sioners the advantage of one of the
policies which he presented to keep
damage claims off the county, and
Chairman Barrineau suggested that
policy for one year be taken out for
each truck, and if at the end of that
time there were no accidents, that no
further insurance Of the nature be
carried. A motion to this effect was
offered by Mr.. White and was duly
carried. Mr.. Thornton at once hand
ed the filled-out liability protection
to the clerk of the board.
The question of purchasing a sup
ply of disinfectant for the county
buildings precipitated quite a discus
sion. The last supply, bought in
March, was about exhausted, and the
representative of the manufacturers
asked for another order. He offered
it at 80 cents per gallon.
The disinfectant was reported as
having given satisfaction all right,
the janitor Of the county building,
Mr.. Roberts, said, but he added that
he had been offered as good con-
coction for rs cents a gallon, and
thought the county board should take
advantage of the reduction. This in
terested Chairman Barrineau, and he
suggested that Mr.. Roberts procure
a five gallon sample shipment and
give it a thorough test before the
next regular meeting, and if it gives
satisfaction it looks like the cheaper
disinfectant will be naturally favored.
The board had another offer for
consideration. George Copas, through
Attorney w. A. Blount, Jr., offered
the board a sample of Wonder oil,
and much was said about the value
of this product as mixture for gaso-
line, and liquid fuel saver. It will
be given a thorough test.

sacola Chamber of Commerce, and S.
A. Afford of Chipley, strongly oppos-
ing any increase over the present
rates. In the matter of the proposed
grocery increases Mr.. Hull of the
Consolidated Grocery Co. appeared in
opposition, while F. K. Marlin of Bax-
ter & Co., cross-tie shippers, appeared
in opposition to any increase on these
rates. 1t developed, however, that
the proposed increase is applicable
only to cross-ties for domestic con-
sumption.
The railroad withdrew its proposed
increase on wood for manufacturing
purposes, leaving the rate on such
shipments to Gull Point the same as
at present.
The railroad officials and others left
on the 5 o'clock train and the mem
bers of the railroad commission will
return to Tallahassee tonight. The
decision in this case will be announced
after due consideration has been
given to the subject.

the Atlantic feet were ordered to pre-
pare at once to get to Vera Cruz, but
if the emergency should become
pressing, the battleship Connecticut
NOW in Haitien waters and about two
days sail across the gulf would be
ordered to join Commander McNa-
NEE.
The Connecticut could reach Vera
Cruz several days ahead of the New
Hampshire and Louisiana.
Commander McNamee's report did
not give details, but officials here be-
lieve the anti-American feeling which
he reported is a direct outgrowth of
the Pan-American negotiations in
Washington for the adjustment of
differences between the factions.
Other developments IN Mexico, such
as General Carranza's expulsion of
the Guatemalan minister and his diff
ferences with the Brazilian minister,
are taken as evidence of Carranza's
displeasure with the stand the United
States has taken. The gunboat Sacra-
mento is the only American naval YES
sci at Vera Cruz. With the arrival Of
the Louisiana, the flagship of the
fourth division of the Atlantic feet,
Commander McNamee will be super
seeded in command Of the American
forces by Rear Admiral Mclean.
Rear Admiral Benson and Leon
Canova, chief of the Latin-American
division of the state department con-
ferred concerning the reports that
foreigners were in danger at Vera
Cruz then went to the Office of Sec
rotary Lansing Admiral Benson said:
'fNo additional naval force has been
ordered yet to go to Vera Cruz"
The conference with the secretary
of state was brief. When Admiral
Benson came out he said: 81 repeat
that no additional forces have been
ordered to Vera Cruz or to Mexico.
The gunboat Marietta has been or
dered to proceed from Progreso to
Vera Cruz in order to have ship at
the disposal of the Brazilian and
Guatemalan ministers who are leav-
ing Mexico. 1t is assumed that the
Louisiana and the New Hampshire
will be held at Newport for further
orders.

