VICTOR lNNES AGAIN BEFORE
THE ATLANTA COURTS

Special to Ocala Banner:
Atlanta, Oct. 27.-Marshall helms,
brother of the two young women who
disappeared so mysteriously several
months ago. appeared before Solicitor
Dorsey today to lay before him such
evidence as he has against Victor E.
Innes, accused of the murder of the
two girls.
The only ground upon which Innes
can be indicted in Atlanta is conspir-
acy, as it is now shown that the MUIR
der, if there was a murder, was com
mitted in Georgia. An effort is being
made to induce the government to
take hand in securing an indictment
here, which would result in bringing
Innes and his wife from Texas.

AMERICAN FASHIONS FOR THE
STAGE

Popular Marie Cahill, originator O
the long-skirted chorus, will give prac
| t1cal help to the American fashion
movement by wearing American de
signed and made gowns upon. the
stage. 1t has long been a recognized
fact that stage gowns are regarded
as exhibits of the very latest fashions
| and many theater-goers adopt the cos
tunes seen there to their own needs
and wardrobes. Miss Cahill believes
that American designers are ready
for their present opportunity. But,
she says, they must creep before they
can walk. They should realize the ne
cessity for going slowly. If the Amer
lean hurry germ gets into their sys-
TENS artistry will be sacrificed for
freakishness and their efforts will be
ridtculed instead of praised. Our
clothes must be artistic. We have
taken all that Paris has sent us re-
CARELESS of whether it was freakish
or not, and-Td be the last person to
say that all of the French fashions
are admirable. We have given Paris
to understand that only she could de-
sign clothes. The more frequently she
changed styles the more often we
bought. What's the answer? She has
outdone herself in attempting to Gre
ate bizarre effects-this seasons
clothes had to be as different as pos
sible from those in vogue last season.
Which means that in order to keep
up to date we had to change our ward
robe every time the weather chang
ed. The amazing thing is that Amer
lean designers have accomplished SO
much with so little announcement.
They have had to endure a slavish
alteration of Paris that amounted to
nothing less than snobbishness."
The stage can do much to procure
the cause of American fashions, says
Miss Cahill, 'for the stage is a factor
in setting the styles. Women wear
what they see worn, and in my pro-
duction hope, in small way, to en-
courage the American designers eff
forts. / hope to show what the Amer
lean designer can do if he is given
half chance"

THE TWO OPPOSING SIDES
The German View
(By Hugo Won Kleist)

Wy IIuSO NOu AISISIJ
Americans cannot form an unbiased
opinion or judge fairly from cable re-
ports the daily developments of this
war until the present British censor
ship is altered. Big problems have
been presented to American news
agencies by interrupted cables and
foreign press censors. Press censor
ship in England is at variance with
all ideas of fair play, a fact appre-
ciated by all save those few on the
censorship desk. Every cablegram
for America must pass a British or
an allied censor.
The French censorship is admitted
ly dominated by the English. No one
can question the right of the British
to maintain a vigorous censorship,
but the present organization does not
censor news. 1t simply suppresses it.
Despite the best efforts and the most
ingenious schemes of American news
America is filtered through anti-Ger-
man channels. 1t requires no partisan
bias to force one to the conclusion
that Germany's side of such matters
as the reported atrocities in Belgium
must be heard before fair judgment
can be reached by neutral Americans
Even though one may have doubts
of Germany's ability to explain away
some of the charges lodged against
her armies nothing more is required
than a spirit of fair play to prompt
a protest against condemnation under
the Lynch law being practiced by the
British censorship which would per-
nit the world to hear only the indict-
ment without word of defense from
Germany.

(By Alfred w. Bryce

(By Alfred w. Bryce
Much more repehensible in the eyes
of the nations than the footing and
pillaging of the troops, should stand
the national actions of the German
people-the teachings in Germany
which preceded this war. The people
of Germany were taught that they
alone were right, that their cause
alone had Gods sanction. This was
an atrocity greater than any little in
dividual atrocity of the war could
possibly be. 1t made the war itself
atrocious beyond redemption at the
bar of the worlds opinion, for it tine
tured it and saturated it with senti.
ments that were wicked and inhuman
and even worse.
Since the outbreak of the war re-
ports of the discovery of unusual fac
tories with heavy concrete founda-
tons have come from many places.
After the fall of Maubeuge it was
found that the Germans had used the
concrete foundations for their AZ
centimeter howitzers and it was then
recalled that Germans had bought
property in the neighborhood two
years ago and announced that they in
tended to start several big factories.
Heavy foundations were laid, but the
buildings were discovered in one of
the suburbs of Antwerp, which is in
habited principally by Germans.
According to several wounded Brit
ish soldiers in the American Women's
Hospital at Paignaton, the discovery
was made of concrete gun bases near
err Paris than German army got in
Gen. Won Kluck's advance.
They explain this in the same way
as the finding of concrete bases before
Namur and near Sissons, saying it
is believed that the Germans bought
or rented certain stretches of land
years before the war and then got
exact measurements of the ranges
which is the reason their artillery fire
was so accurate.
Can a war for which nation stead
lily and Systematically prepares be an
unexpected conflict into which it was
forced against it's wishes?

