RAILROAD WORK
 WILL CONTINUE

A persistent rumor was afloat for the past several days that construc- tion work on this end of the railroad would shut down for the winter. An inquiry of one of the officials of ;Ae road gave direct denial that such was the intention. The work vii! go on as long as men can be had to labor Weather conditions may con- pei lay off but nothing else.
 There is sufficient grade construct ed and plenty of material on hand to keep the men working for some weeks to come and until such time as there remains no work to be done those men who so desire will be kept busy.

PROOF POSITIVE.

When the allied armies actually occupy Metz and Strassburg, then, beyond all ques- tion of doubt, the war will be over. When these two strongholds are in the hands of the allies, it is proof positive that there can be no more fighting on the western front in the present war; It was these two frontier, fortified towns that Germany considered the final barricades against any invasion by a foreign force, and when they are no longer held by the Germans, the last possibility of any continuation of the war is gone; the war is over
 A glance at any good map will show the reason for their strategic value, the control ing positions which they hold, and the way in which they could be used to force all Ger many to come to terms. Without them, Ger many is helpless to withstand any attacks of an enemy at her borders, and is powerless to stem any drive that might be made across her territory. When the American and al- lied armies, led by General Foch, and all the other famous generals, together with the prominent French leaders, enter these two cities, the final act of the war will have talk en place and the prospects of peace will have become certainty.

The Big Day At
Romeo

We were SO hurried in our writeup
Of the big political speaking at 70
me0 bOtn for time and space that We
clearly omitted to mention the chief
feature of the big gathering and that
was the Dig dinner
If Mr. Hoover could have been pres
ent and had taken an inventory of it
we do not know what would have been
his conclusions, but we do know that
if he is possessed of any appetite at
all he must have enjoyed it.
So far as satisfying the wants of
hungry men or even the epicur-
ian that dinner could not have been
surpassed by BelIshazzar's great feast.
Chicken was served in all the va
rites known to the culinary art; home
cured ham vegetables, breads. pick
les. cakes. pies and numerous c0nfec-
tons ware in lavish abundance
After doing full Justice to all the
good things Of the table there vas
enough left over to have fed as many
more two times over
The splendid dinner leads us to say
that We we're told that the good peo-
Of that section of the country are pros
pering as never before. They are
blessed with herds Of cattle and rails
ing hogs is becoming one of their
chief industries We are told that
one farmer made just the other day
a single shipment Of hogs for which
he received a check for twenty-five
hundred dollars The party who so
informed Us said thai if he had re-
ceived a check few years ago for as
much as fifty dollars it would have
been surprise to his neighbors. The
success Of this one farmer is only an
index to the success of many It is
marvellous how they are succeeding
and d few years more will unfold
wonderful story

CONDITIONS IN BRAZIL

Ocala Fla, May 10, 1915.
EditOr OcaIa Bannec !:


To the Editor Ocala Banner:
note with some surprise your para
graph Of May 9th which asks What's
the matter with Brazil and those 9TH
er Latin republics that have declared
war on the kaiser Why are they
not getting busy, etc. ?"
During residence OF a year and
q half in northern Brazil I have had
opportunity to watch her progress in
the war, and am at loss to under
stand what IS meant BY the statement
that she seems mot TO have common
ced functioning"
In the first place there has been
no request from the allies for troops
from Brazil and the other Latin re-
pubIics. It goes without saying that
these countries have no such muni.
ton and textile facilities as the Z. s
The problems of arming aud equip
ing soldiers in isolated and unieyel-
oped regions are so acute that It lit
orally would not pay the allies 70
transport such expeditionary forces
while thousands are elsewhere ready
and waiting to go TO the front.
Brazil entered the war only last
October AMI Immediately passed con-
scription for youths GO nineteen In
every city and small town soldiers are
being drilled, even il some Of the last
raw recruits are barefooted. Il il no
uncommon thing for man to walk
300 miles voluntarily 20 his recruiting
station
The Allies did ask that Brazil serve
as 4 storehouse OF raw supplies, and
she has more than "functioned" in
this capacity. In every port one may
see thousands OF tons OF hides. COZ
fee, cereals, manganese or other min
erals piled up AMI awaiting transpo-.
tation. Brazil might easily have expe-
dited these supplies more promptly
on her own ships had she not turned
over to France 100000 tons OF ship
ping last winter. Very recently, too, !
she has turned over half as much to |
the Z. s, with the prospect of more
to come, a fact openly discussed in (
foreign newspapers. This Is q real /
sacrifice on the part OF country so
dependent upon manufactured impor-
tations. Instead of fifty, Brazil nov
has only three passenger ships plying
between her ports and New York.
Throughout South America it is al
"eh Aho"L V---'o'- unpublished fact, 4
that BraziPs navy is c0oprto.,-- MIN |
Great Britain's
She has also testified to her tradt.
tional entente with France by send I
ing abroad three hundred doctors.
thus depriviug her coast and fever
ridden interior OF much needed medi-
cal aid
Credit where credit IS due Brazil
is bound to the T. 5 by the closest
political amity. and as the leader in
South American affairs her influence
is ever ID second the war efforts of
your own country. Unfounded of care
less criticisms of the type in this par
agraph simply discourage harmony
the Allies, and thereby tend
TO proIong the war.
Very truly yours.
