Britain and America Putting the
Finishing Touches on the
Blockade
(Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 3.-England's
embargo on shipments Of practically
everything TO Sweden, Norway, Den
mark and the Netherlands is regard
ed here as the most important move
in Tightening the cord which is slowly
but surely killing the military power
of Germany. Together with the Unit
ed States action in carefully scruti-
nizing shipments to neutrals, this
move strikes vital blow at the Cen
tral Powers.

REPRISALS FOR THE
AIR RAIDS
Inflicted by Teutons on Defenseless
English Towns will be Made with
Compound Interest
Associated Press

"We shall lombard Germany with
compound interest" Premier Lloyd
George is quoted as telling a London
crowd, in promising that England
would soon launch reprisals for con-
tinued air raids on London. French
reprisals already are under way.
French airmen last night bombarded
the town of Baden, fifty five miles be
yond the French frontier. More than
seven tons of bombs were also drop
ped on military detectives in German
held territory.
Artillery activity is reported on the
French front, particularly near Yer
dun. The French apparently are pre-
pairing to attack there to gain few
trenches and elements retained by
thes Teutons when they were thrust
back from north of hill 344.

LOCAL LEGISLATION

A feature of last nights council
meeting was the reading and discus
sion of "a letter from Aldermen Faus-
ett and Meffert protesting against
the signing of the contract between
the city and the state authorities by
which the city binds itself indefinite
ly to furnish water and electricity to
the state industrial school located two
miles east of town, and at the same
rate as that enjoyed by resident tax
payers. The letter follows:
Ocala, Fla, Oct. End, 1917.
The Honorable City Council, Ocala.
Gentlemen: We the undersigned
members of the light and water COM
mittee and members of the city coun-
ell, hereby enter our earnest protest
against signing certain contract by
the mayor and city clerk, whereby the
| city receives the sshort end of the
DEAL" the principal part of which is
liable to involve the city into serious
trouble and damage suits, besides OBJ
ligating herself to the state to keep
in good repair an electric line forever,
without compensation, from the city
limits to the state industrial school.
We strongly object for the city to
string wires on poles owned by other
parties outside of the city limits, as
lin doing this the city will become
equally responsible for any damage
that may arise from people getting
injured by broken electric wires.
i The city should only obligate her
self to furnish light and water to the
city limits, and from there consum-
ers should become responsible fo1
electric, lines and water mains and
should own such lines or mains. Un-
der the proposed contract the indus
trial school enjoys the same privileges
as citizens of Ocala who are taxed fol
building the combined light and water
| plant and the state or industria
school is not, but has the same ratt
|. fog light and water.
We hope this contract will not b.
signed by the mayor and city clerk.

FLORIDA MUST HELP
GUARD AGAINST FAMINE
1Ru c. A. Tutewilerl

The world is faced by food fam
inc. The function of the food admin
istration is to regulate and conserve
wheat, meat and fat supplies of the
United States, so there may be
enough for ourselves and for our al
lies who are defending the common
cause on the firing line in France.
The food administration proposes
to utilize the experience of other ma
tions and to. begin conservation now
instead of delaying as England did
in the belief in a short war.
The crop shortage is universal. The
worlds wheat supplies are lower than
ever before. Sugar and fat supplies
are far below requirements. This is
also true of the United States.
Reasons: Bad weather, unfertilized
fields, diversion of man-power from
the fields to the firing line. Forty
million men are in active army ser
vfce-twenty million men and women
are supporting them in other war &C
tivities. These are unproductive-
they must be fet if they are to do our
fighting.
Today, in Europe, fields are worked
by women and war prisoners. Result:
Further diminution in their food re-
turns.
i Over one million tons of food-car-
rying ships have been torpedoed since
February 1st, this year.

Fighting For Principles

The Americans are peculiarly a
peace-loving people. They have no
taste for warfare and no lust for ter
ritory or power. Yet within less than
one hundred and fifty years we have
entered six important wars, the last
and perhaps the greatest Of which is
the one Just beginning against the
German Government Why has all
this warfare been necessary?
The answer Is to be found in the
simple fact that there are certain
American rights and principles that
must be upheld if the United States is
to remain free and self-respecting
nation. These rights have never been
attacked-and probbaly never will be
attacked-by other free and demo-
cratic peoples. But the world is not
yet rid Of governments in the hands
of small groups who betray their own
people and drive them forward in
ruthless assaults on the freedom and
rights of other peoples. 1t is a gov
eminent of this type that now men
aces all liberty-loving nations through
out the world and savagely attacks
American rights.
In all our previous wars against
foreign powers the American people
have fought for principles, not for
wealth or power, Just as they are
fighting today. They have fought
against peoples, just as they are fight
ing today. They have fought fearless
ly and fairly, just as you and the
other American soldiers of this war
will fight.

This course should include a back
ward glance over the military history
of the United States. 1t is worth
while for the soldier to recall why
and how the men before us fought for
American principles and rights. You
are representing today the same ideals
and fighting for many of the same
things they fought for in 1776, 1898,
1912, 1916, 1861 and 1898.
In 1916 our forefathers refused any
longer to submit to the demands of a
tyrannical government and declared
themselves Independent. The farm
ers and shopkeepers and mechanics
and fishermen who rushed to arms at
the beginning of the Revolution did
not at first realize they were forming
a new nation But before long they
saw clearly that in order to enjoy lib
erty they must shake off the rule OF
the autocratic government which had
its seat in London.
Our First War
In their attitude they had the sym.
pathy of a great many Englishmer
who were broad enough to see thai
the American colonists were really
fighting for the rights of all free
peoples. In the British Parliament
Pitt and Burke and other great Eng
lishmen openly defended the Ameri
can patriots. "If were an American
as | am an Englishman," said one O
the great parliamentary leaders
while foreign troops remained il
my country | would never lay dowr
my arms" 1t was not the Englisl
people who were seeking to suppress
liberty in America, but a small bod,
OF court politicians--an autocrat;
government - which misrepresente,
the people.
The Americans of that day on thei
part did not hesitate to take up arm
Tor their rights, even though the
came into conflict with the seasone
troops of great power-even thcugI
they mad to meet invasion and partia
