German Los. 10 $1,000 Men.

An inkling of the German losses
is given in the utterance Of the
French Premier at the session Of
Council Ministers, at which General
Foch was made Marshal Of the French
Republic. "Thirty-hve thausand pris.
oners and seven hundred guns have
been counted" he said. Much inter
est attaches to the situation on the
British front. where the Germans
have been making Withdrawals.

OCALA'S AVIATOR
Lieut.. Olaf Zewadsh Flying Over
the TeutOn Lines
(Times-U nion)

Times Union)
The many friends here of Lieut..
Olaf B. Zewadski will be pleased to
learn that he has landed safely in
France. Lieut.. Zewadski is an Ocala
boy, but was residing in Jacksonville
at the time he enlisted in the army.
He is the son of w. K. Zewadsk of
0eala, one of the best known attor-
neys in the state.
Young Zewadski enlisted in Com
pany A, First Florida infantry, short
ly after the outbreak of the war, but
just before his regiment left for
Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ca, he was
detached and sent to Fort Sill, Okla,
for training as an aerial observer.
Following his training period he was
commissioned lieutenant in the avi-
alton section of the signal corps, and
was Immediately ordered to France
for duty with the expeditionary
forces.
1t is understood that he has al
ready made number of flights over
the German lines.
At the time of his enlistment he
was an attache of the business Office
of the Times Union.

vented any of the sudden or involun
tary movements, that would have
caused them pain.
Another little fellow had diseased
bone in his right leg, and would have
been cripple for life. The surgeon
removed the diseased part of the
bone, and healthy bone will grow into
its place.
Most of the patients, of course, are
little children. There are two cases,
however, that are exceptions. One a
boy of 10 or more; one q girl of Ia.
The boy is a vigorous youth, already
efficient at his trade, and ready TO go
into the army as soon as he is needed
But he has trouble that rendered
him useless at times, and might have
ended his life at any time. The girl,
almost well enough developed to be-
young woman, and smart enough to
be one, had an ailment that was sap
ping her life. Neither could be called
a charity patient, yet neither was
fully able TO pay for treatment. They
could pay something, so the state
gave them some help, operations
were performed, and now they are
hopefully waiting to get wen; the boy
anxious to resume his work, and the
girl, a very bright scholar in her
school, counting the days to the time
when she can again take up her
studies.
Surely it is worth something to the
state of Florida to help this boy and
girl to become two very useful people.
During the reporters visit, the res
ident physician of the state board
took him around to see the various
patients, all of whom plainly showed
that they depended on the doctor as
"a feeble person leans on a strong
staff. The physician said that a
healthy and intelligent man or woman
was worth at least $4,000 to the state,
and the newspaper man agreed with
him.

America Now Leads in Toys.

"American manufacturers are max.
ing 80 per cent of the toys being sold
in this country today, and they are
never going to let this wonderful and
profitable industry which has been de-
veloped since the war to slip out Of
their hands,"
That statement was made by VIII
liam G. Whittemore, manager Of the
stationery and novelty department Of
the American News Company, says the
New York Journal Of Commerce. Mr..
Whittemore was in Germany when war
WAS declared, buying toys for his con-
Germ. This was before the war, one
of his duties, but it Is doubtful If such
q trip will ever be necessary after
peace is declared, because Of the fact
that the American toy manufacturer
has taken hold Of his problem with
such aptitude and facility.

1EUT0N BOAST D|sPR0VED
ONLY ONE-EIGHTH OF WORLDS
SHIPS SENT DOWN BY U-BOATS.
British Lord Of Admiralty Makes
Commons, Covering Whole
Whole Period OF War.

London, March 21.-The total net
losses of Allied and neutral shipping
from the beginning of. the war to
Dec. 81, 1917, were only per cent of
the total tonnage, which was 33,000,-
900, Sir Eric Geddes, first lord Of the
admiralty, declared in the house OF
commons.
Geddes' statement is frank ad.
mission that, despite the building
activities of Allies and neutrals, they
have 8 per cent, or more than $780,
900 tons, less shipping now than at
the start of the war. He said the
worlds tonnage, exclusive of enemy
owned vessels, had fallen by 2,500,000
tons up to Dec. 81, 1917. He said the
Germans claim to have sunk $500, 000
tons from the beginning of the war
to Dec. 81. The actual loss, he said
was only 100000.
The total output of shipping during
the last quarter of 1917 was 100000
tons, compared with $4,000 tons dur
ing the corresponding period Of 1916
Geddes said shipbuidling amounted
to only $4,000 tons in January and
100000 In February of this year. He
said he hoped these figures would
make employers and workmen realize
their responsibility.

It was the first of a series of meet

It was stated after the meeting that

matters touching more than one phase
