PORCELAIN PLANT PART OF WAR
 MACHINE

PARIS, Sept. 25. The world. famed national porcelain factory at Sevres has suddenly been transformed into part of the huge war machine. Instead of making those dainty and fragile statuettes and vases which are the wonder of art collectors, 1t is turning out 'potteries de guerre,' or earthenware retorts and cauldrons for manufacturing asphyxiating gas and for all the various chemical processes of producing high explosives. Even the famous artists whose names are associated with the delicate coloring of Sevres porcelain, are now exercis- ing their art in enameling these huge retOrts so as to make them more re- sistent to the acids and chemicals used in the war processes.

Fair Treatment
OF Tourists

There is some talk in Jacksonville
Iof unfair treatment of tourists. our
regular winter visitors, and hotel men
and others are saying that people are
being driven from Jacksonville by
high prices. This is not plea for
lower prices and it is not a criticism Of
Ianybody in particular. What it is is
an effort to make people see that
making prey of tourists will do for
Jacksonville and. through this city.
for all Florida.
In the first place, the tourist is not
prey. He is human, like the rest
of us. Attracted by our superior. eli
mate and other advantages, when his
onw section is snowbound and held in
the grip of Boreas, he comes to us ex-
pecting fair treatment. Usually he
finds it, but sometimes his reception
is such as to forever make his recall
Floridians as having tried to stick"
him. 1t leaves an unpleasant taste
in his mouth for Florida and he for
ever bears a rightful grudge.
1t is fortunate that few people prac-
tice such policies. But those few who
hold to this unfair method of dealing
with our winter visitors harm the
many and reap no benefit themselves.
The tourist comes to Florida expect
ing to spend his money. But he does
not care to be held up" When he is
treated in such a manner he becomes,
instead of friend of the State, con-
slant and consistent "knocker," and
person cannot greatly
blame him.
The tourist travel every winter is a
big thing for Florida. Thousands of
visitors come to the State expecting
to find climate where they may
spend the winter months away from
the rigors of the North. They expect
to pay for the privilege, but they do
not expect or intend to pay several
prices when home people" pay one. !
Most Florida communities have tax
en- steps to safeguard the interests of
their annual visitors. Others are con-
stantly righting those wrongs that
creep into the community lifte. Jack !
has it's own dirty linen in this
and it would be we'll to do
our laundering before the winter sea-
son sets in and meet the tourist with
a welcome which means that he can
come to Jacksonville and, without pay
ing unusual prices be with us, of us
and among us.

ENTER RUMANIA

1t is not improbable that the entrance of Rumania
into the European war at this time will mean to William
of Hohenzollern what the untimely arrival OF Butcher at
Waterloo meant to Napoleon of Corsica II years ago.
With the kaiser's forces presumably taxed to their ut
most on all important points, Rumania not only throws
her armies into the breach but opens her territory to the
invasion of Bulgaria and to an attack from the north on
the line of communication connecting Bulgaria and lur-
key with the central empires. This line Will now be
threatened by joint attacks from the armies OF Russia and
Rumania on the north and the other armies of the allies
operating from Salonika on the south. 1t will probably
also mean the entrance of Greece and her armies on the
side of the allies.
If Rumania had done a year ago what she did yester-
day, the line from Berlin to Constantinople would never
have been established, and Servia would not have been
by the Teuton forces.
Rumania has a territory larger by 10000 square
miles than either Greece or Bulgaria. She has a popula-
ton of 100000 as against Bulgaria's 100000. Her
population slightly exceeds that of Belgium. She has
compulsory universal military service with a standing
army of 1900 and 100000 reserves, and IS believed to
be able, under extreme necessity, to mobilize 100000 men.
Her reserves are already believed to be equipped and ready
for action.
However, military authorities are likely to attach
more importance to the opening of Bulgarian territory to
the forces of the Entente allies and to the armies OF Rus
STA than to any assistance which the Rumanian armies
NAV otherwise contribute, however effective and efficient
that service may be.
The formal declaration by Italy of war against Ger
many. which also occurred Yesterday, will have little sig
nificance compared with the action of Rumanla, for Italy
Germany herself. The formal declaration may count for
something 'in looks but not in turning the tide of bat
tie. Bulgaria is likely to become a second Belgium, Tor
the war will now be conferred on her territory, a domain
five times as large as that of Belgium, and halt as large
as Nevada, but most of it mountains.

