HOLD ON TIGHT.

Now comes the Belgian commission
to call on President Wilson to tell the
head of the Nation of alleged German
cruelties in the Great War now going
on in Europe.
simultaneously comes a wave OF
protest and counter-charges of al
legged atrocities by Belgians from
the Germans with scores of protests
from German-American societies and
individuals against receiving the
Belgium delegation; and a request
that if the Belgians are received the
German side of the question also be
listened to.
A delicate situation this. Delicate
not only to the President, but to ev-
cry American. And each American
should take the stand Woodrow Will
son has taken. The President out of
courtesy will receive the Belgians.
Out of true American fairness he is
willing to listen to the German.
So with you and l. Let us listen
courteously to all; and be fair. Let
us remember that, if there be atroci-
ties, in the trial of every army fol-
lows the scum and riff-raff-men
never seen on the firing line who
skulk in the rear, who rob and burn
and rape. And that these men are
hated and feared by the men they
sneak behind more than they hate or
fear the enemy in front.
The United States are neutral in
this war. Then let us be neutral in
our opinions and our words to others.

THE RAILROADS COMPLAINT.

The railroads cry out that adverse
public opinion and the war are ruin
ing them. Particularly, do they cry
for clemency from the attitude of the
public.
The pendulum has merely swung to
the other extreme Tritely, this is an
age of efficiency. A business, mis-
managed for years, does not fit into
the demands of this time. 1t is the
pinch of getting down to an efficient
basis that brings the cry from the
railroads.

COOK WILL
STATE HIS CASE
Arctic Explorer Will Speak to the
People of Ocala at the Temple
This Evening

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, one of the
only two white men who can claim
ever seeing the North Pole, will be
at the Temple, in the Chautauqua
course, this evening, and it will be
a misfortune to anyone in Ocala to
miss seeing and hearing him.
DR.. Cook has been for more than
four years telling the American pub
lie his story, about how he did reach
the pole, and the attempt made by
Rear Admiral Peary to discredit him,
in the eyes Of the world. His only
reason for being on the lecture plat
form is to tell the people his side of
the story. The press of the entire
world has been deceived, by press
men, representing the Peary inter-
ests, into printing distorted stories
about the claims of DR.. Cook. Many
people now think that the entire
question of who did discover the
North Pole has been settled. Cook
has appeared before the public and
told his story. the voters of the coun-
try, from every state in the Union,
have sent in petitions to their con-
gressmen and senators calling for an
investigation of the claims offered by
DR.. Cook, and to find who is behind
the controversy that followed the re-
turn of the two explorers.
A bill. calling for this investiga-
ton, will reach the floor of the SEN
ate soon If the bill goes through,
and they do investigate the claims of
DR.. Cook, it will settle finally, and
for all time, who did discover the
North Pole. Contrary to the reports
sent out by the .Peary press bureau,
Mr.. Peary is not recognized by the
y. S. government as the "discoverer
of the North Pole" and the only so
ciety that ever said that Peary did
reach the pole was the National
Geographical Society A society, be-
cause of its large sounding name is
| misunderstood. This society is not
national organization. 1t has no
connection with the government. 1t
has been supporting the expeditions
/ of Mr.. Peary for twenty years, and
| naturally it said he reached the
pole. But the same men when they
appeared on the congressional COM
| mittee, before Mr.. Peary was retired,
| admitted that in the Peary proofs
| there was no proof, SO although Mr.
Peary was retired, he was denied his
| claimed title of ''diseoverer of the
, North Pole
| Dr.. Cook, in his lectures and in his
| book, My Attainment of the Pole -
| makes some very serious charges
| against Mr.. Peary. These charges
| should be either proven or DR. Cook
| should be put in jail For more than
| four years Dr. Cook has been max
ing these charges against man who
| has been retired from the American
navy with honors. If these charges
are true, the American navy has no
| FldIt lOI SuSH Tic SdIIC IL
they are not true, why allow any
man to be assaulted.
DR.. Cooks lecture is illustrated by
100 slides, made on the trip He is
an interesting talker, and even tho
| some people do not believe IN his
| claims, they should hear his story of
| the hardships encountered on his
| trip, and about the Eskimo and an
imal life near the pole.

