BRYAN { COMPANY
ARE BUSY
OPERATIONS ON OCALA'S NEW
SEWERAGE SYSTEM ARE
GOING RIGHT AHEAD

In company with President Meffert,
of the city council, a Star reporter
this morning visited the locality
where the contractors Bryan & Co.,
of Jacksonville, have commenced work
on the new sewerage system.
The point of beginning is the lot
recently purchased by the city from
the Gary estate, just west of the
Seaboard track and north of West
Adams street. This lot is one of the
lowest points in town and is conse-
quently the best situated for the sep
tic tank. It is big lot and the city
secured it for $1,000, a very reasonable
price.
At least fifty men were at work,
digging bitches and laying pipe and
brick Bryan & Co., of course, had
to bring men to direct the work from
Jacksonville, but they employed as
much Ocala labor as possible. Some
forty Ocala Afro-Americans were busy
and the number will increase as the
work goes on.
The men in charge seem to know
their business, and it looked to the
reporter like they had every stroke
of work put in the right place, so
that no energy should be wasted.
Mr.. W. D. Mccormick, engineer for
the McCreary Co., was present and
explained matters to the reporter. He
said one of the aims of the contrac
tors would be not to tear up any of
the paved streets until after the fair
which policy of course viii meet with
popular approval.
II we could get work started on our
water and electric plants, business in
this town would have an impetus that
would push US all thru next summer
to the normal revival in the autumn
And why can't we? The people have
voted the money for the work and
their wishes should be carried out.

been living at Mucland for the past
year are now occupying Mr.. N. w.
Harison's cottage on the lake. Mr..
Denning will have charge of Mr..
Harison's orange groves here and at
Lake Fay.
The friends of Mrs. r. L. Martin
will be pleased to know she will re-
turn shortly from Jacksonville, where
she has spent several weeks with her
daughter, Mrs. Potter.
Capt. ]. B. Martin has brought
from his farm on the Oklawaha his
hay baling machine and force Of
men to bale the fine beggar weed hay
cut on Mr.. A. w. tongues place, and
several others in the neighborhood.
Friends of Mrs. Henry Vo1kman of
Connecticut are sorry to learn it is
doubtful if she viii be able to return
to Florida this winter with her daugh-
ter, Miss Louise, who have spent the
past fifteen years at their home here
on the lake.
Mr.. Mann has an enrolment of
thirty pupils in the public school and
both pupils and patrons are very
much pleased with his methods of
teaching and discipline.

era of prosperity to US should it be
located here. The members of the COM
mittee are as follows: Messrs. j. M.
Meffert, B. H. Seymour, ]. D. Rooney,
Mrs. William Hooker and Mrs. R. A.
Burford. Our city should rally co
this movement, as we can pay dis
tinct but well merited and just honor
to Mrs. Hooker, the past president of
the Florida Federation of Women's
Clubs, by securing this school and in
showing this honor to this noble wom-
an, the same measure of honor will
also come to our own Woman's Club,
as forming such strong link in the
great chain of achievement. Can
Ocala's manhood and citizenship be
lax now when we have this golden OPP
portunity at our door? We say no.
Then rally to the movement. The
Star will be found in the forefront
working for this school.
The secretary gave a very concise
report of the work being done by the
various committees looking to the en-
tertaining of the veterans in our city
Oct. 9th. 28th and goth, and said that
he believed that Oca1a's old time repu-
tation for hospitality would be even
excelled on this occasion. The full
program will be announced later.

Many men of prominence from the
various boards of county commission

If Presidents Program is Carri-
ed Out
MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE TODAY MAY SAVE US BILLIONS
FOR TRIBUTE TOMORROW
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Congressman James
Hay of Virginia, chairman of the
House military affairs committee, will
confer today on national defense
plans. They will consider chiefly the
proposed policy Secretary Garrison
has outlined for the army. This is
said to provide an increase of the reg
ulars by between $1,000 and 10000
officers and men, and provide for
reserve army of 100000.
The president regards this program
as conservative. The proposed plans
for the army and navy call for an ap-
preparation approximating four hum
dred millions at the next session of
Congress. This would be an increase
Of one hundred and forty million over
the appropriation of the last session.
Indications are that one hundred and
seventy millions will be asked for the
army, and two hundred and forty
eight million for the navy.
PRESIDENT APPROVES OF PLAN
President Wilson approved of Sec
retary Garrison's plan for increasing
the army. It calls for the annual ex-
penditure of one hundred and eighty
four million dollars, which is an in
crease of about seventy-five million.
The plan will be presented to Con-
gress in the approved form with the
administration backing.

War Will be Decided in the
West
BRITAIN AND FRANCE Therefore DUBIOUS ABOUT EXERT
ING THEMSELVES IN THE BALKANS
(Associated Press)

easiness is felt here over the absence
action in the Balkans. This is inteen-
sifed by news of dispute in the
French chamber of deputies regarding
the Balkan danger by Italy's persist
ent silence regarding participation in
any allied expedition and the uncer-
tainty of the British program. Opin-
ion here is divided to some extent as
to the advisability of participating in
the Balkan conflict. Generally, the
opinion is expressed that Britain is
mostly bound to assist Serbia if it can
be done without dangerous attenua-
tion on the main front, where it is felt
the war will finally be decided.
GERMANS MAKE NO GAINS
The Germans, failing in their at
tacks on the British western front,
turned on the French and made slight
gain east of Souchez, of small impor-
tance, however. The assault in the
vicinity of Tapure, started three days
ago, was also materially unproduc-
tive.
TEUToNS LOSING IN THE EAST
On the eastern front the Russians
continue in the initiative. Petrograd
reports, unoficially, that the Germans
now lack ammunition
The fury of the German onslaught
on the Dvinsk line has diminished. No
net gains have been made recently.
Petrograd dispatches assert the Ger
mans are three miles further from
the city than week ago. Officials
and civic and government institutions
are being taken back to Riga and
Dvinsk.

Frank Chance, who sp1aVeds first base alongside of EFefs for years used to say: 'IsWish to< heaven my deaf ear was toward the crab.'' Evers even 'rode'' Chance when Chance was manager. Chance understood ham.

10 GENT BALL DRAWS CROWD 5
 IN BROOKLYN

New York, Aug. 12-Cut rate base ball was inaugurated at the Federal League park in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon and about 2.5OO persons took advantage of it. The most marked change was in the bleachers, which have been drawing very lightly. The price of 10 cents for seats in this section of the field attracted 9s4 per- sons- In the pavilion and in the grand stand there was not such large increase so it was argued that the gain in the bleachers indicated that the low price had attracted an en- tirely new crowd ito the park.
 C1ockers, said to be in the employ of organized baseball, said that the total attendance was 1,511, the distri- button being proportiomed as follows: 507 in the bleachers, 375 in the 25- cent stands, 85 75-cent admissions. 24 in the boxes at $1 each.and 157- passes This, however, much underestinatea the crowd which saw the game.
