BLURRED IN THE RUINS
OF THEIR HOME

A dispatch from London says.
The death of Mrs. Lena Guilbert
Ford, the American woman who
wrote "Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing" one of the most popular march
ing songs of the British army, and
her crippled son Walter, was a pathe-
tic incident of the German air raid on
London. They died under the wreck
age of their home.
Mrs. Ford and her son were in bed
at the time of the raid in adjoining
rooms of the second floor of a four
story house in a long block of sub
stantial brick structures. A bomb
appears to have hit the room close to
the partition wall dividing the Ford
house from the adjoining building. 1t
shattered the roof and upper floors,
which gradually collapsed with part
of the wall.
The heavy beams and brick wall
fell through the building, enveloping
the chambers occupied by Mrs. Ford
and her son. They were thus impris-
oned for several minutes before the
second floor collapsed under the
weight of the wreckage, carrying
them to the first floor, and then, after
another pause, to the basement. They
died probably from suffocation, and
are the first Americans to lose their
lives in an air raid on London.

PASS THE APPLES
(Contributed)

When every pool in Eden was mir
ror,
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without a single
fear or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became inclined to be a
prude,
And found that evermore she'd have
to grapple
With the much debated problem of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of con-
vention,
And modesty, as well, suppose.
Reactions come about in fashions,
recent,
Now girls conceal so little from the
men.
1t would seem, in the name of all
that's decent,
Some one ought to pass the apples
round again.

Old man Asa G. Gambler of Atlanta
has done the country a service by
making fight against the two black
mailers, Cook and Mrs Hirsch, the
latter of whom was found guilty Sat-
urday evening, fined $1,000 and SEN
fenced to year in jail It is the way
of the world to believe man guilty
of the charge brought against Cand-
Ter, whether he is guilty or not.
Knowing that, the average man, even
if innocent, prefers to pay black
mailer, rather than face the publicity
he must incur by fighting his perse-
cutors. People ike Cook and Mrs.
Hirsch are enemies of society, and
deserve punishment when they try to
blackmail man, even if he is guilty.
Old man Gamblers nerve to make a
fight, and the conviction of the two
crooks, will discourage their tribe and
deter them from trying to victimize
other men.

state. He is both an able and gifted
speaker, and as Bible scholar he has
few superiors. Governor Cats pres
ence in the city is due TO his accep-
lance of an invitation from T. w.
Bryant to address the negroes at a
meeting to be held in the Tabernacle
at 8 o'clock this afternoon, and it is
safe TO say that the governor will
give the colored race some advice
that will, if acted upon, make them a
better and happier people, deserving
of the good will of mankind"

OTTMANN'S EFFORTS
ARE APPRECIATED

Rev. Gilbert A. Ottmann, rector OF
Grace church, has just received a
pleasant compliment. At Christmas
he sent to the members of his parish
a Christmas card, and with it little
folder entitled 1.-TWO Prayers" in
which was printed Canon WILDER
forces poem, "Just for Today" as a
morning prayer, and poem by Mr..
0ttmann entitled Tonight" as an
evening prayer, with the request that
these be read at night and morning
every day by those busy people who
think they have not time to say their
prayers A friend who received one of
these folders showed it to some other
friends with the result that Mr.. Ott-
mann has just received a request
from Mrs. John Wanamaker of Phil
a delphia, for one thousand copies
which she wants to give to some of
the soldiers who are going to France.

