Reports of i'll treatment of Ger
mans in England are very bad, but
as the Germans have been telling US
of our people lost with the Lusitania,
it is only what is to be expected.
About the first result of the sinking
of that ship was to lash the unreas-
oning among the British to blind fury,
and cause them to vent their rage on
the innocent and unarmed neighbors.
We have a great many Germans in
America. IF we should be driven to
war with their fatherland, we hope
Americans will make it their special
business to protect them. 1t would
be disgrace for us to act otherwise.

SUNDAY BULLETIN SERVICE

A number of our readers have in
quired why we did not supply them
with Sunday bulletins.
1t is easy to give the reason. 1t
would cause US much extra expense
and work for absolutely no extra pay.
We furnishing the reading public
bulletins for three Sundays last Sep
TENDER. They cost several dollars
day in tolls, and several hours in
work and brought in not one cent.
We have inquired of the Associat-
ed Press, and it informes us that it
will furnish us with Sunday bulletins
if we will pay the tolls, which is a
very generous offer indeed.
That tyrannical corporation, the
Western Union, however, insists on
being paid for it's juice and the time
of its operators. Consequently, in
spite of the public spirit of the A. P,
we cannot obtain bulletins without
some expense.
Also, a bulletin comes in skeleton,
and unless filled out by somebody
who knows how, is unintelligible to the
ordinary reader.
However, we will make our readers
an offer.
If dozen or so of them will chip
in quarter apiece, we will obtain a
bulletin every Sunday morning from
the Associated Press. Also, the edi-
tor will lose his beauty sleep on that
date by getting up at 9 o'clock in
stead of IL, to receive, interpret and
write out on a typewriter the said
bulletin, copies of which will be post
ed at the Star Office and two other
places in town.
If you want to come in on this
you must decide in a hurry, as the
order for bulletins must be sent Sat
urday before noon.

would have in a foreign country.
The Germans claim that the Rus
slams in East Prussia have been as
awful in their outrages as the armies
of lilly and Wallinstein during the
thirty years war. And it is very like
ly that if Germany loses in the war,
and her soil is overrun, her nom
combatants will pay heavily for the
crimes charged against her soldiers.
What Americans should heed is that
any army or men on foreign soil is
about as bad as an army of rattle
snakes, and that they should safe
guard their own land against such a
misfortune.

BOARD OF TRADE

The Board of Trade had slender
Unattended but interesting meeting
last night.
One of the principal matters dis
cussed was good roads and the posi-
bility of bringing the Dixie highway
or branch of it thru Ocala. All the
prominent good roads advocates in
the state are anxious for Secretary
Rooney to attend the meeting of the
highway commission in Chattanooga
May 20, and several have written
urging him to go as he could do good
work for the state as well as Ocala.
The following telegram was read
and discussed:
Jacksonville, May II, 1915.
Marion County Board of Trade:
Urge your representatives to vote
for the Wood highway commission bill
without amendments, as reported fav-
orably by the Senate and House good
roads committee and passed by the
Senate. Immediate action is neces-
sary as we fear proposed amend
ments may endanger the bill.
Jacksonville Cham. Commerce.
The board received a visit from
Mrs. Moorhead, who was accompanied
by Miss Wells, assistant to Miss Har-
ris in county demonstration work
Each of the ladies gave short talk
in which they complimented the board
for its helpful spirit in pushing on
canning club work. Miss Wells con-
siders it-the best board in Florida In
this particular. She referred to Mr.
Rooney's visit to Tallahassee, one OF
the results of which is that big can
ming machine company will make
Ocala its center of operations, and of
fer prizes for excellence IN canning
club work.
The members of the board were
much pleased with the handsome anC
convenient manner in which Mr.
Rooney had fitted up the new head
quarters. There is less space than al
the former stand, but everything i:
comfortable and good-looking.

