the clangor of bells were heard fol.

cles.
It has been planned to have two
big barbecues for the returned sol
diers as they had previously been
welcomed with parades, bonfires and
speeches. To these barbecues, one
for the white and the other for the
colored soldiers, their friends and
their friends friends were invited.
Preparations were made to feed
seven thousand and the foodstuffs
were ample.
The dinners were served army style
which gave immense satisfaction.
The meats were on the spits all
night and the whole atmosphere TaE
laden with the savory aromas.
The young soldiers were detailed

ARMIST|CE DAY CELE-
BRAT|ON IN OCALA.
Unique and Unusual Was Greatly Enjoy
ed--Five Thousand or More at the
Fair Grounds

for the colored people at the Hunter
baseball park. 1t is estimated that
fully five thousand attended the for.
mer and perhaps as many as one
thousand the latter.
After the dinner was served, and
we are pleased to note that every
one had an abundance, music was
furnished those at the fair grounds
by the Gainesville University band
and the afternoon was given over to
community sing" in which several
thousand voices joined.
AS a prayer was offered by the To-
cal Baptist pastor for the boys left
over there" a big service flag was
unfurled, displaying $50 stars. The
weather was fine and the day passed
off auspiciously.
The festivities at the ball grounds
were closed with a spirited national
game.
From daylight until nightfall the
joy of the people found expression
in various modes, perhaps the most
enjoyable of which to the soldier
boys was a dance at the Woman's
club.
1t must have been the biggest
crowd ever seen in Ocala as every
street and alley was packed with
automobiles.
1t was great day and will set
the pace for future Armistice cele
brations.

FRATERNITY COUNCIL

Delta Psi Charges of Discrimt
nation at L. of p. Declared
Wholly Untrue

Declaring that the charges of the
Delta Psi Fraternity OF discrimination
and favoritism On the part Of the Inter
fraternity Council at the University
have been proved unfounded. The council
today published, in the Pennsylvania
a copy of a resolution just adopted by
them.
About a month ago. the Delta Psi
Fraternity, which is one of the oldest
and most Influential on the campus.
withdrew from the council, alleging that
body had used it's influence unlawfully
In placing only fraternity men in class
Offices. This step brought vigorous
reply from E. NJ. Pollard and George
Rudisill, officers of the council who
declared that there was no truth in the
charges.
Delta Psi then answered with another
note, reaffirming it's former declara-
tions, and the council demanded that
the fraternity prove its charges.
According to the resolution published
today 1t has not done so. The resolu-
ton reads as follows:
I'm their letter of February -. the
Fraternity of Delta Psi made certain
charges against the 1nter-fraternity
Council. These charges have been de-
Iltu DI lHe COuItll anu d utlHduu was
made that they be either proved or re-
tracted. Delta Psi has been given the
opportunity TO either prove these asser-
tions or retract them. They have done
neither.
Among gentlement it is understood
that when a man is challenged on point
he will either prove his case or will with
draw the statement.
"Since they have done neither. We can
only assume that the charges made by
the fraternity of Delta Psi are abso-
lutely false and have no foundation in
fact.
"The council again desires to state
that 1t has never been and never will be
a party to any act of discrimination
against nonfraternity men,"
