:'' -to an End :
(Associated Press)
London, July 15. Surprisingly lit
tle attention has 'been given in this
country to the American note on seiz seizures
ures seizures of the mails. When published in
America only brief and rather exag exaggerated
gerated exaggerated summaries wera sent by the
British correspondents. The note was
published in full only by the Times on
the nineteenth of June, several days
after the American papers which
printed it had arrived in England. On
Saturday the foreign office issued the
text as fan official paper for publica
tion on Tuesday, June 27th.
Almost the only important editorial
reference to the note is made by the
Economist in a late issue: It points
out that "owing to lack of informa
tion the public in this country has
failed to understand the constant ref
erences by President Wilson and by
eadmg newspapers in the United
States to the question of 'Freedom of
the "seas."'
After noting a large part of the
note the Economist says:
"It will be seen that a good deal
of feeling has been evinced, and that
great care and discrimination are re
quired in order not only to meet the
susceptibilities of friendly neutrals,
but also to avoid the establishment of
precedents which, under different cir circumstances,
cumstances, circumstances, we should not tolerate
ourselves as neutrals in a future naval
war. Supposing, for example, there
were a war between Spain and Sweden
and the beligerents claimed the right
to intercept mails between London and
Paris or London and New York, and
to open all private letters, would that
pass?' The summing-up of the note
is very strong. It declares that the
rights of neutrals are as sacred as the
rights of belligerents, and must be
as strictly observed,- and concludes
'Only a radical change in the present
British and French policy, restoring
to the United States its full rights as
a neutral power, will satisfy this gov government.'

SEABOARD PEOPLE
AT THE SPRINGS
Over Six Hundred Employes of the
Florida Division Enjoying Them Themselves
selves Themselves at that Pleasant
f Spot Today
Proof that Silver Springs is one of
the most pleasant places in Florida
can be obtained from any of the near nearly
ly nearly seven hundred employes of the
Florida division of the Seaboard Air
Line who picnicked at that picturesque
location today.
It had been the intention of these
people to have a picnic at the Springs
on the fourth of July, but as it seem seemed
ed seemed like the government was going to
demand all the spare cars to haul
troops in on that date, it had to be
postponed.
The postponement discouraged a
number of people and it began to look
like there would not be any picnic, but
the committee in charge, Messrs. W.
W. Stanton of Jacksonville, J. L. Win Winter
ter Winter of Waldo and E. Y. Graves of
Tampa, are an indomitable bunch, and
with the cheerful co-operation of Sup
erintendent Parsons, succeeded in get getting
ting getting out a good crowd and having a
most pleasant and successful' outing;
Mr. Stanton, with Mr. Smith, a re
nowned barbecuist of Jacksonville,
and other assistants, and a carload
of supplies, arrived at the Springs
yesterday afternoon, and began 1 to
make arrangements. They put on a
huge barbecue in the grove a couple
of hundred yards north of the Springs,
and made all other needful prepara
tions..- ".:
Shortly before noon today two long
trains pulled in, one from Jackson Jacksonville
ville Jacksonville and the other from Tampa,
bringing people from all along the
line. There t were not so many as
there would have been on the fourth,
but the attendance was large, 655 al
together. v t
The visitors took immediate posses
sion of the grounds, docks, springs
and boats, including the two big
yachts and a dozen launches, which
carried large parties several miles
down Silver river. Scores were good
swimmers, and they availed them
selves to the full of the fine new bath
house and its facilities.""
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Carmichael and
a number of their .friends interested
themselves in the picnic and helping
the visitors to have a good time, and,
as we all know, nobody knows how
any better. V V
Mr. Stanton, who was tne main
squeeze, was busy looking after the
dinner, and when, about 1 o'clock, he
marshaled the host to the feast in the
gr6ve everybody was sorry he wasn't
running for governor, for they surely
would have given him a solid vote.
The dinner was excellent in quality
and bounteous in quantity, enough not
only for the railroad people, but many
visitors from Ocala and elsewhere
who were most hospitably made wel
come.
The Seaboard folks are certainly a
good-looking bunch, ladies, gentlemen
and many pretty girls, from all the

far down at Venice.

