GILBERT PROCTOR

The Star is grieved to announce the
death of one of our country's brave
young defenders, Sergeant Gilbert
Proctor of Company A, both Infan-
try.
Sergeant Proctor was a Marion
county boy, born and raised in the
Fort Mccoy and Eureka neighbor-
hood. He was "a years old. He en-
listed in the regular army three years
ago, and after seeing service on the
border was sent with his company to
Fort Smelling. His promotion in so
short time shows he was good sol
der. A few months ago he married
a young lady whose home was near
Fort Smelling, and he now mourns for
him with his Florida relatives and
friends.
The remains of Sergeant Proctor
has been shipped from Fort Smelling,
but it is not known exactly when they
will arrive here. His brothers and sis
tiers are in the city, at the home of
Mrs. Ernest Blair, waiting the arrival
of the body, which will be laid to rest
in the family cemetery at Fort Nc
Coy.
Sergeant Proctor was a son of Mrs.
Ella Proctor. His death is mourned
by his young wife, his widowed moth
er, his sisters, Misses Donnie and
Willie, three brothers, Guylan, Carlos
and Simmie, and many friends not
only around his boyhood home but in
many other parts of the county.
A telegram from Fort Smelling to-
day announced the remains would be
here April l.

The Star is sorry to hear of the bad
behavior of certain folks near the
north Ocala school. The teachers and
pupils of that institution have taken
great pride in fixing up their school
grounds nicely. Every Saturday and
Sunday lately, the school has been
visited by boys or young men who
have acted the vandals in regard to
the environs. They should be looked
after and jailed.

BAKERS LICENSES
ARE SUSPENDED
Two Shops Closed Three
Days for Violating Wheat
Substitute Regulation.

Failure to comply strictly with the
baking regulations Of the food admin
istration has caused Niosi Brothers. 20
H street northeast. and Kyvellos & Tou-
gias. 632 o street, to have their baking
licenses suspended for three days. An
nouncement to this effect was made by
the District food administration today.
after the accused bakers were given a
hearing.
Both penalized bakers were charged
with making bread without the re-
Quired amount Of wheat flour substitute.
Their respective bakeries were closed
this morning and will not be permitted
to open again until Thursday morning.
The inspector In these cases reported
that the accused men were not using
more than 20 per cent substitute with
their wheat flour. instead of IS per cent
substitute, as required by the regula-
tons.
Another local baker who was given a
hearing at the administration on sim
liar charges furnished satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION and was not penalized.
The baking division Of the local ad-
ministration reported today that it has
completed the personal inspection Of
each one of the 120 licensed bakeries
In Washington, and that with but few
exceptions this trade is giving loyal
support and cooperation to the local
administration.

DRAFTING BOYS OF

Continued from First Page.)

over thirty-one years of age before
one. then it is quite likely that the
students will be able to stay at their
respective schools and colleges until
they are nineteen or twenty. In some
cases, especially students Of medicine
and certain sciences. the boys will be
permitted to graduate even though 1t
takes them beyond twenty-one.
1t was contemplated originally to
induct them on reaching the age of
twenty-one and then grant furloughs
to those whose standing was sufti-
GENTLY high to warrant keeping them
at school, but with the change in the
draft law all boys of eighteen will be
automs .ically inducted into the serv-
ice and will be subject to the call of
the War Department at such time as
1t is deemed proper to interrupt their
education or graduate them. If phys
ically unfit for active service they will
be permitted. of course. to stay at
school or college.
Congress will decide all these ques-
tions, to be sure, but will be guided
by the recommendations of the execu-
tive braEAh of the government, and
the plan sketched above represents
about what is contemplated. 1t is
the most feasible scheme which COM
wanted to see the colleges preserved
and the military authorities who
wanted to make officers to replace
the many men with college degrees
who will have been killed or wounded
each wear. The college men of the
country are now officers. but as the
casualties increase. provision must be
made to replace them. The War De-
partment is acting on the problem
none too soon.

MIRBACH'S ASSASSINS
HID GUNS UNDER TABLE
Correspondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press
AMSTERDAM. July 10-Russians
who assassinated Gen. Won Mirbach,
the German ambassador to Russia,
concealed their weapons under the
table over which they were con-
versing with the German diplomat,
according to details of the killing
published by the Berlin Lokal An
xeiger as coming from an eyewitness
of the murder.
Count Mirbach, Privy Counsellor
Riesler and Lieut.. Mueller were seat
ed with the two Russians at a marble
table in the middle of the room" says
the witness. "On one side were the
Germans and on the other the Rus
SLAMS. All were seated in low leather
chairs, which was an advantage for
the Russians. as they were thus able
to get their weapons ready under the
marble table without being observed
while their victims, leaning back in
their chairs. offered an easy target.
During the conversation the Rus
slams began to turn over the pages of
their documents as though in search
of some missing papers. and the at
tention of the Germans was thus dis
tracted by this pause. While Count
Mirbach and his colleagues imagined
that the Russians were examining the
documents they had drawn out their
weapons under the cover of the table.
"They then sprang up with re-
volvers and began firing. one Rus
sian aiming at Count Mirbach. the
other at the two other Germans.
Count Mirbach was hit in the back of
the head. On hearing the shots peo-
pie hurried in from the neighboring
rooms and the Russians thereupon
took to flight, but, before springing
out of the window, each of them
hurled a hand grenade. Only one
grenade exploded, the splinters of
which hit Count Mirbach, killing him
