the principles of the Confederacy, the
greatest sufferers were the women,
who at home faced the dangers and
privations and terrors of warfare, un-
complainingly. He said the men of
the south owed them debt that can
never be repaid, and that the statue,
as memorial to the women of the

of the state, and Daughters of the

1913 session of the state legislature
relieved the veterans of the final work
of completing the fund by voting a
state appropriation.

WOODMEN At REDDIcE
Local sovereigns Gave a Warm Re-
ception to Their Ocala
Brethren

Upon invitation from the Reddick
camp Woodmen of the World about
thirty members of Fort King camp
including the working team were the
guests of the former at their meeting
Tuesday evening.
Two new members, Messrs. ]. H.
Green and w. H Brown, were usher
ed into the forest of woodcraft dur
ing the evening. They made an early
start, but on account of extreme
cloudy weather and a rough and
treacherous trail, were late in their
arrival Their mounts were of the
angora variety and they were noted
for their slow and uncertain gait.
However, the two weary candidates
were present when the roll call was
sounded at the after meeting feast,
and enjoyed their first real chopper"
supper.
A most interesting session was
held, and the team work of Captain
Charles Harris and his associates of
Fort King camp is said to have been
excellent, tho only a few weeks have
been devoted to practice.
After the session all were invited
to partake of a chicken "purlo"
which had been prepared in the open
space next the lodge building. For a
full half hour the boys enjoyed an
"open session" and the way that
"purlo" with the accompaniments
disappeared was a caution. Some Of
the Fort King boys were little
modest, but the averages were more
than overbalanced by such artists as
"Big Joe" Lamar, Little Joe" Bur-
den, "Ted" Lancaster and a few
others of the visitors. The feast, like
the meeting before it, was everything
that it should have been, and all de-
parted at late hour thoroughly sat
isfied with the events of the evening.
Reddick camp is taking on new
life, and tho not large numerically,
promises soon to be one of the live
liest in Marion county. How could it
be otherwise tho with such an array
of live officers as this: s. r. Rou, c.
c.; R. D. Ferguson, A. l.; L. S. Light
Jr., banker; R. w. McCauley, clerk;
]. F. Dupree, escort; G. w. L. Den
ham. watchman; W. NJ. shockley,
sentry. And every man on the job at
each session of the camp, which is on
the second and fourth Tuesday Of the
month.
The oeala boys request the Star
to thank their hosts for the excellent
entertainment furnished them during
their few hours stay in Reddick.

time was devoted to the discussion of

ing whether. or not they considered
that the water bonds had been con-
tracted for.
An ordinance was introduced auth
orizing the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road to use the side track on Osceo-
la street between Fort King avenue
and South Second street for loading
and unloading freight. Referred to
judiciary committee.
An ordinance was also introduced
amending the ordinance relating to
the use of side walks for displaying
goods, etc. In the reprinting of the
original ordinance in some manner
the words "50c appears when it should
have been S." where it refers to the
amount of fine to be imposed for vio-
lation. This amended ordinance was
referred to the judiciary committee.
The next regular meeting will be on
Tuesday evening, November 2.

Allies Cannot Give Sufficient
Assistance
GREAT EFFORTS ON OTHER FRONTS DO NOT LOOSEN TEU-
TON-BULGAR GRIP
(Assocated Press)
(Associated Press)

London, Oct. 27.-London's opti-
mism regarding the outcome of the
Balkan conflict which has been color
ed by reports of determined Serbian
resistance and the difficulties the in
vaders are meeting, has yielded to the
conviction that it will take something
in the nature of miracle to avoid a
disaster for Serbia.
Lord Landsdowne's description of
the Macedonian campaign in the
house of lords yesterday regarding
the indication of assistance the Allies
have been able to give Serbia isn't
sufficient to meet her needs. The ap-
peal of the Serbian premier to Eng
land to send troops as soon as possi-
BILE intimates their resistance is near
ing its last stage. Teutonic and Bull
garian forces are within twenty miles
of each other. They are advancing
southwest and southeast from Bel
grade on 100-mile front 25 to 40 miles
south of the Danube.
The Germans hold the first fifty
miles of the Belgrade, Nish, Saloniki
railroad, the Serbians the next $50
miles, the Bulgarians the next 100
miles and the French the last fifty
miles to the Greek border.
No retails are reported of the re-
capture of Velos by the Serbians.
Dispatches continue to describe the
intense resistance of the Serbians. At
Uskup only 500 Serbians were taken
the others fighting to the
death.

fense south of Pripet The Austrians

changed on the other fronts.

