That road from Lakeland to the

of all those present at the dinner OF

fremont Hotel last night
The saying many men of many

the road is greatly to be desired and
should be built, there was consider
able difference of opinion as to the
route. three Of these being proposed
enc from the end of the county
road at Socrum, northeast 10 the
line: the FoNtown route. soinq out
Florida avenue through the settle
ment of that name; and one via Car

able discussion. hut it was finally
agreed that the meeting would sim
ply recommend T. the County Com
r,issioners that a road be built TO the

ing any route. and resolution 10
this effect was adopted
Good talks were made in connec-

Last night about 1890 Mrs. Groom
Moore. who lives at 500 East Orange
street, was awakened by having the
light switched on in her bedroom, by
a burglar, a white man about 20
years of age. He had his arms fold

when she awakened, but he only
stood a moment, as he evidently
feared she would give an alarm and
he beat it" out the back way, escap-
ing through a. rear window. through
which he made his entrance. No
one being in the house with her eX-
eept her little child Mrs. Moore was
afraid to get up and go into the din
ngroom to the telephone and call
the police. and she did not notify
Them until this morning. She de
scribes the man or boy as wearing

Splash parties, picnics and informal
little dances at the lake and the

toward making the summer vacations
delightful. There has been very lit

TO so much Red Cross and other work

MILITARY RANKS AND TITLES
TO BE CONFERRED ON RED
CROSS REPRESENTATIVES

Henry P Davidson as Chairman OF
The War Council Of the American
Red Cross authorized the following:
The War Department has authOriz-
ed certain military ranks and titles
to be conferred upon officers and rep
resentatives of the Red Cross, when
they have occasion to go into foreign
theaters OF war
The plan has been adopted because
under the abnormal conditions now
prevailing in Europe, actual expert
ence has shown this necessary.
These military ranks are in effect
exceptional passports giving Red
eros officers working in the theatre
OF war, unquestioned opportunity TO
move about freely and thus to per-
form their functions.
The War Department authorizes no
officers or representatives OF the Red
Cross to utilize any military rank or
title in the United States. Such com

on any Red Cross representative as

his leaving either the theatre Of war
or Red Cross service.

members.
