TODAY'S REGISTRATION.
Thfrtwn million of men win register today for service in the United States army. This is in accord with President Wilson's ultimatum that we are in the war to the utmost of onr power. ••Registration" today means Just that. It will be the mere recording of the Citizen of eligible service age. He is not sounded as to his ability for. service or as to his -notion of exemption. The registrant is not asked orally, in the presence of others, whether or not he claims exemption or deferred classification. The question will be put in the written questionnaire which will be mailed to the citizen within a few days.
Questioning today
i
L%-
"A
is of
the sim-
iplest kind, concerning only the registrant's name, address, age, date of birth, colnr, place of birth, citizenship, occupation, employer's name, place of employment, and name and address of nearest relative. Upon answering these questions the registrant receives his Y»lue card and he will then await the arrival at his home of the questionnaire, a sixteen-page form to be filled in in the privacy of the home with more or less intellectual agony.
When the questionnaire Is returned ifio government will have a full statement of the registrant's economic, so-
Ul and occupational status. If the citizen has the best of reasons for asking exemption, or deferred classification and yet be too proud to make the olaim, the official examination of his jiiestlonnaire will bring to light the error' of his pride. Yet his white lie would delay the machinery of the draft to some little extent, ^t is far better, since the question is to be asked, that th'n man questionrd should answer it.

The Bullet or The Ax
I do not know what artistic, scientific, and philosophic fashions may be in vogue in future times. But this I know, men will govern themselves. No where will a populous nation cringe before an irresponsible madman, such as the present Kaiser, who has made of the earth a graveyard and funeral pall of the soul. I do not know what men tnay think in future times but they will not understand this man. Reading history, they will not understand how a man bom of a good women, nursed at her breast, playful in childhood, having brothers and sisters and all good things as if the earth were a fairyland, grew to manhood, loved and had children of his own, had many beautiful gardens and stately palaces, had every wish gratified by seventy million willing souls—I say men, reading history in future times, will not understand how such a man did not become a very god of love and gratitude. They will not understand how, instead, he turned and bit the breasts where children drink how he sat in a quiet woodland palace, and many times by a signature or a word sent hundreds of thousands of men to unspeakable agony and terrible death, yet always spared his own sons how he murdered little children, cut off the hands of little boys how he tortured innocent young women by tearing them from their homes and, under guard of soldiers crazed by blood and wine, transporting them like cattle to distant lands—innocent, blameless young women who never did him or anybody harm how be wantonly burned cities that held centuries of accumulated treasures dear to the art and learning of the whole world how he dragged labor-weary old men and women from their homes and shot them. In history he will consort with Nero, Tamerlane, and Ivan the Terrible—human monstrositiest do not know what men may think in future times, but this I know: They will demand to read in the record of this most bloody war, that he, too, felt the quick, sharp agony of terrible death. And if there be made a peace that does not shed his blood, it will be a damned peace! Upon* this America has set her teeth and heart! The living, the dead, posterity^-all demand for him the bullet or the ax.

WHERE THEY WILL PASS.
The official Gerthan rteport containing the statement that "we are everywhere in our new positions" may fairly be taken to mean that the Germans have occupied the lines they intend to hold, if they can. It is an abandonment of the highly favored pretense that every retirement of the Germans is voluntary, and no admission that if the line continues to retire it will be because the allies forced it to.
Unless the war is to be a failure, that retirement is coming, but it may not come as a result of an attack upon the line which the Germans now say they intend to hold. This war is not all in Picardy and Flanders. Much less is it all on the Hindenburg line, and, if that line cannot be pierced further, it can be turned. Then will come another retirement, and finally the laat stand of the' Germans on the it own frontier— the best fortified frontier possessed by any of the warring nations. It has been paid that a break through that

