PLANNING TO MAKE ACTIVE WAR
ON THE WOUNDED

London June 21.-The British for
eighn office makes the following an
nouncement:
The German government announces
that they have conclusive proof that
lin several instances enemy hospital
ships have often been misused for the
transport Of munitions and troops.
They also state that they have placed
these proofs through diplomatic chan
nels before the British and French
governments, and have at the same
tine declared that the traffic of hos
pital ships on the military routes for
the forces fighting in France and Bel
GUM within a drawn line between
FlamborOugh Head and TerschelIing,
on the one hand. and from Ushant to
Lands End on the other, will no long
e~ be tolerated.
His Majestys government has re-
.ceived no such communication,
through diplomatic channels or other
wise, from the German government,
as IS alleged, and they most amphat-
ic&lly deny that British hospital ships
have been used for the transport of
munitions and troops. or in any way
contrary to The Hague convention for
the adaptation of the principles of the
Geneva convention 10 maritime war.
Under the convention belligerents
have the right to search hospital ships.
and the German government has
therefore an obvious remedy in case
OF suspicion, remedy which it has
never utilized
From the German governments
statement that hospital ships will no
longer be tolerated within the limits
mentioned only one conclusion can be
drawn, namely, that it is the intention
of the German government to add yet
another and more unspeakable crime
against law and humanity to the long
list which already disgraces her rec
ord.

The canvass for raising the war

mended One dispatch says:
Richmond and Louisville began

ing 80 per cent. OF its allotment. Al
noon New Orleans reported more than
one-fourth its quota, Knoxville had

$4,000 of its $4,000 Last night Lam
caster. s. c.. with s3992 in hand al
ready had half of its apportionment,
and before the campaign was under
way Ocala, Fla, was ready with about
two-fifths of the sum it had underwrit-
ten; Waycross, Ga, Greenville, S. c.,
and Jackson, Tenn, all began work
with early gifts that totaled up into
the thousands.
From Savannah came the an
nouncement that the negro population
had guaranteed to raise $4,000 among
themselves"
It is felt that the south will raise
her quota Of the amount.
Ocala's sum at the end of the third
day totaled nearly three thousand dol

London, June 2O.-Indicatfons point
ITO an early resumption of operations
on grand scale in Belgium and
France, if. indeed. they have not al
ready begun in Flanders and Cham
pagne. A significant statement in the
latest official bulletin says that in
Flanders and Champagne the fight
ing activity has been revived at sew
eral points"
Aside from this there is no infOrma-
tion as 10 the exact state of affairs.
In Champagne the Germans have
made attempts to recapture positions
taken by the French, but met with re-
pulse. suffering heavy casualties. To
the northwest, around CracOnne. heavy
artillery duels are being fought.
The situation in Flanders is even
more obscure, as neither the British
nor French statements tend TO clarity
the German report of the recon-
mencement Of hostilities. Artillery
duels of great intensity are known to
have been in progress between Boes-
inghe and Frelinghein, while to the
south, in France, in the neighborhood
OF the Bapaume, Cambria road, the
British troops have resumed their
trench-raiding operations, destroying
German dugouts and taking many
prisoners.

FARMERS OF FLORIDA MUST
ACT AS A UNIT

\ law creating a marketing bureau
was passed by the last legislature
which will become effective July 1.
Commissioner McRae says that
there is need for marketing bureau
there is not shadow of doubt.
He says that We need better sys-
tenn of marketing, and 10 accomplish
which the farmers must get together.
The cattle tick must be eradicated.
The hog cholera must be prevented,
and hundreds of things must be done.
We quote:
Now to the point To get results
and show the benefit and need of CO.
operation the department concentrat-
ed its efforts on one state-Kansas.
A campaign of education was inaugu-
rated, various cooperative associa-
tions were organized, producers and
buyers worked in harmony, care was
given to production, eggs were graded
and topped the market in quality and
price, and shipments are now being
made by train loads
Marketing bureaus are in opera
tion in a number of American states.
and as farmers cooperate they profit
by it. The farmers OF Florida must
get together on this marketing prop
osition. Its plans and purposes will
soon be made public. The members of
the Farmers Union Of the state and
nation are s0lidly back Of it. The
finding Of market is not all. It
means that the farmer must produce
staple crops and these crops must be
properly graded and packed. 1t
means system and organization along
the whole line from seed selection to
the Standardization of all products of
garden, grove, field and range.
Success in banking, manufacture
ing and merchandising rests upon CO.
operation and system. The message
or the marketing bureau is that the
country people Of Florida must get
together for their own interest and
benefit. The secret of success is in
united efficiency. wherein specialize
tlon IS set over against generalization
and concentration over against disor-
der and looseness. That is the prac-
tical thing-and nothing is wholesome
and enduring that is not practical"

Our community was startled We'd
nesday afternoon upon ascertaining
that Mr. ]. j. McCranie, we'll known
citizen living across the Oklawaha riv-
er, had been assassinated.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that
Sheriff Galloway had received wire
from UmatilIa simply stating that Mr.
McCranie had been shot and killed at
his home, and for the sheriff to hasten
there as quickly as possible.
The sheriff at the time the message
was received was out of the city on
official business, so it was impossible
for him to respond to the call before
s o'clock.
Before starting he phoned to this
office saying he had received no par
ticulars concerning the tragedy what
ever, stating also that he was una
ware that Mr.. McCranie had an enc
my IN the county.
Mr.. McCranie's home is about ten
miles from a telegraph or telephone
office, and as Mr.. Galloway could not
reach there much before ten o'clock
he said that it would be impossible for
him to furnish US with any of the par
ticulars of the assassination until to-
day.
Mr.. McCranie was about fifty years
of age, was never married and was
one of the most prosperous farmers
living in his immediate community.
For time he was game warden.
and with that exception never held
any public office.
He was of pleasing and prepossess-
ing address. and numbered his friends
by the score, and his assassination
seems almost incredible to his Ocala
friends.
