Colonel Peter O. Knight, of Tam- pa, just returned from Europe, pre- dicts that the war there will last several years. Colone] Knight is an able man and a shrewd observer, but as he differs from Lord Kitchen- er and the Telegram on this point, we merely give his opinion as a mat- ter of news without comment. 0 Photographs can't lie, and the aw- ful pictures of those beautiful Bel gian cities and villages wantonly destroyed and the streets and fields full of helpless, heart-broken, un- offending women and children gaz- ing with despairing eyes upon the ruin of their homes, make testi- mony not to be denied nor shaken by cross-examination. ——t————— lorida loves the tourists ana Michigan Lady Sings Polk’s Praises (Jackson, Mich., Patriot) After returning to her home in Ann Arbor, from her summer outing of five weeks at Crooked Lake, Polk County, Florida, where she visited her brother, Jason E. Hunt and his family, Miss Nora C. Hunt wrote an in- teresting personal letter to: the editor of the Patriot, from which we take the liberity of copying the following paragraphs, as Miss Hunt's many friends in Jackson will be glad to hear how she enjoyed the month of August in the highland lake reg- ion of South Florida. “I am back again, after the most delightful trip I have ever taken. Spending a day in St. Augustine on the way down, and a day at Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, on the return trip, miakes me feel as if I had been treading on holy ground. Both of these places were very inter- esting, and so was Crooked Lake Florida. “I enjoyed every the time, and they told me I had a sample of all kinds of: weather. There were two days that were hot, but in the even-! ing there was a refreshing breeze, followed by a goodl night’s rest. There were rain storms that came up suddenly— one in particular, when we’ had been across the lake to dinner. We were all invited to the Car- son home for music. Jason and family drove around, the rest of minute of gives them hospitable welcome to her warm winter interior. But not all tourists; for instance, those gents known aa'phony check artists who visit us in considerable num- bers every winter and leave a trail of worthless checks and exasperated victims behind them in ncarly every town they visit. They are begin- ning to drop in already, ve notice, and the only terms on which wel would like to have them prolong their visit would be as guests of the State in our hospitable convict camps, (e us making the trip in Carson’s launch. ‘ “The sun was shining when Mr. Carson told us to put on rain-coats. First sprinkled then it rained, and later it poured. Over about seven- eights of the lake were rain clouds, while over the other eighth the sun was shining forming a peninsula where our boat went. We saw a double rainbow. Of course every one got wet, but no one took cold. What an ideal place for a crowd of singers! “We visited Lake it Wales, a' THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, JFLA., OCT. 1, 1914 PHONE 400 German Chancellor Talks of the War (Continueq from Page 2) beginning to recognize that she has made a mistake in her calcu- lations, and that Germany will master her enemjes. She is therefore trying by the prettiest means to injury Germany as much as possible in her com- merce and colonies, by instigat- ing Japan, regardless of the con- sequences to the cultural com- munity of the white race, to a pillaging against Kiao-Chou and leading the negroes in Africa to fight against the Germans in the colonies. “rlaving strangled the news service of Germany to the whole world and having opened the campaign against us with a falsehood, England will tell your countrymen that the German troops burned down Belgian vil- lages and cities but will pass ov- er in silence the fact that Belgian girls gouged out the eyes of de- fenseless wounded. Officials of Belgian cities have invited our officers to dinner and shot and killed them across the table.| Contrary to all international law the whole civilian population of Belgium was called out and af- ter having at first shown friend- liness, carried on in the rear of | our troops a terrible warfare with concealed weapons. “Belgian women cut the| throats of soldiers whom they | had quartered in their homes, while they were sleeping. Eng-| land also will say nothing of the| dum dum bullets which are be- ing used by the English and French despite all conventions and their hypocritical proclama- tions of humanity, which can be seen here in their original packing as they were found on French and English prisoners of war, | The Emperor has authorized me to say all this and to state that he has full confidence in the sense of justice of the American people which will not allow it- self to be deceived through the war of falsehood which our en- em’i,cs are conducting against ,us, The statement of the Chancel- The level-headed Cincinnati En- |little over two years old, ate ice lor concludes as follows: quirer, noting some of the compen- satioas to accrue to this country be- ..