COMMUNICATIONS
Disarmament and the Press.
Mr. Editor: '
The first part of your editorial last
week on disarmament is of great his
torical interest. The latter part
was an argument that has never been
answered. If the press of the world
would work for peace honestly and
consistently for a single decade, ar
maments would cease.
F. E. Simpsom.
Glover, Vt.
Clark Writes from "Isle of Pines."
Mr. Editor:
Here we are at Santa Fe, Isle of
Pines, W. I., 1650 miles from our
Geneva home, in a five-room, furnish
ed bungalow, which we hired for $25
per month. We have named it
"Bonita Reposo," meaning beautiful
rest. The giver of all good gifts
furnishes our heat for the winter as
free as the air we. breathe. About .
our porch blooms the beautiful Cuban
daisy, the national flower of Cuba,
which rows wild all over the island.
Everywhere is seen several varieties
of the stately palm trees, manyother
tropical nlants as well as the same
variety -of pine trees found as far
nortjh as Minnesota. The thermome
ter here registers now about 75 de
grees. This heat is not oppressive
as we are fanned by the balmy trade
winds. In Havana mercury ranges
from 80 degrees in the evening to 84
at mid-day with little or no breeze.
We spent three days in Havana be
fore coming to this place. The na
tive fruit here costs about one-half
the price in the states and is much
better The grape fruits and oranges
are just luscious, so sweet that they
need no sugar as they are fully rip
ened before gathered for local use.
Some of the groceries here are a lit
tle higher than in the states. Eggs
(fresh) 75 cents per dozen; Brookfield
creamery butter 60 cents per pound;
bread, (16-ounce loaf) 12 cents. As
we live largely on fruits is will not
cost us as much here as at home and
our coal bill there will pay our rent
here:
v The railroad and steamboat fare
for two from Geneva, N. Y., to the
Isle of Pines, and return, will . be
$500, besides hotel bills and transfer
charges for baggage.
If you ask me how I like here I
will answer, "I am delighted." In
describing my present condition
please pardon me for using another
Roosevelt expression, "I am feeling
bully." -
Senora Clark is well and is learn
ing to use her fan as coquettishly as
the charming Cuban dames. We
ar.e on. our honeymoon trip after fifty
years of married life. ,
one wants a vacation in some
place where there are many places
of amusement and attractions,, as
theatres, horse racing and golf, go
to Havana or elsewhere. But if you
want a quiet place to rest, where the
waipr is the best (the soft magne
sium water is found all over the is
land), and where the tropical heat is
tempered by the balmy trade winds,
I believe there is no place finer than
"Isle de Pinos."
I enclose you a. Cuban daisy. Lat
er I will write you of my ocean voy
age of four days, of my impressions
of quaint old Havana and her peo
ple and more fully of the Isle of
Pines.
