The Moan of a Modern Lover

The Moan Of a Modern Lover
When first | caught a glimpse of her,
She took my eye;
Since you have seen her, | infer
You know just why.
With such an apple-blossom face,
With such a slender, willowy grace,
marked the day, the time, the place,
She took my eye!
Elapsed week or more of time
She took my heart;
And yet | lived and felt quite prime,
Nor grieved to part
With that important bit of me
An organ which | rarely see;
In fact, | quite rejoiced that she
Should take my heart.
When six short months were nearly
past,
She took my name;
| felt my wings were clipped at last,
And grew quite tame.
But | was willing, goodness knows,
To squelch at least dozen beaux,
If from such thorns | picked my rose.
She took my name.
Since then the climax has been reach
ed
She takes my cash!
Whene'er economy I've preached,
She'd fed me hash;
While modistes squander half my pay
And tradesmen call for more each
day,
/ mourn, too late, her taking way
She takes my cash.

Fish Fry at Lake Bryant

Fish fries and picnics are the most
popular of all amusements these
lovely summer days. Yesterday being
an exceptionally pleasant day, a
merry party betook themselves to
Lake Bryant for an entire day of out
of-door enjoyment, leaving in the cool
of the morning and enjoying first a
delicious breakfast. With swimming
and fishing the dinner hour soon ar
rived and it is impossible to do jus
tice to the wonderful spread.
Those in the party were: Mr.. and
Mrs. j. P. Phillips, Mr.. and Mrs. ely
att, Mr.. and Mrs. Pillans and children,
Cora May and Ethel Fair. and Mrs.
Burkhalter. There are some notable
fisherman in this party and goodly
supply of fish was brought to Ocala,
and like the proverbial baskets of
old, seemed never to give out, as their
neighbors will testify.

An Expression of Appreciation
Dear Mrs. Brock:

Dear Mrs. Brock:
We desire to express through
pour paper, our heartfelt graft
tude to our many friends and
relatives who acted the part Of
brother and neighbor during the
brief illness and unexpected death
Of our son and brother, Noel.
Several times has the "Grim Mes.
senger" knocked at the door Of
our home, rs we thought, but
this is the first entrance he has
made. Thus it is that death has
a new meaning to us. But for
the Grace of God and the kind
ness and helpfulness of friends,
ours would be an overwhelming
sorrow. Bnt this we know, God
has made no error, and we are
consoled. The great tragedy, as
humanity is prone to term it, has
already meant a blessing to US.
In the first lace, it has caused
us to place new and added value
upon God. In the second place,
| it has caused us to love men more
and to place a greater value upon
their love and sympathy. We
shall never forget the friends of
the trying hour. Gods blessings
upon them,
Yours gratefully,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Bateman Sr.
Mrs. John Pigott, Lee Ethel,

Rigid Wheat Rule Issued By
Parker.

The food administration issued
a new set of commandments Thu
rsday for wheat saving in Louisi-
ana, as follows:
"Monday and Wednesday are
now real and complete wheatless
days. On these days wheat must
not be served in any form what
soever. No bread, cakes, crack
ers, pies and pastries containing
wheat, no macaroni, wheat cereals
or other wheat products are per-
mitted. The whatless days must
be observed to the letter. The
shortage Of wheat has become the
most serious problem which has
yet confronted the food admins
tration. The eating places are
depended upon to take the lead in
solving the problem. The homes
will undoubtedly and heartily
emulate the example.
CAL householders who can en-
tirely eliminate the use of wheat
until the next harvest, about Sept
/, should do so. Those obliged
to use wheat should not use more
than one and one-half pounds Of
wheat flour or prepared wheat in
any form, per person per week,
including the wheat flour in wal
bread, and including the wheat
flour or prepared wheat in crack.

