Sidney j. Cats is a hard candidate
for his managers to train. He makes
a statement at one place and denies
at the next that he said it, according
to his fancy. He now denies that he
made any attack on the high school
girls of Florida, but his speech in
Jacksonville was geographically re-
ported, and these are his words, which
he cannot deny: ST don't know how it
is here in your city, but all through
out the state the high school girl
graduates stand on the street corners
with their dresses cut as low as pos
sible at the top, and as high as pos
sible at the bottom, hang around the
ice cream parlors and soft drink
stands to catch fellows for treats, and
go joy-riding with men, Indifferent as
to whether they are married or not. y

He made practically the same state
ment in Ocala, giving his audience to
infer that he conceded Ocala girls
might be all right, but he was suspic-
ious of those of other cities, presum-
ably of those of Orlando.

The allies are probably not worried,
and their enemies have no reason to
be elated over the advance of the
Turks and Bulgars in Southeastern
Rumania. The great bulk of the Ru-
manian kingdom is north of the
Danube, but about a sixth of it, the
Dobrudja, lies in the corner between
the Danube, the Black Sea and Bull
garia. 1t is in this corner that the
Bulgars and Turks have been success
full. The Dobrudja is a low, fiat
country, the terrain of which offers no
natural facilities for resistance. The
Roumanians do not seem to be try
ing very vigorously to defend it. They
rely on the line of the Danube to pro-
tect their country, and in the mean
time are attacking the Austrians
with vigor and effect in Pennsylvania.
The Danube is a big river and well
defended. There is very little chance
that the Turks and Bulgars will ever
win across it, even if they succeed in
driving the Roumanians back to it all
along the line. The Roumanians aided
by the Russians will probably hold
the northern half of the Dobrudja un-
til such time as they are ready to
attempt the counter invasion of Bull
garia.

PROLOGUE.

Herewith is presented the
first chapter of a fiction serial
dealing with what might hap
pen should European powers,
after they had settled their
own differences, wage war on
the United States. The author,
one of the best fiction writers
in the country, has based his
story upon thorough under
standing o. military, naval and
internal conditions in the Unit
ed States and upon a sound
knowledge of military and
economic history. The story
is not technical. It will hold
your interest from the first
line to the last, not alone
through the rapid and vivid
style of the story, but also be-
cause the author endeavors to
show how helpless the United
States would be in a state of
unpreparedness.

man on the sole ground that you
regard him as an "aristocrat," you
express your contempt for George
Washington and Robert E. Lee. If
ever there was an "aristocrat" by
birth, fortune and social position in
the United States it was General Lee
and there was never more modest,
unassuming, self-sacrifcing gentle
man.-Columbia State.
The great trouble about aristocrats
is that there are so blamed few of
them like Lee.

CHAPTER l..
The Scout Cruiser Salem.

TIME United States scout cruiser
Salem, Lieutenant Commander
Walter Barrett, was steaming
east in the north Atlantic as
fast as her twin turbines could take
her. On her trials, something over
eight years before, they had proved
twenty-five and nine-tenths knots an
hour, but so earnestly was young Han
lon, the chief engineer, now forcing the
engines that twenty-six knots and a
trifle over registered on the dial before
Barrett on the bridge. and every knot
and every fraction of knot on the
course he was steering was upon the
commanders own responsibility, In va
rance of his instructions and certain
to lead to a court martial if he failed
by the results of acting upon his own
initiative to justify his act.
For Barrett's orders upon leaving
Hampton Roads were to proceed at
once to Haiti-indeed. he had on board
and quartered In his own cabin the two
observation-disclosures. Banland and Cor
don-who were to proceed as soon as
possible to Port au Prince as personal
representatives of the president al
Washington to observe the course OF

an excellent young man and one OF
the Stars personal friends. No doubt
that he has many friends in the coun-
try, and would make good sheriff if
elected. He conducted wonderfully
effective personal campaign during
the primary, going into every corner
Of the county and making friends with
all the people. We have sincerely
tried to dissuade him from the resolve
to run as an independent. It's our
opinion that every man who went into
the primary is in honor bound to sup
port the nominees. Sheriff Galloway
is the nominee and it is the duty OF
democrats to support him, even tho
they personally prefer another man.

Refuse TO
Dredge a
Waterway

The Union Pacific system today
refused to comply with Tacoma's
request that 1t extend its dredg-
ing operations in the city water
way as far as the city's property,
near 18th and st. Paul avenue.
In letter to the council, Pres
ident j. ID. Farrell of the U. P.
explained that the expense was
not justifiable from the rail-
road company's standpoint, and
that he had no appropriation for
such work.
The city had hoped to deepen
the middle waterway for its en-
tire length, SO that steamers
could come as far south as 18th
street, thus making the city's
property available for deep sea
vessels. The U. P. at present is
dredging the channel in front of
its own property at the north
end of the channel, preparatory
to erecting warehouses and es-
tablishing factories along the
waterway.

"A Shetland Islands mother,
watching over her sick child in
cottage on the shore of sea in
let, saw German U-boat sub
merge in the channel way.
During the day the doctor had
called, saying that a British war
ship was expected to anchor in the
inlet before many hours. This
meant peril to the 500 lives of
the crew of the battleship.
Leaving her child alone in the
cottage, the mother made her way
to the postoffice and reported
what she had seen.
Returning quickly to the side
of the child, she found 1t dead.

There was sharp fight. The
