Washlngton-Pre Wilson has
net Germany's peace note with a move
which will at one stroke, develop
whether her proposal is sincere or
merely pretension, and, if a preten-
sion it be, will fully justify for all time
before the world the prolonging Of the
war with force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit. At the same
time the President has left wide open
the door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies of the Central Pow.
ers remain on invaded soil, the Presi-
dent called on the German Chancellor
to state, as an absolutely necessary
preliminary to reply from the En-
tente Allies and the United States.
whether Germany accepts the princi
pies of peace as repeatedly laId down,
or merely proposes to accept them 'as
a basis of negotiation" and whether
the Chancellor merely speaks for the
German military master conducting
the war or the whole German people

dents diplomacy is disclosed. it be.

TEXT OF PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE,

The text of the Presidents mes
sage as incorporated in a message
Secretary of State Lansing deliv-
cred to the Swiss Charge DAT.
flares follows:
Sir, | have the honor to &C
knowledge on behalf of the Pres
ident your note of October 6, in
closing communication from the
German government to the Pres
ident; and | am instructed by the
President to request you to make
the following communication to
the Imperial German Chancellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the Imperial German gov
eminent and in order that the re-
ply shall be as candid and straight
forward as the momentous inter-
ests involved require, the Presi-
dent of the United States deems
1t necessary to assure himself of
the exact meaning of the note of
the Imperial Chancellor. Does the
Imperial Chancellor mean that the
Imperial German government &C
cepts the terms laid down by the
President in his address to the
Congress of the United States on
the 8th of January last and in
subsequent addresses, and that its
object in entering into discussions
would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their applica-
ton?
The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion Of
an armistice that he would not
feel at liberty to propose a cessa-
ton of arms to the government
with which the government of the
United States rs associated against
the Central Powers so long as the
armies of those powers are upon
their soil. The good faith of any
discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the Cen
trail Powers Immediately to with
draw their forces everywhere from
invaded territory.
The President also feels that
he is justified in asking whether
the Imperial Chancellor is speak
ing merely for the constituted au-
thority of the Empire who have so
far conducted the war. He deems
the answer TO these questions vital
from every point of view"

Before You Came
Before you came we thought we knew
All of life's happiness;
The clouds were white against the
blue,
The breeze was caress;
The yiolets were dewy-wet
Beside the cottage door,
And we walked hand in hand, and let
The world go by-before.
Before you came. And then your cry
Came thin across the morn;
Family it came; and by and by,
The morning you were born,
The uninterrupted nurse drew gently
All, but she felt and knew
All my heart held of love and fear
And brought me word of you!
Of you! For you had no thought,
For you | had no care!
For her! All, | was overweight,
Twixt hoping and despair!
The night had dragged a weary
length,
And fearing for her loss
Had brought me. Slapped of human
strength,
PROSTATE before the cross!
Now we two bend above your bed;
And you are all we know
Of happiness. Your fuzzy head,
Your baby cheeks aglow,
Your hands held up for her caress,
Your gurglings-more and more
You bring to us happiness
We never dreamed before!

Get the Habit of

Millions of folks battle internally

you say. Well, 1t is guaranteed to per.
form miracles If you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising

the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions Of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul

People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This

to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more
important to battle on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood. while the bowel pores do.

GOOD ADVICE

There are two measures that the
people Of Ocala can take during the
present epidemic that will effectually
check the spread of the disease and
make the necessary attention to bus
mess less dangerous.
The first is a measure of voluntary
quarantine. There have been nums
bers of those who have contracted the
| disease going to stores, offices, etc.,
while sick. This is dangerous to the
| individual on account of the proba-
bility of relapse, because complica-
tions may arise due to exposure, and
! these complications usually involve
| the lungs and bronchial tubes, and
because influenza has a tendency to
weaken the heart.
Attending to business while sick is
the most effective means of spread
ing the disease and only an ignorant
or an INSCRIPTIONS person would ex-
pose others to the disease in this way.
| The second measure is one of omis-
sion. Let all general calling and Wis
| iting cease for the present. Children
| should be kept at home. No more eff
fective means for contracting the dis
ease can be taken than that of enter
ing homes where you do not know
the health conditions, especially if
these homes have rooms that are not
we'll ventilated.
| If these precautions are taken the
necessary business interests will not
be interferred with and the closing
| of schools and public meetings not
constitute an unavailing inconven-
fence. Board of Health Member.

AVENUE CROSSING.

T. c. Greer, known generally as
Claud Greer. So years old, was
struck and killed by an incoming
Rock Island train last night az

across Fourth avenue and a short
distance below the switch stand, and
there thrown five or six feet on the
east side of the track

& Bridgman morgue where it was
found there was a fracture of the
skull three and one-half inches IN
length, his shoulder bone was
broken and there we're scratches on
his knee and parts of his legs, but
no limbs were broken. The wound
in the head was sufficient to cause
death. which was instantaneous.
Greer was a travelling man and
his home was in Houston. Texas,
where his wife and two children
live. lie was 4 brother-in-law Of
d. A. IIolley and Dow Brazil OF
this city. Just before he was killed
he was standing on Caddo street
talking to Holley. Holley said
Greer was going across the tracks
to look at a quantity of junk that
he understood was for sale. Mr..
Holley saw him start but did not
notice him when crossing the track.
An eve witness who refused TO
give his name. said he saw Greer
start across the track and that the
train was coming at high speed. and
that Greer tried to run ahead and
beat it. He said he did not see
he train hit Greer but saw him be-
ing dragged along the track. Two
little girls on the west side of the
tracks saw the accident but were
so badly frightened that they did not
know how it happened other than
that the man was struck by the
train and dragged.
