War Savings
Notes
THE SUCCESS OF THE
WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN

In conjunction with the campaign
to promote savings for purposes Of
investment in thrift and war-savings
stamps, only seven months old, its
success seems well assured. In De-
cember, 1917, it began hahingly.
There was opposition to it from man
ufacturers and merchants who be-
lieved it would cripple their business
People were slow to take the stamps
Only $1O,OO0,0OO worth were sold in
the first month. Since then however
the opposition has gradually died
away and people have taken to buying
the stamps all over the country
There are now some 20S,000 licensed
agents for sales of stamps; there are
103,60O war-savings societies in the
country, and there are $4,000 author
ICED places where stamps can be
bought.
1t was the original purpose to Sc
cure sales and pledges during the
first year for $2,OO0,000,00O worth
In seven months more than two thirds
of that amount were secured-that Is
81 800 100000 in actual sales and in
pledges to buy regularly from month
to month and some 35,O00000 persons
large and small, had gone with the
movement. The weekly returns had
risen early in July to $50199 900, or
FIVE times the amount secured in the
whole month of December. Over ST.
100000 a day was, in fact, marked
change from a daily average return
OF barely $1,0O0,000 for the frat few
months. 1t has gone to show tina,

Hugh Sims Killed
In Execution OF
Orders: Military
Funeral Service

With military honors and with the
last tribute of love and respect par-
tcipated in by great throng OF
friends and acquaintance, the funeral
OF Hugh Sims occurred at 500 O'Clock
last night, the services being held al
the First Baptist church.
The body of the young man, who
met death by drowning at Key Yves;
on Monday, when, in obedience to or
ders, he was diving to remove some
obstruction from the bottom of q tor.
pedo boat, arrived here on Train SO
last evening. At 1880 o'clock a de.
tail Of the Home Guards, under Ser
geant R. N. Skipper, assembled at the
Gentry Undertaking Co.'s establish
ment, where the body lay, and this
military escort, headed by Buglers
Childs and Amidon, together with
members of the High School Cadets
Boy Scouts and other organizations
and friends, formed the procession to
the church. The pall-bearers con-
sisted Of the following members of the
Home Guards: Privates Gresham
iMcGinnis, Metherington, Ford, True
blood and White.
The church was crowded, testify
ing to the high esteem in which thi:
young man was held. A quartette
Icomposed of Mrs. Moncrief, Miss
Myrtle Wear, Messrs. H. A. Wickham
and j j Haldeman, sang very beau
tifully, and the funeral discourse wa;
delivered by Rev. Wallace Wear. He
dwelt on the life and character of the
deceased, his love of books, his lead
ership among his fellows, and called
attention to the fact that having met
death while obeying the instructions
of his superior officer, he had died for
his country as truly as If he had met
death in the trenches.
The body was taken to Dade City
for interment on the SIS train this
morning, accompanied by the cocrow-
ing parents, sister and other relatives
AS heretofore stated, this splendid
young man met his death while exc
cutting orders. 1t was necessary to
remove a floating target which had
caught in one of the propellOrs OF a
torpedo boat, and volunteers to do the
work were called for. Hugh offered
to undertake it, and was given div
ing outfit, and a rope was tied to hi;
wrist for signalling purposes. He
went under the boat, and when il
was thought time for him to have
completed his work and he had no.
ISlBHdlleu, lu6 lOpe was puiiou, "Aiu w
answer was received A diver was
sent down and it was found that tbs
young man was dead the rope having
become entangled in one of the pro
pellors. How this accident occurred
has not been determined, but 1t Is
possible that some one in the ENGINE
room, not knowing anyone was under
the boat, started the machinery-ont
revolution of the propeller wheel be
ing sufficient to have killed him
The officers have ordered an inves
tigation. and the matter will be thor
oughly probed. Having been KILLED
while in performance of duty Mrs
Sims will receive the $4,000 soldier
insurance.

Chas. Murdoch Writes
Interesting Letter
To Claire Henley

Claire Henley has received the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Charles
X. Murdoch, which will be read with
interest by the latter's many Lake
land friends:
My dear Clair:
| have been looking for a letter or
at least card from you for some
time but it seems that you are too
tusy to write or have about forgot
ten all about me. | just picked up
little baseball dope that l thought
would interest you and the boys so
am sending you copy Of it.
This war game sure is curious
one, and guess the kaiser can vouch
for that at this particular time
About ten days ago he launched
what he called his Peace Offensive"
on the Western Front and Thursday
morning at daylight the battle took a
sudden change and from the actions
of the Germans | cant tell whether
they are trying to overtake the Crown
Prince or heard somebody far in the
rear call them anyway they started
in the opposite direction of the day
before and they must have gotten
awfully frightened at something be-
cause they are still running today
The courage and bravery of our
boys over here is great and the
kaiser is beginning to realize his
biggest mistake of his life, when he
caused the American Eagle to spread
forth his wings and scream.
The Chancellor of Germany says
all Germany wants is place in the
sun and a right to live as an indie
pendent nation. Well, before this
little unpleasantness is all over the
kaiser is going to have place warm
err than the sun to live in.
think pretty soon now we can ex-
pect big move by Germany for
peace, but we shall answer 1t when
it comes just as we have all the rest
with the cannon Free nations of
this world cannot afford to accept
peace from a nation that has COM
mitted the crimes that Germany has
committed
We cannot expect action by the
German people against the kaiser
and his military machine until the
German army is defeated on the
battlefield. Therefore the only way
to win the war is to kill Germans and
believe me, the Allies and the Am
erican are doing that thing. 30
The outcome of this offensive by
the Allies is of course hard to de-
termine but the whole situation at
this time is cheerful. The Germans
realize now that the Americans didn't
come across the pond to dig a hole
and stay in it for months. guess
you folks at home cheered pretty
loud when you got the news of the
push. It was mighty good alright
hut | was too tired to do much
shouting. ga"
must stop now and II you don't
answer this pretty quick, am going
to sever diplomatic relations with
you by cable.
Give all the boys my best regards,
and tell Lusk | am looking for an
other letter from him.
Sincerely,
CHAS. X. MURDOCH, Jr.

An unfounded report was circulated
on the streets last night and today
to the effect that Albert Smith, for
merly one of the owners of Smiths
Grocery, was in dying condition and
could not live through the day. In
running down the matter we found
that they say that $50 and so' had
gotten a message and that so and
So had heard nothing from him. We
found three friends who had received
letters from him-one being received
last Friday, another yesterday and
still another this morning,-none of
which dwelt on the life to come or
any plans or preparations leading
thereto. Mr.. Smith stated in one OF
his letters that he had been having a
bad time with his throat and had Sc
cured a further extension of time in
which to report for military service
but otherwise no reference was made
to his health. Mr.. Smith may be in
very critical condition, and the ru-
mors may be true, but the Telegram
has inquired Of every person who was
reported to have received such mes
sage. and we are very glad to state
that as far AS we can learn, there i;
absolutely nothing to the report. Mr.
Smith has been taking treatment IN
q Nashville hospital but is again al
his home in LaFollette, Tenn. accord
ing to a letter received from him by
friends today.
