O' SAVES MANY LIVES:Pins, it is said, have saved countless thousands of lives by not being swallowed. By a similar process of inverted reasoning we may affirm that our reputation for justice, impartiality and wisdom has been conserved by the innumerable blunders which the President did not commit in his reply to the German and Belgian representations concerning atrocities. Pitfalls yawned on every side. There was the obvious temptation to address to the 1 German emperor a homily on the advantages of peace; time might have been gained by asking for a detailed presentation of the evidence; Mr. Wilson might have given offense to both sides by inquiring how he could be expected to make up his mind when the testimony was so conflicting. He did nothing of the sort. To the German emperor and to the Belgian committee the President gave an answer that is faultless in its language and in its substance. It would be unwise, it would be premature, he says, .

for any one government “to form or 1 express a final judgment," and “It would even be inconslstant wltn the neutral position of any nation, which like this, has no part in the contest." Very appropriately he reminds the emperor that "the nations of the world have fortunately by agreement, made a plan for such a reckoning and settlement.” The Hague tribunal can hear and determine causes of this nature, and tne opinion of mankind, “the final arbiter in all such matters," will supply whatever is lacking in any decision that may be’ rendered at The Hague Such a reply to the protests made cannot fail, ns the President says, to commend itself to the complainants “as a true expression of sincere neutrality.” When war is over a day of accounting shall come, and the President takes it for granted that then “ the nations of Europe will assemble to determine a settlement." That is an assurance to the American people and a reminder to the powers now at war that the tradition and the practice which we have observed since the founding of this republic still contrcl our actions. With the political concerns of the European nations, with their agreements and their disagreements. we do not concern ourselves We are deeply pained when they make war. we rejoice when they make peace. The terms of peace are their own affair, not ours. It is a source of great comfort and satisfaction to feel that in such a time as this we have a President who knows so well how to do and say the ringht thing.— The New York Times (Ind.) The rain last evening caused the postponement of the French township meeting but it will lie held later.

Republican Misrepresentations. ft £ • a The Republican papers throughout the State, at the request of the Republican Stato Committee, published the following: “DEMOCRATIC ‘ECONOMY” IN INDIANA." The cost a year of the State government under four administrations —two republican and two democratic—follows: Administration. Cost Per Year. Durbin, republican $2,389,709.41 Hanly, republican 2,805,163.29 Marshall, democrat 3,673,812.03 Ralston, democrat (one year) 4,433,879.70 THE FACTS. The actual cost a year of the State government under four administrations—two republican and two democratic—follows: Administration. Cost Per Year. Durbin, republican $3,725,856.84 Hanly, republican 4,724,253.39 Marshall, democrat ... 4,625,005.63 Ralston, democrat 4,528,295.15 The last figures are taken from the records in the Auditor of State’s Office, and can be verified. Why do the republicans misrepresent the facts to you so much? Because they want to get back to their pie counter. WHO’S WHO WITH THE CANDIDATES

HYou have all no doubt heard of the ( subject of this sketch. He is the dem- ] ocratic nominee for treasurer of Adams county. His name is George ( Kinzle, and lie is one of the most pop- ( ular men in the county. He was born 1 in Convoy, Ohio, March 19, 1870, and . was reared and educated there, gradu- j ating from the high school of that ( place. Starting out to make his own ( way he came to this city some twen- , ty years ago and has since resided here. Shortly after arriving here he t was given employment as a lineman t tor the Citizens’ Telephone company, tnd has been in the employ of that ; ?ompany continuously since, serving tor years past as manager. The fact * George Kinzle t * iat lle * las tlle one P° sit,on dur "

ing all these years is but one of the many good things that can be said of George Kinzle. He is thoroughly com- J petent, is square and honest, a man whom you will like when you meet and whom you keep on liking as you know him better. In the primary last December Mr. Kinzle secured more than twice as many votes as did his li opponent in this city where both men lived. He had no organisation as has been charged but was given the big vote because of his own popularity and the faith of his friends in his ability to conduct the office. He has tab- 1 en an active part in various associations and has always made good. His home life is a perfect one and his entire forty-four years of life an open book, which the public is cordially invited to Inspect. As county treasurer he will serve you faithfully, courteously and well, and he is deserving of- - sincere support. We believe you will never regret your choice if you it vote for George Kinzle.

HEAR GOVERNOR RALSTON AT i THE COURT HOUSE NEXT FRIDAY AFTERNOON HE OUGHT TO BE BETTER ABLE TO TELL YOU THE REAL CONDITIONS IN INDIANA POLITICS THAN THE ORDIN ARY STATESMAN. > "A vote for Miller is a half vote for i Shively,” warbles the Indianapolis I Star. Yes, and a vote for Beveridge is ' likewise a half vote, so what willp'ou do about it? Senator Shively will be re-elected to the senate by more than 100.000 and the entire state ticket will follow so close there won't need to oe any contests. VOTERS OF ADAMS COUNTY! You have been fed a lot of hot air in this campaign and the orators for the independents seem to think you will swallow it, bait, cork and all. Do you • realize that not one of these statements issued were given under the official seal, that none of them were sworn to. Why should you believe them? Governor Ralston will be here next i Friday afternoon at 1:30. You should ■ hear him discuss the issues of the , hour. As the highest executive of the i state he has proven efficient. He is in a better position than any one else to tell the people of the state just what the democrats have done, good or ba-1, and he will do so. If you want to know, come and hear him.

