inmate.
With the British Armies in France.
Jan. 1.-The arrival OF 1917 was wei.
coined on the Western front by the
British and French soldiers as a be-
ginning of the end of the great world
war.
There are varying views and theo-
ries as To how the end is to be
brought about, but there is no ques-
ton that throughout the British ar.
my there is conviction that the next
twelve months will bring a victorious
peace to the allies
Opinion among the British and
French fighters as TO how the war
will end is divided into two schools.
One believes that Germany will be
willing to grant extreme concessions
and the other that only military pres
sure will bring them the fruits of vic
tory. Both schools are, however,
agreed hat this is the decisive year.
On most sectors of the British
front the new year made its bow with
little ceremony.
SO many flares and rockets are
sen up from the trenches on these
long dark winter nights that it is
impossible to say how many of these
were in honor of 1917.
Guns of All Caliber.
There is one sector, however, where
the British artillery followed the
practice adopted last year of welcom-
ing Jan. l with salvos against their
enemy from guns of all calibers, along
this front, everything from machine
guns to the biggest of the heaviest
joining in firing, first one round, then
nine, then one and finally seven.
I'VE do DOT know whether the Ger
a recognized it or not, but we
will try them again" said an artil-
lery captain, as he started for a dis
tant part of the line to give the nee
essary instructions.
In sending this fiery greetings to
the Germans there was a further
complication of difference of time, the
Germans observing continental time,
which is one hour ahead of the British
and French clocks. To avoid all
doubt the British artillery fired sig
nal salvos at both IL o'clock and mid.
guns.
Low black clouds seudded over the
battle area the last night OF the old
year and its successor was borne on
a bowling wind, which caught up and
carried away the thunder of the
guns
The grim booming was swept far
beyond the battle lines until 1t min
gled with the church bell, summoning
the people to prayer in the war
bound villages of France.

Congress RecOnveneS Fol-
lowing Holidays.
LEADERS ARE DOUBTFUL
Are Inclined to View the Legislative
Accumulation With Despair and
Congress Wiil Be Demanded.

Washington, Jan. congress re.
convened today to face a great a
OF business, including railroad legis
lation urged by President Wilson TO
supplant the Adamson act and the
problem OF how to meet a big treas.
ury deficit for the fiscal year 1918
These salient issues ~ Ist be given
consideration together with the an
rual appropriation bills, only one of
which has passed both houses. and
many general legislative measures
that long have been awaiting action.
As less than two months remain In
the life OF the present session admin.
istration leaders returning FROM tie
holiday vacation are inclined to view
the legislative accumulation with
der pair and to fear that an extra SEES
sion of the new and politically s'.me.
what uncertain congress will be de-
handed.
President Wilson's action on Sat
urday In again emphasizing his earn
est desire for railroad strike proven
ton legislation by a visit to Senator
Newlands at the Capitol served TO
quicken already intense interest In
the subject.
Opposition 10 Evident.
Interest. however. is not one sided
and strong opposition in both houses
gives assurance OF a keen legislative
contest, with the result In doubt.
The other overshadowing problem
before congress, the revenue produc.
ing necessity. will be taken up by the
ways and means committee immedi.
ately.
Among revenue raising possible.
ties are a proposed increase In the
normal income tax, restoration OF tar
liz duties on wool, rubber and coffee,
increased liquor and other internal
revenue taxes and horizontal customs
increases.
The house still has nine big ap.
preparation bills. including the sup.
ply measures for the reconstructed
army and navy, and the senate has
thirteen appropriation bills to dispose
OF. Both houses r expected to
plunge into this work Immediately.
The immigration conference report
awaits action. a vocational education
al bill and many conservation meas
ures are pending. A corrupt practices
bill, now being reconstructed In the
senate subcommittee on privileges
and elections, Is to be pressed and
proposed suffrage and prohibition
constitutional amendments must be
disposed of one way or another.

"CivilizatiOn" at kalbfieId's,

Thos. H. Ince's master picture pro-
duction, "Civilization," which picture
critics in New York, Chicago and 9TH
er large cities of the country unite in
pronouncing the most wonderful pic
ture ever shown in this country, will
be seen at Kalbfield's Grand next Mon
day night.
This picture has so far only been
shown in two cities of the south
Tampa and Jacksonville. 1t will go
from Palatka to Atlanta for a long
run.
Of it's display in Jacksonville, the
Times Union said:
"Civilization" should have really
been entitled "Barbarism," for that is
what is shown to be the prevailing
spirit of the world as seen in its
thousands of feet of film, but for sa-
tiric effect it has been named "Civili-
zation."
The central war figure is the king
of an imaginary nation who, by his
one word, plunges the world into con-
fict. He personifes the royal power
and blood lust which brought on a
great war and, although great care
has been taken to avoid specifying
either country or ruler, there is not

Speaking of Cats.

Fred Cochrane of the Palatka Sta
tionery Company has one of the finest
specimens of the family Felidae evel
seen in these parts. 1t is a genuine
wild Tomuel Cat, and was caught in
trap in a swamp near Hollister last
Saturday.
Mr.. Cochrane was on his way to
Gainesville and when about ten miles
out he came upon young man with
a big fertilizer sack which he was
handling rather "gingerly."
What you got there?" asked Mr..
Cochrane.
"Got a big wild cat; want to see
him." replied the young man.
"No, l don't care about you're open
ing up that SACK" replied the Palatka
man.
80, he's fast; he can't hurt, I've got
his feet wired together" said the boy
as he opend up the sack and grabbed
the cat by the back of the neck, lift
ing him out. And there was sure
enough big cat. After admiring the
beast moment or two, Mr.. Cochrane
struck a bargain with the young man
and continued his journey on to
Gainesville with the cat in the sack
lying in the back of his machine.
In Gainesville he secured box in
which he returned to Palatka with
his pet He arrived here long af-
ter midnight and with the aid of
man familiar with cats he soon i'm
provised a cage made of box faced
with heavy wire netting. The cat was
held by Mr.. Cochrane's helper, who
grabbed it by the scruff of the neck
while Mr.. Cochrane held it's feet and
with some clippers cut the wire which
bound them. Then old Tom, who has
since been named LEO" in honor of
one of our distinguished citizens, was
pushed head-frst into the new cage.
The cat has been on exhibition all the
week in front of the Cochrane store
and has had many admirers. He has
been teased by many and of course
when they nag him his catship does
some growing. One man who placed
his hand against the wire netting got
it pretty severely scratched.
Mr.. Cochrane is having a larger
cage of iron built for the cat and will
Keep him on exhibition. The cat was
not injured by the trap, no bones hav-
ng been broken, and the swelling is
'apidly disappearing.