TURKEY AND THE WAR

Turkey is the tenth nation in the

dissolution, and if Germany is defeat
ed it will mean the last of the Otto
man Empire in Europe, and perhaps
the complete extinguishment OF the
empire.
In the order named, Greece, Rou-
mania, Italy and Bulgaria are invited
to the fray by Turkey. Greece has

! cannot endure a Turkish reoccupa-
ton of Egypt-part of the bait held
out to Turkey by Berlin. Turkeys
action, therefore, may strain to the
breaking-point the neutral purpose Of
the Roman Cabinet.
Without a fleet that can come out
of the Dardanelles, Turkey cannot at
tack Greece or Roumania except
across Bulgaria. It is commonly
thought that Bulgaria must aid Tur-
key against Servia and Greece. But
Balkan statesmen are practical men;
Bulgaria is quite capable of postpon-
ing her revenge upon her neighbors
if convinced that bigger scraps OF
broken meat will fall from the table
of the allies. The Balkan alliance
might be reformed; the allies have
left no effort in that direction untried
If Austria-Hungary can be overrun,
the new readjustments that would be
possible might be enough to induce
Servia and Roumania to give back the
territory they took from Bulgaria in
the second Balkan war.
Even if Bulgaria sides with Turkey,
the land forces added on the German
side would only cancel out against
Italy and Roumania. II Bulgaria goes
with the allies, the balance of added
strength will be heavily the other
way and may endanger the very ex-
istence of Austria-Hungary as great
power. Why. then. has Germany en-
ticed her ally into the war?
No answer is possible except that
the plump and amiable Mohammed

HOW AERoPLANEs DIRECT FIRE

A letter from a French officer pub
lished in the Gazette de Sausanne,
tells of the wonderfully effective work
done by the German aircraft, and
the system by which they signal to
German artillery the location of the
French troops. "We would never
have believed that the German flying
machines were so numerous" he
writes. "Swarms of them have dis
covered our positions. When one was
brought down by our guns, five others
appeared that flew higher-out of
range.
"These bird machines drop red
balls and our soldiers Immediately
fall down fiat when they see one COM
ing, to guard against the effect of an
explosion. The only thing that hap
pens, however, is that a small pillar
of white smoke rises into the air. But
few minutes later veritable hail
storm of shrapnel and bombs en-
velope us.
"The dropping Of these smoke
bombs signals to the German artillery
the location of our troops. The red
balls are visible at a great distance
and the pillar of smoke gives them
the exact range. The idea is clever
one and has resulted in great execu-
ton among our troops, for the Ger
man artillery aims and shoots with
deadly accuracy"

The Tampa Tribune says that the
Confederate reunion at Lakeland is
pronounced the most successful and
enjoyable ever held in Florida. The
more we recede from the war the
more pleasant these gatherings are

rancor or bitterness. Next year il
will have been full fifty years since
Appomattox and the reunions viii

The Kansas City times says: mo
body is trying to have the United
States compete with European nations
in armament. All that is insisted on
is that an adequate navy be main
tanned ineffective condition, and that
provision be made for an efficient, if
small, army. The country knows
from a member of Mr.. Wilson's own
administration that the navy is in no
sort of shape, and there is plenty of
evidence that the army needs build
ing up. There is no danger in the
world that so peaceful a nation as the
United States would ever start a war
OF aggression. 1t is certain that if it
maintains a modest, but efficient, ar
mament it never win be attacked"
The Washington Star Ond), says:
CAS- for the democratic congressional
candidates, they are all merged in
the president. He is the issue. Those
who win will owe their success to
him, and will be expected to acknowl-
edge their Indebtedness when the next
congress meets. Another democratic
house will probably show the same
degree of team work that this house
has shown under the guiding reins
of Mr.. Wilson. On the other hand,
a republican house-which does not
now look likely-will probably show
disaffections in the democratic ranks
as early even as next winter. The
president will be charged with the
disaster; and those who have not in
their hearts approved of the new
leadership, but have accepted it as
matter of party necessity, will be
tempted to find their tongues and
voice their complaints

RED CROSS XMAS SEAL SALE
WILL START IN DECEMBER

Following the publicity health work
! of the state federation of women's
clubs the national association for the
study and presentation of tuberculosis
has just organized the Red Cross seal
commission of Florida. The object of
the commission is to fight the white
plague in the state and as a first stem
in this direction it is centering it's at
tention upon the coming sale of Red
Cross seals during December.
The seal formerly issued by the
women's clubs has been discontinued
| and all forces will join in selling the
American Red Cross Christmas seal.
which will be sold in every state in
| the union.
Last year forty-four millions of
these little messengers of good health
were sold in the country at / cent
each, yielding over 100000 for the
anti-tuberculosis campaign. Ninety
per cent of the proceeds of the sale in
Florida will remain in the state to be
used in the fight against tuberculosis.
10 per cent being returned to national
headquarters to pay for the printing
and distribution of the seals and adj
vertising material. The amount of
work done by the commission in 1915
will depend largely upon the readi-
ness with which men, women and
children lend their assistance by pur-
chasing the seals.
Mr.. F. c. Grower, chairman of the
newly formed organization in speak
ing of the plans for the sale said:
I'VE expect to have the seals on sale
in every city, village and hamlet in
the state by December. Every COM
mun1ty, no matter how small, will be
given an opportunity to join in this
campaign for better health by using
quantities. of the seals"

the commission will be noted the
