WOMEN In THE WAR
BY G. KAY SPENCER,
Italy's Joan of Arc.

1t was dusk in the Carnic Alps.
The deep green hues of the mountain
forests were blending in the gloam-
ing, and a restful gloom was settling
down in the mountains. Devious path
ways cut an uncertain course through
the volGptuous color of the vegetation.
Along one Of these overgrown guild
ing ways 4 regiment of the Italian
BersaSlieri was making a tortuous
ascent. These men were moving for
ward to attack an enemy position
which their air forces had failed to
locate all through a humid day of
death.
The Austrian battery had swept
with whitening waves of steel the
backs of these hoary Italian noun
tain crests. Thirteen thousand of
ltalia's first line troops had vainly
endeavored to pass the enemy en-
placements.
The Bersaglieri. Italy's strange,
swift-loping infantry. was going into
the action, expert, accurate marks
men, every man.
The advanced patrols and several
on the fianks had engaged enemy pa
trols several times and had only sue
ceeded in adding to the perplexities
of the situation.
suddenly there was a challenge an
oath in Italian, and presently cor
poral was seen making his way to the
main body. With him was a woman
"a young girl. self possessed and
smiling. She inquiries her way to the
commanding officer. She carries an
automatic at her hip and she knows
the Austrian position. She is a ma
tive of the parts and has won the
confidence of Austrian officers.
The engine of blue steel flashes
DULY from her hip to her hand and
points upward and onward. She cheers
"a wild Italian mountain cry-and
the troops respond. The Bersaglieri
follow the young woman, who march,
es rapidly and firmly with her au-
tomato In the fore, greedy for a
target.
They soon encounter their own. ad-
vanced patrols and, joining, they
make a precarious way over piles of
age-worn rock.
Direct to the task she leads them.
She fights with them; her pistol spit-
ting its doses of death into enemy
breasts: her cheers ringing shrilly
above the maelstrom of swirling foes.
and steel firing steel on its errand
into the enemy vitals.
The encounter was violent and de-
cisive. The Austrians were routed
to be technically correct-were an
initiated. The Italians occupied the
position and signalled headquarters
the location of adjacent enemy out
posts. The result was the eventual
occupation by the Italian armies of
the entire Austrian system on that
sector.

that plan whether they are lucky
enough to own an automobile or not.
.here is something about taking ones
frets and frictions out OF doors that
seems to cause them to evaporate
The very bigness and brightness of
Nature seems to make human tenn
lers and trials appear so small in
comparison. One cannot quarrel half
so violently out under the clear heav-
ems as whel. shut in by four walls.
Then, too Mother considered. the
very fact that the atmosphere of the
home is kept free from anything of
an unpleasant nature makes each
member of the household endeavor
to maintain harmonious conditions.
One actually builds up an ideal do
mestice existence by adopting Mrs.
Fane's method and settling every dis
pute far away from home environ
ments."
And so I'm advising every unhappy
person who may happen to read this
talk of mine to get the automobile
habit, whether they get rid of their
troubles with the help of a gasoline
engine, an electric battery, or just on
their own two feet. After all, it's
the habit that counts. not so much
the meanS by which We acquire it.

You should forget the past and think

Happiness depends a good deal on

L. Z. B.-Your criticism is very in

to hear what characters are most ap-
preciated in her plays, and the rea-
sons why some are considered better
than others. That you call my name
an immortal one makes me so proud
that / will work doubly hard to retain
such an opinion from you.
Sister V. S.-Of course. I think IL is
perfectly dear of you to want to call
me sister" I'm so happy that you
pray for me and send me kisses. What
a darling little girl you must be, I'm
glad you like my Daily Talks in the

be an actress. One must work hard
all the time to achieve success. But
the work is worth while when people
appreciate the results.
Mrs. I. B. P.-I quite agree with you

FAVORABLE REPORT BY THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
WELCOME HOME
When the Boys come marching home

Hurrah, Hurrahii

When the Boys come marching home
again
Hurrah! Hurrah,!
And several more "hurrahs" and a
tiger" for good measure.
The Second Florida Infantry has
given a good account OF itself ever
since it left Black Point for the bor-
der many months ago. And of the
several companies composing the reg
iment none have done better work or
received more concentrations than
Company A of Ocala.
Colonel Banding and his men are
deserving Of and will receive infinite
credit for the admirable manner in
which the boys have conducted them
selves in the ranks as regulars, under
the flag.
The young men who marched forth
out of Ocala will return widely differ
ent in appearance and in vision.
They were in a large measure raw
recruits. not fully equipped, knowing
little of actual sun-fre, some in uni
form and some not.
When they shall disembark from
the train and march up the street with
martial tread. heads erect, eyes
straight ahead. shoulders thrown back.
faces tanned, muscles hardened, the
picture of health. with splendid mill
tary bearing and trained in the art of
defense they viii gladden. the hearts
OF their parents and fellow citizens.
But the duty of the members of
Company A has but fairly begun
IN these stirring days those who
have seen service on the border will
be of inestimable aid in promoting
plans for national defense.
Each member of the company and
OF the regiment is qualified to act as
a unit about which recruits may gath
er for instruction.
Ocala has a fairly good armory. 1t
will soon become alive with patriotic
ardor and the center OF preparedness
for the struggle which seems impend-
ing.
Ocala is tremendously proud of
Company a, and the record it has
made on the border, adm We hope that
it's ranks will be strengthened
There will be cause for still great
er satisfaction as the men turn to
and give their aid individually and
collectively in the big movement for
adequate national preparedness.
Lakeland promises to give its sol
der boys a reception in the way Of a
big banquet-we hope that Ocala will
be none the less patriotic.

Many Senators Believe That President
Wilson viii Be Forced to Call an
Extra Session to Provide
Funds for Some Govern
ment Departments

Washington, Feb. 2S.-General leg
islation made practically no progress
today and the prospect that some Of
the big supply measures will fail to
pass before March (, when the pres
- ent congress dies by limitation, was
,reater by twenty-fOur hours. For
about six hours the senate talked
about the revenue bill, on which it had
already agreed to vote tonight.
The only other important bill that
got even a glance from the senators
was the $535,000000 naval appropria-
tion bill, which was taken up for a
brief time, but to which Senator La
Toilette aaain showed his opposition.
The army appropriation bill still rest
ed in the military affairs committee
and the sundry civil and deficiency
measures have not even been sent
over from the house.
These indications lead many sena-
tors to believe that President Wilson
Will D6 IpICeu W EclI ol cAl1d SSSSACI
TO provide funds for some of the gov
ernment departments. The first real
test. however, on whether there is to
be an out-and-out attempt to beat these
measures or any one Of them will
come tonight after the vote on the
revenue bill and its amendments.
After it is passed the lines will be
drawn on the naval bill and, if it is
disposed of, on the army bill. There
is every possibility that the senate
will sit all night tonight and that it
will spend most of the four days re-
naming in continuous session.
Hopes senators may have had for
legislation other than the appropria-
tion bills and the measure TO author
ize the president to protect American
shipping have gone glimmering, and
even .old-timers who have seen the
senate out through eight appropria-
tion bills in one day are far from con
tident that it will finish the essential
work ahead before Sunday noon.
