THE TAMPA TRIRCNE.S
MARION COUNTY EDITION

The Marion county edition Of the
Tampa Tribune came TO hand sun
day and very well bore out the ex-
pectations that had been formed OF
IT,
II filed the regular Sunday mag
azine section Of the Tribune. and it
is no more than the truth 10 say
that IL is the best gotten up Marion
county edition ever yet printed by
any paper outside of the county.
1t is not the usual huddle of cuts
and hot-afr write-ups thrown to-
gether at random by men who take
no real interest in their subject and
whose governing motives are hurry
to get thru and get hold of their
money. The Tribune boys put their
hearts into their work and the result
does them credit.
The mechanical work is first class,
and we'll calculated to catch the eye
of the reader and hold his attention.
The Star hopes our people will
order all the extra copies the Tri-
bune has of this edition and send
them abroad. 1t is due the Tribune
men for their good work, and it will
do our county good wherever the
papers are sent.

age of p it is more difficult for
them to learn and after 80 il is

visions today must lead to opportun-
tiles and practical results. That
those who chose the path of wisdom
would find those opportunities right
here in OcaIa as they would in
places thousands of miles away, and
the speaker illustrated his meaning
by quoting from Russell ConwelI's
Chautauqua lecture on Acres of
Diamonds" where a man cold
piece Of land and left the country in
search Of gold. and the parties who
bought the land dug prospector's
shaft on it and opened up the cele-
brated Comstock mine with its mill
ions of gold, the richest mine the
world has ever known. Another man
searching for oil sold his farm and
started for the northwest prospecting
for that commodity, while the new
ownersput down a well and in a lit
tie while was drawing out thousands
of barrels of the crude but valuable
article
The choice of wisdom puts tools
into our hands but not the ability to
use them. Tools in the hands of a
drunken man become dangers, but
with the sober man using them with
for Gods service, and in that service
tho at times we can see little before

The potter starts to make a beau

endless trouble and work and when
the work is near completion he dis
covers a flaw in it that cannot be
remedied so he begins his work over
again, not with another lump of
clay, but with the same clay with
which the imperfect vase was made,
and this time with patience and skill
he turns out a vase that is the adj
miration of all who see it, and so
with us, we make mistakes and there
are flaws and errors in our life and
character, but even as the potter
uses the same clay to make the per-

things
Let us then choose as did Solomon
of old that wisdom that is pleasing

After a long illness, Senator Will
liam 0. Bradley of Kentucky is dead.
He was a man of great popularity
and force of character, as is proven
by his being elected, tho a republi-
can, governor Of the southern dem
ocratic state of Kentucky, and later
representing it in the Senate. He
was 81 years of age. and his death

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE passengers on
the American Line steamer 81. Paul.
which sailed from New York August Z,
arrived at Euston station tonight after
an amusing and somewhat exciting voy-
age. The Duchess Of Marlborough was
one Of the passengers. The liner car
ried 3.949 sacks of mail.
There was the usual alarm about
German cruisers securing the ocean
While these stories were spreading
throughout the ship a school of whales
through which the steamer ploughed
her way caused a report that submarines
had attacked the ship.
on Tuesday there was heavy storm
which made even the most hardy OF the
passengers seasick. While some passen-
gers were watching a huge iceberg on
one side Of the ship a cry was raised
that warship was visible on the other
side. There was an immediate rush to
that side and away In the gray fog a
warship was visible She was appar-
emily headed for the st. Paul.
Just then the liner gave a lurch and
a big wave came aboard. The Duchess
Of Marlborough, various members OF the
British nobility and several commoners
and war correspondents on the liner
went down in one democratic, indescrib-
able mass.
The warship came on toward the 81
Paul and seemed to look her over.
Without so much as even saying good
day" 50 far as known. the Warship
went her way. II Is generally supposed
that the vessel was one Of the English
cruisers which are 80 effectively pa
trolling the North Atlantic lane.
The st. Paul crapt outside the Mer-
sey for nearly twenty-four hours. All
the passengers who had been trans
shipped from the liner Kronprnzessin
Ceciie and those with German OF Aus
irian names were subjected to "A kindly
but rigorous inaulsition and actual Ger
mans and Austrans were detained.

ROTTERDAM. Aug 1.-THE German
military position, as described to me
just before | left the Foreign Office in
Berlin on Thursday, is this:
Rather than surrender Germany il
prepared To fight until every man
capable OF bearing arms Is slain"
The War Office alone knows just how
much the fighting to date along the
lines OF this policy has cost Germany.
1t has cost many men, that much is
known, but the losses have had the
effect only of firing the determination
Of the Kaiser and his advisers that the
German cause shall prevail. AS for the
~pation itself, 1t is calm. Reports OF
anti-war demonstrations are absolutely
untrue.

being printed when ] left Berlin to dc-
company the first trainload OF Ameri-
can refugees to Rotterdam. one or
thes. reports, which was denied at once
by the General Stan. was that the
Germans had taken the French fort
ress of Belfort. The German army was
reported to have driven the French in
Alsace back toward the frontier and
to he holding them In check.
The German Imperial General STAFF
had not expected any serious opposition
in Belgium. The Imperial Chancellor
had promised that Germany would pay
for any damage her troops might cause
in crossing Belgian territory and would
respect Belgium's territorial integrity.
The fighting In Belgium came as a sur
prise. but the Kaiser and the General
STAFF agreed that as Belgium resisted
she must be conquered at any cost.
The existence of an understanding
between France and Belgium is indl-
Gated by the fact that French troops
entered Belgium almost simultaneously
with the Germans.
The German army is going to Paris
That is the one fact in the scheme Of the
campaign which is permitted to be-

an undertaking, but the staff officers

HELD TO BE VIOLATION
OF STRICT NEUTRALITY
No Objection Offered to the

WAshlNdroE, Aug. 1.-THE Wilson
Administration will view with disfayor
the making of any loans to the Euro
pesn bclligerents by American bankers.
Announcement to this effect was made
to-day by Secretary Bryan.
The Administration has no objection
to American bankers making loans to
neutral Governments in Europe but re-
CARDS the lending of money to belliger-
'ns as Inconsistent with the true spirit
Of neutrality.
In accordance with this decision the
State Department informed the Swiss
Charge d'Affaires to-day that this Gov
ernment would make no objection to
American bankers lending money to
Switzerland. This statement was made
in response to an inquiry from the
Swiss Government
