Sure Way Will Be Found.

81 feel sure that some way will be
discovered here by your Federal Re
serve Board and the Secretary of the
Treasury, and there is no doubt that
eventually the balance of trade will
again be in your favor. In the months
to come England will be buying Ameri-
can wheat and cotton. 1t probably will
not cancel the sum owed in a few
months, but it is bound TO come in
time. In the meantime arrangements
may be made so that you will not be
embarrassed and yet England will be
assured that her money will be forth
coming when wanted"
Sir George repeated that he believed
the London Stock Exchange would re-
open in short time, adding that he
thought it probable that the New York
exchange would be opened about the
same time. His government, he said,
was preparing to prevent the calling Of
loans on securities that might ordi-
narily be expected to accompany the
resumption Of Stock Exchange business
and with such a guarantee he thought
there was little to stand in the way of
a reopening. He does not expect to
see the New York exchange opened be-
fore that in London.
Sir George declared that he did not
believe American cotton growers
needed to fear that English manu-
facturers would buy Egyptian cotton IN
preference to American cotton.
"The Egyptian cotton is not used for
the same grade OF manufactured
goods" he said. at present the Eng
li5h mills probably have a suAicien:
supply on hand for a few months.
They are naturally not anxious TO buy,
however, unless they are sure that cot
ton has reached the bottom price.
The margin of profit in cotton is too
small TO warrant such risks.
soon Must Buy Cotton.
"If YOU succeed in taking care OF the
surplus crop have no doubt that you
will see the English mills in the mar
kct again quickly. | suppose tho cot
ton exchanges in New York and New
Orleans will open again shortly II the
plan Of the Federal Reserve Board foT
a $3.50, 200, 900 Joan fund goes through.
Then think the Liverpool Exchange
will follow. With cotton selling again
there is bound to be an improvement IN
conditions, and some of the balance
against you will be wiped out of exist
encc."

the town is hardly recognizable for
three or four days or a week. But
it has a quick relapse and does not

some one a year later and the at

Why not clean up and stay clean?
Nearly every town in Florida would

who ornament the grocery front would
come to appreciate 1t and brag about
it-and the result would be a boost,
an advertisement. 1t would be so un-
usual in Florida that the reputation
would spread far and fast.
But civic pride should not be con-
fined to appearances. without neg
lecting them, it should extend to the
healthfulness Of the town. Good san
itation is about the first step toward
securing general healthfulness, and in
many places the local health author

abundant supply OF good water is the
fault OF man in ALMOST every part of

Man has neglected his, and either
mere negligence or criminal careless

the chances for even normally good

Florida, in proportion to it's popu-

year through, than any other state in
the Union. A good many of these
visitors every year are making their
first trip to this part Of the South
land, and how many of them are not
disappointed by their first glimpses?
A very large share of the railroad
stations in Florida, in the big cities
and the little ones alike, are about
the most uninviting spots in town.
Broken boxes and barrels, pieces Of
lumber, bits of orange peel or sugar

of more or less disgusting refuse are

are the front yards to our cities and
they should be made attractive. They

ARMY OFFICER
RELATES BATTLE
GERMAN CAPTAIN GIVES A DE-
SCRIPTIoN OF A FIGHT ON THE
EAST PRUsSIAN FRONTIER.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, Nov. 2s-Newspaper CORE
Spondents, as is wel1-known, have
seen almost nothing of the ectual
lighting in this war, but on the Ger
man side, there Is now one account
of a battle written by one of the
men who watched it from the head
quarters of the commanding general
himself. This was a recent engage
nent fought on the East Prussian
frontier in Russia. and ii was de-
scribed by Captain Schickert, the war
correspondent of the Berlin Loka1 An
zeiger. What he saw from the OBJ
Servation post Of General Won Morgen
is thus reported:
1.-The battlefield was spread out be-
fore us like a panorama. A slightly
rolling plain stretched away toward
forests on the horizon. We could
clearly see the movements of the in
fantry in a depression to our right.
Making good use of the covering at
hand, a battalion was moving forward
to reinforce it's rif1emen, whose thin
battle line was only just visible
through our field glasses. 1t advanced
in closed formation at double quick
across the back of the ridge. How
important this movement was just at
this moment was shown by the burst
ing or Russian Shrapnel over that
ridge, but some time after our men
had crossed it. Just like on drill
said his exceIency with a smile.
But the Russian artillery needs to
be closely watched. "A call from the
Y. Regiment was announced from the
telephone. The commander asks for
artillery support as the Russian en-
trenchments have proved too strong
to be taken by infantry From a booth
in another shelter pit, where the COM
mander of the division to which the
regiment belonged had taken his posi-
ton, we heard Captain Oestereich give
the telephone order to change the aim
Then he rushd to the nearest field
telescope to watch the bursting point
of the first shot fired at the new point.
After that he sprang back into the pit
and shouted: Twenty shorter With
rapt attention We watched with our
glasses the further developments and
saw how the shrapnel explosions
moved closer and closer to the south
ern edge of the village, almost obscur-
ing it with their smoke. His excel
Iency looked at his watch. Just eleven
he remarked, almost lunch time We
saw the ring of German rif1emen
drawing UP closer and closer around
the village.
"a good quarter of an hour later a
voice shouted from the telephone pit:

