EACH FOR HIS own
American, Frenchman and Britou
Backs Up His National
Statesman
New York Timesl

Paris, March 25.-There is gloom
in "well-informed circles" of Paris
gloom as leaden as the humid sky
that saturates the impatient mobs
around the insufficient motor buses or
overcrowded subways. Even the pro-
fessional optimists and balm-pourers,
who gravitate on the. outskirts of the
peace conference are. gloomy-gloomy
because they know what's wrong but
don't know how to remedy it.
Here is the explanation. PROFOUND
ed unanimously-though with certain
changes-by Frenchman, British
er and an American. Each was q
man of weight and spoke with So
lemnity:
Said the Gaul: "Poor old Clemen-
ceau! How can you expect him to get
results, when, as soon as a decision
is nearly reached, Lloyd George or
Wilson has a new idea, and every
thing goes back to where it began
Hungarian soviet film would have a
short run, and the Bolsheviki~and the
Boches alike would toe the line bien
vite."
The Briton began: al admire your
president immensely. and Clemenceau
it splendid. but"-he sighed heavily
"the former has so many ideas and
the latter is so hard to pleased As
every one knows, Lloyd George excels
in compromise, but eevn he is finding
it dreadfully difficult. If only they
would give him free hand, then we
would see results"
The American was long past COM
pliments.
when Lloyd George will keep one
eye on his miners, how can he see
anything straight" he said. "And
Clemenceau seems to think you can
settle world problems with talk. If
cnly they would leave it to President
Wilson! He'd settle it. Rations and
reasons are the real preventive
against Bolshevism, not slaughter and
starvation. Just give President Will
son a free hand, and you'll get re-
suits"
This is true story. Perhaps the
moral is that diplomacy. like war. re-
quires single leader.

WOODMEA WILL Be
WARMLY WELCOMED
Ocala is Preparing to Give the Flor
ida Choppers One of the Times
Of Their Lives

Plans for the entertainment of the
head camp Woodmen Of the World,
next week, are fast being whipped
into shape. The city is being decorat-
ed for the occasion and already has a
gay and festive appearance. 1t Is
proposed to give the visitors q warm
welcome, and one that they will not
soon forget. The board of trade is
working in cooperation with the
Woodmen Of the city, and has ap-
pointed committees to assist in every
way for the purpose of making the
convention a big success.
AT the meeting Of the board Of
trade last night, Mr.. Jake Brown
urged that the decorating Of the city,
and especially the business sections,
be carried out to the fullest extent.
President Duval named Mr.. A. Q.
Cobb, Mr.. John Spencer and Mr.. Whit
Palmer to assist the regular enter
tainment committee of the board In
making ready for the reception of the
visitors. Mr.. Duval stated at the
same time that every member of the
organization would act as members
of general welcoming committee;
and, at the instance of Mr.. c. w. Hun
ter, chairman of the permanent en-
tertainment committee, badges were
authorized for the members Of the
board, so that the visitors will have
no difficulty in obtaining any informa-
tion desires.
Ocala has a reputation for enter
tanning and 1t is the desire Of the
Woodmen of the city and the men,
bers of the board of trade that this
reputation be sustained next week.
1t is expected that the WoodmenN
from out of town will begin arriving

0cALA WILL co AHEAD
New Board of Trade Secretary Lets
No Grass Grow Under His Feet
but Takes Hold at Once

