RETURNS FROM SER-
 VICE WITH MARINES
Newark Man Saw Service in Marines During Entire War
 With Germany

Alvin P. Edlin, who enlisted In the marine corps in July, 1916, for a four year period returned home Tuesday, haV- ing been honorably discharged, and is visiting his father, J. ". Edlin, who lives about mile north of town.
 Edlin is one of Newark 8 young men that saw the war through, being in service at the outbreak and continuing in service until the sixth day of last month.
 The Marine motto is First in Everything" and it seems that in being a member of this organization Edlin was no ex- eeption to this slogan. Having enlisted in July 1916, before diplomatic relations were brok- en with Germany, and not knowing whether or not he would have an opportunity to fight the Huns, the navy de- partment dispatched him with the Santo Domingo Expedition ary forces in November of the same year, where he served until October 16, 1917.
 His next move was into the big world war with the marin es that led the American Ex- peditionary forces and he land ed in France December 8, where he first participated in active operations against the Germans in the Aisne defen- sive May 31 to June 5, 1918. He was with the marines that fought in the Belleau Wood sector of h e c Il u Thierry Drive June 6 to June IF. He participated in the Aisne-Marne offensive from July IT to 19, and on the third day of this drive was gassed, which put him out of the fight ing until November l, ten days before the Armistice was sign- ed, which time he spent with forces in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. After signing of the Armistice, he was with the army of occupation on it's mar ch to the Rhine and served with the troops that occupied Coblenz, Germany.
 After returning to this coun-  try he was awarded a promo tion and made a clerk in the Paymaster's Department of the Marine Corps at Washington, D. C., where he served until the time of his discharge.
 Edlin is probably the only Newark boy who saw active service throughout the entire period of the war, and has had about as wide,a variety of experiences as any man that saw service from here.

| CHICKASAW TO
PLAY SATURDAY
Pensacola Has Two Good Games
Scheduled For Week End.

There will be two good ball games
at Maxent Park this weekend The
Chickasaws OF Mobile will play the
Pensacola club Saturday and Sunday
at the usual hour each day.
Pensacola has been playing bang-up
baseball and the only team which has
succeeded in winning from the locals
is Brewton. Manager Hunt has gathered
an aggregation which includes all the
local stars and the boys are playing
real baseball.
A move is on foot to bring back one
or two of the best players who are
now out of town, but the general
makeup of the local team will be I'M
changed.
Billy Robinson, the local catcher, is
having the best summer of his career,
and Henry Wentworth is much better
than any of the first-sackers who have
been here with visiting teams.
Greene. the Pensacola short-fielder,
is hard-hitting ball player who works
well at almost any place in the infield
Eagan at second is as good as ever
and Ellis at third is playing good ball.
The local pitching staff is little
weak, but the addition of an extra
hurler will fill 1t out in good shape.
King is leaving Pensacola and must be
replaced.
The Pensacola outfield is as good as
the best Both of the Scarritt boys
lar has always been a wonderful cen
ter fielder and his work with the stick
last week gives hope that he may de-
yelop into a hitter. His double and
single in Saturdays game were timely.

INSPECTION OF SHIPYARD
LUMBER HALF COMPLETED

The American Lumber Sales Cor
poration bought from the Divisions a.
Supply and Sales Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation at the close OF the
war the surplus ship timbers and con-
struction lumber lying IN all the
wooden shipyards on the east and
gulf coasts. The purchase. amounted
to ninety million board feet OF lum-
Der.
An idea Of the magnitude OF the
amount can be gotten from the fact
that IL would take a mill cutting 1o0.-
600 feet a day, and running 500 days
a year. three years TO produce this
lumber.
Another glimpse OF the proportions
can be gotten from the records Of the
Southern Pine Association, Of New
Orleans. which was given the contract
for inspection. Sixteen men have
been steadily at work for ten months
inspecting the timbers and lumber
and they are just a little over half
through. as IL IS estimated that IL will
take nine more months to complete
the work.

TEACHER SHORTAGE
THREATENS FLORIDA

Florida is facing an acute shortage
of teachers, according to J. G. Kellum
business manager of the State Col
lege for Women, in reviewing the
work of the summer school, which has
just closed at Tallahassee. over 46C
young women have been enrolled
coming from all parts of the state, and
practically all are preparing to teach
About ninety percent of those taking
the course are already teachers, and
have engagements, so the outlook for
adding to the teacher shortage from
the ranks of those who have attended
summer school is unpromising.

JUSTICE AND PARSON
Shoots Quotations From Scripture at
Litiuants to Solve Cases.


Rev. Levi Hite is the justice Of the
peace in Grand Prairie township, near
Marion, o. He has been In office now
three years and has just had his first
jury case.
Heretofore he has been able to talk
litigants into Observation-Disclosures
the Bible. Rev. Mr.. Hite proudly
boosted that when a person wanted to
"sue on" another person he got them
together, brought out the old Bible and
read Scripture to 'em until they saw
their way out of 'lawing each other"
and effected a satisfactory settlement
The other day, though, the Rev. Hite
was unable to make Peter Manley and
o. Nj. Gay, Grand Prairie township
farmers, "see the light" and they de-
manded a jury trial. Manley claimed
Gay owed him SS6.60 for labor in husk-
ing corn. Gay filed a counter claim
for 5000 against Manley for damages.
The jury found for Manley.

kinds were sunk there, converting II
into marine cemetery. All of them,
like the Lusltania. seem to be beyond
resurrection until or unless invention
can find a way to enable divers to de-
scend to much greater depths than
has heretofore been possible. SO the
admiralty is letting Old Kinsale alone
as beyond practicable range for effec-
tual operations In salvage.
Loss of the Lhsitania deprived the
Cunard Line Of wonderful ship In
respect to capacity and speed, but II
involved the line in no loss of money
for construction outlay or cargo value.
The English government assumed most
of the risk and paid II, and the re-
naming value was covered by insuS-'
ance In various English companies.
The potential loss fell, of course, on
the company. for such ship would
have been most serviceable and
profitable carrier for the remainder of
the war. .
Another serious loss to be reckoned
as final, along with the Lusitania, was
that of the Justicia Of the White Star
Line, $1,000 tons burden, which main

hours with German submarines before

signed under charter to the White Star
fleet. On one of her early trips she
carried 10000 bushels OF grain to Eu.

transport. carrying 5000 men at
time. When attacked, In July, 1918,
she was on a westward course carry

her captain decided he could proceed

tered another submarine. The ship
