(By The International News Bureau) By Sir w. Triton, the Inventor of
 the Tank
 '"The more the engineers side of war is considered Ihc less cost ly in human life we shall finG our progress to the Rhine. The Tank presents the same problem as the cruiser. Weight is the gov crning factor. You have to ask yourself whether yOc will have
 armOr. strength or speed"
 The Tanks have abundantly justi- fled their introduction. They mater tally helped to win the battle of the Somme, and they were the great fac ter in the victory whi ;h we just cele- bTated.
 The use that Sir Julian Byng has made of them is evidence to me that the art of Tank warfare has been dis covered. For the first time the Tanks lave been given a chance to show their North.
 It has taken months to evolve the correct tactics.
 After the battle of the Somme, un- fortunately, the Tanks were not em- ployed to the best advantage.
 They were too distributed to give effective results, and the terrain in which they were employed was highly unsuitable. The Tanks were never iu- tended for the quagmires of Flanders The mud on this part of the front is SC deep that Tank has disappeared under it in a night.
 This is largely an engineers war but it is still very difficult to get of. ficials to understand that an engin- eer's advice may be advisable. Toe often the attitude adopted towards him is that of on intruder. The more the engineering side of the war is con sidered the less costly in human If; we shall find our progress to the Rhine.
 The Tank should revolutionize wa as much as labor-saving appliance! have revolutionized industry.
 The Tank has not only come to stay

Elsewhere we print a card from
Mr.. E. w. Clement, the citizen, who
has been accused lately of making Sc
ditious remarks. In personal inter-
view with the Star, Mr.. Clement de-
clares that he is as loyal as they
make them, that he has been some
what misrepresented and entirely mis-
understood. In delving into the mat
ter, the Star finds that Mr.. Clement
has been rather careless in his talk,
and said some things that would have
been all right few years ago but
are mighty precarious now. On the
other hand, it has found some of his
close friends who vouch for his loyal
ty. So taking the matter up one side
and down another, we recommend that
Mr.. Clement on the one hand be more
careful, and our people, on the other,
overlook his carelessness. People who
have sons in the army, particularly
those whose sons are on the fighting
line in France, can't be blamed for
being quick to resent anything that
looks like reflection either on the
boys or the cause they are fighting
for. The incident has been of service
1t will, we hope, rid one of our citf-
zens of load of suspicion and hos
tility which he has, perhaps unknow.
ingly, been carrying for months; il
may also be lesson to some of whose
disloyalty there is no doubt.

RAISING ELECTRIC RATES

The question of raising the rates
for electric current is going to come
UP in the council soon, and is bound to
cause considerable discussion among
our people.
I For the last three years Ocala has
enjoyed the lowest rate for current in
the state outside Jacksonville, and one
of the lowest in the world. The pro-
position TO raise the rate is going to
be quite unpopular. 1t is going to be
very unpopular with the Star. We
use electricity to drive our typeset-
ting machine, our presses, paper
cutter and other apparatus, beside
having to pay big bill for lights,
and when we look forward to an in
crease of % per cent or more on this,
it gives us pain.
At the same time we fully realize
that it is bad business and injustice
to sell current even to our own citf-
zens at a loss. IF the electric plant
doesn't pay expenses, the deficit must
be made up out of the property own
|ers and those who pay license for
carrying on business, and that isn't a
fair deal at all, especially when we
consider that of the users of current
perhaps majority do not own tax
able property.
One of the arguments offered for
the present very low rate was that it
was an excellent advertisement for
Ocala. This argument has it's merit
in normal times. It is not of much
effect at present. But Ocala can raise
its rates and yet sell current much
cheaper than the average town.
The following statement will show
Ocala's rates as compared with those
of other towns:
Palatka
Rate per K. w. H.: Citizens, 1Oc.;
industrial, &c. to &c. Plant owned by
private corporation; operated with

The st. Petersburg Independent
makes the following very sensible
suggestion regarding the daylight
saving law: Summer time, as it is
officially called, goes into effect at 2
a. m. Sunday. At that time every rail-
road clock and watch carried by every
train man will be set forward an hour.
Since few persons in the cities and
towns OF the country will be up at 2
o'clock Sunday morning the thing for
everybody to do is to set forward the
hands of the clocks and watches when
they go to bed Saturday night. They
should then forget all about the time
