THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
AND THE PEOPLE

The Associated Press has sent out
statement that, with the approval
OF General Wood. Captain J. c. II.
Lee has prepared an official mem
orandum on the use of The Star
Spangled Banner, the National An
them.
is entitled to the deepest respect and
that it should never be played at a
motion picture performance, nor as a
medley or march nor for dance. 1t
should be played through once, with
out repetition and without alteration
of any sort. 1t may be properly
played at the beginning or closing of
program or concert Attention is di-
rccted to the careless use of the an
them and a plea made for ceremonial
respect for the official national an
them"
No objection will be made to the
statemen that the anthem should bs
treated with the greatest respect, but
if it is the National Anthem. it be-
longs to the people of the Nation and
is theirs to listen TO at will
As TO dancing by it, that is quite
another matter, as 10 treat it with
respect includes standing at atten.
ion, but in the movies its playing at
appropriate places in the picture
adds greatly to the sentiment of pa
triotism.
As a matter of fact the Star-Span
gled Banner, while generally ac
knowledged as the National Anthem,
! has never officially been so declared
7 and all the rules in regard to its play
/ ing must be suggestive, rather than
authoritative. With Flag proper re
4 spect may be enforced, but until the
4 Spangled Banner as the National An
{ them, it would seem that army off
cials might find employment in the
activities for which they are really
responsible and leave the patriotic
music of the country with the peo
pie to whom it belongs
No American is going to treat ths
Star-Spangled Banner with disre
spect. and any other than an Amer
lean in this country at the presen
time who should attempt to do 81
would be summarily dealt with b!
any real American-Clearwat Sun

.BUS LINE ORLANDO
TO LAKELAND
IS SPRopOStD'

Orlando Reporter Star: Several
bus lines radiating from Orlando will
be established in the near future. A
sufficient number Of cars will be in
Daytona, Lakeland, Oakland Lees
burgs, Tavares, and intervening towns
1t will be known as the Orange Belt
Line. A. c. Marshall, who Is the
: originator. and promoters Of be, pro
ject stated today that he expected the
line to Daytona to be in operation by
July A.
The cars have been ordered" said
Mr.. Marshall. "and we expect them in
few days. An article appeared in
the Times Union yesterday. which
was probably given out by the agent
who sold the cars, stating that the
company had been chartered. This
last statement is slightly in error.
The company has not been chartered
as yet. but it will be in due time,
vately until the company is author
iZed to do business
THE establishment of this line
rs will do more than anything yet to
bring people to Orlando" said Mr.
Marshall 1T will be of great advan
tage to the people stopping here for
the winter to be able to go the beach
rs and back in a day at moderate eX-
pense. We expect to operate double
daily service to Daytona and to other
points. To some of the nearer points
we will give better than a double
daily service"
Mr. Marshall stated that the line
TO Lakeland would be inaugurated as
soon as Polk County had finished its
roads in that section. There's already
a hard road to Daytona with the ex.
ception of the last eight miles. which
is contracted for, and will be built
soon.
w The cars to be used on these bus
lines are of White manufacture. Mr.
Marshall states that the number viii
be increased to meet the demands o
the traffic The seating capacity is
from twelve to twenty-four passengers
}.75 to each car
One line will operate from Orlan
do to Daytona Beach passing through

No Coal Shortage
Here, Says Schley

New York City has enough coal to
last till tomorrow morning, and that
is all" officials of the New York Coal
Merchants Association said yesterday
at meeting in the Flatiron Building.
The shortage. of course, refers TO the
supply of retail dealers.
But their doleful view Of the coal
shortage could not be seen by Reeve
Schley Coal Administrator for New
York. He was cheerful over the fact
that 10000 tons were being landed
somewhere in Manhattan" for dis
tribution among the small dealers who
sell to the poor. Mr.. Schley would not
say where the precious cargo was be
ing stored, fearing a raid by nervous
citizens.
In the afternoon Albert II. Virgins,
State Fuel Administrator, and City
Market Commissioner Moskowitz held
a conference. which neither would dis
cuss.
Mr.. Schley said that some complaints
from apartment house owners were not
well founded Many apartment house
easements were overstocked, he said.
while janitors and owners found 1t
handy TO blame war conditions when
tenants complained of cold flats. He
was asked if he could supply apart
ment houses that were actually with
out coal.
"a could" said Mr.. Schley. "but be-
fore | furnished one ton of coal TO an
apartment house I'd have to satisfy
myself that the owner did not have
fifty tons slowed away in his base

from their schools, do you?" he asked.
"On the contrary, the Germans are
going ahead on the theory that they
will have great need of persons OF
their own race who can speak English.
This thing of declaring war on every
thing German can be carried too tar
When the war is over we will have 10

will find it profitable TO go over there
They will find a knowledge Of German

tions approving of "the evident pur-
pose of the school authorities. to re-
move from the school system those IN
whom loyalty TO the United States Is

Hindu Refuses to
Testify of Plot

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27. Jodh
Singh, called as principal government
witness in the trial Of thirty-four per-
sons charged with conspiring to foment
revolution against British rule in In
dia, refused to testify to-day after no
had submitted a list of questions as to
mis- rights to Judge William c. Van
Fleet, in the United States District
Court. He pleaded guilty to con-
spiracy charge.
Iodh Singh's refusal brought burst
OF cheers and chatter Of native Hin
dustsni from the Hindu defendants In
the case.
United States District Attorney John
W. Preston gave a preamble TO the tes-
timony that was to come, telling what
the government hoped to show by the
witness.
Jodh Singh would chronicle, said
Preston, a trip he had made in the In.
terests of the alleged conspiracy from
Rio de Janeiro to Berlin, New YORK,
Chicago and San Francisco. Preston
said tho witness would tell of the op-
erations of the alleged Berlin-lndis
committee, anu VI Hls tlOSc aSSONiatlOH
with German consular officers IN the
cities he had visited
Jodh Singh was called to the stand,
and he refused to be sworn. He took
an oath of affirmation. Turning TO the
judge, he said:
Before we proceed further | have
some notes to submit, and II these are
answered to my satisfaction | shall
testify" He gave Judge Van Fleet this
list of questions:
as this a free country? Shall be
allowed to stay here? Am | allowed
the right to have an attorney? Will
my countrymen be permitted to hear
my testimony"
Judge van Fleet answered that this
was free country; that Jodh Singh's
presence in this country rested with
the government, and that he would be
allowed an attorney. The answers
failed to satisfy the Hindu, and he
said:
We'll, ! refuse TO testify"
Kumud Nath Mookerjee, an attorney
of Bangkok. Siam, testified to having
men countrymen in different parts of
the Orient and Far East and that while
in Bangkok he was asked by Hindu
to take a message to persons in Cal
cutta.
81 was told to tell the people ] saw
that the steamer Maverick would come
to Calcutta on July 13 and that they
were TO be ready to receive arms and
ammunition" the witness added.