PENALTY
If WAR TAX IS
NOT PAID TODAY
ALL BUSINESS COMING UNDER
THE NEW MEASURE MUST Sc
CURE LICENSE OR PAY SO PER
CENT AS PENALTY.

| At midnight tonight, all men, in
| dividuaIs, firms and corporations IL
able for the special revenue tax being
| collected by the commissioner of in
| ternal revenue, under the act of Oc-
| tober %, 1914, who have not made
their returns, and paid as required by
! the act, will be in the class of those
| to whom is added so per cent pen
atty for failure, or neglect or forget
fulness, or because of any other ex-
cuse they may offer.
The United States government is
never the plaintiff in a suit to compel
payment of license tax. The govern
ment just seizes and sells property
covered by the tax, and then if the
party is dissatisfied he may bring the
suit for redFess-and the burden Of
proof is on him.
In the meantime, Uncle Sam has got
his money, and he generally manages
to hold 1t.
Positively the adhesive stamp tax
must be paid before midnight Monday,
November 80, by all the following:
Brokers of all kinds, proprietors of all
theaters, museums, concert halls, cir
cuses, and all places of amusement not
otherwise named in the act proprie-
tors of bowling alleys and billiard
rooms, commission merchants, dealers
in manufactured tobacco in any and
all shapes, and dealers in tobacco leaf.
Collector Making Preparations.
The Office of the collector at jack
sonville will remain open unN mid
night for the receipt of returns, and
the mail will be taken from the post
office at midnight so that all who de-
posted returns in time for reaching
in with those who have paid.
Many other taxes, beside the adhe-
sive stamps required of the above, will
become due and payable after mid
night of that day, as for instance, a
one cent stamp on all tickets sold for
passage to a foreign country, and a
stamp on all telephone messages cost
ing certain amount and over and a
stamp on all papers offered for record
to clerk of court, except mortgages
and other securities for debt.
Chewing Gum Tax.
The chewing gum tax begins Tues
day, and the ruling of the commits
sioner is that the gum must be sold
from it's original stamped container,
and not transferred to some orna-
mental jar or vessel for display and
sale.
Collector Lewis said that yesterday
was a busy day in his office for hun
dreds poured in to square themselves
with the government, and he wishes
every man due a tax to pay by Mon
day, midnight, as he does not want to
be compelled to penalize any one in
his district. He notifies all, however, |
that he has absolutely no option in
the matter, and will follow the re- |
Quirements of the act to the letter.

AN EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER.
A man OF singular and striking char
acteristics was the captain" the big
man." the "old man." or cap. Welles, -
the various terms by which he was
Familiarity and affectionately known
among his friends. A man of wealth
himself, whose business dealings were
largely with other men of wealth, 1t
was a notable fact that his closest
friends, and those with whom he most
loved to associate, were men of the
humber stations of life, so far at least
as material things are concerned. An
incident may serve to illustrate his hold
upon these men.
AS was we'll known, Capt. Welles
loved to hunt, to train his dogs, to
drive his horses, and he always had
company upon his hunting trips, and
in the events of the racing circuit It
was a notable fact as well that he
seldom invited a rich man to share as
his guest these sports of track and
field. Asked one day why he seldom
invited his wealthy business friends to
accompany him, he replied:
why should I? These men have
the means themselves for enjoying life.
There are other just as good men who
have no such means of their own. I
like their company, and I prefer to
enjoy with those men the things that
both of us like and which I can afford.
but which they have not the money to
enjoy by themselves
This remark was so characteristic
of Capt. T. E. WelIes that it perhaps
explains in part the great tribute which
the people of his adopted city paid
him yesterday when his mortal re-
mains were consigned to the grave.
