Americans Gas the Huns.
(By Frank J. Taylor.)
With the Americans in Lorraine,
June 19.-The first American gas
protector attack was launched against
the German troops north of Toul this
morning and extremely heavy casual
ties were inflicted on the enemy.
The Boche losses were added to
when attempting retaliation attack
the wind blew the German gas back
into their own trenches.
Germans Taken BY Surprise.
American engineers used American
made projectors and discharged
thousands of American made gas
shells into a small German area.
The Germans were caught by
complete surprise and the gas attacks
were followed up by an intense artil-
lery bombardment, after which the
Germans frightfully shelled the
American positions.
More Men Needed.
The allied reserves are being nurs-
ed in a masterful manner yet owing to
the superior number of Germans moth
ing but the continuous arrival of
Americans can give the allies the adj
vantage of the movement when the
enemy plays his last trump.

took these out to the North Ocala
school about ten days ago and found
about thirty-eight children who were
enthusiastic about war gardens, as
their teachers had already explained
their objects. Many of the children
had no way of obtaining fertilizer,
and so Mrs. Smith generously offered
to furnish it. She will have it put in.

tee is suggesting to the children, that

garden, and with their profits buy
children who find no way of dispos7
ing of their vegetables, Mrs. Smith
and her committee will help them in
every possible way.
Miss Nellie Stevens is also very in
terested in war-gardens and Mrs.
Smith intended to distribute seeds in
the primary school as well, but she
only has eleven packages of seed left
for the third and fourth grades, as
those in the second are not old enough
to undertake a garden. The chairman
still has hopes of obtaining more seed
for these little people, and if any per-
son interested in the war-garden
work cares to help by giving seed or
money for the purchase of seed it
will ge greatly appreciated. Remem-
Der the children are not only learning
how to plant and tend gardens but
with the profits they without excep-
ton, plan to buy THRIFT STAMPS.

YOU AND OUR CASUALTY LIST

Have you noticed our casualty list
recently? Do you realize that near
ly $500 of our boys have been killed
or wounded or captured by the
Huns? Deaths in action and from
wounds and accidents amount to
more than $500. The list grows
with the days, and will grow the
more quickly as the number of the
boys in action increases.
The casualty list makes you more
readily understand, perhaps, why the
Government and those humanitarian
agencies connected with war work
call necessarily for financial support.
Funds are needed to keep our men
equipped, to keep them properly fed
to keep them cheered up-to give
them everything they should have
and as quickly as possible, so that

Horace Roberts, 14-year old son of
George Roberts, the famous fishing
guide, began Sunday to follow in his
fathers footsteps or whatever would
be his nautical equivalent. On his first
trip as a guide he took Ralph Chase
to the northwest channel for his first
experience as tarpon fisherman and
spit on the bait" with such success
that Mr.. Chase landed his first tar
pom. While the fish weighed only a
trifie over 81 pounds, Mr.. Chase de-
clared it looked as big as a California
bungalow to him. He will have tho
fish mounted and take it back to his
home in Oklahoma City, partly, he
says, because his friends will not be-
lieve that he caught such a large fish
unless they see it.-St. Petersburs

Day by day the war comes closer

hold names unfamiliar to u.s. we pass
On and in an unconcerned manner
give the casualty lists little more
than passing notice. But when the
news comes over the wires that fine
young man, known to us all, has gone
we find the grim war dagger piercing
our very heart strings. The news to-
day tells of the death Of Todd Gil
lett, a prominent Tampa boy, known
to many Lakeland people, and the
heartfelt sympathy of many Lakeland
friends goes out to the berevaed par.