OUTWITTING THE FLY

In the battle against flies their peculiarities have been
discovered. A writer for a household department. says
she has found a way of getting the pests out OF the house
in a short time. The screens are made about one inch
shorter than the recognized fly screen OF commerce So
that when they are placed in the window frames, one
inch Of naked air intervenes above the top 1T the screen
and the bottom of the upper sash.
The writer points out that the fly on the outside,
through some unexplained reason OF some kind IN his
mental aDDarat11s. never thinks it possible for him to en-
ter through the aperture, regardless OF the temptation
that NAV be offered. On the other hand, the writ II says
the fly on the inside lights on the window screen and
yrawls up until it reaches the open space and then leaves
the room.
The writer's articles appeared in a recent household
publication, and she predicts that the welding of the
flv-swatter will soon be a thing Of the past. She sees the
f1v-swatter factories going out of existence.
1t is generally felt that the mentality of the fly is OF
such strength that he will soon study out some method
of getting into the house and endeavoring to stay there.
In view of this. it is hardly probable that any great num-
Der of people are going to the trouble of having their
screens sawed off.
Meantime, swat the fly.

WHAT is INVOLVED IN THE BALKANS?

Now that the war has been recommended IN the
Balkans, it has reached the really vital spot. The Balkan
countries are of more importance to the Germanlc dream
of conquest and empire than even Belgium or northern
France with their western seaports. The war began over
Serbia, not by accident, but by design. 1t is the Balkan
states which lie in the way OF the extension of the leuton1c
influence through Turkey to the Persian waters. The
Berlin to Bagdad' slogan, partially realized by the way
that was blazed through Serbia last year is, as Professor
Masarvk, the noted Bohemian scholar, recently said, the
kew to the whole war.
Austria had already deprived Bosnia and Hertzogo
vina of their separate existence. She accomplished this
coup while the Russians were still fighting the Japanese.
Serbia was to have been subjected IN the same manner
and all that Austria and Germany asked, as a condition
for peace in 1914, was permission to do as they pleased III
that matter.
It was Professor Masarvk's connection with those
matters that led to his exile and the prosecutions OF his
family in Austria. In 1000 there was the famous Agram
trial in which it was charged that 50 Serbo-Croats had
been guilty OF high treason. The evidence was in the
form of documents that Professor Masaryk showed to be
fOroeries-fOroed in the Austrian embassy at Belgrade.
Professor Masaryks shoWings were 50 conclusive as to
forgery that no reply was made to them, but, nevertheless,
basing her action on those false documents, Austria and
Hungary did annex the two southern countries.
Having gotten away with the first coup, Austria tired
another in 1914, using the assassination OF the crown
prince as the pretext, and 1t has never been shown that
the documents charging official Serbia with complc1ty III
that murder. were not forged also. But this time Pro-
fessor Masaryk was not permitted to come to the defense
of Serbia as she had come to the defense OF BOSNIA
though without avail. He was warned that he would be
shot if he returned to Austria from Italy Where ne had
gone.
The offensive from SalOnlca IS now to be made deter
minative as to the control OF those Balkan areas. 1t is a
vital phase OF the war. That Germany and Austria will
exert every influence to win in that theater need not be
doubted. If they lose in that sector it will hamper them
in every other sector, and it will put out OF existence the
greater dream OF a Ieutonlc empire with plenty OF room
in the sun.
And for the allies the thrust from the south IS equally
important. If they win there 1t will mean putting out or
operation two of the Teutonic allies, Turkey and Bulgaria
and it will mean the further disintegratiOn of Austria a
disinteerttiOn that will be almost fatal to her existence,
at least as a war power. That is why the seven nations
are fighting on the side of the allies in that theater after
nearly a wear Of preparation for the great undertaking,
If the thing goes through as it has started, 1t Will tor the
time being eclipse all other operations IN the great war.
