The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-07-13

A dispatch from Tallahassee says
that j. S. Bitch (better known in
this part of the state as Sim),
has been elected by the board
|of state institutions superintendent of
the state prison farm at Raiford in
place of d. w. Purvis, who will take
a place in the state highway depart
ment. We are afraid it's bad swap
and very likely done to serve political
ends. Mr.. Bitch has made Governor
Cats an excellent secretary. When
he took the Office, the governor, prob
ably badly advised, was keeping the,
state in turmoil. The improvement
in affairs as soon as Bitch became
secretary was marked. He knows ten
times as much about the state as
Cats does, and that he has been a
staunch friend to the governor we
have had plenty of evidence We
daresay he will manage the state
farm all right, but he is better suited
for other duties. The state could
hardly have found better man than
Capt. Purvis to manage the prison
farm, and putting him in the state
highway department, which as con-
Quoted now is a good deal of a super
fluffy, is driving a square peg in a
round hole. The public will find out
soon why this new deal of the politi-
cal cards.

Mr.. F. A. Mann, who founded the
Halifax Journal at Daytona over thir-
ty years ago, is now justice of the
peace at Lomoc, Santa Barbara coun-
ty, Calf. The Halifax Journal was
the first newspaper, that lived, to be
established on the East Coast south
of st. Augustine. and is the only pa
per on the East Coast to live that
length Of time under one name The
first paper established on the East
Coast south of st. Augustine was a
little semi-monthly at Glencoe, vii
lage three miles west of New Smyrna.
It only printed few issues. The next
paper was the Titusville Star, yet liv-
ing, the next the East Coast Advo-
cate, at Daytona, and the next the
Breeze at New Smyrna, of which the
writer was the first editor. 1t was
established in 1887, and is bigger and
better now than ever. We are glad
to hear of Brother Mann again, and
in common with his other friends hope
he is well and happy.

A good many of the Allied news
papers are inclined to consider that
Won Kuehlmann's resignation was
forced by his telling more truth than
was acceptable to the kaiser and his
chief councillors when he made his re-
cent speech in the reichstag, saying
Germany couldn't hope for victory
without negotiation. It is probable
that Won Kuehlmann said just what
the kaiser instructed him to say and
his speech was trying it on the dog"
The dog-that is, the war party-set
up a baying, so the kaiser pretended
to be indignant and intimated that
Kuehlmann's resignation would be ac-
ceptable. After Won Kuehlmann's
performance at Brest-Litovsk, where
he was the main instrument in the
most infamous piece of diplomacy
ever perpetrated by one country on
another, it isn't to be supposed that
his conscience would revolt at any
thing.

In estimating the forces on the
western front, Frank Simonds, the
war critic, gives the Germans $780,
900 men against the Allies 2,350.000.
Simonds, however. estimated the Brit
ish force at 100000, but Fridays dis
patches announced they were 2,000,-
0O0 If this be correct, the Allies
have superiority of nearly million.
Simonds estimates the Americans on
the fighting front at nearly half a
million-two hundred thousand or
more in Ligget's army, and the others
interspersed with French and British
units. About 100000 are in training
back of the lines. while the others,
three or four hundred thousand, are
engaged in transportation and supply
service.

Conviction that the German high
command has encountered serious OBJ
stacles in preparing for an offensive
on the western front. is gaining
ground in the minds Of officials in
Washington. They cannot believe q
renewal Of the attack would be de-
ferred voluntarily. when it is obvious
every days additional delay works
against the ultimate success of the
whole purpose of forcing military
decision this year. to which the Ger
mans are committed.

1t now appears that all the muss
about Major Smiths remark at Mi

We didn't suppose anybody ever
gave up land once acquired in Pinellas
county, but here comes the st. Peters

list that fills thirty Eight and half
double columns. Years ago, in the
most depressed days of Marion, after
the big freeze, our county's delinqu-
ent tax list used to fill about thirty
double columns. The last tax list
printed few weeks ago, filled TWEEN
ty-one double columns, and it was

is about one-fourth the size of Mar
ion, and it's delinquent list is nearly
twice as large. Why is this thus
