DELIGHTED TO SEE
MAN REPORTED DEAD

Members of Marion County Post
No. 27 of the American Legion, were
overjoyed and surprised last night to
see one of their "roll of the dead"
walk into the meeting room. Altho'
Halloween was day past the boys
thought maybe one of the ghosts had
been delayed a day and had just ar
rived for his Halloween celebration.
Some of the braver spirits of the post
mustered up courage enough to shake
hands with the "dead man" and found
that Comrade A. Z. Thompson was
not only alive but in splendid health.
Mr.. Thompson's name would have
beh engraved upon the bronze tablets
tc be placed at the entrance of Tus-
cawilla Park but for the delay in Sc
curing data for these memorials. The
name of A. E. Thompson was one of
the first to be reported to the COM
mittee as one of the boys to make the
supreme sacrifice His appearance in
Ocala a few days ago was quite a
surprise to those who supposed him
long dead. Mr.. Thompson said he
was reported dead in st. Louis be-
cause the doctors told him he had
only a short time TO live and he ran
away from the hospital and was never
located again. Instead of kicking the
bucket he has fooled the doctors and
has been working hard ever since.
Mr.. Thompson was member of Com
pany A, Second Florida Regiment, and
is remembered by host of friends in
this vicinity.

DO O'bOYS PLAN FOR
ARM|ST|CE DAY
4 Social Reunion at the Armory Will
Be the Principal Feature Of The
Great Anniversary

Marion County Post No. 27 of the
American Legion has decided to have
reunion of all Marion county ex-
service men in Ocala as a celebration
of Armistice Day. Because of the
fact that the day comes ON Saturday
this year and so few of the boys
will be able to leave their work on
that day of the week, the reunion will
be held on Friday, Nov. 10th. All ex-
service men are invited to come t..
Ocala on the 10th and renew old ac-
quaintances. No plans have been
made for an elaborate celebration but
a few good speeches and musical
numbers will be staged at the post
headquarters Friday night. The chief
object of the reunion is to give the
boys an opportunity to get together
and talk over old times, renew former
friendships, meet their buddies and
tell how they won the war. Where
were you on Armistice Day 1918?
How did you spend that day? Come
to the armory on the night of the
10th and bring back those days. Don't
look for big feed. Get your supper
before you come. This is going to be
a social gathering and not a chow
line. There may be something to
drink so that you can wet your whis-
tie when you talk it dry, but the
stick" in the punch won't make you

SHANTUNG AGREEMENT IS REACHED
Man Swept OFF
Yacht And Back
Again By Wave
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre1


NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 80
George Woodbury., former assistant
secretary OF the navy was swept over
the railing ,of his yacht Half Moon"
40 miles off Cape Charles Friday
night, but was returned by a wave to
the ship, it was stated tonight when
the yacht, formerly the "Germania," !"
private yacht of former Emperor Will
liam Of Germany, was towed into Old
Point Comfort in a damaged condi-
tion by the Standard Oil tanker Ja-
pan Arrow.
Several members Of the crew were
also swept over the rail, it was added,
but all but one were rescued. The
Japan Arrow came UP few minutes
later and got a tow aboard.
Mr.. Woodbury., a member OF the
New York Yacht club, stated upon
arrival at Old Point dock that his
vessel ran into a hurricane about 10
am, Friday. The main sail, COM
pass. jib boom, dingy and a life
boat were swept away. An enor-
nous wave struck the little craft
some hours later carrying Mr.. Wood
bury and the crew overheard. By
clinging to the railing the side lashes
and rudder, every one Of the crew
with the exception of John Stolvig,
quartermaster, finally managed to
crawl aboard. After that experience
the crew, some members badly
bruised and all hungry and half fro
zen, managed to cling to articles on
deck until about 1870 this morning
when picked UP by the Japan Arrow.
The vassel was taken in tow.
