At z O'CLOCK LAST
NIGHT BY L.C. DtM|LlEY

Mr.. L. c. DeMilly. manager of the
Lakeland Ice Company reports that
at twelve O'Clock last night he saw
an airplane flying over Lakeland,
heaeded west.
Mr.. DeMilly was lying on the bed
at his home on S. Missouri avenue,
reading when he heard the m otor of
a hying machine. and, looking up,
he could see the lights of the craft,
which was apparently quite high
up in the air. He called to Mrs. De-
Milly and she. too, saw the lights
OF the airship. though by that time
it had proceeded quite a distance
Where the mysterious machine came
from or whittier bound is, of course,
only matter of vague speculation .

Gated at Miami, and this one possi-
bly, was from the East Coast bound

Piano Recital

A piona recital was given at Miss
Rrockmann's studio on East Limo
street this morning by a number of
her pupils, to an appreciativc audi
ence.
The program was cept!onally
attractive, the selections mostly
from the better class of modern com
posers.
The work of these young musi-
Clans gave evidence of careful. prep
aration and in several instances of
marked talent.
The playing of Miss Gladys Keen
in particular was unusually clean in
execution, and showed a n.usica |
discrimination rare in so young a
student
The stirring French national hymn,
which has inspired French soldiers
for more than a hundred years, and
which doubtless our boys with Perish
ing will soon be singing, broueht the
recital to a close.

IN AUTO ACCIDENT
TWO LAKELAND
BOYS ESCAPED
WITHOUT INJURY

An accident occurred on the Tam
pa road last night about $3.50 which
might have resulted more seriously
for two Lakeland boys. Paul Sam
mon and Malcolm McMullen, but
they luckily escaped, the former
with no injuries and the latter with
slight bruise on the forehead, as
the result of a collision between two
automobiles.
The young men, above named,
state they had been to Tampa and
were bringing back a young man and
his two sisters to attend the dance
at the Woman's Club building, and
when near Seffner at about $50 they
ran out of gasoline. They stopped
on the side of the road and having
secured some gasoline. were starting
to crank the car, when a machine,
driving without lights, crashed into
them from the rear taking off
one rear wheel. The latter car was
driven by A. F. Rector, who was
thrown through the windshield and
severely cut on the head and the
knee, the impact turning his car over
in the ditch. Mr.. Rector's little son
was badly scratched up when he was
thrown into "a wire fence, and other
members of his party were more or
less bruised up. No damage other
than that mentioned, was done to
the Ford driven by Paul Sammon,

$3.50 Secured
For Red Cross
War Fund, Up
To 3 O'clock
This Afternoon

The men of Lakeland enlisted in
the Red Cross work swooped down
on the community like a wolf on the
fold" today, and through their fine
work the good name of Lakeland and
the cause of humanity has been so
effectually served that there is no
longer any doubt that Lakeland will
come up with the amount allotted to
her to raise for this great work.
With some returns not yet report
ed, over $4,000 has been added to
the figure at which the thermometer
stood this morning-to be exact, the
total amount on record at headquar-
ters is $437O This does not include
the amounts raised by some commit
tees who have not yet turned in their
reports. Another day as successful
as today ought to make up Lake
lands full allotment.
The ladies are also working vail
antly today-indeed, the whole eff
fort of the day is to be credited to
them, as the men are simply working
for them. and whatever contribu
tions they secure will be turned over
to the various committees of the
ladies under plan which insures alb
solute impartiality.
TO show with what a splendid spir
it the business men of Lakeland have
responded to the call of this great
obligation, we are printing list of
the larger contributors, classified as
to the character of business repre-
sented Later complete list of ev-
cry contributor, large or small will

report, however, is no reflection on
any person whose name does not ap-

ton. 1t may simply mean that the

outelassed by Reason of Superior Gun
Range, Brave Russians Give Desper-

London.--Apparently, contingents of
the Russian neet-in all about twenty
warships of various classes-are bot,
tied up in Moon sound, with n Gordon
of German warcraft barring their
egress northward back into the Gulf
OF Finland or To the south into tho
Gulf of Riga
Brave, but outclassed by reason of,
superior gun range and heavier ton
mage, the Russians gave battle to the
Germans and attempted to force back
the enemy armada off Oesel island.
Sttnding far outside the shell zone
OF the Russians. however, the guns of
the German dreadnought sank the bat
tleship Slaya, relic of the days be-
fore the Russo-Japan war - and so
badly damaged other units that the
Ru5sian ilotilla was forced to seek ref
uge i'll Moon sound-lying between
Noon island and the Esthonia coast.
Immediately seeing their advantage,
the Germans, according to latest Ger
man official communication, began in
tenslve operations against Moon isl
and, hammering its eastern shore bat
teries until they We're silenced, and
also attacking the Russian guns on
the mainland, putting them out of ac
ton. Moon island was captured and
the Russians took refuge inside the
sound. Thereupon the Germans threw
warships to the eastern part of kas-
sar bay, lying to the north of Moon
island, barring exit from the northern
entrance to Moon sound, and also
rushed contingents to the south OF
Moon island apparently closing the
passage to the south in the Gulf of

Already the Germans have attempt
ed to attack from the north into Moon

them back successfully.
