The fair young representatives of France had the greatest ovation until those of America came upon the scene. .Led by a trio, Miss Blair Woodrow as Columbia, marching be- tween Sibbald Wilson as Uncle Sam and LaGrange Sistrunk as represen- tative of the American navy, their welcome was deafening. f Little Cuba should have been rep- resented, 4 Portugal, Brazil, and even tardy Greece, and Serbia, Montenegro and Roumania should have had places, but it was impossible to arrange for them all; but, as the Red Cross ladies say, "We will have them' all next ' time." . At 5:30 o'clock eighteen adorable little misses marched in twos from the north end of the square and stood directly in front of the bandstand. They were led by little Miss Mary Fleming Rawl who was dressed as a boy in a gorgeous green kimona and carrying the Japanese flag. The tiny maids wore beautiful ' Japanese ki- mona s and each couple carried a Jap- anese parasol. Their hair was in the Japanese style with appropriate dec- orations, and some of them had curv- ed eyelashes which were the envy of those who "forgot." After, they reached the bandstand they formed a line and stood there while the chorus sang Kimiagayo, the national hymn. They remained standing , until the pageant was over. The Japs were Misses Mary Fleming Rawl, Anita Chazal, Nellie Wallis, Elizabeth Mur- ray, Fanita Cobb, Mary Roess, Sara Scott, Ivia Waterman, Mary Eleanor Anderson, Babette Peyser, Lucretia Hocker, Marguerite Sexton, Helen Newsom, Mary Troxler, Virginia Car-micha- el, Violet Jones, India Smith and Margaret Herndon. These little Japs were deservedly cheered as were all the Allies in their turn. Russia followed in the pageant, led by Miss Adele Bittinger, Mrs. Greider Perkins and Mrs. Allie Van Davis carrying the Russian banner. The cos- tumes were peasant, and consisted of dark colored skirts, white waists and three-corner- ed colored shawls over their heads tied under their chins. They stood in a line while the hymn of Free Russia was sung and then took their places opposite the Japs. Those representing Russia were Misses Adele Bittinger, Mamie Tay-lo- i, Louise Booe, Ernestine Brooks, Ellen Stripling, Carrie Brown, Mrs. Harry Walters, Mrs., Harvey Clark, Mrs. B. H. Seymour, Mrs. Allie Van Davis and Mrs. G. S. Perkins. Italy came third, led by Miss Louse Spencer, who marched with Miss Isa-bel- le Davis. They marched in twos and needed no banner for their cos- tumes loudly heralded "Italy." They wore gaily colored skirts and bodices of the same material over white blouses, and bright head dresses. They all. wore huge ear-rin- gs and quantities of bjead necklaces.

Notable activity is developing in Belgium. The Germans apprehend the trend there and extraordinary ef- forts of her airmen to ascertain what is going on behind the lines is reflect- ed in official statemnts. Teuton air- men are having little success. London reports nine Germans put out of ac- tion to one Britisher lost. The Prus- sian minister of war believes the British blow will come north of Arras, according to a statement made to the Reichstag committee yesterday. In this connection is noted a British ad- vance slightly on a six hundred yard front in local action southwest of Hollebeke. General Petain is bending every ef- fort to keep the advantage in posi- tions the French , now hold. The la- test effort of the Germans to gain control of a sector in the Aisne re- gion, not only gained nothing, and brought heavy losses, but the French in counter attacks took the salient near Cerny. - American troops who participated in the Fourth of July celebration have proceeded to permanent training camps. The entire expedition is ex- pected to be in camp by July 15th. SAXONS NOT STUCK ON THEIR SOVEREIGN Copenhagen, July 5.

