to the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. R. L. Clyburn in Summerfield,
after a three months visit in Atlanta
and Augusta, Ga.
Mrs. Adkins is a bride of only two
months and is very pleasantly remem-
bered by her many friends as Miss
Nellie Clyburn, one of old Marion
ccUnty's most attractive and accom-
plished young ladies, and who before
her marriage was one of the county's
most attractive and accomplished
young ladies. and who before her mar
riage was one of the county's most ef-
ficient and best loved teachers. She
has taught as principal of her home
school in Summerfield since she first
began teaching several years ago. and
IT, was not without many regrets on
the part of the people at Summerfeld
and the county as well that she must
leave them in that capacity. She will
be greatly missed socially as she was
always very active in all things of in
terest to the community in which she
lived.
Mrs. Adkins is a true and typical
Marion county girl, having been born
an dreared in Summerfield, and we
tcel proud to claim her as such. She
is we'll known in Ocala, where she is
q member of the Ocala Chapter Of the
Eastern Star.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adkins spent their
honeymoon visiting points of interest
in South Florida and in the tourist
| cities on the East Coast, after which
Mrs. Adkins accompanied her husband
as far as Atlanta, en- route to his
home in Butte, Mont. where he is
successful business man, also ranch
er and extensive wheat grower, and
| Re was for several years member of
| the Montana legislature.
Mr.. Adkins spends his winters in
| Florida and this winter succeeded in
winning for wife one of the sunny
south's fairest daughters, and we
must congratulate him upon winning
the heart and hand of one of our very
best and sweetest girls, and Mrs. Ad-
kins has throughout the state host
OF friends who wish for her all the
happiness possible in her marriage.
Mrs. Adkins will join her husband
in her new home the first of June, but
will return with her husband to Flor
ida when the cold winds begin to blow
in the war northwest.

COULDN'T HAVE
DONE MUCH
Fearful Risk Which Congress and the
Navy Department Allowed Our
Sailor Boys to Run
(AssOciatcd Press)

Washington, March 30-American
submarines and many second line bat
t:eships were not in condition for war
service in April, 1917. Rear Admiral
a. W. Grant, then commanding the
submarine force, yesterday told the
Senate committee investigating the
navy departments conduct of the
war. The submarines were too small,
Of too short cruising radius, mounted
small guns and contained poorly de-
signed engines, the officer testified,
while the battleships required COM
plete overhauling to fit them for ser
vice.
Admiral Grant commanded the sub
marine force for two years prior to
the war and later commanded battle
ship force one of the Atlantic fleet
with the rank of vice admiral. He
testified that beginning in 1915 he had
urged construction of 800-ton sub
mersibles but received no support in
the department, most of the opposi-
tion coming from the general board.
Later, he said, the 8OO-ton boats
were authorized and built.
The department was SLOW TO con-
sent to overhauls for the battleships
Of his force although he had been in
structed that the ships were to be
kept in condition for battle, Admiral
Grant said, as none of them had COM
pletely watertight bulkheads at that
time.
"If the German feet had broken
through the British fleet in the sum-
mer of 1917 would your force have
been in condition to meet the. en-
emy?' asked Chairman Hale.
eve would have gone out and done
the best we could, but it wouldn't have
been much," was the officers reply.
In reply to a question from Senator
Trammell, democrat, Florida. the wit
ness said that the ships of his force
did go to sea and perform practically
the same duty during the war as the
newer vessels.

WHEN CRoY RAN.

Homer Croy, the Missouri humor-
list. got back the other day from.
France, where he was in charge of
moving picture activities for the army
during the recent disturbance there.
He is now arranging to go to- China
for the second time, to make NOV
ing picture of the Chinese WALL He
tired to make one just before Ameri-
ca entered the war, but the film was
not success.
Croy was connected with a big
movie producing company in New
York City. One day he was summon
ed by the president, who instructed
Croy to catch the five o'clock train
for Shangai, and get a picture of the
Ancient Wall, before any other film
company thought of it. Croy packed
suitcase, caught the train, made
quick connections with boat out of
Seattle, and got to- Shangai ahead o.
the rush.
He picked up likely looking Chi
nese boy for an interpreter, then
pushed inland. Twenty-Five miles
along the trail they came to new
province, and stopped at a farm
house.
"What does that man say, All Sing ?
Croy asked the interpreter.
ooh, him dam foo, said All Sing.
Next day they reached another
province, and stopped to talk with
another farmer.
"What does that man say, All
Sing?" asked Croy.
ooh, him dam foo, " said All Sing.
Finally they came to the Chinese
Wall, and set up the moving picture
camera. The Chinese are supersti-
tious about cameras, believing evil
spirits dwell within them. Before
Croy could get his machine focused,
crowd of natives approached on the
run, throwing sticks and stones.
"What do those melN say, All Sing.?''
Croy called.
"Oh, them dam foo, =" said All
Sing.
The mob demolished the camera.
Croy didn't hang around.
"Back in Missouri" Croy explained,
II held the long-distance champion
ship. But Pm ashamed to say that
broke all my previous records that
day in China.
And when got back to the hotel in
Shangai, found All, Sing sitting or