OLD SOLDIERS IN FULL
POSSESSION Of OCALA
Confederate Veterans of Florida Found the
City Easy to Capture
OUR PEOPLE ARE SMG NO EFFORTS IN MAKING WELCOME THE BRAVE MEN WHOM
SOUTHRNERS DELIGHT TO HONOR

There is every evidence that the
convention of the Confederate Vet
erans of Florida will be an unqualified
success
In their honor, Ocala has decked it
self in festal array, such a display of
color by day and blaze of light at
night never before having been seen
here.
Many of the veterans came in on
yesterdays trains, and as fast as they
arrived were met and assigned to
homes.
The Ocala House, appropriately
decorated, is headquarters, and there
until late hour last night the COM
mittee, Mrs. Carney, Mrs. Ed. Carmi-
chael and Mr.. Rooney, with many
aides, waited until all the trains were
in, giving warm welcome to the Vet
Grams.
BY 10 o'clock this morning nearly
200 of the old soldiers had gathered,
and with many of the Sons of Veter-
ans and other friends proceeded to
the Temple, where the opening eyer
cises were held.
The Temple was indeed beautifully
arranged for the occasion, the Daugh-.
ters of the Confederacy and other la
dies vieing with each other in the best
good taste and skilled fingers could
do; and their work was supplement
ed by the management of the thea
ter.
The Temple was entirely filled
when the services began few min
utes after ten. After prayer by DR..
Herndon, Secretary Rooney Of the
Board of Trade, whom Mayor Robert
son had deputized to make the address
of welcome for the city, arose and
said:

troops holding the northwestern cor

tro-German and Bulgarian forces are

heavy losses on the invaders.
In the south where the French
troops have joined the Serbs the Bull

the Serbians have recaptured Veles,
southeast of Uskup, after desperate
fighting, and with Anglo-French rein

Comptroller PRENDERoAsT has neatly
and expeditiously disposed Of the at
tack on the city's borrowing mar
gin made by a taxpayers association
whose leadership appears to be more
highly stimulated BY politics than
weighted with wisdom. He has dis
played the statistician Of this order
in the not reassuring act Of picking
his figures from municipal reports of
different dates; he has revealed him
transposing entries that belong under
budget appropriations TO the debt
column; and finally the Comptroller
declares that the error In his assail-
ants calculations reach the sum of
500, 100000, a matter Of moment even
In the consideration Of municipal
finance.
1t has been frequently shown that
1t is not difficult to construct a bal
ice sheet to show the city hope
lessly insolvent or lightly burdened
by debt. All that Is needed by the
amateur Is a copy of the Finance
nepa rtment's statements. a strong de-
sire to discredit somebody, and an
acute Imagination or muddied intel
lectuala A dash Of malice Is Of as
~sistance. but it is not essential. and
more unjustified deductions are to Ike
credited to ignorance and stupidity
than to evil disposition. When these
alarming declarations are made they
are to be put aside without prejudice
until the official answer has been
made and studied.
The Comptroller Is in a different
situation. He manages a great fnan-
cial bureau, seriously charged with
high obligations. His computations
must square with the records Of the
city and the condition Of the treasury.
Falsihcation and error by him are
bound to be uncovered. He offers
stock for sale to inQuisitive and sus-
picious bankers. who pay large sums
to check his entries and verify his
totals. II he goes wrong, he loses
everything; his accusers achieve pub
llcity, no matter how wild their con-
illusions may be.
