The organization of a twenty miliOn-dollar corporation to
barter and trade in the Near East with foreign headquarters in
Constantinople and branches reaching out into Syria, Armenia
and the Black sea territory, may be expected to inspire new
arguments for the acceptance by the United States of a man
date for Turkey and Asia Minor.

In France they have a joke to the effect that the American
secretary of state spells his name L-a-ns-i-n-g, but they
call it House. But we take it that even that sort of a joke
viii not embarrass Mr.. Lansing, who has been glad to hold
so high an office even nOminally.

Mr.. Taft told the people of Des Moines that the idealstic
classes are for the league. But the idealistic classes before the
war were for embargoes and everything else the Germans
wanted. There is such a thing as too much idealism. 1t
would lie q noble idealism for us to become the uncle to the
whole world, pay all the debts and feed them all. But it
would hardly be either practicable or sensible.

Time enough has elapsed to enable the Germans to think
that the armistice represented a mutual surrender instead
of an abject one on the part of the enemy.

Germany seems to be taking this new treaty much more
seriously than it took the Belgian treaty. Evidently it isA
convinced that the allied nations do not intend to have the
new treaty strapped as was the old one.

MEG o. THE PRAIRIES
By Bobbie Burr

followed. Kurt turned and walked back
to the last row of seats, the only ones
vacant
The theatre was dark. An improvised
orchestra was essaying something that
sounded like the strains of Dixie. :"
Columbia. America and the "Star
Spangled Banner combined, and the
audience were continually standing up
and sitting down. in a state of be-
wildermcnt and doubt as to which was
the national air.
For an instant. when the first picture
of The Thief was thrown on the
screen. Kurt felt a queer sensation as
one who intuitivcly perceives something
of danger in the dark. A swift. warn
ing note like sharp pain struck him.
With tense nerves, he waited for the
scenes in which she would appear. All
the little well remembered gestures. the
graceful movements, the tender graces
which he had been wont to steel himself
against were there. They brought him
feeling that was exquisite in its pain.
With no outward show of emotion his
whole being quvered and throbbed at
each appearance of the boyish figure
ever recurring on the screen.
Once her eyes. wistful and entreat-
ing, seemed to meet his in mute re-
proach. Then the little theatre was
lighted. the improvised orchestra re-
newed its efforts. lie went quickly out
and stopped at the hotel to leave note
for Kingdom. Again he walked and lost
himself in memories, seeing -as in a
mirror all the incidents that had so in :
trigucd his interest, but which now in
the light of his new understanding,
seemed so very patent.
Suddenly he recalled her letter still
unread. That might show some mo-
tive for her incognito and explain her
arrest by Bender.
He returned to the hotel. The hour
was very late. He learned that the
ranch party had long since departed and
that Larry Lamont had gone to his
room.
With a queer little catch of ex-
pecrancy in his throat, he held the
letter for a moment pressed tight in
his hand. Then he opened it.

GOFF-RAYSOR

Mr.. L. M. Raysor of Lowell an

after the happy couple proceeded to
Rutherford, N. j., where they will
make their home.
Lieut.. Golf received his discharge
from the army on June 1st and will
&C back to his former vocation, chem
istry, having made quite a success in
that line before he volunteered his
services for his country.
Mrs. Golf as Miss Raysor was
formerly one of Ocala's most popu,
lar and attractive young women and
for the past ten months showed her
patriotism by going to Washington,

NEW CITY DIRECTORY

R. L. Polk & Co., directory pub
are beginning a canvass of
the city for a new edition. The last
was published in 1914 and showed a
of 6048. On account of war
conditions this work has been sus-
pended until the city is in need of a
revised directory. Ocala should and
probably will have a new directory
every two years if the business peo-
pie will give it the proper support. In
a city of this size it is generally con-
sidered an absolute necessity which
can only be had by cooperation on the
part of the people with the publish
ers. A personal call will be made at
every place of business and every
residence in the city and suburbs in
order to secure the necessary data.
The full name and occupation of eve
ry one over 16 years of age, is desir-
ed, and assistance in obtaining this
information will be highly appreciat-
ed.