The Marion County Board of Trade
now has a secretary, and this fact
with the unusually large and repre-
sentative meeting of the organization
last night means that the city and
county are alive, and do not propose
to lag behind the rest of the country
in the forward sweep of reconstruc-
ton. The board of governors met yes
terday morning and selected Mr..
Louis II. Chazal as secretary, and
this choice was confirmed at the meet
ing last night. Mr.. Chazal will begin
his work as secretary April 1. and
will have an assistant.
Calling attention to the fine record
made by Ocala and Marion county in
war activities, Mr.. Chazal said last
night that it was evidence enough OF,
what the people of the city and coun-
ty could do. It is record, he said,
that cannot be gone back on. Com
munity building, said the new secre-
tary, is a matter worthy of the same
spirit, the same kind of effort and
cooperation. Mr.. Chazal said that he
was not yet ready to say what the
work of the board of trade for the
coming months would be, but stated
that survey of the city and county
would be made to find out what the
pInoM mBISoId 4eql puB seLe spssu
then be mapped out and carried out
in some systematic way. The success
of commercial body does not depend
on the secretary alone. said Mr.. Cha
zal, but upon the hard work of all of
its members.
Though he does not take up his
work as secretary until the first of
the month, the new secretary is busy
ing himself already. The board of
trade room will be given a thorough
housekeeping at once, and changes
will be made which will make the
work of the board more effective.
Mr.. John Taylor, chairman of the
finance committee of the organiza-
tion, stated last night that the COM
mittee had met with success and that,
though it had not yet finished it's
work, the financing of the board was
assured. 1t had been agreed, he said,
that nothing should be undertaken
unless the financial backing was suf-
ficient.
The board now has a membership
of upward of 275. according to Mr..
Max Israelson. chairman of the MEM
bership committee. and this commit
tee has not finished its work 1t is
believed that the membership will be
very much larger.
The new secretary is a former
newspaper man. is familiar with the
work of commercial bodies, and is an
enthusiast in community betterment
work.

the commission on the league of ma

mutation of peace, / am very glad to
take this opportunity of reporting
that the conclusions of this commits
sion were the first to be laid before

to discuss every feature of the draft

OCALA WON'T SET
ITS CLOCKS UP
According to Board of Trade ResOlu-
tiOn, and Impending Action of the
Council. Business of the City VIII
Continue on Present Time.

Ocala will not have "daylight-
saving" time. The present hours of
the clock will be observed. This was
decided at the meeting of the board
Of trade last night, when the members
voted unanimously in favor of no
change from the eastern time now in
effect, and voted TO request the coun-
Gil TO take whatever action might be
necessary. The business of the city
will be carried on as it now is, accord
ing to the decision of the board of
trade, and the train schedules only
will operate differently. The trains
will arrive and depart an hour earlier
than eastern time, and will run by
"daylight-saving" time.
Mayor Chace, when seen this morn
ing, gave out the following state
ment:
"In view of the fact that during
the recent war with Germany, and its
allies, the Congress of the United
States enacted what is commonly
known as a 'daylight-saving law to
meet the then existing emergencies
to utilize daylight for the work Of all
laborers in the shipyards and canton
ments, thus to economic In the use
of fuel and electricity. Since the ces-
sation of hostilities between the ma
tions, the law having served its pur-
pose, Congress attempted to repeal it.
The effort was defeated by the fill
buster in the Senate, and the emerg-
ency law is yet in force.
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has by the authority of the daylight
saving law placed all of Middle, East
and South Florida in the eastern zone,
which makes our time half an hour
ahead Of sun or meridian time, and
which change appears to be satisfac-
tory to the public. But the law re-
quires all clocks to be set forward one
hour on next Sunday morning, March
30th, thus making our time one and
a half hours ahead, or faster than
sun or meridian time.
"This change will to some extent be
demoraliEing to the laborers and to
the business interests of the city, the
postofiee will open about sunrise. or
two hours sooner than it did last
spring, and close two hours sooner in
the afternoon, this by reason of being
placed in the eastern zone and having
to set forward the clocks to comply
with the emergency law.
Therefore, in consideration Of
these facts, and in conformity with
the action of the board of trade, en-
dorsing the idea of adhering to the
time now in use in Ocala. and asking
the mayor and city council to fix east
ern time as the official time for the
city, I, as mayor of Ocala, would re-
spectfully advise that we continue to
observe the hours that are now in
force, known as eastern time, the
city clock to strike the hour of twelve
as it has since the first of last Otco-
Der, until the city council can take
official action"
