Citizens Of ocala Return Thanks

Citizens of OcaIa Return Thanks
The citizens of 0cala feel deeply
indebted to the young ladies of the
"A club and their host of charming
assistants for the royal way in which
they were entertained at $50 o'clock
on the morning of the 18th of July.
Never had the tuneful whistle of Tay-
lor's mill sounded more melodious,
than for ten minutes on yesterday
morning. Never were guests more
'joyfuIIy awakened, or more thorough
Iy aroused. And if in the course of
events, the time ever comes when it
seems expedient to return the COM
pliment, rest assured the "A" club
will not be forgotten. It is impossi-
BILE to give the names of all the par
Elephants but we are glad to inform
the public that the cars were driven
by the following original, bright
minded, capable young ladies': Misses
Mabel Meffert, Nettie Camp, Ella
Mae Rivers. Ava Lee Edwards, Mrs.
Dudley Spain and that handsome boy,
Bernard Koonce. There was also a
bridegroom in the party, well known
for his good looks. He is not a for
|eigner as his name might Indicate,
but "a true-blooded American, as was
fully indicated by the forcible man
ner in which he led in the ringing of
the liberty bells. So with the ringing
of the fire bell and other noises, our
hosts had so kindly arranged for,
there was no excuse whatever for
any citizen within the city limits not
getting up early to enjoy the glorious
fourth.

Dovie Gates, have gone to Atlanta to

SHIPPING BOARD To
CENTRALZE OFFICES
$5.OOO.OO0 Building Planned to
House All Divisions.

A permanent home in a building
costing 100000 is the plan of the
Shipping Board. announced last night
by Chairman Hurley. The funds are
available. said the chairman, and rep
resentatives Of the Board now are
busy inspecting various sites. The
President is expected to be asked to
approve a proposed site within the
next week.
II is the idea of Chairman Hurley
to make the Shipping Board home an
attractive unit of the Washington city
building plan. A five-story building
will be erected on a site of 10000
square feet, affording 10000 square
feet of office space.
The various branches Of the Ship
ping Board now are scattered in
twenty-four buildings. Four auto
mobiles in constant service are re-
duired to make the daily rounds.
Chairman Hurley said 1t was a
question of expending n.5OO.Oo0 in tenn
porary structures, requiring three
months to build. or putting the full
amount Of 100000 in q permanent
building. which could be finished
within two or three months additional
time. The decision was in favor OF
the permanent structure.

tween Wytschaete and La Bassee
back to Hazebrouke is i'm the nature
of a shallow basin surrounded by
high ground. Into this basin the
Germans have penetrated to a maxi
mum depth of about ten miles and
on'a front OF about fifteen miles be-
tween Ploegsteert Wood and La Bas-
see, but they have failed to force
the British from the hills stretching
west from Wytschaete and at the
south end of their ATTACK have been
held in the line Festubert, Givenchy
and Hulluch and have thus been kept
from Bethune, which was their i'm
mediate objective in that region. These
two failures leave them, in spite of
all their gains in the center. In an
uncomfortably narrow salient, DOM
mated by higher ground in the hands
OF, the British.
THE British are In fact in a strong
position to meet further attacks
which are bound to come. Their own
and French re!nforcements are reach
ing them and behind them they have
the line Of hills running from Wyts-
chaete on the line OF KENNEL, scher-
penberg. Mont Kokercele, Kruystrete,
Saint-Sylvestre to Cassel. To achieve
a success that will compensate them
for the losses incurred by the great
number Of divisions lover tWenty)
used in the initial attack, the Ger
mans will moreover have not only to
occupy those heights but to press on
through the country behind, which Is
undulating and broken, and the de-
fensive qualities Of which the British
commander-in-chief is not likely TO
have overlookedS-that, however, is for
the future.
The main thing about the situation
as 1t stands today Is that by failing
to break through between Ypres-
Confines canal and wytschaete and
thus to push the British from the
ridge running west towards CasseI,
the Germans find themselves in an
awkwardly narrow salient. For that
reason. IL for no other, the battle is
bound to continue with great ferocity,
as Field Marshal Haig warned the
british army in his special order Of
the day published in today's news
papers"

stan officers in Washington is the
fact. reported today. that the SOUTH
crn extremity of the British line
at Givenchy still holds, which
means that the Germans have again
failed to drive a wedge between
the British and the French.
Force of Drive Diminishing.
In the Armentieres sector also
the indications are that the force
of the German attack is diminish
ing. At various points along the
Franco-Belgian line the Prussians
have tested, the mettle Of the
Americans and have retired under
cruel punishment. Attempts on the
part OF the enemy TO take by storm
positions in Brulewood, advices
show. were terribly costly to him.
The immediate objective OF the Ger
mans in their Flanders drive, it now
seems clear. is the important railway
point at Baileul, from which the Brit
ish positions along Messines Ridge are
supplied. Fighting in the region of
Neuve Eglise and Wulverghem. re-
ports say. has been OF an extremely
sanguinary character
West of Merville the German ad-
vance against Hazebrouck, another
important supply center. has been
checked. So also have the British, at
Lecon, apparently. stopped him in his
drive towards Bethune.
French dispatches received here say
that Rheims is reported partly in
flames. with the French defenders
working heroically to have the his
toric city with its majestic, she'll
battered cathedral. Hangard, on the
Somme front, has been wrested from
the enemy in a vicious joint attack

CAPT. ]. TRAVIS dead;
AZ YEARS At HOUSE
Veteran Doorkeeper. Friend of
Congress, Passes On.