IS COMING
INTO HIS OWN
Continued from First Page

terms of praise, Peary told the truth
about the man.
Dr. Frederick A Cook certainly
did incur a whirlwind of abuse, but
cut OF it all he now emerges calm,
serene telling his simple story of
hardship, suffering. hunger and final
success. Americans would like to be
fair, and in the end l think We are.
DR.. Cook is coming into his own.
Peary and Cook both attained the
Pole. They are the only men who
have, and the attempt has been made
of and on for three hundred years.
Peary was born in Pennsylvania
Cook. in New York-both Ameri-
cans.
We are proud of them.

HAD
GOOD SUNDAY CROWDS
was Large. Entertain
nent was Excellent and Audi
ence was Appreciatiye

Sunday was the best day so far at
the Chautauqua. The house was
crowded and all the features were
enjoyed by these present.
The vesper service. was a very fine
one, and all who attended confessed
that they wouldn't have missed it
for anything. The music was splen-
did, and the addresses were instruct
i've and inspiring.
julius Caesar Nayphes presenta-
ton of the 23rd Psalm was a noble
one. All who heard this gifted
speaker were charmed and enlight-
ened. 1t is to be hoped that he will
pass this way again.
The freewill offering was gener-
Gus, and greatly encouraged the
brave ones who have been standing
in the breach. 1t proved that Ocala
may be as busy as Martha, but Ocala
is also generous.
The program for this week is
good And two evenings will be alb
solutely great.
One is this evening, when DR..
Cook, one of the two white men who
have been TO the extreme north, will
tell how he tied the Stars and
Stripes to the pole. To see and hear
such man is an opportunity that
comes once in life time to average
people.
The other will be the orchestra
comique at the Temple Wednesday
evening.
The orchestra will be good because
it will be rendered by home folks. 1t
would be good if it was rendered by
strangers. So it will be doubly good.
1t will catch you coming and going,
so don't try to get out Of the way.

evening and the days following

DR.. Hammann is the kaiser's war
censor. He is chief of the bureau
which gives out the official bulletins
of the war. Germans have confidence
in him. They believe he is giving the
public only accurate news. They
cite the fall of Maubeuge, France, as
case in point This city was re-
ported captured by the Germans, but
the French press bureau did not adj
nit it, and report gained wide cir
culation that the forts were still hold
ing out Later it was admitted that
the town had fallen, thus confirming
the Berlin report.

NO DECISIVE RESULT
REACHEDAT ANY POINT
Austrian Report Of Conflicts
Now in Progress.

Vienna, via Rome, Oct, -Four 81
gantic battles and two fort lombard
ments, involving fully 100000 men,
are in progress in the eastern theater
of war.
At no point has there been any de-
cisive result and it will be several
days before the fighting will reach a
crisis.
General Rennenkampf, with 1;000,-
900 Russian troops, is endeavoring to
resist General Won Hindenberg's eff
forts to cross the Niemen between
Drussenkenrie and Grudenkno, in
Russian Poland. The fighting along
this line is of the most severe charac-
ter. Up to the present it has been i'm
possible for the Germans to break
through. ..-... ..
Another German army is engaged
with 100000 Russians in the big pine
forest of Augustowo, which is twenty
four miles long and thirty-fve miles
broad and is filed with small lakes
and a canal that connects the Niemen
and the Vistula. This German army
was driven from the village Of Angus
toWo and is now being used to pro-
tect Hindenberg's flank and rear.
The great Russian central army I'M
der the direct command of the COM
mander-in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholas,
is made up Of 100000 fresh troops,
who have been modified in Russian
Poland to move against the main Ger
man army, which has been feverishly
fortifying the entire line of the Sile-
sian frontier. &c.. .- -.
= Big Battle Predicted.
This force was in contact with the
German advance guard, which has
been pushed forward to protect the
lines of communication to CracoW.
This fight, now little more than a
skirmish, is expected to develop into
the greatest battle Of the war in the
east. as the German troops engaged
are those who were withdrawn from
the " est to try to stop the Russian
advance.
There are 100000 to 100000 Rus
slams IN Galicia moving in two paral-
lei lines. The northern column, which
had envelOped Przemysl, has now
completed the investment of TarnoW,
fly miles east Of Cracow. The fall
Of Tarnow is feared here, as the Rus
SLAMS far outnumber the Austrian gar
rison and there are no good reasons
for trying to hold the city, as the
troops that would be needed there
will be of far greater value in era
COW. ....
The second Galician army, ,travers.
ing the southern line and overfiowing
to the passes of the Carpathian noun
tains, captured Krosno after despe-
rate resistance by the Austrians.
The combined German-Austrian ar
mics in the theater of war do not
number 100000, including all re-
servists, while the Russians have
more than 100000 already on the
scene. Yet at no point have the Rus
slams scored a distinct victory since

WHAT TO TALK.

