WOULD BEAUTIFY
STATION PLAZA
Civic Committee of Board of Trade
Held a Conference with SeabOard
Division Superintendent

A start has been made looking TO
the parking and beautifying of the
union station plaza. Mr.. L. A. Burns,
OF Tampa, division superintendent of
the Seaboard Air Line, stopped in
Ocala yesterday afternoon, and in
conference with the civic committee
of the Marion County Board Of Trade,
stated that he would ask the division
engineer OF the Seaboard to make an
inspection of the approach to the sta.
ton and estimate the cost of improv-
ing the same. The improvement of this
approach is largely a matter of grad
ing and drainage. With this done, the
construction of the necessary drive
ways and the curbing off of lawns and
flower beds and the planting of palms
and shrubbery, can be provided for
with comparatively little difficulty.
The civic committee of the trade
body had been informed that plans for
the Identification of the plaza had
been prepared at the time of the
building of the union station. Mr.
Burns did not know of such plans He
said that he would find out whether or
not they had been prepared.
The union station plaza is at pres
ent unsightly. 1t Is just a vacant lot
grown up in weeds, and, being BASIN
like, collects the waters that wash
into it as a result of the heavy rains
1t gives the travelling public a very
bad impression of the city. On the
other hand, made attractive by prop
erly laid out driveways, lawns. flow
ers, palms and shrubs, the plaza will
be a great asset to the city and to the
railroads.
The civic committee wants to see
this much needed improvement made,
and hopes that it can be made before
the coming tourist season.

BIG LOAN FOR BELGIUM
PROBING TREATMENT
OF MILITARY PRISONERS

New York, July 30.-Scores of in
stances of brutal treatment of Amer
ican soldiers in the prison camps of
camps, described in some cases as
amounting to system of torture, re-
sponsibility for which was placed by
the witnesses on high army officers,
were related yesterday before the con-
gressional subcommittee which is in
vestigating the disciplinary systems
OF the American expeditionary forces.
The committee. consisting of Repre-
sentative Johnson of South Dakota,
and Representative Oscar L. Bland of
Indiana, met in the disciplinary bar
racks on Governors Island. The third
member of the subcommittee, Repre-
sentative Henry Flood of Virginia,
was not present.
The men "higher up" who were di-
rectly charged by witnesses with re-
sponsibility for the prison conditions
included Brig. Gen. W. w. Harris, for
mer commander of American troops
in the Paris district; Maj. Gen. Fred
erick Smith Strong of the Fortieth
Division; Col. Edgar Grimstead, COM
mander of the 158th Infantry, and Col
]. S. Maui of the field artillery. A
number of captains and lieutenants
also were named as having taken an
actual part in brutal treatment of the
prisoners.

WAR INSURANCE
OF SERVICE MEN
Those Who Have Not Paid Their
Premiums Have an Opportunity
for Reinstatement

The men who were in the service
during the world war, who have drop
ped their war risk insurance, have the
privilege of reinstatement at any time
within nine months by stating that
they are in as good health as when
discharged and upon payment of past
due premiums. This information has
been received from the bureau of war
risk insurance by the secretary of the
Marion County Boar dof Trade. The
secretary has also received applica-
tion blanks for reinstatement and ap-
plication blanks for the conversion of
the war risk insurance into the per-
manent forms of government insur-
ance, and will be glad to give any in
formation. and assistance that he can.
Due to the fact that a great many
men were discharged without being
given proper information concerning
their government Insurance." says a
letter to the secretary of the Board of
Trade, "liberal provisions have been
made for the reinstatement of lapsed
insurance. If a man has not paid any
premiums since discharged, he may
be reinstated any time within nine
months by stating that he is in good
health as when discharged and upon
payment of past due premiums. If he
has paid any premiums since dis
charged but has failed to pay some of
the later ones and has lapsed for more
than two months after grace period,
but less than nine months, he may be
reinstated by furnishing a satisfac-
tory certificate from a reputable ply
sician to the effect that he is in as
good health as at the time when the
last premium was paid, together with
back premiums"
There are six forms of permanent
government insurance into which the
war risk insurance may be converted:
Twenty payment life, thirty payment
life, ordinary life, twenty year endow-
ment, thirty year endowment. and en-
dowment maturing at age 62.
The war risk insurance act pro-
vides that before the expiration of
the five years specified for the war
risk insurance any person holding the
government term insurance may con-
vert it into a permanent form of gov
ernment insurance. If the insured
does not so convert his term insur-
ance within the five years, it will ter
inmate at that time and he will be
unable to obtain any further govern
ment insurance.

AMBASSADOR TRYING

ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 30.-In a men,
orandum submitted yesterday to the

thor of the resolution proposing a
congressional investigation of Mexi-

"It is very clear" declared Gou1d's

the state department has persistently
clouded the Mexican problem, and
that whether by express direction or

THE STOCK SWINDLER

A good deal is being heard just now
about stock swindlers who persuade
thrifty people with a small nest egg
to give up their war savings stamps
or Liberty bonds in exchange for
worthless "shares of stock" If you
think that the stock swindler is al
ways a J. Rufus Wallingford, re-
splendent in white vest, silk hat,
spats, a cane an dfew diamonds, you
are apt to be taken in. For when the
real stock swindler approaches you
probably he will in no way correspond
to the mental picture you may have Of
a promoter of worthless securities.
Here is the way he often looks, and
his method of approach, detailed in
the Dearborn Independent:
He has many ways of approach and
most of them are copied from the
methods employed by legitimate busi-
ness. He may approach you person
ally, or he may do it through the
mails. He may have a highly cOlored
prospective or he may merely make
verbal promises and tell you of the
fortunes made in stocks. Perhaps he
employs newspaper advertisements.
l. is not even impossible that he may
be a resident of your community,
knowingly or unknowingly acting as
the agent of sinister interests. The
chances are that it will be hard for
you to distinguish between the respon-
Sible and the irresponsible concerns.
The latter class always enters the
field under a borrowed mantle of re-
spectability. And the chances are
also that the stock shark who is pro-
ceeding just within the law, not far
within, but far enough so that after
you have relinquished your bond or
your money you cannot reach him.
There are, however, two marks Of
the swindler which are common and
easy TO see. Once you find them be-
ware of the bait that is offered.
These signs are, first: the very
great willingness of the promoter to
take your liberty bond or war savings
stamps in place of cash and, second,
his glowing promise that the invest
ment which he offers will pay big re-
turns Immediately. The former is new
but the latter is old.
If the stock broker who approaches
you contrasts the return on which the
investment he offers with that which
you are getting on your Liberty bond
or war savings stamps. and depre-
ciates the value of clinging to your
government paper, shun him.
But there is duty devolving upon
