AMERICA WAS IN.
THE WAR To Win
Because the Germans Understood
That, They Quit Fighting
Last November

Atlanta, April 12.-"If you people
had been over there and seen what l
have seen, you'd dig so deep for the
Victory Loan that it would be over
subscribed the first day." said young
officer of the Seventeenth Engineers,
the regiment which built the great
ST. Nazaire railroad yards in France,
at Camp Gordon recently. The regi-
r1ent has just returned from France
for rehabilitation.
"Not unless you were in Paris
when the Huns were making that
great drive last year can you under
stand what the United, States saved
the world" he continued. Germany
was not licked when she quit. She
quit because she knew she-was going
to be licked. And the thing that con-
vlnced her was the billions of dollars
Uncle Sam was spending to carry on
the war Germany began to under
stand that we were in that war to win
if it took ten years and every dollar
and every man in the United States.
And when that fact once sunk into
the German intellect, it was all off.
The Hun quit cold.
''The war didn't stop when the ar
n1istice was signed. The country had
to carry on, as the English say. 1t
had to keep its men over there until
they could be brought home. 1t had
to carry out it's contracts, and it had
10 finish paying the bills. Those bills
will not be one-hundredth part of the
cost of six months more of war,
which we should have had if we
hadn't made the Hun quit. And l
don't think any red-blooded Ameri-
can will balk at paying the bill. I've
paid part of my share in twenty
months of railroad building in France,
but I'm going to put every dollar /
can scrape together into my country's IS
bonds. Boys, you don't know what a
country you live in until you've seen
Amefica in France"

MORE TROUBLE AT MARIANNA

The Tallahassee correspondent OF
the Tampa Times says:
That nepotism obtains at the Flor.
ida state reform school under the
superintendency of DR.. Frank Nc
CiEne of Ocala, is the contention OF
several former employees of the insti-
tuition, now in Tallahassee to enter
complaint against the management IN
this connection. Two former matrons
of the establishment charge that
since DR.. Mechanics appointment as
superintendent of the industrial
school, which has to do with the cor
rection of delinquent youths convict
ed of crime, the superintendent has
brought his wife. brother and niece
to Mariana and placed them on the
states pay roll.
Mrs. w. H. Taylor, of Palm Beach
county, arrived in Tallahassee yester-
day from Mariana, having given up
her job at matron at MariannR after
having served but two weeks She
succeeded Mrs. Phadie Nicolls, who
served only a few weeks at matron
and who is also now in Tallahassee 20
complain of nepotism and general
mismanagement under the direction
of the new superintedent. They
charge that while they were there as
matrons, Mrs. McClane made their
positions so miserable that they were
forced to leave. The wife of the
superintendent was not then on the
pay roll, but they are of the opinion
her actions were designed TO drive
them away so that she ultimately
could with good grace fall into the
Job of matron.
Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Nichols point
out that Superintendent McClane was
not in Marianna over two months be-
fore he employed the daughter Of his
brother, Will McClane, as his stenog-
rapher, who succeeded a Marianne
girl who had held that position for IA
years. 1t is said that the Marianna
girl resigned after she realized that
she was to be displaced. She is said
to have secured the knowledge thru
the taking down Of a telegram from
the niece of Mr.. McClane over the
telephone from the telegraph Office.
The brother of DR.. McClane is en-
ployed as carpenter at the school, his
duties being the instruction Of the in
mates in the art of carpentry.
Mrs. Taylor, who came all the way
from West Palm Beach to accept the
appointment as matron at the solici-
tation Of Superintendent McClane, de-
clares that Mrs. McClane now is hold
ing that position She charges that
under the present administration con-
ditions are deplorable. She asserts
that the boys are almost unmanage-
able because of the lack of executive
ability on the part Of the superintend-
ent. She declares this is especially
true of the dormitories in which the
white boys are housed. She has only
praise for Assistant Superintendent
Jarnon, who is in charge of the negro
boys.

PUBLIC MARKET DAY
TO Be HELD IN MAY
The Board of Trade Committee Met
This Morning and Decided
on the Date

Tuesday, May 6, will be Public
Market Day in Marion county. The
event will take place in Ocala The
committee appointed by the Marion
County Board of Trade to arrange
the day met this morning in the
Board Of Trade room, decided on this
date and began mapping sut a plan
for making the event a big success
the committee is highly enthusiastic.
On Public Market Day the farmers
Of the county, and any others who
may wish to participate, will be invit-
ed to bring to Ocala farm machinery,
implements, wagons, live stock and
any other articles that they wish to
sell. These things will be put up at
auction. An auctioneer will be pro
vided by the Board of Trade. The
people of the county will have an op-
portunity on Public Market Day of
getting rid of articles no longer of
use to them, and of purchasing at
bargain prices articles that they need.
In this way there will be a redistri-
button of farm machinery and other
things; and these things of no use to
their present owners will get into the
hands of persons who can use them.
There is an immense loss every year,
for instance, Of farm machinery and
property which is lost through not
being used.
The Public Market Day will be
given wide publicity, and as the plans
for the event are perfected announce
ment of them will be made by the
committee, which consists of Messrs.
A. c. Cobb, chairman, c. c. Balkcom
and Max Israelson.
At auction sales of this kind there
is always no end of good fun; so the
day will be not only profitable but
enjoyable, and will afford an oppor-
tunity for the people of the city and
county to get together.
