London, Aug. 21.-Ttalian troops

ACTIVE Italian participation in the
Safoniki campaign would mean war
between Italy and Germany, and is
also taken to mean the allies have
embarked on campaign of extern
sive proportions in the Balkans as
there are already believed to be
100000 British, French and Ser
bians on the Saloniki front, where
hostilites on large scale were OPP
ened last week. The Bulgarians
are aided by the Germans, some
Turks and Austrians, although 1t has
been indicated that many Austrians
have been sent to the Italian and
Russian fronts.
France announces the repulse of a
German liquid fire attack against
Fleury and reports artillery raging
along the Somme front. Russia an
nounces additional advances along
the Stokhod river, claiming the cap
ture of 1900 prisoners and many
guns the last two days A delayed

To the Democrats of Florida:

~ lHe DemOCTdlS VI FlOTluh'
On July 3rd filed contest pro-
ceeding in Baker county to throw
out the entire vote of Sanderson and
Glen st. Mary precincts for the reas-
on that so many irregularities had
been reported to be in the holding
of the election at those precincts
that ] believed that he integrity of
the election held in said precincts
had been entirely destroyed, and
that the whole vote in those pre-
cincts should be thrown out alto
gether. After the decision of the
Supreme court that mandamus was
the proper proceeding to pursue, |
had my attorneys present petition
for mandamus to Judge Wills to
have Sanderson Maccleny, Glenn st,
Mary and Taylor precincts recount
ed, so as to ascertain If possible what
the electors actually marked upon
their ballots. The vote as first re-
turned by the inspectors Of those
precincts gave majorities in favor of
Mr.. Cats
Judge Wills issued the writ and
the inspectors from the several pre-
cincts met in Maccleny August Is
for the purpose of recounting the
ballots pursuant to the writ Of man
damus isued by Judge Willis on my
petition. The supervisor of regis
tration and the county Judge deliv-
cred the ballot box of Glen st. Mary
to the inspectors for the purpose of
recounting the ballots. When the in
spectors opened the ballot box 1t was
found that the box had been robbed
and not a single ballot was in the
box
From this it would appear that
some of the Cats supporters have
been driven to desperation, in order
to prevent a fair and accurate count
Of the ballots as actually marked by
the electors in the late primary. For
two months, through his counsel,
Mr.. Cats has fought me in the
courts with every technically which
his lawyers could devise. The sum
total of his technicalities presented
by his attorneys to the Supreme
court by their decision made it very
clear that all those technicalities
were without merit 'and none of
them was sufficient to prevent fair,
accurate, and honest count OF the
ballots as actually marked by the

PORTO RICAN HAS INCOME
OF OVER 100000 A YEAR

San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 21.-
One man in Porto Rico had an income
in excess of 100000 last year, ac-
lcording to income tax returns just an
inounced by the tax bureau Of the In
,sular Treasury This was the largest
single income the tax department dis
covered and it is almost twice as
large as the largest individual income
reported to the same authorities the
year before, when there was but one
income above $4,000 taxed.
Of the largest individual incomes
recorded for 1915 there are twenty In
excess of $4,000, and of these twen-
ty, fourteen range between $4,000
and $4,000; five between $4,000 and
nS1OO 900 and one above 100000.
.Sixty-six individuals are assessed on
personal incomes ranging between
500 900 and $4,000.
In all there are 957 individuals and
l131 corporations taxed on income
The total revenue amounts to $l2O,'
900. as compared with $4,000 for the
previous year.
High prices for sugar have been re-
sponsible for most of the biggest In
comes, officials say, and still larger
incomes and more individuals having
incomes large enough to be taxed are
predicted for the current year.
