MRS. JAMES T. HALL

On Aug. 7th, at Gambler, Fla, the
sweet spirit of Mrs. James T. Hall
was taken home. About thirty-five
years ago Mrs. Hall was brought
from Missouri to Florida on cot, a
helpless invalid. She improved some
what under the influence of this won
der working climate, but was never
entirely restored to health. Her life
was a rare combination of strength
and sweetness. While handicapped al
ways by physical suffering, she was
the comfort, inspiration and helper of
all who came within the radius of her
influence. A worldly and skeptical
young man once remarked that an
hour spent by her couch of pain was
heard as proof of the sustaining pow
er of the Christian religion. There
was always smile on her sweet face,
and during close friendship of many
years we never heard one word of
rebellion or complaint. Truly she
lived the Christ life of submission to
the Fathers will and of sympathy
and love and helpfulness to all human
kind.
And, so. when the end came, "sooth-
ed and sustained by an unfaltering
trust, she drew the drapery of her
couch about her and laid down to
pleasant dreams"
Mrs. Hall is survived by relatives
in Missouri, a brother, Mr.. James
Nelson of this city. and a noble
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Thompson Of Gambler,
whose devotion to their invalided
mother has ben tender and unfailing
all along the years.
We sorrow with the dear ones, but
to aunt Sweetie" we say,
Goodnight, we loved thee well,
But Jesus loved thee best;
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight"
Louise Hood.

There are $4,000 Indians of army
age in the country and 5000 are al
ready in the service Some are old
army scouts. and others are drafted
men selected from the different
tribes. They make the best of soldiers.
It is noticeable that the Onondagas,
who are an independent nation and
live on their own land, have declared
war against Germany and intend to
put their 200 fighting men in the AM
erica,. army. Their reason is that
several of their tribesmen, who were
with wild west show. were i'll treat
ed in Germany, and they will no doubt
get even with the Huns for the injury.

The story is going the rounds that
the kaiser in his religious addresses
never mentions Christ. We guess it's
one of those billysunday assertions
that sensationalists are always ready
to make and the ignorant to believe
In July, 1915, when he had been at
war for two years, the kaiser made
speech to gathering of army chap
lains at main headquarters, which was
reported to the Vossisehe Zeitung by
Chaplain Doctor OFT, who heard it.
The speech contained these appeals to
Christ:
eve need practical Christianity TO
bring our lives into harmony with the
personality of our Lord. We must
live simply. according to his acts and
deeds. Gentlemen, how fascinating
and marvelously manifold is his per-
sonalityi We must study it thorough
ly. We live with the Lord Suppose
Christ entered at this moment through
yonder door. Could we look him in, the
face? We must make him the ideal
of our practical life. We must deter
mine to live according to his teach
ings. You must represent him and
show him to us''

MRS. w. F. MALCOLM

The many friends of Mrs. w. F.

grieyed to learn of her. death, which
occurred last night at the home OF
Mr.. w. T. McIlvaine, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Malcolm had rooms.
Mrs. Malcolm had been i'll less than
a week. having returned home last
Thursday from a months trip over
the state with Mr. Malcolm in their
car, at which time she complained of
not feeling well, and she Immediately
went to bed. 1t was not thought she
was in serious condition, and that
she would be out in a day or two; in
fact, she was much better yesterday
and was expected to be up and out
very shortly. She was victim, how
ever, of toxin poisoning which her sys-
tenn was unable to throw off, and the
end came last night at 10 o'clock
Lakeland Telegram.
Mrs. Malcolm has accompanied Mr..
Malcolm to Ocala a number of times,

regret to hear of her sudden and un-
timely death.

1t would be an excellent time to call
attention to the senators and con-
gressmen, Florida's just claim for
environments and other war camps.

A BUNCH of Miami ladies got to-
gether the other day and decided that
the high school girls of that city
should dress in uniform during the
coming term. But suppose some Mi
ami school girl decides she doesn't
want to dress in uniform, and her
father backs up her decision, by going
to the courts if necessary? Why didn't
somebody tell those good Miami ladies
that there is no law allowing them to
prescribe dresses for other peoples
children.

President Wilson is plainly telling
the democratic voters of the various
states the names of those senator's
and congressman who have not back
ed him up in his war work. Under
ordinary circumstances, we would not
approve of the president interfering
in such matters, but in the present
crisis we think he has right to ask
the people to elect only men in full
sympathy with everything done to
vigorously prosecute the war.

Another hopeful sign is that the
Germans are trying TO make the
crown prince the goat for the recent
reverses to their army. 1t is toler-

But it is a good thing for the Ger
mans to get where they can blame
their royalties. even tho unjustly.

Work of drafting legislation was
begun today by Chairman Kitchin of
the house committee on ways and
means to provide for an additional
bond authorization of $4,000, 0OO, GOO
more than the s3,666, 100000 already
authorized but not issued for the in
creased rate of interest, for continu-
ance of loans to the Allies this sum-
mer and for issuance of more than
the $4,OOO,OO0,O00 certificates of in
debtedness now authorized.
An effort will be made to rush This
legislation through both houses this
week. No opposition is looked for
in either house.
The demand for the bonds was re-
stunned at midday on a huge scale and
by 1 o'clock sales approximated the
total of $2O,0O0,O0O, exceeding even the
largest full days trading in the his

London, March 26-In the engage
ment between German and Allied
destroyer squadrons off Dunkirk last
Thursday the British destroyer Botha
cut German warship in half and
took a leading part in the fight all
though her main steam pipe had been
severed by a stray shell.
Early last Thursday morning the
British destroyers Botha and Morris
and the French destroyers Capitaine
Mehl, Magon and Boucher were pa
trolling the eastern waters of the
English channel when they heard
enemy ships bombarding the coast of
Dunkirk. They fired star shells
which had the effect of silencing the
bombardment and scattering the enc
my.
The destroyers started in pursuit
of the Germans in a northwesterly
direction and discovered eventually
that the enemy ships were making
for their base. A grim little fight en-
sued, according to the stories of eye
witnesses.
None of the German torpedoes
found a mark, but the Morris, emerg-
ing from an enemy smoke screen, cut
off German destroyer of a large type
and torpedoed her at a range of 500
yards There was an explosion in
the enemy vessel and she sank i'm
1nediately.
Meanwhile the Botha had been
crippled and she began to lose her
way. The crew determined to dc
