POINTS OF VIEW.


Mr. Alfred Taylor received an in
/ teIesting handkerchief few days
a go from one Of his aunts in Eng
land. 1t is tan-coIored mercerized
cotton about 80 by "a inches in
size and has complete map of the
countries aad waters of the war zone
in Europe printed in black ink and
DordeIed in d red, white and blue
design with flags OF the warning ma
ions in the corners. You might
like to know where this handker-
chief came from but an English ad-
dress is too complicated TO attempt
from memory. Mrs. Murray Weems
has an uncle in England who is a
clergyman and lives in a handsome
house, of which she has a picture
and when she writes to him this is
the address:
Rev. William ]. Wood,
The Deanery,
Illketshall,
Bunnyan's,
Suffolk
England.
How would you like to be a ru-
raj route carrier in such a land?
Speaking of things British re-
minds me that all the daily papers
have been reporting the capture Of
The German cruiser, Karlsruhe,
which overlook the English liner,
Van Dyck, on which Mrs. Preston
Rambo was coming to New York.
The speedy British cruiser, Prin-
cess Royal, was in the same neigh
borhood at that time The Vestris,
companion ship of the Van Dyck,
escaped the Karlsruhe by making
wide detours. The news went from
the British West Indies to the Mon
treal Gazette, Canada
Mrs. Rambo was showing us two
collars of exquisite lace and four
yards each of insertion and edging
to match when l asked her why the
Van Dyck did not hug the shore and
SO remain in safety. She smoothed
the lace over her silken lap cares
singly and said: This lace came
from the Island of Barbados in the
British West Indies and it did not
cost five dollars. British ships al
ways stop at Barbados.
Ladies from Ireland have gone
over there and taught the natives
to do many kinds of needle work,
to make laces and also the most
delicious jams and preserves of the
native fruits: left an order for a
supply of jams to be ready when I
go home so l can stop there and get
it,.
SO the elegant cheap handmade
laces and orange marmelade on Bar
BADGES lured the Van Dycq into the
Jaws of the Karlsruhe.
But whether the British Liner
was sunk or not is a question.
The idea of utterly destroying
fine new steamboat which cou d
have been carried into some obscure
island harbor and changed into a
German vessel at little expense
Once upon a time Olive TOoan

COUNTRY RESIDENCE
FOR THE CROWN PRINCE
tBy Associated Press. !

Berlin, Sept. % The splendid
country residence for the Crown
Prince on the Jungfernses, broad
arm of the Havel at Potsdam, has
now been completed in the rough
and will be ready for occupancy by
next spring. The erection Of the pal
ace was rendered necessary, 1t is ex-
planned, by reason Of the increase in
the Princes family. The emperor
supplied the money for building, and
it will remain the property Of the
Crown, to become the residence of
future crown princes.
The palace is really group Of
buildings centering upon not less
than five courts and covering about
10000 square yards. There are
apartments for the Crown Prince
himself, then for the Crown Princess
and children; others for the officials
of his court, and still others for the
, servants. Not less than four ap.
proaches for vehicles will be made
one for members of the royal fam
lily, which leads into the court OF
honor, a second for guests and the
court officials, third for the chill
dren of the royal couple, and a
fourth for trades people and serv-
ants. The buildings will be sur
rounded by spacious grounds, part
ly terraced; there will be two so
called rose gardens, and these, a.
we'll as the rest of the establish
ment, will give beautiful views ovel
the Havel lakes. The buildings arr
rather low and of simple outlines
with high roofs covered with rec
tiles. The palace will be just goot
modern house, with an abundance
of room and with modern comforts
which are rather scarce in the olde
palaces of Germany. There will be
for example, not less than twent,
bath rooms.

SUBJECT OF STATE CATTLE
CONVENTION TO BE UP
AT GAINESVILLE

Jacksonville, Sept. 23.-Cattle
for beef in Florida and the
of holding a convention
where the same may be set forth
clearly before the packer and the in
vestor, will make part of the pro-
gram, perhaps. of the Citrus Semi
mar, which will take place in Gaines
Vile Oct. SIS inclusive. Manager
George NJ. Chaplin, Florida depart
ment Southern Settlement and De-
velopment Organization, has had
this matter up with some of the best
authorities of the state recently and
it was originally planned to have e
great cattle convention in the south
ern part Of the state some time in
November, to which investors in
Florida grazing lands and represen-
tatives Of packers would be invited.
On advice, however, definite action
along this line was deferred.
There have been ideas advanced
to the effect that the best time to
hold this affair would be in Tampa
during Gasparilla week in February.
1t is believed that at this time a
much larger number of interested
cattle buyers and investors would he
present. The matter will be set
tied, however, at he meeting in
Gainesville.
This cattle convention has been
proposed under the plans of the
Southern Settlement & Development
Organization for some time. Through
concerted effort, it is believed thai
the meat products of the state cOult
be sold to much greater advantage
as well as unoccupied land used eol
cattle ranges.

