the view from the coach windows is

THE HORRORS OF
WAR IN POLAND

Because Belgium is nearer to Il.
and we get much more news from
that unhappy little land, we think
that the chief suffering of the wal
has been endured by those people
but listen to what Henry Sienkie
wicz. one of Poland's foremost citi
zens, the man who wrote Quo Vadis,
says about his country:
'Tn the Kingdom Of Poland alone
there are 1900 villages burned or
damaged; a thousand churches and
chapels destroyed; nine out of ten
provinces occupied by the Germans,
who seized everything, even to the
peasants chickens. The homeless
villagers have sought shelter in the
forests, where il is no exaggeration
to say that women and children are
dying from cold aud hunger by the
thousands daily. The children
raise their fleshless arms and cry to
their mothers for bread. but the
Polish mother has nothing to give
item but tears.
POLAND comprises 125,500 square
kilometers. One hundred thousand
of these have now been devastated
by Austro German troops. More
than a million horses and 100000
head of horned cattle have been
seized by the invaders, and in the
whole of the 100000 square kilo-
meters in the possession of the Aus
tro German troops not a grain of
corn, not a scrap of meat, nor a drop
of milk remained for the civil pop
ulation. The material losses up to
the present are estimated at 1000, :
100000 rubles (s500, 000,000). No
fewer than 100000 workmen have
lost their means of livelihood"

The St. Augustine Record says
there is no law in Florida against
shootin. buzzards; the Miami Herald
finds in section 1888 of the revised
statutes protection to that bird
against slaughter. Which is right?
Meanwhile we shall 80 on with our
buzzard killing, trusting TO the Judi
cial Interpretation which makes a
law void for uncertainty. The buzz :
card question is taking up consider :
able space in the Florida papers and
we are glad to note that the foul
bird has few II any friends among
the newspapers. A mile high it hangs

The Star has not made any attack,
warranted or unwarranted, on Sen
ator Bitch. Mr.. Bitch said he was
in Ocala June 21st, when he wasn't
in fifteen miles of the town. If we
had said we attended a meeting in
Wiliston June q, when we hadn't
been any nearer Williston than Cot
tage Hill, and anybody caught US with
the goods on, we wouldn't say any
thing about attacks, or expect any
body to believe anything else we said,
unless we could produce corrobor-
ative evidence. As for the meeting
in Mr.. Duval's office, we can't tell
any more than we have, without in
venting something. There were about
a dozen solid citizen of northwest
Marion present, and if they do not
corroborate the Star, we will set 'em
up. The best thing for the Courier
to DO viii be to fake up a story oil
what took place at the meeting.