The Ocala Red Cross certainly de- vised a most patriotic and appropriate way of celebrating the 4th in v the pageant which it gave on the public square Wednesday., This fourth has set an epoch in the history of America and of the world. It is the first in the era set by Amer- ica abandoning her traditional isola- tion, which would now be selfish, and joining the democratic nations of the world in trying to secure the common right of all men to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Could a moving picture of Wed- nesday's ceremony be shown in any community in any one . of the strug- gling nations which are our allies, it' would have heartened them to see how tlys typical American town chose from among its fairest girls and prettiest little ones to most ap- propriately express its sympathy for them and its own devotion to the com- mon cause. The square was thronged late Wed- nesday afternoon. Not only was Ocala out in force, but hundreds of country people came in to attend the exercises. At 5 o'clock, the members of the band and the chorus were in the bandstand, and people were gathered around by the hundreds on the 'sidewalks and lawn, while the beautiful new flag of the Ocala high school on its tall staff floated over all. The parade formed down on South Magnolia street and came marching around the sidewalks of the court- house square. . It was made up of pretty girls, was the prettiest parade ever seen in Ocala, and was as pretty as could be seen anywhere. First came a bunch of dainty little maidens representing Japan, the Sun- rise Kingdom, which America tempt- ed from its seclusion of a thousand years and ushered into" the light of modern civilization Nippon, the na- tion which has proclaimed the Mon- roe doctrine of the Mongolian race. Next came a squad of fair girls, wearing the garb of Russia mighty Russia, that labored so slowly thru the years toward the dawn only to step more quickly than any other na- tion into daylight. Then the pretty representatives of Italy, where" democracy was crucified and recrucified thru the centuries, op- pressed from abroad and betrayed at home, but rising at last triumphant as truth in spite of tyranny, supersti- tion and poverty into one of the noblest of nations, and one now worthily filling its place, in the far- - flung line that fights - for the rights of humanity. The fair young ladies that repre- sented Great Britain marched in three squads first, for canny Scot- land, which despite its thrifty dispo- sition has created by bravery and de- votion more romance than even stor- ied Greece; then Ireland, whose heart has ever ran away with her head; then sturdy England, within whose bcunds the very cornerstone of con- stitutional government has been laid. Next came the girls who represent- ed Belgium, the little hero, who pre- ferred destruction to submission the tiny stone that ground to powder it- self yet broke the cog in the Prussian war machine that has made it limp ever since; Belgium the orphan that the Allies are bound to cherish till they can place her in her home again. And then France, America's first ally, dnd now her dearest friend, the bravest and most self-sacrifici- ng of nations, ever ready to draw the sword for what she thought was right and without any idea of reward.

The fair young representatives ofFrance had the greatest ovation untilthose of America came upon thescene. .Led by a trio, Miss BlairWoodrow as Columbia, marching be-

Little Cuba should have been rep-resented,

4 Portugal, Brazil, and eventardy Greece, and Serbia, Montenegroand Roumania should have had places,but it was impossible to arrange forthem all; but, as the Red Cross ladiessay, "We will have them' all next

'time." .

At 5:30 o'clock eighteen adorablelittle misses marched in twos fromthe north end of the square and stooddirectly in front of the bandstand.They were led by little Miss MaryFleming Rawl who was dressed as aboy in a gorgeous green kimona andcarrying the Japanese flag. The tinymaids wore beautiful ' Japanese ki-

mona s and each couple carried a Jap-anese parasol. Their hair was in theJapanese style with appropriate dec-orations, and some of them had curv-ed eyelashes which were the envy ofthose who "forgot." After, theyreached the bandstand they formed aline and stood there while the chorussang Kimiagayo, the national hymn.They remained standing , until thepageant was over.

Russia followed in the pageant, ledby Miss Adele Bittinger, Mrs. GreiderPerkins and Mrs. Allie Van Daviscarrying the Russian banner.

