Ocala Banner. NOW UP TO BELCHER AND SAXON PERRY GETS ON NORTH END GAINESVILLE GETSNEXT SESSION Orlando on Dixie Highway as Well as Proposed Lee and Jackson Highway 600 New Members The second quarterly meeting of the Central Florida Highway Association was held at Lakeland yester day. There were about 2,000 at the meeting, although only one-half were members. During the day 600 members paying $2 apiece joined the association, making a total of 1,000 actual members in the association. From a babe at Kissimmee four months ago grown to manhood at Orlando June 10, and matured at Lakeland yesterday, the rapid progress of the association is readily realized.

Lakeland did herself proud in playing host to the visitors who came from all sections of Central Florida. Taylor county was represented by 25 automobiles, or a total of 100 persons, who drove 300 miles to get the association to recommend that the northern branch of the highway be designated to run from- Gainesville" north through Perry to Tallahassee. In addition to the endorsement of this proposition the association endorsed the southern end of the route to run from Arcadia east to Fort Myers, to Marco and thence to Miami. The other segment of the highway, from Gainesville south through Orlando to Arcadia was unchanged. With the exception of the northern recommendation the western branch of the Dixie highway remains the same as adopted at Orlando June 10.

The recommendation of the association will be transmitted to Commissioners Belcher and Saxon and they in turn will recommend to the Dixie Highway Commission that the route as endorsed yesterday be permanently adopted as the official Western Florida branch of the Dixie highway. In addition to the above action the association went on record as favoring the Lee and Jackson highway, which will run from Washington, D. to Tampa. This route will pass through Orlando. Consequently Orlando lies directly on one sure highway and one proposed highway.

On the Lee and Jackson highway Winter Park will also find a place. Tributary highways came up for a discussion. It was decided that tributaries to the main Dixie highway would be officially designated when their construction was fully pledged. Without a struggle or a dissenting voice Gainesville was selected as the next meeting place. The meeting will be held the first week in December.

The association ratified the selection of four men for the Highway Commission, and requested Gov. Trammell to appoint same. M. M. Smith, of Orlando, is one of the men slated for this office.

Various reports were given by the committees. W. C. Temple, of Winter Park, who was at the meeting delivered a speech. Mr.

Temple is president of the South Florida Chamber of Commerce which met at Lakeland yesterday, and was influential in designating Orlando as the next meeting place of that organization. Purchase school books and supplies from Curtis O'Neal, Orange avenue. Established 30 years. THE II. S.

WILL NOT ACT HASTILY Before Lusitania Will Be Discussed Arabic Sinking Must Be Cleared Up Fully Washington, Sept. 9. The note of Germany on the sinking of the Arabic explaining that the commander of the submarine thought that the vessel was going to ram him and he sank it in self defense, was received today by the state department. As the question as to whether the Arabic resisted the submarine is something that can be established only by evidence, the state department is now obliged to ascertain the circumstances for itself. Therefore it will be some time be-fore the case can be settled, and incidentally the United States advised Germany that it would not take up the case of the Lusitania again until the Arabic incident has been cleared in a manner satisfactory to the United States.

In the note received today, Germany expresses her regret again for the loss of American lives and offers to give compensation after arbitration of the amount due. Neither Secretary Lansing nor any officials would discuss the effect of the defense set up by Germany. SCHOONER CURACAO. CREW OF TEN, MEN LOST Mobile, Ala.
