NOT A LAND-GRANT ROAD

The owners of a jerltwater railroad

some threats as to what they would
do if things didn't come their way.

loud enough to be heard the railroad
commissioners step in and say stick

to say when you will quit; you owe
this great state of Florida something

even il you don't like to do it," This
reminds us that railroads have been
built in Florida largely through the
land grants made to them by the leg
isIatures and they obligated to oper.

A CASE THAT CALLS FOR HELP

Joseph Pinckney bears the reputa-
toin of being one of the very best col
ored men in the county. His indus
try and integrity is vouched for by
any number of white people who
know him.
He has been sick for five years, and
for the past year was afflicted with
blood poisoning, and just as he was
getting able to perform manual labor,
and While himself and his wife were
out in the field cutting wood which
they intended to haul to the city to
sell, their home caught fire and was
burned to the ground. His crib of
corn and his wagon were also burn
ed. Not piece of furniture nor an
article of clothing was saved His
wife, his children and himself were
left molly with the clothes they had
on at the time of the tragedy.
The past cold nights they have suf-
fered intensely, as they had to sleep
in the hay with only scant covering.
Any article of food, furniture or
clothing donated to this family will
be charity worthily bestowed.

ACTION AS SERIOUS AS OPPOSE
TON TO DRAFT LAW

Orlando, Fla, Dec. 6, 1917.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
Statements appearing in the Chi
cago press and widely circulated, en-
anating from parties at interest who
are exploiting the sale of meat and
protesting against wheatless and
meatless days as unnecessary sacri
fees by the American public, are eth
sonal interest, obviously endeavoring
to raise the price OF meat, says Her
bert Hoover.
The result from meatless days have
for the first time created a sufficient
visible supply of meat to allow us to
partially comply with the quantities
requested by the allies for shipment
during the month of December. This
should be a matter of satisfaction to
the entire American people, that their
devotion in this matter now enables
us to resume our duties to the allies in
this respect, and our endeavors should
in no instance be relaxed.
AS to wheat, we have already ex-
ported the whole of the surplus of the
1917 harvest over and above the nor
NAL demands of our own population
until the 1918 harvest.
1t is necessary for the food admin
istration to. restrict the export of
wheat, so as to retain in the United
States sufficient supplies to carry our
own people until the next harvest;
therefore, all exports of wheat from
now forward are limited entirely to
the volume of saving made by the
American people in their consumption
Of wheat and wheat products. We are
continuing wheat shipments for De-
cember as far as our situation allows,
but even with all the conservation
made we are still unable to load over
four hundred thousand tons of food
stuff urgently required by the allies
during the month of December alone.
Statements of the above character
given out for personal interest are in
little accord with the spirit being
shown by millions of homes in the
United States in an endeavor to aid
the food administration in its task
of feeding our own soldiers abroad as
well as our allies, and establishing
prices to our own people.
No more foolish or unpatriotic ut.
terance has ever been made than the
statement referred to. In the critical
situation of the worlds food today op-
position to the governments conser-
walton measures is an action compare
BILE to opposition to the draft, because
any failure in saving food means di-
rect and immediate loss of life, aside
from serious interference with our
war service in the feeding of our al
lies

"DEEDs THAT MAKE ONE FEAR
FOR FUTURE OF HUMAN RACE
"German War Practices" Comprising
Documentary Record of Some of
the Blacklist Pages in History
SYSTEM OF FRiGHTFuLNESS OF
GERMAN GOVERNMENT

Washington, Dec 10.-Some of the
blacklist pages in all history, compris-
ing a documentary record Of deeds
that make one despair of the future
Of the human race" are found in a
book named German War Practices"
which has just been issued at the gov
eminent printing office by the com
mittee on public information for free
distribution. 1t is edited by Prof. C.
ID. Munro, of Princeton, and other
scholars.
The dumbfounding evidence which
this book presents to the jury of man
kind Of drawn mainly from German
and American sources. and includes
official proclamations and utterances
of the responsible heads of the impe-
rial German government, letters and
diaries of German soldiers, quotations
from German newspapers, and mate
rial drawn from the archives of the
state department which lay bare the
story of inconceivable German atroci-
ties.
The purpose of the book is to show
that the system of German frightful-
ness. itself the greatest atrocity, is
the definite policy of the German gov
eminent, so sinister that German SOL
diers themselves have at times re-
yolted. Individual acts of wanton cru
city and barbaric destruction are cited
only to illustrate the operation of the
remorseless system.
The book gives excerpts from the
diaries of German soldiers of which
these are specimens: In the night
OF August 1919 the village of Saint
Maurice was punished for having fir
ed on German soldiers by being burnt
to the ground by the German troops.
The village was surrounded,
men posted about a yard from one
another so that no one could get out.
Then the Uhlans set fire to it house
by house; neither man, woman or
child could escape; only the greater
part of the live stock we carried off,
as that could be used. Anyone who
ventured to come out was shot down.
All the inhabitants left in the village
were burnt with the houses"
"A horrible bath of blood The
whole village burnt. the French
thrown into the blazing houses, civil
ians with the rest"

it's suburbs has been punished by an
additional fine of 100000 francs on
