swARTz GIVEN A CLEAN SHEET

Under date of October %, informa-
ton was received from the. war de-
partment that the charge of desertion
standing against Charles Ruddick
Swartz, order No. 1475, registrant
of the local board for Alachua county,
Fla, had been set aside.
Draft records show that this reg
istrant was directed to report to the
adjutant general of the state Of Flor
ida for military duty not later than
May 20, 1918, and that because he
failed to so report he was subsequent
ly certified as a deserter. Records Of
those who served during the world
war show that he enrolled i'm the naval
reserve force on January 20, 1918, and
was released from active duty on
january 8. 1919 Therefore the charge
of desertion has been set aside and
his name has been removed from the
published list of alleged draft desert
ers. w. II. Gordon,

CHILDREN's HANDS TOOK HOLD
OF FOCHs HEARsTRINGS

A dispatch from Kansas City, dated
Nov. 2, said:
Marshal Foch stayed here today
rather than disappoint several thou
sand school children who had been
told they might get a chance to see
him. The. marshal had expected to go
to Fort Leavenworth, but on learning
Of the plan to have the school children
lined up along the boulevards, that he
might wave to them and they to him,
he postponed his departure. Lieut..
Gen. Baron Jacques, of Belgium, ac-
.companied him on the boulevard tour.
Both military leaders were waving
continuously to the school children for
several miles.
The marshaPs automobile stopped
at the convent school of the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Sion, where seven
girls, dressed in white and with the
French tri-color in their hair, made a
speech to the marshal, who responded.
When the formal program was con-
Guided the marshal started to enter
his automobile. Then he changed his
mind. He was tired, and he asked the
head of the school whether he might
rest a moment in the parlor of the
school.
Waving aside the Count de Cham
brun, who has been active as official
interpreter, and the immediate staff
the marshal went alone to the convent
parlor. He leaned back in chair and
closed his eyes. But the marshal was
not to take a nap. Several girls tip
toed to the door of the parlor to peek
at him. The marshal of France saw
them, bright eyed and bashful, and
beckoned them in
Soon others, abashed and delighted,
sided in, and stood on one foot and
another beside the marshaPs chair and
smiled at him and answered his ques-
tions as to their names and ages,
They did not need the services of the
Count de Chambrun, for the sisters
had taught them to speak French, tho
some of them spoke lispingly.
When the marshal's twenty minutes
were up he shook hands with the boys
gravely and kissed the little girls, and
there were great tears in his eyes
For today was the anniversary OF
the death of Marshal Foch's son, who
gave his life in the war.
