Miami, Fla.—Probably for the first
time since the stirring days o f the
Civil war we find a southern, port
blocknded by United States warships.
Happily, however, It Is no crisis
brought about by an uncompromising
demand for the integrity of state
rights, but to prevent a cable ship en
tering the port o f Miami, the most
southerly city on the Floridian main
land and the third largest In the state,
from the standpoint o f population.
Nestling beside the beautiful waters
o f Biscayne bay and separated from
the Atlantic only by the peninsula of
Miami beach, the city has rapidly
come into Its own, due to the strategic
geographic location It occupies on the
South Atlantic coast, and It gives
promise to rival Jacksonville as a
port of call. When one realizes that
one-tlilrd of all the grapefruit In the
United States comes from the county
In which Miami Is situated and that
one-fifth of nil the animal life In
America north of Panama is to be
found in the waters of the Gulf stream
which lave the golden strand of Miami
beach In its front yard, and with the
great potential agricultural wealth of
the Everglades at Its back door, small
wonder that Miami has grown, as
sfc-own by the last census report, 440
per cent.

Rivals the Riviera.
Blessed with a year-round climate
that rivals the Riviera, with ever-
blowing trade winds that temper the
semi-tropical sun, Miami bids fair to
take rank with anything of its size in
the United States for development
along highly profitable and thoroughly
businesslike lines.
; It is not surprising that a telegraph
company desires to bring the Barbados
cables Into Miami Instead of Key
West, a hundred odd miles south of
this point; but there Is some diplo
matic hitch about England’s control of
cables which has caused this pratlcal-
ly unheard of situation o f United
States war vessels blockading a Unit
ed states port In the time of peace.
Three years ago the money on de
posit In the bnnking institutions of
Miami amounted to something like $4,-
000,000, In the summer of 1919 to
$12,000,000, in March, 1020, to $17,-
000,000, and today the amount is up
ward o f $20,000,000.
Moreover, In
permanent population it has grown In
ten years from 5,471 to 29,549. During
.the winter months there are nearly as
many traflic “ cops” on Its well-paved
■streets as there are In the national
capital, ten times Its size.

“At the present time Germany could
put a well-equipped army o f 000,000
officers nnd men Into the field If they
could be organized to tight together.
The major part o f this force is the
army of the Bnltlc and the smaller
bodies o f troops who have not yet
been disbanded. The ordinary German
workman, so far ns my knowledge
goes. Is fed up with war, and desires
to live with his family and pursue his
trade peacefully.
“ The French mllltnry authorities do
not agree with this view In regard to
the Germans and believe that they are
secretly organizing to avenge their de
feat. The officers, especially the Prus
sians of the old regime, would no
doubt like to do this, a3 fighting Is
their trade, but the rank and file would
refuse to follow them Into the field.
“The Germans have plenty of air
planes, arms nnd ammunition. Out of
28,000 field guns they possessed when
the armistice was signed they have de
stroyed only 2,000 so fnr. It Is very
difficult to get the German govern
ment to carry out the conditions of
the peace treaty, which demand that
these guns should bo destroyed, and
that the forts nnd strategic railways
constructed In the course of the war
should be demolished. The claim Is
put forth that all this work would oc
cupy a long time nnd would be unpro
ductive nnd expensive to the govern
ment, which has no funds to meet it.
Personally, Judging from the slow
manner In which things have been
done so far, I think It will be years
before these conditions are fulfilled, If
ever.
"There Is one thing certain to any
sane person who knows the conditions
existing here at the presold time: that
Is, If Germany Is to pay the Indemnity,
or any portion of It, In the near future
she must be supplied with raw mate
rials to start the factories to work and
with foodstuffs for the people.

It was a strange sight to visitors In
Cologne on Saturday, June 5, to see
the British troops with massed bandi
parading the cathedral square In honor
of King George's birthday. The people
filled nil the side streets and crowded
the windows of the shops and house)
which overlooked the scene. They be
haved In an orderly manner, and the
mounted German policemen who were
on duty had no difficulty in keeping
the big crowd back.
Before the war Cologne was very
prosperous and had a large garrison.
There Is n great change I 11 the bearing
of the railwny and street car official)

smart uniforms and autocratic man

They now slouch nbout In old army
uniforms minus the facing, and are
civil to the public almost to the point
of servility.
There is a little more meat In Co

the supplies coming up the Rhine from
Rotterdam for the British army, and
the bread Is of a better quality. The
Tommy gets hla rations and his white
bread dally and pufehaaea hla extra
supplies from the canteen. With the
low rate o f exchange he has been liv
