COMMISSION HEARD THE
OCKLAWAHA VALLEY CASE

The case of the Ocklawaha Valley
railroad, which has announced its in
tention of suspending operations, was
heard by the state railroad commits
sion at the courthouse yesterday.
Present were all the members of the
commission, Chairman Burr, Messrs.
Bitch and Dunn, and their attorney,
Mr.. McMullen. A considerable num-
Der of people were present from along
the line of road, and some from Palat-
ka. Our Ocala business men did not
seem to take much interest in the
matter, few being present and none
offering any objection to the road
quitting work.
The hearing developed further proof
of the truth of the old saying, "There
are two sides to each question" Peo-
pie living along the line of the road
told how necessary the road was, not
only to their prosperity but their ex-
istence; how they had founded homes
because either the road was there, or
promised, and how they had every
right to demand that it be kept in op-
Grafton.
On the other hand, Mr.. William
Hooker, attorney for the road, told its
history, showed how it was impossi-
BILE for its owners to operate it except
at loss, which is something no busi-
ness man could be expected to do. His
argument was backed by the testi-
mony of Messrs. Hollinrake and Tar
YER.
A Star reporter interviewed Mr.. r,
G. Dunn of the commission at the
Harrington in the evening. Mr.. Dunn
could not say what the decision of the
commission would be. He said il
! realized what hardship it would be
| to people of the section traversed by
the road for it to stop running trains;
also, that it was evident that the
roads business and receipts were
light. The commission will do its best
to render a just decision in few
days
The Star would not be surprised i
the commission granted the petition
of the owners of the road. AS we
i have said before, the commission ha'
to look at matters from commercial
rather than judicial standpoint, ant
there is no doubt that the road is be
ing operated at a loss. There is M
/ law to compel its owners to keep it il
operation if they decide to quit.
The matter, however, can be takel
into the courts, which can be asked Il
put the road in the hands of receiv
er, and if the commission decides TO
the owners of the road, the Star ad
vises that this be done.

SCRAPPY BUNCH OF
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Fierce Strafing They Have Under
gone Makes Them Anxious to
Get at Fritz
ASSOCIATED Press J

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, Nov. 13.-The third
series of American battalions is now
occupying the first line and the sec
ond American detachments to enter
the trenches have returned to their
billets. The relief was accomplished
on brilliant starlight night without
the knowledge of the Germans.
Included among the returning
troops is the company which bore the
brunt of the recent raid on the Amer
lean trenches. At retreat this eye-
ming this company lined up in little
muddy street in village nesting un-
der hill some miles from the front
Their clothes were caked with mud
and the roofs and fences nearby were
hung with wet blankets and equip
ment.
Openings here and there in the
ranks showed how many men had
been killed, wounded and made pris-
a oners in the trench fight. After the
company was dismissed an officer OF
the battalion watched the men splash
off through the mud and said:
"There goes the scrappiest bunch
of soldiers in France. They are mac
all through and are just biding theil
time till they get a. chance to repay
the Germans for what happened t.
their comrades. They will get theil
revenge before this war is over. Yol
can depend on that"
The men are to enjoy several days
rest before taking up the training
work again.

. PRIVATE SMITH
America Has at Least Ten Million
Men Like Him

A special dispatch from Ludington,
Mich, to the New York Herald says:
The American soldier who was
wounded in the trenches in France
last Friday under the name of John
j. Smith really is John J. Lake, the
son of a Mason county farmer, who
was informed today by the war de-
partment that the boy made re-
markable fight. Lake enlisted in the
regular army last February, inform
ing his father he had used the name
of Smith "to avoid publicity
The father received message to-
day from the war department in
Washington reading:
"Deeply regret to inform you that
Private John J. Smith, Company F,
Sixteenth infantry, was wounded in
France"
''That's my boy" cried Mr.. Lake,
"I bet he put up tough scrap. Nc
German could take him alive" Then
Mr.. Lake opened a cable message
from the army headquarters in France
reading:
"John J. Smith Lake was wounded
in arm and side. He dropped his rifle
and with revolver fought his way
through communicating trenches, thru
the German barrage, to an observa
ton post There, with corporal anc
two other privates, he stopped te
! make a stand should the raidins
party pursue them"
1
"That's John, all right said the
proud father as tears came to hi
eyes. "He'd fight to the last drop
John wrote me only a month ago tina
he was feeling fine and growing
stouter; and he was husky chap be
fore he started. No, sir; no German
would take him alive. He said in hi
letter to me: IN. The Germans viii
never take me prisoner; shall di
first There was no quitter in tina
boy. When the Germans tackled hin
he gave a good account of himself.
"John would fight like bear cat a
long as he was conscious. The Ger
mans must have thought him dead o
they would have finished him, unles
he finished them first.
"My youngest son, Ralph enlisted i
the navy last August. He wrote m
two weeks ago that he expected t
leave soon for European waters"
