FLORIDA BOY IN FRANCE
Mrs. Martha Williams of this city
has received the following letter from
her grandson, Gabriel Lee Jr., who is
with the A.XE. F. in France:
Paris, July 22.
Dear Grandmother: I wonder how
much you will be surprised to hear
from me from this quarter of the
world? I have often wanted to write
you a long letter all about the things
I have seen and the wonderful exper experiences
iences experiences that have been mine since com coming
ing coming here early in January, but some something
thing something seemed always to prevent it.
Now I will take advantage of a long
wanted opportunity.
After, spending over six months at
Chaumont, France, the American
general headquarters was moved to
Paris. Arrived here on the 11th of
this month. Headquarters is estab established
lished established at Paris until the work is fin finished
ished finished and then we will go home. I
don't think it will be long now. The
work of the judge advocate general's
office for the A. E. F. is nearly com completed

me home. There are not many sol soldiers
diers soldiers left in France or Germany now,
and there are twenty transports wait waiting
ing waiting at Brest to take them home as
fast as they can be sent to the base
por.
The most important event here
since my arrival was the French cele celebration
bration celebration of the victory of the allied
armies, on July 14th. It was the' most
rr-agnificent parade I have even seen,
or indeed ever hope to see. I wish
you could have seen the boulevards
of Paris during the "Grand Defile."
Over six million people thronged the
Champs Elysees, Avenue des Italiens
and the Grandes Boulevards to see the
historical pageant; and I don't think, I
have ever seen more human souls con congregated
gregated congregated in one place at once time,
than I saw at the Place de la Concorde
during the march of triumph. It was
a glorious night; it certainly did jus justice
tice justice to the bigness of the occasion,
and it made impressions on me that
I shall never forget. I am sending
you a picture of the crowds in the
"Place." I was ttere on the left of
the picture for a ; while see if you
can find me. All of the great gen generals
erals generals and marshals rode in the parade,
and it was a picture to see how well
General Pershing sat his saddle. If
you have an opportunity to see mov moving
ing moving pictures of the Parisian celebra celebrationdon't
tiondon't celebrationdon't miss it. I know you will
enjoy it. I have seen it also, here in
Paris and it is quite wonderful; al almost
most almost as much so as the real parade.
Every kind of soldier and sailor of the
allied armies was represented in the
victorious march. The most pictur picturesque
esque picturesque of all were the Arabs (Alge (Algerians)
rians) (Algerians) in their long flowing robes of
white, and corded turbans. They are
wonderful horsemen, and rode their
steeds just like the warriors they
really are. They were the best mount mounted
ed mounted troops.
A battalion of picked American
troops led the procession. They made
a splendid showing, much better than
that made by any of the other foot
soldiers. That, of course, was only
natural, and to be expected. Even
the French applauded loudest when
the doughboys marched past. This is
the best proof of the showing they
made and the regard in which they
are held in this foreign land.. It took
three hours to watch the entire "de "defile"
file" "defile" march by and when it was final finally
ly finally .ended I had seen enough for one
day, I am sure. It was a curious
sight to see people using periscopes
to see over the heads of their taller
comrades. Those instruments seemed
to be quite useful and worked fine.
Even on the tops of the large hotels
and apartment houses, great tempo temporary
rary temporary grandstands were constructed to
accommodate the crowds, eager to
spend hundreds of francs for a seat
and a good view. Some seats in win
dow balconies along the line of .march
brought as high as four thousand
francs. Just think of it. You see the
people are willing to pay for peace
and patriotism. For the money was
mostly used for patriotic institutions.

take industrial training for their

OUR CONTEMPORARY
HELPS US OUT
We could not print any paper these
days if it wasn't for our contempo contemporary,
rary, contemporary, the Banner. It gave us the use
of its linotype and operator Saturday,
and is now printing our editions on its
press. So it is truly sharing in our
troubles and effectually helping us to
combat them.
MUCH APPRECIATED
GOOD WISHES
In several places in Ocala last night
met little groups of men, who quietly
and dispassionately discussed the la labor
bor labor situation, both local and national,
the troubles of the last few days,
where one branch of organized labor
is trying to tie up the entire country,
and the paid representatives of sev
eral groups having coolly proposed to
take charge of America's transporta
tion system and tax the people to pay
for it. having brought to a climax
their discontent with a system where
by a small minority not only plans to
control the government but -change it
to suit their own convenience. These
men were not politicians but everyday
citizens, such as make up two-thirds
of the voting population of "the coun country.
try. country. And they all voiced their dis disgust
gust disgust with the government which
makes one concession after another
to a favored class, which is rapidly
becoming as tyrannical in methods as
the Prussian autocracy, and they all
expressed a wish that the government
would show some spunk, and fight, the
mobocracy instead of 'giving away to
its successive demands. Ocala is much
like other American towns, so the
chances are that very much the same
kind of sentiment was being expressed
all over the United States.
Judging by what we have been
hearing among the peoplenot the
well-to-do business men only, but the
rank and file they are entirely dis disgusted
gusted disgusted with the exactions of organiz organized
ed organized labor and the cowardice shown to
ward it by the men in office. It's our
opinion that the people of America
are ready for a showdown, and a fight
if necessary, and if union labor wants
an universal strike, let it strike, so
the rest of the country can strike
back, and the decision go to the side
that can strike the hardest.
These unions are mostly made up
of men who stayed out of the war and
worked for big wages, while the boys
from the families of unorganized la labor
bor labor made up the great majority of
those who did the working, the fight fighting
ing fighting and the suffering in France. What
right, has any man, no matter how
hard he worked, if he could work in
comfort and safety, to put himself on
a level with those who toiled in cold
and hunger and constant danger of
death. And what man of them did
more than his duty anyhow.
Our representatives in Congress
may take note' of the fact that the
people of this county at least are tired
of this tyranny and want it ended.
Let the -unions strike; the whole lot,
all over the country, let them stop all
the trains, and cut off all the pay payrolls,
rolls, payrolls, and let us see who will become
sick of it first. They bawl about the
high prices, when they themselves are
doing more than the packers to force
up prices. A devil of a lot do they
care how long a man outside their
trades shall work, or for how much,
so long as they can have minimum
time and maximum wage.

