we have no use here for a man who
does not value the freedom of this

that we have and shall we discourage
their efforts by an apparent disregard
of the dangers from within through
spies and pro-German workers? A

that those who are not heart and soul

the end on that basis.

We have heard quite a number of
citizens from various parts of the
county severely criticise the late
grand jury for not bringing an indict-
ment against G. w. Mills for killing
j. H. Hall at Fellowship few months
ago. Not that there is any enrnity
against Mr.. Mills or a special desire
that he should have been convicted:
but 1T is difficult to understand why
an act of this sort should have been
smothered in the grand jury room.
There is a general feeling that had
some frlendless man been the defend.
ant ne would have certainly been in
dlcted; and if he hadn't had mighty
smart lawyer he would have been
convicted of manslaughter. at the
least. A grand jury has no business

doesn't believe he had any idea of

The Star has lost a personal friend
in the death of Henry S. Chubb, who
passed away at his winter home at
Princeton on the East Coast Sunday.
Mr.. Chubb was a native of Wisconsin
and about go years of age. He came
to Florida when a young man and
made his home in Orange county, be-
ing one of the founders of the pretty
town of Winter Park. He was pro-
gressive man and from the time he
came to Florida he constantly worked
for the good of the state as well as
his own locality. Mr.. Chubb was prom
inent in politics, he was republican
and for years was virtually republi-
can boss of the state. Nevertheless,
he was always held in the highest
esteem by his democratic neighbors.
His remains were laid to rest at Win
ter Park Monday, the funeral being
attended by not only hundreds of his
neighbors, but by prominent men
from all over the state.

PARISH PRIEST
USED AS SHIELD
Brand Whitlock Tells of CoWardIy
Act of Commander of Ger
man Detachment.
HUGH GIBSON ADDS EVIDENCE
Tells OF Priests Compelled to Walk Be-
fore "Huns" to Form Screen
Cardinal Mercier's Statement
as to Taking of Hostages.

That the Germans IN Belgium
made use of Womers, children, and
priests as screens to protect the IN
uaders from Belgian troops IS shown
By the following testimony gathered
by the committee on public infor-
nation:
Minister Whitlock, In his report of
September II, 1917, to the secretary of
states, gives an instance of the Ger
man practice of seeking protection.
'aThe Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge in the
village. The Germans forced the par
ish priest OF Autgaerden TO walk in
front OF them as a shield. AS they
neared the barricade the Belgian sol
diers fired and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belgians the
Germans shot four men, burned 80
houses, and looted 100.''
Hugh Gibson, in "a Journal From
Our Legation in Belgium" page 155,
gives another incident:
1.-TWO old priests have staggered in
to the - legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead of the German troops for
miles as sort of protecting screen.
One Of them is i'll, and it is said that
he may die as a result of what he has
gone through"
Statement of Cardinal Mercier.
'At the time of the invasion Bel
gian civilians, in 20 places, were made
to take part in operations Of war
against their own country. At Ter
monde, Lebbeke, Dinant and elsewhere
I'm many places, peaceable citizens,
women and children were forced to
march in front of German regiments
or to make screen before them.
'eThe system Of hostages was carried
out with a fierce cruelty. The procla-
nation of August 18th, quoted above,
declared, without circumlocution
Hostages win be freely taken
Gan official proclamation, posted at
Liege, in the early days of August, ran
thus: Every aggression committed
against the German troops by any per-
sons other than soldiers in uniform
not only exposes the guilty person to
be Immediately shot, but will also en-
tail the severest reprisals against all
the inhabitants, and especially against
those natives of Liege who have been
detained as hostages in the citadel Of
Liege by the commandment of the Ger
man troops
''These hostages are Monsignor Rut-
ten, bishop of Liege; NJ. Kleyer, burgo-
master of Liege; the senator's, repre-
sentatives, and the permanent deputy
and sheriff of Liege."
The above quotation is taken from
