The following are extracts from g

by Lieut.. Earl Hunt, one of the uni

sion at the Preside. He is now at
American Lake with the new army
getting it into shape.
Camp Lewis, Sept. 10, 1917.
Don't think because l have not
written that l have forgotten all my
friends | used to think that we were
busy last summer, but this is an even
steadier grind. 1t is not hard phys
ically and yet it is, for we are on the
go so much that we feel pretty much
tagged out all the time. / will tell you
wlfat we have been doing.
1.-THE first batch of draft army men
arrived on the 6th. One hundred and
fifty of them were turned over to us
right away. The first thing to do of
course was to get them into quarters,
issue blankets and feed them.
"You couldn't tell one from another,
everything was strange to them and
not familiar to us. They knew
of military discipline, did not
know the meaning of an order, and in
fact were just a small mob. The first
day each man had to write life his
tory. We found many of them col
lege graduates and some whose educa-
ton was nun We had bank clerks,
lawyers, dentist, blacksmith, an
artist, several carpenters, cooks,
tramps, lumber jacks and men of all
types. The biggest surprise of all was

a German submarine commander who
10 known throughout the American
iotilla as Kelly" Zig real name y
American sailors promptly dubbed
him Kelly OF tho Emerald Isle" and
the name will stick In the songs and
stories Of the navy AZ long as the
great war 10 talked about.
"Kelly'' earned his name by his dis.
play Of a rich vein Of quite unGerman
humor. He has become the hero Of
numberless stories. Not all of these
are true, and probably most of them
Associated Press car vouch for is that
Kelly" is a real Individual and that
there 10 some foundation for the re-
markable tales of his exploits.
Kelly" commands q mine.layinx
U-boat which pays frequent visits, to
the district patrolled by the American
d~estroyers. When he has finished his
task he generally devotes q few min
utes to a prank of some kind. Some
times he contents himself with leav-
ing a-note, flying from a buoy, scrib-
bled In schoolboy English and address
ed to his American enemy. On other
occasions he picks out q deserted bit
of coast line at night and goes ashore
with a squad of his men for a saunter
on the beach, leaving behind a placard
or a bit Of German bunting as a re-
minder Of his presence. +
His most audacious exploit, how
ever-if the legends Of the forecastle
are to be believed-was a trip which
he made several months ago to Dub
lin. where he stayed two. days at q
leading hotel. afterward Joining hiS
U-boat somewhere up the west coast!
He is said to have informed the Brit
ish OF his exploit by leaving his re-
ceipted hotel bill attached to on\ Of
their buoys.
Still another Of "Kelly's more re-
cent stunts was to plant the German
flag OF a rising on the coast line.

SOLDIERS BRING
MONEY INTO THE CITY

Officers of Company A have just
okayed bill of $2510.50 of the Ocala
House for rations for the company
during August. This little wad Of
cash will go to the butcher, the baker
and the other business men, not so
much, but yet enough to be welcome.
Other money has been disbursed in
the city by the company. Many of
their friends have come in from the
country and spent their coin. As for
the boys themselves, they haven't
held back with what they have, but
have handed it out freely. None of
them are rich, but none are paupers;
most of them come from good farm
ers' homes and all brought more or
less money with them. So it has not
only been very pleasant to have them
with us from a social standpoint, but
they have stimulated business not a
little.
Everybody should give the soldiers
the worth of their money. Any at
tempt to cheat them of what they buy
themselves or what the government
buys for them would be very contemp-
tible. They have been free with their
own money, and they are going to be
free of their blood and their lives.
Always give them good measure
