A WET" ON WOMEN.-The JUS
LITIGATION for women's suffrage is be-
ing shown more fOrcibly every day.
The articles on prohibition in The
Forum by women, the millionaire
special during the last campaign, the
direct action of the women that OPP
posed it, the reasons why the swell
women's clubs want the "angel al
dermen" elected, are refreshing eX-
amples of woman's candoT in public
affairs.
The recent article in The Forum
on the economics of the liquor ques-
ton by Grace Adams will be agreed
with quite heartily by the big dry
employers Of labor, but they would
not have the bravery to sign their
names to it.
Roosevelt can talk loyalty to the
men, Bryan can talk liberty, Cap
Hobson and Billy Sunday can talk
about giving their life for a cause,
but Dry Sup't YarroW says they will
do so if funds are available. Men
stand for that kind of bunk, 1 don't
think; women will after they get
wise to the deceit of most of the pub
lie speakers.

The steel trust tried milk instead
of booze, but they could not get the

TANKS ARE TERRoRs
Fully Proved Their Value i'm France
During This Weeks
Fighting
ASSOCIATED Press)

British Army Headquarters in
France-The impression which exist
ed in the minds of many soldiers that
the British tanks were freaks of lit
tie value as instruments of war is be-
ing wiped out on account of the
achievements of the great army of
these mighty engines which on Tues
day morning broke through the main
Hindenburg line and carried the war
miles into enemy territory. The work
which the tanks did that day and have
been doing since is one of the most
striking features of the war. It can
not be said they are alone RESPONSE
bic for the tremendous victory won by
the British, for infantry, artillery and
cavalry all have played their part
Nevertheless the tanks drove the en-
tering wedge without which this
triumph probably would have been
impossible.
In a few hours they tore to shreds
lines of barbed wire, the demolition
of which concentration of artillery
would have required many days. Fur
thermore, their employment made
possible the arrangement of the Sec
ret attack, which would have been out
of the question had the artillery been
brought into play.
The tanks have demonstrated fully
their power in saving the lives of men
and in conserving ammunition. The
casualties among the infantry which
followed the tanks into action were
exceedingly light. The correspondent
has heard that two battalions, for in
stance, had only one casualty each
and that another suffered the loss OF
only thre men. This is almost un-
precedented in an attack OF such mag
nitude.

OFFICIAL REPORT
ON CAMP WHEELER

Senator Fletcher forwards to the
Star the following report on condi-
tions at Camp Wheeler:
Report received from special sani-
tary Inspector at Camp Wheeler re-
ceived in surgeon generals Office Nov,
10Th, "That conditions at that camp
greatly improved; measles epidemic
declining, hospital somewhat over
crowded, but two new wards will be
completed tomorrow. No additional
buildings necessary. Patients treat
ed upon porches have done much bet
ter than those in wards. Tents Of
three field hospitals pitched but only
seventy-five beds occupied. Surgeon
states that except at beginning, there
beds or more with three blankets
each, awaiting patients. Plenty of
blankets on hand. also essential med
ical supplies. Death rate from pneu-
monia has been low. Camp in good
condition, hospital in excellent gen
eral condition, sick being well cared
for. Weather delightful, but nights
cold. There has been insufficient
clothing, but this is being rapidly
corrected. Additional quartermaster
blankets and woolen clothing expect
ed soon"
About fifteen hundred cases of
measles occurred among troops this
camp. Cases mild in character with
few complications or serious results.
Number of cases one hundred and five
less than yesterday. Eleven hundred
and two measles cases remain.

TRAIN SERVICE
FOR THE TEUTONS

Berne-( Correspondence of the As
sociated Press)-Germany has re-
sorted to stringent measures of re-
ducing it's coal consumption during
the coming winter by cutting down its
train service and curtailing the num-
Der of people who travel, especially
in express trains.
The latest edition of the Journal of
the Association Of German Railroads
announces that at a recent meeting
of the representatives of all German
railroads, held in Berlin, it was unan-
imously decided not only to reduce
the number of trains, but to put such
a high cost upon travelling, by means
of radical raises in the price of tick
cts, as to insure that only those will
travel who absolutely must do so.
The advances contemplated and
which probably will become effective
within a very short time are as fol-
lows: On all tickets for express
trains costing up to five marks, an
extra charge Of three marks will be
levied; tickets hitherto costing from
five TO 10 marks viii be taxed eight
marks; from 10 to Is marks, Is
marks extra; from Is to % marks,
20 marks extra, and for sums above
25 marks, 10 marks extra for each
10 marks as ordinarily charged.
Likewise there is to be a sharp
limitation in baggage regulations so
that both the size and number Of
trunks, as well as their weight, will
be cut down. For the first time in
many years, Sunday trains are to be
reduced in number. Hitherto they
have always run on weekday sched-
ules, sometimes even have been in
creased in number because of the
Germans love Of making Sunday ex-
cursions.
In order to assure the punctual ar
rival and departure Of trains, which
unfortunately suffered greatly last
winter because it was impossible to
get up enough steam to haul the long
heavy express trains on time, the
time tables viii be revised so that
trips will be longer than under the
present schedule, though probably no
longer than they have been actually
taking.

DO YOUR TWO-"BITS"
Officers Declare That Tobacco Stead
les the Nerves of Soldiers

There are a good many people in
Marion county who don't smoke at
all and some of them don't believe in
it; think smoking is a bad thing. But
even such people are becoming sub
scribers to the Stars fund for send
ing smokes to soldiers.
The fact is that commanding Off
GERS have declared that the use of to-
bacco ait the front is one OF the best
steadiers for the nervous tension
which is invariably present with men
under fire. Whatever your views may
be about the use of tobacco, it must
not be forgotten that the fighting men
do need and do enjoy the smoke sent
them by the contributions OF Star
readers.
One of the best reasons for sending
these packages of comfort to our SOL
diers is that the tobacco they are able
to buy in France is not such as they
want or are accustomed to. The sight
of package of Bull Durham tobacco
or of Lucky Strike cigarettes or of
Tuxedo pipe tobacco is like meeting
a friend from home, and the satisfac-
tion and comfort derived from a Whit
of the old familiar stuff brings joy to
the man who hasn't very many real
joys just at that moment. The post
card ready stamped, with your name
and address on it, which the soldier
finds in the package may come back
to you any day with a message Of
appreciation, from Somewhere in
France"
Maybe the man to whom your con-
tribution brings comfort and cheer
will be going "over the top" maybe
he will come back. You'll have the
satisfaction in any case of feeling
that you thought of some soldier,
though you are in your comfortable
home in Marion county, Florida, u.
S. A, thousands of miles from the
scene of war, has made some pleas
ant hours for him.
Get your contribution in now to our
fund; 25 cents pays all expense for
tobacco, transportation and delivery
to some American soldier; ard the re-
turn message will come soon to you.

past week are as follows:
