OCALA MEN WITH A COUPLE OF
THOUSAND OTHER EMBRYO ..
OFFICERS SPEND LAST
WEEK DIGGING
TRENCHES.

One of the Ocala men now in
training at Fort Oglethorpe writes
that they had very strenuous time
last week digging the trenches.
These trenches cover about 60
acres and are miles in length They
are quite wOnderful-just like those
on the battle fronts in Europe. They
were land out by the war department
and built under the supervision of
French officers. The trenches con-
sist of various elements, listening
posts, first line firing trenches, en-
placements for machine guns, block
houses, dugouts, for the command
ers, the whole system connected by
various communication trenches, all
connected by a telephone system.
The trenches cover thirty acres Of
ground and are from five to six feet
deep and two feet more in width.
So from this account it is easy to
see the vast amount of work accom-.
plished by these men in training last
week.
Each trench is named: - Ypres
trench, Paris trench, Lafayette
trench, Petain trench, etc.
These trenches also have a COM
plete system of wire entanglements
All the Ocala men are holding up
fine under their strenuous work and
are in fine condition.

A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION.

Last Monday morning the death
angel visited the home of w. w. How

eral was held in the little Methodist
church on Tuesday afternoon, where

married the daughter of Mr.. William

the late Edward Lee Howell, OF
Ocala; and Charlie B. Howell of Low

of Demorest, Ga. He also leaves the
faithful wife and mother who in
nearly fifty-one years has climbed the
hills, and walked through dales to
gether. Two married children in
California by former wife also are
left.
Mr.. Howell came to Florida in
1888 and has always resided in An
thony.
He died at the ripe old age of 8:
years. having lived twelve years ovel
his allotted time.

In every link that was examined
ground glass was found.
At Camp Funston a cook was
caught red-handed with enough poi

In his possession blue prints were

At another camp it was found that
the water had been contaminated.

 No doubt it would be- better for many Americans if the government could benevolently regulate worry as 1t regulates monopoly But for the mass of mankind care and fretting and anxiety are the price they pay for comfort and progress and life itself. and to deny them this exercise of their nervous energy would be to reduce them to the brute.

NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 24, 1912

Germaay's answer to President Will sons note competely evades the issue
 The President requested from each of the belligerents a definite state ment or sAe objects of the war and the terms upon which it would con- slider peace. Germany replies by pro posing an mediate conference "of dele gates of the belligerents states at a neutral place. knowing that this pro- posal had already been emphatically rejected by the Entente Governments.
 The President did not ask for a peace conference. He recognized the fact that a conference at this time was impossible, but expressed he hope that " an interchange of views would clear the way at least for a confer ence.' Germany refuses all inter- change of views, and returns to the text of he note of Dec. 12, which con- tained the proposal of the Teatonic powers to enter forthwith in:o peace negotiation"
 The British Government through it's Prime Minister has already made it's response to this suggestion. Mr. Lloyd Gaorge in his speech to the House of Commons declared emphati- eally that
 "ro enter, on the invitation of Ger many, proclaiming herself victorious, without any knoweldge of the proposals she intends to make into a conference, IS putting our heads into a moose with tho rope end in the hands of the Ger mans"
 Net in reply to the Presidents re- quest for terms, the German Govern meat goes no further than to renew a proposal which it knows has been rejected. In renewing this proposal it formally excludes all neutral Govern ments from such a conference and inferen.ially asserts that they are not concerned with the kind of peace that the billegerents may choose to make.
 President Wilson in his note of Dec. IS spoke as "the representative of a neutral Nation whose interests have been most seriously affected by the war and whose concern for its early con- clusioa arises out of a manifest ne- cessity to determine how to safe guard those interests if the war is to continue" Germany's reply makes certain a continuance of the war. The Ualted States most assuredly will not ask Great Britian and France to enter a peace conference beaten and blndfolded, to learn in the dark what terms of peace a Germany conscious of victory" is prepared to impose. Nor can it ask friendly Governments to give serious consideration to a pro- posal which they have already form
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-03-24

The Public Health Service, which 1 has apparently undertaken to subject 1 American nervousness to federal reg
 ulation, issues the following bulletin
 against worry as cause of neuras-
 thenia and kindred disases of the strenuous life:
 So far as is known, no bird ever l tried to build more nests than it's neighbor; no fox ever fretted because he had only one hole in which to hide; no squirrel ever died of anxiety lest he should not lay by enough nuts for two winters instead of for one, and no dog ever lost any sleep over the fact that he did not have enough bones laid aside for his declining years.
 Dogs worry more or less about the moon, and the bulletin takes no note of insomnia in cats; but generally speaking. it aptly contracts the con- ditioHs of animal and human life. Dogs show no concern as to where the next bone is coming from, and it is precisely because man does worry over that fact, because he wants to assure himself a regular food supply and keep a permanent roof over his head. that he has advanced where the fox and the dog and the squirrel have not.
 Worry enabled man to emerge from his cave dwelling and worry. different only in degree but not in kind, estab- hshed him in steam heated flats and luxurious mansions If he ever wants to return to conditions of life undre which he will be brother to the birds and boon companion with the dog. ha

ally rejected but which is renewed in the disguise of an answer to President Wilson's request for terms.
 In the light of Germanys reply to he President, 1t is impossible to be- lieve that ther1 was either honesty or sincerity of purpose back of the orig inal peace proposals. It is plain enough now that he Presidents action stripped off the German mask and that Inc whole proceeding was Q game in vented in Berlin for the propitiation of neutrals for the further bedeyilmen. of German public opinion.
 Had Germany's peace overtures been made in good faith. the Imperial Government would have met the Pres ident halfway with a statement of terms tha: the allies could not have rejeced out of hand but to which they would have been compelled to give consideration. That would have opened the door to further negotiation and eventually to conference. h. stead, the German Foreign Office has has abruptly closed the door and left no basis for further discussions
 So far as the United States is con cerned, the hands of the clock have been turned back ta Dec. IS, and the Government at Washington is again confronted with "a manifest necessity to determine how to safeguard those interests if the war is to continue"
