RESTORING ORDER
Cologne, Saturday, Dec. 7.-(By

been re-established here as the result
of the arrival of an advance guard>of
British troops. There had been sew
eral days af the keenest anxiety in
the city, caused by extensive riots
and pillaging on the part Of mobs Of
the lower classes with attendant
bloodshed. According to the burgo-
master the rioting was due to the in
ability of the poor to obtain food and
clothing and also in part to freshly
inoculated Bolshevik ideas. \

A PROPOSITION

Editor Star: Under cate of Dec.
7th l notice your item with reference
to Ocala making an effort to stop
travellers while going through our
city, and as have just returned from
a trip through the tourist section of
the state, consider this an opportune
time to state facts as l saw them.
To begin with Ocala has fully as
many, if not more, attractions. for
tourists than the majority of towns,
such as Leesburg, Orlando, Kissim-
NEE, Winter Haven, Barlow, etc. By
this statement | do not mean to dis
courage improvements to our city.
On the contrary have at times, to my
sorrow, been little too anxious, as
for instance leveling and grading the
ball grounds for league teams, and
planting palmetto trees on the city
|civic center, without any visible signs
of being paid for same, but l have
the best interests of the city at
heart, and am ready to get stung
|again in a good cause.
From my observation what tour
list wants most is comfortable hotels
and boarding houses and good roads.
Accent on the good roads.
Marion county has built fairly
good roads, but evidently does not or
cannot for some reason, give said
roads any attention after same ARE
built. For instance, we travelled on
a clay road from Leesburg to Or
lando via Clermonh after a weeks
rain, and said road was cut up in ruts
nearly foot deep in places, and on
our return over this road the next
day found same in perfect condition,
in fact, the best clay road in Florida,
and said road was put in this condi-
tion by two teams with drags. driven
| by men who knew their business
whereas, the road from Wildwood to
Belleview, or Belleview to Leesburg
both good clay roads of the same
material, are in such condition that
you can hardly make five miles pei
hour in places.
1t seems folly to me for the county
to build good roads and make nc
provision for upkeep. 1t is about the
same proposition as it would be for a
farmer to plant and raise corn with.
out cultivation. Why, down south
even on the asphalt roads, they have
crew all the time that does nothing
but make minor repairs.
| sincerely hope that the. county
commissioners will bear these facts
Ill mind, and if necessary take a TRIP
south after continued rainy weather
and watch operations, as Marion
county is long way behind the
times when you talk about gooe
roads. Eric J. Collier.

HANG THE KAISER

Editor Star: | notice from current
press reports that some leading Eng
lish statesmen seem to advocate the
trial and execution of the kaiser, and
that some English and French law
yers and professors of international
law, are undertaking to justify such
course, alleging jurisdiction in the
courts of the Allies.
In my humble opinion it is folly
sheer folly-for the Allies to try the
kaiser for any offense, for in any
court of the Allies the kaiser would
be tried and convicted before he ap-
peared therein; his conviction would
be foregone conclusion. We do not
want to lower the standard of our
courts. We had better shoot him
without trial. To require the German
people to try him would be equiva>
lent to an order to convict and ex-
ecute him and would be subject to the
same objections above made.
While the above reasons might not
appeal to everyone, it is now perfect
ly apparent that the whole world is
interested to see order restored in
Germany and to obtain a stable form
of government in Germany, and this
can only be accomplished through the
more intelligent classes in Germany
As Germany was thoroughly organ
lied politically before and during the
war, it will be easily understood that
nearly all of the more intelligent
class, or the majority of that class
must be public known as supporters
of the government and policies of the
kaiser, and therefore, to completely
discredit that class by the public and
bloody execution of the kaiser would
simply be tantamount to turning
| Germany over to the Bolsheviki, as
only those citizens of Germany whose
lack of intelligence made them OBJ.
scure would be available as public
leaders. Our interests and the inter.
| ests of the world now demand that
for the present we ignore the kaiser
as far as possible, and let US hope
that he will remain in Holland ano
hatch no plots. But to console those
who advocate his execution we might
refer to Napoleon, to Santa Anna OF
Warren Hastings and counties.

