TARPON SPRINGS GOES OVER THE.
TOP IN THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.
THE ALLOTMENT FOR THE COUNTY HAS BEEN RE,
DUCED AND OUR AMOUNT is NOW $65, 757. 60
INSTEAD OF $72,OOOOO
Todays Report Shows That We Have Pledged $664500C
Let's Make it the Original $72,000.OO

The big surprise came when it was
finally learned that instead of in
creasing the county's allotment in the
sum Of 100000 as was at first ex-
pected, it was lowered from $4,000
to $457, 5000. The former quota was
based on 10 per cent of the bank de-
posits and the campaign started ac-
cordingly. -
Pinellas is now out to win new
laurels. 1t is the opinion of the COM
mittee that the county has a good
chance to win the loving cup offered
by Jacksonville firm for the county
returning the greatest oversubscrip-
ton Of its quota in the state. It is
also hoped to put every town across
the line so that each will win an honor
flag and the county as whole star
in its honor flag. Three towns had
not reached their quotas last evening.
They were Pinellas Park, Tarpon
Springs and Anona. The latter, it is
believed, will go over the top today.

Calls for Pause of One Minute at

~
In the following proclamation, Gov
ernor Cats calls upon every patriotic
citizen of the state of Florida to adopt
the custom of standing still at 6 o.
clock each evening hour, and remain
ing silent for the period of one min
ute. He also urges that all male cit
liens remove their hats, and he re-
quests that traffic of all kinds stop for
that period. The governor also urges
that all municipalities of the state
pass an ordinance, as speedily as pos
sible, putting the suggested custom
into effect. The proclamation is as
follows:
Whereas, the spirit of the times
brought about by the fact that our be-
loved country is now engaged in life
and death struggle with the antagon-
lists of democracy; and,
Whereas, it is to the interest Of all
people of this state and nation that
patriotism and reverence for the flag
and the principles it stands for shall
be constantly kept uppermost in the
minds of our people; and,
Whereas, a most patriotic sugges-
ton has been made by one of Florida's
daughters, as to the method of calling

country from them as citizens and,

Iarpon Honors
Our Soldier Boys

The Clearwater Sun of last Satur-
day tells Of our boys who left for
camp last Saturday, in the following
story:
Several of the men who went away
this morning were from Tarpon
Springs, and, according to the army
rule, all men who go to the training
camps must leave from the county
seat. Hence the men from Tarpon
Springs had to come here to entrain.
There were ordered to report here at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at
that hour they arrived here, accom-
panied by the Citizens band, the Tar
pom Springs home guard and about
twenty-five automobiles filed with cit
liens of that city.
fen ne nv Jorcade reached the
north city limits, the band and mem
bers of the home guard got out Of the
automobiles, and, forming in line,
marched into the business portion of
the city and were followed by the train
of automobiles filled with Tarpon
Springs citizens.
"rhis action on the part of the peo-
pie of that city shows the interest
they feel in the men who are going
away in the defense of the nation.
Their coming to this city in such a
large body yesterday to honor their
soldier friends was not only commend
able but a beautiful and graceful thing
to do. The motorcade attracted much
attention here in Clearwater and all
along the route from here to Tarpon
Springs.
"All of the men summoned to go
away this morning appeared except a
Greek who was in Hopewell, Va, and
who did not get his call in time to get
here

being changed.
The doctor and his family like Flor
ida immensely, but must go where
work is to be done, this field here be-
ing inadequate for man of the wide
experience and ability of DR.. Fourier
Ia larger field of labor is his desire
and the army today offers that field.
DR.. Fourier is a man of strong con-
victions and does what he thinks right
regardless of whether it pleases the
public or not, therefore he viii al
ways make strong friends of those
who admire these qualities and incur
the dislike of those who do not.
Many will heartily miss this es-
Unable family and personally we win
be among the number. Though we are
not of his church we have become
pretty well acquainted with the doctox
and his family and hold them in high
esteem.

YESTERDAYS FIGHT ALONG ENTIRE. Line

Germans had been fruitless all along
the line. The field marshaPs state
ment said that the Teutons had paid
a great price and had gained virtually
nothing.
The battle still continues along the
front, but there is little indication
that an immediate withdrawal from
Ypres is contemplated by the allies, at
least until they have exacted from
the enemy great sacrifice of human
lives.
While the struggle was going on be-
fore Ypres, the British positions from
LaBasse to Houtholst wood and from
Lens to Vimy were deluged with shells
but so far there has been no infantry
fighting reported from that part Of
the front.
Germany has presented a virtual I'LL
timatum to Russia, demanding that
able-bodied German prisoners Of war
be sent home at once, proposing in re-
turn that only sick and incapacitated
Russians shall be turned over in ex-
change. If the Russian government
does not bow to the demand, Germany
threatened to take Petrograd. A COM
mittee of one hundred and fifteen Ger
mans has been appointed to go to the
Russian capital to present the de-
Inand.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-04-30

