PEOPLE STARVING
ON ALL SIDES
Wretchedness Due to the
War on Account of Bus
mess Stagnation.

Bucaramanga, Columbia, South
America, May 24th-We do not
suffer much from lack OF
magazines and newspapers out here
tor our friends are good to us, and send
many of the best. To be sure most
of them are "second hand, but that
matters not at all, as any magazine,
even if it comes straight from the
press, is from four to ten weeks in
reaching us. But in none of the period
icals have l found anything more per-
tinent than an article on the first page
of the Baraboo News for Feb. 18th,
(Which reached us last night. 1t was
part of an article written by Herbert
Casson. on "What is the Matter With
the United States" Why is the Unit
ed States not establishing factories,
not rushing out work those now ope-
rating, and getting ready to possess
the earth in a commercial way? ''Thank
God that you are alive, and that your

in a land that is at peace when nearly
the whole earth is at war"
We do thank God that we are in q
land that is at peace here. Yet it
wrings our hearts to see the suffering
around US. Commerce is at dead lock
Half the population is out of work.
No money ia coming into the country,
because there is no coffee going out.
Almost no imports are brought in. Can
you imagine what that means here,
where there are no manufactures out
side of a few heavy shoes and straw
hats? 1t means that we cannot buy med
icines, nails, paper-nOt even nipple
for the baby's bottle. The prices of
all food have gone higher and higher
and are still soaring. 1t is all native
food, so the war has not affected the
price directly but there has been nc
rain for many, many months, and there
are no bananas for yucca. What little
food there is, and it is reduced to a
few staples, is brought long distances
over the mountains the high
prices.

Bio Lake Liner
VIII Sail Down
Wisconsin River
May Meet Some Difficult
ties Along the Muddy
Way.
(From Thursdays Daily J

The great lake steamer Fremont is
enroute to Portage from the Grea I
Lakes. The boat left Green Bay some
time ago and will be towed from Osh :
kosh to Portage ana then will proceed
down the Wisconsin River.
This boat is said to be the largest
that has ever sought passage
through the Fox river and the
government canal being even
larger than the steamers Grand and
Rapids which passed down river from
Portage to Little Rock, Ark. The gov
ernment dredge will probably be called
out of quarters to help the big craft up
from Montello to Portage.
The boat reached Neenah few days
ago enroute to Oshkosh.
The Fremont is a great lake steam
er and the owne rs hope to reach Por-
tage by the aid of tugs. It is very pro-
bable that the boat will proceed down
the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers un-
der it's own steam to New Orleans,
(F'rom Fridays Daily.)
The large lake steamer Fremont, en-
route from the Great Lakes to Portage
has reached Oshkosh and is tied up In
port there on the advice that the water
conditions are not favorable for a trip
down the Wisconsin at this time. The
boat is 130 feet long.

From New York Herald:
James G. McNary, first vice president
Of the First National bank of FL Paso
Tex, who has been staying at the Mare
Antoinette hotel, expressed the greatest
optimism concerning the future of bust
ness in the United States and said that
in his section of the south conditions
now are very good.
The southwest has seldom, II ever,
been so prosperous as ii is right now"
Mr.. McNary said THE business of one
firm alone i'm Il PasO shows an in
crease of 50 percent in the last year,
and its business last year was close to
100000. The country heed not worry
about its business future when one sec

in our state.

SAILORS SALUTE
OFFICERS, DROWN
Captain Of Battleship For
midable Calmly Smokes
as His Ship Sinks.

London. Eng, Jan. 4.-Saluting their
officers as they passed, the crew Of the
British battleship Formidable swarmed
up to the decks of the ship after it had
been torpedoed or mined last Friday,
and then went down to death. This is
the tale told by the 125 survivors Of
the tragedy I'm which more than 500
officers and men lost their lives.
Capt. Loxley stood on the bridge
smoking a cigaret as his vessel went
down.
The captains last words. they say,
were a compliment to the officer who
was experimenting the launching of
the boats, on the seamanly manner in
which the work was being done.
capt. Loxley gave his orders as
calmly as if his ship had been in har-
Dor with her anchors down." said one
rescued sailor. THE only sign he gave
that anything was amiss was a brief
speech with which he exhorted his
crew, saying, STEADY, men, everything
is all right Keep cool and be British.
There's tons Of life in the old ship
yet"
Explosion Narrowly Missed Magazine.
The survivors give graphic stories of
the scene or board the battleship. They
state that when the explosion occurred
at 2:2O in the morning, 500 men were
asleep. Their hammocks and hunks
were jerlIed several inches upward by
the shock. The explosion missed the
magazine by only 10 feet, but it en-
tered the dynamo room and put all
electric lighting and the wireless out
of action.
The captain. according to survivors.
was on deck all the time until the yes
sci sank. When the order was given
for all hands to come on deck. the men
Gwarmed up, saluting the officers as
they passed them. Many were almost
without clothes.
Engine Room Flooded.
Two minutes after the first alarm
was given, the engine room swas flood
ed and the supply of steam stopped.
This was the worst blow Of all, because
with steam. the Formidable might have
been able to make port The absence
Of steam also made the work OF get
ting the boats out very laboriOus The
vessel was soon tilted at an angle that
made it difficult for the men to retain
their foOthold.
Orders were given to make RATS and
soon the men were tearing UP the
decks and bringing all available furni-
ture from below for this purpose. The
ships carpenters improvised RATS by
the dozen.
Second Explosion Occurs.
While the second cutter was being
launched another explosion occurred.
This curiOusly enough served, to
lengthen the warship's life. She had

seemed as though she might capsize
at any moment. but the rush of water
into the port side had the effect Of bal
ancing her better, though she laid low
er in the water.
A large percentage of those saved
wore patent inflated Waistcoats, which
are described as more effective than
life belts.
The Formidable's end was hurried by
the fact that she was struck three
times by terrific seas within the space
Of minute.

Barlow, April 14.-Yesterday af-
ternoon the grand jury reported and
were discharged Following is a
copy of their presentments:
In the Circuit Court Of the Tenth
Judicial Circuit of the State of
Florida. in and for Polk County,
Spring Term 1915.
To the Honorable F. A. Whitney,
Judge Of Said Court:
We the grand jury empanelled at
this term of court, having completed
our labors, beg herewith to submit
our final report.
We have examined into and
passed upon total of forty-three
criminal cases. AS q result Of our
investigation OF these cases we have
returned twenty-six true bills, thir-
teen no bills, and have referred four
cases to the county court. We have
completed investigation of all mat
tiers brought to our attention.
We regret to have to report that
We cannot approve of he conduct of
the county Judge, Honorable C. NJ.
Trammell, in the handling Of GRIM
inal matters in his office. 1t has
been made to appear to us that this
official does not investigate careful
ly enough criminal cases brought
before him on preliminary trial, and
he binds over to the grand jury
many cases that should not come be-
fore our body. Besides this several
misdemeanor cases were sent from
the county court before this jury and
witnesses at considerable expense
came before our body in these cases,
whereas said cases should have been
referred to the county court. We also
disapprove of the careless manner in
which the county Judge keeps rec
ords of his Office in reference to
criminal matters.
We find also that some of the JUS
tices Of the peace of the county bind
over to the grand jury many cases Of
trifiing Importance. We strongly
recommend that all committing
magistrates of the county or circuit
court cases of trifling importance
and thus putting the county and the
State to unnecessary and useless ex-
pense.
Upon investigation we find that
