'.The Boche is there and there and
there. He'll hear you" And he might
have at that, for the nervy band had
sneaked through the single gap In
the Boche ring. But they had estab.
lfshed contact with Whittlesey.
Got Valuable information.
One Of the Whittlesey command had
just killed Il German officer. He had
found upon him a map of, the whole
neighboring woods, drawn up to the
last minute. 1t revealed the whole
problem that the Americans had been
trying for days to solve in the dark.
Delehanty was the regimental intelli
gence officer. He sent this message
back to the colonel.
"Have information Of great impor-
lance. Shall remain command X
company or return? Am with Whit
tlesey."
And the answer came back:
Return"
So that is why Delehanty happened
not to be with the Whittlesey bat
TALON the next night when they were
cut off for good and when they stayed
cut off for nearly a whole week. But
the map he brought back from that
dead German officer was the map that
enabled the American brigade finally
to smash through to the ravine where
Whittlescy's men were fighting and
dying. Incidentally, 1t was the map
that helped the Americans, too, to
ii go far beyond. 1t was his nerve that
took him through for the last con-
nection With Whittlcsry. 1t was
his appreciation of the Informal
ton he, happened on that sent him
back again over the 'pcrilous trail,
and it was that information that event
ually got Whittlesey out of his death

NO HEAVY INOEMNlT!ES
Germany, However: Must Make
Reparation for Damage Done.
Each Allied Country to Stand Its Own
War Cost, Is Reported Agree
ment Of ENJOYS,

London, Jan. 31.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Evening Standard
says he has reason for reporting that
the peace conference has settled one
important point in regard to the in.
demnity question.
The conference, he declares, has
eliminated any intention of calling up.
on Germany and her associates to pay
the Allied countries the cost of the
war or to impose heavy indemnities
upon enemy nations.
but the minds of the conference"
the correspondent adds, ARE fixed
that there shall be full and ample rep
aration for unjustifiable damage done.
A very sharp distinction is being
drawn between damage which result
ed from legitimate warfare and dam
age which was wanton.'
The correspondent says that Serbia
and Belgium have formulated claims
for raparation in detail. Serbia's bill
is the largest, but as Belgium suffered
first she will receive first considera-
ton.
The idea that Germany should re.
turn the indemnity she took from
France in 1871 has been abandoned,
the Evening Standards correspondent
continues. British claims, he adds,
through the sinking of merchant ships.
In the case of ships, the reparation to
Great Britain will be in kind.

New Duties Since Election.
The victory at the polls was some
thing imposing new series of duties
on the people of Ireland. The cleo
lions represented the power of pub
lie opinion and constituted the mater
ial of Government for Ireland. 1t
was their business, having secured tt
representation of Ireland, to see that
the will of Ireland was carried into
law.
These people were elected, not sole
ly to keep away from Westminster,
but to stay in Ireland and carry out
the will of Ireland. Troubles might &C.
cur in England, and already the vic
tory of Lloyd George and his friends
had been so terrible that they were
frightened of it, and especially as it

that possibly Labor troubles would
begin because Labor would come to
see that in the House of Commons
it had no power, and consequently the
S. F. movement in England might
begin.
President Wilson had found Lloyd
George and the French Premier each
trying ingeniously to make out of GER
tain proposals what they did not mean.
The next subject of contention might
he a difference of principle between
England and America. He concluded
by saying that there was only one
thing for them in Ireland to rely up
on, and that was their own determine

purpose, whether it took months or
years, the liberty OF Ireland was Sc.

$4o,64o, 100000. .

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Ameri-
can governments war expenses show
no sign of decreasing materially, ex-
cept in loans to the Allies, although
nearly three months have passed since
the signing of the armistice.
In January the. Treasury paid out
about s1,6OO,OOO,OO0 for ordinary war
expenses exclusive of Allied loans, or
only $7O,O00OO0 less than in Decem-
Der; S55,O00,000 less than in Novem-
Der and considerable more than in
any month heretofore.
The governments aggregate eX-
penses in the % months of war have
been $26,356 100000, is was calculated.
This includes $7,S75, 100000 loaned to
Allies.
Latest unofficial reports place at
SAC, $40 100000 the cost of more than
four years of war to Great Britain
including s5,553 100000 loaned to her
Allies. From the same British source
also comes the estimate that the war
has cost Germany $3S,750, 100000. Of
which $2,250,OOO was loaned to it's
allies.
Payments Being Made Now.
Officials explained that this was not
to be taken as indication that produc-
ton of war materials is continuing at
the tremendous rate of several months
ago. Manufacturers are now present
ing their bills and receiving payment
for materials delivered long ago, how
ever, and this keeps up expenses.
This liquidation of war contracts to
be given added impetus after passage
of pending legislation, providing for
valuation of informal orders, is ex-
pected to be new source of high
OUTLAWS for the next month or two.
New Loan Essential:
Payments to the Allies fell to about
$3.50, 100000 in January. When these
loans were first instituted the govern
ment contemplated turning over about
$500, 100000 credits to the Allies every
MONTH but actual payments ordinarily
ran around $380,O0O,000 monthly.
The treasury cited figures on the
present government outlay to empha-
size the necessity for another big war
loan OF five or six billion dollars in
April. Current expenses now are paid
largely out of borrowings from banks
and other purchasers of the govern
ment's short term certificates of in
debtedness.

A GARDEN IN wEsT FLoRipA.

AZ the subject of gardens 10 now q

OLD time garden may be OF interest.
As the children are being urged to
help they might like to hear OF what
one family Of children did In the gar
den OF my father, J. Dennis Wolfe, in
helping In the cultivation OF the block
bounded by Strong. Palafox. DeSoto
ana Guillemarde. Every child on the
place was pressed into service on all
occasions. to plant, water. gather. pre-
pare them for market. pick worms and
bugs Off potato and tomato plants.
Oh the Shiny things. How our souls
revolted from the task. Yet all this
had to be done to ensure success. Gar
dening II no easy task. Yet II the
children OF today were put to useful
nome labor. even on a small plot Of
ground much might be done to aessen
the family expenses. To do this. edu-
cation need not be neglected. For well
DO remember our school lessons
were thoroughly kept up and music
lessons practiced with diligence.
Not so much time was spent in
pleasure as now. Yet we had the joy
of occupation and feeling we were
helping father and mother. And we
had pleasures too Of a simple mex
pensive kind.
The colored people said Captain
Wolfe had a cunjured stone as they
called it, that he waved over the vege-
tables. They could account in no other
way for their growth. But the cum
jur stone was hard work by ALL backed
by the well seasoned judgment and
wide information of the head of the
household. And he did on the sandy
soil Of Florida make money. In good
years netting a return on money and
labor invested. If I am not mistake
this was the first market garden in
this vicinity, and vegetables were raised
that people said would not grow here
at all on the soil. Seaweed and fish
helped out the compost heap. Indus
try will help out on most any kind Of
soil. but it cannot be continuous in
garden work, for there is always some-
thing needing attention. But with in

Anyone who thinks that the Pilot has broken

The Pilot stands for honesty in government,
honesty in dealing with investors in this section,
and in checking the flood of graft and waste of
the tax payers money, that has been and is going
on in Bay county. And it is going to keep right
on at this work despite the snarls of those who
seem determined to put an end to development
