Engineer Cowden that the exceedingly
dangerous railroad crossings at
Dauphin should be obviated BY estab-
fishing a road on the rivers bank out
side of the canal, or on the canal To-
cation. that would cut out both grade
crossings. giving n road of sufficient
width, or more attractive line and with
the fine river outlook that Is secured
from Front street in Harrisburg.
One of the important suggestions
that has boen made from time to tipe
is that property owners along the
proposed boundary of tho broadened
main radial roads might be induced TO
establish lines of trees along these
boundaries. Such an avenue of treas
would stand as n memorial and give
pleasure, as Mr.. Manning suggests, to
every one using the highway and also
give greater assurahce that the pro-
posed roadway would not he encroach-
ed upon. He likewise makes this sug-
gestion:
1t Is believed that very large
share OF the land that would be
used in widening the main thor
oughtaros can be secured as Slft
from the owners, on tho ground
that it would add to the value and
attractiveness of their property. 1t
Is further suggested that such land
might in places, be cultivated up TO
the time when Ii Is found necessary
10 utiliZo it To the Travelled way,
even though it DO held free of taxes
for road purposes.
More and more the citizens are
coming to understand how important
it is to consider the recommendations
of these experienced experts who have
given years of study to the very
problems which we must solve for the
future welfare of this city.

REASON ENOUGH
BOY-ED AND Won PAPEN ARE
TOO BELLIGERENT
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 7.-Secre-
=tary Lansing told Germany that the
recall of Won Papen and Capt. Boy
Ed was asked entirely because of
their military and naval activities.
The reply to the German inquiry was
made in long communication deliv-
cred at the embassy which was for
warded to Berlin Immediately. The
embassy refused to comment.
Secretary Lansing also sent a reply
to Germany through Ambassador
Gerard. Although there is no indica-
ton that the text will be given out it
can be authoritatively stated it de-
clares the American governments ac-
tion was caused by the military and
naval activities of the attaches cou-
pied with circumstances of an accu-
mulative nature deemed sufficient for
action. These reasons alone are re-
sponsible. The accumulation of cir
cimstances and conditions, by infer
ence if not otherwise, connected the
attaches with attempts to violate
United States neutrality laws.

Addresses Made Last Night by Dry
and Wet Orators

The campaign wound up last night
n Ocala with two large meetings,
one by the drys on the public square,
and the other of the vets in the Tenn
pie.
The drys had the band and big
crowd. A look over the assemblage
showed at least 200 votes present and
as many ladies. A marked feature of
the meeting was the attendance of a
large number of colorcd people.
Speeches were made by Messrs.
Bunyan Stephens, ]. r. Herndon, DR..
Gross and DR.. Dodge, and finally by
the orator of the evening, Legislator
Tighlman of Palatka.
As it was a solid prohibition crowd,
there was no need for argument, but
the speeches did the audience much
good and were heartily. applauded.
At the Temple. Mr.. Windle spoke
for the vets. He had a large at
tendance of that faith, beside many
temperance people went to hear him.
He is beyond dispute a fine speaker,
and if he should at some future day
come to 0cala to lecture on any pop
ular subject he can be assured Of a
full house.

JOIN the Dry Column
Today's wet or dry election has
been so far the best-humored held in
Marion county, and it is the most in
teresting one.
So far as heard from, the election
is going quietly in the country dis
tricts, from which many on both
sides, after voting, have come in to
the county seat, which is the most
closely contested as well as the most
important precinct.

held indisputed possession all day
long. They have, however, smiles
and good wishes for their opponents
as we'll as their adherents.
They have piano in one corner Of
the corridor and there all day long
some good musician or other has been
dispensing melody, sometimes REIN
forced by singer. Several times in
the course of the day, Miss Marguer-
ite Porter has sung beautifully, al
ways drawing entire attention from
all in range of her voice.
At noon. the ladies had hot coffee
and other good things, which they
shared with all, not asking how they
were going to vote.
1t had been said that the presence
of the ladies would be sort of a
mild intimidation to the vets, but
they seem to be bearing up under it,
some of them, particularly Ed Carmi-
chael, having many pleasant talks
with their fair opponents. Everything
has been orderly and goodhumored,
and it may be that the presence of the
white ribboners has had something to
do with it.
Sheriff Galloway, with strict nom
partisanship, allows no one to go up
stairs except the voters and election
officers. The voting has been steady
ever since the polls opened, ana IL
maybe that by sundown a few will be
left over.
If any fail to vote, it will not be the
fault of the managers, who are spar
ing no trouble to get their men to the
polls. The white ribbon autos are
particularly busy. The cars of Mrs.

OCALA KNITTING MILLS
SECURES A BIG ORDER
Five Thousand Dozen Knitted Suits
Wanted by Chicago Firm

Five Thousand Dozen Knitted Suits
Wanted by a Chicago Firm
Manager Harry Booth of the Ocala
Knitting Mills, received word from
Messrs. Cliff & Goodrich, of New
York, the factory's exclusive agents,
that they had been able to secure for
the Ocala factory the fine order that
they quoted prices on a short time ago
in Chicago, and a formal order would
be sent for the business in a day or
two.
This order is for five thousand doz-
en- knitted garments and the factory
has five months in which to deliver
all of the 10000 garments. The order
is from John V. Farwell Co., of Chi
cago, one of the largest houses in the
city. Cliff & Goodrich wired the Ocala
Knitting Mills for a price on this
quantity of goods, giving sizes and
grades wanted for the firm, and the
information was wired back to them
by Mr.. Booth. Mr.. Booths prices
were satisfactory and the contract
was made without further CORES
pondence, so well established is the
quality of work of the Ocala mill.
The success of this mill has beer
phenomenal. In a few months it has
grown from a dream to a big reality
Today there are six knitting machines
running over time, one having beer
put in during the last two or three
days, and four more will be installed
within a few weeks-by the first o1
the year, it is hoped. Just as soon as
the factory can move in it's new home
and have the room needed, these ter
machines will run night and day, one
man being able to tend them, while
they knit enough web during the "a
hours to keep a hundred hands EN-.
ployed for ten hours day. The Sta,

and found forty people employed. Il

whatever quarter it may come, the
aggression we ourselves will not prac-
tice. We insist upon security in
prosecuting our self-chosen lines of
national development. We do more
than that. We demand it also for
Others"
War, the president declared, was

as a means of asserting the rights of

or dictatorial power within our own
nation as from aggression from with

ma ntain standing army except for
uses which are as necessary in times
of peace as in times of war, but that
the country did believe, in body of
free citizens ready and sufficient to
take care of themselves and of the
government.
"But war has never been a mere
matter of men and arms" he continu-
ed. "It is a thing of disciplined
might. If our citizens are ever to

mons, they must know how modern
| fighting is done, and what to do when
the summons comes to render them
selves Immediately available and i'm
mediately effective. And the govern
ment must be their servant in this
matter, must supply them with the
training they need to take care of
themselves and of it. The military
arm of their government, which they
will not allow to direct them, they
may properly use to serve them and
make their independence secure-and
not their own independence merely,
but the rights also of those with
whom they have made common cause,
should they also be put in jeopardy"
The president presented the war de-
partment plans for Strengthening the
army as 'the essential first step" and
''for the present sufficient" The plans
include the increasing of the standing
army to a force of 141, ,843 men of all
services, and the establishment of a
supplementary force of 100000 dis
ciplined citizens, who would undergo
training for short periods throughout
three years of a six years enlist
ment.