TROOPS EXPECTED

-- With Russia proving her army canagain strike telling blows the Ententeforces are apparently preparing toresume the offensive on the Westernfront. Notable activity is developingin Belgium. The Germans apprehendthe trend there and extraordinary ef-

forts of her airmen to ascertain whatis going on behind the lines is reflect-ed in official statemnts. Teuton air-men are having little success. Londonreports nine Germans put out of ac-

tion to one Britisher lost. The Prus-sian minister of war believes theBritish blow will come north of Arras,according to a statement made to theReichstag committee yesterday. Inthis connection is noted a British ad-

vance slightly on a six hundred yardfront in local action southwest ofHollebeke.

General Petain is bending every ef-

fort to keep the advantage in posi-

tions the French , now hold. The la-

test effort of the Germans to gaincontrol of a sector in the Aisne re-

gion, not only gained nothing, andbrought heavy losses, but the Frenchin counter attacks took the salientnear Cerny. -

American troops who participatedin the Fourth of July celebration haveproceeded to permanent trainingcamps. The entire expedition is ex-

pected to be in camp by July 15th.

PATRIOTIC PAGEANT

Celebration this Fourth of July thePrettiest Ocala Has

Ever-Seen- !

The Ocala Red Cross certainly de-

vised a most patriotic and appropriateway of celebrating the 4th in v thepageant which it gave on the publicsquare Wednesday.,

This fourth has set an epoch in thehistory of America and of the world.It is the first in the era set by Amer-ica abandoning her traditional isola-tion, which would now be selfish, andjoining the democratic nations of theworld in trying to secure the commonright of all men to "life, liberty andpursuit of happiness."

Could a moving picture of Wed-nesday's ceremony be shown in anycommunity in any one . of the strug-gling nations which are our allies, it'would have heartened them to seehow tlys typical American townchose from among its fairest girlsand prettiest little ones to most ap-

propriately express its sympathy forthem and its own devotion to the com-mon cause.

The square was thronged late Wed-

nesday afternoon. Not only wasOcala out in force, but hundreds ofcountry people came in to attend theexercises. At 5 o'clock, the membersof the band and the chorus were inthe bandstand, and people weregathered around by the hundreds onthe 'sidewalks and lawn, while thebeautiful new flag of the Ocala highschool on its tall staff floated over all.

The parade formed down on SouthMagnolia street and came marchingaround the sidewalks of the court-house square. . It was made up ofpretty girls, was the prettiest paradeever seen in Ocala, and was as prettyas could be seen anywhere.

First came a bunch of dainty littlemaidens representing Japan, the Sun-

rise Kingdom, which America tempt-ed from its seclusion of a thousandyears and ushered into" the light ofmodern civilization Nippon, the na-

tion which has proclaimed the Mon-

roe doctrine of the Mongolian race.Next came a squad of fair girls,

wearing the garb of Russia mightyRussia, that labored so slowly thruthe years toward the dawn only tostep more quickly than any other na-

tion into daylight.Then the pretty representatives of

Italy, where" democracy was crucifiedand recrucified thru the centuries, op-

pressed from abroad and betrayed athome, but rising at last triumphantas truth in spite of tyranny, supersti-tion and poverty into one of thenoblest of nations, and one nowworthily filling its place, in the far- -flung line that fights - for the rightsof humanity.

The fair young ladies that repre-sented Great Britain marched inthree squads first, for canny Scot-land, which despite its thrifty dispo-sition has created by bravery and de-

votion more romance than even stor-

ied Greece; then Ireland, whose hearthas ever ran away with her head;then sturdy England, within whosebcunds the very cornerstone of con-

stitutional government has been laid.Next came the girls who represent-

ed Belgium, the little hero, who pre-

ferred destruction to submission thetiny stone that ground to powder it-

self yet broke the cog in the Prussianwar machine that has made it limpever since; Belgium the orphan thatthe Allies are bound to cherish tillthey can place her in her home again.

And then France, America's firstally, dnd now her dearest friend, thebravest and most self-sacrifici- ng ofnations, ever ready to draw the swordfor what she thought was right andwithout any idea of reward. America
