Alderman McIver is perfectly cor
rect in holding the Stars bid to pub
lish the auditors report over until
next meeting, in order to enable the
Banner to bid on it, too. We will be
very glad to have the Banner bid, and
if it puts in a lower bid we will help
it out in the typesetting and publica-
ton. As matter of fact, however,
before making any bid to the council,
we consulted the proprietor of the
Banner and he said he did not care to
tackle such a big job of typesetting
for so little money.

We think our friend Bloom of the
Lakeland Star is making a mistake in
his continual nagging of Mr.. Hether-
ington of the Telegram. We don't
know that it does Hetherington any
harm but it certainly doesn't do Bloom
any good. We are not posted on the
reasons of the dispute between the
two Lakeland editors, but are sure of
one thing, and that is that Hethering-
ton does not steal his editorials. We
would have found him out years ago
if he did.

4 whole lot of school teachers a

A whole lot of school teachers are
going to quit the profession this sum-
mer and go into more profitable bus
mess. Their salaries are entirely too
low. The state has money enough to
pay the teachers better salaries if it
would get rid of the horde of useless
officials it is paying. So far from be-
ing a state of democratic simplicity,
Florida is more loaded down with un,
necessary officeholders than any state
in the Union. There are so many
commissions in Tallahassee that they
are in each others way, and most of
them created to pay political debts.

says he knows what it means for an

convince himself that he is.-Fort

number of our railroad men are
conspicuous by their absence. These

as large an amount as any other bus

No Time to Hang Back Now Says General March in
 Statement Yesterday.
MARCH TELLS WHAT
 DIVISIONS ARE DOING
First Courier From General Pershing Arrives With
 Names of Wounded.

Washington, Oct. 11.-American troops sent overseas have passed the 1,900.OO0 mark. General March announced today, coupling his state- Ment with an urgent appeal to the country to support the Fourth Liber- ty Loan.
 The present is no time to hang back, General March said, for the 1naximum resources of the nation and men and money must be hurled at the Hun" to make victory cer- tain, and while the movement of soldiers across the water is cOntinu- ing. the War Department is prepar- ing another 100000 men to follow the first 100000.
 The department has asked Con- . eress for eight billion dollars to carry out it's program, he added, and the financial support of that pro- gram must not be withheld by the nation.
 Summing up the battle situation on the west front, General March said with the capture of Le Cateau by tho British the allied forces were within 14 miles of the railway junc- tion of Aulnoye, which is vital strategical point for the enemy. The Liege- -Maubouge railway and the la- teral road through Sedan at which the American army is striking on the Mouse meet each other at Aul- noye and these two lines are the main arteries for German supplies ard troop movements in France.
