Boches Unable to Check Brit.
ish in Belgium
TEU0 SURPRISED AND UNNERVED BY ENGLISH ADVANCE OVER
THE DIFFICULT TERRAIN
ASSOCIATED Press

The latest Allied stroke in Flanders
brings into sight the end of German
domination of the ridge east of
Ypres. One more thrust, or possibly
two, and the Germans must bow to
a superior power and retreat.
British guns dominate part of the
ridge still held by the Teutons be-
sides the Roulers- Menin railroad. The
Germans delivered counter attacks
against the Staden-Ypres railroad
last night, but were repulsed except
in one place where the British front
line was forced back slightly.
Paris reports the French continu-
ing to fight on their end of the line.
That the British advance over such
difficult terrain surprised and unnerv-
ed the Germans.
The crisis as a result of the Korni7
loft revolt has been safely passed by
Russia. The coalition government, in
cluding constitutional democrats, has
assumed charge.

What are we going to do about it :?
The men and women saw, and arose
quickly to their patriotic opportunity,
when the tang of novelty still flavor
ed the first bond offering.
Now the novelty is gone. The Sec
ond bond is a humdrum thing.
The first was patriotic novelty.
The second is more than that-a pat

Don't hold back. We know now
that wars aren't picnics. 1t costs
money to fight-and we are confident
that every man and women will do his
duty.
Our allies look upon America as a
fountain of enthusiasm.

ulation, number of incorporated
towns, areas of the counties and all

ties lead the lists in the number of
pledges expected, but no county has

LETTERS A LUXURY
Jacksonville Metropolisl

(JackSonv1lle MeCroponSl
Letters will become luxury after
November 2, and one-cent stamps will
go out of existence save as heirlooms
of before the war days.
Bulletins received by Postmaster
Dignan this morning from A. S. Bur-
Lesson, postmaster general, advised
that the war tax affecting mail would
become effective Nov. 2. when tax
of one cent will be placed on all first
class mail. Under these regulations
three cents will be required for let
ters that formerly came under the
two-cent class, one cent being added
on every ounce or fraction of an
ounce for first-class mail.
Two cents will be required for post
cards, with the exception of govern
ment post cards, and for these an ex-
ira one cent stamp will be necessary
until new cards have been issued.
Three-cent stamps and two-cent
government post cards will be issued
shortly, however, until this time let
ters must carry one cent stap, with
a two cent stamp. and government
post cards an added one cent stamp.
What the increase on second-class
matter will be, Mr.. Dignan stated
has not yet been announced.

LOCAL LEGISLATION
At Special Session of Council, Con-
tract to Supply Industrial
School is Held Up

At an adjourned meeting of the
city council held last evening the opin-
ion of the city attorney on the pro-
posed contract with the state for fur
nishing electricity and water to the
industrial school east of the city was
read.
Mr.. Hocker's opinion was to the eff
feet that the provision in the propos-
ed contract, requiring the city to
make all repairs to the electric line,
would make it the duty of the city to
see that the line was in safe condi-
ton, and should there be any injury
to any one due to any negligence in
keeping and maintaininfi the line in
safe condition, the city would be lia-
bic. 1t was also his opinion that the
state board of public institutions has
no power to guarantee the city
against loss, in case of damage suit,
and that this section of the proposed
contract would be of no protection to
the city.
The following letter from Mayor
Chace set forth his opposition as
based on the city attorneys opinion:

Dear Sir: | am enclosing copy

it the duty of the city to see that the

there be any injury to any one due to
any negligence in keeping and main

1t is his opinion further, that the

no power to guarantee the city

Teuton Legation Was a Harbor
of Tredchery
LESS AN AMBASSADOR THAN THE HEAD Of A
MURDER AND ARSON BUREAU
Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 10-The state de.
partment has made public two mes
sages from the German foreign of
fee to Count Won Bernstorff, and one
from Bernstorff to Berlin, in which
Germany demanded that the Canad-
ian Pacific railway be destroyed,
sabotage be carried on in United
States factories and propaganda be
fostered for influencing Congress.
The foreign Office informed the am
bassador that he could get informa-
tion of persons who would commit
sabotage from Joseph MacGarrity of
Philadelphia, John P. Heating of Chi
cago and jeremiah o. Leary of New
York. The message said these per-
sons were indicated by Roger Case
ment, and said that sabotage must
be carried on in munition factories
but that railroad embankments and
bridges must not be destroyed. On
Sept. 18th Count Won Bernstorf was
informed of his superiors' embargo
conference in regard to whose earlier
fruitful cooperation DR.. Hale can
give information" The Germans were
about to launch a vigorous campaign
to get pro-German majority in Con-
gress. There is no possibility of the
embassy being compromised, the dis
patch stated.

SOME NEUTRAL IMPLICATED

Secretary Lansing said the mes
sages did not pass through the state
department, leaving the inference
that they were handled through some
neutral legation. Presumably, they
were seized in the raid on Won Igels
offices in New York, which outwardly
worried Bernstorff. The mention of
Doctor Hale" raised speculation as
to just who was meant.
UNWORTHY AMERICANS
DR.. William Bayard Hale was act
ing as newspaper correspondent in
Berlin at the time and known to be
close to the German government. The
messages are viewed as simple ex-
planation of propaganda in this
country favoring a munition embargo
and finding expression in the McLe-
more resolution in Congress. Mrs
Hale, also a writer, brought petit
tion signed by women to Washington
against shipping arms to the Allies.

Yours very truly,
I Z Chann

Mayor of the City of Ocala.
The light and water committee was
instructed to have made complete
list of all the city's personal property
in connection with the old light and
water plants which it proposes to sell.
Authority was also granted to have
said list printed and put in shape for
convenient submission to probable
purchasers.
The registration list was revised,
and the clerk was instructed to pub
lish the list of stricken names as re-
quired by law before each election.
Upon the mayors suggestion it was
decided to leave the matter of elimi-
mating the Silver Springs boulevard
from the city limits until later date,
as it was thought that the matter
could be better attended to after the
city gets into operation its new char
ter, which will be January 1, 1918.
The city attorney was instructed to
at once take up the matter of having
a sidewalk constructed adjoining the
Gadson property on West Broadway.
This is the only break of sidewalk
from the courthouse square to the
