SUB-TROPICALi aIID-WINTER
FAIR AT ORLANDO
(From the Eustls Lake Regionl


(From the Eustls Lake Region)
It is a well recognized fact that for
seven years past the Midwinter Fair
held at Orlando has surpassed like sex-
positions held anywhere in the South.
We are informed that there are let
ters on file in the secretary's Office
from men who make it their business
to go to all the state and county fairs
held in the South and they declare
that the Subtropical Midwinter Expo
sition held at Orlando beats them all.
Notwithstanding the fact that near
" all Florida fairs have been called
off this season, on account of the war,
the officials of the Midwinter Fair at
Orlando decided early in the game
that they would pull of the greatest
ever this year.
The premium list indicates that this
will surely be realized, for 'althougfs
the progpam is tentative and many
features are still in preparation, it is
quite plain that this fair,s which the

previous efforts.
Among the features, we notice that

Association will have a thirty-thousl
and-dollar exhibit, in a special build

The association viii meet in Orlan-
10 during the fair, and also the Ma
tIonal Berkshire Hog Congress viii

and delegates.
The hog department viii comprise
the greatest collection of the best
breeds in America.
The school department viii have the
largest exhibition ever held in the
state, in specially prepared build
ing, including over forty separate
booths.

go ON OR GO UNDER"
Is the Pithy Way in (which Lloyd
George Sums Up the
Situation
Associated Pressl

London, ean. 19.-Premier Lloyd
George, addressing the labor delega-
ito, yesterday said no man standing
on the watch tower could deny the
urgency of the need for raising more
men. The prime minister said no DEM
ocracy has long survived the failure
of it's adherents to be ready to die for
lit.
The premier said that he and Pres
ident Wilson, without previous con-
sultation-there was no opportunity
had laid down substantially the same
program of demands for the termina-
tion of the war.
Z There was no man willing to make
Eeace without complete restoration
of Belgium and reparation, the pre-
naier said. From Germany there had
been but one answer, he added, aand
it came from Won Tirpitz's soul
never
Continuing the premier said:
"Our channel ports are not far from
the fighting line, and unless we are
prepared to stand up to the people
who are dominating Germany, Brit
ain, British democracy, French de-
nnocracy and the democracy of Eu-
rope will be at the mercy of the most
cruel military autocracy the world
has ever seen"
Premier Lloyd George said that his
and President Wilson's war aims had
been acclaimed throughout the En-
tente Allied countries. There had
been hardly a voice of criticism save
from a few who wished he had made
more extreme demands. The social
lists of France, Italy and Great Brit
ain, he said, had accepted them as
very fair general demands.
The premier said that Germany had
answered "never" to his demand fol-
a reconsideration of the wrong of Al
sace-Lorraine and had declared that
Germany would go on until Meso-
potamia and Palestine were restored
to the tyranny of the Turks.
No single war aims condition made
by the British trade unions had been
answered by any German authority,
he added.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had
been no answer from Germany on the
recent Entente's war aims. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen.
von LudendOrf were brought back
for conferences but Foreign Minister
Won Kuehlmann was not allowed to
speak.
'tWhy?" asked the premier. Be
cause the Prussian military power is
dominAnt. The answer to be given
will be given from the cannon's
mouth"
IF any man here can find an hon
cradle and equitable way out Of this
conflict without fighting it through"
the premier continues, 'let him tell
it. My conviction is this-the people
must either go on or go under"

UNTIL SUMMER

Atlanta, Jan. 19.-Atlanta school
children and their, teachers are now In
the midst of winter vacation which
may be prolonged for an indefinite
time because, of the city's acute coal

pounds, and the schools will not re-
open until the summer months and
IN that event the time now lost viii be

HOW THE SOUTH CAN HELP

Washington, Jan. 19.-The South
should help to win the war by raising
its own foodstuffs and eliminating the
necessity of transportation food from
other sections of the country, said
Director General McAdoo, in an ap-
peal last night to the people of the
South, particularly to farmers. With
out reducing the cotton production

