WILL GO SECRETLY

1t is pretty evident that the people
Of this country are not quite satisfied
with the announced determination of
the government not to permit any re-
port whatever of the movement of
troops with relation to this war.
When England began the mobiliza-
ion of her first armies, secrecy of
movement was strictly enjoined The
parks of London might be filled for
days with active and excited men
from the provincial towns, drilling,
working, seeing the town and getting
acquainted, and then suddenly the
people who lived near the parks
would wake up some morning to find
that all the troops had moved with
the silentness and swiftness of the
Arab had gone without a good bye,
without notice, to some place undes-
ignated and unknown.
During the years of the war the
English people have rather gotten
used to letting troops get away to
the front without having chance to
say the good-byes.
And that is what is stirring some
of the people of this country. They
do not like the notion that troops
that may be here today, may tomor
row, without warning to friends and
relatives, be upon the high seas and
on for the war fronts.
There are some very weighty pro.
tests being lodged against what an.
pears to be very cold-blooded prop.

1t is said that the peopla of the Uni.

spectacle of hundreds of thousands
being embarked for the European

TWO GOOD STORIES

St. Petersburg Independent: AT
the meeting of the County guards, in
Williams park Thursday night,
Col. F.. J. Mack told two good stor-
les. He said:
Down at Boca Grande, few days
since, several fishermen who were un-
educated and lived out of touch with
the world. knowing little of either
ancient or modern history, got hold
of an old newspaper, published before
war was declared. 1t was about the
time that the subs were sinking ships
The headline on the first page read
War between United States and
Germany Seems Certain. One old
man could read and was reading
aloud to the others. He read that
headline and then, splitting out half
a pint of tobacco juice he said
" BY heck, I'll bet yer. if the Uni
ted States does 60 to war with Ger
many that, by heck, Florida sides
with the United States "
The other story concerned couple
of friends of Col Mack who were,
driving through Kansas in Ford
They ran out of water for the radia-
tor and stopped at farm house
where they filled the radiator with
water from well. They saw q lot
of fine hogs in the yard and noticed
that every now and then the hogs
would run to an oak tree, gather
round it and look up in an expectant
manner. Then they would run to an
other tree and look up. Then men
could not understand what it wass all
about and why the hogs continued to
run from one tree to another. look
ing up into the branches Finally the
owner of the place showed up and
the men, after thanking him for the
water, asked what caused the hogs to

used to call them to feed by slapping
a board on the top rail of the fence,
quickly and sharply. several times,
and they learned that as a signal for
feeding Now the woodpeckers have
those hogs crazy"
Col. Mack said that the woodpeck
ers had us crazy and running about
peering up into trees, in fgurative
sense, too many persons being en-
gagged in trying to fool the people and
put over some pet scheme to reform
the world. Col. Mack plead for san
lty and union and urged that we all
drop our pet scheme for reformation
and work to win this war.
