WARRANT OFFICERS
GRADE SUCCESSFUL

Warrant officers from various army
posts in the United States assembled
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca. on August
IL, II and 18th. for the first annual
convention of the Warrant Officers
Association, United States Army.
The grade of warrant officer is a
comparatively new thing in the army
and men who hold that rank are
former non-commissioned officers with
more than ten years service in the
regular army, who served as commits
stoned officers during the world war.
They rank next below second lieuten-
ants. wear the uniform of commits
stoned officer without the Sam Browne
belt, and perform such duties as they
are best fitted for by reason of their
former training and experience IN the
army.
The national council Of the associa-
ton is located in Atlanta, and most OF
thethe national officers are on duty
at the Gambler warehouse in that city
or at Fort Mcpherson.
Col. Symmonds. chief of staff of the
Fourth Corps Area. gave short talk
and welcomed the delegates to For'
Mcpherson. Messages wishing ths
association every success were read
from General Pershing, General Har'
ris, adjutant general of the army, and
from other general officers who arr
chiefs of the various branches of the
army.
These messages also brought out
the fact that, while the grade oi
warrant officer in the army is of com
paratively recetn origin, results have
already proven that its establishment
is a success.

oCALA AND LEEsBURG

Leesburg's first nine journeyed to
ocala on Thursday of last week and
come out on the wrong end of to
score. Epperson pitched splendid
game for Leesburg but he was handi-
capped by poor support. The Ocala
outfit was held to six badly scattered
blows and nine batsmen were added
to "Lefty's" without list. Rube FL
rod was on the mound for the Ocalans
and succeeded in battling the local
sluggers when hits meant runs.
Outside the pitching of Epperson,
the fielding Of Buckles was said to be
the most sensational part of the To-
Gals defensive system. Fans who wit
messed the game declare that the big
receiver was the life of the whole
team, and that he caused the Ocala
catcher to turn green with envy when
he went back after difficult pop-up.
The locals met Ocala again yesterday
with the hopes of closing the series
by making it to 1 in Leesburg's
favor.-Leesburg Commercial.
They have another hope a-coming.

facedvthe crucial period in negotia-

peace in Ireland. The action of the
British government yesterday in max
ing public letters exchanged between
Premier Lloyd George and de Valera,
showed the people that virtual dead
lock existed and although the door
is declared to have been left open for
further parleys It was apparent the
situation is one of considerable grav-
ity.
Great Britain offered Ireland COM
plete autonomy in finance and taxa
tion, military forces for home de-
tense, her own police and, among
other things, control of the Irish
postal services.
In his reply to Mr.. Lloyd George,
Mr.. DeValera argued for independ-
ence and offered to submit the Ulster
questions for arbitration.
+ In his final letter Mr.. Lloyd George
denied Ireland's right to secession,
refused foreign arbitration, for Irish
questions and expressed the hope that
Ireland would accept the British
terms, which he declared the best that
could be offered.

its formal opening Sunday.
In the first place. the building is of
brick and concrete and looks neat and
classy from the outside. Il stands at
the western end of the station, and is
ninety-five feet long by thirty wide
Entering the east end. the traveller
finds basin and faucet at his right, to
get the dust off his face and hands,
and to his left very neat little dining
room, the table of which will seat
eight, and which is called the "bridal
dining room, because it is adapted TO
the use of honeymoon party. 1t can
be engaged by party in advance,
and is also available when the bigger
dining room overflows. The main
room is about sixty feet long, and
equipped along the north side with
handicapped tables, accommodating
six each. On the other side is long
lunch counter. at which anything
from cup of coffee to a good sized
dinner can be obtained. At the west
end of the room are big refrigerators
from which lunch boxes can be filed
in a hurry. also big icebox, generally
holding in addition to the ice scores
of bottles Of cold soda. The ice wa
ter supply is right by it. The water
doesn't touch the ice but it is forced
through coils in the icebox. coming out
at the faucet chilly cold.
The kitchen is a pleasant place to
visit 1t isn't the hot, oderiferous,
greasy place big kitchen, and some
smaller, usually is. Big electric fans
keep the people in it from melting,
even on the hottest days. There is q
big range, with canopy and flue
above it, to carry off the odors of
cooking. There is also a big gas
stove, for lunches and short orders at
brief notice. There is a store room at
the end of the kitchen, and on the
side by the tracks is a room contain
/ ing lunch counter for colored peo-
pie.
Everything about the place is neat
and clean. They don't depend much
on mops and brooms, but turn on the
hose and send young food over the
floor, sweeping everything before it.
The restaurant is open twenty-four
hours a day. The food is excellent,
well-cooked and served at a most
reasonable price.
Mr.. Davidson has an excellent corps
of assistants. Several of them have
been with him for years. and all are
skilled and anxious to please. Not
only does the restaurant have all the
railroad patronage but large num-
Der of the town and country people
go there. especially for Sunday din
ners, and several board there regular

The opening Of this new and we'll
appointed restaurant must be consid-
cred as among the important improve
ments of Ocala.
