Congress to Open Dec 3;
Members Begin to Return

q y
Washington, Nov. rs. Members
of congress are beginning to return
to Washington for the opening of the
second session of the war next Mon

Appropriations for the war prom
Use to require much time and there is
much new as well as unfinished war
legislation to be dealt with.
President Wilson's opening message
will determine, in great measure, the
program of new legislation. Many do
nestle matters, including prohibition
and woman suffrage, are promised at
tention. Future relations between this
nation and Germany's allies may be
determined early in the session. Many
members of congress are expecting

Turkey and Bulgaria. Sentiment in

has had a place in the strategy of the
British commander-in-chief since his
dash of last week placed his forces
west and southwest of Cambria, vir-
tualiy upon the threshold of the town.
Ever since the initial attack the Ger
mans had disputed tenaciously every
inch of ground.
The northeasterly portion of the
wood apparently now is the sole re-
naming part of that still in German
hands and, being only about three and
ene half miles distant from Cambria,
the Germans are doing their utmost
to hold it, and even to drive back the
British who have gained a footing
there.
Since the beginning of the battle of
Cambria the British war office reports
have been extremely meagre with de-
tails of the fighting, and the latest
communication gives no hint of the
proposed intentions of General Byng
after the conquest OF Bourbon and
Bourbon wood has been made secure.

FACT, BUSINESS is BAD
WHAT Is The REMEDY?

1t is fact that business in Tarpon
Springs is not as good as it should be.
We all know this is true. Now the
cause for this should be located and
then remedied.
Call the doctor and let him diagnose
the case, and then act according to his
advice. The doctor, in this case, is the
business men of our city-those who
provide the sinews of business, the
money with which to do business. Let
them appoint a time and place and
confer on the subject of lettering
business conditions in our city. Those
who are perfectly satisfied with their
business need not attend.
1t is not for one man to decide what
is best to do, but for the business men
in a body to go into this matter and
find and apply remedy.
One business man told us recently
that 100000 of his working capital,
which usually circulated around town
and good part finally returned to
him, has gone to Tampa, where it is
not likely to return. This gentleman
said it appeared to him that business
was being driven away from the city;
that the city was paying one man
the secretary of the Board of Trade
to try to bring people here and at
the same time paying others whose
purpose seemed to be the driving
away of those who may come.
1t is not the intention or desire of

Sugar Shortage
Is World Wide

Sugar prices began to soar at the
very beginning of the worlds great
war. The countries involved were
producing nearly one-half the worlds
sweets-about 100000 tons of beet
sugar-and the beet fields were con-
centrated around the scenes of the
first battles. These fields in Belgium
and France were devastated. Those
upon which Russia was dependent for
her crop are now occupied by the
enemy, and Gernany's fields border
ing on Russian territory were invaded
by the cars troops. England pro-
duces no sugar at all Her supplies
from sugar producing countries in
Europe were entirely cut off, so she
sent to the United States for refined
sugar and to Cuba for raw sugar. For
these reasons the United States and
her allies are almost entirely depen-
dent on the West Indies for their
sugar supply, with the exception of
the small beet crop of the western
states.

favor of such action is general among
members now here.
Work on the appropriation bills fol
the fiscal year beginning July. next
already has begun by the house appro-
priations committee, which will have
a constant stream of the supply bills
to go through the congressional ma
chinery.
More bond issues probably will be
authorized at the new session, but ac-
tual consideration of new or amended
war tax legislation is not anticipated
until after the session is well under
way.
The first formal procession activity
will be the reopening tomorrow of the
investigation by a senate privilege and
elections subcommittee of Senator
LaFollette's alleged disloyal st. Paul
speech. An executive session tomor-
row of the subcommittee to deter
mine procedure will be followed short
ly by examination of witnesses, prob
ably including former Secretary
Bryan during the week.

Our Boys to Get
Christmas Boxes

The American Red Cross is going to
see that not one of our soldiers or
sailors, i'm the United States or
abroad, is forgotten on Christmas day.
Among the features of the Red Cross
war councils plans are the distribu-
ton Of about million Christmas
packets and the erection Of a Red
Cross Christmas tree at every,canton-
ment. The Red Cross division mana
ger will notify the respective local
chapters regarding the number of
packets each is expected to provide.
After the packets are assembled in the
division warehouses they will be
shipped to certain points for shipment
to Europe, and to camps, environments
and naval stations in Che UNITED
States according to carefully devel-
oped plans for equal distribution. The
bureau of supplies is stocking the
branch warehouses with khaki hand
kerchiefs, writing pads, and checker
boards which are to go into the
packets. Those wishing to contribute
articles to go into the Christmas pack
cts should consult the leaders of their
local Red Cross chapter for sugges-
tons as to seryiceable gifts, and for
information regarding the preparation
OF tiainties and other eatables.

He is Doomed
The Fever Tick

We beg TO call your attention to the
very important fact that December 1,
1917, is set apart by the governor of
Florida and the secretary of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture as
a day for especially celebrating the
eradication of the cattle tick from a
great part of the South.
The counties of Dade, Broward and
that part Of Palm Beach south and
west of the Hillsboro Drainage canal
are now free of the cattle tick. The
county of Monroe will be released
from quarantine Dec. l, giving US a
total tiek-free area of 1900 square
miles in this state. n
We are carrying on preliminary tick
eradication work in twenty-four more
counties, several Of which will be re-
leased next year.
Truly this should be day Of
Thanksgiving. The importance Of cat

4 In view of the vital Importance Of
this subject to all of the people Of
Florida, we suggest that you direct at
tention to the fact through your col
umns, and also suggest the advantage
and Importance of holding community
and town meetings for discussion of
the subject on the date above men
toned, showing the wonderful .advan-
tages to be derived by the complete
eradication of the tick, with the GER
tainty that it is the surest and quick
est means of building up the farming
interests of Florida.
Therefore, for what are we striving
to accomplish, as well as for the great
blessings already received, let us be
thankful, and also untiring in our eff
forts to attain the final determination

The Leader to pass judgment or criti-
eize any one in this matter, nor is it
the newspapers business to do any
thing further than to call public atten-
ton to conditions which exist. We
would suggest remedy if we knew
exactly what the remedy is, but not
knowing exactly what is best to do,
all we can say is that the business
men should call a meeting and decide
what they consider the most logical
and sensible action to take to put more
life into the business of our city.
Tarpon Springs is different from
other cities. 1t has a large foreign
population Greek, and the business
they bring to our city is the main
support of all other businesses con-
Quoted here. These men have certain
rights and should be given considera-
ton. If we drive them away, on what
will our city exist? The tourist crop
is a good thing, but it does not bring
in anything like million dollars each
year.
We have been teld that there is
more demand for sponge than our
market can supply, and the reason we
cannot supply more sponge is that the
Greeks are leaving and that there are
not enough now to man the boats
which should be out. in the gulf gath
