DALLAS

Dallas is quite a lively little place
now. The agent, Mr.. A. E. Wilson,
is wearing smiling face over the
thought of all the express money he
will get during this month.
Mr.. Irvine Billups, one of our pro-
gressive farmers, is loading the first
car of fine watermelons that is to
leave Dallas today. And Mr.. Ander-
son, another farmer, is to load Thurs
day, so we hear.
Dallas goes dead in the summer,
but in spring she hvens up again.

as today sporting guns are feeble
weapons indeed compared with mill
tary rifles. A still more vital factor
was that nearly all the Americans
were good marksmen, while major
ity of our citizens today can't hit

and probably not one in ten thousand

it, or even effectively pull the trigger
If we had to fight at Bunker Hill to-
day, it is probable that the British
would massacre the "embattled farm

losing a man.

A hundred years ago today was
fought the battle of Waterloo, which
Hugo called ga change in front of
the universe" 1t isn't likely that the
universe noticed it, however, and as
for this particular planet it has been
busy for a century in undoing what
was done at Waterloo, which was a
great battle in results, if not in the
numbers engaged. The French had
about $4,000 men in the battle. AT
the beginning, the "allies" had less
than $4,000, of which $4,000 were
British. The dogged tenacity of the
British, and French ignorance of the
battlefield, which caused them tc
head>a cavalry charge into wide
trench made by sunken road, kept
the battle on even terms until sun
down, when the Prussians under
Blucher, 10000 strong, came up. The
weight of these fresh troops decided
the battle, and the French retreat
became rout.

The day was not marFed by single
unpleasant occurrence. The cold drink
and ice cream stand was kept busy
all day. A large quantity of cold
drinks was sold on the train and
from appearances it was a "hard
drinking crowd" A porter passing
thru the car said Everybody living
in Ocala sho' has plenty of money"
and several passengers said they
wished they lived in Ocala.
AS for the return trip, well anyone
with nerves and weak ear drums

Them A "noise" band was organized
and led by some pretty girls, paraded
through the train from the engine to
the baggage car and back the entire
trip. AS they would enter each coach
the occupants would urge them to go
to the next coach, which they did, but
leisurely. While the biggest "cop'
was in the party, he said he was pow

was unloaded in Ocala amidst deaf

In connection with the article pub

tanning an extract from the Army
and Navy Journal, praising the good
work of Col. A. H. -Blanding, in the
recent correspondence course which
is prescribed for National Guard Off
GERS of Florida, it might be of inter
est to the people of Ocala to know
that we have two officers in ocala
that top the list of all the officers in
the state in the above courses.
While Col. Blanding was the only
officer who made 7596 or better in all
of the subjects, both Capt. Weihe and
Lieut. Campbell made over Is % in all
the subjects except one, both making
70%o on this one, and Col. Blanding
making 759o on this subject was not
far ahead.
Although both officers made 70%
on this one subject, it was not
counted, as nothing below 1870 is
credited.

points, making 1000 in five subjects

Capt. Weihe comes next with al

The Star regrets to report that Sec
retary Rooney is on the sick list. Mr.
Rooney sustained an injury in the
Spanish-American war during which
he served on one of the American war
ships at Santiago. It was not efficl-
emily treated at the time, and every
once in a while, after long railroad
or auto ride, causes him trouble
again.

No wonder Mr.. Bryan is so much
against preparedness. Mr.. Bryan
lives in Nebraska, about the middle
of the country, and invaders would
have to march from one to two thou
sand miles before they could trample
on his sacred property. But hundreds
of thousands of Americans, not as IL
lustrious, but more useful than Mr..
Bryan, would be dead before the
back-drive began.

A hundred years ago yesterday was
fought the battle of Breeds Hill
commonly called Bunker HilD in
which American militia repulsed two
attacks of British regulars and only
retreated when their ammunition
gave out. 1t was practically vic
tory for the Americans, but may
cost US heavily, as it has gone far to
foster the fool idea of the American
people that they do not need to pre-
pare against foreign invasion. The
"embattled farmers" who stood up to
trained troops on that notable day
had a very different status as COM
pared with regular soldiers from
that which would exist today. For
one thing, many of the Americans
had served in the French and Indian
wars and were veterans, as hundred:
of thousands of our citizens woule
have been in 1880. For another their
guns were as good, or better, thar
those of the British, for the sporting
rife Of that day would send ball al
most as far, and much more accu
ratelv than an army musket; where

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

J. D. Rooney, Secretary Marion Coun-
ty Board of Trade. :
Dear Mr.. Rooney: You have pro-
posed the erection of arches over the
Dixie Highway and Paradise Loop at
their entrance into and exit from
Ocala.
This is most commendable.
1t is our understanding that you
have in mind arches that would be
attractive, permanent, and electric
lighted by night; and to erect these
arches, we understand, you wish to
make a public subscription.
We hereby subscribe SO, subject to
the following conditions, which we
think are proper and reasonable:
That they be of artistic and ap-
propriate design;
That the design be chosen in oper
competition by a committee appoint.
ed by the Marion County Board OF
Trade;
That bonus be given for the ac
cepted design;
That there be no advertising on th'
arches.
The arches should, we think, b'
either of concrete or of metal.

Would End War
By Resolution
OU. S. Congress

To end rne European war by Joint
resolution OF the United States con-
gress. is the plan OF Roderick H.
Smith. delegate from Buffalo to the
Worlds Court congress, In Cleve-
land. Mr. Smith, who was In De-
troit, Wednesday, explained the de-
tails OF his plan. which he says has
the Endorsement OF many of the
worlds foremost thinkers and peace
advocates.
Every nation said Mr.. Smith
lis most Jealous In defence OF its
rights. England, France. Germany
Russia-all the warning powers are
fighting for their rights But no
one as yet has attempted to define
just what constitute the rights of
nations.
II have prepared a resolution to
be submitted to the house and SEN
ate of the United States which does
just this. Once let II be passed,
and within short time war will be
abolished.
With the rights OF nations once
defined the definition Is to be SUBJ
mitted for ratification by other
powers. The greater number will
agree upon what constitute their
rights. and, all being in agreement,
there will be nothing to fight about.
The next step will be the formation
of world court. supported by an
international army and navy, which
shall be the supreme authority and
which shall outlaw any nation
which refuses to keep the peace"
Bef@a- TIE wSr, Mr.. Smith de-
clares, he submitted the details Of
this plan to more than 40 nations,
all OF which, with the exceptions OF
Germany and Austria, approved it..
Even they. he said. would now
be almost forced to accept, for the
plan Is so rational that the peace
loving common people would rise in
rebellion IL their governments re-
jected it,"
Mr.. Smith has laid his plan be-
fore President Wilson, and hopes to
find support for il in the next con-
gress.
"The idea OF a worlds court,
admit, is not new" he said. but
am the first to have prepared the
practical legislative means for
bringing Il about"
