SENDOFF FOR
THE SELECTS
Citizens and Ladies of Ocala Started
Them on Their Way With
Hearty GOdspeed

The twenty-three selected men,
who left for Camp Jackson today had
a much better sendoff than it looked
like they would yesterday.
No doubt that they would have had
a regular ovation, but the departure
of Company A Sunday almost used
up the stock of feeling in the town,
and almost everybody wanted to be
quietly sad for awhile.
However, President Gary of the
board of trade worked himself and
enlisted some of the other reliables,
so when the hour came for the boys to
leave the board of trade rooms and
the street outside was filled with
well-wishers.
The young men, without exception,
reported yesterday afternoon. They
we're well take ncare of at the Har-
rington. When they lined up at the
board of trade rooms at noon, they
were as clean-looking, alert and husky
bunch as you could see. 1t will not
take long to make soldiers of them.
A large number of our folks were
on hand to bid them goodbye. 1t
was a pleasant surprise when it was
seen that there was comfort bag for
everyone. Mrs. G. A. Ottmann, in
charge of that department of Red
Cross work, just couldn't stand the
idea of the boys going away without
those conveniences, and so she pitch
ed in, and with the help of Mrs,
Green, Mrs. DeHon, Mrs. Blackburn,
Mrs. Harvey Clark and Miss Blair
Woodrow, in little over three hours,
made a full supply of the bags. These
We're presented by Mr.. Ottmann with

They had fairly good car, cou-

were we'll provided for and will prob
ably have a good trip.

that the sanitary committee can ar

that the local board has under consid-

repairs made on the wooden building

SWEDEN IN A SWEAT
Evident that Troubles Caused by the
Exposed German Intrigues
are Not Over
(Associated Press)

Stockholm, Sept. 19.-It is general
ly believed here that Sweden's trou-
bles over Germany's Argentine in
trigues are by no means ended. The
main question is whether the United
States will be satisfied with the
Swedish statement, or will call for a
clear, unequivocal statement to the
effect that forwarding American COM
munications in plain language, with
the consent of governments concern
ed, is not a parallel service to that
rendered Germany by Sweden.
