In Florida, She Says
(By' Universal Service.)
CHICAGO, March 11.—Airplanes
and all types of seacraft are car
rying on an immense liquor smug
gling business along the Florida
coast, according to Mrs. Roland R.
Hurford, who spent six weeks near
Palm Beach.
“The ocean is crowded with alle
kinds of vessels and the air is dark
with aircraft—mostly hydroplanes
—all engaged in smuggling whisky
to the Florida coast,” Mrs. Hurford
said.
“The source of supply is an island
called Bimini, undef the British
protectorate, 65 miles off the coast.
Every vessel that can be stolen,
bought, begged or chartered, is sent
to Bimini and loaded with liquors.
“They bring it to the three-mile
limit and then the hydroplanes fly
out. The whisky is thrown over
board with buoys attached and
picked up by the planes and
brought to land.”

Reference to Militarism Is Passed
Up as Personal View and
Not Sufficient for ‘lncident.
(By Universal Service.)
PARIS, March 11.—After long de
liberation, the French cabinet has
decided to instruct the war office to
take no official notice of the passage
in President Wilson’s letter to Sena
tor Hitchecock whic}n refers to the al
leged’ enthronement of militarism in
France.
The instructions are to the efrect
that Mr. Wilson’s remarks are not
to be regarded in the light of an ac
cusation, since the President was
merely expressing his personal view
in a private letter to a senator and
friend, and his observations do not
offer sufficient ground for an interna
tional quarrel, or even for an “inci
dent.”
The concensus here is that the real
test of American feeling towara
France will be given by the Senate's
final vote on the treaty of Versailles
and the Franco-Britisk-American
“protective” agreement. Until them,
President Wilson's personal opinions}
are not to be made the subject of
official or semi-official policies, ‘
' PRESS IS INDIGNANT, |
There is no concealing the fact,
however, t:hat publication of his !et-i
ter here has aroused the press and
public to redoubled indignation
against the President personally,‘
’many bitter comments being made by
the leading newspapers of Paris. }{cre‘
are some excerpts from editorials:
Le Petit Parisien—“lt is certain
President Wilson would not have
written the letter if he possessed full
\control of his faculties and good‘
‘health. The letter unquestionably is
jthe work of a sick man, discr'editlng‘
jhis party as well as himself.” !
~ Le Gaulois—"President Wilson is‘
!endeavoring to knock the strength of
those governments which advocate
order and discipline. His anti-im
perialistic formula is bound to en
courage the international reds be
hind whom Germany is preparing for
future revenge. Europe is dlsa.p-‘
pointed in the President whose ad
vertised ‘fair play’ is apparently ln-l
coherent.”
NOT NATION'S VIEW. |
I’Ec¢ho de Paris—*Mr. Wilson's in-i
feriority is now proved. He certainly!
‘doos not protect America’s intcrests.}
‘When he quits the White House
America’s policy will change, for
America can not express. its real‘
feelings tdwards Europe until it has
a government in which it itself can |
trust.” :
i Le Figaro—"“France regrets lin
tensely having sacrificed the tangi
ble guarantees of her security for!
:moral assurances which now urr-f
ibeing disavowed by the very man who
‘has given them. We hope that the!
vote of the Senate will enlighten Mr.‘
Wilson on his deplorable error of
judgment regarding France.”

‘Week Hat’ Is
Newest Dragon
Paris Pugrse
; (By Universal Service.)
P ARIS, March 11.—As if the
cost of clothes was not
enough to ruin women, the Paris
modistes have discovered a new
scheme of enticing money from
their clients—the week hat, Sev
eral of the smartest houses have
launched the idea of making a
special model for each week.
These models are, of cowse,
adapted to the individuality of
the clients, so that while each is
of a special date, it is at the
same time exclusive,
Consequently if a woman
wants to be well dressed she
must not only have a new hat
for each of the seasons and for
each of her gowns, but the hat
must harmonize with the fashion
dictum of the week.
Unless a day hat is intro
duced, it would be hard to im
agine a more tyrannical fashion,

* Democrats for Offer—Thinks
Delegates Should Go,
Uninstructed.
By GEORGE H. MANNING,
Washington Correspondent of The
Georgian,
WASHINGTON, March 11—
'Champ Clark of Missouri today de
clined to have his name placed on
‘tho ticket in Georgia for the presi
‘dential primary to be held in April
In a letter to Hiram L. Gardner,
‘secretary of the Georgia State Dem
ocratic Cémmittee, he expressed his
belief that all delegates to the San
Francisco,convention should go un
instructed and “nominate the ablest
and most thorough-going Democrat
that can be found.”
The former speaker's letter to
Secretary Gardner reads as follows:
“I am pro\’oundly grateful to my
(GGeorgia friends who have suggested
that my name should be placed on
the ticket at the preferential presi
dential primary.
DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
“My own opinion is that it is best
not to do that. In my judgment the
San Francisco convention should be
absolutely a consulting body to do
two things: 1-—Adopt a thoroughly
Democratic platform made of time
tried and fundamental Democratic
principles, progressive and up to
date. 2—On such Democratic plat
form nominate the ablest and most
thorough-going Democrat that can
be found. . |
“No man will decline a presiden
tial nomination tendered freely by a
great party, for the presidency of
the United States is not only the
most powerful office known to our
political system, but the greatest
ever devised by, the wit of man. lt!
should not be bestowed upon any
man to gratify his personal ambi
tion, but solely for the good of thel
country; for the only reason for l‘
political party is to promote the
prosperity, the happiness and glory‘
of the American people, 4
SHOULD BE NOMINATED, |
“So believing, I think it would be‘
fortunate for both the party and|
the country if all the delegates to
San Francisco®should go uninstruct
ed so as to be free after consulta
tion to agree on the best men possi
ble for President and Vice Presi
dent on a platform thoroughly Dem
ocratic in every plank.
“The record of the Democratic
administration and the Democratic
Congress is beyond all praise. On it
we stand and on it we should win to
the end that the national and State
governments shall be maintained in
their full constitutional vigor, and
that law and order “may, prevail
everywhere under our flag. But
then if we should fail with such a
platform and such candidates, our
party would emerge from the con
test in splendid fighting trim . for
future conflicts.”
