The question as To who shall
bear the responsibility Of the blam'
as TO the sinking of the Majestic a
the Chain OF Rocks in St Loui
early on the morning of June 20
is beginning to assume definite pro
portions with the report that the
city of st. Louis is facing a damage
suit as a result OF the accident
Representatives of insurance
companies in which the Majestic
was insured are maintaining tina
the city was not authorized by the
charter to build a new intake at the
spot where it is being constructed
The city hag replied that it wa
authorized by special act of con
gress to build the intake at that
point and that the location was So
lected by government engineers
and denies the truth Of the state
ment that the lights on the Golfer
dam were too small to be seen at 4
reasonable distance,
1t is to be regretted that there
should be any friction between tn
city and the insurance companie
regarding his most lamentable acct
dent. The insurance companies arr
pursuing what is for them tn
safest method Of placing the blame
that of attacking the legal construc
tion OF the situation.
When a man stumbles over a gut
ter and breaks his leg, who is {
blame, the man who built the quite
or the man who stumbled? Whe
man wrecks an institutio
through gross misuse OF funds

to be blamed? When a river pilot

toward midstream, is not familia
with every existing condition

dam, who is to blame, the perso
who built the obstruction or tn
pilot?
The man at the wheel is en-
trusted with a human cargo. 1t !
his duty to learn and know
every new obstruction in the pat
of his vessel. And, if weather cor

rendered precarious. If lights al
obscured by a smoke bang or fog,
is the duty of the pilot to Stacker
speed, stop altogether or notify II
owners that it is dangerous to prc
coed. All of this falls upon tn
pilot
Many an enterprise has bee
wrecked because the man at tn
wheel failed TO consider obstru
tons and smoke banks, or becau
he had not familiarized himse
with the channel, Just recently
number OF institutions were wrecl
ed because they failed to take ad

WIRELESS X rnr GREAT WAR

In wars of the nineteenth century
an army spent much time in trying
to cut out an enemy's telegraph and
telephone wires. To break the
transmission of dispatches today il
practically impossible, thanks to Mr..
Marconi. and his co-inventors.
Do you realize that the two allies
against Germany and Hung
airy, France and Russia, are proba-
bly, in constant touch every hour, in
deed. eevry minute, of the day or
night?
They can talk right over Ger
many. Moscow and Paris can CO.
operate perfectly. Probably Gene
raj Joffre and Grand Duke Nichola-
ievitch know each of them what the
others forces are doing from hour
to hour.
An incident of the Balkan war
shows the remarkable possibilities of
the wireless. The allies bottled -p
Adrianop1e, holding all roads to Con-
stantinople. But in the city was a
rs k. W. Marconi wireless telegraph
station of the portable type. At no
time did the station fail, and IN the
course of the siege more than $780,
600 words were transmitted to head
quarters without a hitch.
The allies attempted to stifle the
station by placing wireless outfits TO
the east and west OF Adrianople. but
their attempts to liam" the Turk
ish signals was I'm vain.
The usefulness of the wireless
was also shown In the recall OF Ger
tain ships at sea at the outbreak oil
the present war. One ship wai
brought back after she had proceed.
ed within two days journey oil
Europe, and thus was saved from
capture by an enemy.
Many small craft have been siezet
because they were at sea at the out
break of hostiEties and had no wire
less. The effect of this experience
Will undoubtedly be the cause of a
wide use of air communications. as

AN EXPRESSION OF OPINION

To the Citizens of Ocala:
l hate to be grumible box, but
want to express my opinion on the
subject of public construction no.
tice that there is being a great deal
of money put in the constructing of
new high school building and over
hauling the primary school build
ing. The constructing of the new
high school building l think perfect
ly necessary but as to the addition
to the primary school want the
public to stop and give it a good
thought. Is there not enough room :?
If there is not there is certainly
room to spare at the new high
school which is now under construc-
ton. Also in addition to this the
people along the road to the school
buildings are being forced to put
down cement sidewalks whether or
not they are able to pay for them.
The way / understand it is, IL the
people are not able TO pay for it
the city goes ahead and puts them
down and leaves it to the owners OF
the property to pay for them, but
If the owner is not able to raise the
amount required the city makes the
owner pay for it out of his property.
Do you think this is right? Are the
children going TO school now any
better than those that went to school
UP at the old high school? They
had no cement sidewalks to walk on.
Of course we would like to see the
children have them but there is no
use to take a persons property
away from him because he is not
able to have then put down. There
is just couple more things ] would
like to mention. Where is a park
for us to go and rest on Sundays and
hot afternoons? There is one park
here by the fire station which is, OF
course, too small. Now Just one
more thing, for the enjoyment Of
the young boys and girls How about
"a Y. VI. c. A. and a Y. w. c. A.
Can't we afford them and cut out
some of the sidewalk and school
house business. Please give all this
a good sincere thought, and oblige,
A Friend

BATTLEF|ELDS
OF BELGIUM
OPINION OF AN AMERICAN MIL
ITARY EXPERT
Capital is OF Little Strategic Con-
sequence-ExcelIent Work is Be
ing Done by the Belgian Amateur


London, August 21.-An Ameri-
can military expert, reviewing the
situation in Belgium. said last
night:
Il left Brussels today, and there
was a good deal of agitation there
as the people thought that the Ger
mans were very near and that there
had been fighting at Tirlemont. A
good many refugees had come in
from Tirlemont and Louvain
THE people kept quiet, though
they were filled with suspense about
the Germans. The impression was
that the Germans, after making a
reconnaissance in force and scouting
the country north of Brussels with
cavalry, were about to advance in
force on Brussels.
THE population has been told by
the iburgmaster that If the Germans
came, they should remain indoors,
and go on as far as possible with
their usual vocations.
Brussels is an undefended city,
days, every important street leading
out of town has been barricaded and
trenches have been dug in the out
skirts with barbed wire entangle-
ments in front of them. These de-
lenses are intended only for protec-
ton against cavalry raids. They
would be futile against any attack
in force
ANY battle for the possession Of
Brussels will be found in the direc-
tion of Wavere and Louvain. If the
Germans take Brussels, it does not
mean military setback for the al
lies, beyond the sentimental effect,
and the opinion in Brussels was that,
owing to the French success in Al
SAGE and the check the German
right wing has suffered in Belgium,
something must be done which
would at least have the form of sue
cess.
Belgian officers are warning the
people not to attempt reprisals, be-
cause that would bring reprisals
upon them. You can hear any kind
OF rumor in Brussels. and if the
Germans are determined to attack
in force, Brussels will be taken un-
less the allies decide to resist.
J. The Germans have been using
their cavalry with great audacity
and sometimes with more audacity
than success. They have sent cav
airy as scouts in all directions and
some reported battles have been no
more than reconnoisances in force.
They are either aiming to cover
their flank by these continuous
threats, or they are attempting to
ascertain the Belgian position with
the view of attacking in force
'Honors are with the Belgians in
these comfbats. Their bicycle corps
have responded instantly to alarms.
The country is wholly unsuited to
Reconnaissance, as it is cut with
hedges and sunken roads. There is
barely a field of ten acres that would
permit of a charge.
'Using telephones, which, with
automobiles, have become such inn
portant adjuncts of war, the Bel
gians are able to give the alarm in
stantly, when Germans have appear
ed. Bicycle corps are directed to
the point and lying in concealment
catch the Germans with deadly fire,