HEATHENIsM OF THE HUN

London-(C Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-ssThe fundamen-
tai evil of Germany today is idolatry," !"
said Lord Robert Cecil in statement
for the Associated Press. ssThey have
set up for themselves a craven image,
just as truly as did the worshippers
of Baal against whom the prophets f
the Bible preached.
"Germany's idol is the state. They
place the state above religion, above
morality, above all laws of God or
man. They believe that any act is
justified which advances the interests
of the German state, however base
that act may be, however immoral,
however inconsiderate of the lawful
rights of others.
"Otto Kahn, himself a German by
origin, has defined this state-idolatry
as the demoniacal obsession of pow
er worship and world dominion
"This idolatry is at the bottom of
our whole fight against Germany. It
is the secret of the whole revolving
list of outrages and atrocities which
Germany has committed against the
civilized world. The violation of Bel
gium, the Armenian atrocities, the
unspeakable horrors of submarine
warfare-all these are the outcome of
a creed which holds that no laws of
morality are binding when the de-
dense Of the state-idol is at stake.
The results of this violating of the
foundations of morality by Germany
are bound to be colossal and far
reaching. They mean the degeneracy
Of the whole German structure, and
the effects are already seen in Nthe
wave of crime and immortality which
If sweeping over Germany. So long
as the governing classes are infected
with this doctrine there is no limit to
the wickedness and cruelty which viii
be put into execution. It means the
undermining ultimately of the whole
fabric Of their civilization. This is
what President Wilson has foreseen.
This is reason for the determination
of President Wilson and the leaders
of the Allies on both sides of the wa
ter to carry this war through, what
ever the cost, in order that the world
may be fit world to live in.
sNThe Lansdowne letter has, been
thought by some to indicate some
weakening of determination on the
part of this country, some change of
attitude. believe any such impress
sion is profound delusion. I know
it is a delusion as far as the actual
government of England is concerned,
and believe that the British people
as a whole, including Lord Lans-
downe himself, are more determined
than ever to bring the war to VIC
torious conclusion.
"I see that it is being alleged with
certain degree of plausibiIity that
there are many points In which Lord
Lansdowne is in agreement with
President Wilson's message. That
may be so. But In the case of the
pre- sident's message there breathes
through every line not only deter
r1ination to win-for In that there is
no difference between the two men,
but also a certainty Of victory. Pres
ident Wilson's message has an inspir-
alton of leadership which Lans~
downe's letter lacks"

SPIRIT OF OUR SOLDIERS
Sign Left by the Rainbow Division at

Hampstead, Long Island, Jan. Is.
Editor Star: Saturday I arrived at
Camp Mills on special duty with
twenty-five other quartermasters.
Iwant to tell you about a sign that
met my eyes as went up to the camp
vacated by the famous "Rainbow
Division" On a white signboard
about four feet square the boys had
left this message, which is typical of
all the troops / have seen up this
way:
"Good-bye, good luck; we may not
come back but we are going to give
'em hell while we last"
To me that is the spirit of our army
today and it is dangerus spirit-for
the other fellow.
A~heavy rain last night left it nice
and warm today, and the camp
from one to four feet under water-a
good place now for a naval training

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Jan. 18.-The Italian troops
have broken the pressure the enemy
has been exerting in the lower Piave
in the sector nearest Venice. This is
triangular sector originally cleared
OF the enemy when the whole region
was inundated by opening the canals.
But recently low water has permitted
TIE enemy to return almost to Capo-
sile and the Venetian lagoons.
Enemy patrols had established dug.
outs and posts in the lagoons at Ag-
elizia Zuliana, just across the river
from Capsile, which commands the
canal running to Porto 'Grande and
the region back of Venice. Early in
the week the Italians had bombarded
the dugouts and destroyed the bridge
on which the enemy was attempting
to cross at Agenzia Trezza.
Stung by the repeated checks, the
enemy brought full force to bear
Wednesday morning. They were met
by chosen Italian troops from the
grenadier and Bersaglieri brigades.
The Bersaglieri hewed their way to
the enemy's support line. The fight
was stubborn for the first two hours,
but the enemy gradually gave ground
and was finally pushed back.
One Of the favorite ruses used by
the enemy was to advance with his
hands up, calling "kamerad." When
they would get iclose to the Italian
lines they would rush forward sud-
denly with hand grenades, but only to
be moved down by Italian machine
gun fire.
The fighting throughout was at
close quarters. Heavy losses were
sustained by the enemy and the Ital-
ians captured $50 prisoners. The bat
tlepround was covered with Austrian
dead. The Italian success gives a
serious check to the enemy effort to
improve his position near Venice.

to Providence. Those behind the prof
ect have prepared an imposing array
of facts and arguments to be laid be-
fore the federal authorities at the com
ing hearing in New York. The work
already done cost about $7,000,000 and
would cost about $4,000 900 more to
complete the line Providence, which

freight embargoes on merchandise to
that region as proving the inadequacy
of the present northern and western

one not chronically choked. 1t argues
that the present routes cannot carry
the waiting freight at any cost, and
points to the preference given by the
government to western war contracts

or organization in New England, but
on account of deficiency of trac kage tc

Through the resources and CONVEX
sion section of the War Trade board
plans are under way for a better dis
tribution of war work throughout the
country, it being the aim of the Off
cials Of this organization to eliminate
the confusion and ineflicieney that at
tends uncoordinated competition.
Charles A. Otis, chief of this division,
believes that in its haste to start war
production this country built more new
factories than were needed, the result
being extreme congestion in certain
localities and stagnation in others. In
his opinion it is foolish to continue to
increase production in regions already
swamped with business, thus wasting
both time and money in the building
OF unnecessary plants. His idea is
that the available facilities in every
locality should be utilized before new
ones are added, and it is with view
to such utilization that the bureau of
which he is the head is making an in.
dustrial survey of the country.

Rolled
Oats

This is the time Of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fall. To overcome this condition that
seems to occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags Of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
to purchase bag Of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value
much less than any other product fo1
human consumption. -
We suggest every family order a 90.
pound bag of Rolled Oats from their
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream OF
Maize are considered the best substi
tutes to use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.