line is impossible. Suppose it is. The war is not all in France. There is a road through Austria, another over Russian soil, another through the Balkans and still another on the sea.
As sure as American strength is rising white German strength fails, so sure is it that the way will be found.
BELATED REPORT8.
The statement by Gen. March that there are something like 20,000 American wounded soldiers in France whose names have not appeared in the official reports does not come as a surprise, nor is it any evidence of concealment.
Casualties, even of the slightest nature, can be easily reported in France or in England, but the cables across the Atlantic are few and burdened Therefore, the American casualty lists do not come a* rapidly as they come to other countries, but no one could have supposed that they were not larger than the reports on this side show.
American troops have been engaged, often heavily, since the middle of July. They have proved themselves as ready to encounter danger as the troops of any country on either side, and, inevitably, they have paid the price.
RAILROAD FIGURES.
Mr. McAdoo's statement yesterday about the increased efficiency of the railroads of the country will be a revelation in a good many quarters. While operating costs have increased enormously, owing to the increased wages granted the lower-paid employes, the public is assured none of it is waateo in creating or maintaining sinecures Some of the economies, such as the consolidation of terminals and agencies and other® effected by direct routing of freight and elimination of passenger trains, have not yet had an opportunity to demonstrate themselves. They are all steps toward greater efficiency, however, and if we may judge by Mr. McAdoo's previous record for accomplishing what he starts out- to do, there will be no let-up until the railroads are working as smoothly in practice as we imagine they should in theory.
Not the least interesting features of the report is Mr. McAdoo's reference to the coal situation. On this subject he says: "Of late cars hare frequently been supplied to the coal rfiines more rapidly than they have been able to load them." This would seem to give the lie to those who are prone to blame the railroads for every fault that is laid at their doors. At any rate it is encouraging to note that the railroad administration is giving c^ose attention to the fuel situation and that in the last six months the increase in coal carried has been 437,976 cars, as compared with 1917.
The director general promises a further increase in efficiency, and is confident that "the railroads will shortl be in a condition to meet any demands that may be mado upon them," if needed motive power already ordered can be secured, and "if labor is not withdrawn from tht railroads for military and other purposes."
The big Austrian drive on Italy doesn't seem to be affecting the Italians, but it probably makes a lot of interesting talk in Vienna.
Some of the French tanks are run by alcohol, says an exchange. Well, there are American tanks that couldn't run any other way.
MIES' BAND WILL COME SEPTEMBER 20
Arrive Here At Five O'clock In Afternoon for Evening Parade— Day's Itinerary.
Martial and popular music by the Jackies band, traine.d at the Great Lakes naval station by John Philip Sousa, America's greatest band-mas-tar, will feature the educational and inspirational efforts preliminary to the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, in Indiana.

A patriotic demonstration followed with an appropriate program of music and talks. All the homes in the neighborhood were decorated with flags.
The bugler from Rose training detachment opened the program with the bugle call. Robert Weston led the community singing of *The Star Spangled Banner" and "America." He sang "The Trumpeter" as a solo. The Vandalia drum corps put vim into the program with selections interspersed with bugle calls.
Mayor. Charles R. Hunter gave a short patriotic speech. He remarked that this was the first, neighborhood service flag in Terre Haute, but said he hoped there would be many others for the boys of the other neighborhoods. Patriotic airs were played on R. E. Gibbons' victrola, and Miss Odetta Gates played "Over There'' and "Keep the Home Fires Burning" on the violin, accompanied by Miss Eileen Lietzman at the piano.

Evidence to show that House had purchased the bicycle from another party, not knowing that it had been stolen, was submitted by the defense.

Friday, September 13,1918.
According to astrology this is a fairly favorable day, for Jupiter and Saturn rule strongly for good, while the sun and Neptune are adverse.
Commercial transactions have the best possible rule during this configuration and there is likely to be a good autumn trade in many lines of business.
All legal matters are well directed today. There is promise of great achievement for American lawyers who will win high honors, in public service.
Saturn this day gives promise of gain from whatever is produced from the earth. Agriculture and mining are both subject to the best government of the stars.
This sway is held to be stimulating to all executive work. Organizing, planning and management are well aspected.
The planets seem to indicate that the war will bring about such efficiency through organization and centralization that all lines of work, private as well as public, will be benefited.
Railways and newspapers are to enjoy unusual prosperity during October, if the stars are read aright.
Increase of crime as the autumn advances will cause anxiety and bring about measures for reform.
Prisons again will be much discussed and prisoners may come under measures that will greatly improve their condition.
Close connection with the allies will continue after the war, the seers declare, for, in addition to common interests and many inter-marriages with Americans, overseas transportation by aeroplane will bring Europe very close.
There is a sign presaging the death of a person of national fame this month.
Persons whose birth date it is may have an unsettled year marked by annoyances. Business may require special attention.
Children born ^n this day may be proud and ambitious, but industrious wnd successful. Their principal ruling! planet is Mercury. I

The Branch House Man
This is one of the Swift & Company Branch Ktouse Men. They are all prptty much alike in the way they feel toward their work—and that is what this ad is about
They know that most people couldn't get such good meat promptly and in good condition if it weren't for the branch houses of which they are in charge.
They know that the branch house Is one of the most important links in the chain of preparing and distributing meat for a nation.
They know that Swift & Company must have its branch houses run at the highest notch of usefulness that even a Swift & Company branch house won't run itself, and that it is up to the branch house man to run it properly.
i
Any branch house man who doesn't see his work in this light is transferred to some other place with Swift & Company to which he is better adapted.
They are picked men, these branch house men. Every time you sit down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast, you can give a grateful thought to the whole crew of them.
And remember, in a general way, that everything that makes life smoother and more convenient for you is the result of the thoughtfulness and effort of a lot of people of whom you have never heard