Capt. John Alvin Travis, for A years
a doorkeeper at the House and Sen
ate galleries, died at his home. 1908
East Capitol street, early this morn
ing. Capt Travis, the friend of every
member of Congress, was 81 years of
age. He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Amy Travis. who before her mar
riage, was Miss Amy Spaulding.
Capt. Travis was born in Hornells-
vile, n. Y. He lost a leg in the bat
tie OF Charlottesville during the
civil war while leading his men. the
Eighty-slxth New York Volunteers.
After the war he was appointed door
keeper Of the House, and for the last
thirty years has guarded the en-
trance Of the Executive gallery of the
Senate.
Speaker Champ Clark. Uncle Joe
Cannon and scores of other members
OF both houses Of Congress were pres
ent at birthday party given to Capt.
Travis on his S1st birthday, less than
a year ago. A letter was sent by
President Wilson who was unable to
accept the Invitation rendered him.

DRAFT LIMITS
NEXT QUOTAS
TOCLASS ONE
House Passes Bill Changing
Method Of Selecting Re-
cruits for Army.

The House passed yesterday the
bill limiting the next draft OF men
to Class 1. Its chief backer, Rep
resentative Kahn. of California. de-
clared 1t made the selective draft
act truly selective."
The Senate has passed a similar
measure. A conference will be
held between the two Houses early
in the week.
For future call of men. the quo
tas which the various districts will
be called on to furnish will be
based on the number of men in
Class 1 they have. A fight to have
Der Of registrants Of all classes was
beaten. This would have necessita-
ted, in districts where many men
are engaged in war work, the call
ing Of some men of Class 2.
An attempt was made to exempt
farmers and agriculture laborers
from the draft. When Representa-
tive Harrison, Of Virginia, saw he
could not win, he withdrew It.
The House will take up early in
the week a bill calling men who
have become 81 years of age since
last June into service. There is
practically no opposition.
Republican leaders pointed out
that the anti-Administration Shall
enberger amendment to the draft
law would have been carried but
for Republican support Of the War
Department program. The vote
was: For the amendment. 1o4 Dem
ocrats and IA Republicans; against
the amendment. rs Democrats and
166 Republicans.

PAPERS SAY
EMPEROR CARL
SHOULD RESIGN
Swiss Editors Declare ADD
cation Only Course After
Letter Writing

Not only did Emperor Carl Of Aus
tria, write that Alsace-Lorraine should
be returned to France, but his now
famous letter to Prince Sixtus was
submitted as soon as II was received
In Paris to an interallied council and
the members of the council decided
that the time was not ripe for fol-
lowing UP the Austrian overtures.
This fact was brought out In dip
lomatic dispatches received here yes
terday. They further reveal that
Carts vociferous denial Of his offer
was made to the German emperor an
hour or two before Premier Clemen-
ceau made public the text OF the let
ter to Sixtus.
Premier Clemenceau only made pub
lie the text. the Paris papers say, be-
cause he was not willing that the
charge Of untruth against him by the
Austrian emperor should stand for a
single moment.
All Of the Paris papers accept the
authenticity Of the letter without
question. Prince Sixtus de Bourbon.
the Austrian Emperor's brother-in-
law to whom he wrote the now IA
nous missive, is a soldier Of France,
on active duty with the French army.
An interesting sidelight on the Incl
dent is cast by comment Of the Swiss
correspondent OF the German papers
be fore the text Of the letter was made
public. One Of these men declared
that II the letter was true there re-
manned nothing for Emperor Carl to
do but to abdicate his throne.
Another. endeavoring to palliate the
ofrense Of the Austrian ruler, declar-
ed that the letter had not been writ
ten by him, but by his mother, the
Duchess Of Pama. Carl, the CORE
spondent asserts, only added a few
lines Of his own to the missive, thus
unfortunately enabling the French
to attribute the whole document to
him.
It Is not known here whether the
United States was represented at the
interallied council to which the letter
was submitted. II a representative
of this country was present. he was
there in a purely informal capacity
as the letter is dated we'll before the
organization Of the interallied council
attended by Col. House and en-
Bliss.
The reasons for the rejection of the
Austrian suggestions were the favor
able military situation at that time.
The Italians were pressing the Aus
trians hard on the IsanZo and the
Russian army had not yet collapsed,
while the Western front was holding
firm and the United States was pre-
pairing to enter the war.
