BERLIN CLAIMS ALL
THE BATTLES
SOLDIERS OF THE TEUTONIC
ALLIANCE VICTORIOUS ON
BOTH LAND AND SEA
ASSOCIATED Press)

The third Christmas of the Euro
pean war passed without much fight
ing on the British and French fronts,
where virtually only the artillery was
active and the men were feasted and
entertained as far as was compat-
ible with the sterner business of war.
Rumania's first Christmas as par
ticipant in the war witnessed heavy
fighting on the Rumanian front.
Ground was yielded by the Ruman-
ians at some points under the pres
sure of the Germans and north of the
Buzeu-Rimnik road a height was lost
by the Russians.
In the northwest corner of Dob
rudja province, the sector to which
the Russo-Rumanian retreat has TAX
en- them, the army of Field Marshal
Won MacKenzen has begun to attack
the bridgehead of Matchin, after Isa-
kishe, on the eastern bank of the
Danube, was captured. In addition to
announcing the evacuation of Isa-
kishe, the Russians admit the occu-
patton of Tultcha.
British moutned troops with the CO.
operation of aircraft carried strong
position at Maghdaba, twenty miles
distant from Ell Arish, which was cap
tured on Thursday. In complete re-
ports, says the statement from Lon
don, show that 1,13O prisoners were
captred and a large quantity of arms
and war material taken. Heavy cas-
ualties were suffered by the Turks.
The Russians claim to have inflicted
heavy losses on the Austro- Germans
when the latter attempted to recap
tare heights occupied by the Russians
on Sunday in the wooded Carpathians.
ROUNDED UP MORE RUMANIANS
Berlin, Dec. 36.-The Teutonic al
lies have taken five thousand, five
hundred more prisoners in Rumania
the war office has announced.
RUSSIAN POSITIONS TAKEN
Filipechti on the railroad between
Buzeu and Bralia was captured in a
bayonet charge this morning. Strong
Russian positions on both sides of the
village were stormed.
ALLIES DEFEATED IN A NAVAL
ENGAGEMENT
Berlin, Dec. 26.-Two allied patrol
boats were sunk and four other allied
warships were damaged in a recent
naval engagement in the Otranto
Strait, the Austrian admiralty an
nounced today Two Austrian de-
stroyers were hit, one man being

A NARROW ESCAPE

Mr.. F. w. Webber, who was the
victim of an accident that came near
being fatal several days ago, is now
doing nicely.
He was working around the cold
storage plant on Thursday afternoon
when his clothes caught in a revolv-
ing shaft. Only his presence of mind
in grasping a belt and allowing the
machinery to tear his clothing from
his body saved his life. He lost two
fingers and was otherwise badly
bruised about the body. His recovery
was for a time doubtful, but a report
from him today indicates that he will
pull through all right, much to the
qualification of his friends and neigh
bors.

RUSHING TO
THE RESCUE
City of Savannah and Acushnet on the
Way to Succor Sinking
Steamer
ASSOCIATED Press)

New York, Dec. 26.-The steamer
City of Savannah and the coast guard
cutter Acushnet are hurrying to the
assistance of the steamer Maryland,
which this morning wirelessed she
was sinking 300 miles east of Sandy
Hook. The City of Savannah is ex-
pected to reach the Maryland shortly
after noon. The Maryland is believ-
ed to be an American freighter which
left Philadelphia Saturday for Lon
don.

soon take the place of what has been
rather dirty little swamp. Swamps
are all right as long as they are let
alone, but when people interfere with
them, they have to be cleaned ND or
they will be ugly. There is no middle
course.
To the northeast of the railroad
station ,and rising at considerable
elevation above the river, is a rocky
knoll-a very unusual formation for
this part of the country. 1t is sur
rounded by some magnificent trees,
and is an ideal place for a tourist
hotel-or for that matter a hotel
where our own people could find COM
fort and pleasure the year round.
A short distance further east is a
stretch of ground particularly well
adapted for golf links-an attraction
that no tourist resort is complete
without these days.
Nature has here laid out with a
master hand the location for the
greatest and most satisfactory inland
tourist resort in Florida, and how
much it would be worth to Ocala and
Marion county none of us can over
estimate.
Mr.. Carmichael won't build the
hotel just yet, but he does like to look
over the magnificent ground and ex-
plain it to an appreciative friend
and why we should not all be his ap-
preciative friends on this line is
something difficult to understand.
But while he thinks and talks OF
what should be and may be, Ed
works at what is and can be. As we
all know, he has little help and con-
siderable hindrance in carrying out
his plans, but he has fought onward
and gone considerable way toward
making Silver Springs river port
and pleasure park for Ocala.
Last year, Mr. Carmichael had the
low ground on this side of the spring
cleared and filled, making quite a
nice park. Then he put up neat
and roomy building with many dress
ing rooms for the accommodation Of
people who wanted to bathe, and had
it ready for them at the beginning of
the season. 1t took greatly, and al
most every summer afternoon and
evening, there were from scores to
hundreds of people either in swim
ming or watching the swimmers. 1t
was then that Ocala really discovered
Silver Springs.
This last season was a great sue
cess, and Mr.. Carmichael is going to
make the next one more so. He has
cleared away the old pavilion at the
waters edge, and built further back
from the shore new one of two
stories. The upper story is dane
ing floor, and he will be glad to see
it filled every weekday evening next
summer.
He is now having the old freight
warehouse removed, and when that is
done, the shore will be clear Of all the
shabby structures that have partly
obscured it. He has an adequate cleo
tric plant, and in a short time the
shores and waters of the springs viii
be illuminated by this best of lights.
In the meantime, he has been pre-
pairing for the tourist business, of
which he has good promise for this
season. That swift and elegant little
beat, the "City of Ocala," has been
overhauled, and will leave on her first
trip for Palatka Monday, Jan. 8. She
has a good passenger list booked, and
viii make three round trips week.
The bigger, newer boat, the Silver
Springs, is being greatly improved.
