The meeting Of the Florida State
Automobile Association at Ocala on
Tuesday and Wednesday Of last week,
while not largely attended, was an eX-
Iceedingly interesting meeting and
many important matters discussed
which the association desires to get
before the membership specially and
the people generally. One of these
matters relates 10 the imperfecti0ns
in the present motor vehicle law
which fails to protect our roads from
destruction by improper motor truck
traffic. Already several of our roads
are showing the effect Of improper
use of five ton trucks which Polk cOun-
ty roads were never built to accom-
mOdate. In consideration of a state
license of 500, and in many cases no
personal or other tax, nOn-residents
owing a three to five ton truck Oper-
ate freight carrying a business the
most important part of the equipment
for such business being the paved
right Of way which is furnished and
maintained free of cost to the user.
This is not the case with the railroads
who build their own road, maintain
it, pay state, county and city taxes on
its holdings and for the building and
upkeep of the roads so furnished free
CT cost their competitors. Many ideas
were discussed but finally the whole
matter referred to the legislative com.
mittee with instructions to prepare
an amendment to the present motor
vehicle law.
The local clubs were urged to Cake

The proposed amedment to the con.

five per cent Of the assessed vluation
of the state for the purpose Of meet
ing the federal appropriation for the
building Of highways was very thor
oughly discussed and q resolution
adopted endorsing favorable action at
the election in November There was
very strong sentiment however, to
the effect that such an amendment
would be defeated if the interest and
sinking fund to retire suhc bonds is
to be provided for by direct taxation.
AT the Tuesday morning session
VI. NJ. Smith. the president of the
association and chairman CT the state
road department, stated that he rad

FEDERALIsrs ARE OPTIMISTIC.
Declare carranxa Supported by the
Majority Of Mexican People.

Mexico City.-The development Of
the last two weeks resulting from the
Sonora revolutionary activities show
that the central government is pre-
pairing to encircle the rebellious state
with a steel ring, meanwhile crushing
sporadic outbreaks in other parts of
the republic with strong hand.
A summary of the situation since
the northern state broke with the Car
rama administration has been issued
by the war department officials. The
long list of professions of adhesion to
the Carranza government from vir-
tually every state executive and mil
itary leader, except those who have
openly joined the Sonora revolt, would
seem to indicate that the republic as
whole is solidly supporting the pres.
ent government.

ENROLMENT WITH APPROVAL
OF THE ALLIES.
San Reno Council is Informed That
an Increased Force 10 Necessary
for the Maintenance Of Order
In the interior.

Paris.-Germany has asked the in
terallied conference at San Reno to
increase from 100000 to 100000 men
the standing army provided for Ger
many by the terms of the treaty of
Versailles
The request was contained in n note
handed to the French foreign office
on April 81 with the demand that it
be sent to the supreme council at San
Reno.
The note set forth that an increased
force was necessary for the mainte-
nance of order In the interior and
that, Furthermore, the army would not
accept an order for its dissolution.
The note further requests that Ger
many be allowed to retain the entire
general staff ana corps of officers,
which means the entire framework Of
the active army.
Two other German notes were hand
ed to the foreign office at the same
time. The first referred to the dis
bandment of the civic guards, as de-
manded by the allies. Germany on
April 10 presented this note announc-
ing the decision to disband the guards,
to General NOllet, head of the allied
commission of control in Berlin, and
it already has been made public.
The second note embodies requests
that the reichswehr force in the neu-
trail zone should be fixed according to
the number of men. instead of the
number Of units, and that Germany be
allowed to have eleven batteries Of
artillery instead of two in the neutral
zone.
In French official circles the Ger
man requests are considered as merely
one more move in the systematic de-
Tense against the treaty of Versail'
les. 1t was pointed out that If Ger
many's requests were granted the Ger
man army would differ from the army

San Remo.-The supreme council Is

The council is leaving to President
Wilson the arbitration of the differ

The council awarded mandate for
Mesopotamia and Palestine to- Great
Britain and a mandate for syria to
France.
There seems to he division on the
part of the council as &c whether the
region of Erzerum and its vicinity
should be included in the territory Of
the Armenian republic. The Turkish
nationalists are strongly claiming
Erzerum for themselves.
In placing Palestine under British
mandate the council established with

orally by what is known as the Bal
four declaration. British forces have
been in occupation of Palestine since
the defeat of the Turkish forces by the
British field marshal, Viscount AL
lenby.
The Adriatic question was brought
before the supreme council. The Ital-
Ian premier proposed a settlement that
