SOLDIER Who CAME

An odd construction to the play
The Soldier Who Came Back" which
comes TO the Opera House tonight is
what the dramatist virtually has
given the story two leading men. Both
Of these characters are returned"
soldiers Both have reached the rank
OF Lieutenant The men do not clash
over sweethearts, however, as the
author sensibly and with evident sym
pathy for returned" men has very
graciously provided a pretty girl for
each. These girls are very opposite
in character as well as in station. yet
each has her good side.
One of these women takes her life
in her own hands to assist in run
ming down the German spies, the
other sacrifices what she had reasons
to believe at the outset would lead to
a social career to become a war bride
before the Iieutenant's return to the

D. W. Tiedeman, United States
public health officer here has written
every merchant engaged in the sale OF
food here asking that clerks who
sneeze during working hours be re-
strained from selling food to the pub
lc.- The request is tantamount to an
order, as it is made in the interest Of
the public health, and is part Of the
campaign designed to eliminate "tiu .

chants who received these letters will,
therefore comply strictly with the re-
quest. and the clerk who happens TO
have a cold is slated for a vacation.

BOND QUOTA NOT

COUNCIL WIRES
STATE OFFICIALS
PEOPLE HERE MUST "DIG IN" AND
BUY BONDS IN LARGE AMOUNTS
If COUNTY is TO GO "OVER THE
TOP" BEFORE END OF CAMPAIGN
WOMEN HAVE DONE SPLENDID
WORK.

The various committees of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign held a
joint meeting in the auditorium Of
Carnegie Library yesterday afternoon,
with Chairman Lee G. Council presid-
ing. 1t developed at the meeting that
subscriptions, totalling only s125,O0O
had been received, and that Sumter'a
quota of $247,O00 is yet far from in
hand.
The work Of the committees and
the progress of the campaign in the
various districts was discussed in de-
taii by the members of the commits
tees, each district being represented,
except Plains and Leslie. AS regards
Plains, however, 1t was announced
tha. district would subscribe its full
quota, and that the subscriptions
would be in hand before the next
meeting of the committee Tuesday
afternoon
Several of the committees present
reported that influential and wealthy
taxpayers in their districts had taken
only normal amounts, Of the bonds,
and this elected the information that
a representative of the government
has been assigned to Sumter county
to assist in the campaign. 1t will
be the duty of this representative,
who is connected with the department
of justice to acquaint the federal au-
thorities with the names of all those
who fail to buy bonds as well as to
investigate the financial standing Of
all who fail to buy amounts deemed
sufficient by the various committees.
This information will be transmitted
to Washington, and after being re
viewed there action will be taken
thereon.
The womens committee, of which
Mrs. Frank Harold is chairman, re-
ported subscriptions totalling one
hundred and sixteen thousand dollars,
and these with all other subscriptions
in the county make only a little less
than half the quota that must be sub
scribed. One large subscription re-
ceived by the ladies was that Of Judge
James A. Hixon who took ten thous-
and dollars in bonds through Mrs. c.
J. sherIock's committee, and anot'
er large subscription, the amount of
which. was not given, but which
swelIed the report of Mrs. John Sheffi-
eld's report to nearly sixty thousand
dollars, taken by Lee G. Council.
Cordial enthusiasm marked the
meeting. and all present were i'm
pressed with the urgent necessity for
working continually in the interest

GERMAN INFLUENCE MAKES
TROUBLE In MEXICAN CITY

Washington, April 5.-Resenting an
effort by American Consul Simpich to
enforce the instructions of the State
Department regarding prevention of
trade with blacklisted firms, Mexican
officials at Guaymas have not only
cancelled his exequatur but that of
the British consul there as we'll, ac-
cording to word received here today.
The Mexicans are said to hold the
British official responsible for insti-
eating the American consul to pre-
vent the landing of goods from an
American vessel consigned to a Quay
mas firm whose name appears on the
blacklist.
Officials here believe German influ-
ences In Guaymas inspired the Mexi-
can authorities and that a protest to
the national authorities in Mexico
Cits will be sufficient to protect the
consuls in the execution of their du-
ties.

WARNING, GIRLS!
MAY BE ARRESTED

1t is a violation or United States
army and navy regulations for any
person not in the military service or
the country to wear any part OF an
army or navy uniform. Word has gone
forth that this regulation will be
strictly enforced, and all volators are
subject to arrest, regardless Of posi-
ton or sex.
Even the wearing of button or
chevron from the coat or blouse Of a
United States soldier or sailor Is a
violation Of the law. Girls are more
likely to offend in this particular than
boys or men. When their soldier
sweetheart, brother or friends sends
them a button they are tempted to
wear 1t, and for this reason this
word Of warning Ia particularly ad-
dressed to girls.
Uncle Sam does not trifle, especial
ly in war time, and local people In
possession of ANY part Of uniform
are warned against wearing 1t, under
penalty of the embarrassment Of ar
rest and possible Imprisonment.

Bunting was faunteed to the breeze

When the visitors arrived at the
field they were met at the gate by a
sentry who examined their passes be-

that her are twelve hangers with a

chimes to the number of fifty were

furher than safety to the machines
would allow. They could go to the
hangers and look In but not enter.

The way the autos were lined up

that is was indeed circus day. There
were hundreds of cars lined up out
side the gates as none were allowed
to nter.
While the visitors were there two
machines made flights to Dorr Field
and returned. The machines also
went through numerous and divers
manoeuvers to the pleasure and edi-

Mechanics were busy assembling
and tuning up machines and the field
was veritable hive of industry. This
work was very interesting to those
of mechanical turn of mind.

there are about 700 men Of different

faced. A recent scheme to shorten
this route by about Is miles, making
the road very direct between the two
cities, is being fostered. This will ne
oessitate using ferry across the Ca
loosahatchee river at Fort Myers. Lee

road from Fort Myers to Marco,
which completes the southwark Sec

"At Marco, where the eastward
course begins, the work assumes q
different aspect. Dredges are at work
and marked Improvement is noted;
out the building of this roadway
through the Everglades is a mammoth
undertaking. Besides the countless
benefits which will grow out of this
cross-state road, connecting Miami
with the West Coast, the work of re-
claiming the Everglades is receiving
its greatest impetus from the building
of this highway, The last "a miles of
this Trail, that leading into Miami,
will be absolutely straight-not
curve nor an angle in the due east
course.
Those who eventually drive over
this highway will no doubt be
charmed by the novel experience of
driving through what has once been
impossible jungle and forest; but no
one who enjoys finished product can
fully appreciate the energy which has
made the product what it is. Those
who drive over this highway will not
be able to adequately conceive the
effort expended, the discouragements
met and overcome, the innumerable
hardships daily encountered, and the
will power and determination neces-
sary to carry so great an undertake
