ALLIES MUST PLAY SAFE

"He deems it his duty to say again,
however, that the only armistice he
would feel justified in submitting for
their consideration would be one
which would leave the United States
and the powers associated with it in
position to enforce any arrangements
that may be entered into, and to make
a renewal of hostilities on the part of
Germany impossible. The president
has therefore transmitted his CORES
pondence with the present German
authorities to the governments with
which the government of the United
States is associated as a belligerent,
with the suggestion that the princi-
Piles therein indicated are acceptable,
their military advisors and those of
the United States be asked to submit
to the governments associated against
Germany the necessary terms of such
an armistice as may be possible from
the military point of view. Should
such terms of armistice be suggested
their acceptance by Germany will af.
ford the best concrete evidence of her
unequivocal acceptance of the terms

POWER COMPANY
HAS NO PROPOSITION

Mr.. Clarence Camp informs the
Star plainly and positively that the
report that the Florida Power Com
pany has further proposition to
submit to the city, to furnish it with
electric current, has no foundation.
He says that he and the other men,
bers of the company made the most
reasonable proposition-namely two
cents-that they could make, and that
when it was refused they were thru.
They would like to have the city's
business if they could have it on good
terms for both sides-and with good
feelings on both sides-but that they
can get along without the business
and that they would much rather do
without it than have a continuation of
the controversy that has been going
on since the question was first sub
mitted.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Camp is
entirely sincere in what he says. No.
body can gainsay that he is a mighty
good citizen of Ocala and diligent
worker for the public good. So let US
let this burning question" go into
limbo.
Meantime the council must do
something, and do it quick, for under
present conditions it can't furnish
power for the fair, now only little
over three weeks off.

Mr.. j. Herbert Wilson of Jackson

THE FAIR WILL BE HELD
1t Was Unanimously So Decided at q
Meeting Held Wednesday
Evening

There was a good-sized attendance
of representative citizens at the
meeting Wednesday evening to discuss
fair prospects.
Mr.. R. S. Hall, president of the fair
association presided, and there were
present Vice President c. w. Hunter,
Secretary Mayo and considerable
number of prominent men from var
ious parts of the ounty.
DIR. Van Hood of the state board of
health was present and was consulted
as to the influence the prevailing epi-
demic might have on the fair. The
doctor said that the epidemic was on
the wane, and unless it took a fresh
start, which is unlikely, it would be
entirely out of the way many days
before the fair opens.
Mr.. Beuchler, Mr.. Johnson and
some other leading agriculturists
give it as their opinion that the farm
ers have plenty of exhibits-more
than usual-and will make them.
Almost all present expressed an
opinion favorable to the fair, and
when vote was called for all stood
up to record themselves as desirous
of having it held.
So it will be held, and don't forget
the dates-Nov. 1922.
From an amusement standpoint,
this will be the greatest occasion at
the fair grounds yet. The big Buffalo
Bill Wild West and Rhoda Royal
shows have combined. and they will
be at the fair in full force, making a
show that will put the average circus
in the shade. There will be other at
fractions, including the free shows in
front of the grandstand, which will
ensure something doing all the time.
ensure something doing all the time
There will also be brilliant fireworks
every evening.
There would never have been any
indecision or dispute about holding
the fair if it had not been for some
entirely unauthorized parties who
spread the report that it would not be
held.

and Mrs. c. C. Priest at Anthony. The
purpose of the occasion was to cele-
brate Mrs. Priests seventy-frst birth
day.
All brought we'll filled baskets and
at / o'clock dinner was spread on the
long table under the large. shady
china tree. After the blessing was
asked, all ate heartily. There was
chicken in abundance, cooked in a
variety of ways, such as baked, fried
and "pied," and those good old stand
bys, macaroni and salads were never
cooked better or enjoyed so well
There were cakes and pies of all de-
dishes of the hour were fresh boiled
ham and roast kid.
After dinner social conversation
was enjoyed by all. About o'clock
ice cream was served and every one
pronounced it the best they had ever
eaten.
Despite her many years, Mrs. Priest
is spry and everyone departed wishing
her many more happy birthdays. She
was the recipient of many beautiful
and useful presents.
All of her children and grandchil-
dren were there, excepting Mr.. and
Mrs. C. NJ Murphy of Oak and their
children. They wer not able to attend

SURRENDER NOW Or
KEEP ON SHOOTING
IS THE sum AND SUBSTANCE OF THE AMERICAN
AND ALLIED ANSWER

Washington, Oct. 24.-The presr-
dent in acceding to Germany's request
that he transmit it's plea for an armis-
tice and peace to the Allies, has in
formed Berlin there will be no armis-
tice that would leave the possibility
of a renewal of hostilities by Ger
many. That then, unless the German
people are assured of genuine consti-
tutional standing as real rulers, the
United States must demand not peace
negotiations, but surrender. The
presidents reply was handed to the
Swiss charge d'affairs last night just
eleven hours after the official text of
the German note was received, and is
now on it's way to Berlin. The presi-
dents reply is undoubtedly framed in
full accord with the allied govern

