SYMPATHY FROM
THE RED CROSS

Whereas, Death has taken from one
of our valued members a dutiful son
and from one of our most faithful
workers loving brother; and,
Whereas, In the death of Lieutenant
Wiley II. Burford, on the firing line
in France, our country has lost one of
its bravest soldiers, one who heard
the first call of his country and re-
sponded Immediately, laboring earn
estly and faithfully in one of the first
training camps that he might better
fit himself for service, one who has
finally given, courageously, his life,
fighting "for that principle which
gave birth to the American republic;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
the executive committee of the Ocala
Chapter, American Red Cross, in spe-
cial meeting assembled, our hearts
aching for our friends and co-workers
to whom this bereavement has come,
do hereby assure them of our sympa-
thy and love, and commend them in
our prayers to our Father who alone
can comfort, strengthen and sustain
them in this sad hour;
Be it Further Resolved, That this
resolution be spread upon the minutes
of this chapter.
This 10Th day of February, 1918.

MEN PLACED IN CLASS ~"

Lord Denbigh of England in des-
scribing the people out for peace at
any price and certain others as in
class 2, separates them as follows:
"The rs are utter rotters, men
ignorant of the situation and do not
know what they are talking about.
"The 2 2's are men who want the
war to end because they cannot get
margines or because their beer is
thin.
"The z 3's are the enemy agents in
the pay of Germany, trying to lower
the morals of the soldiers and the peo-
pie"

ANOTHER GREAT WORK
OF THE RED CROSS
1t Will be Medium of Exchange Be-
tween American and German
Prisoners

The latest privilege has been grant
ed the American Red Cross is that of
trading with the enemy" the license
for which has just been granted by
the War Trade Board, according to
information received from Washing
ton on Wednesday by Col. Lawson
Peel, manager of the Southern Divis-
ion.
In return for the privilege of send
ing letters, food and money to Amer
ican prisoners of war in Germany,
which was granted exclusively to the
Red Cross. the German government
has asked that the Red Cross act as a
medium through which the German
fathers and mothers can send a word
from home or remembrance to sons
confined in American prison camps,
and to a minor extent, to her pris-
oners in French and British camps.
Since this, in sense, constitutes
trading with the enemy" the sane
tion of the War Trade Board was
necessary. This has just been granted,
authorizing the American Red Cross
to communicate with prisoners of war
the world over--enemy, allies and
neutral.
This makes the Red Cross the single
international postoffice and cable
office for prisoners of war all over
the world. The War Department un-
dertakes to send only the barest in
formation to relatives concerning
killed and wounded soldiers and those
taken prisoner, but the Red Cross
supplements the fact by securing the
details.
Recently naturalized Austrian
came to the Red Cross, asking to be
allowed to send supplies and a letter
to his son who was a prisoner in ST.
IBERIA. In the letter he begged his son
not to allow himself to be exchanged
and sent back to Austria or Germany
because in that event he would be
forced to fight Americans. The father
wished him to stay where he was un-
til the war ended and he could come
to America.
Scores of similar cases are coming
to the Red Cross for attention.

ONSLAUGHT IS
DAILY EXPECTED
Allies Have No Doubt of Their
Ability to Meet the Teu-
ton Offensive

British Army Headquarters in
France, Feb. ia great German
Aoffensive on the western front may be
expected to begin at any time now.
So far as the British front is con-
cerned, the main thrust will be made
between Arras and St. Quentin. Tanks
and new and mysterious gas" will
be employed by the enemy in theif
attempt to break the allied line. These
facts became known through captur
ed Germans and other sources. The
coming battle will be the most intense
yet seen. The allied forces have a
superiority in numbers. both in men
and guns, and no doubt is felt as to
the outcome.

"MY SOLDIER GIRL"


The Temple has had a succession of
good plays this season. We are not
sure but that "My Soldier Girl" was
the best of the lot
There wasn't much of plot to the
play. If there had been, it would have
been lost sight of in the stunts of
mirth, music and graceful motion
that followed each other sometimes so
fast that they made ones head swim.
Miss Gudrun Walberg as Dixie
Harrison is the center of the per-
formance. She is the most vivacious
dancer that has been seen here in
many a day, or rather many a night.
The conventional term poetry of
motion" does not fully describe her
dancing. It has spring and pep to it
that makes it unusual. You have
heard of people who put their feet in
their mouths when they speak, but
they are not like Miss Walberg, who
puts her toes into her eyes when she
dances, so it is difficult to tell which
wrinkles the brightest. The audience
called and recalled her until she was
ready to drop. Leslie Jones, her dane
ing partner was also very good.
Miss Leona Slater has magnifi-
cent voice, which brought applause
every time it was lifted. Charles
George, the leading man, was excel
lent in his part. James L. Baber, as
Colonel Stone, acted the stately old
boy to perfection. Mr.. Baber is the
author of my Soldier Girl" and sew
/. eral other plays.
Fred Daye and Leslie Jones are two
good comedians and frequently con-
Vulsed the house.
The ballet is made up of bunch of
good-looking girls, who appeared in a
series of astonishingly pretty cos
TUNES. In our opinion they were at
their best when they came on in
their neat khaki suits with guns on
their shoulders and went thru their
drill both prettily and efficiently.
The show has an unusual distinc-
tion in that the leading man, Mr..
Charles George wrote the lyrics and
other music. The music the company
started with did not seem to fit, so
Mr.. George rewrote it, since when it
has been a success. 1t certainly pleas
ed Ocala The music is so new that
it has not been published. Mr.. George
is writing a new play for the COM
pany-''I Should Say So"-and we
hope it will be seen here next season.
One proof of the plays merit was
that the audience remained in its
seats until it was entirely over; some
thing that occurs here very seldom.
All in all, the play is a very good
one, with much of the novel in it, and
we cheerfully recommend it to other
towns.

1t seems that Henry Ford whose
name appeared on both Demo
cratic and Republican tickets in
the Michigan primaries held on
Tuesday, has won and lost. He
will win as the Democratic nom
inee, and as such will be pitted
against #. B. Newberry, Repub
liCan nominee, in the November
election. Mr.. FOrd's name got
on the Democratic ticket at the
suggestion of President Wilson.
He will oppose Newberry the
second time within the year, one
time as Republican for the NOM
nation, the other time as the
Democratic nominee for the Job.
Politics have assumed queer al
lignments this year and are ex
Ceptionally mixed up when sub
jeCted to analysis.