At an informal meeting of the

Earman, retiring chairman of both
boards, who resigned last month to
accept the presidency, of the state
board of health, was the recipient of
a handsome solid silver loving cup

The execution Friday of the negro,
James Rice, was the first the writer
has witnessed in thirty years. We can
look on such things without agitation
when we have to, but we prefer not
to, so always gave someone else the
assignment when it was possible. The
last execution we saw before this was
in DeLand in 1889. It took place in
an enclosure, and no one saw it except
the officials, two physicians, two
newspaper men and about a dozen
citizens. And that was enough.
Friday's execution in this city was
seen by at least 3000 people, a num

And like a nan Blake Arnold faced
judge a &d Jury, nor defiant, nor re resentful,
sentful, resentful, nor grandiloquent, but with
contrition, shame and submission In

former employers to pay off a gam gambling
bling gambling debt.
Tlve years in the stats penitentiary
at hard labor," was the sentence, and
the prisoner simply bowed his head
and did not lift it as he was led away.
Then It was to sweep the courtroom
with one swift, probing glance. His
f Ace fell. If he hoped to find a
friendly or familiar face there he was
downed to disappointment.
Wild, reekless spendthrift that he,
was, he had reached the end of his
ntpo. JL year previous, urged on by
his riotous acts, his father, a man of
wealth, had turned him out of his
home and disowned him. Six months
later the parents of his fiancee, sor sorrowful,
rowful, sorrowful, but loyal Lettlo Tivlan, had
told him that she had been sent away
to distant friends where he could not
find her and that all was ever between
them.
More, latterly Lettie had accepted
the decision of father and betrothed.
He had plunged into new recklessness.
They were doubtless aware of his
predicament, but no one had extend extended
ed extended a helping hand. As a common
criminal, Blake Arnold was shut out
from the world as a branded man, and
stolidly, doggedly accepted the dull,
irksome routine of prison life.
And all the time poor, pining Let
tie passed her days in vain longing
for a sight of the only man she had
ever loved and her nights were tear
ful ones. She could net forget, and
she told her parents so. Practically
exiled with an aged aunt, she faith
fully kept her promise not to write to
Blake, and when his final downfall
was announced in the public prints
her aunt found her staring at the
dread intelligence in a dazed, stony
way as if a final blow had prostrated
her.
My poor, suffering dovel" sobbed
the gentie-epirlted woman. "Do net
become utterly heartbroken."
"No,M answered Lettie quietlyf 1

vaguely.

leve for me can never die. It will
purify and save him. We shall meet
again sometime, somewhere."
Two years had passed by when the
United States entered the war. Let-
tie found some relief from her an anguish
guish anguish by contributing her services to
Bed Cross home work. It was late in
the year when her scat, opening a
morning newspaper, stared, paled.
and hastening furtively into another
room, thrust the newspaper into a
blazing grate. She had read in the
Journal of the escape from prison of
Blake Arnold, am honor convict, whose
good conduct entitled him to a remis
sion of his sentence and whose ease
had been favorably regarded by the
pardon board.
So Lettie mourned on and dreamed
on, all unaware that the man she could
not forget was free. Her aunt fretted
and feared for many weeks, dreading
the possible appearance of Blake in
guest of Lettie. He did not come, nor
did any letter, and the months rolled
on.
It was late in the year when the
boys came marching heme. There was
a fragmentary contingent of a regi
ment which had displayed the highest
valor in one of the most desperate bat
tles of the war. The son of the gov
ernor of the state was in the group,
and the idol of the seglment was a
soldier, Berton Arleigh, who had saved
the life of the young man and had led
a forlorn hope that had turned the
tide ef the conflict. Berton Arleigh
had been terribly wounded and was
on the convalescent list when what
was left of the valorous regiment
reached the home, town.
The people of the capital could not
do enough to honor these men, and the
son of the governor had invited Ber Berton
ton Berton Arleigh to become his guest. One
day and night the young man remained
in the palatial home of the officials
The next morning he sought a private
interview with the governor.
"I think it beet to quietly leave you
without the knowledge of your son,'
he said, and thten to the amazement of
his auditor he 'disclosed his true iden
tlty. He was Blake Arnold, and the
intense patriotism of his nature, the
keen willingness to redeem the past
by giving his Hlfe for his country. If
necessary, had influenced him to sur
reptitiously letfye the prison.
"You are more than a hero!" de declared
