Mr.. H. w. Tucker was for a num-
Der of years bugler for the Ocala
Rifles, and the company is always
glad at the occasional times when he
picks up the instrument again. The
regular buglers fill their places we'll,
but "Tuck" is an accomplished mu-
sician and few can get as much mel
ody out of the instrument as he. He
took the bugle last night to sound the
call for quarters and taps, blowing
them two or three times apiece from
different points, and had the entire
town listening.

IN NEW MEXICO ALSO
A WORTHY INSTITUTION

While the Marion County Hospital
is receiving much and deserved
praise, the colored hospital should
not be forgotten in handing out the
compliments, for it is doing good
work also.
It's excellent work and probably its
existence is owing greatly to the
conscientious management and indus.
try of Mrs. Synobly Simmons, good
colored woman, who has the conf
dence of all who know her. By pa
tience and persistence she keeps this
hospital, which is far from self-sus-
tanning, at its good work.
This hospital now has a case that
requires the most constant and skill
ed attention. In accident on a log
road out in the west of the county
Gertrude Brown, colored girl OF
about twenty years, was thrown un-
der a car and pinned down in the
vicinity of the overturned engine
from which the scalding steam was
pouring. She remained in this fear
full predicament until the flesh of one
thigh was cooked until the bone was
exposed, and after that was brought
long and painful journey to the
Ocala colored hospital, where the
superintedent with the aid of the ply
sicians is giving her the best atten.
toin. The doctors hope to save hel
life, but she will always be a cripple
however, without the skilled nursing
she receives at the hospital she
would have had no chance.

the increased cost of living and every
possible labor-saving device must be
used.
Because of the lack of skilled labor.
the inadequacy of repair shops and
the scarcity of metals and other sup
plies many locomotives on the Rus
sian railways are out of repair. The
American railway engineers have ad-
vised an immediate extension of re-
pair shops and the employment of
foreign mechanics, if necessary, to
restore these locomotives to service
Immediately.
Pig iron is among the needs of
Russia which officials have reported
to the American experts. Worn
rails and other iron and steel have
been used very prodigally by the rail-
ways in construction work. At nearly
every railway station in Russia tons
of old steel rails are in use as hand
ratings. They are used at railway
crossings for fences and are found in
other places on railway property
where wood would serve as well. In
the larger centers hundreds of tons
of old steel and iron could be collected
by the government from railway
property on short notice. This ma
terial would meet the urgent demand
for iron without placing further bur-
den upon overloaded ships, and it is
not unlikely that the government viii
avail itself of this metal.
Russia is also in need of far more
coal than its mines are producing.
The American Railway Commission IS
investigating the great Denetz coal
fields with a view to determining
whether it will be possible to produce
the required fuel by enlarging the
present mains and speeding them up.
The rails on all Russian railways
are light. Consequently, it is not pos
sible to attain the speed possible on
80 and 1OO-pound rails. But railway
administration in Russia is not een-
tralized sufficiently TO get the great
est possible service out of tracks.
Trains are operated on local orders.
By the employment of division super
intendents and the institution OF a
more general system of dispatching,
the American engineers believe, thas
greater service can be obtained from
all lines.
Since the overthrow of the en-
Iperor, railway employees have chosen
their own officials. The Success OF
such a system is doubtful. But it was
necessary, apparently, to throw on
the domination of the old bureau
cracy.

FRENCH HAVE COMPLETED THEIR VICTORY OF FRIDAY BY ROUNDING OFF POINTS ON THE
VERDUN FRONT
CAsodae dPes0

The Austrian line on the Isonzo
front has been broken by the Italians
at several points, Rome announces.
The Italians continue to make fur
ious assaults between Tolmino and
the Adriatic and are pursuing the re-
treating Austrians who are defend
ing this difficult ground yard by
yard. One of the most brilliant feats
of the Italians was the capture of
Monte Santo peak, 2,200 feet high,
dominating Goriza. By holding this
the Austrians have been able to hold
up the Italian advance to the east.
Having gained their objects at Ver-
dun, the French are completing their
victory by local attacks to round out
their line and advanced last night
north of hill 304. The big guns are
active in Belgium and the Cham
pagne. No more important infantry
engagements by the British have
been reported.

STARVING THE WORLD
INTO SURRENDER
Is Germany's Plan to Bring the War
to Successful
End
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Aug. 25.-Two more
years will reduce the entire world to
the same shortage of food that exists
in Germany.
This statement has been given out
by scientists who have compiled sta
tisticF showing the actual condition
of the world as to food supplies, ra-
ton of consumption, etc., and it is
thought that Germany, acting on this
theory, is desirous of continuing the
war, believing that she will bring her
enemies to their knees.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Silent
Sentinols have progressed. They have
reached the point where there are vio-
lent protests against them. Everybody
knows that a movement is really on
its feet when the world divides itself
into factions and begins wrangling
over IL. Recall In this connection the
movement for the higher education of
women, the emancipation Of women,
and so on. over this present-dsy
movement husbands and wives in the
City Of Washington are arguing to-
day. Men, even the most advanced Of

ginning, but not the end, Of a domestic
scene. smplifcation Of which will be
omitted 10 IS here introduced for its
value as contrast. While hundreds
Of similar arguments were going on
throughout Washington, there were
other members Of the sterncr sex with
quite a different attitude.
An old gentleman, well dressed and
tottering, made his way past the silent
sentinels in front OF the White House
gates. The bright yellow and purple Of
their banners caught his attention. He
paused and read: "Mr. President. how
long will you keep us waiting The
old gentleman had not yet heard Of the
present agitation When he understood

chest with the arm that held il, and in
the zero weather thus passed the group
guarding the White House gates. When
he reached the other guard half block
down Pennsylvania Avenue. at the op-
posite gate, he removed his hat again.
Scores of other people showed the same
tendency toward respect While hus-
bands were protesting one anti-sufra-
gist, for example, passed the watchers
