The Telegram likes the idea of a
State fair, realizing the benefit it
would be to every community in the
State If pulled of in proper style.
However, we are wiling to bet dol
lar to a cent that if the talk heard
in this city lately should result in
the holding of south Florida or a
district fair-.and it is very apt to
we should find Lakeland and all
of Polk county just as strong for the
Tampa fair Tampa Times.
Sure you would. South Florida is
our best love and best bet, and II
Tampa will give us South Florida
fair, one fairly representative of the
resources of the various counties u
this section, you will find Lakeland
a big and forceful factor in the
scheme. MeanwhileS please s'don't
forget that Polk county is to have a
great fair in this city, beginning
Feb. % and lasting six days, and
that it will be an exhibit of the pro
ducts of the finest county in Florida
well worth the inspection of visitors
from every part of the State. We
stand by Tampa in all her big enter
prises, and we expect Tampa te
stand by us in this one and senG
large delegations of her people tt
visit our fair.

ALL WIRE COMMUNICATION
CUT OFF FROM GERMANY
fBy Associated Press. }


London, Feb. . 4 The, Wireless
World has received from Berlin a
copy of communique recently pub :
lished by the German colonial office,
describing the serious loss suffered
by Germany through the destruction
Of her chain of wireless stations.
The communique says:
"Soon after the outbreak of war
all communication with her colonies
by sea was broken, and all German
transmarine cables were cut by the
English, SO that even telegraphiC
communication with the whole Of
our colonies was rendered impossi
BILE. The only remaining means o.
communication was wireless teleg
raphy, but the first warlike meas
ures of the English were directed t,
depriving us Of this means also. Oh
Aug. IL fell the wireless station
! zap, and soon afterwards the station
Naru. Tasigata (Samoa) fell OF
Aug. %, and Bitapaka, in New Pc,
merania, on Sept. IL. During tn
night of Aug. "a the great station
of Kamina, in Togo, had to be de
stroyed by us in order to prevent it
capture.

the right thinking man as now
when half the world is at war and a
strong, wise, patriotic president at
the head of this nation is striving
with every power Of mind and soul
to guide the ship Of state through
the perils of a situation that makes
our very neutrality a source of con-
slant menace. At such a time this
sentiment which we find in a west :
ern paper has a charm and value all
the greater for the faultless rhet-
ORIG in which 1t is clothed:
Every land which nourishes hu-
man beings at its breast Is the Holy
Land, and holds in its bosom the
sepulcher of the Risen Lord. They
who desecrate 1t with the horrors OF
war are the infidels mightier for
evil than Saladin. The great need

The approaching Polk county fair
in this city is attracting attention
abroad as well as at home. The
Gainesville Sun has this to say
about it:
THE premium list of the Polk
county fair is at hand and is a pam
phlet of nearly 100 pages, which
will show the extent and Importance
Of the list of premiums offered by
the association. The fair dates are
Feb. % to q, and without doubt
1t will be a greater success this year
than ever before. The book is the
work of the Lakeland Telegram and
speaks we'll for the facilities of the
Office. One noticeable feature of the
list is the amount of advertising
that has been crowded into its pages.
It is little wonder that the fair as
ISOLATION is booming when the PEG i.
pie are both SO able and willing to
do their share in promoting the
great fair enterprise.
And the Miami Metropolis, noting
the fine fair pamphlet issued from
the Tele,ram Job dep1rt;reAr. NSs~s:
The Metropolis is glad to see the
Polk County Fair booklet: it has
been gotten up with great care and
has been well handled from a print
er's standpoint. The fair is TO take
place Feb. % to "a inclusive and
promises to be very interesting !

New York, Nov. S.-The French
Line steamship, Rochambeau, two
days out of New York for Bordeaux,
reported by wireless today that there
was a fire in her coal bunkers. Sine
presumably was steaming tonight to
Halifax, her nearest port. Her exact
position was not given by the single

ed that she would make Halifax late

sengers and crew Of about 230. and
a large cargo of war supplies, includ-
ing 2,54l rounds of cartridges and 1876
bales of cotton.
The fire which turned the vessel
from her course is deep in the hold in
the bunkers, where is placed the re-
serve supply of coal. The exact loca.
ton, according to the wireless sent
by Capt. ,Jlll1anl, is No. ) reserve coal

vessel is in no danger at all and
from its code, officials here Of the
French Line inferred that the situa-
tion was not a. serious one Only one

DECLARE THAT MILLIONS .a
HAVE BEEN SLAIN

London, :Nov:tS.-The debate on the
conduct Of;the eiwar and the censorship
was resumed in the House of Lords
this afternoon. Lord Loreburn, for,
mer high chancellor, brought up the
subject, declaring that this action, ow-
ing to, his belief that the Earl OF lans-
downe had not made adequate reply
to the argument Of Viscount Morley.
He spoke OF what he termed "the
misadventure''- the Antwerp eXpe-
dition, the loss of Rear Admiral Sir
Christopher Craddock's squadron, the
Dardanelles operations and the Balk-
an expedition. ST..
The speaker said he had been told
two months ago that three million
men had been killed or disabled for
life and that multitudes had been add
ed to this number since, and if this
conflict continued, a revolution might
follow in Europe.
Earl I.ansdown, who was one of the
radical stalwarts who criticized the
South African war today found him
self supported by Viscolnt Miner, for
mer high commission for South Afri.
ca, who was one of those largely re
sponsible for the South African war.
Vice Counsel Miner, however, con-
fined himself to a criticism, of the cen.
sorship. He declared that the news
had been 'doctored in an optimistic
sense, and also denounced the gov.
ernment for not going sooner to the
assistance of Serbia.
Should Show Assent. :.
Baron Courtney of Penwith, we'll
known as a peace advocate, followed
Miner. He said the government
should show itself ready to assent to
any suggestion which would end the
war, concluding, however, that Ger
many should agree to evacuate Bel
GUM and France and that no indem-
nifty should be demanded from Great
Britain.
Earl Curzon of Kedeston, who re-
piled for the government defended
both the coalition and the liberal pre-
decessor He reminded the critics Of
the government that Asquith did not
always agree. He announced that the
government was considering whether
could not be made for
creating closer contact between the
press and the fighting forces.
