treat they release the civilian popula-
ton whom they have driven along
with them. The condition of these
refugees is unspeakable. Many of
them have been driven imbecile by
their experiences. tuberculosis and

les. Reconstruction work must begin
with this rising generation in France.

which wounded men and refugee

Teen the first relief organization to
get up to the fighting line. We es-
tablished the first canteens for the
United States soldiers, later turning
them over to the Y. NJ. G. A., who
now operate them.
Mrs. Lathrop says it is none too
soon to be doing reconstruction work
that must come later, she says.
French women can be depended
upon to do the greater part of the
necessary war work; for us Ameri-
cans there remain the less pictures
que, more monotonous, but no less
necessary work here at home. We
should do our utmost to keep ouI

with all that is necessary for their
health and efficiency. 1t is not enough
for the American woman to do hel
bit she must do her all if this wal
is to be won"

HOSPITAL SUPPLIES
NEEDED IN FRANCE

"The emergency of the moment in
France is hospital supplies. Unless
they are rushed Immediately in great
quantities the consequences to civili-
zation may be so grave that we do not
dare to contemplate them"
This is the message brought from
France by Mrs. George Lathrop, pres
ident of the American fund for
French wounded At the request of
the officers at Camp Meade, Mrs.
Lathrop addressed 5000 men, her
hearers including British and French
officers. At the conclusion of her talk
the officers collected $4,000 for her
work Said Mrs. Lathrop:
Everyone in France anticipates a
great German offensive this spring.
Unless the French can withstand it,
what will be the outcome? Americans
do not realize how great is the dan
ger. At present this war is anybody's
fight. Germany has lost men, but she
is still the invader, fighting on the
soil of France. The French army des-
perately needs hospital supplies. The
people of the United States have
been asked to give them precedence
over all other supplies, but they have
not needed the warning. Do they
realize that the whole outcome of the
war may depend on our doing our ut
most to rush those supplies in time
to meet the great demand which
must come? There is still opportu-
nitysto ship them to France. Later on
| Gen. Pershing may want to use all
the tonnage for men and munitions,
and then we will not be able to send
them. Delays may be fraught with
fatal consequences. If each American
woman will do her utmost, we may
feel, in my opinion, that we have
saved the day.
Remember it is the fighting man
who must win this war. Our first
thought must be the wounded men;
women and children come afterward

Mrs. Lathrop, who has been in
France doing war work since August
6, 1914, says it is German propaganda
that France is bled white" ''The
magnificent showing the French army
has made in Italy shows that this is
not the case," she says. France ha:

The publication of the city mana
gers report on the condition of the
water and electric plant has given
some people the belief that the plant
has gone to the demnition bowwows
and is fit only for the junk heap. This
idea is erroneous. Mr.. Johnston says
the plant is a good plant and has as
good machinery as can be had. He
says that the faults noted are minor
ones, that all can be corrected, that
the city can correct most of them
with its own workmen, and when this
is done, that Ocala will have just as
good plant as can be found. So far
from giving up the plant as a costly
and dilapidated proposition, the prop
er policy is to go ahead with it. He
says the present defects are princi-
pally the fault of the engineers, who
did not insist that the contractor al
ways carried out the specifications
So there is no use in the people of
Ocala despairing of their electric and
water plant. 1t will be doing good
work for them when the present trou-
bles with it are forgotten.

The Times wishes to utter friend
ly word of warning to Senator Flet-
cher. 1t is this: Do not pay too much
attention to Floridians who may be
called to Washington on the assump-
tion-either theirs or their employ
ers'-that they have "great influence
with the chairman of the commerce
committee. Tampa Times.
Don't know who the Times means,
tho we see by dispatch on another
page of the same issue that Peter o.
Knight is in Washington. So it isn't
out of place to inform Senator Flet-
cher that there exists in this county
a well-defned feeling that, Mr..
Knights influence is exerted more
for the benefit of himself and other
privileged parties than for the state.

the bureau issued its appeal to the
householders of Washington to open
their homes to the young women wal

increasing daily. Westinghouse with
