DOWN WITH ENGLAND"
War Loan Press Agent Coins New
 Slogan. ta

London, April 6.-TelegraphinS from The Hague, the Exchange Tel egraph's correspondent says the Ger man ministry of finance publishes the following letter. written by Ernst Heinrich Haeckel, professor of zoology in the University of Jena. as propa- ganda for the sixth German war loan:
 You have asked my opinion of this cruel war. My answer. founded on the words of our three greatest he- roes. Won Hindenburg, Ludelfdorff and Won Tirpitz is down wit. England at any price,
 Should England. who brought about this war and Is now succeeding in her design of getting the whole world against als. win the war, there would followia British peace and tho destruction of our dear Fatherland. It would be f1nis for Germania Eng land is rightly called the destroyer of peoples She will treat us as she has treated Ireland.
 II have known England for fifty years and still admire her for her great cultural and scientific work. but l have also known England's immeas- urable national egotism and swelled headedness. Some of our sentimental Germans believe an understanding h still possible with our most cruel enemy. It is impossible. Only when our U-boats have succeeded in break ing and bringing England to her knees shall we get the peace desired by Germany. Therefore we must. al. subscribe to the war loan."

ESCAPE DEATH BY INCHES

MT. and Mrs. J. J. viets Have Terrible
 Experience Crossing Tracks in Bris- tol-Gatetender Reported Absent. MT. and Mrs. J. J. Yiets of this city narrowly escaped being run down and ground to pieces beneath the wheels of the Bristol-bound dinkv at 12:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Doolittle's crossing m f'lainville. MT. Viets is related to R. B. Viets, who f1gured in a similar tragedy at the Curtis street crossing several weeks ago when his wife was killed and his mother-in-law seriously injured
 The near fatality of yesterday is blamed by some witnesses on the gatetender, even as was the accident here. Mr. Viets was driving his ma cfine slowly to avoid school children and claims to have sounded his horn as he approached the crossing. Wit nesses claim that no gateman ap~ peared and as the New Bitain party crossed the tracks the dinky swept around the curve and thundered down upon them. With remarkable presence of mind Mir. viets damned his foot onto the accelerator and thereby gave his car sufficient extra momentum to speed it across the tracks. The train missed striking the tonneau of the machine by inches.
 Later MT. Viets visited the gate tenders shack and found it locked wh~reupon he visited police head quarters to lodge formal complaint.

HINDENBURG LINE
 NOT REACHED YET
General Maurice Says Capture of St. Quentin Would Not Break
 German Position.


 London, April 6.-Hopes that 'the capture of St. Quentin by the Britisl, and French, would break the Hinden- burg line were dashed by Major-Gen- eral F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office. ''St. Quentin is not a part of the Hin- denburg line," he said. "and the sur render of that city will not mean the preaching of the German position" General Maurice did not indicate where the F1indenburg line lay, whether it was on high ground not far tc the rear of St. Quentin and La Fere or many miles beyond, almost to the border. West of Cambrai and southeast of Arras the British havc come up to fortified line," he said, but did not say that was a part of the Hindenburg line. The exact whereabouts of this famous position i" now considered a mystery.
 ''The fighting is becoming more severe along the line of the enemy retirement until it can now be said that cavalry skirmishing has given way to an infantry advance guard ac- ticn. with the natural result that the actions are becoming harder. with more tangible results in the way of prisoners and material.
 You know we recently have taken six guns. Along the northern sector of our advance the enemy has reachee a fortified line where he is certain to put up a fight. Elsewhere on the somme front actual infantry contact is noted. St. Quentin is not a part of the Hindenburg line and the sur render of this town will not mean the breaking of the German positions
 "Our advance under the recent ap- palling weather conditions must be considered as a splendid operation. for the snow there has been as bad as here, eight inches having fallen in the space of a few hours. The ad vance of our infantry and guns under such conditions constitutes a feat of which the army may we'll be proud"

COMPANY A DEFEATS OCALA
8 TO 0.

Lieut. E. P Anderson pitching for
the boys of Company "a" held the
Ocala team to a very few hits and
won his game by the score of to 0.
The game, considering the lack of
practice by either team, was very
good game, there being very few er-
rors on either side, but the ground
on account of the recent rains was
slow and there were very few bril-
liant plays Denham. for the soldiers,
was the only man that hit for extra
bases. he getting a nice one over the
left fielder's head for two bases.
A neat stop by Batts at short AMI
throwing a runner out at second and
fast double play from Bats to
Bitch to Brown were the feature
plays for the Ocala boys.
The Soldiers won by their hitting
and fast fielding, Liddel making the
stellar play for the soldiers when he
went to the bleachers and took in a
foul from the bat OF MCLin.
There was a good crowd out to see
the game and nice little sum was
turned over to the boys which we
know they will enjoy
