TELLS OF FIGHTING IN [ARRANGE Fi XKIAS 11 ST. HIDE SALIENT PACKAGES TO YANKS

Sullivan Boy In Letter To Parents Describes Air Work of American Forces.

By Special Correspondent. SULLIVAN. Ind.. Oct. 24—A .graphic description of the air fighting the St. Mihiel salient, is given by Lieut. Robert Linkenhoker, United States aviator, in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Linkenhoker. of this city. "The air activity in the fighting which* effaced the St.

Mihiel salient.says Lieut. Linkenhoker, "befitted the rest of the action." "Am&rican airmen were in the air in force, and in co-operation with the l-'retich, were as spectacularly successful in their element an the infantry and otbor branches of the service were in theirs."

Lieut. Linkmhokrr, after several months of preliminary training in "Italy as a bomber, was sent to the western front and is now at a r«st camp on the coast of Spain. "Prom the doughboy viewpoint*" he •aya. "there never before has been stich a show of American strength in the air, never such support. From the standpoint of a spectacle it was three times a three ring circus with something doing all the time. From the military standpoint it was a. scientific, methodical maintenance of superiority above the battlefield. And for the satisfaction of tens of thousands of fighting men scattered over those 150 miles of conquered territory, who looked admiringly on while low flying planes skimmed a few hundred feet overhead and snooped through shrapnel puffs over the border of Uunland who saw groups circling far above, disappear in the clear azure of the sky. who saw squads of them fighting, like wwarms of enraged hornest, and saw *ome fall, it may be said We had all the best of it."

"Tho aviators' part in the battle, in reality began the day before the in fantry went over the tot. That day was cloudy and rainy. Nevertheless the whole St. Mihiel salient was under constant surveillance by Yankee aviators, who, flying singly to avoid exciting suspicion, skimmed beneath the low clouds, oftimes in the rain, and 'noted the uneasiness of the enemy, the beginning of his effort to escape the impending storm." "The next day tho Yankee advance was in full swing, the Boche was making desperate efforts to get out of the salient with as much material as possible, and the fact that he only partially got out and tnat the advancing infantry took thousands of prisoners and millions of dollars' worth of spoils can be attributed In a large measure to the aviators."

CITY SEALER GOES AFTER "PROFITEERS IN T.ARTI SALES

Official Declares That Product In Pails Is Sometimes Sold Under y False Pretense.

•City Sealer A. J. Buck announced Thursday morning that war profiteers in Terre Haute were reaping a harvest from the sale of lard in tin pails, and that the public was being overcnarged for this product. Mr. Buck said that a few day** ago he noticed a card in a local window advertising lard at 32 cents per pound. After an investigation it developed that in actual weight a pail weighing one pound and nine pounds of lard were being 6old for S3.20. A rebate of 5 cents for the return of the pail made the lard actually cost the consumer $3.15, or 3» cents per pound.

Mr. Buck immediately ordered the merchant displaying the sign to take it down and gave him 24 hours to do ao. He said that he later returned to the place and'found the sign still up. Another investigation showed that the additional pound which had been originally taken from the pail, had been replaced and that the pail then weighed 11 pounds, or contained 10 pounds of lard, as advertised.

Warning was given the merchant sbout again selling the nine pound pail without explaining the matter to the customer. Lard In five pound pails, according to Mr. BtKk. is a bigger fraud than in ten pound pails. savs that cacta advertised five pound pml weighs 'four pounds and six ounces and that two of them weigh but eight pounds and twelve ounces, while the customer Is given ten cents for the return of the two pails, making the lard co*»t a fraction over 33 cents per pound, when the price of lard bulk should be 33 cents.

NEW CREED BORN,

Follow* Factional Fight In Ranks of U. B. Church In Union. By Special Correspondent.

CLINTON, Ind., Oct. 24.—As a result of the factional fight of the flock of the United Brethren church in Unfon, which is hanging on the pending verdict of a suit which has been in the circuit court the past three years, a new creed and cult has been born. The spiritual barque has been launched and is being captained and guided by Rev. George Potter, who was the leader of one of the warring factions.

The new church is to be krtbwn as the ''New Era Church in Christ," and Rev. Potter, who is fondling the spiritual infant, assures his Toliowers that it is healthy and will grow as the proverbial "Green Bay Tree."

