NOT DRAMA, But
THE REAL THING
Mars Stages Strange Situations
Produced by Open Fighting
at Front.
reunion IN FRENCH home
Officer Returns After Four Years OF
Hun Occupation to Wife and to
Little Girl He Has Never
--. Seen,


Mons.-The open warfare which
was conducted by the allied forces in
Flanders over long stretches of inhab-
tied territory along the northern bat
tlefront produced strange situations
which were far reach from the trench
fighting, which marked the greater
part of the war.
The correspondent was motoring
along the highway leading to the re-
Gently freed city of Denain when a
French officer beside the road asked
for ride. AS soon as the car started
he leaned out and began to inspect the
surroundings eagerly. Occasionally he
would wave to civilians and shout
greetings.
Asked if he lived in the vicinity, the
officer said that his home was in De-
main, where four years ago he left his
wife to join the colors. Just after his
departure his first child, a daughter,
was born. Then came the German oc-
cupation, cutting off his loved ones.
Now he was going back after these
long years to his wife and the baby he
had never seen.
He was visibly wrought up to the
highest pitch, as well he might be. 1t
was quite possible he might find his
family dead or gone and his home in
ruins.
Entering the city the officer directed
the correspondent toward his home,
through streets showing che cruel
marks of the invaders hate. Turning
into his street, the first house was in
ruins. He gave a nervous Start, but
said nothing. A few doors farther on
was his home, and the car stopped
across the street from it. The officer
climbed out slowly and with an effort,
his eyes fixed on the place.
Afraid of Her Father.
There We're no signs of life. The
windows were shuttered and on the
door was a sign showing that German
officers had been living there. Crossing
the street, the officer pulled the bell
with shaking hand. No one answered,

and leaned against the car, trembling.
Suddenly the door opened and an
aged woman servant appeared in an,
swer to the bell. She was leading by
the hand beautiful baby girl with a
wealth of golden curls. The officer
took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was stranger to his
own flesh and blood.
The child hid behind the skirts of
the nurse, peering out in fright. Un.
doubtedly her mother had told her

ton that men in uniform were bad
and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot. The half
blind eyes of the old nurse had recog
niZed her master, and she held out her
hands to him, repeating, "Monsieur
Monsieur !" in ecstasy. He crossed the
road and grasped her hands, but the
baby drew back still farther.
A door opened at the end of a long
hall and comely young matron came
through TO see what was going on
When half way down the hall she
caught sight of her husband. Sht

and she swayed for a second as though

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF
OLDSMAR.
At Present There Are New Bunga-
lows Under Construction; Addition
Being Made to Novelty Works.

Oldsmar, the wonder city, just half
way between Tarpon Springs and
Tampa, situated on the main bricked
highway and the Seaboard railway, is
indeed a wonderful little city which
two and one-half years ago was will
derness, and it is with pleasure that
The Evening Leader calls attention to
the great development going on there.
All this wonderful progress has been
made against the adverse conditions
of world war, and we might say dur
ing the last and most strenuous two
years of that war. Having accom-
plished so much under such severe
handicap, the question is, what will
Oldsmar do under the favorable condi
tions of peace? The fact is, Oldsmar
on it's merits is getting ready to en-
joy a good old-fashioned boom. New
houses and factory buildings are be-
ing erected at. the present moment;
additional sidewalks are being put in;
large areas of virgin soil are being
cleared in preparation for sale on easy
terms to returning soldiers and sail
ors, and there are dozens of other
lines of activities too numerous to
mention.
We might add that Mr.. R. E. Olds
has been investing money there in
improvements literally every month
right through the war, and in addition
to that, the proceeds from the sales of
real estate are being put back into
further improvements, and this, to-
gether with the numerous advantages
of location which Oldsmar possesses,
makes plain the reasons for its rapid
and healthy growth.
Oldsmar has been carved out of the
forest of Florida in the last two years
and has accomplished more than some
other places do in ten. Numbers of
new settlers have located on their
farms in the surrounding district and
they are receiving cooperation to help
them establish themselves success
fully.
Oldsmar is an asset to the entire
west coast of Florida, and if it main
tains in the future the speed of de-
velopment with which it has started
out, and happily yet maintains, it will
not be many years before it is the
largest city in Pinellas county. 1t is
hoped that the other cities of the
county will speed up and not be en-
tirely surpassed by the new conner;
yet with the millions of R. E. Olds
backing up the new city there is reas-
on for the belief that it will gradually
gain, and overtake many other cities
of far greater age.
Let's all speed up and give the new
conner race for supremacy.

Pay Back to France.

MANY theories being brought forward regarding The
4 retribution to be exaced from Germany after the
final triumph of the allies triumph which no one auv
longer doubts IS coming.
One Of these that after Germany surrendered IN
cond1onaIy there must be item of Just settlement
which has not been discussed up to now It is the return
to France, with interest of the billion dollar indemnity
WHICH Germany levied 1871. It is that
is to endure It demonstrate concusivev that
war does not pay, that the doctrine Of "ight makes
rght IS as obsolete unsuspecng German world
believed It to be on July 81, 1914. It follows that If Ger
many is permitted retain the slightest fraction of
the fruits Of conquest the lesson will been taught
As president Wilson has pointed out the settlement will
not be based on terms but princples-the principles
Of justice It IS that basis that all conquered territory
must be restored and its disposal determined by the wishes
Of its inhabitants. The return of Alsace-Lorrane to
France has therefore become of the elementary cond
tons of settlement.
But what of the five milards of francs which Ger
many wrung from stricken France-garsoning coun-
try until the paid? This punitive indeuni-
ty (for the entire FIancoPrussian was waged on
French so adapted by the Prussians the manners
and customs of Attia and Theodore while the house
of Hohenzoern had long before begun expand at the
fort IN 1871 that the present day Germany for the first
time tasted blood and began to lust for world domination
It has become entirely evident that the crime of PTussal
revealed in the present cannot be ASSOCIATED
from the FrancoPrussan and the 40 year preparation
that followed For the of AlsaceLorraine and
the accompanying billion dollar theft which first revealed
kultur that there seemed to be shorter pros
perity than by honest toll and friendly commerce.
Now Germany must be taught lesson and not partcu
larry through punitive methods either The lesson must
from and the method be by making the thief
give back all stolen and made to pay for all
the damage he has DONE far that is humanity possible
The lesson viii not be alone for Germany. It viii be
for all the world for every nation in which the lust for

Bedtime Story for the Little Ones
UNCLE WIGGILY AND HIS NEW TIE
BY HOWARD r. GARIs r---

4 nickle and all like that: and she
wouldn't buy hardly anything. That's
what shopping is.

Tor you. said the muskrat lady,

" said the bunny rabbit gentleman.
7 have everything I want"
Maybe not" spoke Nurse Jane. and
she looked right at the bottom Of his
collar where his necktie was.
Now Uncle Wiggily didn't like to
go shopping one bit But. having
given his promise, and being q brave
rabbit gentleman. he hoped off with
Nurse Jane, leaving the hollow stump
bungalow behind him. Off they went
over the fields and through the woods.
and the fields and by and by they
came 10 the one and two cent store.

Jane.

she said TO Uncle Wiggily. 7 saw that

he pretended TO like his new tie.

was a gentleman
Vow come on" said Nurse Jane,

So Uncle WiEEily tagged along
with her. and he was glad he then had

Nurse Jane put up her paws, and so
did Uncle Wiggily. and in one paw
the bunny had the red necktie the
