FAMOUS TERRE iUTt FOLK HOLD REUNION

Colonel and Mrs. "Bill" Penn Visit Home of Miss Alice Fischer, Noted Actress.

By Mique O'Brien.

Could any finer tribute be paid to Miss Alice Fischer, Terr® Haute'a famous heroine of 100 successful war fund benefits than that which came her way when Col. "Bill" Penn and Mrs. ''Co!." Penn halted their young llmoulslne In front of Miss Fischer's home?

Mind yorr. Co!. Bill wasn't supposed to be gadding about at night, or even In the day time, for he was cheating his doctors and making' fools of them, bad cess to 'em. In being alive at all, let alone calling upon an actress lady even If she was an old friend and his •wife was with him at the time. "Come out here, Alice," commanded Col. Penn, and Alice Fischer camet all confused like. "You might have made It known somehow you were able to receive visitors

»ome of us could have squared

•urselves with ourselves by making the flrst oall." He Fooled the Doctors.

Col. Penn told how he fooled the doctors and the nurses In Chicago, and Miss Fischer told how she spent feer time since the war began. "Of course you know," said Miss foscher, "that theatrical and grand Opera stars are working overtime giving war benefits In the east. So far as I know, none of the real people have •idestepped the calls that have come to them. "I have b(*ett on iro'matiy 'committee 1 couldn't begin to give a full list offhand. Upon several occasions I ran Into Terre Haute people In connection tvlth these war activities. For instance, on© day when I was doinjf some lallyhooing in front of the library building In New York In behalf of the last Liberty Loan drive along came

Admiral "Nat" Usher, son of Hon. John P. Usher, who was a member of president Lincoln's cabinet. *£was raining hard, and Madam De Cfsneros 'was one of our star money-gatherers. With the rain pouring down upon her tihe sang 'The Star Spanned Banner,' fend Gerry Farrar never sang It better, to the tune of $20,000. £hea some "wealthy person yelled 'Sing Dixie and I'll buy |5,000 worth of bonds.' And *he did.

Btruftt# Are Success.

"Were the New York theatrical war benefits all real benefits? Nearly every one of them. There was one affair In which so much money was used up for •xpenses that we all felt keenly about It and paid some attention to the business end from that time on. **I made up my mind there would be •it least one benefit that would be 100 J«r cent for the soldiers, David Belasco—Glod bless him—was the man I ^elected to put It over. He gave us his theatre, his press agent, he paid all Advertising bills—and everything. It *vaa a free wool benefit, and we put on ft play by the wife of Louis DeFoe, the World critic* I think we gathered About $7,000 for free wool, without {lulling the wool over any theatre«oer*s eyes. Now here's a little secret.

Mr. Belasco had been po nice about this benefit, giving his theatre and all that, I thought a little letter from iPrealden Wilson In acknowledgment of *he affair would sort of recompense ,£iim. Well, he got it. And Mr. Belasco •wouldn't take a million dollars right tiow

tQf

that letter.

*'?7" Husband In Servioe.

"Of course you know my husband, Will Harcourt. is in the servioe? Well, !he Is. Tried to enlist as an ensign, and fussed around until he was given an appointment Will couldn't under(Ktsnd why he should be turned down Dust because he's beyond the draft ••ge."

Miss Fischer will be In Terre Haute

Imitation Soap, Tea and Bicycle Tires Are Now Being Famished the Germans

By Harofd Norman.

AMSTERDAM, June 15.—-T* V'hat extent Germany has succeeded in making substitutes for art!* cles now unobtainable Is indicated In an interesting article by a correspondent of the "Yerdensgang,a Christlania paper. Describing the recent Leipzig Fair, of which Germany made so much, the wriief *ays:

A surrogate for pepper is offer* ed for sale which. Judged only tof its appearance, seems almost the same as real pepper. The color, odor and taste have been surprisingly well imitated.

A tea is shown to which the name of "German tea" has been given. It Is prepared from any *one or & combination of a great variety of plants, from strawberry leaves to linden blossoms. It if said to taste very much like genu* lne tea, but even a half dozen cups will not produce the stimulation caused by a single cup of real tea.

There are any number of surro*

for about two week*. Two of her nephews. Sergeant "Jack" Crapo, of Camp Taylor, and Sergeant George Crapo, of the medical corps, are In the service.

Miss Fisafcer in fin herpes Indiana will do something In the way of theatrical benefits for our soldiers oomparable with those given in the east.

