And at once begun to stir the sand.
He prospered far beyond his dreams
And looked for one to spend his
means.
He came to Ellis. counting Sally
Brack,
And twas not long til he took her
back.
Eight sous came with them to stay.
Then one day the mother passed

Since then this Valentine boy
Has lived with out much joy,
And now in 1915 we come
TO honor him in Otas home.
Nine decades have passed since he
came
To live in this world of Joy and pain.
And may he reach the century
mark.
Ere he leaunches upon the bark
That will take him across the sea
TO friends and loved ones awaiting
him.
TO live in glory forever more.
with all the souls gone on before.

Won FINDENBURG TO
ASTONISH THE WORLD
Has Made Sush a Phophesy
Commanding the
Drive On Warsaw.
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 15.-Abandoning for.
the time their attempt to outhank
Warsaw from the south the Germans
have renewed their attack on the Pol
ish capital from the north. 1t is
believed that Germans are command
ed by Gen Won Hindenburg who is re-
ported to have said recently that
shortly he would astonish the world.
Not only have the Germans cap
tured many prisoners south of Kolno,
according to Berlin, but have occu-
pied Przasnysz, fortified town fifty
miles north of Warsaw, which was
taken by the Germans last winter,
but retaken by the Russians in the
counter offensive. The Russian of
fetal report admits German progress
to some extent
In France the Argonne region con-
tinues the scene Of the hardest fight
ing, but official accounts of the French
and Germans are contradictory re-
suits However, it is plain no great
movement has been undertaken, and
no big change occurred on the west
ern battle line.
Confirmation was received tonight
from General Ian Hamilton of the
success which for some days the
allies were reported to have achieved
on the Gallipoli peninsula. The re-
port says two lines Of Turkish
trenches were captured with -four
hundred prisoners. The Turks, how
ever, claim they repulsed the attacks
AS anticipated progress against the
Turks is slow, but the British mill
tary authorities express satisfaction

BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 15.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
will present to Secretary Lansing to-
morrow the view that Germany's re-
ply to the American note on sub
marine warfare was intended to pre-
pare the way for negotiations by the
United States with Great Britain as
well as Germany to adjust questions
that have arisen over contraband and
submarines affecting the rights of
neutrals. Secretary Lansing today
set tomorrow for the conference.
Count Won BerDstorf is confident
that Germany emphasized in the last
note its willingness to work with the
United States for freedom of the
seas principle, and the mediation Of
dispute which would involve accept
ance by Great Britain, of the services
of the United States as mediator, to
bring about the termination of the
British orders-in-council as the vel
German submarine attacks on mer-
chantment. The orders-in-counci
largely has prevented the Unitet

MONEYS FROM
CO.
Gross Receipts Tax Was
Fought Through High
Courts of Country
SPECIAL TO THR JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, July 15.-After long
and stubbornly fought contest throgh
all the courts, including the supreme
court of the United States and the
supreme court of the state, Attorney
T. F. West, during this week, re-
ceived from the Pullman Company
and paid into the state treasury the
three years back taxes due by this
company to the state.
The tax involved in this litigation
is the gross receipts tax of $1.50 upon
each 500 received by the company
from business sioneain Florida. The
payment Of this tax was contested
upon the grounds that a tax of this
kind was not permitted under the con-
stitution of Florida or the constitu-
ton Of the United States.
The decisions in these cases, to-
gether with the recent decisions by
the supreme court in the cases Of
the state against certain insurance
companies doing business in Florida
settles the question beyond further
controversy that a tax of this kint
against corporations doing bushes:
in Florida may be collected.
The state receives on account Of
gross receipts taxes from the Pull
man company, insurance companies
and express companies, more thar
$150,000 each year, and the successful
termination Of this litigation by tn,
actual payment of the money into tn
state treasury is great victory fol
the state.
The states interest in these case
was looked after by Attorney Genera
| T. F. West, and the companys' inter
est was looked after by Hon. John E
