Money sent to the German Red Cross
from America was acknowledged by
the Red Cross, but no publicity was
given in Germany to the fact that
any of the money given was from
German-Americans. Secondly be-
cause the German-Americans did not
go to Germany, as they might have
gone through neutral countries with
American passports, and enter the
German army, and thirdly-the most
bitter disappointment of all-the
COMMUNICATIONS have not yet risk
ed their property and their necks,
their children's future and their own
tranquility by taking arms against
the government of America in the in
terest of the Hohenzollerns."

Don't send the soldier boys picture
postcards. They look at the picture,
read the very brief message and
throw it away. What else can they
do? They have no place to keep books
or papers. When you write them, en-
close an extra sheet of paper and a
stamped envelope for reply. This
will be doing them a good service
! and if they do not use the paper and
envelope to write to you they can use
them on some one else.
Rev. B. n. Tanner and wife write
me that the weather is cold and the
longing great, and just as soon as he
can whip business affairs into shape
he will buy them a railroad ticket
and hit the trail for Florida, sunshine

association will be taken up and next
fourth of July the writer looks for

Editor Benjamin, of the Ocala Star
is writing for home consumption and
fighting straw man to appease his
home people. The Independent never
attacked or said anything against any
resident of Ocala or that county. The
only thing said against the men of
that community was said by Editor
Benjamin and re-published in the In
dependent-St. Petersburg Independ-
ent.
We always write for home con-
sumption, and we will give the indie
pendent a Thanksgiving 'possum if
it will show US wherein our people
need to be appeased. None of them
have asked for any appeasement. AS
for what Editor Major Brown has
said about the men of this community
we quote his own words, as follows:
"Pinellas county does not want to
have to rely on vigilance committees
and mobs, so has organized the coun-
ty guard"
The foregoing paragraph was di-
rectly intended to apply to the men Of
Marion county, And it was the Sec
ond time the Independent had made
such a reference. The truth of the
matter is that Editor Brown, with a
lack of his customary good sense,
butted into an affair that didn't con-
Germ him. We commend him, how
ever, for his fairness in reprinting
our article in full. In doing this, @he
set a shining example to some other
journalists.

Ambassador Gerard says of the
feeling in Germany against German
Americans: 81 believe that today all
the bitterness of the hate formerly
concentrated on England has now
been concentrated on the United
States. The COMMUNICATIONS are
hated worse than the native Ameri-
cans. They have deeply disappointed
the Germans; first, because, although
German-Americans contributed enor-
mously toward German war charities,
the fact of this contribution was not
known to the recipients in Germany.

The Star takes great pleasure in
saying that its little controversy with
Mr.. Leroy Hodges, campaign director
of the food administration, regard
ing the too-free use of the telegraph,
has been amicably settled. Mr.. Hodges
may have slung lightning almost as
promiscuously as Jupiter, but he has
saved lot of money to the govern
ment in other ways. He is an enthus-
iastic and efficient young worker in
the cause, and the Star wants the
people to give him an ovation as we'll
as hearing when he speaks at the
Temple tomorrow morning.

Secretary McAdoo states that bank,

write "traitor" in red ink across each
page of their bank books Tampa

Better write it across their faces.

BELLEVIEW

Belleview, Oct. 20.-Mr. John F.
Hardison who fought some fights his
own little self back in the sixties,
and went hungry and cold many a
time, just fell over himself in his
eagerness to buy Liberty Bond. say
ing that he knew what is was to lack
the comforts and have to fight at the
same time and that our boys must be
clothed and fed.
Mr.. Peter H. Hekkema, the meat
man, the only real genuine Dutchman

he has $50 to spare to help whip

And sure enough Friday and Sat
urday brought some of our yankee
friends. From train No. 8 Friday
came Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. White, with
little Miss Maye from Pittsburg, Pa.
Friday night on train No. l Mr.. and
Mrs. W. S. Cogswell blew in, and it
can be safely said that the game sea-
son is near at hand.
The Masons will hold their usual
monthly meet Thursday night, Oct.
18th, and I understand that there
will be plenty a doing.
Mr.. James n. Shedd, seized with
the desire to do something or some
body, packed his kit of tools, bought
railroad ticket and now he is swing
ing hammer and showing a saw and
pushing plane up in the big burg of
Jacksonville. His side partner, Mr..
John T. Hames, feeling lonesome,
packed his kit and has gone to the
wilds of Wildwood, where he will
make the sawdust fly for awhile.

The seriousness of the situation
confronting this country does not
seem to be appreciated. A person
could wax eloquent on the subject
and lecture a bunch of persons for
one hour. At the finish the listeners
would quietly ask "what are you CIV
ing u.s." In my own way, I will try to
impress the matter upon you in a
place that it strikes you three times
per day. I have sold thousands of
pounds of white meat at 10 cents per
pound; today white meat at 40 cents
per pound makes your dollar of yes
terday only worth 25 cents today. We
have sold tons of broken rice at 212c
per pound; today broken rice is scarce
at &c. and Zoe. per pound. Sugar has
sold in Belleview at SC. per pound; to-
day it sells at 121ac., and I read in
today's papers that sugar is selling
in New York city at 15c. per pound,
and the stores will not sell one Gus
toner more than one or two pounds
at time. We formerly sold 20 to 25
sacks of potatoes per month, at Zoe
and 25c. per peck; today SOC. pre-
walls as the price. Do you get me?
What | am trying to impress upon
you is: if there was plenty of food in
the country, prices would be lower.
And what | do want to impress upon
your mind is that no matter if prices
stay as they are or go higher, there
is not enough grub in the world to go
around. Believe me or believe me not,
you had better. The government is
doing its very best thru Mr.. Hoover,
the food controller, to awaken peo-
pie to the true sense of the situation,
even going to the extent of beating
it into the school children's heads.

RUSSIA STILL STUBBORN ON
 JEW DISPUTE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Russian government has declined to negotiate a new commercial treaty with the United States to replace the treaty abrogated by the American Congress under the Taft adminiSra- tion.
 Petrograd refuses even to discuss the question of a new treaty with David K. Francis, American amtaSsa dor to Russia, for these reasons:
 Russia never will accede to the American proposal that she honor all American passports and thereby ad- init American Jews to her dominions.
 Russia feels that since she euered into the economic alliance with the other Entente allies at the Paris con ference she would prefer to consult Great Britainy, France, Italy, and Japan before discussing a commeroia. treaty of any character with the United States.

Bids for the construction of two 4NI foot motor boats, designed by Martin C. Erisman, well known naval archi- tect. will be asked from Seattle ant other Puget Sound yards by the Unit ed States bureau of fisheries, which will use the vessels in connection with the fisheries service.
