WILL BE IN THE
NEXT WAR
America, Says President Wilson, viii
Find it Impossible to Keep Out
of 1t
(Associated Press)

Cincinnati, Oct. 27.-ln discussing
the relations of the United States to
the European war, in an address
here yesterday President Wilson de-
clared that this was the last war that
involves the the world that the United
States can keep out of. He gave as
his reasons for this, his belief that the
business of neutrality is over and that
the war now has such scale that the
positions of neutrals, sooner or later,
becomes into1erable. He added that
the nations of the world must get to-
gether and say that nobody can pre-
fer to be neutral as respects the dis
turbance of the worlds peace for an
object, which the worlds opinion can
not sanction.
After denying the Republican claim
that the business prosperity of the
United States the past two years had
been due to the war, the president
ridiculed the predictions that after
the war Europe would overwhelm the
United States by its economic
strength. and dump on the United
States goods which are now being
stored for that purpose.

BATTLES WILL Be
BETWEEN BOYS
Older Men in the Great European
Armies are Rapidly Being
Trimmed Out
(Associated Press)

London, Oct. 27.-The war threat
ems soon to become struggle between
mere boys. The pace is said to be en-
tirely too fast for the older men long
to endure.
It is declared here that next year
the Entente Allies will be facing boys
of II in the German army.
General Sir Douglas Haig, COM
manding the British expeditionary
forces, is said to have objected to the
sending out of men of middle age. He
wants young men of from Is to 25.
After the latter year it is said the
fighting value of the human unit
shows rapid ana steady decline.
The good soldier of today it seems
must be of the age which excels in the
most strenuous athletic games-the
football player type. The older men
have their place, but generally speak
ing it is said now to be in "the army
behind the army"-the men back of
the line, in the supply and transport
divisions where the strain is not so
great. These older men are too sus-
ceptible to trench diseases to be Of
great value on the firing line.
England already is registering boys
born in 1899 preparatory to calling
them UP when they attain their eight
eenth year.

FLORIDA BOYS ON
THE FRONTIER
plant City Courier)

Camp Florida, Laredo, Texas, Oct.
|19.-Under command of Colonel Al
bert II. B1anding, of the Second Flor
ida Infantry, who is serving as COM
mander of the Third Brigade in the
absence of Colonel Slocum, the Bri-
gade left this morning at seven-thir-
ty o'clock for a practice march of
twelve miles through cactus fields,
mesquite brush, alkali dust and Rio
Grande mud, combination which
would be hard to beat in testing the
staying qualities and marching effic-
iency of a body of troops. The Bri-
gade is composed of the Second
Florida infantry, the Second New
Hampshire infantry, with the Ninth
U. S. infantry attached.
The march will be somewhere out
on the border" assuming the line of
march followed in active campaign,
with full Brigade complement, includ-
ing convoy and wagon train for
each regiment. Although the march
is for practice and instruction, each
battalion wagon carries a case (12,-
900 rounds) of ball cartridge rife am
munition, conveniently placed on the
wagon for quick access and distribu-
ton in case an emergency should
arise, such as an attack from mar
auding band or the troops being fir
ed upon by snipers or detachment
of Mexican bandits. 1t is not con-
templated that it will be necessary to
bring the ammunition into use, but
the lesson of preparedness has been
learned long since here in this uncer-
tain and treacherous country, and on
all occasions of body of troops go
ing. any distance from the camp a
plentiful supply of ammunition is car
ried along. In the absence of any
special maneuvers or combat problems
the Brigade should return to camp by
noon, as the march of twelve miles is
considered but short one.
The Second Florida regiment, with
its gruelling and detailed training al
Black Point, does a little more than
.stack up well" with the other regi-
raents of guard here, and is practi-
Ically conceded to be the best regi-
nlent along this stretch Of the border
country. 1t is the largest regiment
ever stationed here, and in its drill
and efficiency it leads the others as
| it does IN fighting it leads the others

Shady, Oct. 26.-Jack Frost was
abroad Saturday night, nipping the
ears off all who were out when honest
people should have been in bed,
blighting young truck and when this
writer arose Sunday morning we did
wish the cook had some good fresh
sausage for breakfast.
One thing we hope Jack Frost kill
ed is these little pesky malarial
germs that are causing chills and
fever, sore eyes and laziness in our
midst. Here's hoping after this we
can keep step as lively to the frosty
feeling in the air as to the most en-
chanting dance music. We are need
ing rain badly and tho all the good
old signs have failed lately we are
trusting the change in the moon to-
day and believing we are to have Q
young flood. Here's hoping.
Shady has lost one of her prettiest
girls since Miss Bonnie Purvis left
us Monday to stay in Ocala with hel
aunt and be nearer school.
Mr.. Dewey Albertson was over
from DeLand last week to visit his
sister, Miss Louise Alberf,son. Dewey
thinks Shady is great ane we hope tc
see him here often.

Prof. Brinson visited the school at

stressed the advantages of sub

est has been around in regard to this.
!, Berlin reminds us of story we
heard once. A man had good coon
dog and two pups he was anxious to
train. He went out hunting one eve
ming and the old dog treed a coon and
the pups made much to do over it
also. The man came up with his gun
and shot the coon, whereupon the old
dog told the pups to "come away now,
we've got him." Be a good sport,
Berlin, and fess up that you saw that
hard road coming down the pike be-
fore you cast such a big vote against
county division. And again, do you
think If we paid our little over
worked teacher more salary she could
do more work? When a cup is full
can you make it fuller? She is doing
her very best, which just now amounts
to the work of two ordinary teachers
The box supper Friday night at the
school house was great big success
every way. Socially it was every
thing desirable and financially it was
good. No great stack of money was
taken in, but the main object for
which it was given was realized and
some cash left IN the treasury. Sick

BAKER SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO
HEDGE

Washington, Oct. 27.-Secretary
Baker announced late yesterday that
the war department had received def
mite information that the enemies of
the governments policy towards Mex
leo, in cooperation with Villa, and
other bandits, had arranged for a
spectacular attack on the American
troops on the border, to be made be-
sentiment against the administration.
Full particulars of the plan, the sec
retary said, have been forwarded to
Generals Funston and Pershing and all
the American forces are in readiness
for the attack. In a statement issued,
the secretary added, that it was sig
nifcant in this connection that both
state and war department adyices
said that the bandit forces operating
at present in Mexico are being paid
in silver coin.
No additional information could be
obtained from Secretary Baker, who
left the city before the statement was
made public, to deliver an address in
West Virginia. From other sources,
however, it was learned that the in
formation regarding the plot was re-
ceived from the state and justice de-
parements on the border and other
sources which were not disclosed. 1t
is understood that no military report
from the border has mentioned the
subject.
It is also stated on reliable author
ity that none of the evidence in hand
involves any Americans and the Mex
lean interests in the United States are
believed to be directly responsible for
the conspiracy.
Secretary Lansing authorized the
statement that Secretary Baker had
no intention of intimating that any
Americans were involved in the ban
dit attack plot. Secretary Lansing
said his attention had been called to
the fact that an effort would be made
to construe Bakers statement as
political play.

General MacKenzen's forces in the
Dobrudja are pressing the retreating
Russo -Rumanian army hard. Sofia
reported this army in precipitate
fight toward the Danube. Petrograd
admitted retirement of more than
forty miles north of the Constanza-
Tchnernavoda railway. Berlin said
the Teutonic forces had reached the
Hirsova district, about forty miles
north Of Tchernavoda.
The Entente forces resisting the
Teutonic drive from the northwest ap-
parently were more successful. Pet
rograd said the Rumanians on the