Mr. Walters is busy making 1 speeches these days. He has spoken on various topics and has wandered a good ways from his subject In each. ( Perhaps that is because he is not very , well posted. He could deliver a mighty interesting talk on "The Hakes' 1 Peace Conference," and ought to be j able to stick right to the text. Sup- ' pose he does that at his next meeting! ' BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU STOPPED TO THINK THAT NONE OF THE STATEMENTS ISSUED IN THE CAMPAIGN BY COUNTY TREASURER ARCHBOLD HAVE BEEN ATTESTED OR GIVEN UNDER HiS OFFICIAL SEAL? WHY NOT HAVE HIM DO SO? HE MIGHT BE MORE I CAREFUL. IF HE MAKES THE , STATEMENT UNDER OATH OR HIS OFFICIAL ATTEST THAT THE DEMOCRAT COMPANY RECEIVED 1 FROM ADAMS COUNTY $5,571 LAST ' YEAR OR ANYWHERE NEAR THAT ' SUM HE WILL HAVE A MERRY LITTLE CONTEST ON HIS HANDS. TRY IT, BILL! The independents have based their campaign on several statements which we claim are absolutely false. It Is • unfair and we do not believe the people of this county will support them in such tactics. They have said that the county is short $9,272.75, but they ] never said so under oath, did thev? They have said that this office drew $5,771 last year but they never said so under oath, did they? They have said the surveyor’s office Are. over $7,000 last year, but they never made oath to it, did they? Now, if these facts are true, it ought not to be a serious matter for them to go on record had it? Will they do it? In all seriousness, we dare them to. Graham and Walters have fought the democrats consistently for a good many years and they will continue to do so as long as they live, right or wrong. Those who follow their leadership ought to know that it is a game of politics with those men and nothing else. In a recent speech Mr. Walters made at Bobo he got rid of a lot of his ill feelings and several of those who heard him were so disgusted that they made up their minds right then to vote the county democratic ticket. Lee Walters as a sincere reformer is a joke, as a politician you never heard of him supporting anybody but a republican or following any other standard. He is working now to disrupt the democratic party and for no other reason. Don't imagine that he is. - I P. L. reported the Duncan meeting and as would be expected from him, said it was a fizzle. A meeting would have to be such as to require seven or eight overflow speeches to elicit from this noted journalist the report of even a fair crowd. As compared with the Fairbanks meeting, the Duncan meeting was a great success, though we are willing to admit that there was room in the house for more people. It was a rainy evening and the crowd present was large enough that with four candidates ip the field, and voting for three one man received seventy-one votes and the lowest thir-ty-five. However, we can’t see just what the is in deliberately making a misstatement concerning such a meeting. The idea of the citizens i during the entire campaign and long I before has been to misrepresent and I misquote. Yet they accuse others of dishonesty. We don’t even see how , they expect to fool anybody with such tactics. POLITICAL CALANDAR | : Berne, Friday, October 16 —J. C. , Moran and L. G.

Allegar of Marion arrived for a week-end visit with her mother, Mrs. Harriet Coverdale, and her sister, Mrs. George Dutcher, north of the city. Twenty-one members of the Euterpean club braved the rain of last evening and made their way to the home of Miss Ruby Miller, where they were well repaid for the excellent evening s study under the leadership of Mrs. D. T. Stephenson. On account of the teachers going to Indianapolis during the time of the next meeting in two weeks, the hostess and leader of No vember 5 have exchanged places with those of October 29. Mrs. Mills will be hostess in two weeks and Mrs. Nola Archbold will be leader. “The Montessori School” is the subject. Miss Effie Miller, who Is a much feted bride-elect, was the guest of honor at another shower given last evening by her cousin. Miss Lydia Miller, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Miller, on West Monroe street. There were twenty-five of the friends of the guest of honor present. Progressive peanuts was the game played at the little tables. A lovely fruit picture was the prize won by Miss Alice Knapp and a set of two shaded candlesticks was won by Miss Josephine Lang, these gifts being presented in turn to Miss Miller. The hostess was assisted by her mother in serving an appetizing luncheon at the tables following the games. The unwrapping of the gifts was an enjoyed feature of the evening. These had been placed op the dining room table under a dome formed of the draping of fluted crepe paper streamers from the chandelier to the table. The gifts were pictures, linens, china, rugs and many very pretty things expressive of the good will and love of the donors. o THE STORK'S STOP. An eight-pound boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith this morning at the home of Mrs. Smith’s mother. Mrs. George Simmerman, east of the city. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Beatrice Simmerman and this is their first born child. o | DRINK HOT TEA FOR A BAD COLD -W" 'X"-W* -O' *O • "W* • W—W*’W --e -- O" "W** • • -* 1 Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or aa the German folks call it, ‘‘Hamburger Brust Thee.” at any pharmacy.

OSTEND IS OCCUPIED BY GERMAN CAVALRY f'-tl ’ (CONTINUkIfc FROM PAGE ONE) Democrat)—Germany is planning to sacrifice her new reserve army in a filial desperate attempt to crush France. Realization of this was brought home to every one today when the war office announced that the allied line now extended from Ypres to the North sea. This new line also involves the newly arrived British forces and French reserves from the south, was created to prevent a general outflanking movement by the German reserves ji ted to be traversing Germany enroute t othe battle front. One report reached here placed the number at not less than 240,000 men of all branches of the service. When they arrive they will find the allies ready for them. Strongly entrenched positions have been taken up and the allies’ battle line extends east from a point on the North sea between Dunkirch and the Belgian frontier, to Ypres and then curves in a line across the Somme to the Oise and the Aisne and again east across France and is one that the military experts say can be held indefinitely.