Germany's armies are hurting them
selves against granite wall on three
sides of the ruined city of Ypres.
After fighting of the most terrific ma
ture, the British and French lines are
still intact and the enemy has lost
terribly in his frantic assaults against
the lines where the allies stand at bay.
The objective of the fighting that
now is going on is the capture OF
Ypres, where since 1914 the British
have held their positions. Two years
ago the allied lines were carried for
ward and the salient in front OF the
city was wiped out, but from these
positions the British retired week
ago to the trenches where they stood
during the terrific fighting in the
spring of 1915, when they stopped the
Germans in their first drive for the
channel ports.
The present battle opened with a
bombardment of the British and
French lines from Meteren to .Voor-
Mezeele, distance of twelve miles.
Then came reports of spread of the
fighting around the curve in the line
in front of Ypres until the Belgian
armies north of the city were in
volved. Field Marshal Haig's official
report, awaited anxiously, brought the
news that the utmost efforts of the

The announcement was made that
the allotment for Tarpon Springs to
raise has been reduced to $65, 1880,
and the report up to noon today shows
$66,450.00 has been pledged as fol-
lows:
The Sponge Exchange bank reports
$20,650 paid in and $5,400 pledged but
not yet paid, making a total of $685.
$50. The Bank of Commerce reports
$4,000 paid in, and $1,000 pledged
but not yet paid, making total of
$4,000.
The st. Petersburg Times says this
morning:
st. Petersburg and Pinellas county
have gone over the top with grand
flourish, both exceeding their quotas.
1t was not until the county committee
had received definite information as
to the county allotment that figures
on the drive were given out, which
showed that st. Petersburg alone had
subscribed for 1921, 800 worth of bonds
and the county as a whole $594,910.

Robber Gang Stays
Late in St. Pete.

st. Petersburg, April 29.-Evidenee
that another winter visitor here was
defrauded only recently out of $4,000
by confidence men operating here was
turned over to the police yesterday,
but they find their hands tied and are
unable to do anything. The man,
whose name is withheld, put up $4,000
on a stock scheme after he had been
{ 'tolled"' along by being allowed to
win one big deal. He lost the $4,000,
and then was told to go back home and
get $4,000 more and he could win back
what he had lost. He is now in the
north to get the cash and is expected
back here in a few days. A gang of
confidence men operated here all win
ter and worked so well that they es-
capped arrest, but they were successful
in several instances that are known
and may have been successful in other
instances never reported by the vic
TINS. The fact that they were here
only a week ago, the time when the
latest victim lost his roll, was sur
prise to everybody, as it was thought
the crooks had departed with the big
tourist crowd. The gang, operated
boldly here, even going SO far, it is
said, as to rent handsome home.

Whereas, the city of Jacksonville

law an ordinance calling attention to

Now, therefore, I, Sidney J. Cats,
governor of the state of Florida, do
hereby call upon all patriotic citizens
of this state to adopt the custom, that
at 6 o'clock each day all citizens do
stand still and silent for a period of
one minute, and that all male citizens
do remove their hats, and that traffic
of all kinds do stop at that time and
for that period.
81 earnestly urge, in the name of our
beloved country, that all municipali-
ties in this state pass an ordinance, as
speedily as possible, putting into effect
this custom; and l earnestly hope that
this observance will be carried into ev-
cry business house, every shop and Of
fee, and I especially urge the people
of the state, who would not be reached
by municipal ordinances, voluntarily
to adopt the practice, in order that at
6 o'clock each day the people of Flori-
da will stand for one consecrated min
ute, and honor our government, well
realizing that at that same moment
each day our sons throughout all lands
are likewise standing at attention in
honor of our flag and our govern
ment."

Weaned From,

that he went to Wall Springs and
bought a fine $3.50 Jersey COW and a
buffalo calf.
Sam says fiddling is all right for
people who were raised inside house,
but while he is recognized as one of
the finest fddlers in Pinellas county
he says the confinement is too hard
on him and he has to get out on the
range again.
About six months ago he sold his
large herd of cattle and remarked
that he WAS now weaned and was go
ing to take life easy, but he has been
declining in health ever since, he de-
clares, and will have to swing to the
teats of the long horns for the bal
ance of his life as he is too old to
learn new habits, and he thinks he has
not yet attained his full growth.
Living on wheat bread and chicken
has been too much for Sans consti-
tuition, so he has gone back to- good
old corn pone and fresh milk,
and soon you will see him
swing into the saddle again and hit
the trail. His Tin Lizzie will be laid
up until he regains his health at least.
Sam declares he has lost fully three
quarters of a pound since he left the
saddle for the Tin Lizzie and Sans
frame wasn't built in such a manner
as to allow for any further shrinkage.