1t is to be inferred by what has
been given out of President Wilson's
intentions, that he desires to draw all
neutral nations together to protect
their people and commerce against
the impositions of the nations at war.
A very good plan if he can carry it
thru If the United States, Holland
and the three Scandinavian nations
would join in a league with the
threat to throw their weight against
the side that should impose on them
first, they would likely be let alone.
Their united power could easily turn
the scale. President Wilson, how
ever, can obtain more immediate and
lasting results by notifying Germany
if American rights are not respected,
and reparation made for loss of Am
erican lives, the United States would
join the allies. That is our natural
policy at present. The allies have
not treated US very well, but they
haven't killed any of our people.

The Star has received from the As
ISOLATED Press the report of Viscount
Bryce, former ambassador to the
United States, the head of the COM
mission appointed to investigate out
RACES committed by the Germans in
Belgium. The report covers several
columns and is too lengthy for the
Star to print; however, as it is pub
lished in all of the larger papers car
rying Associated Press dispatches, it
is easy for any of our readers to OBJ
tain it. The Star has also received
the official report of the French gov
eminent of outrages committed by
Germans in Northern France. 1t is
contained in a good-sized pamphlet
whose pages are filled with instances
course, these reports are compiled by
the enemies of Germany, and must be
discounted for that reason. The
American people, however, are more
willing to believe them than they were
a week ago. Also, some evidence that
they are partly truthful is given by
the Germans themselves, who claim
they found it necessary to make ex-
amples in order to warn the civilian
population of Belgium and Northern
France against resisting their troops.
We do not suppose the Germans have
behaved much if any worse than the
soldiers of any other European nation

Some of our contemporaries demur
at criticism of the United States
navy. Perhaps some of the criticism
is unjust. But it is better for the
people to think it is worse than it is
than better. We can't do anything in
this country without criticism.

Sinking the Lusitania, which had
among it's passengers number of
babies less than year old, puts En-
peror William in the same class with
King Herod. Unfortunately, no Off
cial figures have come down from the
episode as to the number of babies
slain at Bethlehem, but all things
considered it is to be supposed there
were more than sank with the Lusi-
tania. So it is not certain that Will

baby-butcher of history, but after a
lapse of nineteen centuries it is quite
safe to give him the second.

Jersey POLITICIANS
MIGHT FOR CONTROL
Primary Elections Involving Only
Minor Offices to Be
Held Tomorrow.

TRENTON, y. J.. September 2I.-Fac-
tional fights in both the democratic and
republican ranks will be decided in
several counties at the primary cleo
lions to be held tomorrow throughout
this state. There are no state ofhces
to be filed at the approaching cleo
ton and no statewide issue will be
directly at stake, although the local
option question has been injected by
some of the candidates for nomination
to the assembly and state senate.
The contests in the republican ranks
in Essex and in the democratic party
in Hudson are attracting the most
attention, although in nearly every
county there is local interest in the
party nominations for assembly and
state senatorial seats.
In Essex county Mayor Thomas L..
Raymond of Newark, with the support
of Independent republicans and former
progressives, is leading vigorous OPP
position to the candidates supported by
the regular republican organization for
the various nominations, while in Hud-
son county the issue is between Naval
Officer Witthen and his opponents for
the democratic nomination.
In Passaic county former Assembly
man james Blauvelt, a former pro-
gressive leader, is making a fight for
the nomination for state senator
against Thomas +. McCran, former
speaker of the house of assembly.
Blauvelt is espousing the local option
cause.
One of the bitterest senatorial fights
In the state is over the democratic
nomination in MiddleseX county. The
contestants are Assemblyman Arthur
A. Quinn of Perth Amboy, president of
the state federation of labor, and Pros
ecutor W. Edwin Florence of New
Brunswick.
In Cape May county the chief con-
test for the republican senatorial NOM
ina ton is between Assemblyman Lewis
T. Stevens, who is supported by local
optionists, against d. Miles Rigor Of
Wildwood Crest. Senator Harry c.
Wheaton is unopposcd for the demo-
cra tic nomination.