VISCOUNT ICHIRO MOTONO,
NOTED JAPANESE, DEAD
Former Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
and Held Many Other I'm
portant Offices.

viscount Ichiro Motono. who re-
signed as minister Of foreign affairs Of
Japan four months ago, died at Toxic
yesterday from a stomach trouble
with which he had suffered for a long
time.
News Of his death reached the jap
anese embassy here this morning. It
caused little surprise, because it was
known that the veteran statesman had
been i'll for many years and that he
had suffered relapse from what ap-
peared to be partial recovery fol-
lowing the unfavorable reception
which was given to his proposition to
renew the pressure upon China for the
adoption Of the five points of the
original agreement, which was signed
in Peking about two years ago.
Viscount Motono was born in 1852
and was typical product of the jap
anese system OF civil service, having
advanced regularly to the various
grades in foreign and diplomatic Of
fees from the position of translator.
which he filled in 1890. In turn he
had been councillor. secretary of leRa-
ton at Petrograd and minister at
Paris and Brussels.
He also was the Junior delegate of
Japan at The Hague peace conferences.
He became foreign minister in Noyem.

Fugitive From Washington
Taken as He Was Stepping
From Train. =.
NOW UNDER QUARANTINE
IN HOUSE IN SUBURBS
Relatives Say Authorities Have No
Right to Remove Hind. c. Of
fcials Notified of Capture.

ASHEvILLE, N. c., September 1S.-
John Early. who escaped from his
leper prison at Washington Monday
morning, was caught Tuesday after
noon as he stepped from a Washing
ton train at Tryon, near here.
He is now in a house at the edge OF
town, under quarantine by members
of his family. His brother, James
Early, a shoemaker at Tryon. met the
train and went with his brother to the
house. His father and mother are
with him.
No Right to Him, Family Says.
Early and members Of the family
state that he will remain in Tryon, as
they say the authorities have no right
to remove him. He wore the same
gray suit and gray cap as when he
left Washington.
The excitement of the trip is be-
lieved to have made him i'll. He has
not even appeared at the door of the
house since he entered yesterday.
Not Yet Under Arrest.
Early had not been placed under ar
rest today, but Tryon health authori-
ties requested his family to see that
he did not leave. In the meantime
Washington officials were telegraphed
for disposition of the case.
Tryon people are much concerned
over the presence of the leper.

FALL OF METZ TO SIGNALIZE
LOSS OF WAR. TO GERMANY

would be tantamount to the loss Of
the war itself. When Bismarck took
Metz he obeyed the urgings Of tho
elder Moltke and the military men; |;
he took it because they advised him
that in German hands Metz was the
population. of German tradition.
could be advanced for Metz; 1t was as
French in its population as Tours or
Orleans. But with the development
OF the iron industry in Lorraine Metz
became not only the key to France,
but the bulwark to Germany.
Pincers Method to Be Used.
AS a military problem it is well to
Metz can be by direct assault. There
the somme and Ffanders last year to
mako such an operation tempting
now. Metz will have to be taken by
the now familiar method of the PIN
GERS. Unquestionably we shall see
next year-we may see the begin
ming this year-a double thrust from
Verdun straight out toward the Mo-
selle east of Briey and below Metz
from the front beyond Nancy into the
gap between Metz and Strassburg.
which was the sceen of the French Of
fensive of August. 1914, which ended
SO d1SaStrouSly at Morhange. These
two thrusts will together envelop
Metz. as the St. Mihiel salient was
enveloped the other day, and compel
the Germans to choose between evac-
uating the whole Metz position and
risking an army in a besieged fort
ress, as Bazafne risked his army and
the French cause in 1870.
It is a proper calculation henceforth
to count on the ultimate capture of
Metz by Pershing. probably materi-
ally aided by French troops; but it is
an incorrect calculation to measure the
task by the smallness of the distance
which now separates US from the
forts of Metz. The Germans got with
in four miles of the citadel of YER
dun, but it took them more than five
months to make the advance. which
did not amount to seven miles at the
extreme point of penetration. Their
failure was an admirable illustration
Of the folly Of trying to hack ones
way into an enemy stronghold, and
Foch has shown in his operations this
year his contempt for such tactics.
We are. then. likely to see a long
and slow campaign for Metz. We are
bound to see the main thrusts de-
livered not at the forts and the i'm
mediate circle of defenses which now
face our troops, but north and south
of these defenses. thrusts designed to
envelope Metz, not take it by storm,
and the development will inevitably
force the Germans to evacuate the
town when their garrison is threat
ened with immediate encfrclement
