prove upon football playing reputa-
ton already established before he join
ed the cadet ranks. Oliphant was a
terror when carrying the ball, being
exceedingly hard to tackle, due to his
elusive lodging and footwork, and
still harder to stop once he was in the
clutches of the tackler. He was equal
ly good in rounding the end with or
without interference and could pick a
hole in the line and smash or slip
through with almost uncanny ability.
Once loose in broken field he was one
of the hardest players of the modern
game to stop, as scores of opponents
have testified.
Oliphant was captain of the 1917
academy football team, and also the
leader of this seasons. baseball team,
although he did not take part in many
games owing to the intensive training
and scholastic work made necessary
by the fact that the class is to be
graduated almost two months ahead
of the regular schedule. When Oil
plant enters the army he will be the
wearer of the "Edgerton Sabre, :"
awarded each year to the outgoing
football captain. This is one of the
most valued trophies awarded at West
point and it is the opinion among Oil
plants classmates that no cadet was
ever worthier of the honor.

PRESIDENT
ADDRESSING
CONGRESS
ON WAR REVENUES
TO-DAY
SAYS new GERMAN DRIVE
HAS BEGUN!

Washington, May 27.-President
Wilson addressed joint session Of
congress at 10 O'Clock today on the
subject of war revenues.
The president took charge of the
war tax legislation tangle when he
unexpectedly appeared today before
the joint session of congress.
He declared that it was necessary TO
proceed Immediately with the new
war tax laws, and said there was no
way to meet the problem of financing
the war except for congress to remain
in session and go ahead at once with
the legislation.
The principal increases in taxations
the president said, should be on in
comes, war profits, and Injuries. It
would be manifestly unfair, he said,
to wait until 1919 Notwithstanding
what the new taxes would be. In
specific terms the president warned
against lobbying in connection with
the new bill and appealed to congress
to approach the great task without
selfishness or fear Of, political conse-
quences, saying there need be no hes
itancy in taxing thee sntrv if it were
taxed justly.
The president unexpectedly made q
brief extemporaneous statement, say
ing that he had heard, as he was leav-
ing the White House, that the new
German drive apparently had begun,
and that it added to the solemnity Of
his conception of the country's duty

BOYS WANTED SOME BEER

The New York Times tells the fol-
lowing regarding a shipload &c Am
erican soldiers VINO arrived in that
port Wednesday:
The first to arrive was the White
Star liner Lapland, with 2O30 officers
and men, and some casuals. She had
just got to the head of Pier so, North
river, when the transport George
Washington pulled out from Pier on
the opposite shore with President
Wilson on board. When the soldiers
OH deck heard the salutes from the
five destroyers in the river they
cheered enthusiastically for the presi
dent and the band played the national
anthem Although it was the second
transport to arrive with troops re-
turning to be mustered out, the men
were welcomed just as heartily as
those who got in Monday on the Maui
retania They were met at quaran-
tine by Grover Whalen, secretary OF
the mayor who conveyed greetings on
behalf of the city. All the way up the
harbor the passing craft saluted the
soldiers cheerily an noisily.
Later. when Acting Police Commits
sioner John A. Leach was introduced
to them, he asked if there was any
thing he could do to make them happy
in New York, the soldiers yelled,
"You bet there is; tell them to open
up the town and let US have some
good beer"

OCbLl OCCURRENCES

Sometimes we think as we watch
the movies that they are or should be
great antidotes to unsophistication.
Such a movie was that, "The Beloved
Adventures" which was shown at
the Temple last night. Seeing it
should eradicate in any girl several
different kinds of blamefoolishness.
However, there are several of them
born every minute. The Official War
Review will be seen this evening, and
very live wild west story, "The
Long Chance" in which Frank Kee-
nan, the well-known cowboy star, will
shine.

Herbert Brooks, one of Ocala's col

cord, reached home this week. He
went to Camp Dix six months ago,
and did so well that he was sent to
the central officers training school at
Camp Pike. The end of the war prob
ably prevented his obtaining a COM
mission but he comes home honorably
discharged with the stripes of first
sergeant on his sleeve and sharp
shooters badge on his breast. His
friends are giving him warm well

Joe Hunter and his little Buick. an
old colored man named Pinkey and
his horse and wagon, had bad mix
up out ON the Silver Springs road
last evening. Hunter was coming
into town in an awful and probably
unnecessary hurry, and near the GEM
.etery he struck Pinkey's wagon,
smashing it, throwing the old man
several feet and hurting him badly
and breaking the lamps on the car.
Hunter, who is an inexperienced driv-
er, was badly frightened and didn't
know what to do, but Mr.. John Mar
tin luckily came along and straight
ened out the mess. The old man was
sent to the colored hospital. where he
is recovering from his injuries.

London, August o0-Premier David Lloyd George at luncheon given today by the government in honor of Samuel Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, proposed toast to the health of the labor leader, who is vis- iting England.
 T do this for two reasons" said Mir. Lloyd George. "One of these is the coun- try from which our guest comes-a coun- try cradled and nurtured on freedom. Ii now has proved itself true to the great traditions of being the champion and the protector of freedom. In this updertak- ing it has placed the whole of it's re- sources at the disposal of the allies in the great struggle for liberty.
 Therefore" he continued, i've salute the flag of that glorious land of Amer ica.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
 |TO BE OBSERVED AT LOCAL SYNAG0GUES

Beginning next Friday at sundown Jews throughout the world will observe the holiday of Rosh Hashana. or New Year, which will last for two days. The observance of this holiday will be ushered by a cessation from work. Business places owned by Jews will be closed. Appropriate services will be held morn ings and evenings at all synagogues, and at many temporary places of worship, the number of worshipers generally in- creasing on this holiday, owing to the importance and solemnity of this occa- sion. Special sermons telling you the meaning of the religious occasion will be preached.
 The 10 days of penitence begin on Rosh Hashana and ends or Tom kippur, which marks the eliminating point of these religious days, and is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a season when the Jew feels keenly the appeal of his religion, and he responds to it's call. ~
 The significance of this holiday lies in the fact that traditionally it commem- crates the creation of the world, the New Year being the 5673 since creation though the observance is commanded in the blDle also. Y uIlIci IaOICy VI d0AeAOhA S<&AAS this holiday "a day of judgment be- cause God judges the world and decrees the fate of every individual on New Year. The sounding of the Shofar in the course of the morning services con- stitutes the most prominent feature of the observance. However, this ceremony is omitted on a Sabbath day.
 The religious ideas that are brought home to the Jew on New Year are of primary importance. His attention is turned to his moral and religious prog ress; he is to make, as it were, an ln- ventory of the status of his religious life It is an occasion of introspectlon and self-examination. The smallness and weakness of man and the greatness and power of God is the, theme of most of the prayers rec!ted at the services. The ideas of repentance and forgiveness, of self-improvement, both in relation to God and to our fellow men, of implicit faith Tn God, is His justice and mercy, and or His benign providence-are all inculcated during the penitential season.
 At the Knesseth Israel synagogue, cor ner Seventh avenue and Seventeenth street, appropriate services will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 o'clock, and Saturday and Sunday morn ings at ' o'clock. Rabbi Jacob I. Men delsohn will preach.
