With the Canadian Forces,

My Dear Friend: l am glad to say
that / am feeling "pretty fit" again
with the exception of little stiffness
in my unlucky knee.
| was sent back to my battalion af-
ter few. weeks rest, but our medi-
cal officer did not think that was fit
for much active service, and | was
again sent out of the line and attach
ed to the Y. M. C. A. branch of the
Canadian Corps.
I am delighted with my new work.
I am in charge of the equipment de-
partment, have a very comfortable
Office and billet in large French
town. We are doing wonderful work
for the Canadian soldiers, and have
over sixty camps where we furnish
them with every comfort and recrea-
tion possible, free of any charge. Our
library and theater branch are in sep
arate buildings from our canteens.
Here we give them the best of litera-
ture and furnish them daily cinema

Canada -o
Our athletic branches furnish COM
plete cricket, Lacrosse, tennis, foot
ball, baseball outfits and boxing
gloves to all Canadian units. 1t keeps
us rather busy but we all enjoy the
work.
The joke books arrived sometime
ago and were placed in our hospital
library at the base, where they were
read and enjoyed by thousands OF
British tommies, Canadians, New
Zealanders, Australians and others
There were quite number of scrap
or clipping books sent to US from
Canada, but none of them were near
Ily so nice or neat as those make by
the six little Ocala girls.
Have seen a number of American
soldiers over here but none from
Florida thus far. They are still ir
training and have not gone into the
trenches.

RAILROAD HEARING
STATE STATE COMMISSION WILL PASS ON THE CASE TO-
MORROW AFTERNOON

The state railroad commission act
ed with commendable promptness in
the Ocklawaha Valley railroad mat
ter. Yesterday afternoon, the rail-
road received the following dispatch:
Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. II.
Ocklawaha Valley r. R. Co.,
Ocala, Florida.
You are hereby notified that the
railroad commissioners of the state of
Florida will hold hearing on your
petition to discontinue service on
Wednesday, Nov. 18th, at 2 o'clock, in
the afternoon at the courthouse in
Ocala, Florida, at which time you and
all other interested parties will be
heard.
By order of the railroad commits

Chairman earn of the committee to
oppose suspending operations of the
road, and other officials, received SIM
liar kilograms The result will be a
UlCOLlIlS d1IO1tIOO1ly az
which as many as possible of our citi-
zens and those of Palatka, Orange
Springs, Fort Mccoy and other places
affected should be present.
The decision of the railroad COM
mission can't be foreshadowed.- There
is no doubt that the people in the ter
ritory affected have a right to demand
4Lo 1.n4I ho 1zn,a4 The
railroad commission, however, must
decide matters from a commercial
rather than judicial standpoint.
There is no doubt that the road has
been losing money, and in case its
managers can show that they have no
means of making expenses, the COM
mission may find itself obliged to
grant their request.
In this case, the proper procedure
will be to take an injunction and car.
ry the case into the courts. If moth
ing else can be done, the road can be
placed in the hands of receiver, who
will keep it running until it is placed
on a paying basis again.
The Star has taken no part in the
recrimination of either side because it
has friends on both sides, and doesn't
want to foster i'll feelings. We think
good feeling more likely to bring
about an advantageous arrangement
The people along the line of the road
have an undoubted right to have ii
kept in operation. It's suspension
would damage them all and ruin
many. It would hurt Ocala, Palatka
and their counties.
On the other hand, the people who
own the railroad are not responsible
for present conditions. IL they are
losing money, nobody should blame
them for wanting to stop the loss
Anybody else would.
/ Messrs. Hollinrake and Macdonald
have assured the Star that no orders
have been received to tear up the
road; also that the road has not re
fused any freight, except that of the
Rodman Lumber Company, which
would not load its cars according tt
demands made on the road by its con
INJECTIONS We see~no reason to doub
the word of Messrs Hollinrake ant
Macdonald. They have lived in Ocal;
a number of years and proven them
i selves good citizens and are as mucl
entitled to belief as anyone.

JAMES DUNDAS IS
DISCHARGED FRIDAY
IN A LIQUOR CASE
Is Arraigned Before Judge Lam
caster on Charge of Search
and Seizure, to Which He
Pleads Not Guilty and Salts
= fies the Court that the Liquor
Was for His Own Use and Not
. Intended for Sale

James Dundas of Togus, whose place
on the Thomaston road was visited on
Thursday evening by Deputy Sheriffs
Bullock and Dutton, and some liquor
seized, was arraigned Friday morning
before Judge Lancaster of the munich
pal court. on a charge of search and
seizure. The respondent was repre-
scented by Herbert Locke and entered
a plea Of not guilty.
The testimony of the Sheriffs told of
their going to the Dundas place and
being obliged to break open the door
of the house in order to gain an en-
trance; that after getting inside they
went upstairs and found the respon-
dent lying on a bed. with a bottle of
whiskey on stand beside the bed.
1t also came out that there was no fire
in the house. They also told of find
ing the whiskey that they brought into
town with them.
Dundas claimed in his story to the
court that he had been away from
home since Thanksgiving and had re-
turned the Saturday before New
Years, having received telegram
that his wife was ill; that he had
bought four quarts of whiskey in Bos-
ton for his own use, Of which that
seized by the deputies was part.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
respondent was discharged on the
ground that the court did not feel that
under the circumstances the liquor
was intended for sale.

hearing of five weeks in which minority
stockholders opposed continuance of the

able motives in asserting to the credit
