AMERICANS FIGHTING
FOR THE ALLIES
Hundreds of Them Are to be Found
in the Canadian Regiments
in France
ASSOCIATED Press)

British Headquarters, France, July,
11-American citizens have seen hot
ter fighting in the last two weeks
than any American since the Apo
matox campaign. They have endur-
ed as heavy shell fire as the German
guns ever directed at the British
front and know what it was to
charge into the German trenches with
bayonet and bomb in pouring rain
through the mud in the small hours of
the morning.
There are more Americans scatter
ed among the Canadian battalions
than most people realize Some Of
these were living in Canada when the
war began; some crossed the border
an5 enlisted for the sake of being in
a scrap; some felt it duty to strike
a blow for the Allies.
If man took the oath and put on
"a uniform Canadian recruiting of
fcer did not ordinarily bother, if he
were a sound man, which side of the
border he came from. Besides, the
recruit sometimes had a bad memory
on that score himself "What part
of Canada are you from" a British
officer asked a Canadian private.
"Out West, sir"
What part of the west?"
seThe far west, sir"
What part | asked. Haven't you
learned yet to give definite answer
to an officers question ?"
Spokane, sir"
"Where is that, in Manitoba?"
'In that neighborhood, SIR
After man has been wounded the
truth is more likely to come out. At
ter an examination of bad jaw fac
ture the surgeon said to one wounded
American:
you've bad smash, but we shall
pull through and fix you up as good
as new"
"Are you giving it to me straight ?0
was the feeble question.
eyes you can depend on il"
"Well, if that's the dope and no kid
ding, wish you would write to my
mother out in Ohio and tell her."
Those who were looking for a scrap
frankly admit they have had it. No
one questions how they stood up to It
along with their Canadian comrades.
Nor are they all privates. Three of
fcers who were killed in the retaking
of Observatory Hill were Americans.

FLORIDA SOLDIERS
ARE HIKING TODAY
(Iaoksonv;lla Metronol;c

Jacksonville Metropolis, 16th)
Tomorrow morning the First and
Third battalions of the Second Regi-
ment, encamped at Black Point, will
swing down the brick pike on the
daily hike. The battalions will be
commanded by Colonel Blanding and
Major Sass, and they are expected to
cover about six miles in all during the
day, as the men are being toughened
slowly and the officers are giving
them slightly extended marches daily,
starting with only a few miles and
increasing until, eventually, fifteen
miles is done in one day in heavy
marching order.
Additional equipment, consisting
mainly of shoes and clothing; has been
ordered, and until this arrives the
regiment will be in no condition to
move to the border. Most of the men,
however, have been fitted out, though
some of them who need odd size shoes
or clothing are yet poorly equipped.
Blanks for the discharge of the men
rejected at the last physical examina-
tion have not arrived, and these men
remain in camp, taking the regular
duties imposed on those who succeed
ed in passing the tests.
Only two men with dependent fami-
lies have so far requested discharge
under the recent announcement of the
war department. Such discharges will
go through the regular channels,
finally reaching the war department
for ratification before they are issued.

OKLAWAHA VALLEY
RAILROAD EXTENSION
Road May Build by Eustis and Null
berry to the Gulf

.'The Ocklawaha Valley railroad
proposes building an extension which
may come through Mount Dora" says
the Mount Dora Topic. 4.The road is
now in operation between Palatka and
Ocala, and the line which the COM
pany now proposes to build will run
from Ocala to Boca Grande on the
gulf about eighty miles south of
Tampa" The road as proposed would
connect with the Tampa Northern.
The route being considered runs thru
Umatilla, Eustis, Mount Dora, Tan
gerine and Lake Gem. The Topic
says that stock is now being offered
in the road and adds that the extern
sion thus suggested would be of great
advantage to all sections crossed and
property values considerably increas-
ed. Mount Dora folks are particularly
interested and the matter is being
discussed seriously in that city and
places nearby-Times- Union Short
Talks.
The Star has heard good deal
about this proposed extension, but has
refrained from commenting on it, as
it has not heard of any deienite plans
being decided on. We understand that
if the extension is made, the Okla
waha Valley road, true to its name.
will probably follow the river up to
Eustis, and from there go on south
until it connects with the C. Fl. & N.
at Mulberry, thus making central
trunk line thru Florida.

SUB MAY ARM AT SEA

Washington, July 11.-French and
British officials claim the submarine
cannot be stopped and searched in ac-
cordance with international law and
therefore must be regarded as war
ship and subject to destruction on
sight. The British are laying ground
for claims later for possible damages
to British commerce. The Germans
have made the claim that it is legal
for the vessel to take on armament
outside the three-mile limit and prey
on commerce. British, French and
United States officials say this is il
legal.