Notice was served this morning by
Richard McConathy and II. M. Hamp
ton, as solicitors, that an injunction to

restrain the city from making pay payment
ment payment to Benjamin Thompson, contrac
tor for the new light and water plant
now under construction, would be ap applied
plied applied for on June 20 before 'Judge
Bullock. A bill of complaint, making
charges of misappropriation and mis
application of bond moneys, was at
the same time filed with P. H. Nugent,
clerk of the circuit court. The com
plainants are: A. A. Vandenbrock, E.
T. Spencer, Bertha L. Hogan and J.
D. Small. ;
The bill of complaint charges that
there is a great need for the exten
sion of water mains to North Ocala.
It charges that the ordinance provid
ing for the $100,000 bond issue in
1911, of which $100,000 there is $55,-
000 yet available, did not authorize
the purchase of the old plant by the'
city and the construction of the new,
but only authorized the equipping of;
the old plant, if purchased. It isi
charged, further, that the people of
Ocala did not vote for anything but
for the buying of the old plant and j
the repairing of the same. The $75,-j
000 bond issue, it is charged, was
simply for the purpose of erecting

if the bond moneys are misappro
priated and misapplied. The bill, also,
makes the point that there is a con contract
tract contract with the R. D. Coles Manufac Manufacturing
turing Manufacturing company of Newnan, Ga., for
the construction of the water tower,
and that this company is not joined as
defendant, because payments to the
company are not to be made for some
time yet, and because it is impossible
to get a personal service on the cor
poration, which has no agent in this
state. -'
Another injunction asked for was
not altogether unexpected, although
there was a growing belief that there
would be no further effort to hold up
the work on the new plant. The city
had already lost heavily bydelay. The
new application for an injunction
comes with a large part of the foun
dations of the light and water plant
completed. v
Subpoenas will be served on all of
the defendants mentioned in the bill
of complaint filed this morning; every
member of the present council, Mayor
Robertson, Benjamin Thompson, H. C.
Sistrunk, city clerk, and W. W. Clyatt,
city treasurer.
The bill prays that the city be en
joined and restrained irom paying

from a sale of the water works bonds,
or. the electric light bonds. A tem temporary

about 11 o'clock. When seen he had

about ,two years ago by the president
who therefore was thoroughly ac acquainted
quainted acquainted with his qualifications. The
new justice, John Hessin Clarke, was
born at Lisbon, Ohio, September 18,
1857, graduated at Western Reserve
University in 1877, and was admitted
to the Ohio bar in 1878. k Up to the
time of his appointment as district
judge in 1914 he practiced law in the
courts of Ohio. He is a bachelor. He
has been a life-long democrat and ran
against Mark-Hanna for the Senate in
1903.
Tom Watson, in his Jeffersonian,
announcea that Mrs. Ion L. Farris is
a Catholic and .was married to Mr.
Farris, by a priest in a .Catholic
church. It is well known to most of
our people that both Mr.- and Mrs.
Farris arc Methodists. Tom Watson's
worshipers might ask themselves how
many more of their little tin god's
setatements are untrue. If they were
all investigated, it is more than likely
that most of them are partly or en entirely
tirely entirely false, for a .man that will lie
about one thing is likely to" lie about
another.

