GoUernment finally Awake to Necessity
 Of @ Greater Care

Though Engaged in War With Relentless Nation, Federal Authorities Have Been Admittedly Lax in Guarding Sources of Military h.
 formation and in Taking Action to
 Prevent Transmission to Enemy

grain of salt Your newspapers have sunk very large fleet of submarines dur ing the four weeks I have been here. Every gunner who fires at periscope and can see no periscope after the splash of the shell thinks he has sunk a subma- rine will give a little instructive and perfectly true story on this point A certain man-o'-war reported that it had fired on German submarine and sunk 1t. Ar English submarine which was in exactly the same location on the same day reported that he had been fired on by a German battleship and had dived and escaped it. I fear that these con- stant illusory sinkings of submarines may check American inventive effort, on which the allies rely so greatly.

BATTLE WAS PLANNED

The whole action here, as at other points in this battle on the 11-mile front, was not a mere trench raid, but "a! e. fully planned attempt by the Germans to reconquer the Chemin des- Dames to whose loss they cannot reconcile them selves. The nature of the attack is proved by the fact that the German in fantrymen carried into battle their whole equipment and several days rations, and they evidently were confident Of sue cess.
 Hundreds of their dead many of whom were youths of the 1916 class lie with packs still strapped on their backs in front of the French lines and in the shell craters. The French commanding off, cers are enthusiastic about the undinniII- ished dash and vigor of their men, which they regard as largely attributable to the moral aid provided by the arrival of American troops in France and the Rus sian forward movement in Galicia.
 The commanding general declared to the Associated Press that the presence of the American fighting men not only encouraged the French soldiers in the ranks. but also their commanders

OBTAINED SMALL FOOTING

Infantrymen, notwithstanding the se- verity of the French cannonadng, sue ceeded in crossing the intervening space and obtained footing in the French trenches at few points. The defenders, composed of regiments from southern France, who had originally captured the position, were determined to maintain their hold. They immediately counter at- tackled and everywhere elected the Ger mans. They impetuously advanced and captured several German trenches, which tfaoH. ati hnIl

WARNED FOR YEARS

We had been warned for years that the country was full of German spies but did not believe 1t. Germans were ad-
 mitted to our clubs. went about among us and seemed very friendly. At the out break of war we found that we had been entertaining several battalions of spies. I remember the sight that went on day after day in London just before the out break of war when they swarmed to the German consulate to get their passports

OIL ENGINE IS IN
QUIET OPERATION
Expert from the DeLaVerge Plant
Plant Demonstrates that He
Kenw What He was About

Under the direction of Mr.. Writ,
the expert from the DeLaVerge fac
tory, the muffier on the oil engine was
put in operation this morning. The
muffier did just what he said it would
do-the engine is running so quietly
that it can't be heard off its own
block.
Unwilling to trust his own hearing,
the reporter called on Mrs. Bittinger,
who lives near the works and has
suffered greatly from the noise of the
engines exhaust. At the time the re-
porter called, the engine had been
running for several hours, and she
had not heard it, and was much graft
fed to learn the excruciating racket
had been cut off.
Now that the noise nuisance has
been abolished, the engine is all
right. It is powerful piece of ma
chinery, and can be run at less ex-
pense than any other motor that can
be put in. The merit of this engine
is proven by the fact that the United
States government has taken over
the entire output Of its big factory
near New York.
The big steam engine at the plant
will also be in operation in a day or
two.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID

A Star reporter this morning ran
across the report that cases of ty-
phoid in the city had been caused by
ice from Taylor's factory.
AS the reporter knew Taylor's fac
tory not only uses evaporated water,
but is under government inspection,
the government taking part of the
output, he didn't see how the story
could be true, but to make certain he
called up the city physician, who re-
piled that there had been only four
cases of typhoid in Ocala this year,
and they had all been traced to causes
out of town.
The story confutes itself. If there
was typhoid in the ice, Ocala people
would die like flies.

The secretary pays tribute to the
marine corps which has lived up to its
best traditions, he says, as will be
shown when the war is over. The ma
rine regiment in France, he says, will
soon be considerably augmented in it's
service with General Pershing's army.
Development of naval aircraft has
been remarkable, the secretary says,
due largely to the success of the Lib
erty motor.
''It may be stated with confidence" !"
he says, "that at the present moment
we have an American flying boat &C,
tually flying with an American en-
gine which is unexcelled by any for
eign craft"
The secretary discloses the fact
that American coast patrol stations
have been authorized abroad and will
be in operation next year, but gives
no details.

Plenty of Other Vacancies
A NOBLE GIRL APPRECIATED

Editor Star: The undersigned who
is nearing his three score years and
ten wants the name of that Ocala girl
who is going to sacrifice the pleasure
of receiving Christmas gifts and is
going to give gifts to our soldier
boys. We would like to cherish the
name of such patriotic girl and then
we want our grandson, who is doing
his "bit" for his country, to meet her
when he comes home with pride and
honor because of the noble work he
has done for his country. The Sun
day school of which / am a member
will send Christmas boxes to each
member of our school in camp and
then make a Christmas offering for
the sufferers beyond the great waters
instead of Christmas tree and gifts
to our home folks. Patriot.

CATS VISITED THE CAMP
Says Conditions are Improving but
Advocates Recuperating Hos
pital for the Sick

Macon, Ca, Dec. 10.-Governor
Sidney J. Cats, of Florida, visited
Camp Wheeler and the base hospital
yesterday. He said that conditions
were improving rapidly, but declared
that there should be a recuperating
camp for the sick soldiers.
'I am going to Washington" hc
said, "to suggest that these sick sol
diers be placed in a recuperating hos
pital four miles from Tampa. I have
found some cases where men were
returned to the ranks from the base
hospital when they were not fit for
service"
Doctors at the base hospital state
that no men are sent directly from
their sick beds to their company, but
are placed in recuperating tents and
gradually fitted for service before be-
ing discharged from the hospital. The
cold weather has caused little suffer
ing in the camp, according to infor-
nation obtained this afternoon. The
temperature dropped below 80 de-
grees during the night.
All men have winter clothing over
coats and heavy underwear. Water
pipes to the mess halls and to the
bath houses have been cut off to pre-
vent freezing, but the main water
system is kept open for fire protec-
ton.
There were no deaths during the
night, but three occurred during yes
terday, all from pneumonia.
