DATE FOR LUNCHEON
FOR VETERANS CHANGED

The Daughters of the Confederacy
request the Star to announce that
the date for the luncheon for the
Confederate veterans has been chang
ed from Tuesday, June to Saturday,
June /. The luncheon will be given
in the Ocala House dining room at 1
p. m, and the Daughters will be glad
to have every veteran in the county
present. This luncheon has been given
annually for years by the Daughters
in honor of the birthday of Jefferson
Davis, on June 3. Last year, on ac-
count of the war, and registration
day, it was omitted, and the old SOL
diers missed it greatly. This year,
despite war and Hooverism, it is the
desire of the Daughters to bring them
together in the honored festival again.
Davis birthday, however, falls this
year on Monday, and it being almost
impossible to make suitable prepar-
alton on that day, it was decided to
give the luncheon Tuesday, June A.
Plans were being made for this date
when it was suggested that on ac-
count of the primary election a good
many of the veterans could not be in
the city on that date. So it has been
changed to Saturday, June 1, at the
Ocala House, at p. m, and every old
Confederate soldier in the county is to
understand that his name is in the
pot.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Recruiting Station, u. S. Army,
Postoffice Building, Ocala, Fla.

Postoffice Building, Ocala, Fla.
What is your age and what is your
reason for not enlisting in the army
now? No doubt it is good one. Most
of them are. We all had them, but
let's win this war and then consider
our reasons. Men fifty years old and
boys fifteen years old are applying
every day, trying to enter the service.
What are the men between the ages
of Is and Fl and 81 and Al doing?
All you men who are becoming 81
years of age and who have become 81
since last June, have to register last
month and your last chance to volun-
teer is rapidly drawing to a close.
Why not call and see what the army
recruiting officer had for you? We
need all the men we can get. Whether
you are going to college or high
school, we need your services now.
Ne mare wanted for nearly every
branch of the service. We now have
the tank service open. This is the
branch which we have heard so much
about-the large, steel tanks that
walk through buildings and over the
trenches. If you enlist in this tank
corps you will be in France in two
months time. The promotion is rapid
and the work very exciting. The gov
eminent allows liberal amount to
your dependents while you are in the
service and you have the privilege of
insuring your life for large amount,
besides you are serving your country.
Some people say we do not need men
very badly now Even if you are
school professor we need you. Look
out for registration day. Call on or
write the army recruiting officer.

RED CROSS SLACKERS

During this Red Cross drive, when
appeals are being so urgently made
for a substantial over-subscription, it
should not be forgotten that Marion
county's quota last year was $4,000,
and we raised only $4,000. Therefore,
Marion county is $4,000 in debt to
the Red Cross, so to speak, on the last
drive, and if we go over the top this
time with $4,000, we shall only be
even with Mother Red Cross"

FRIcHTFULNEss AT HOME

The war has not cause hy in
crease Of crime in Eng, France
or the United States; if anything, it
seems to have, diminished it. But,
according to the leading German
newspapers, the contrary is the case
in Germany, We learn from the
Berlin Tageblatt that more than three
hundred burglaries occur every day
in Berlin, most of which are cou-
mitted by deserters from the army.
Not only has the police force been
increased, but considerable num-
Der of soldiers have been detailed to
do police duty. "Things have reach
ed such a pass" says the Zeitung am
Mittag, "that individual policemen
patrolling the streets are no longer
sure of their lives"
The Kiel Zeitung adds a more
sweeping indictment of German So
ciety:
Fraud, embezzlement, speculation
those are unhappily the character
istics of German domestic life today.
Among the chief offenders are state
officials, court functionaries, high po-
lice official-the very class of whose
honesty we were once proud of. Our
children will look back on these years
as time of the rankest barbarism,
of unchecked criminality, Of utter
absence of morals"
The picture is an an unhappy one,
but is it not the legitimate result of
an education that has inculcated the
sacred right of physical force, that
taught violence as a proper means
of gaining desirable ends, and that
has found ingenious arguments to
defend the open breach of faith and
the insolent violation of obligation?
When a government publishes with
satisfaction long list of private pro-
perty stolen by it's military force
from civilians of invaded territory,
what else are we to expect from the
citizens except thievery and violence?
The people of other nations have
suffered much from the "frightful-
ness" that is the leading article in
the creed of Berlin, but Germany
has suffered even more. The Allies
and the neutrals have lost their goods
and some times their lives, but Ger
many has lost its soul.

