VENICE THREATENS.

OF the greatest cities of northern
Italy Venice is the one most seriously
menaced by the German advance.
This is not due to the fact that the
German line is at present within ma

that the CONFORMATION of the country
is such that the Italians, for military
reasons may give up Venice and it's
adjoining territory without a hard
fight. 1t would be 1amentable if

A feature of the great Deering

LIGHT FROM DeFUNIAK

..Coincident with the reinstatement OF
Sheriff Bowling, of Duval county, to office
by Governor Cats, the Journal is enabled
to publish correspondence from we'll
known attorney of West Florida to the
Governor, dealing with this situation.
The letters are published following
brech in cordial relations between the at
torney, Mr. F1ournoy, of D'Funiak Springs
and Governor Cats, breach which Mr..
Flournov asserts was because of his endea-
or to lead the Governor in the path OF light
as outlined in the constitution OF the state,
and of the Executives refusal to tread that
path
The relation of these two men dates back
to those turbulent days when. as plain Mr..
Cats, the Governor waging his legal battle
in the primaries. Nothing could be more
natural in the circumstances than that he
should turn to fellow townsman, man
of reputation as lawyer, to help him out
of the middle Since that time it has been
pretty generally understood that Mr..
Flournoy has continued to act as the Gov
ernor's advisor.
Of the impending break between the two
men, and it's final contamination. the let
tiers speak for themselves. The breach was
opened apparently by a difference that
arose over the attorney eneralsh1p, and
was sealed according to Mr.. Flournoy, by
Constitution, until, in the attorneys own
language, 81 realize that the time has come
for somebody to call halt
The letters especially the second and
longer of the-.two published today, show
the gravity of sheriff Dowling's removal,
as viewed through the eyes of a constitu-
tional lawyer The attorney not only
questions the constitutionalitv of the re-
moval of his officer, but adds this trenchant
comment:
'"They (referring to the Governors
friends) can not consistently ask you to
create a vacancy for them"
This sentence follows the comment:
"My experience at the capital recently has
impressed me strongly that you are being
imposed upon by your friends"
Subsequent letters show the relationship
existing between the Governor and Fl. H.
! Lewis, who was appointed to succeed Sher-
| iff Bowling, during the Cats campaign.
Whether or not Governor Cats had
| been apprinsed Of the impending publica-
| ton of this correspondence. and was thus
| influenced to reinstate Bowling. knowing
| that the facts would be shown to have been
laid before him, is con ectural. In any
! event. however, the fact is patent that

Uncle Sam to Call on Men Who

Cowardice
By Assocfated Prcss

Washington. April 19.-Men of mill
tary age who have married since a
state of war against Germany was de-
clared will not escape their obligation
of military service under a War De-
partment policy formally announced
to-day. The departments statement
follows:
THE War Department announces
that all men married since the out
break of war will be treated upon the
same basis as unmarried men insofar
as their military obligations are con-
cerned. 1t is desired that the utmost t
publicity be given by the press to this
announcement"
The Department was moved to take
this action in order that all men should
understand exactly what is contem-
plated in the organization of an army
to fight Germany. 1t was desired
there should arise no question OF slack
ers upon the score of marriages con-
tracted since the outbreak of war with
the possible construction that the mar
riage in any case was hastened in or
der that military duty might be
evaded.

This section provides a ten years
Imprisonment or a fine of $4,000 for
persons who collect, publish or elicit
information concerning matters of ma
tional defense which might be of use
to the enemy, in violation of regula-

Opponents of the section were ready
to-day to renew their fight, confident
that it would either be defeated or
materially modified.
The Senate added an amendment,
offered by Senator Lodge, designed to
protect the right of comment or criti-
cism of acts or policies of the govern
ment.

be open tomorrow evening to ac-
commodate those who would be in
convenienced by the closing on Sat-

Holiday hours will be observed at
the post office.
No Open-air Meetings
The open-air meetings have been
Cancelled because of the lateness of
the hour at which it is believed the
parade will end and also on account
of the confusion that would result
from interference with the heavy Sat

A resolution thanking the mer-

We, the undersigned members

will not only make the parade in
the afternoon a great success, but
it will also enable their employees
to take part in the patriotic DEM

district to arrange to do its Sat-