POETS AS PUNSTERS.
Even Shakespeare' and Milton Broke
Into Thi Form of Humor.
Shakespeare was an inveterate pun
ster, and Dr. Johnson in his preface to
an edition to the poet's works deplores
his habit of punning on serious occa
sions. Hamlet la made to pun when
he asks the gravedigger:
"Whose grave's this?"
"Mine, sir," answers the clown.
Hamlet replies:
"I think it be thine Indeed, for thou
llest In't," and adds later, "Thou dost
lie in't to be In't and say it Is thine."
To King Richard's question. "What
comfort, man? How Is't with ancient
Gaunt?" Shakespeare makes Gaunt re
ply: "Old Gaunt Indeed and gaunt in
being old. Within me grief has kept a
tedious fast. And who abstains from
meat that Is not gaunt?"
Milton is the last poet one. would
think to be guilty of punning, and' yet
he once wrote a punning epitaph upon
a carrier who plied between Cambridge
and London and who died after losing
his trade on account of the. plague.
This carrier was the' Hobson whose
choice" is so famous. He used to hire
out horses, but travelers had to take
the horse illobson offered or none, so
that "Hobson's choice" came to mean
no choice at alL
The whole poem, written on the death
of this carrier, is full of puns. One pas passage
sage passage runs:
Rest that gives all'men life save him his
death,
And too much breathing put hire out of
breath; A
Nor were it contradiction to affirm 1
Too long vacation, hastened on his term.
Cowper made a pun which has be
come quite famous. In the poem de
scribing the ride of John Gilpin, who
had to go where his horse took him
and eventually arrived at the house of
a friend from whom the horse had
been borrowed, Gilpin says:
I came because your horse would come.
And if I well forbode,
My hat and wig will soon be here.
They are upon the road.
vTom Hood's humorous poetry Is full
or puns. In "The Lady's ( Dream" he
writes: .''. '.'
They talked together like two egotists
In conversation all made up of eyes.
And in "The Mermaid of Margate" he
says: -. -. i
On Margate beach, where the sick one
roams
And the sentimental reads,
Where the -maiden flirts and the widow
" comes
' Like the ocean to cast her weeds.
4 But examples could be multiplied In
definitely. Hood's best known pun
reads: -!:- r ; '-.
His death, which happened In-his berth.
At forty odd befell.

ALLIGATOR TRIED TO
CALL ON THE EDITOR
A three-foot alligator, or, as Mrs.
Malaprop would say, a three-foot
aligory, blew into the Star ; office
shortly after noon today. An alli
gator can blow into a place, can't it?
When first seen the reptile was mak making
ing making its way up the stairs to the edi-
torial rooms. It was discovered by
c. E. Harris on his return from dirf
ner. Mr. Harris was perfectly sober,
tl0Om. The staff can vouch for that
fact. :
Where the alligator came from has
not yet been learned. A fish in a
iine, tangled it in a gun, pulled the
trigger thereof, and shot a fisherman,
Possibly all the fish in the waters,
and all the beasts of the forest, and
an the reptiles, have decided to nro-
test against the destruction of their
species; and the said alligator : prob-
abiv thought a newsDaner office
g0od place for allegations.
Mr. Harris turned the 'gator over
to two small boys, who after some
HiffiHv romoi) him nff
The editor was out of the office at
the time, and is glad of it. He hasn't
a drink in six weeks, and if that
'gator had walked in on him he would
not have known what was the matter
with him.

FINANCIAL COLLAPSE
OF GERMANY IS NEAR
Berne, July 15. The "Bund" pub
lishes an article written by one of the
foremost bankers of Switzerland ir
which the financial collaDse of Ger
many is predicted. "The German
methods of financing the war have
been unsound from the start," this
expert says. "When the conflict be
gan the Germans did not believe that
I it would last longer than a year, and
they hoped that one or two popular
loans and an inflation of the currency
would furnish all necessary funds. But
they have already been compelled to
raise four loans and the fifth one is
under way. They may be able to fil
j their war chest once more, but the
new credit of $2,000,000,000 voted by
J the Reichstag will only reach till Jan
uary -or February of next year," be
j cause a large part of the money has to
be used to pay the interest on the
former loans. A sixth loan cannot be
raised and a further inflation of the
currency is impossible. Before next
spring Germany must break down fi
nancially and then the war will end.
if it is not decided before by a decisive
victory for the Allies,."

It is a great risk to travel without
a bottle o? Chamberlain's Colic, Choi-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, as this
preparation cannot be obtained on the
trains or steamships. Attacks ofJ4

very severe, and everyone should go
prepared for them. Obtainable every-
where. Adr.
