CREATING tMTEBEST Drygoods Stores Have Attractive and Timely Displays. Baby week is now in its third day and the people are he-ginning to realize that something out of the ordinary is happening in Mishawaka. Several of the stores have taken innnite pains to attractively decorate their windows and these are attracting moie than ordinary interest inasmuch a local citizens are compelled to stay at home on account of the car strike, and consequently have time to do their window shopping early and often. The four principal dry goods and notion houses have gone to considerable trouble in making their displays effective, and these were viewed by hundreds during Tuesday afternoon and night. HaslanffcrV.

AS RECRUITS LEAVE iGreatest Patriotic Demon-! . ! stration Ever Witnessed in Mishawaka.. All of the 2C army recruits leaving Mishawaka yesterday successfully passed the tinal examination uhlrh thev n rwl er. n t r.ffpr ;i rri v i n T ..... v .. - . v. J v. . . ... v . .. . .. ...... at Ft. Wayne, according to a telegram received late ill the afternoon by Postmaster Herzog from Capt. Ryan, in charge of the Ft. Wayne recruiting office. Judging by yesterday's demonstra tion in honor of the departing lads Mishawaka is awakening to the fact that America is at war. The scenes at the postolfice building, from which point the procession to the New York Central railroad station started, all along the line of march, I and more especially at the depot while waiting for the train, which was due at 12:5", but was 10 minutes late, were impressive and in- ! Fpiring. Anyone who stood in the vast throng of humanity that surged about the station, some silently weeping, while others quietly looked on. relatives and friends of the hoys crow'ding to say good-bye to them, could not have doubted the seriousness of the occasion. It is safe in saying that Mishawaka had never experienced the like of the scene within the city's history. Two huge flags, loaned for the occasion from the work rooms of the Woolen Co., in addition to (he large one from the postolfice carried at the head of the recruits' section by Rex Bai)ow, one of the latter, were carried by several employes of the above named company in the parade and after arriving at the station both emblems were held in the form of a canopy as the 26 recruits boarded the train, the band meanwhile playing the national air. Male citizens of Mishawaka, passengers aboard the train and trainmen, all property saluted by uncovering during this concluding scene. While the crowd was assembling in front of the postottice building Frank Breckon. the sexton of the Methodist Memorial church, played a number of quaint and patriotic airs on the chimes, which lent solemnity to the occasion. The young soldiers were lined up at the east side of the street by Corp. Ronshlre, the local recruiting orhcer, and faced the federal building, from the steps of which they were addressed by Postmaster Herzop. who presided; llev. Dean L. A. Moench. rector of St. Joseph's Catholic church; Rev. G. W. Titus, pastor of the First Christian church, and Mayor Gaylor. Postmaster Herzog made a few brief statements to the boys In which he extended congratulations for the spirit they displayed in enlisting and emphasized the importance of their duty that they were about to enter upon. As the only federal official present, Mr. Herzog stated that he took great pleasure in complimenting each and every one of the boys on belinlf of the government for the step they had taken toward upholding the honor and respect of the nation in this time of national peril. Mr. Herzog introduced Fr. Moench whose speech was brief but Impressive. The speaker enjoined the youths to heed the wisdom of the apostle. St. Beter, which, in the modern language is: "Fear God, honor 3'our president and serve your country." Continuing, he said. "!t is fit and proper to be able to die for one's country. Rife at its best is short and uncertain, and for one to give it up ir. defense of his country is noble and exalting. My heart bleeds for the parents of you hoys, as they are ones who are making the sacrifice, but it is a djvine Providence thai gives them the opportunity to make that sacrifice. God bless you all and return you safely." The Rev. Titus, who was the next to speak, spoke as follows: "I deem it a very special honor to address you young men upon this occasion, and I assure you there are no words quite sufficient to express my fullest meaning. I desire to congratulate you for your ready response ta the call of your country. It is much more patriotic to say to your president: 'Here I am, send me' than to wait until the finger of conscription is pointed at you. Therefore, it is fitting that we should honor you Jn this wise today, for you are truly our patriotic sons. I need not inform you that you have entered upon 'holy ground.' Almost a century and a half ago our sons fought against tv rann and oppression. They answered the call and there was born 'the land of the free ami the home of the trave.' We enroll you alongside of the heroes of '76. Again the call came in IS 12. and once more our noble sons responded. You stand with them, as also with the dead and living heroes of '1 and You ha e a right to be enrolled with them as heroes of our country We send you forth today as our noble sons to tight if need be on the bloody field of battle, not only for your own good land, but for a world's principle, freedom and democracy. Go forth and God's earn est blessing be upon you. We hope you will return, and when you do !t will gladden our hearts to place the laurel wreath upon your brow as our true 50ns. God speed and direct you." Mayor Gaylor closed the program of addresses with a brief talk that

was full of inspiration and wisdom. He spoke of the record that the Mate of Indiana had made in past wars in recruiting and fichting and what had been done to date in the state in

the present war. showing that Indi ana's re ord for enlistments stood first in proportion to population and third in number?. MANY BELGIAN RECRUITS READY A squad of or more Belgian army recruits will leave Mishawaka Sunday for Fort Wayne. Julius Bennett is in charge of the work of interesting the Belgian residents of ' t he W est end of the city, and stated last night that he would hae at l'ast 15 lined up by tomorrow night.

