WON'T DEvOLvE
ON THE WEALTHY
Both Poor and Rich Will Have to Do
Their Bit in Bearing
the War Burden
Especial to the Starr

Jacksonville Feb. Enhancing
the war will not devolve upon the
wealthy classes as many seem to pre-
sumo in Florida, according to state
ment made by Secretary McAdoo, at
a mass meeting at Keith's theater in
Washington recently, but every man,
woman and child in the country must
do his bit or two bits. State Director
j. F. C. Griggs says he has found
considerable sentiment that this wan
can be successfully financed without
sacrifice on the part of those in the
remote sections of the state, but that
such is not the case. for unless we
render assistance voluntarily, it will
be commandeered, according to the
director. In his speech at Washing
ton Secretary McAdoo said:
"We have a great deal of money to
raise, and it cannot be raised by
bankers alone.
"The banks of this country have not
the resources to sustain Americas
needs in this war and to enable
America to extend to our allies who
are fighting with us the essential aid
which they must have to enable them
to go on with the war.
"The rich of this country alone
cannot do it, The men of this country
alone cannot do it. The women of this
country alone cannot do it.
"But all of us, the people of the
United States, by disregarding par
tisan ship, forgetting selfish interest,
thinking only of the supremacy of
right and determined to vindicate the
majesty of our ideals and to secure
the safety of America and civiliza-
tion, can do this great and splendid
piece of work.
sour business these days is to
think only in terms of America, to
forget self, to forget ambition, to
forget partisanship, to forget every
thing except right and justice and
triumph for Americas cause and the
suppression forever of those infam-
Gus things which have cast civiliza-
tion itself into darkness during these
last three horrible years.
Every man, woman and child in
this country who wants to serve can
serve and they can serve in a very
simple and effective way. Every 25
cents invested in War Savings Stamps
is loan to your government and
every 25 cents will do something to
help"

SINKLESS SHIPS

New York, Feb. 10.-Means have

dress at the dinner of the University
of Pennsylvania alumni. He said that
one of the ships recently command

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE"

"It pays to advertise" Now that
is not supposed to be an original
truism. And as general thing, is
only applied to business affairs, yet
when we took advantage of the invi-
tation extended thru the ad. in the
Star, to attend services at the Meth.
odist Sunday school yesterday and
found that every seat in the big
church was occupied and that so
large a number was standing around
the doors, that Fire Chief Chambers
had to put in an appearance and
make survey as to the personal
safety of so big crowd, we think we
are right in saying that the notice in
the Star like any business ad. was
bringing big returns.
1t was Sunday school rally day and
big drive was made during the
week to get out 500 people, and if
that number was not present it was
only because there was a limit even
to the capacity of Methodist church.
All the classes were full and the
mems class, meeting in small build
ing outside the main church and
which looks as though it might have
originally been built as an annex to
munition plant, was so full that the
leader, Brother NJ. M. Little threat
ened to knock out one end and take in
all the ground between the building
and Fort King avenue. 1t is very evi-
dent from the interest taken in the
class by the business men of the city
and led by the best teacher in the
state, that it is very short time till
larger and more comfortable quar-
ters will have to be furnished.
The program carried out by the
school at the opening exercises was
very interesting and was so arranged
that everybody present, from Pastor
Smith Hardin, Superintendent L. w.
Duval and the musical director, M.
NJ. Little, to the youngest boy in the
school, had their part cut out for
them and they all did well.
The principle feature of the pro-
gram was a history of the first Sun
day school in this country founded by
John Wesley in 1876 in the city of
Savannah, Ga, and which it is claim
ed was so years before the old shoe
maker, Robert Raikes started the first
Sunday school in England.
The dialogue between teachers and
scholars also told of the number or
scholars in their schools and the vast
amount of money raised by them for
mission work, the former reading like
the number of men drafted into the
American army, and the latter like a
big section of the Liberty Loan.
Next Sunday will be patriotic day,
and the exercises will include the un-
furling and presentation of beau
tiful service flag commemorating the
fact that 26 young men of the church
and school are now enrolled beneath
the star spangled flag of Uncle Sam.
Without a doubt these exercises will
be more than interesting and every
body in Ocala and surrounding coun-
try is cordially invited to be present.

SEC'Y BAKERS
STATEMENT
Of the War Forecasts that the Ger
mans are Developing their Long
Expected Offensive
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE relative
ly small loss of life on the Tuscania
is attributed by Secretary Baker to
the fine discipline of the men and the
efficiency of the officers. In his week
ly was review, published today, the
secretary also expresses the nations
appreciation of the splendid work of
the British navy in rescuing Ameri-
cans. The review points out that the
recent thrusts by Germans in Flan-
ders and around Cambrai may sug.
gest the development of Germany's
long deferred offensive in the west.
The American troops occupying a
sector of the Lorraine front are de-
scribed as having proved themselves
well fitted for the task.

ANSWER To GERMANY
AND AUSTRIA
President Wilson Again Informs the
World of the Terms ON Which
They Can Have Peace
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-Pres-
ident Wilson, addressing a joint ses-
sion of Congress today, replied to the
recent statements of Chancellor Won
Hertiing of Germany and Count
Czernin of Austria. He reiterated
his statement that the United States
had no desire to interfere in Euro
pean affairs, saying, America would
dlsdaln to take advantage of any in
ternal weakness or disorder to impose
her will upon another people,"
The test whether it were possible
for belligerents to go on comparing
views, he said, was simple and OBJ
vious, and the principles that woulo
be applied, he said, were:
First. Each part of the final set
tlement must be based on essential
justice to bring permanent peace.
Second. Peoples and provinces
must not be bartered about like chat
tells to establish balance of the pow
ers.
Third. Territorial settlements must
be for the benefit of the peoples con-
cerned, and not merely the adjust,
ment of rival states and claims.
Fourth. Well defined national as
pirations must be accorded all posi-
Bile satisfaction.
"Until such a peace is secured, we
have no choice but to go on" said the
president.