Did it ever occur TO you, sisters, how
prone we ale to talk of the troubles
and worries of every day life, rather
than of happiness and the sunny side Z
Did you ever think in recalling a con-
-crsation with friend how little was
talked of outside of household worries,
children's ailments. sickness and
death2 Did you ever after spending
an Afternoon making calls"-take an
inventory OF your different CONVERSE
tions and find they were mostly given
over to commiserating and sympa-
thizing with your own and eyerybody's
troubles and that you would have
been happier had you staid at home 7
1t is true saying, that bad news
travels quickly. Did you ever tele-
phone to Mrs. A, that Mrs. B. had
gone into tie hospital, to undergo an
operation and ffeei disa ppointed when
YOU found that Mrs. A. already knew
it and YOU we're not the first TO con-
yey the tad news? When you hear
of death, ISN'T your first thought to
telephone some friend about it, and
what for? Simply the morbid salts
faction Of hearing the shocked ex-
cIamation sit the other end Of the
line. II We were to hear that friend
had fallen heir to fortune. we would
be glad for him. but might possibly
forget to mention it quickly; when II
we heard that this friend had lost a
fortune. il would be our sad and NOR
bid pleasure to talk about it, 10 feel
sorry ard to give him our absent
sympathy. And what good does all
this talk do? 1t doesn't tighten a
burden. or smooth a wrinkle and it
wouId seen, that unless we can relieve
trouble by talking about it, We had
best keep silent. Again. with some
OF Us there is certain morbid enjoy
ment in feeling sorry for ourselves;
certain happy resignation in feeling

that we are nervous and unStrung,
and cannot stand what our neighbors
do; that our children are notas strong
as other children and demand our
every care: that we, in fact, are
MARTYRS and we love to tell II, and
this inclination to talk of our unhap-
DIV condition is harbored until it be-
comes a habit; and this habit becomes
a conceit, until we honestly feel that
there is nothing worth talking OF out
side of our own health and daily fam
1 lily trials. This inclination toward
morbid conversation, is state OF
mind that is growing upon the women
of today, and neither the church, the
club, or even the suffrage movement
seems to lessen the love of this deplor-
able habit. 1t is true we live in an
age of sensation. The accidents aid
tragedies that occur about us tend 20
make our thoughts dwell upon tie
cloudy side Of line ard we forget to
talk about the silver lining and be
! glad for it. So it may not be our
fault that we have drifted into this
habit; but it is in ourselves to guard
against it, to try to rise above unhappy
conditions that wecannot change and
to enjoy and talk about the pleasant
things that t:ome 30 w.. There Is al
ways the sunshine and the shadows
J in this earthly existence. Let us
gather the brightness and look for
the places that are smooth and clear.
Let us try to harbor sunny memories
and happy thoughts. Let us renem-
Der all the good things that come to
us and above ali let us talk about
them and forget our troubles.

enough without your woes.

is well with you,
AND God shall hear your words and

THE LAND CLEAR
ING INDUSTRY,
People Coming TO the Northern Counties
Who Desire u .-. ;. Contracts.

That land clearing will become an
industry in the upper Wisconsin COIN
ties has now become apparent. Hen
| ry Setchan of Rhinelander has enter ed
the business and has contracts to clear
800 acres. In other portions of the
north some people have started con-
tracting, but Mr.. Setchan has more
work on hand than any others thus
far reported.
In times past, when the land own
ers advertised upper Wisconsin as the
"poor mans opportunity very few
people of means came to the upper
country. Recently the new system
of publicity originated by the Wis
consin Advancement association has
called TO upper Wisconsin many people
of considerable means, and many of
these people prefer to let contracts for
clearing. This increases employment
for those who need to work out por
tion of the time while building up
their homes.
Probably the biggest movement in
clearing will be under the law passed
by the last legislature permitting
counties to lend their credit for this
purpose. Rusk county has started
under this plan and others will follow.
