THE HONE IS THE FOUNDATION OF FNAL PEACE : (By Assoclated Press.) Baltimore, May 14—“A Prelude to Peace,” was the subject of an ad- dress by Mrs. John M. Glenn, of New York, President, at tonight's session of the National Conference of Charities and Correction, in which she sounded the note of high ! ideals in social service, and spoke of the *“‘tide of emotional giving,’ which hgd detracted from the year’s usual preventative and constructive [LAKELAND DEFEATED TAMPA BY SCORE OF 5 70 0 A pretty game of ball, though one- sided, was the exhibition wiven yes- terday afternoon at the Athletic Park when Lakeland defeated Tampa 5 to 0, not even giving the Cubans a ‘“look-in.” Verigan pitched a wonderful game, giving up only one hit, and as a consequence the visitors never got anywhere. He was given splendid support, the Lakeland playvers all showing “pep” and they were there with the stick, nine hits being mark- STANDING MAJESTIC 0 | ! | | | { Mrs. Chas. { Mrs. Kate Booth . Mrs, B.

Nothing is more useless and more wearlsome to readers, than constant bicker- ines between two rival newspapers, PRER TR The Suwannece Democrat prints some correspandence from the Agri- cultural Department at Washington, which intimates that the spineless cactus, which has been much ex- ploiled as a crop for stock food, is of little value for this purpose. The inference seems to be that spineless cactus is like spineless people—not much good for anything. NS Twenty-one business men of West Palm Beach have guaranteed to put up $100 a year for five years to maintain a trade body. That's the way to have one and to get some worth-while results. In many places the business men think they're be- ing impoverished when the hat s uassed every so often and they chip in fifty cents to help maintain their commercial organization. Then they wonder “why the Board of Trade don’t do something.” —0 1s Claude L'Engle pluming himself for = another political flight? He hands out a half-column of compli- ment to the Florida Cracker, and that looks more or less like & pre- liminary to asking the wool hat boys for their votes. The Florida Cracker is all right, and he knows it; and the only person who considers it nec- essary to tell him so, as a rule, is somebody who wants to get close to him on election day. - *w o o The note sent by this government to Germany is a calm, dispassionate, sane and logical presentation of the case, and will place the United States in a proper light before the nations of the earth. It is mild, but firm; courteous, but positive; it does not say too much, and it leaves noth- ing unsaid. It is a masterly state document which the American peo- ple as a whole can heartily approve and endorse. P The annual report of the Woman's Club of Lakeland, as published in today's issue of the Evening Tele- gram, shows that this organizatiof is a very live one, and that its ac- tivities have been productive of much good for this city and community. Lakeland claims leadership in many things, but in none with ®greater justice and reason than in the num- ber of women she possesses who con- bine both ability and’ charm, and the membership of the Woman's Club of Lakeland comprises a boquet of beauty and intelligence which we challenge any city in the state—or the country—to equal. SRS AN The Ocala Banner very justly ob- serves that “the worst feature about the destruction of the Lusitania other than the meditation and pre- paration for its destruction was the exultation in Germany over the terri- ble tragedy, and its celebration by giving these school ciildren a half holiday”* Tt is difficult, indeed, for the American people to realize that those whom they have been accus- tomed to look upon as among the most humane and cultured of the earth can gloat over an occurrence so shocking to every semtiment of humanity. The whole German na- tion seems to have been bnnall‘ed by the war spirit.