IAN MOBILIZATION
(By Associated Press.)

London, Sept 23 .--Dvinsk, a
strongly fortified Russian city on the
Dvina, 100 miles southeast of Riga,
is the new German objective, now
that the Russian armies have es-
capped from the wilma net. The Ger
man forces east and southeast of
Lida are progressing rapidly, bu.
the increased speed is not expected
to help them much because the safe
retreat of the Russian armies Is as
sured. The chief German success Of
the last day or two has been along
the 'Dvina front barring the road to
Petrograd. Southwest of Dvinsk the
invaders have captured Russian
trenches on front of nearly two
miles, taking two thousand prison.
ers and eight machine guns. Nea,.
Friedrichstadt the Russians gained
minor success.
The Russian domestic situation is
quiescent and the strike protesting
against the propagation Of the Duma
Is suspended. but may be revived II
the government persists in opposing
the movement favoring the reassem-
bling of parliament and permitting
the formation OF new cabinet.
The French report the destruction
of a German patrol In Champagne
on the western front, but the Ger
mans claim that the patrol was
withdrawn after destroying the
French works.
Keen interest continues in the
Bulgarian mobilization, but no one
seems to know just what purpose Is
debating the movement.

GERMANS RECONSTRUCT
THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
IN BELGIUM
(By Associated Press. J

Brussels, Belgium, Sept. 23-The
German administration in Belgium
has so far succeeded in reconstruct
ing the financial system of the coun-
try that number of the larger busi-
nesses, such as the big factories, coal
mines and bank, which practically
came to a standstill year ago, have
been able to resume operations.
The withdrawal of the directors
of the National Bank to london IN
August, 1914, who took with them
it's gold stock and the plates for
printing notes, left the country
without solid basis for its currency
system. Notes were in circulation,
but there was no gold with which to
redeem them; and there was danger
that the circulation might be FUR
ther expanded through new issues oil
the Belpian government in London,
which could easily be smuggled into
the country. Soon after the occupa-
tion of Belgian territory the German
government deputized DIR. Won
Lumm, one of the most efficient di-
rectors of the Reicsbank, to proceed
to Belgium and take in charge the
rehabilitation of the currency sys-
tenn. As the officials of the National
Bank had refused to return to Brus-
sells OF restore its assets, it became
| necessary to find a new way OF Sc
curing the note circulation.
| At the same time the German au-
thorities were levying war contribu-
tions upon various Belgian cities to
raise money for meeting the expenses
of governing the occupied territory
l-contributions which could not
leasily he raised in the form OF cash.
The cities were therefore asked to
Tissue their certificates of indebted
ness payable at some future time,
land il was decided to use these as
lone form of security for new notes
besides bank balances abroad, Ger
Imam gold and other CURRENCY. As
the National Bank had refused to
continue the further discharge of its
functions. the note-issuing power
was conferred upon the Societe Cen
eral de Belgique. the Oldest and
Largest banking company OF the
country.
This concern has now been sery'
ing for some months as bank OF Is
sue, and its notes have come into
general circulation. Especially 1T
smaller notes are in great demand
;. the silver currency having long ago
disappeared by reason Of boarding.

LANDLORDS SEEK LOAN
ON CLAIMS FOR RENT
(By Associated Press.)

Paris. Sept. 23.-Landlords in
need Of money, unable to collect rent
pending the lifting of the morato--
ium as applied to rents, met recent
ly to discuss the possibility of bor-
rowing money with recent receipts
as collateral security. The president
of their association told them frank
ly that they must abandon all hope
of making any such loans. for in the
present state of the question no one
would lend money on any claim for
rent. 1t was disclosed at this meet
ing that only 33 per cent Of the
total amount due for rentals since
July 81, 1914, had been paid, and
that $40 million francs remained due
at the end OF the quarter of April
15-July Is this year.