¢ause of the European war, says: “Florida, California, Cuba, the | Bahamas, Bermuda, the West Indies and Panama, these in the order named will be the beneficiaries of the travel which the war has cut oft from the nations of Europe, from the loitering places of Asia and of Africa.” The Enquirer further remarks that “the resorts of Florida will un doubtedly be crowded from the op- ening to the very end of the winter season, and that will mean millions of dollars to the transportation lines leading from the north to that land of sunshine and flowers, and it will mean many more millions to those who transact business in that State.” TVERI FORTUNATE IN HAVING HIM cream, walked on cement walks, | and took in a ball game. This, little place is being settled most-: ly by Illinois people, some of whom we met. They are enthus- iastic, and, like the Crooked Lake folks, are proud to be known as pioneers. i “We had a fine day with the, Ohlingers at Frostproof. Ohlinger met us with his chine—a Ford—at the station and took ,us out to his home where we were entertained in true Southern style. The fami- ly are natives of Florida. After a dinner of fried chicken, Irish and sweet potatoes, coffee, lime- ade, etc., we walked through the orange and grapefruit groves, ate ripe olives, guavas, and other fruit, saw a bamboo tree, a date palm, and had two pictures tak- en. The films are fine. On the morning I left we took several _|views of the new boathouse that The consummate tact and judg- ment of President Wilson as the head of a neutral nation in replying to the Belgian commissioners and the statements made by Germany relative to the alleged atrocities committed by the German soldiers, show how fortunate this country is to have a man of his type to care for a critical situation. The New York Times says that ‘““his answers were faultless in language and sub- stance” and that “our reputation for Jjustice, impartiality and wisdom has been conserved by the innumerabie blunders which the president did not commit.” And from the West comes this opinion which we find in the Jackson (Michigan) Patriot: “Fortunately our president has made manifest to all the warring countries—countries that at peace, are foremost in the achievements of our time—the fact that the Unitea States has for them only the friend- liest feeling—that all of its acts are prompted by a desire to preserve neutrality—and that we fervently hope for the near dawn of peace. How fortunate it is that we have a man of the temperament, ability, character, and judgment, like Pres- ident Wilson at the head of affairs today, as it was half a century ago, in our period of «civil strife and bloodshed, a man of the patience and character of Abraham Lincoln. Both came to the high office as minority presidents, and both came to be gen- erally acknowledged as peculiarly fitted for the great emergency that arose and eonfronted each.™ Schubert Welling has just fin- ished, of the lake and the nur- sery. The pineapples grown by the boys are of the finest quality. One weighed 5 1-2 pounds. “I have had a good time and a good rest. I loved to hear the wind blowing in the pine trees, and on moonlit nights every- thing was so beautiful it seemed too bad to sleep, yet that is just what I did.” THE PLAIN TRUTH What More Can Lakeland People Ask? When well-known residents and highly-respected people of Lakeland make such statements as the fol- lowing, it must carry conviction to every reader: Mrs. W. E. Browning 211 South Tennessee Ave., Lakeland, says: ‘1 think that the uric acid in my sys- tem caused my poor health. About a year ago one of my fingers began to swell up and became very stiff. My kidneys were disordered. I went to a doctor, but he was unable to help me. My aunt had been cured of a severe case of kidney trouble by Doan's Kidney Pills and she ad- vised me to try them. I got a box at the Lake Pharmacy and soon after using them the swellings ana stiffness went out of my finger agd my health improved. Anything 1 might add to the statement 1 have already given, praising Doan’s Kid- ney Pills could not be too strong. Mr. | 1 ma-|cruelty or of any brutality. We “Every one who has lived in Germany since the outbreak of the war, has been able to wit- ness the great moral uprising of all Germans who, pressed hard on all sides, cheerfully take the field for the defense of their rights and their existence; every one knows that this people is not capable of any unnecessary will win, thanks to the great moral strength which our just cause gives to our troops, and in the end the greatest falsehood will be able to obscure our vic- {tories as little as they do our rights.” —————————————————————— You have my permission to continue using my former endorsement.” Price 50c, at all dealers.
