OBSERVATION IN oCALA
OF ARMIsTICE DAY

Armistice Day was observed in
ocala with simple but impressive ex-
ercises.
By 11:30 a. m, a large attendance
had gathered on the public square,
and was constantly added to until the
beginning of the ceremonies. At l1:45
Bugler Travis Collier sounded the first
call, and few minutes later he blew
the assembly as the members of the
local post of the American Legion,
some sixty in number, marched on the
square and formed in double rank
facing the east door of the courthouse.
Captain Drake called Attention. p
and the men and the lines straighten-
ed with the quiekness of never forgot
ten practice. Few of the members
were in uniform, and they stood, pri-
Yates, non-coms heutenants and cap
tains, side by side, without distinc-
ton, but in the common fraternity
bred by the greatest of eauses-try-
ing to make the world safe for the
people to live in.
Then came the chaplain, Rev. J. ].
Neighbour, and with him the color
guard and the colors, the beautiful
flag of the legion carried by Elwood
Raymond, accompanied by Nelson
Dosh and John Metric.
The color guard took position at
the center of the line, the chaplain to
the left. The members Of the Wom-
ans Auxiliary, clad in the simple
white uniforms of army nurses. arriv-
ed and took position to the right Of
the legion.
The parade was formed The colors
were dipped, and the clear voice Of
the bugle rose in the inspiring, the
soothing, the heart-hOlding notes Of
"Taps."
Then the courthouse Ben struck
twelve and for two minutes the as
semblage stood with bowed heads,
many in silent prayer, in tribute to
the Unknown Soldier, whose remains
then laid before the funeral altar at
Arlington.
The two minutes passed. the flag
was again raised, and then Mr..
Neighbour, in a clear, strong voice,
read the presidents address. This
address was so timed as to be read
in every part Of the United States
during the same minutes, and It is
quite probable that the voice Of the
ocala reader synehronized with that
of the president a thousand miles
away.
@The presidents address ended with
the Lords prayer, reverently heard
/ by all and echoed by many. At its
conclusion, the color guard carried
the flag back to the armory and as it
left the square the assemblage dis
persed.
A noble ceremony, and one that
should be repeated every year.

ocALA oUTCLAssED
Lost Football Game to Gainesville
by 81 to o

DY bl UO
The G. H. S. boys had our lads out
played at all stages of the game
Friday afternoon but Ocala is proud
of the fight her boys put up during
the whole game. Ocala's line was
strong and held we'll Gainesville was
never able to make any appreciablel
gains through the line but ran away
with forward passes, end runs and
fake plays The interference of the
Gainesville team was especially note
worthy. On open field work they cut
down the first three or four 0cala
men who attempted to tackle and al
lowed their man to make much longer
gains than would otherwise have
been possible. In defensive work
Ocala was able to hold her line but
could not stop the many plays around
her ends. In offensive work Ocala
tried to play straight football thru
the line but the Gainesville lads were
too heavy for them and they were un--
able to make many gains. Ocala
tried only one lateral pass which fail
ed and no forward passes and no sue
cessful end runs were made by 0cala.
On punting Gainesville had decided
advantage both in the kicking and in
the open field running when the ball
was recovered and brought back.
Three of her touchdowns were made
on a received punt when Ocala was
trying to get out from under ner
goal. Vickery. Brannum and Ludwig
were the stars on Gainesville's team.
Leak was the outstanding star for the
Ocala team with Rawls, Fielding, j.
Troxler and Hank Hall as close sec
onds. In picking the special lights it
is well to mention that the line and
backfield did good hard work and all
played good game in spite of the
defeat heaped upon them.
The lineup:

arms conference, were presented to-
day by Secretary Hughes at the very
opening of the first session. Briefly,
it follows:
That all capital ship building prs
grams, either actual or projected,
should be abandoned. That further
reduction should be made through
scrapping of certain older ships. That
in general regard SHOULD be had TO
the existing naval strengths of the
powers concerned. That the capital
ship tonnage should be used as meas
urements of strength for nayies and
the proportionate allowance of auxil-
iary craft be preserved.
AMERICA WILL LEAD
To carry out the program the Unit
ed States would scrap all capital
ships under construction, fifteen in
number, and fifteen older battleships.
Great Britain would stop construction
on her four new ships of that type
ard scrap all her second and first line

