provement of relations of all kinds

make speciality of extended and re-
liable trade and business sections and
reports, for the special benefit of Ger
man commercial circles. The paper
will also issue a year book for the
Society, gotten up by prominent
statesmen, authors and educational

In January of next year the Society
plans to bring to Germany number
OF Bulgarian artists and musicians
who will hold expositions and exhibit
tions here.
The membership of the Society has
been steadily on the increase ever
since Bulgaria entered the war, and
the organization has been supported
and financed by very considerable do
nations from both German and Bull
garian sources. The money subscribed
is sufficient to carry out all of the
ambitious plans of the Society for
next year.

Miami, Nov. 15.-There is law
which forbids any unauthorized per-
son from wearing the uniform of a
United States soldier, and r. T. Thurs
ton an aged negro from the Bahamas,
had this point of law impressed on
him this morning in Justice J. J.
Combs court to such an extent that
he probably never will forget 1t.
Thurston's case was somewhat out of
the ordinary and it brought out a story
of economy that could we'll be adopted
by man, many people in better cir
cumstances than the Nassau negro.
Thurston got his suit of govern

of the men who cast their vote in the
last election was born. 1t was in

Key West There had been a fire of
some sort and the negro had helped
put it out "a rich genmen toP me

Thurston-and he did so He gave
him a pair of blue trOusers-soldier
trousers and a dark blue coat all
covered with shining brass buttons.

eyes of the negro, and he treasured
that suit more than any earthly pos
session. Down i'm the bottom of his
trunk it was packed away. carefully

and feasted heartily. Enough of the
blue was left, however, from the ban
quot to resemble a uniform. and a
short time ago Thurston got II out
again, pressed it and patched it and
donned the outfit, appearing in public
with all the pomp of major.

10 never, never wear the uniform
again. 1t had been given him-away

The negro had been married in the
uniform in 1881, and had no idea he
was violating the laws OF the land.

1t is a great pleasure to meet the
Tampa boys as | do every day. l have
been getting my meals lately with
the Supply Co., in which are three

Burkhead and Jones.
The Florida regiment is frequently
spoken of as the best looking, best
drilled and most gentlemanly one
that has been stationed here, which
is something for the home folks to be
proud of. In addition to the Florida
regiments we also have the First

We finished last night a series Of
four veangelistic meetings having as
the speaker S. Waters McGill, gen

an inspiring sight to see the men
press forward to give their names,
addresses and church preference.
This is an experience that doesn't
often come into a lifetime. I'm glad
to be here where service counts for
so much.

Impressed with the gravity of the

the Chamber of Commerce at it's

Whereas, according to published
reports in the press and from inform
alton received from other sources, a
general strike of railway engineers,
firemen, conductors, and other train
men and employees are threatened,
and
Whereas such a strike would re-
suit in untold great injury to the in

pie Of the United States inc would
paralize other business in such way
as to cause great suffering to mil

Whereas, the trouble appears to be

pressing any views for or against the
business of the claims of either party
to this controversy, it is the sense
of this Chamber of Commerce, that
the public interest and welfare of our
people and our country should be
fairly considered by both parties; and
Whereas, there exists a national
arbitration law which provides the
machinery for settling disputes over
and working conditions between
railroads and their employees, when
both PARTIES will agree to arbitrate;