The United Brethren Chrtreh in Union was founded here in Clinton by Rev. A. C. Butcher and Rev. George Potter was recruited by the founder as one of the preachers. Later Rev. Potter was promoted by Butcher as a traveling elder, to guide the grazing of the flocks in Fontanet, Terre Haute and West Terre Haute.

But trouble arose which resulted In a clash between Rev. Butcher and his lieutenant. Each had a following and the result was that the church was divided into fighting factions. Each claimed possession of the church house and the quiet title proceeding is now pending in the circuit court, awaiting the decision of Attorney Harold Henderson, who was named as a special judge.

Rut Brother "Toiler became impatient at the long wait and proceeded to launch a new creed independent of the Butcher church and its fighting factions. The larger portion of the congregation lives at West Terre Hajite or Whitcomb Heights, and there the first meeting was held and the new church born. Rev. Potter is the traveling elder, as well as the father of the new organization, wnich has already been duly incorporated and bound in articles prepared by Attorney George E. Bingham. Bingham was Rev. Potter's attorney in the court trial of the fighting factions of the church he has left.

PEOPLE WILSON EDICT

Continued From Page On*.

22nd transmitting A communication under date of the 20th from the German government and to advise you that the president has instructed mc to reply thereto as follows: "Having received the solemn and

plicit assurance of the German government that it unreservedly accepts the terms of peace laid down in his address to the congress of the United States on the Sth of January, 1918, and the principles of settlement enunciated in his subsequent addresses, particularly the address of the 27th of September, and that it desires to discuss the details of their application and that this wish and purpose emanated, not from those who have hitherto dictated German policy and conducted the present war on Germany's behalf, but from ministers who speak for the majority of the reichstag and for an overwhelming majority of the German people and having received' also the explicit promise of the present German government that the humane rules of civilized warfare will be observed both on land and sea by the German armed forces, the president of the United States feels that he cannot decline to take up with the governments with which the government of the United States is

associated the question of an

armistice. "He deems it his duty to say again, however, that the only armistice he wpuld feel justified in submitting for consideration would be one which would leave the United States and the powers associated with her in a position to enforce any arrangements that may be entered into and to make a renewal of hostilities on the part of Germany impossible. The president has, therefore, transmitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as a belligerent, with the suggestion that, if those governments are disposed to effect pieace upon the terms and principles indicated, their military advisers and the military advisers of the United States be asked to submit to the governments associated against Germany the necessary terms of such an armistice as will fully protect the Interests of the peoples involved and ensure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to safeguard and enforce the details of the peace to which the German government has agreed, provided they deem such an armistice possible from the military point of view. .Should such terms of armistice be suggested, their acceptance by Germany will afford the best concrete evidence of her unequivocal acceptance of the terms and principles of peace from which the whole action nroceeds. "Tho president would deem himself lacking in candor did he not point out in the frankest possible terms, the reason why extraordinary safeguards must he demanded. Significant and important as the constitutional changes seem to be which are spoken of by the German foreign secretary ir his note of the twentieth of October, it does not appear that the principle of a government responsible to the German people, has yet been fully worked out, or that any guarantees either exist or are in contemplation that the alterations of principle and or practice now partially agreed upon will be permanent. Moreover, it does not appear that the heart of the present difficulty has been reached. It may be that future wars have been brought under the cont.rol of the German people, but the present war has not been and it is with the present war that we1 are dealing. It is evident that the

German people have no means of commanding the acquiescence of the mili

tary authorities of the empire in the popular will that the power of the king of Prussia to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired that the determining initiative still remains with those who have hitherto been the masters of Germany. Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now on plain speaking and straightforward action, the president deems it his duty to say, without any attempt to soften what may seem harsh words, that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who have hitherto been the masters of German policy, and to point out once mora that in concluding peace and attempting to undo the infinite injuries and injustices of this war, tile government of the United States cannot deal with any but veritable representatives of the German people, who have been assured of a genuine constitutional standing as tho real rulers of Germany. If it must deal with the military mas ters and the monarchial autocrats of Germany now, or if it is likely to have to deal with them later, in regard to the international obligations of thi German empire, it must demand, noc peace negotiations, but surrender, Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid.
