Last Evening.
The Cameron Club of this city fleid

Klipsteip on Prince street.. Over
seventy interested listeners were
present TO hear Mrs. Kate Waller
Barrett, who is always we'll Informed
and brilliant, speak on q subject that,
at present, lies very near to the

individual efforts Of the people Of

past and of the present work OF iae'
local Red Cross in bringing coml2ra
and cheer to the soldiers, but said
that now the War department desired
q coordination of efforts on 5lis part
OF every organization in every cams
city.
II was shown that the number o.
men in the camps that surround
Alexandria will soon outnumber tne
entire population of the city. Tae:e-
fore the churches, fraternal organ:-

DIR. DODGE MUST UNDERGO
A SERIOUS OPERATION

The many friends in Florida and in
the South, and PARTICULARS the hun
dreds of friends in Jacksonville OF
Rev. DR.. William H. Dodge, pastor Of
the East Jacksonville Presbyterian
church, will regret to learn that he is
in a critical condition, that he left
last night for Rochester, Minn., to
undergo very serious operation in
the Mayo sanitarium.
While DR.. Dodge has been seen
downtown the past few days and ap-
parently his usual self, diagnosis OF
his case made by several prominent
local physicians, resulted in the decis-
ion that his only change for recovery
lay in an immediate operation and he
left last night for Minnesota, accom-
panied by his son, William H. Dodge,
Jr., who reached here yesterday
morning from Chester, Pa, as did
also Eugene D. Dodge, from Philadel-
phia, who is stationed at Hog Island
Mrs. Dodge. who has been i'll for
several days. was unable to accom-
pany her husband, but it is expected
that She will be able to take the trip
early next week, when she will leave
for Rochester, Minn., accompanied by
her son, Judge John w. Dodge, Of
Riverside.
DIR. Dodge and his family have the
sincere wishes of their many friends
for not only very successful opera
tion, but rapid recovery to perfect
health again. A man of strong per-
sonality, kindly thought and big
heart, and for two score years pas
tor in this community, he has the
sympathy and good will of hundreds
and hundreds of young and old, who
were in his congregation, as well as
of friends who know him and love
hint Times Union.

THIRD COMMUNITY SING

While the third community sing
was not so well attended as the first
two, it nevertheless drew a large at
tendance and was successfully car
ried out.
Between three and four hundred
people were present and the attend
ance would have been larger, but
about half an hour before the service
began threatening storm cloud
came up and probably kept many
away.
Eric Collier had decorated the
stage with his usual care and good
taste. The decoration was simple and
effective. The big Marion county serv-
ice flag was draped across the back Of
the stage. and a pretty bouquet of the
flags of the Allies stood in the center
of the footlights, among them that of
Japan, the heathen empire which is
as honorable as any Christian nation
ard far more so than some. In
other places. flags were effectively
displayed
The pretty and patriotic program,
as printed in Friday and Saturdays
Star, was carried out to the letter.
Mrs. Hampton's beautiful solos and
Mr.. Lucas fine songs were greatly en-
joyed. A large proportion of the au-
dience helped in singing the various
songs and nearly everybody came in
on the choruses. Miss Irma Blake's
skilled touch on the piano was inval-
liable help.
1t was very pretty and helpful
occasion, and it is to be hoped there
will be another next month.

DELAY MAY MEAN DEFEAT
July Enlistments in Florida Should
Show an Increase on those
of June


Show an Increase on those
of June
The Florida recruiting district re-
ports that for the month of June, 3O2
men applied for enlistment. Of that
number 81 were enlisted by LIST Lieut..
M. j. DePriest, recruiting officer at
Jacksonville, 121 forwarded to the re-
cruit depot, Fort Screven, Ga, for
enlistment in different branches OF
the service and 130 applicants were
rejected for various causes.
While the number of enlistments
and acceptances for June is satisfac-
tory, it is far below the number of
men accepted during previous months
and not in keeping with what Florida
should do in rallying to the flag at
this time Of our struggle for freedom
of the world.
It is the patriotic duty of every
red -blooded American to take some
part in this great struggle for democ-
racy and every able-bodied man
should feel under obligation to his
country to take up arms. Those who
are unable to take an active part
should feel it their duty to encourage
the ones physically qualified for en-
listment and see that they do their
part. A word Of encouragement now
and then, is bound to add more men
to our fighting forces.
The following branches are open
for enlistment to men qualified be-
tween the ages of 18 and 81 and 81 to
Al: Infantry, cavalry, coast artillery,
field artillery, engineers, quarter
master corps and the medical depart
ment. Every expense is paid while
in the service and monthly allot-
ment is made by the government to
dependent parents, wives and chill
dren.
Delay may mean defeat. Go to the
nearest recruiting Office and enlist to-
day. For any information write Re
cruiting Station, u. s. Army, 53-57
West Bay St, Jacksonville, Fla, or
apply at the recruiting Office in the
federal building, Ocala.