CAR WINDOWS .SMASHED: STRIKEBREAKER IS HURT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of G. A. Reams of the Michigan Av. lumber yards, stated Wednesday that he had gone into Beams' place alter a man from there had thrown a rock through the window of his car. According to MHler. the man, whom he says he can identify, hurled a stone through the front window of the car which barely missed striking him. Miller, according to his story, then got off his car and went in to warn the man not to throw again. A few minutes later he was arrested by two officers when he reached the down town district. Practically every car is covered with marks, of violence of various: kinds. Broken windows and decayed vegetable marks tan be seen on the cars. The "11. C. L." appears to have no effect, as even eggs are being used as missiles. Every car is being operated according to the street car company officials. The schedule is being adhered to as well as possible, although the trouble along the various lines has tied tp service at different times during the day. Enter Not Guilty Picas. Seemingly indignant at having been arretted and arraigned, Holey Anderson and John Thompson, strikebreakers. entered haughty pleas of net guilty to the charges cf failure to o?ey the state laws regarding the operation of street cars on city streets in city court Wednesday morning. Bonds of $ru each, which had, been demanded by the police, were retained by the court, which set a hearing in the cases for next Tuesday. Eight similar cases will be up on next Saturday and the three men brought in later on Wednesday will be arraigned oefore the court on Thursday. W. J.

Reeves, secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes. stopped in South Bend for an hour Wednesday morning and conferred wth Organizer T. F. Shine and officials of the newlyorganized union regarding the conduct and progress of the strike. Reeves expressed satisfaction at the manner in which local officials were conducting the strike, and commended their loyalty In refusing to resort to violence in an effort to win their fight. The regular meeting of the local was held Wednesday morning at Central Labor union hall when reports of committees were heard. Jt was announced that $20 had been secured to aid in the fight through the "contribution flag" which was carried by young ladies in the protest parade Tuesday night. Infractions ol rules and ungentlemanly conduct on the part of strikebreakers continue to be reported about the city. One woman claims that on a north side car Tuesday afternoon a case of beer was carried on the front platform and that the conductor was under the influence of liquor so badly that the motorman had to operate the car and take care of the passengers. Railroad torpedoes were placed on the tracks near the Grand Trunk crossing and to the casual, passerby it appeared as if someone had taken a shot at the strikebreakers. Several car windows here marks of having been "egged". Union BcpicM-nied. Representatives of 11 unions marched in Tuesday night's parade. The metal polishers, the brewery workers, the l. artender, tbe garment workers. th arpenters. the plumbers and .-team fittei-v. the pressmen, the bricklayers, plasterers, electrical workers and painters were represented in the line of march. Pres't Claude E. Barnes of the local union. introduced Organizer Thomas F. Shine of Boston. Mass., as the speaker cf the evening, who would present the carmen's side of the argument. "In response to an invitation to

participate in the parade, and demonstration." Mr. Shine opened, "I am here to present to you the carmen's side of thi controversy. The company officials were invited t present their side, but declined the invitation. "After repeated letters f;om your men. W. D. Mahon. international president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes, dispatched me here to rm-et them. I came here a week ago last Saturday. I met your men and 1 saw under what conditions they were working. But I knew what V.appened in 130:";. Then an effort at organization a' made by W. D. Mahon. who is now our international president, but the effort was unsuccessful. The strike failed and many of the men lot their jobs. Call. Wow Than s!aor. "Knowing this when I came here 1 consequently discouraged the men at the outset in their desire to organize. But they were determined and they did organize, for the sole

purpose of bettering their condition.-; 1 found their conditions to be woisel than those of the lowest twentieth century slaves." Shine then read Gen. Mgr. Hardy's reply to the men's request for better wages and working conditions, and emphasized the point noted by Mr. Hardy in the company's tontract. "Now," the speaker said, "that alleged contract is not legally binding1. it. is absurd and the company knows it. If it were legal don't you think the company would have the men and myself hailed into court for breach of contract, by this time? "If you think signing up for - cents an hour is signing a contract if there is any one among you who believes that signing up for I'm cents an hour forms a contract, then, though you look white to me. you must be black in the face. "Where in South Bend is there a man. where is there a woman in the city that works for 20 cents an hour and is forced to sign such a poisonous contract? , "I saw your wonderful patriotic parade a week ago last Saturday and I was most favorably impressed by it bur I noticed that the street car men were not in line. Even- other citizen in South Bend had an opportunity to lie patriotic except the carmen. A Citiciis, light. "Our fight these days is not our light alone. it is a citizens' fight. This Is a fight of citizens here on Mr. Hardy, who is running your politics at the present time. "About the contract Mr. Hardy insists was broken we say there is no contract. But we want to make an honorable contract. In the demands the carmen have asked for an arbitration board to settle difficulties that may arise, and to do away with the public service commission ide i. We ask that an arbitration board consisting of one representatlcfrom the carmen, one from the company and one agreed upon by th. two so chosen, shall settle the dilb culty. The decision the hoard hand." down wjll he binding on parties concerned, isn't that fair? "Mr. Hardy generously says he will waive the "0 day riebt in bis alleged contract and have the difficulty placed before the public ser.ice commission, the decision of the

board being then binding for thretl;' carmen will g t linam ial hack-

years;. We will never refer our claims to a public service commission to sleep on. We want recognition now. "Oflleials of the street car company promised 'gentlemanly' employes would be on the cars. If you call strikebreakers, forgers, violat tors of city ordinances, 'gentleman
