Lieutenant Gibbs. the young army
officer, from Gainesville, win address
the people in the Methodist church
tomorrow at p. m. He will speak
at that time because he must leave
on the limited to return to Gaines
vile. He is going to talk on the need
of conserving food, and he will speak
with authority, since he has seen in
France such conservation as our peo-
pie have no idea of. It is to be hoped
he will have a large audience. of both
men and women, for he has interest
ing and important information to i'm
part. Lieut.. Gibbs is a Gainesville
boy, an university man and well
known to many people in Ocala,
where he has often visited. He went
to France late last year In the same
engineer regiment with Edward
Green and Oscar Stueky, two of our
0cala boys. After doing much hard
work, he was taken i'll and sent home
to recover. While he is trying to re-
gain his health. he is trying to serve
his country in telling the people
about what he has seen in France, and
the great need in America for united
and patriotic effort. Give him good
audience.

IN LOVING MEMORY
OF THOMAS S. CLAYTON

How can we let our loved ones go
Who blessed our home so long,
Dispelling trouble with a smile,
Or cheering with song?
How can we spend the lonely days
And bear the sleepless night,
But he has gone to a happy home;
He tried to do what was right.
We surely could not hold him here
When duty's call was plain;
But how shall we live thru the days
He will never return again?
His country called him to its aid
Their need was urgent too,
He would not hold an idle hand
When he had work to do.
His brother remembered his country
Calling for men brave and strong
And / knew when we saw him re-
spending
The struggle would not be for long
Now they sleep in peace undisturbed
Meath the same sod, side by side;
The honor and manhood of the North
And of the South our hope and
pride.
The same sun shines over them both
The same God bends his ear
To catch the sound the breezes tell
In accents low and clear.
And far away in heavenly lands
Their cross its way will take
To find the soldier in his home
And save him for our sake.
With graves kissed only by the sun
light,
Mourned over by the sobbing winds
Adorned by flags of the battle field
Here real heroes of the war we will
find. v. C. w.

TRIPLE TAXES ON
 TOBACCO PRODUCTS
House Committee Agrees on Plan to Raise $350,000,000 on Tobacco as Part of S,000,000,- 900 Revenue Bill.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Heavy in- creases in the present war tax on to- hacco, cigars and cigarettes were agreed to today by the House ways and means committee as part of the new $S,000, 100000 revenue bill The tax imposes three times the existing rates on some items of the schedule and is expected to raise approximate ly $340, 100000 in comparison with the present $16S0O0,000 revenue from tobacco.
 The committee has made substan- tial headway in it's work and some of it's members predicted today that all danger of delay in reporting tobacco is over and that total of $S,000, ,000,- 900 will be provided for and the bill in form to report when the House re- assemblies on August 19 So far, however, there is a large gap between the total estimate from the excess profits and income tax sections and the $6,O0O, O,O0O,00O allotted to those sections in the original plan. The committee, accordingly went back to- day to the income surtaX paragraphs and while there was no definite action, it was evident there would be heavy increases in surtax rates.
 There was also some discussion of two plans to superimpose a strictly war profits tax, one of the plans be- ing for a complete supplemental tax, every dollar of which would be ad- ditional to the excess profits revenue, and the other an alternative proposi- tion under which the treasury would impose either the excess profits tax or the war profits tax, but not both of them, the tax to be imposed being that which would bring the flarger revenue in each individual case

GERMANS NOW
 ARE FORGED ID
 HURRY RETREAT
Washington Officials See POssi- hiIitv of Race fer the Aisne-- Fall of SOissOns Offers Great Possibilities.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The collapse # the German defensive positions met north of the Ourcq forced by the dash of American troops in the center and the brilliant French and British flank operations which followed is sweeping the enemy back out of the A;sne-Marne salient. The rush for ward today came so swiftly that it was difficult for army officials here to onnraise the full extent of the victory. As the situation stood, according to reports late tonight, however, there was a strong possibility that the Ger mans would be driven to the heights north of the Aisne.
 Tonight's official report from Paris carried the most startling message from the battlefield in several days. Soissons, the key of the German right flank in the whole Aisne- Marne posi- ton. was again in French hands. At the same time, the brief announce ment that Thillois, west of Rheims, had been taken, showed that the jaws of the great trap created by General Foch at last had begun to close. What the final result will prove to be cannot be foreseen al this time.
 The recaptme of Soissons is note worthy. The French were forced out of the city, the largest on that sector of the front, in the first German as- sault on the Chemin des Danes last May Its capture by the enemy was long stride on the road to Paris, stride that was definitely checked on- ly when the Germans met American troops northwest of Chateau Therry weeks later and were halted in their tracks and hurled back. To many of llclals here the little stretch of line where the first two American divis- ions caem into action below the Vil- lerS-Cotterots forest will mark the German high water mark.
 Of greater military significance in tomght's report, however, is the ad- vance of tae other jaw of the trap at IhLlois. This was taken to mean the French are pushing in to the north and west of Rheims an advance that may well serve to force the enemy to continue his hurried withdrawal to the Marne without a chance to stand along the Nesle. The left flank of his Ine at the Nesle is in danger of being

HOUSE PASSES THE BILL
.FORD.C.NA7|0NAL GUARD

Tie House today passed the Sem
ate bill providing for the enrolment
of National Guard organizations in the
District of Columbia for the period
of the war.
The primary intent of the bill is
to grant authority by which the
strength of. the National Guard of
the District of Columbia may be aug
mentel and maintained through the
period of the war by permitting the
enlistment of men beyond the age
limit prescribed by law. This is made
conditions in the District are such
that it would be difficult to form at
this time a National Guard force suf-
ficiently large if all the limitations
and restrictions proposed by law with
respect to personnel were in force.
The bill provides that during the
present war the age limit for those
enlisted or commissioned shall be fixed
by the President; that enlistment OF
men beyond the age limit prescribed
by law and the appointment of Off
GERS shall be for the period of the war
and for service in the District and, in
case of emergency, in the adjoining
states of Maryland and Virginia
The bilh was amended by the House
SO as to limit the life of the proposed
law through the period of the war. If
the Senate agrees to this amendment
the bill will then go to the President
for his approval.