ZORAH TEMPLE PLANS,

Shriners Will Leave Hera Monday Morning for Indianapolis. At a special meeting of Zorah temple Friday evening arrangements were perfected for the big Shrinera* doings at Indianapolis Monday. A special special coach will be attached to the Vandalia train which leaves here at 8 a, m. One of the local bands has been engaged for the parade #hich will be hold In the afternoon. The patrol has bee"n putting in some great drilling, getting ready for the event. The committee in charge anticipate a party of about one hundred. Had! Temple, of Bvansville, passes through the city this afternoon on their way to Indianapolis and members of Zorah are expected to be at the Union station to entertain them during their short stop-ove%

WHAT THEY SAY*

FRANK KELLBY—It's funny. A man will pride himself on his wisdom and sagacity and on his good sense, and the flrst thing you know he Is predicting when the war will end. That tears down his reputation for good sense that has taken a whole life to build up.

PKTR CARR—I would like to see a ball game for the Red Cross between two teams composed of the surviving members of the old Awkwards and the Blues. I can remember when ten thousand Terre Hauteans used to gather on the commons of a Sunday and watch the historic battles of these

JTSFF WALSH—Colonel Tom Kehoe does not seem to understand the new order from the government, work or fight suppose he needs aa interpreter,'

JAMES POWERS—Yes, I've got a Tot of comment on the gaiety of colors in my new sign, but I don't believe in giving away to mourning because we are at war.

JTIM HOSK1NS—In Bird Center, Pa., tbey do not burn their garbage. They have a municipal stook pen, and they feed the garbage to the hogs and sell them to the packers. jLast year they netted $1,603.

gates for marmalades, It being a well known fact that there is a scarcity of butter and jams to put on bread. Most of these marmalades are prepared from garden vegetables instead of from fruits, and with a minimum amount of sugar. The means by which they are made and the substances which enter into their manufacture are, however, secrets known only to the persons who produce them.

Substitute soap is offered for Kile which is said to have been prepared from the oil in berries and fronj pumice stone. It lacks, however, the one main characteristic of soap, that of working up Into a rich creamy lather, otherwise It is very good. Substitutes are alaQ to fcS had tor laundry bluetog.

fighting, with the Germans using gas shells in the Bouresches region. In Flanders the British took 70 pris oners in a local operation north of Bethune. Elsewhere on this front and In Picardy there were only minor raids.

A wireless dispatch from Petrograd reported that the Germans had started an "offensive" between Valulkl and Zhukovk, taking three villages In the neutral zone provided by the BrestLttovsk treaty. These towns are about 100 miles east of Kharkov.

An Amsterdam report said that Russia and Ukraine have signed a provisional treaty providing for a cessation of hostilities, and expressing their mutual willingness to enter peace negotiations. German poison gas, floating across the Swiss border, killed two children, according to a Geneva dispatch. Swiss soldiers and officials In that vicinity are forced to wear gas mask*.

PARIS IS HAPPY OVER EVENTS OP THE WEEK

This Smash May End It fox Oer* vany, But Not for the Allies.

FARIS. June 15.—The impression given here by the German efforts yesterday is that the enemy Is determined by every means possible to hasten the climax of the battle.

That the climafx may prove decisive for the Germans, Is everywhere recognized, but it is also recognised that whatever success the Germans can achieve, It cannot be decisive for the allies and oannot affect th# end of the war, which can only be brought to a conclusion by the decisive defeat of Germany.

Evidence both of Germany's desire to force a decision and of the exhaustion, of her effective reserves is seen In the fact that yesterday the crown prince was forced to borrow two divisions of the Prussian guard and two divisions of Bavarians from the army ef Crown Prince Ruppreoht. It was through the efforts of these four divisions that the ,enemy succeed in taking the villages of Mary, Belloy and Saint Maur.

The strength of the French resistance has delighted Paris and given birth to the highest hopes for the Immediate future.

VTVE LA STANCE! SHE'S STILL XWSHAEEN

By Ernest Lebuqua,

PARIS, June 14,—I wish the people of America could see this spirit of the French people. If they could they would give them the last dollar they have and the last drop of their life's blood.

Next to the great, outstanding fact of today that the German drive has been halted, the principal subsidiary facts are that the French people have not lost any of their confidence in General Foch.

The enemy Is still

from where they could bombard Paris with any guns more effective than the foolish Berthas.

With the continued confidence In Foch, the French people realize that If their re-enforcements had been at Chemln des Dames when the drive began there last week the attack would simply have begun elsewhere. They do not expect the allied commander In chief to do the impossible and re-enforce the whole line in view of the present numerical disadvantage. The cheerful thing to remember Is that the numerical disadvantage for the allies is being remedied by the continued arrival of troops from America and England.

It is taken for granted, however, that there will be another attack In July, perhaps sooner, for the Germans know that the number will be against them by the end of the summer. They are bound to try again before that time. The allied armies will be much, stronger in July than

May.
