One Million Sweaters
For Army and Navy

The American Red Cross is thee
greatest volunteer organization that
the world has ever seen. 1t was
announced by one Of the high officials
In Washington that millions Of people
are and have been for some months
working six days a week without dol
lars pay. This includes the members
Of the local chapters and all other en-
ployees in this country and abroad.
One significant item in this is the fact
that the Red Cross has given the
army and navy over 100000 sweaters
for the boys in the service, Of which
over 100000 were made by the mem
bers Of the local chapters. You who
know the difficulty Of making sweat
ers can estimate the character Of the
work and the self sacrifice that the
women Of America are making to fur
Their the Red Cross mission Of mercy.

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear Of years impairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their ac-
tivity, neglect to take sufficient ex-
ercise, and indulge natural dis
position to take things easy. The
digestive organs become more SEN
sitive to the demands made upon
them and rebel more quickly.
1t is of special Importance to the
health of elderly people that the
bowels be kept normally active. A
mild, yet effective, remedy for con-
stipation. and one that is especi-
ally suited to the needs of old
folks, women and children, is the
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin sold in drug
stores under the name of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents a bottle, and should be
in every family medicine chest. A
trial bottle, free of charge, cRn be
obtained by writing to DR.. ". B.

increasing success as the years go
on. I offer my warm congratula-
tons to all who have labored so as
siduously to found this school of
learning which will be an addition
to the forces of progress throughout
the world
Equally enthusiastic was the re-
ception of greetings from France,
which were delivered by Capt.
Coulandre, in these words:
'The Government Of the French
Republic is happy to express the
sentiments Of sympathy with which
it welcomes the laying Of the founda-
tons of the Jewish University from
which will radiate the great thoughts
of brotherhood and idealism to
which Judaism has been SO firmly
attached through the centuries of
persecution and sincerely trusts that
in the freed world all Jews who de-
sire it may find, in harmony with
the other communities, an intellec-
tual and social home in Palestine"
The address delivered by DR..
Chain Weitzman, head of the Zion
ist Administrative Commission, to
whom fell the privilege of laying the
first foundation stone was Of a most
exalted character. His audience
was thrilled as he emphasized the
old Hebraic vision, my house shall
be a house of prayer for all the
nations" as the dominant principle of
the University, and made clear that
the great Jewish seat of learning
would be open to all the world for
the study of the sciences, arts and
humanities at the same time that it
would link up the Jewish past with
the Jewish future.
His speech in full follows:
eve have today laid the founda-
ton stone of the first Hebrew uni
versity which is to be erected on
this hill overlooking the city of
Jerusalem. Many of us will have
had their thoughts cast back to the
great historic scenes associated with
Jerusalem, scenes that have become
part of the heritage of mankind. 1t
is not too fanciful to picture the
soul of those who have made our
history here with us today, inspiring
us, urging us onward to greater and
even greater tasks; many again will
have had their attention rivetted on
the apparent contrast between to-

St. Patrick,s Blessing


The following blessing is found in
the life of st. Patrick. The words are
particularly beautiful and are said to
have been impaired by st. Patrick to
his chosen people from the hills if
Tipperary, as he bid them farewell
after his seven years of preaching on
the banks of SUR, the Blackwater,
and the Lee:
A blessing on the Munster people
Men, youths and women;
A blessing on the land
That yields them fruit.
A blessing on every treasure
That shall be produced on their
plains,
Without any one being in want of
help;
Gods blessing be on Munster.
A blessing be on their peaks,
On their bare fagstones,
A blessing on their glens,
A blessing on their ridges.
Like the sand of the sea under ships,
Be the number of their hearths;
On slopes, on plains,
On mountains, on hills, a blessing.

filled and the wedding is said to have
been the largest in Belleview's his
tory. Miss McClendon was attended
by Miss Clara May Crosby, and Mr..
Jones by Mr.. John Pickford of Wor-
cester, Mass. After the ceremony and
congratulations, the guests became
very interested in the numerous and
beautiful wedding gifts, and during
those few minutes the bride and
groom took hasty and silent depar-
ture. When their absence was discov-
cred, twenty of the guests immediate
ly motored to Ocala to find them. On
their arrival their thorough search
was unrewarded, and the disappoint-
ed parties went to the Harrington
and had big feast where they each
toasted the absent bride and groom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones in the meantime
had only slipped over Mr.. Tremere's
back fence and were later found hav-
ing quiet supper at the home of the
groom's mother, Mrs. Matte Jones.
Mrs. Jones was born and reared in
Belleview, where she is greatly be-
loved. Mr.. Jones, who is only 81 years
of age, is the only son of Mrs. Matte
Jones, and has lived in Belleview for
the past ten years. He is a carpenter
by trade and he and his bride will
leave this week for Americas, Ga,
and later will go to Maryland to re-
side.

guests at this wedding, which is the

fighting in France is not expected 10
last long, Notwithstanding the incle-
mency of the weather said a Reuters
dispatch received here to-day from
London.
The Germans are being openly
and enormously reinforced, but the
allies also have strengthened their
forces and it is not likely that the
next thrust will be any more effec-
tive in achieving decision than that
of a month ago when the German
people were told to expect a speedy
triumph" the message adds. "The
expectation of this side. indeed, is
that the battle may last well through

With the British Army in France,
April 22.-Taking advantage of the
moonlight the Germans at 10 o'clock
last night made strong but unsuc-
cessful attack against the British po-
sitions north of Aveluy wood on the
front above Albert. Heavy fighting
continued until o'clock this morn
ing. The Germans apparently have
taken one British outpost and lost
ground themselves elsewhere in the
wood. The assault was preceded by
a. heavy bombardment and the gun
fire on both sides kept up most of
the night.
There was active artillery lighting
throughout Sunday east of Arras and
on both sides of the Scarpe. The
bombardment at Villers- -Bretonneu2
and the surrounding territory was
continued. The British improved
their lines in the neighborhood of
Villers- -Bretonneux.

lines. French troops are now with
Field Marshal Haig's men on both
the northern and southern legs of the
salient south of Ypres. Near Robecn,
on the southern leg, the British have
driven the Germans from some ad-
vanced posts. In this area where
strong German attacks were re-
pulsed sanguinarily last week the
enemy artillery is most active. Ar
tillery duels continued violent along
most of The Picardy battlefront
where the Germans are using guns of
tn biggest 'calibers.
To-day the German offensive be-
gins it's second month without hav-
ing separated the British and French
and with the British army still in
tact. Where the'next blow will fall
is uncertain, but the allies are pre-
pared to meet it as they have met
the others. It is probable the Ger
mans are not willing to end the
Flanders attack without making an
other effort to drive in the northern
leg and get behind Ypres. Enemy
activity south of Arras also has been
noticed.

Berlin, in its official statement de-
scribed Saturdays action lengthily.
Admission is made that the fighting
was severe and it is claimed that
1873 Americans including five officers
and 20 machine guns were cap
tured Heavy losses it is said were
inflicted by the Germans. That the
effort failed of it's purpose is in
dicated by the announcement that
the attackers returned to their own
position under cover of night. Ber-
lin makes no mention of French
troops having been engaged in this
region.
On the Picardy and Flanders
battlefield the Germans have not
resumed their attacks and appar-
emily are waiting for the high COM
mand to decide where to strike next
while fresh troops and new supplies
are being brought forward.
