OCALA'S COLORED
CITIZENS ARE PROUD

Whatever may have been lacking
in the patriotism and enthusiasm of
the colored citizens here, has been
more than supplied recently in the
appointment of Levi Alexander Jr. as
first lieutenant in the regular u. S.
army. Lieut.. Alexander arrived in
the city Thursday of last week from
the training camp at DesMoines, Ia.
For more than a week this finely
uniformed young negro army officer
has been home on visit to his rela-
tives and friends, and his presence
on the streets and around town
among his fellow townsmen has
proven an inspiring sight to members
of his race. Colored citizens have all
been made to feel proud of them
selves and of one of their own num-
Der who has achieved such distinction.
The recognition shown by the u. S.
army to the merit and character of
one of our own race and Of our own
community has inspired US with hope

old flag have been increased.
The cordial manner in which this
young negro officer has been greeted
by our white citizens here is but an
other evidence of the fact that the
relations between the races in Ocala
are friendly, and shows that our
white citizens are ever ready to lend
us a helping hand when we prove
ourselves worthy. They have shaken
his hand and congratulated and COM
mended him upon his splendid
achievements.
Beginning with a joyful home
coming at the beautiful West Broad
way residence of his parents on the
evening of his arrival, the social cir
cles among the colored citizens have
been at full blast until now, and
number of special dinners, banquets
and receptions of various kinds have
been given in his honor. Perhaps the
most elaborate of these was the
smoker rendered him Wednesday eve
ming in Odd Fellows hall on Broad
way by his brother knights of Mar
ion lodge No. SO, K. of P. This bril-
liant affair was presided over by
Jas. L. LaRoche, who acted as toast
master. The following toasts were
made:
Lieut.. Alexander as a child, by ].
w. Alexander, his uncle.
Lieut.. Alexander as school boy,
by F. P. Gadson.
Lieut.. Alexander as college stud
ent, by DR.. R. R. Williams.
Lieut.. Alexander as a mechanic,
by Chas. III. Davis.
Lieut.. Alexander as Sir Knight, by
R. S. Mitchell.
Lieut.. Alexander as candidate in
the training camp, by Lieut.. o. M.
Simmons
Our Lieut.. Alexander, by Rev. A.
L. James.
Presentation of Lieut.. Alexander,
by Rev. S. M. Gibbs.
Response by Lieut.. Alexander. =
The young lieutenant responded
briefly but beautifully, assuring every
one present of his sincerest thanks
and appreciation for the honor which
they had given him, and modestly
said among other things that thus
far he had only achieved right to
try, and expressed his desire to serve
at the front in the great world strugv
gle for democracy and said that he
was ready to give his life for his
country. He closed with promise to
| all that as he went forth to battle he
would keep in mind the fact that
there were ten millions of co1ored
citizens behind him demanding that
he do his bit toward keeping the old
flag from ever touching the ground.

Mrs. Fl. J. Robinson is guilty. We
know she is guilty for she was
caught with the goods" However
we will suspend judgment indefin-
itely provided she repeats the offense
and we incline to the opinion that
she will. She came to the Home on
Tuesday afternoon of last week and
assembled the resident ladies on the
porch of the Annex and set them to
work sewing for the Red Cross soci-
ETY. She had the goods" with her
and the Home ladies were most will
ing to assist and the result was that
much work was accomplished. After
some discussion of the question, it
was decided to organize a local soci-
ETY. here, which will undoubtedly ac-
complish much for the mother or
ganization, since our ladies are ex-
ceedingly patriotic and will gladly
devote a goodly portion of their
time to the cause.

Situation
CONFUSING
for theU.S.
American Government Will
Go Slowly in Dealing
With the Peace Overtures
of the Bolsheviki.

Washington. Nov. 24.-The United
States government will go very slowly
and carefully in dealing with the
Bolsheviki overtures for an armistice
and universal peace, the state depart
ment declared today.
At the same time department Off
cials stated that the Russian peace
maneuvers could not be considered as
other than "serious' and that the gen.
eral Russian situation is every con-
fusing"
Partly as a means Of sitting Russian
peace maneuvers and inspiring that
nation to fight on, this government
will be doubly insistent that the allies
unite in a statement of their war aims
and expose any secret war treaties. IL
they exist.
TO BRING SHOWDOWN.
With Russia moving for an armistics
and universal peace, the United States
proposes that the Paris war conference
shall bring about a showdown. Col
onel House is bending every effort to
sway the allies to this viewpoint.
These aims must be such as to in
spire the Russian people. They must
be such that the Russians, heartily
anxious for peace, will be willing to
lay aside the negotiations and fight for
world democracy.
RUSSIA MAY FIGHT ON.
The United States stands ready 10
back any stable Russian government
If it does not make separate peace
with Germany authorities told the
United Press today.
Some officials believe Lenine's and
Trotsky's statements that II uni
yersal peace cannot be obtained, no
separate peace will be concluded with
Germany and that the nation will
then fight on. In such event the Unit
ed States stands ready to aid the
Russian government. be it "Bolsheviki
or some other faction.
The offer of an arm.stice and the
proposal for a universal peace has not
reached the state department today
but is anticipated.
The Russian nation as whole Is re-
garded as sincerely anxious for the
| "democrtic peace" but 1t is felt here
| that if timely steps are taken to show
Russia that she Is putting her heac
| into a moose by dropping out OF tht
fight now she will quit talking peace
stop her armistice proposals and ge'
back into the harness.
| That there will be no acceptance O.
the armistice proposal by the allies Il
| positive.
Reported reduction of the Russian
| fighting forces was discouraging tt
officials here, though 1t is doubtfui !
| Germany can take especial advantag'
of this with witner closing In and me-
troops so busily engaged on the Itaiiai
and western fronts.
