WAR CAfiAP COMMUNITY RECREATION 8

U N Di IV s? 7

Uncle Sam is doing everything in his power to protect his fighting men. It is his duty and his obligation to do so. But this protection does not go beyond certain bounds. Congress has made no appropriation for wholesome recreation con ditions in the communities near the camps. Where Congress has stopped, the War. Camp Community Recreation Fund begins a fund endorsed by President Wilson and administered under the direction of the War Department and Navy Department Commissions on Training Camp Activities. In the vast mechanism of War, the individual must not be forgotten the human side of it the duty we owe to that part of every soldier which DOESN'T fight. Contributions to this cause mean protection in its biggest sense- moral

Disloyalty Here is the Answer to Many Questions Asked at Indianapolis. News-Times Special Sorrke: INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 19. The question "What constitutes disloyalty?" and "What can we do with the fellow who is disloyal?" are bein? asked many times daily of the Indiana htate council of defense. Measures for the further definition of disloyalty and adequate punlshinpnts therefore are now pending in congress and are expected by the state council to be enacted into lav vt ry shortly. Active spying of course, when discovered, is punishable under the United States military code with death. In addition, the state council of defense js authorized to present the following- interpretations from an authoritative source: 'T.y an act of congress of Feb. II, 1317, it is declared that: Sectional of the espionage act provid?s a penalty of $10,000 line with imprisonment of not more than two years for obtaining information such as sketches, notes or photographs f.f anything connected with the national defense and intended for injury of the United States. Section J of the espionage act provided a $10,000 fine and imprisonment up to 20 years for: (a) Wilfully making or conveying false loports with intent to interfere with the military or naval operations of the United States. (M Wilfully causing or attempting to cause insubordination, dlslovalty, mutiny or refusal of duty in the military or naval forces of the United States. (c Wilfully obstructing tho reruiting or enlistment service of the United Spates. Ows aro IVinlinir. '"With respect to paragraph A there are few or no judicially determined cases, but there are many pending. For example, a warrant has been issued under this clause in the case of a man who said. "The president is a traitor." The authorities b. liove this to constitute a false report or statement, wilfully made with the intent to interfere with the operations or success of the military or naval forces, or to promote the success of our enemies. "With iespct to paragraph T, there has been one conviction in the case of a mar. who said at a public meeting: 'This h a rich man's war. A poor man ha no business in it. A man who is drafted doesn't have to go into the army anil he's a fool if he does.' "This man was indicted on two counts, tho first that his statement was a wilful attempt to cause insubordination and second a wilful attempt to cause refusal of duty; on both of which he was convicted. The fact that his utterances were made in the presence of men subject to the draft was considered important. "With respect to paragraph C it is aimed at all thoso who wilfully obstruct tho recruiting or enlistment service to the injury of the service or of the United States. "Treason, as defined by tho constitution of the United Sta-es "shall censist only in levying war arrains? them (the United States)" or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." "An overt act. In addition to the

mere intent and utterance is necessary to complete the crime of treason. It is because this restricted def- ' inition of treason did not reach wilful utterances of a treasonable nature, that the nw criminal lepislai tion above referred to was made necessary.

RESTAURANT SAVES S25 A WEEK BY CARE WITH SUGAR

News-Times Special Service: INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19. "We are saving $25 a week by serving sugar instead of setting it out where every fellow can help himself," said the proprietor of an up-town lunch room in Indianapolis, today. "We have benefited by the sugar shortage and the old practice of free sugar will never be resumed in this restaurant." Similar reports are coming to the ottice of Dr. Harry K. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, from all over the state. The willingness of the public generally, to cooperate in this saving of sugar has been one of the most gratifying features of all the reports. TO ORGANIZE CLUB FOR "WAR WIVES" News-Times Special Service: INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19. Women who have a particularly close association with the war because of near relatives being; in service, will constitute a War Wives' club, which will be organized for state-wide activity, under the direction of Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, head of the women's section of the Indiana state council of defense. Mrs. Carlisle has been asked by the women's committee of the council of national defense to make this club a part of her organization and she will do so at once. Include ICntlrt State. It is expected every community in the state, even the most remote will be included in this new organization for the reason that every quarter of tho state contains ' many women who feel this close personal touch with the fighting I force. In reference to the plan. I Mrs. Carlisle states that she believes such local organizations will serve to crystalize the spirit of sacrifice among the women at home th same as the war has served to develop among the men now in active service. A natural lond of sympathy and interest will, it is hoped, make the War Wives' club an in strumentality for the greatest cooperation in matters pertaining to the home defense protrram. In France these organizations have served a double purpose, of service and mutual comfort, and it is believed by Mrs. Carlisle the opportunity for an equally effective organization is here in Indiana. CHICAGO MAYOR TO RUN FOR SENATE NOMINATION International News Service: CHICAGO, Jan. Mayor Will iam Halo Thompson of Chicaco today made formal announcement of his candidacy for the republican ! nomination for the United States ; senate. The announcement was made in a l.uter to Congressman Medill McCormick. who is also a candidate. Mayor Thompson assured McCormick lie would "loyally accept" the decision of tho republican voter and, if defeated, would support Mccormick. In return Mayor Thompson asked for the support of the McCormick forces if he succeeds in winning the nomination.

