by side with the Allies. So complete
was the coalition Of strength and pur-
pose that General Foch was given SUI
preme command, and every soldier In
the allied cause, no matter what flag
he followed, recognized him as his
chief. We fought the war together,
and now before the thing Is through 1t
Is proposed to enter into separate
peace with Germany In good faith
we pledged our strength with our asso-
ciates for the enforcement of terms
upon offending powers, and now 1t is
suggested that this be withdrawn. Sup
pose Germany recognizing the first
break in the Allies, proposes some
thing we cannot accept Does Senator
Harding intend to send an army to
Germany to press her to our terms
Certainly the allied army could not be
expected to render aid. If, on the
other hand Germany should accept the
chance we offered of breaking the bond
1t would be for the express purpose

ance, recognizing that the Allies-in
fact, no nation in good standing
would have anything to do with either
Of us.
This plan would not only be a, piece
Of bungling diplomacy, but plain, un-
adulterated dishonesty, as well.
"No less an authority than Senator
Lodge said, before the heat of recent
controversy that to make peace ex-
cept In company with the Allies would
brand us everlastingly with dlshonor
and bring ruin to u.s.
"And then after peace Is made with
Germany, Senator Harding would, he
says, hopefully approach the nations
Of Europe and Of the earth, proposing
that understanding which makes us a
willing participant in the conservation
Of nations to new relationship.
"In short, America, refusing to enter
the League Of Nations (now already
established by Twenty-Five nations)
and bearing and deserving the con-
tempt Of the world, would submit an
entirely new project. This act would
either be regarded as arrant madness
or attempted international bossism.
"These are fateful times Organized
government has definite duty all over
the world. The house of civilization
is to be put In order. The supreme is
sue of the century Is before us and the
nation that hats and delays is playing
with fire. The finest impulses Of hui
manity, rising above national lines,
merely seek to make another horrible
war impossible. Under the old order
of international anarchy war came
overnight, and the world was on fire
before we knew It, 1t Slckens our
senses to think Of another

peace as it will be promoted by the

riage last Monday to Miss Agnes
Kingsley Harrison of. Fern Bank,
near Atlanta.
The marriage was quiet home af-
fair. The brides brother, Rev. G. H.
Harrison, for several years pastor of
the Episcopal church of Ocala, per-
formed the ceremony.
Mr. Weathers is one of Ocala's
most popular and capable young men,
a favorite in this city where he was
born and raised He graduated from
the Ocala high school and then at
tended Amherst College, Mass, where

ment. During the war he was in the

New York city, where he is meeting

BARN BURNED

Our good friend, Mr.. ]. F. Parker,
living near Cotton Plant. has been
subjected to considerable loss by fire,
his barn and large quantity of corn
and feed, being burned the other
night. Mr.. Parker thinks the fire
was caused by someone dropping a
match in or near the barn and the
match being picked up and dragged
thru the hay by rat until the fric-
ton caused it to ignite. Mr.. Parker's
loss was considerable, and would have
been greater if his neighbors had not
rallied to his support, saving much
valuable property that was near the
barn. Mr.. Parker asks the Star to
thank for him those who were his
friends indeed and in need.