HOGS, HOGS, HOGS,
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

Clemson College, S. C.-Through
the Extension Division and by mail
orders the farmers of South Carolina
are getting into the state some very
fine hogs which will be used as foun-
dation herds.
With the introduction of more and
better hogs into South Carolina must
come a change in the methods of
handling them. The average farmer
of South Carolina has in the past
kept few hogs and fed them largely
on corn just enough to keep them
going during the summer, and then
fattening them in the falD. If he
had any pasture at all it was filed
with sage grass, scrub timber, and

tion. That will give the Government
more labor and materials for war
purposes. And then with our savings
we must buy War Savings Stamps.
That will give the Government cur

MUST BACK THE GOVERNMENT
WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH

Few people, indeed, in this country
now fail to realize that we are fight
ing a brutal, relentless enemy. The
indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. An Ame-
rican correspondent reports a con-
versation with crippled British off,
Ger who, after long stay in German
prison pens, had been exchanged.

IN MESOPOTAMIA

While succession of great battles
is being fought on the western front,
where, by general belief, the war
must be decided, few of us have the
patience to closely follow the march
of events in the distant plains Of
Mesopotamia. Yet interesting mat
ters are going forward there, move
ments that are not in the least de-
cisive so far as the war is concerned,
but that may be of the very greatest
| Importance to the future of Asia af-
ter the war is over.
Gen. Marshall, who succeeded the
lamented Sir Frederick Maude, has
not halted his advance in the neigh
borhood of Bagdad, but has pushed
one column up the Euphrates half
way to Aleppo and another up the
Tigris more than halfway to Mosul.
Neither column has had to face any
opposition of moment; there is, in
deed, every reason to believe that
the Turkish military establishment is
n bad way, both for men and for
supplies. The Turks tried to get
together an army large enough to
drive Gen. Allenby out of Palestine,
and Gen. Won Falkenhayn came out
from Germany to command it; but
the troops were so poor and deser-
tions were so numerous that The en-
terprise had to be given up.
That is the situation which makes
it possible for Gen. Marshall to ad-
vance so confidently into the far in
terror of Mesopotamia. In the face
of an active and capable enemy his
position would be hazardous, for nei-
ther column can support the other;
they are moving along diverging
paths and are dependent on lines of
communication that are already very
much extended. Fortunately, his
rear is safe, for the Arab population
of lower Mesopotamia is by no means
loyal to Turkey and regards the Brit
ish as delivers rather than as invad.
ers.
If Gen. Marshall can reach Mosul
and Aleppo without mishap, he will
have cut the Ottoman Empire in two
and torn much the larger part away
from the Sultan. At Aleppo he will
be in the rear of the Turkish army in
Palestine, and that force will either
have to fly or to surrender Damas-
Gus, Beirut, Alexandretta and the
whole of Syria and the Mediterrane-
an coast would be lost to the Turks
and lost for all time-unless the Ger
mans should win the war squarely
and decisively in the west, when they
would Of course return Arab and
Syrian and Jew to the misrule of the
Turk.
However, the British resources
may be inadequate to such a daring
effort; in that case thecolumn on the
Euphrates will go forward no far
ther, but devote itself to breaking I'D
any attempts the Turks may make to
reach Bagdad by way of that river.
The column on the Tigris may rea-
sonably advance or Mosul, but, hay-
ing that city, it will be so disposed as
effectively to cover the Persian from
tier and thus protect India against
possible German attack.

EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE
The New York Times recently sait
editorially:

The New York Times recently said
editorially:
"No man or woman who has ac-
quired Liberty Bond is relieved
from the duty of buying War Saw
ings Stamps. To leave the Stamps
plan of lending money to the Gov
ernment to those of narrow means
and to the young people is to be care
less of the cause of America and her
allies.
Does the average man or woman
who earns a substantial salary or
good wage have any idea of the sa-
crifices made by the small investors
in War Savings Stamps to do their
bit in the war? 1t is often a story
of silent heroism. If those in fairly
easy circumstances emulated the very
poor whose souls are filled with un-
Fielding resolution to do their share
to win the war what a boom there
would be in the Governments re-
ceipts from sales of War Savings
stamps.
Now is the time for everyone, no
matter what his station in life may
be, to make as great sacrifice for
his Government and for humanity as
is made by the most humble of our
citizens. Everyone on or before
June % should pledge himself to
save to the utmost of his ability and
to buy War Savings Stamps with his
savings. There should be an equality
of sacrifice.
