GERMANY's LAST HOPE FADING

The last hope of the HohenZ0llern
dynasty the frightful submarine cam
paign-is fading and the imperial gov
ernment of Germany now faces the
most critical dilemma in its history.
Slowly, but surely, the feeling is gain
ing ground@in Germany that the sub
marine warfare is failing to force
Great Britain to her knees. AS GER
tainly are the German people learning
that the entente powers can not be
starved nor bluffed into peace.
Surely, Germany's plot against the
United States was the worst blunder
that the kaiser's statesmen have made
since the memorable scrap of paper
incident. The very fact that the ma
jority of Americans favored the cause
of the entente and abhorred the inva-
sion of Belgium and the enslavement
of the Belgian nation, gave the entente
an immense moral advantage which
Germany by her most recent fool act
has strengthened to the point that
now it is impossible to keep America
from throwing the whole weight of
her forces into the scales against Ger
many
Germany can never win, unless the
submarine campaign succeeds, and the
submarine warfare is a certain fail
ure if the United States throws off
neutrality Only with Americas con
sent could the u boat campaign have
won. and now the kaiser has made it
utterly impossible for this nation to
regard him as anything but treach-
erOus enemy.
The kaiser is a defeated man today
and his government will fall with
him. \ new and better Germany, con
tr0lled by republican representative
government will rebuild from the ru-
ms, the Germany which the world low

the best traditions and ideals of a
great race.-Olympia (Wash.) Olym

THE FEE SYSTEM

The facts pointed out by Prof.
Sheriff., state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, that the county trus-
tees in this state last year got nearly
lowed them for the merely merchant
cal passing of the money through
their hands, is one of the most fOrci-
BILE illustrations of the iniquity of the
fee system yet presented, and the sys-
tenn is one full of iniquity, with no
manner of good to be urged in its IA
vor
The trustee of Davidson county
took out of the school fund for his in
dividual use $S9G643. The trustee of
Shelby county got $79G2.41 from this
source, and the trustee Of Hamilton
and Knox counties each got nearly
$4,000 That was over $25,000 taken
from the school fund for this purpose
in the four most populous counties of
the state The only service the trus-
tees rendered for this rich recon-
pense vas to handle the money It
passed through their hands in pure
ly mechanical way. and the law allow
ed them to take out that much in fees
That is a most remarkable law, and
it is passing strange that it should
have so long survived
The legislature has already passed
a bill that abolished the fee system
in Shelby county That was done at
the instance Of the Shelby county del
egation, but the evil of the fee system
is by no means local, and q general
bill for the purpose should be passed.
AS soon as the legislature re-assem-
bles the Banner hopes to see the
measure that has been introduced for
this purpose strenuously pressed.
The county officials should, of
course. have due compensation for
their services. but 1t is altogether an
omalous and beyond all reason that
so much money should be diverted
from public funds for their private
uses.
The money that the Davidson coun-
ty trustees got out OF the school fund
alone last year is more than double
the salary paid the governor Of the
state and considerable more than the
salaries of the judges of the supreme
court. 1t exceeded by more than
thousand dollars the pay of United
States senator.
And all of this money should have
gone to the cause OF education. The
state is giving thirty-three and one
third per cent. of its gross revenues to
the school fund and then allows the

Washington. March 2S.-Members
of congress have begun to gather here
in order to be ready for the extraordi-

Monday. 1t is expected that Presi-
dent Wilson, when he asks congress

and calculated injuries and insults to
the United States. Going back to the

Federal Reserve Board Orders Army
Vouchers Accepted BY Federal

Meet Emergencies

Washington, March 2S.-Nearly 15,.
600 more men have been added to the
national guard force available for fed
eral police duty by war department
order suspending the muster out of
all guard organizations still in the
federal service. With the men called
out during the past few days this
gives the government upward Of AS
000 guardsmen for employment in

Most of the men affected by the or.
der are at their home mobilization
camps preparing to return to civilian
life after long stays on the Mexican
border. They will be held at their
camps or armOries for assignment as
conditions require.
In all about $4,000 men are retained
by the order, but several of the units
already had been designated for fed

was that the federal reserve board
had ordered army vouchers accepted

Temperance and Prohibition Organi-
cations Will Not Press Action On
Any Anti-liquor Legislation
At the Present Time

Washington, March 2S.-Congres-
sional leaders today gave informal
consideration TO the legislative pro
gram to meet the national emergency,
but it was emphasized that definite
steps to that end would be taken
until after President Wilson delivers
his address to congress soon after it
oOnvenes in extraordinary session
next Monday. Meantime, steps to put
the nation in a state of readiness to
meet any eventuality went ahead act
lively More than $1,000 national
guardsmen were under orders today
to remain in the federal service for
police duty at industrial plants and
other property in their respective
states. Altogether, about $4,000
guardsmen have been called out for
this purpose.
President Wilson was in conference
house guest and personal adviser, but
it was said that he does not plan to
put his message to congress in final
shape until the last minute, nor has
it been decided. even after yester-
days cabinet meeting. just what rec
concentrations he will include in it.
Congressional leaders are counting
on having to deal with nothing ex-
cept measures relating to the interna-
tional crisis during the special SEES
sion. Spokesman for temperance
and prohibition organizations have
declared their intention Of not press
ing for action on any antilifuor leg
islation, and although the federal
woman suffrage amendment will be
introduced there appears to be little
hope for it.

URGENT APPEAL FOR MEN TO
MAN OUR DREADNAUGHTS
Atlanta, Ga, March IS.

Atlanta, Ga, March 2S, 1917.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Our navy today is in urgent need of
1900 men to man its ships. In other
words, we are short just enough men
to man twenty-five dreadnaughts of
the Pennsylvania class, our latest
type of battleship. When it is con-
sidered that there are at present only
10000 men in the navy it may be real
lied what this shortage of men mean
in the way of preparedness of our
fleet. AT this critical time in our ma,
tional life it is of the utmost impor-
tance that the navy-our first line of
defense-be recruited up to its full
strength.
More men are enlisting in the navy
now that ever before in the history of
the country These are the young
men who are an honor to themselves
and their country, and of whom everN
real American has Just reason to be
proud There are thousands more
men jus, like these, and the navy
needs their service not sometime. if
we have war, but NOW!
The duty of filling the navy rests
primarily with the citizens of this
country, and every Amiercan citizen
who is worthy of the name should do
his part in helping to man our ships.
Ships have been built for the defense
of the country, and now it is up to
the people to man them. There IS no
time to lose If the navy is called,
we want every unit of the fleet to
go out fully manned with trained men.
There is a prevalent idea among civ.
ilians that "the only time to render
service to your country is in time of
war" Also there has been so much
talk to the effect that we can rise up
in our might overnight and send forth
an invincible navy and army that
some believe it. Such false ideas are
to be deplored and should be dispell-
ed at once. Men for the navy must
be trained before they can render
their country efficient service.
1t is to be regretted that some pa
rents not only use their influence to
prevent their son sfrom enlisting but
in many cases refuse to sign the age
certificate required It is the patriot
ic privilege of parents to inculcate in
their sons "love of country and that
his first duty is to his country" and
those who fail do not do their duty
clearly
1t is. urged unon all leaderssof COM
