918 has formulated plans for mounting guns on mer. chant vessels for their defense and that the Navy has such plans for doing so now If 1t were deemed necessary.
 So far as the president Is cons cerned, he added, those plans for arming merchant vessels are 4n Navy safes. He said he didn't know whether Congressional authoriZa" ton would Do needed to put such plans in effect.
 Tn the past % hours the United States hos frozen German and Italian credits in the United States ordered the closing of German con-. sulates and semi- official German "information" agencies and expul. sion of their Na2i employees and finally closed American boredrs to departure of German nationals.

AN AMAZING PRoPHEsY

"The time will come, and that pres
emily, when, by making use Of the magnetic
waves which permeate the ether which sur
rounds our world, we shall communicate
with the Antipodes."
This amazing prophesy, which at the
time was only wild guess, was made by
Joseph Glanvill, an English philosopher
ard divine, in work called "The Vanity of
Dogmatizing," published in London in
1861. Whether it be considered prophesy
or mere guesswork, his statement came true
with the advent of radio--after about $50
years.
Glanvill was born at Plymouth, Eng
land, In 1886, and became rector of a
church in Essex at the age Of "a, the work
containing his famous prediction being pro-
duced shortly afterward. When he was 80
years old he became chaplain to King
Charles H.
His writings indicate that Glanvill was
extremely skeptical about the scientific and
philosophical theories of others, yet he had
some fantastic ideas Of his own, among
them being firm belief in witchcraft.
But witchcraft was so generally ae-
eepted as fact In his day that Glanvill's
talk about communicating by magnetic
waves might easily have led to the sus-
pieion that he himself was In league with
evil spirits.

THE LAND AND HENRY GEORGE


Clearwater residents according to a
Clearwater Sun editorial, turned out in a
surprising number" recently to protest the
present PinelIas county tax system, and to
demand a higher levy on vacant land be-
ing held for speculation
In so doing, they were helping to pro-
mote the teachings Of the late Henry
George and probably were echoing the
feeling of most other property owners who
have improved their land Including the
numerous Monroe county taxpayers who
see their exertions and money going to the
benefit Of landowners who do not improve
their holdings.
Georges tax system, although the
subject of endless debate ever since he pro-
pounded it, was very simple
His theory was that the man who inn
proves his property, instead of being penal
lied for that improvement through in
on the same basis as the man whose prop
erty is of comparable value, but is not inn
proved.
AS George pointed out, the present
system of taxation permits the one tax
payer to collect the uRearned increment of
his neighbours exertion without paying the
increased taxes which are levied on the man
who builds
Thus the owner of dump yard i'm the
middle of residential section pays taxes
lower than his homecoming neighbors,
maintains nuisance at their expense, and
sees his property 3 value increased through
their exertions.
George put it this way:
I'VE hold that all men are equally en-
titled to the use and enjoyment of what
God has created and of what is gained by
the general growth and improvement of
the community of which they are part.
Therefore, no one should be permit
ted to hold natural opportunities without
fair return to all for any special privilege
thus accorded to him, and that that value
which the growth and improvement of the
community attaches to the land should be
taken for the use Of the community; that
each is entitled to all that his labor pro-
duces; therefore, no tax should be levied
on the products of labor"
Clearwater residents, rather than fol-
lowing Georges plan of eliminating all
taxes other than those on land, would in
crease that on unimproved land.
That's different way of tackling the
problem, but if it would prevent the holding
OF vacant land for speculation, or at least
require such land to pay its way in the COM
,munity, it would be worth trying there
and here.

THE ISLE OF KEY WEST
By A. A. BUCHANAN
Jacksonville. Fla.

Crowned by no giant hills whose
SUBMITS soar
Toward the vault of Heaven,
bending Ger
A small, flat island, scarce q
league in length,
Battling old ocean in herculean
strength;
Bathed in the waters of Empy-
rean blue,
With just above the tide, a span
or two,
Its waving palms inviting dreams
and rest,
Is Cayo Hueso--sunny, fair Key
West.
Here every day is like a day in
June.
When Natures pulse in harmony
keeps tune,
And every breeze is whispering
some refrain,
From sea to earth and earth to
sea again;
Here night is like some soft and
dangerous dream,
In which the isle seems floating
with the stream
Whose tiny waves in golden
showers break
Upon its sands and rhythmic
music makes.
Here summer sheds the splendor
of her days,
And Nature smiles beneath the
genial rays,
While balnly winds stop, Hnger-
ing on their way,
To stir the palms and with the
flowers play,
Then, perfume-laden, wing their
flight to watt
Across the deep some heavy
freighted craft,
Or bellying out white sails, on
pleasure bent,
Return to cool the land when
day is spent.
OH perfect daysl The broad ex-
panse of sea,
Ger which the eye may rove
with vision free.
Fleeked with white sails, a mo-
ment lost, then seen,
Changing from deepest blue to
lightest green,
Mirroring in sun-kissed depths
an azure sky
Meath which white clouds like
idle phantoms fly;
1t bathes the isle with gentle,
mystic sweep,
And on its shores in murmurs
sinks to sleep.
Oh! perfect nightsl When day is
