WILL RENEW FIGHT
on PEACE MOTION
Congress Considers Formal Ending OF
War. 70 reSubmit Treaty!

Congress Considers Formal Ending of
War. 70 rcSubmit Treaty.
Washington. April 4.-Thc fight in
congress over formal termination Of
the war will be renewed this week.
With the failure OF the senate to
ratify the peace treaty, the house will
vote on resolution put forward by
Republicans, declaring the war ended.
There were indications today, however,
that this might result in further de-
velopmcnts in connection with the
! treaty, possibly its reSubmission to
the senate by the president as the ad-
ministration's counter move.
The peace resolution is to be brought
before the house Thursday with a rule
calling for vote Friday. Republicans
believe its adoption is assured, while
Democrats declare it certainly will be
vetoed by President Wilson without
prospect Of obtaining a two-thirds voto
to override the Veto
In many well informed quarters the
impression is growing that either be-
fore or more probably along with
veto message the president might re-
turn the treaty to the senate with af-
firmative expressions regarding re-
servations. Indeed it would not sur
prise administration spokesman in
touch with the situation should the
president return the treaty within a
few days.
Although Democrats plan vigorous
fight on the resolution they virtually
;arc without hope OF preventing it's
adoption in both houses. This was in
dicated by Senator Hitchcock of Ne
ibraska, administration leader, who re-
turned today from a vacation in the
South. Senator Hitchcock also differ
cd from views expressed by Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts, Republican
leader, regarding the length of the
senate contest over the house resolu-
ton.
81 believe there will be prolonged
discussion" said Senator Hitchcock.
There are many new and most i'm
portant issues presented in the pro-
posal"
Senator Hitchcock decline to con-
firm or discuss reports that the presi-
dent was considering return of the
treaty to the senate shortly but ind-
Gated that he had been in correspond
ence with the president during his alb
sencc from Washington.

GREEN APPOINTED
MONTGOMERY'S GUARDIAN

After strenuous time with the
Ocala authorities, Dr. Montgomery
left yesterday for his home in Mica
nopy, accompanied by his wife, who
says he will soon go to Atlanta for
treatment.
Docs had rough time with Ocala
this trip. First he fell afoul of Mar
shal Thomas, who escorted him to the
bastile for making of himself the
carriage of a quick shooting. self
cooking cannon. He paid the city for
this the sum of S25; and Immediately
after was gathered in by the sheriff,
who hailed him before Judge Smith.
He had trial on this, which resulted
in his contributing $50 to the county
fine and forfeiture fund.- Pretty soon,
he was found with moonshine in his
possession, in consequence of which
he had to spend about twenty-fcur
hours in the city Jail. He was there
during the big storm Thursday, and
declared he never wanted a boat so
badly before. He pied guilty to pos
sessing the moonshine, and was turn
ed over to the guardianship of County
Attorney Lou Green. Lou specifies
that Doc is not to come to Ocala
without his consent. and to behave
himself while here, or up he goes,
probably to Raiford.
WED surely hate to have Lou
Green for a guardian-he'd make us
get up at o'clock Sunday morning
and go to church, Sunday school and
prayer-meeting, and sound taps on us
at 10 o'clock every night.
DR.. Montgomery is problem to his
family and his friends. He seems
to be a mixture of good and bad (like
all the rest of us), but the average
man has his goodness and badness
ground up so fine and mixed so well
that it seldom causes comment Docs
badness generally comes in Jumps.
Most of the time he is as clever and
friendly as any man can be. He is a
splendid physician and has often been
known to give the most devoted and
skillful service. He is kind of heart
he will do anything in his power to
relieve suffering of human or beast.
He is well educated and has a high
appreciation of art. particularly mus
ic. About 95 per cent of his time he
is good friend and pleasant com,
panion. Then the imp of the perverse
gets hold of him and makes trouble
One of his failings is when he comes
to Ocala is to bring along big gun.
Nobody in Ocala wants to hurt him,
so the gun is entirely superfuous.
And as a general thing we don't be-
lieve he wants to hurt anybody. But
other people don't know that, and we
are afraid that the time will come
when he will flourish his artillery at
the wrong man. and kill or be killed.

SUMNER SCHOOL
PROVING A SUCCESS

The experiment of summer school
in the central part of the state for
colored teachers has proven its wis
dom in its practical results. Prof. ].
H. Brnson, state supervisor of color
ed schools, knowing from his inti-
mate acquaintance wit hexisting con-
ditions that for various reasons there
were many teachers who would not
attend the summer school at Talla-
hassee, brought it about that such
teachers should not be left wholly
without a semblance of a chance to
improve themselves and thereby bet
ter conditions in their schools and
communities.
Although there was neither time
fer advertisement nor preparation,
between forty and fifty student
teachers, representing the seven
counties of Marion. Sumter. Citrus,
st. Johns, Alachua, Putnam and Lake
for eight weeks of the months of
June and July attended the normal,
centrally located at Ocala.

teachers at the work accomplished

thanks to Prof. j. H. Brinson and
others who made it possible to put
through such venture.
The teachers are as one in feeling
that the work has been conscientious
and well worth while, and hope an
other year to hear a more general
cry of "On to Ocala."

CoUNTERFEITING
IN A NEW FIELD
Illicit Liquor Bottles Being Sealed
by EngeniOus Ones With
Spurious Stamps -.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Aug. IA new coun-
terfeiting industry" has followed in
the wake of prohibition.
':This industry" says Chief Moran
of the treasury Secret Service, ''is
the counterfeiting of the strip label
revenue stamp that goes over the
corks, or that used to go over the
corps, of whisky bottled in bond.
Those engaged in the manufacture of
whisky are prepared to use those
counterfeit stamps and we have ar
rested three gangs already for doing
it."
At present the main problems of
the Secret Service, however, are to
check note-raising. which Chief
Moran says has increased to an
alarming extent" in the last year
and the forgery of government checks,
which he says ''has become almost an
epidemic"
Records of the Secret Service show,
according to Mr.. Moran, more arrests
and Investigations during the last
year than fo rany similar preceding
period
