kill the passengers, caused the loss of
the Lusitania, according to the find
ing of the British court of inquiry, it
was announced today. The court COM
pletely exonerated Commander Tur-
ner of the Cunard Line, the crew and
passengers of all blame, saying that
all facilities for life saving were ade-

was blameless, while the passengers
conduct was praiseworthy.
American survivors express indig-
nant surprise at the exoneration of
Capt. Turner, the crew and the Cum
ard Line, which may have great eff
feet on actions against the company.

swIFTER THAN THE SUB

There were two hundred and twen-
ty-seven passengers aboard the Or
duna The captain confirmed the
passengers statement of an attack
without warning, but declined to dis
cuss it further. According to Baron
Rosenkrantz, of Denmark, ship sail
ing with the American flags painted
on its sides, was seen just before the
attack. Many passengers believe the
submarine was using this ship as a
shield. When the attack began, the
passengers assembled on the deck and
life boats were swung out. The Or
duna rigzagged and out-distanced
the submarine, four shells from which
crossed the decks.

SILVER SPRINGS
AND OCALA CANAL

Reliable information has been re-
ceived in Gainesville that movement
is on foot to construct a canal from
the city of Ocala to Silver Springs, in
Marion county. This is intended to
give a navigable waterway from the
Johns river to Jacksonville. Only
eleven miles of canal will be neces-
sary, according to persons from that
city who were here Friday.
1t is proposed to have Marion coun-
ty and the city of Ocala join together
in paying the cost of the canal, issu-
ing bonds to provide funds.
Silver Springs is one of the most
wonderful water courses of the state,
being navigable for many miles and
being the source of the Oklawaha
river connecting with the st. Johns
river. A canal connecting Ocala with
the springs would mean year round
transportation from that city by wa
ter, since the Oklawaha and st.
Johns are open every month in the
year.
Prominent business men in Ocala
are said to be enthusiastic over the
proposed canal and efforts will be
made to have the proposition taken
up at an early date.-Gainesville Sun.
If the Sun had read the Star real
close, it would have been made wise
to this plan some years ago. How
ever, we could not do much planning
if it would take eleven miles of canal.
The distance is about five and half.

EDISON is ENTHUSIASTIC
of the Plan to Form a Defense Board
of American Inventors

Washington, July 17.-Secretary
Daniels returned yesterday from his
conference with Thomas A. Edison,
who will head the new naval advisory
board. Mr. Daniels said general plans
for the new bureau of invention in
the department and the civilian board
were talked over, but the personnel
of the board was not discussed.
'Mr. Edison thought" said the
secretary, 'that the plan offered pos
sibilities of getting the foremost en-
gineers of the country to aid US. He
is impressed with the idea that meth
ods of warfare are undergoing radi-
cal change; that what has been may
not be in the future. 1t is his idea
that the board should be purely ad-
visory, and that navy officers skilled
by practice in their work should con-
tinue development of ideas, getting
them.
"Mr. Edison thought that to serve
on this board would be regarded as a
crowning honor for an American en-
gineer; the renewal of decorations
given by foreign governments for
scientific achievements"
Mr. Daniels believed there would be
little difficulty in getting appropria-
tions from Congress for the work.
Several senators and representatives,
he said, have approved the plan.
"If we can show Congress the wis
dom of the plan," he said, 81 think
we will have little difficulty with ap-
Dropriations."

A. D.. was discovered in 1882 when the site of the old ruined church was being cleared for the erection of a new church building. Unfortunately the mosaic floor was much damaged or that occasion by ignorant work men before it was saved by scien- tists The part of the map saved from destruction extends from Nab lus. the Biblical Shechem, in the north, to the Nile delta of Egypt in the south.
 Like the original mosaic. which is the earliest map of Palestine in preservation, the reproduction is in scribed in Greek. It combines with geography a picturesque illustration of the Bible and Christianity in Pal estine In fact, the artist seems to have been more intent on picturesque detail than on the geography.
 Unlike modern maps, the Nedeba map is orientated not toward the north. but toward the east sunrise, so that places and legends are ar ranged on the west line. Cities and towns are represented by buildings, sometimes surrounded by palm trees The Jordan is shown as a compara-