civilians behave there will be no op-
oppressive restrictions. He warns
them, however. that misbehavior will
be dealt with firmly. and severely.
The people of Treves have been
greatly relieved to learn that they
would not have to feed the American
army. They had been under that i'm
preston, and when they found that
the Americans would feed themselves
they were greatly pleased.
One may comment on the apparent
ly successful operation of the sol
diers' councils, which generally in
clude workmen. The radical elements
are evidently being held down, and
the conservative socialists manage
aaffirs. A statement by the soldiers
council says:
"This is not a bloody revolution.
as was that of Russia, but merely the
institution of a new and cleaner form
of government"
These councils have in every case
thus far done their part in complying
with the requirements of the Ameri.
can commanders and in taking pre-
cautions against disorders. Generally
they appear to be able to handle the
situation, although the interest of the
population as to the form of govern
ment appears rather lackadaisical
They seem mostly anxious to make
sure that the war is over.

FEAST FROM MARION
PRODUCTS AT THE FAIR
(Times-Union, 8thl

A banquet of Marion county pro-
ducts was rendered yesterday by rep
resentatives of that county to the
other exhibitors at the state fair, the
gathering taking place at the Aragon
hotel. Mrs. Anna Tweedy, assistant
secretary of the Marion County Fair
Association, in charge of her coun-
ty's exhibit at the fair, acted as
hostess. A. Sample. of Ocala acted
as postmaster, calling on a number
of Marion county people and guests
for speeches. among whom were Mrs.
Tweedy, J. w. Blackman and Mrs.
Moorhead.
The refreshments served were
mostly direct from Marion county.
Mrs. Moorhead, home demonstration
agent, prepared the sandwiches, US
ing peanut butter from the factory at
Reddick and country butter furnished
by Mrs. E. C. Beuchler of the An
thony Farms. The tomatoes used
were taken from the Marion county
BOOTH The Cheek Neal Coffee Com
pany, longtime friends of the Mar
ion County Fair, furnished the coffee.
The cakes were baked by Mrs. Robert
Marsh of Ocala and called forth many
compliments. Even to the service
everything was Marion county pro-
duct. J. w. Davis, Frank Ditto and
j. c. Jackson acted in the capacity of
walters, assisting Mrs Tweedv and
Mrs. Moorhead in serving the guests.
How Marion county captured first
prize in the county exhibits section,
was asked of several prominent rep
resentatives of that county and all
responded with their versions of how
this feat was accomplished. Hard
and untiring work on the part OF
Marion county farmers and home
workers in producing products of suf-
ficient excellence to take first prize at
such an exposition was responsible
they agreed, for the victory, though
Marion was proclaimed as capable OF
producing prize winning products al
any time.

ANOTHER Of WILSON'S
HISTORICAL UTTERANCES
SAYS NO TRUE AMERICAN GAN VISIT
GERMANY EXCEPT ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS

Paris, Dec. 10.-According to a
wireless from the transport George
Washington, says the Echo de Paris,
. President Wilson has been informed
of the efforts to get him to visit Ger
many. The president is quoted as
having made the reply that only by
long years of repentance can Ger
many atone for her crimes and show
her sincerity "No true American"
said the president, "could think of
visiting Germany unless forced to do
so by strictly official obligations. This
is to say | decline in advance to con-
slider any suggestion of that kind"
PREMIER OF FRANCE WILL
PRESIDE
On Board the George Washington,
Dec. 0.-(Wireless to the Associated
Press. )--The president probably will
not sit at the peace table, but will be
represented there by delegates, while
remaining in close contact with heads
of other nations and prepared to de-
eide questions referred to him.
Premier Clemenceau, it is believed,
will be president of the peace confer
ence. This is considered fitting be-
cause the conference is to be held in
France. President Wilson's disposi-
ton is jim favor of entirely public pro-
ceedings, such as carried on in the
Senate chamber at Washington, with
press representatives given every ia
cility to report business. Naturally
there will be need of secrecy, as in
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee, but the presidents idea is pro-
cedure which could be the same as a
committee considering confidential
and delicate features of the various
questions, and reporting back to the
peace congress.