OCALA VOLUNTEERS
FOR THE ARMY

The following named men, all from
Ocala, volunteered their services in
the army during the past week:
Louis A. Loos, age 18; quartermas-
ter corps.
Drew D. Ballet, age 10; coast ar
tillery corps.
George B. Chappell, age ID; quar-
termaster corps.
All branches of the service are
open for volunteers from the ages Of
Is to 81 and 81 to Al. Men are want
ed for the u. S. Guards up to the age
of 80 years. The recruiting officer
has been requested to get the names
of men between these ages and their
occupation and reasons for not volun-
teering their services either in the
army or navy. While talking to. q
few men in regard to tenlisting, the
recruiting officer asked them why
they did not volunteer and they re-
piled that they did not know, but just
did not want to. Is that patriotism
We need all the me nwe can get. Your
sons are not bit better than any
one else's. Every one who is phys
ically fit for service should enlist now
and get their training and be ready
There are several families who
have from one to seven of their boys
in the service and there are several
people who have boys who are fit for
the army and navy and at the same
time they are telling their boys not
to 60. We know it is hard for you
to give up your children, but in a
case like this you should encourage
them to go and do their bit with the
rest of the men.
Some gossipers have been telling
around town that the reason the re-
cruiting officers are trying so hard to
get men for the service is that we
get SIS for each recruit. / have the
name of one woman and she is liable
to have to prove this statement. All
we get is the same salary per month
as we would receive in the line She
also has boy about 19 years of age.

and think that some other poor boys
have gone to protect me.
If you are patriotic and do not
want some one else to go and do your
part, just come up and offer your
services.
The government needs you at the
age of 18 as well as 81 or al, and
especially if you are not engaged in
some useful occupation
] am here to get men for the serv-
ice. If / were to sit down and wait
for the men to come / would never
get any. That is the reason we have
to ask and almost beg men to enlist.
They should be men and get into the
service and do their part. You owe it
to your country.
Help to do away with German kul-
tur and protect your mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers. If you don't
want people to think you are slackers,
come up and sign up.

AMERICAN LOSSES
BISHOP MORRISON IN oCALA

Ocala was much honored and edi-
fled yesterday by the presence of
Bishop Henry G. Morrison and his
excellent discourse on Behold the
fowls Of the air" and Consider the
lilies of the field" Matt. 6:26-2S. He
said: Christian life has an active and
passive side." We are much concern
ed over the bread and meat question,
especially at this time, but should not
be so to excess. Life depends on right
activity. Religion is not theory, but
life; when spiritual respiration
ceases, life ceases. Lifeless churches
produce envy. malice and all evil
things resulting in death God teaches
us through birds. who never desc
crate night hours in revelry, but go
to sleep early, waking early with
song, awakening others and gather
ing food which God has prepared.
Early hours are best hours, to be used
systematically Birds are full of rapid
ity-they do their best, then trust
God for the rest. How often this les
son, in fact much of the Bible, is
misread! Birds go for their morning
meal instead of waiting for. it. We
complain of the churches being cold
and sermons dry. We must come
down from our perch, save others and
do Gods work. Help others and get a
reflex blessing. How many in church
doing nothing when the Master said,
go yet unto the harvest" Exercise
is necessary to spiritual life; the
bird sings under all conditions; not so
man. Cheerfulness is force; the
gloomy man doesn't succeed; failure
doesn't sing; cheerful men are loco
motives pulling upward. David cried,
Restore unto me thy salvation .
Those who live in the inner circle get
close to God. His children washed by
His blood and cared for as He careth
for the sparrow. Can't we trust him
and lily life are from God--bird life
active, lily life passive. Consider the
lilies" abiding motionless during life
from earth through roots and the air
above through leaves, our lives unite
with the elements. Consider the de-
velopments, beauty and real charac-
ter which come from the passive side,
Of the lily, which is IN Gods hands,
just as our children are moulded in
oud hands when we nurture them ac-
cording to His word. There is effic-
iency back Of all beauty. Lilies of
the field despite all exposure bloom
according to His will. We forge this
because of prosperity until reserves
come and we fall back helpless on the
bosom of Jesus Christ. We are in
world conflict because of our sins.
God can not save the world by earth
quakes and disasters, only when we
are convicted and humble ourselves
does He by His mercy forgive. As
He grew, ministering and serving, so
must we follow His footsteps, even
though they lead to the cross. God
didn't bring war. How long must we
bleed, how long must crepe hang
from our doors before we are ready
to repent of our sins. How long must
we deny our soldier boys that mill
