MISS ALICE MANER MARTIN

To Miss Alice Maner Martin OF
Jacksonville was accorded the signal
honor Of being elected honorary maid
of honor on Gen. Young's staff. She
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Marshall Martin of this city, and
granddaughter of Col. John Marshall
Martin, a we'll beloved veteran, who
followed the flag through many states
during days of danger, nights of
waking" and is now passing his days
of frightening shadows at his beauti-
full home in Marion county. Her ma
ternal ancestors were statesmen who
served the south with ability and fl
deity, and their names-the Alstons,
Barksdales and Byermans-will al
ways be spoken with pride and re-
membered with gratitude.
Miss Martin is worthy represent
alive of these historic personages,
and will be accorded much social hon.
age from the hosts of visitors assem-
bling within Jacksonville's hospitable
onfines.-Times-U Union.

500 EACH FOR BALL TICKETS

Colonel Ford Rogers, of Detroit,
Mich, who is now spending his win
tiers in Ocala, spent large part of his
younger life in San Francisco, and
while there was member of the San
Francisco City Guards, the "crack"
military company of the city.
In 1863 the Russian squadron, in
command of Admiral Popoff, visited
the United States, and for awhile was
stationed off San Francisco. Mr.. Will
liam c. Little at the time was captain
of the San Francisco Guards, and
largely through his efforts a grand
ball was given to Admiral Popoff and
the officers of his squadron. It
eclipsed anything of the kind ever be-
fore undertaken in the Golden Gate"
city. The tickets were 500 each, so
none but the most elite attended, but
money was plentiful in those days,
and the great hall in which the ball
was given was crowded with men in
glittering uniforms and women in
fashionable toilettes and sparkling
jewels. The decorations were most
elaborate. The San Francisco Chron-
icle of recent date reprints a pic
ture OF the memorable affair, and Col
onel Rogers says that the copy of the
paper takes him back almost to his
boyhood days and causes the most
pleasant "reminiscences to troop be-
fore him, and no doubt to exclaim,
"Oh, to be boy again!"

William Dees-the man who as
saulted his ten year old daughter and
narrowly escaped the hangman's
moose for the crime-yesterday morn

be turned over to the State prison
camps and begin his life sentence.
Dees' sentence was cammuted from
the death penalty to life imprison-
ment Thursday night by the Board of
Pardons. When Dees starts work to-
morrow he will be known by a mum
Der. His name will be forgotten. Yes
terday he was registered and given
convict clothes at Ocala. Just where
he will be put to work has not yet
been decided but because of his afro
cious crime it is likely that the hard

his share. Dees is a strong, well
built man. being a blacksmith by

The friends of John Stockton say
that whatever else he may not be,
that he is an honest man. That,
perhaps, is one of the reasons why
John will not meet Fletcher "face to
face" with those charges. We really
believe If he were to hear Fletcher's
denial of them, if he did not support
him outright for his manly stand that
ne would at least withdraw the charg-
es and apologize to him for having
made them. We do not see how it
would be possible for an honest man"
to do otherwise.

ALL NATIONS RESPECT If THEY
DO NOT LOVE US

One of the finest developments OF
the whole Mexican situation, both OF
the year of watchful waiting and OF
the momentary clash, has been the
consistently friendly attitude of all
the foreign powers. In spite of indi-
vidual differences with this country
over other matters, they have all
showed an even more than reasona-
bly, expected cooperation.
During the year of thumb twiddling
while English, German and French
properties were destroyed, their bus
mess demoralized, losses piling up by
tens of millions and even murder,
their governments have shown a pa
thence that is remarkable. Through
it all they have offered little advice,
much of sympathy and unvarying
moral support.
With the clash came even more
open support. 1t was a German who
told Huerta that if he wanted sup
ply of arms collected for the protec-
ton of foreigners, he must come and
take them" it was another German
who sent marines ashore to protect
Americans at Tampico. 1t was car
go of German arms turned back from
Vera Cruz.
1t was Japan that first declared
neutrality and said its own contro-
versy with the United States could
wait. England and France at once
declared their support and all at once
sanctioned South American media
ton. There has never been a finer
example of international cooperation
in the settlement of an internatioal
problem.
Those who will, may hunt for hid
den and selfish motives. But it has
not been Europe's habit to sit idly
by while the interests and lives of its
people were in jeopardy or destroy
ed. This Iexican tangle has set
new mark, established new princi-
pie and fixed a new precedent in in
ternational affairs.

War Affects Copper Production

With the possible exception Of
the silver industry, the copper in
dustry will probably feel the injur-
GUS effects Of the European war
more seriously than any other Of the
leading American metal industries.
During the last five years approxi-
mately so per cent Of the copper
turned out by American rehnefies
has been exported, in large par. to
the countries now involved in the
European war, according to the
United States Geological Survey
Some Of this copper has been i'm
ported for metallurgicaI treatment
and the imports will probably b.
somewhat restricted on account o
shipping conditions.
During these five years, however
pomestie consumers have taken onll
about 63 to 81 per cent Of the COP
per produced from mines within tn
United States, so Il is evident tha
there must be a material curtailmen
Of production while present condi
tions prevail. Considerable coppe
is Of course consumed in munition
Of war and other military purposes
but the constructive arts Of peac
are far more favorable for the cor
