THE ROMANCE OF THE SEAS

The following article appeared as
an editorial in the New York Evening
Post recently. 1t is submitted to the
readers of The News as an example Of
the very best in editorial comment:
"Brutalized as the seas are today by
German wickedness and ruthlessness,
unparalleled since the days of the men
who sailed under the black flag, which
the German submarines ought to be
flying, there never has been a period

well as the tragic, in the stories that
filter to us through the veil of the
censorship. Great ships almost daily
slip out of the harbor never to return.
Vessels appear bringing tales of wan
ton destruction and hairbreadth es-
capes to parallel which one must turn
to the pages of Marryat, Cooper and
Kingsley. Our harbor contains craft
bound for foreign parts of types not
thought fit for ocean service these
fifty years. The submarine has sent
the coast-wise schooner to voyaging
abroad, has put masts into barges, re-
vived the glories of square-rigger days,
and brought to our docks tiny ships

SPIES AND PLOTS

When the historians write the his
tory of this war and its causes they
vii. lay great emphasis on the part
spies and plots had in dragging us in.
The German plot and spy system is
an amazing scheme covering the en-
tire world. The plans were laid to
control by unseen means the affairs
Of all nations in way to work Ger
man ends. In Russia perfidious min
listers sent munitions to the Caucasus
when they were wanted in Galacia.
Kings married to German princesses
double-crossed their peoples. Spies
were everywhere, fomenting home
uprisings, laying plans for German In
vasion, buying UP means for swaying
public opinion.
1t was working over here, too. Mu-
milton plants exploded, crops and
grain and potato elevators burned.
from natural causes. Of course. Labor
troubles were fomented and industries
| tied up. Mexico and Japan were
treacherously approached with the
preposterous plan Of Selling Texas
and Mexico.
Gullible pacifsts were financed in
their plans for influencing congress.
Newspapers printed stuff handed out
| by this system. Politicians, fearful of
all this machine-made agitation, mis-
understood the temper of the people.
Mysterious information about sailings
of ships and soldiers got through.
The far-reaching character Of this UNI
derground organization is beyond be-
lief and it must have cost lot OF
money.
The American people will manage
their own affairs without outside inter
ference. Had the German government
not attempted this stupendous cam
paign Of duplicity and interference, it
is possible that we would never have
entered the war.
But it produced exactly the opposite
effect from that intended. 1t made it
clear that no government is safe so
long as any nation attempts to control
the world by such nefarious and in
sidious means GAINESVILLE Gazette.

The general impression abounds
that no requirement of the govern
ment has been SO promptly and effect
lively provided as railway service. The
war seems to have given the railways
the opportunity to show the public the
extent Of their willingness and of
their ability to mobolize their equip
ment for extraordinary service. Ger
tain it is that the public has shown
quick appreciation and has lent the

why YOU Are NERVOUS

q The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

To date there has been reported to
State Auditor Kositzky the names of
IS telephone lines which heretofore
have escaped taxation. Some of these
companies, quite large ones, have been
in existence ince 1902, and have paid
no taxes. There has been a general
misunderstanding. particularly on the
part of mutual telephone companies,
which have been inclined to consider
themselves exempt from taxation.
Four companies which had been pay
ing no taxes were reported today
from one small community, in re-
Spouse to the circular letter sent out
by the state auditor last week. Mr..
Kositzly is of the opinion that the
total number Of tax-free companies
will exceed his original estimate Of
$50, and that several thousand dollars
will be added TO the revenues Of the
state.
