The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-08-20

Very early in the excitement in
duced by the war, the charge was
made by German sympathizers that
the press of America had been sub
sidized by the British government,
and that that was the reason for the
unfavorable attitude of the Ameri-
can people toward Germany. All
during the year that followed the
outbreak of hostilities. the charge
has been reiterated time and again,
that American opinion was being
formed by theu seof British gold.
This country, however, learned
very soon after war operations ac-
tually began that when Germany
vas guilty of any particular atrocity,
II early got in to the game by charg-
ing one or all of its enemies with
having committed that very crime
.ainst humanity. y. has not been
very original in its charges. When
Belgian neutrality was violated Ger
many defended it's action by charg-
ing that England and France had
already committed the act. When
charges of peculiar atrocities were
made against Germany, it retorted
that its enemies had already done
the same things. 1t justified its use
OF poisonous gases by saying that
France had used them before Ger
many did. 1t excused its sinking
Of neutral vessels on the ground that
Great Britain did it first, and SO all
| through long list, German out
lages have been excused on the
ground that others had done the same
thing TO them.
So in this charge of the use of
British gold in forming American
opinion, it was Immediately suspect
ed that Germany was attempting to
do what it was charging Great Brit
ain with doing The truth is now
about to come out, and as usual, the
perfdiay of Germany stand fully re-
vealed.

FROLICSOME BABY
GIVES FIRE SCARE
Overturned Lamp at Weinand
Home Threatens Disaster
Steaming Kettle Saves Day

Three men, each with a pail of
water, and a woman with a steaming
tea kettle saved Alberta from destruc-
ton shortly after supper Saturday
night when raging fire in the kitch-
en- of the J. A. Weinand apartments
over the meat market threatened to
wipe out the block. Quick action on
the part of this mixed quartet saved
the town from being in smouldering
ruins today.
While Mrs. Weinand was preparing
supper little Miss Weinand, thirty
months old, clambered upon the kitch-
en- table to get better view of things
and incidentally to reach for the sug-
ar. Her explorations ended when the
lamp went crashing to the floor, fol-
lowed by the dishes and the child her
self. Oil from the lamp soon spread
into every corner and over the child s
clothes and the room resembled a
fiery furnace the next instant. The
mother rescued her babe and hurried
to the street to spread the alarm.
Ole Heglund was the first to respond
and he threw a bucket of water, over
the oil which spread the fire to the
walls. Then Chris Eystad and Clyde
Roberts appeared, each with bucket,
and the attack on the flames was re-
newed. While the fight was at its
height Mrs. Eystad arrived with a
tea kettle steaming at the snoot and
the contents were poured over the fire

ALLY CASUALTIES
 REPORTED HEAVY
Holding of Trenches at the Dardanelles Entails
 Enormous Losses

London, July 27-(2:15 a. m.)-Most of the allies casualties occur in the holding of trenches after they have been won, says the British press representative in the Dardanelles, who describes operations against the Turks up to July 14.
 The dispatch shows that the Turks con- tinue to oppose obstinately the allies ad- vance and that slow progress is being made after despers-- struggles and much hand to hand fighting and largely by the aid of bombardments with high explosive shells. From July F to 14. the allies gained considerable ground. according to the narrative.
 Any one who has not seen the ground says the writer, 'can have no conception of the obstacles our heroic infantry must face in gaining even few yards of fresh ground. The Turks now withdraw thelr men down communicating trenches during bombardment Thus our infantry oc- cupy two or three lines with only small losses. Parties of men get too far for ward and frequently are lost for hours While 1t Is not uncommon for our men to gain possession of an advanced trench while the Turks are still holding sections of those behind it.
 Thus after each advance it takes a long time to straighten out and con solidate a captured position. It is bludgeon work-brutal and unattractive and giving little or no scope for skill in tactics or strategy"