PATRIOTIC GIRLS
First Pledge in Ocala for the United
War Work Campaign

The first pledge reported for the
United War Work Campaign comes
from the State Industrial School at
Ocala. Recently representative of
the movement visited the school and
spoke to the girls about the agencies
that are doing so much for our sol
diers and sailors and the plans that
have been made to secure the funds to
continue their good work "The Earn
and Give" plan was explained to them
with its motto, "a million boys and
girls behind million soldiers" and
it was proposed that the girls of the
school should earn and give $40, which
would mean that the school would
stand behind a soldier. Everybody
who knows about the school knows
that the girls have very few ways to
earn money, but before the represen-
tative left the grounds plans were al
ready under way to earn the money,
and since the message has come that
it has been raised. The girls of the
industrial school are enthusiastically
patriotic and the appeal to do some
thing for their country met with warm
approval. 1t is good standard that.
has been set, and it will put the boys
and girls of the country to their met,
tie to measure up to their standard.
TO all who are placed in so much
better circumstances the challenge is
issued to match their gifts with that
of the State Industrial School. Since
the girls have found that they can do
something patriotic a number have
started thrift stamp books, and are
determined to do what Marion county
and the whole United States recently
did in liberty bonds, Ego clean over
the top" Next time you hear from the
industrial school you will learn that
the girls have heavily overpaid their
pledges.

BE TRUSTED

TEUTON MILITARY CASTE CAN'T
BE TRUSTED
"The president would deem himself
lacking in candor did he not point out
in the frankest possible terms the rea-
son why extraordinary safeguards
must be demanded. Insignificant and
unimportant as the constitutional
changes seem to be which are spoken
of by the German foreign secretary in
his note of the twentieth of October,
it does not appear that the principles
of government responsible to the Ger
man people has yet been fully worked
out or that any guarantees either ex-
ist or are in contemplation that the
alteration of principle and practice
now partially agreed upon will be per-
manent. Moreover, it does not appear
that the heart of the present difficulty
has been reached. 1t may be that
future wars have been brought under
the control Of the German people. but
the present war has not been, and it
is with the present war that we are
dealing. 1t is evident that the Ger,
man people have no means of COM
manding the acquiescence of the mil
itary authorities of the empire in the
popular will; that the power of the
king of Prussia to control the policy
of the empire is unimpaired, that the
determining initiative still remains
with those who have hitherto been the
masters of Germany. Feeling that the
whole peace of the world demands
now only plain speaking and straight
forward action, the president deems it
his duty to say without any attempt
to soften what may seem harsh words,
that the nations of the world do not,
and can not trust the word of those
who have hitherto been the masters
of German policy, and to point out
once more that in concluding peace
and attempting to undo the infinite
injuries and injustices of this war, the
government of the United States can
not deal with any but vertitable rep
resentatives of the German people
who have been assured of genuine
constitutional standing as the real
rulers of Germany. If it must be that
the military masters and the mon
archial autocrats of Germany are to
be dealt with or if the Allies are
likely to have to deal with them later
in regard to the international obliga-
tions of the Germans, our terms must
be indicated as not peace negotiations,
| but surrender.

ances of my high consideration.

The reply of the American govern
ment is as follows:
Department of State, Oct. %.
To Mr.. Frederick Oederlin, Charge
d'Affairs of Switzerland and in
Charge ad interim of German In
terests in the United States:
Dear Sir: / have the honor to ac-
knowledge receipt of your note Of the
22nd, transmitting communication
under date of the twentieth from the
German government, and to advise
you that the president has instructed
me to reply thereto as follows:
"Having received solemn and ex-
plicit assurances of the German gov
ernment that it unreservedly accepts
the terms of peace laid down in his
address to the Congress of the United
States on the eighth of January, 1918,
and the principles of settlement enun>
ciated in his subsequent addresses,
particularly the address of the TWEEN
ty-seventh of September, and that
this wish and purpose emanates not
from those who have hitherto dictated
the policy and conduct of the present
war on Germany's behalf, but from
ministers who speak for the majority
OF the reichstag and for an over
whelming majority of the German
people, and having received also the
exclusive promise of the present Ger
man government that the humane
rules of civilized warfare will be OBJ
served both on land and sea by the
German armed forces, the president
of the United States feels that he can,
not decline to take up with the gov
ernments with which the government
of the United States is associated the
question of an armistice.

Washington, Oct. 24.-No armistice
except under conditions of surrender
and no peace with the kaiser and his
war lords now or later. Thus President

acceded to their request that he take
up with the Allies their plea for an

sinking home in Germany, the allied
governments will be preparing for the
