GERMANY Makes
Great EFFORT
Special Attention is Being
Given to Agriculture in
Poland.

Petrograd, Nov. 19.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press)-The
enterprise with which Germany has
undertaken the development Of Poland
during the past few months puts rath-
or In the shade the efforts that tho
Russian government put forth at vari-
Gus times In that portion Of its domain.
Apart from the reconstruction Of the
network Of railways. special attention
10 being given by the Germans to the
roads and to agriculture. Lodx has
been repaved, and the important main
roads as far as Warsaw have been re-
stored and multiplied in accordance
with plans prepared by German en-
gfneers. The paving material is said
to be of excellent quality, brought
from Germany. The work IL practi-
cally all done by prisoners Of war.
In localities which suffered severely
from the blight Of war the houses are
being rebuilt with brick and mortar
brought from Germany. Devastated
fields have been plowed and sown with
clover and rye for early harvesting.
Factories whose machinery was not
dismantled by the Russians or Ger
mans are being organized for war
work of various kinds. Everywhere
pushed night and day. with either two
or three shifts of workmen to each
twenty-four hours.
Politically, there are also evidences
Of German attention, according to the
news which reaches Polish refugees
along the Russian frontier. For pur-
poses Of present administration, Po-
land has been divided into German
and Austrian spheres of influence.
Meanwhile various proposals for q
moro permanent local government are
being considered. A National Council
has been created in Warsaw, compos-
ed Of all the leading Polish politicians
who remain. together with the man
ager OF the Warsaw land bank and the
head Of the Society of Journalists The
populace is not allowed to take any
part In local government as yet. how
ever, and Governor General Beseler
recently issued a special warning to
Polish citizens to refrain from politi-
cal discussion. which he said would be
repressed rigidly for the present.
There is much poverty and distress
in the larger Polish towns, especially
In Warsaw. In an effort to provide
Tor this. the local German authorities
propose to introduce special hunger

BAD POLICY

Messrs. Henry Homer and Francis
Young of the American Audit Co. or
New York, who have been auditing
the city's books, have finished their
work. They have been engaged on
the books for over two weeks and the
price of their services will be $500
or more.
No doubt they have done their work
well. Their company has high rep
utation. But there are a number of
our own citizens who could have done
the work as well at half the cost and
kept the money at home.
The Star thinks it is mighty bad
policy, with all the able accountants
we have in ocala, to pay such dis
proportionate amount to have the
,city's books audited by men from a
distant city.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1915-01-19

avail ourselves of this great benefit
to Ocala and Marion county? Silver
Springs is now in the corporate limits
of OeaIa and we should utilize the
benefits offered.
In conclusion, / beg to say, in ap-
probation of this honor so unani-
mously rendered me by so many of
you, as well as the demonstrations of
esteem and sympathy given me by the
citizens of Ocala during my recent
serious illness, like Ruth to Naomi,
that wheresoever thou goest, will
go and wheresoever thou abideth
there will abide also, thy people
shall be my people and thy God shall
be my God.
Again l thank you for your pres
ence and the evidence of your con-
fidence.

ANOTHER REPLY TO
Mr.. ANDERSON

Mr.. R. L. Anderson, 0cala, Fla:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th
inst. has been received.
You probably do not know why the
Ocala paper did not publish all of my
letter, and if you do not,iI viii say
that the editor wrote me that ne did
not want to wound the feelings Of
your friends, and it was solely in def
erence to that request that I yielded
my consent to the suggested omis-
sions.
With reference to the lost papers
from the court file, have the sworn
testimony of H. C. Sistrunk and F. R.
Hooker to place by the side Of your
unsupported statement to substan-
tate what / have said.
You insinuated that someone has
conspired with me to make an attack
on you. If you have enough manhood
in you, which is very doubtful to me,
please have the moral courage to say
who am the "catspaw'' of, but if
you do not possess this courage then
have nothing more to say.
I bid you a hearty welcome to file
all the suits you desire. My name and
address is George w. Scofield, Inver-
ness, Fla, and am ready to answer
any summons that the sheriff may de-
liver to me.
/ / told the people who east their
votes for me for state attorney, that
! was not as large as the Office, but I
think that the circuit is also afflicted
with the calamity Of having you as a
citizen and member Of the bar.
Both my private life and public re-
cord in Alachua and Citrus counties IS
open for inspection by anyone, and ]
challenge you to point to a single act
Of mine that you, R. L. Anderson
have the right to frown at.
1t is very distasteful to me to carry
on this kind Of controversy, and
with this letter, the matter is now
!; closed. What l shall have to say te
you in future, will be communicated
, to you in person.
Yours very truly,
Geo. w. Scofeld, State Attorney.

DESERVES A VOTE OF THANKS

Judge David S. Williams, secretary
for six years of the Marion County
Fair Association, has turned over his
books to his successor.
At the next meeting of the direc-
tors, they should give Judge Will
Jams vote of thanks for his faith
full service.
The judge has put his heart into
his work. He has tried toegive ev-
erybody a fair deal and to be rigidly
impartial whenever wishes and inter
ests of fair patrons or exhibitors con-
f1icted. He has made his mistakes,
but he has done nobly with the
means at his hands and has never
failed in what he believed to be his
duty.
The Star believes that the fair will
grow and prosper from year to year
and soon will be much larger than it
ever has been before. But no matter
how great it may become, this gen
Grafton should never forget the faith
full work of its first. secretary VIC
has labored so untiringly in laying
the foundations.

ROBERT E. LEE

One of the things the South has q
right TO be proud of is the unalloyed
tribute the whole world pays to her
greatest hero, whose anniversary we
observe today.
The iconoclast has been busy the
last quarter century or more in pick
ing flaws in the characters of great
men. For perhaps the good reason
to teach US that we must not expect
too much of living, persistent efforts
have been made to remove the halos
from the dead.
Franklin, according to the icono-
clasts, was a libertine; Washington
liked his booze, swore like trooper,
and imposed on his weaker neighbors;
Webster was a drunkard; Clay was a
gambler; Lincoln told filthy stories;
Grant was an easy mark for conf
dence men. But no one, north or
south, has come forward with any
thing to impair the reputation of
Robert E Lee.
The opinion that the South formed
of him fifty years ago-that he was a
clean, courteous and honorable gen
tleman as well as great soldier-has
never been disturbed. No scandal
ever attached to him; not even right
eous indignation ever caused him to
sswear at delinquent as Washington
swOre at subordinate at Monmouth;
nobody has ever imagined his saying
anything that woman or child might
not hear; when he sheathed the sword
he took up honorable and useful work
and carried it on to the end of his
days and as time goes on, the north
ern states and all the world under
stands more and more why the South
has idealized and can idolize the men,
Org of Robert E, Lee.
