Have They Died in Vain?


live by themselves alone. This war
was the CHASTITY proof that the old
order of international relations was
a complete failure. If it had not been
a failure, 100000 soldiers would
not be lying in their graves today,
with at least 100000 non-combat--
ant dead who lost their lives as a
direct result of the conflict. Nor
would the world have destroyed $780,
000,000,O00 of its accumulated capital
in a desperate effort to win back by
force the peace that it could not
maintain by diplomacy.
If we are not to have new order
Of international relations until we
can get one that suits everybody at
the outset, we shall never hove one.
What the republican senator under
Mr. Lodge are resisting is the only
kind Of new order on which the
responsible representatives of the
great governments have been able
to agree, and in resisting that they
are resisting every practical method
by which the repetition of this ter
rible calamity can be prevented.
They may pretend they are not, but
they are, and they are confronted
with the same kind of moral ques-
tion as that which confronted the
German junkers in July, 1914
Paying tribute to the soldier dead
is an idle ceremony if the children
of these. dead are to be consigned to
similar fate through the refusal
of government to meet its RESPONSE
bilities to those who must die when
government fail in its supreme test.
A perverted nationalism, having its
capital in Washington, deny to the
world its only hope of an enduring
peace? If it can, then today's tri-
butes to the American dead are in
vain and empty CEREMONY World

BE KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK

Considerable space and kindly in
terest was shown Humane week,
April 21-27, by the newspapers OF
Florida, and may be glad to ten its
readers the following quotation from
Our Dumb Animals: 4; '.
WHO originated it? A man in
South Carolina. He got the BE kind
to animals" germ in his system.
There was no cure for him. He did
not want to be cured He wanted to
infect every man he met with the
same germ He isolated it and put
it in his letters and used the United
States mail to spread it broadcast.
At last we said: There is no use
trying to conceal it any longer. We
are under the power of this epidem-
ic.' An so Our Dumb Animals began
to spread abroad the idea and our
societies had thousands of BE Kind
to Animals placards and signs print
ed and distributed throughout the
land Soon every humane society be-
gan to talk about it. Then the press
began to take notice. Now there is
not az state from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in which thousands of people
do not try to celebrate the event by
some kind and gracious deed done to
beast or bird-fellow children with
themselves of the infinite source of
life"
After reading carefully the above
lines are we not glad that Florida
good people had some share and will
we not decide to do it better and on
larger scope, beftting such an i'm
mense state, if God spares our lives
till next Spring?

beautiful home.
The Munroe & Chambliss National

Mrs. Wallis will soon repair the
damage done to the store building

The Chero-Cola works have just
changed ownership and have fallen
into the hands of progressive young
men from a progressive city and
new life will be infused into it AMI
it will add two or three new families
to our population.
A number of small residences have
been sold to new people; quite a
number of farms have been sold; ex-
traordinary prices are being obtained
for all truck so far marketed; the
banks show the largest deposits since
beginning business, and the indica-

u. S. BACHELOR ARMY
Is GOING OVERSEAS

Uncle Sans bachelor army of $4,000
being organized and embarked for ov-
erseas will soon be completed, accord
ing to the local recruiting officials,
Col w. j. Bauttghenbach and Lieut..
j. e. Townes.
The men are to be used for replac-
ing those men who have dependents
in this country. The term of enlist
nent for these new soldiers is three
years with the exception of those
who have served before the entrance
of this country into the war who can
onlist for only one year.
Several division Of men will be
necessary in Eupr eoafter the peace
terms have been signed" stated the
junior recruiting officer yesterday,
land among those men, who have ser
we'd from six to eighteen months are
men who have people here who are
dependent on their support. 1t is
these men who are to be given a
chance to return home and their
places taken by the new soldiers.
Personally l don't think it will be
long before another call is issued for
a like number of additional recruits.
This office has recruiting stations in
Miami, Tallahassee. and tOrland0,s and
within a short time we expect to open
another office in Ocala."
"One of the features of this new
force" concluded Lieut.. Col. Townes,
"is the educational program outlined
for them. Every man enlisting has
the opportunity to learn any trade
he desires. The government has
learned that to attract the young men
of the country to the enlistments an
educational side of the life must be
given to work in conjunction with
the military. ."-Times-U Union

In his Memorial Day message tC
the American people, President Will
son says:
We have buried the gallant and
now immortal men who died in this
great war of liberation with a new
sense of conservation. Our thoughts
and purposes now are cOnsecrated to
the maintenance of the liberty Of the
world and of the union Of its peoples
in a single comradeship of liberty and
of right.
To the presidents irreconcilable
critics in the senate and out of the
senate this sentiment will be constru-
ed as further proof Of Mr.. Wilson's
hopeless "idealism" and his deter
mination to impose new "interna-
tionalism" upon the American peo
pie. Yet if the thoughts and pur'
pose of the United States are not
consecrated to this liberty of the
world and this union of it's peoples,
they are consecrated to nothing that
is worth one-tenth part of the blood
and treasure that have been poured
out to crush autocracy.
Most of the critics of the league OF
nations seem to have no understand.
ing what has happened in the world
since Aug. 1, 1914 They know that
Germany and Austria Hungary have
been beaten; that their governments
haye been revolutionized. that Rus.
sia is in chaos, and that the victory
cost great deal Of money and a
great many lives; but beyond that
they see nothing. They do not ap-
preciate the significance of a con
fiict that has bankrupted Europe
that has disorganized the whole econ.
omic structure of civilization, and
brought civilization to the parting OF
the ways.
Nations, no more than indiyiduals

ANOTHER One CROSSES THE BAR
And JOINS THE CHOIR INVISIBLE

There was lamentable vacancy
made in the "thin gray line" wheI
the spirit of DR.. A. ]. Wilson passed
from earth to join the Choir invis
ible' in the kingdom Of God.
He was prince among his fellows
He was gifted with talents of high
order; he was possessed with the
rare charm of conversation and
though bearing the weight of many
winters, he continued to walk with an
elastic step and an erect carriage un
til death claimed him.
Dr. Wilson was born at Danville
va, Sept Is, 1882 he died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. E. l.. Car
ney, at Ocala, Florida, May %, 1919.

attended the University of Virginia
and in 1856 graduated with the de-
gree of A. M, taking second honors
of the class. He then entered the
Jefferson College of Philadelphia and
graduated with the class of 1859, and
won the highest honors Of that col
lege
Soon after starting upon the prac-
tice of his chosen profession the war
between the states was precipitated
and he was one of the first to volun-
teer, enlisting as a private but was
soon made regimental surgeon with
the rank of major
He served with heroic devotion
during the continuance of the war,
giving not only his own time but rem
dered great financial aid to the cause
he loved SO well
As like begets like" may be the
reason that DR. Wilson made such a
pronounced record as a soldier for
he came of revolutionary stock. Both
Of his grandfathers were commission
ed off GERS on the staff Of General
DeKalb. a
After the cessation of hostilities
he located in Kentucky where he liv-
ed and pratciced his profession for
many years.
1t was there he married Miss Caro-.
line Pendieton Williams, a most ac.
complished woman, whose parents
were from Danville, Va. Their mar

and devoted. Both were members of
the First Baptist church of Trenton,

lives = 81 syF