A practical friend of the Star
writes as follows: "While in Atlanta
yesterday, / thought of the enormous
amount of labor that could be used to
SO much better advantage If the gov
eminent would make it a national law
compelling all hotels and cafes to en-
ploy mattresses instead of walters,
for there are lots of honorable poor
girls who would be only too glad to
fill such positions and at the same
time feel that they were doing pat
riotic duty. This of course would
turn loose thousands of men who are
physically able to do any kind of
labor"

Two or three times, the Star has
remarked on the inconsistency of
Americans becoming angry to hear
music written by such famous Ger
man composers as Handel, Beethoven
and Wagner played in public. Now,
we wish to say we think it would be
mighty good policy, and also show
good taste, If not patriotism, for
Americans who like to hear German
music, to refrain from having it
played in public until the war is over.
1t makes good many people angry
to hear ito them it seems bad
accompaniment to the crash of ex-
ploding shells and torpedoes that kill
our soldiers or sailors every day.
When one loyal American does some
thing that hurts or Anglers another
loyal American, he hurts our common
country and makes it's enemies glad.
We have plenty of good music with
out German-let it retire to modest
obscurity until the war is over.

We find the following extra funny
notice in the Gainesville Sun Of Sum
day:
"For fear Governor Cats speech to
the negroes in the Tabernacle today
will be misconstrued by some, it is
not only proper but just to state that
it will have no political significance
whatever. He was invited by the Bry-
an Brothers, two men interested in
the religious and racial betterment of
their people, to make them an adj
dress on these lines alone. The gov.
ernor viii preach at the usual morn
ing hour in the. Baptist church, and
will address the negroes at p. m.
There will be only two addresses
made by the governor. j. w. T."

We have had some pretty lively
tits defending the governor of this
state and said enough about brother
editors to fill volume of the size of
a Congressional Record, and now we
are man enough to come out and
apologize, especially to Goode M.
Query and Editor Benjamin. At the
time we were defending the principles
which we still uphold, as the gov
ernor claimed to stand for them we
fought for him. But he has shown his
colors and traded principles for poll
tics, and just as the Tampa Tribune
says, he has got his claws out in ev-
cry direction. Lakeland Star.
Bloom needn't apologize to US.
While we have objected TO his intol-
erance in matters of religion and
thought he was sometimes too abu-
sive, we have always believed he had
the courage of his convictions and the
courage to admit mistake. He is
fulfilling our belief.

ACROSS ATLANTIC
BRITISH EXPERT CLAIMS TEN
THOUSAND COULD BE FLOWN
TO FRANCE BY MAY l. 1919

Washington, July fs.-"We car
make enough airplanes in this coun-
try by April l, 1919, to defeat the
Germans within 80 to 60 days if we
start now, and every one of these
machines can be delivered to France
under its own power, carrying with
it its full military loan Of bombs,
guns and men without single ton
OF cubic foot of shipping space being
used"
This was the statement made re-
Gently at the Aero Club of America
by W. H. Workman, special repre-
sentative of Handley Page, Lirlited,
British airplane manufacturers.
ne outlined a program which he
said could be carried out under the
supervision of Handley Page, inven-
tor Of the great British bombing
planes, without interfering with the
present aircraft schedule.
1.-The machine l propose putting
into production for this work is the
super Handley Page aerial dread
n"ught. The macl!:nc will rot only
make the trip sc-o>s the Atlantic
with its full load, but can do it with
a large factor of safety. ~-.
"The route l propose taking is
from Newfoundland to the Azores,
thence to Portugal and France.
"Production districts, such as
Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit and Grand
Rapids, can do a certain amount of
the work necessary to produce 10000
of these airplanes, deliveries to start
December l., 1918, and all to be in
France by May l, 1919, provided they
receive word before August to pro-
ceed with the installation of the ma
chine tools and jigs necessary for the
work.
What Planes Could Do
"Ten thousand airplanes would be
sufficient to drop $4,000 tons of ex-
plosives every night on German lines
Of communication, bridges, ammuni.
tion dumps and plants and fortified
places. This is equal to $1,000 Of
the largest shells fired by the big.
gest guns yet constructed, out 16'
inch coast defense guns. The Hand
ley Page aerial dreadnought will
easily carry from Paris to Berlir
several times the destructive power
Of one of such shells and do it night
ly week in and weok out. And at tn
end of 30 or 60 days, if there wer'
anything left Of the Germans, the!
