DAIL YD EMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by The Decatur Democrat Company JOHN H. HELLER President ARTHUR R. HOLTHOUSE, Secretary Subscription Ratos Ter Week, by carrier 10 cents Per Year, by carrier 15.00 Per Month, by mall 25 cents Per Year, by mall $3.00 Single Copies 2 cents Advertising rates made known on application. Entered at the postofllce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The ice men have decided to give the public a square deal which oug.it to help some during the balmy days it January ami February. Os course it would have been considered more patriotic a month ago but it’s all right yet for the Palm Beach poor. There seems to be a tendency to put X. off the new coal prices as long as possible but the quicker we realize that the government is in earnest about this matter the better it is going to be for every one. There is no use trying to dodge orders from the government. If you can't give five or ten dollars for the boys of company A. give fifty cents or a dollar or two dollars. There) is no fixed amount. If ou don’t want your name used give it as a friend. The boys will derive more pleasure from the money than you will if you keep it and every cent must be accounted for. The long-hoped for rain finally came and it is expected to save a ' good many thousand dollars for the farmers of Adams county, though a week or two late in arriving. For hours the rain came down gently and steadily and the results can be scon already, a freshness of color appearing in every field and garden. We regret exceedingly that Govern r Goodrich is suffering an at«*i In or typhoid fever and we sincerely hope for a speedy and complete recovery. During the months he has served as chief executive of this great state his burdens have been unusually heavy and there is little doubt that his efforts to perform these to the best interests of his people, have so taxed his constitution that he became more susceptible to the disease. Every citizen of the state will earnestly hope that he may succsesfully battle the very serious ailment wtyh which he is confined to the hospital. The people of this community have teen solicited so many times the past few months, for contributions of every kind, that the Rotary club decided not to do so, personally for the company A fund, though they feel it one of the most worthy of any that has come up. So important is the fund and so near and so much desired by every one-that they felt this would not be necessary. It would be much more patriotic if the,fund should be given without the personal solicitation and it is to be hoped it will. If you havn’t given your share yet, do it this week. The boys » are likely to be called to Fort Harrison any day now.

L After the war Is over you will ask ■ yourself the question “What did I do » to help my country!" Not all of u_’are privileged lo take a leading part I'.in this history making, but we t can each think patriotically and do 'that duty which presents itself in the y ■ manner that will best serve the country. These are serious days indeed 'and they will be so written in the fus 0 ture. Do your part now in such a mar.s 1 ner that the finger of scorn will not be 0 pointed at you in the years to come. ’ If you can’t go to war you can i.t B least help those who do go and in many ways.

On account of the heavy rain last night and this morning, trenches were dug around the tents at Camp Niblick to keep the water yut. These trendies not only keep the tent floors dry but give the camp a more military appearance. The work was done by the police detail. The company electrician has made some new improvements at the camp. Each tent is now lighted with electric lights and several more lights have been strung around over the parade ground. The boys of Company A are very, . very patriotic. nen some well-mo ming person gave the comapny several records sung in the German language a few of the boys took offense at them. While the rest of the company was out i on drill yesterday two of the boys ; soon made an end to the records sung in the language of our enemy, by a few . well chosen kicks. It is requested that ! German records lie henceforth omit- . ted from contributions to the com- ■ pany’s collection. i Vp at Kendallville, the headquart *rs i of Company D, 3rd Indiana Infantry, a unique scheme was utilized in raising funds for the "home soldiers.

The Ixjys assembled for mess today in the building donated by Col. Dick Townsend for the company’.- use and from there marched to the difieieiit restaurant's. The rain is also making the tents at Camp Niblick small havens of refuge. In one ot the small tents [this morning were counted 24 boys.

I Citizens Flee From Trieste (Continued from Paco One) Th king this as a basis, it can be assumed that if Germany has withdrawn 30 divisions, her losses must be anywhere from 60,000 to 75.000. A conservative esthnafe would ’tut them considerably above 50,000. Seven German divisions which wore on the Flanders front on July 1 are si ill there. These estimates of losses do not take into account the huge casualties which the enemy has auslained of into around Verduu and the ChentUi Ik’s Dames. Berne, August 28 (Special to Dally Democrat)- Germany is suffering from an almost nation wide epidemic of dysentery. German mortality rates have jumped front 50 to a hundred per cent since the first of the yaar. Tuberculosis is ravaging the people, due to their weakened condition through lack of proper food. This information came to the United States today from a source of highest authority. The German government is making ■ frantic efforts to conceal the dysentery epidemic. All German cities have stopped publication of mortality staj tistics. The tuberculosis rate is said : to have nearly doubled in the last few ! months. Every effort is being made to reassure the German public. Scores of reports have reached here re ently of local outbreaks of dysentery in Germany. From information obtained today it appeared these have been merely local outbreaks as coni- ' pared with the present practically universal spread of the scourge, j Dysentery comes in part through I lack of proper liet. It is in order to conceal this lack of food that the German government is making such ex- ! traordinary efforts to suppress all de- ‘ I tails of the epidemic. : —o- — READY BY SEPT 18TH. tUnivud Press .Service!