Department of Agriculture to Renew Campaign for Home Gardening.

Take thought of the spring garden now. Notwithstanding the large production of vegetables this year and the great volume put into cans and jars for winter use, there is nothing to indicate that there will not be equal need for production and conservation in 191S, says the United States department of agriculture. Many gardens failed this year because of poor soil or poor preparation or both. This is the time in many sections to break and to fertilize. Then in the spring it will be easier to make the seed bed and the soil will contain plant food. For the average householder it will be sutlicient to prepare ground enough to produce the home supply for eating in the fresh state and for canning, drying or brining for use during the following winter. Producing vegetables for market should not be undertaken without full knowledge of horticulture and sufficient capital and equipment. Marshalltown, la., a city of 20,000, has located through its county agent and a special agent of the extension department 75 acres of lots within the city limits which were not cultivated the past season. They also found that much ground was not properly plowed and prepared during the past season and. that many of these lots failed to produce because of the poor character of the soil. Crops not well adapted to certain soils had been planted. It is the plan of the county agent and the local organisation in Marshalltown to extend the cultivated area and to see that the crops are adapted to soil conditions. Investigations in this city showed that $2,000 was paid in cash last year for food for the poor. Ninety per cent of the potatoes consumed were imported from a long distance. The committee conducting this survey work were appointed by the mayor and they are now systematically arranging to manure, plow and assign these' lots to persons desiring ground for gardens next year. Here is what one Iowa city is doing to get ready for next year's garden campaign: First. A survey of the city was made and 75 acres of space suitable for gardens was located inside the city limits in addition to what was put in gardens last spring. Second. Three hundred tons of manure which could be used fcr fertilizer were located within the city limits. Third. An inspection of the treasurer's books showed that 2 -000 in cash were paid out last year to needy people. Fourth. Ninety per cent of the potatoes consumed last year were shipped in from outside points. What did the city do about it? Well, the city council and commercial club met and appointed committees in every voting precinct. These committees will arrange for teams, wagons and plows, and will organize the work so that it can be done most efficiently and economically. The mayor says the eitj- will use some of the city money to employ teams and wagons and plows if necessary. It is further planned that those who receive support from the city must take care of a garden accord ing to instructions that is, provided they are able to work. Those who wish to prepare themselves to make a success of home vegetable gardens next spring should obtain farmers' bulletin No. SI 8, "The Small Vegetable Garden." which the United States department of agriculture. Washington, D. C, will send free on request. LANSING HAS COLIK WASHINGTON. Jan. 1?. Scc'y of State Lansing was confined to his home today with a severe cold.

Heports of the progress that has been made by the various merchants throughout the state in regard to the system of economy that was outlined by the members of the merchants' economy committee of Indiana at their organization meeting last August, will be given Monday at the state house in Indianapolis when the merchants' committee will hold its si-cond meeting. H. W. Eldridge of the Wyman -tore in this city will be the representative of the northern Indiana district, having charge of the work in the 10 counties in this part of the state. Tho purpose of the meeting will be to consider the progress that has already been made and outline further plans. Mr. EMride stated that at the organization meeting tho committee adopted regulations whereby deliveries in the stores would be reduced to two each day and he was of the opinion that at the meeting Monday the committee would decide to reduce deliveries to one a day. thereby releasing a number of men for war and other purposes. Merchants in this section of the state are working harmoniously with the rules laid down by the cenmittee and Mr. Eldridge sail that he would have nothing but g-cod reports to make from his territory. Resides the merchants taking hold the customers are accustoming themselves to the needs of the government and doing their utmost to eliminate waste. Previous to the organization of the economy committee the majority of the merchants in Indiana were making four and five deliveries a day, but as soon as the new orders were given the merchants cut their deliveries in half and they feel confident that if the committee decides to reduce their deliveries to one a day they will be able to successfully adopt the new regulations. It not only saves gasoline, tires and men hut it helps conservation all along the line stated Mr. Eldridge.

An Established Organization This organization has been established in South Bend since 1911. It is not a new company and not an experiment. We have taken on the exclusive representation or The II Casket For St. Joseph county. After careful investigation we believe this to be the best and most economical method of interment. Made of steel and cement, nicely covered inside and out, this casket affords protection equal to that of a cut-in-stone vault. Mr. L. W. McGann and Mr. F. E. Coats are in personal and active charge of this business. They wish to emphasize the non-sectarian nature of this organization. We have men of practically all creeds and fraternal affiliations who will give you careful, courteous and skilful service. Modern Motor Equipment Reasonable Rates
