Russia, the unprepared, today pre-

Jacksonville from ST. Petersburg
says: "R. L. West, of the J. B. Nc
Crary Company, was asked for a
statement concerning the meeting on
June 80 and he declared this meeting
to be of vital Importance, meaning as
it does, many hundreds of dollars IN
or out of the pockets of the taxpay-
ers according to whether or not the
present freight rates are reduced.
The rates on sand, brick, lime, cement,
stone and all other road material
which now obtain are inequitable."

Marion county has vast quantity
of roadway material in its own
limits, so it is not as much dependent
on lower freight rate as the other
counties that will be represented at
the Tallahassee meeting of June 80.
Marion, however, is always ready to
help others, which is one of the best
ways in the world to help oneself.
Pinellas county is greatly interested,
as the people down there have to i'm
port nearly all their road-making ma
terial. On the occasion of his recent
visit to OcaIa, W. L. Straub, the dis
tinguished editor of the st. Peters

same in Pinellas. A special to the

The law by which boy or man
can be sentenced to the chain gang
for stealing ride on a train ought
to be repealed. Such law is dis
grace to this state or any other state.
1t is brutal and unjust and is a sur
vival of barbarism. 1t is no crime to
steal ride on a train. Criminals
often ride in this way, but they should
be punished for their real crimes and
mot for stealing passage on train.
1t is the business of the train crew to
see that no one rides free of charge
and to put off the train anybody who
attempts it.-Bronson Times-Demo-

There is much indignation among
some of the leading citizens of the
Park because of a raid made by Off
cials of the sheriff's office Saturday
night. 1t seems that five negroes, all
of them servants Of prominent citi-
zens, were indulging in a little card
game, when the deputy sheriff swoop-
ed down and grabbed them on the
charge of gambling. 1t is evident
that they were vicious gamblers, for
when the bunch was searched the of
ficers found four dimes and two
nickels. They could not be tried be-
fore local officials, but had to be drag
ged to Arcadia, where Judge Bell i'm
posed fines and costs aggregating
$135.35. These fines were all paid by
prominent citizens of Avon Park

Their next stand will be on the lati-

Socialist leaders in the German par
lament made it known Friday in no

They declare their party will give
solid support to their country as long

They will probably have to do their

"Decimateo is derived from Latin
word, which means one in ten. When
a Roman legion mutinied, it was GUS
tomary to punish it by picking out
every tenth man and putting him to
death. The word is being used a
good deal by writer's of the present
war to describe far heavier losses.
An organization that comes off with
the loss of one-tenth of its men in a
battle of this war escapes lightly.

In the Alone valley we are in full
possession of the heights on the right
slope. having occupied Monte Lave

the points dominating the opposite
slope the enemy's artillery attempted
to hinder our operations. but without
success.

struggle continues undated, notwith-
standing a fog which prevents the ar

"On the Carso plateau the battle
continues Our troops advanced along
the whole front with great dash and
boldness, conquering towards the
left wing a strong position on San
Michele commanding the greater part
of the plateau.
"On the right wing, by the perfect
timing of an infantry advance with
the supporting fire of artillery, we
completed at nightfall the conquest
of a position on Monte Del, driving
out inch by inch the enemy who was
strongly entrenched there. We made
about 1920 prisoners, including one
lieutenant and forty-one other off

Then the state may seek to obtain

PEACE PARLEY is PROBABLE
Move to Bring Leaders of Mexican
Factions Together.

Washington, July 29.-Reports of a
new peace move in Mexico attracted
attention in official circles. Advices
received here said that representa-
tives of the various factions in the
southern republic were consulting
their leaders in an effort to bring
about a peace parley with or without
General CarranZa. This move was
said to be in anticipation of final
appeal by the United States to the
faction leaders to compromise their
differences and restore peace In
Mexico.
The United States is said to be con
templating a restoration of the ban
on the export of war munitions to
Mexico as a part of its program to
end hostilities.