the decisive stage, the Germans who
have been smashing their way toward
Riga have been checked. Almost sim
ultaneously German warships which
attempted to seize the gulf of Riga
and attain a strategic position to as
sist the troops ashore were dispersed
and damaged.
The assemblage of German craft
was the largest of the war thus far,
with the exception of the allied squad
ron at the Dardanelles. The fact that
the German warships were forced to
retire is source of satisfaction to
the British press.
The British advance in the vicinity
of HODGE, although not comparable
with the tremendous actions in Po-
land, marked the most important en-
gagement in which the British array
has figured since the battle of Festu-
bert in May. The gain was small and
has to be maintained against counter
attacks.

at Serbia already has found express
sion in concentration of yTeutonic
orces along the Serbian frontier. It
is said 1000 men have been massed
near Orsova, Hungary, which may be
the forerunner of the predicted cam
paign through Serbia for the relief of
Turkey. Italy has not declared war
on Turkey, bat Athens reports that
Italian consuls are leaving the Otto
man empire, entrusting their affairs
to American colleagues. If this be
true, it probably means that impend-
ing developments in the Balkans die
tated the action Of Italy.
It has been rumored frequently that
Italy would send troops to assist
France and England in the Gallipoli
operations, but thus far such reports
have not been borne out, and the
Porte and Rome maintain surface re-
lations Of nations at peace.
For Germany's reported peace
overtures to Russia, the British press
finds only sarcasm. Virtually all pa
pers reiterate editorial what officials
have insisted so often that there can
be no peace until the allies have won.
1t is believed generally in England
that Germany is willing to conclude
peace as matters stand, but the bur-
den of all written and spoken COM
ment is that such a situation would
be impossible from standpoint of the
allies.

SENIOR NAVAL OFFICER
ASKS FOR BATTLESHIPS

Washington, Aug. 10.-Commander
McNamee, the senior American naval
officer at Vera Cruz, has asked the
navy department to send battleship
squadron to guard against anti-for-
eign demonstrations which he fears.
Anti-foreign demonstrations in Vera
Cruz were the subject of long cable
gram received at the navy depart
ment today. Acting Secretary Ben
son said the dispatch told of speeches
being made in front Of public build
ings and on street corners in an effort
to incite the people against all for
eigners, especially Americans. No
acts of violence were reported.

interfered with success of efforts to

insisted such an addition to the troops
had no connection with internal Mex

The Nevada County picayune., 1915-06-25

One of the many duties undertaken by the United States coast and geo. detic survey, which furnishes official information about our sea coast and harbors for the use of mariners plying these waters, is that of predicting the tides at any given station at any time in the future. To gain this informa- tion a new machine of very compli- cated nature has just been constructed by the bureau and placed in operation in the headquarters at Washington. The tide levels for a year can be ob- tained in from ten to fifteen hours for any station. To the layman the ma chine appears to be a mass of little wheels. knobs. cranks. chains and glittering brass indicators. but the new superintendent of the bureau, Dr. E. Lester Jones. explains the functions of each part and finally arrives at the roll of paper on one end on which two fountain pens are drawing lines. One of these draws line about the middle of the roll which represents the mean sea level while the the other draws a varying line which represents the tide. From this graphic record, which is 370 feet long and about six inches wide, representing the tides for a year, the tide level at any time in that period can be readily ascertained

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws of war, any civilian who is found with arms in his possession is liable to be shot without mercy. Although this seems a very severe rule, it is absolutely nec- essary for the safeguarding of the whole civil population.
 The rules of war say that no men will be recognized as combatants un- less they wear distinguishing badge, which can be easily recognized. If it were not for this, any number of men could at any time band themselves together, and say they were belliger- ents. If this were allowed, therefore, invading troops would safeguard them selves against surprises by killing every man in villages through which they marched.
 This particular rule is so stringent that even a noncombatant who took up arms to defend his wife against some drunken soldier would be liable to be shot.

Histrionic Wonder.


 William Barnes, Jr., of New York, smiled the other day when the con- versation in a prominent club turned to things histrionic. He said he was reminded of a little story along theatrical lines.
 Some time ago Jones attended a fashionable reception in big new England town, and not having met all of the people present the most prominent ones were pointed out to him by friend.
 "The young lady beside the palm wonder" said the friend, indicating a statuesque blonde, lis Miss Smith. She has great histrionic ability. As a matter of fact. at amateur theatri- calls she is simply a wonder"