two battleships and four battle cruis-
ers not yet laid down and in addition
would scrap three capital ships and
four battle cruisers in process of con-
struction and all ten of her pre-
dreadnaughts and battleships of the
second line.
MODERATE REPLACEMENT

proposes that no more ships be laid
down for the next ten years and that
the maximum replacement tonnage
figure be fixed providing eventually
for half million tons for the United
States, half a million tons for Great
Britain and 100000 tons for Japan.

ers would destroy sixty-six capital

LIFT THE LOAD

"Out of the cataclysm of the world
war came new fellowships, new con-
victions, new aspirations. 1t is ours
to make the most of them. A world
staggering with debts needs its bur-
den lifted. Humanity, which has
been shocked by wanton- destruction,
would minimize the agencies of that
destruction. Contemplating the meas
ureless cost of war and the continu-
ing burden of armament, all thought
full peoples wish for real limitation
of armament and would like war out
lawed In soberest reflection the
worlds hundreds of millions who pay
in peace and die in war, wish their
statesmen to turn the expenditures
for destruction into means of con-
struction, aimed at higher state for
those who live and follow after.
at is not alone that the world can
not readjust itself and cast aside the
excess burdens without relief from
the leaders of men. War has grown
progressively cruel and more destruc-
tive from the first recorded conflict
to this present day, and the reverse
order would more become our boasted
civilization.
Gentlemen of the conference, the
United States welcomes you with un-
selfish hands. We harbor no fears, we
have no sordid ends to serve; we sus-
pect no enemy; we contemplate or
apprehend no conquests. Content with
what we have, we seek nothing which
is anothers. We only wish to do with
you that finer, nobler thing, which no
nation can do alone.
"We< wish to sit with you at the
table of international understanding
and good will In good conscience we
are eager to meet you frankly, and
invite and offer cooperation. The
world demands a sober contemplation
of the existing order and the realiza-
tion that there can be no cure with
out sacrifice, not by one of US, but by
all of US.
81 do not mean surrendered rights
or narrowed freedom, or denied aspi-
rations, or ignored national necessi-
ties. Our republic would no more ask
for these than it would give. No
pride need be humbled, no nationality
submerged, but / would have a merg-
ence of minds, committing all of US
to less preparation for war and more
enjoyment of fortunate peace.
"The higher hopes come of the
spirit of our coming together. 1t is
but just to recognize varying needs
and peculiar positions. Nothing can
be accomplished in this regard of ma
tional apprehensions. Rather, we
should act together to remove the
causes of apprehensions. This is not
to be done in intrigue. Greater as
surance is found in the exchanges of
simple honesty and directness among
men resolved to accomplish as be-
comes leaders among nations when
civilization itself has come to it's
crucial tests.

EXCESSIVE COST

IL
''It is not to be challenged that gov
ernment fails when the excess of its
cost robs the people of the way to
happiness and the opportunity to
achieve. If the finer sentiments were
not urging, the cold, hard facts of ex-
cessive cost and the eloquence of
economics would urge US to reduce our
armaments, If the concept of better
order does not appeal, then let US
ponder the burden and the blight of
continued competition.
'It is not to be denied that the world
has swung along throughout the ages
without needing this call from the
kindlier hearts of men. But the same
world never before was so tragically
brought to realization of the utter
futility of passions sway, when rea-
son and conscience and fellowship
point a nobler way.
WANT NO MORE WAR
81 can speak officially only for our
United States. Our hundred millions
frankly want less of armament and
none of war. Wholly free from guile,
sure in our own minds that we harbor
no unworthy design we accredit the
world with the same good intent. So
I welcome you, not alone in good will
and high purpose, but with high
faith.
