FEAR U-53 ERROR WILL DRAG U. S. INTO WAR

Three Nations Apprehensive Over Future Actions of Submarine —No Mistake to Date. - a Long Branch, N. J., Oct. B.—President Wilson and government officials here expressed deep concern tonight over the sinking of the four" British steamships off the American coast by a German submarine, hut up to a late hour no official word had been received indicating that international complications would follow. The government officials were plainly worried over the situation, and made efforts to get all information obtainable. The questions of administration officials centered arouid whether any Americans had been lost and whether the vessels were warned in accordance with international law. It was stated that no hasty action would be taken. Washington, Oct. B.—lt was the conclusion tonight of administration officials generally that so far there had been nothing in the operations of the German submarine which. Is contrary to international law or to the promises made to the United States by German? in connection with the latter’s submarine campaign. Apprehension was apparent not only in government circles but at the British and German embassies.

MAJOR HEALEY TELLS OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED

Writes Entertainingly On the Work Being Accomplished by Indiana Troops—Long For Home.* % Llano Grande, Tex., Oct. 5, 1916. Editor Republican: ~— It has been some- time since I last wrote a letter for publication. During periods of brief interval I have -started one or two letters which have not been completed and they have not co-ordinated in a way to justify later completion- We are living sort of hand to mouth here now, betwixt rumors that we are coming home and rumors that we are going to remain all winter. We haven’t the faintest idea. Traniing is being intensified and diversified and the Indiana troops are making much progress in military science. Recently maneuvers by regiments and brigades have been held “and my battalion held a prontinent place on the firing line in a hastily promulgated problem last week and I feet that our disposition on the firing line and for support and flanking protection met all the requirements of the problem. Today we had trench making, embodying the construction of gabions, fascines and hurdles. The instruction is required by a bulletin from, the district commander at Brownsville and each battalion went out this morning to const rue ta trench large enough for two squads. Tn ordinary soil this should be accomplished

LAST OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER TODAY

’Qtose Required to Do So Should Not Fail to Register Before Nine O’clock P. M. Today is the lost opportunity for Thbse who are required to register this year to do so, in order that they may vote at the-coming election. The -registration places wfil be open until 9p. m. today. Political parties throughout the state are sending out this warning and as a result it is expected that a heavy registration will take place throughout Indiana. “Safety First” is the cry of-all the parties. Technically those persons who have not moved out of —their voting precincts since the last election, and who registered, and voted in the general election of 1914, will not have to register again, but there are some discrepancies between the records of the registration and the records of the election, and lor that reason there is a possibility that many voters who believe they are properly registered are not listed. Because of the possibility of an error, it is strongly urged that every voter make a personal investigation by going to the polls in his voting precinct to ascertain the exact status of his enrollment. Those who didn’t register and vote two years ago, those who moved from the precinct in which they lived at the imie of the last election, and

ROAD ELECTION CARRIES IN UNION

Vote Is Almost Three To One In Favor of Building 24 Miles of Road in Obion Township. The stone- road election in Union -township, providing for the building of 24 miles of gravel road io Union township, was held Saturday and the taxpayers, by a vote of almost three to one, favored the road. The vote was as follows: ■ Yes No North Precinct ... .75 32 South Precinct % 37 Totals- -...171 69 Total vote —.240 Plurality 102 The election provides that there shali be twenty-four miles of gravel road improvement in Union township. The bonds for the road will be sold and the contract for same let some time this fall and work will be staffed as sOon as this is done. The voters of Union township are to be commended for their action in this matter, and the overwhelming majority in favor of highway improvement. The roads north of Rensselaer for several years have -been the worst in the county and a bugbear to all tourists as well as our own citizens of Jasper. At certain seasons of the year the route, including the 24 miles that is to be improved in Union, has been almost impassable and consequently many tourists chose other routes than ones passing through this Owing to the great increase of travel by the automobile route, the improvement of all bad roads is bound to come and Union township has taken the right step in this matter, and it is now up to other townships to follow their lead, if the reputation now enjoyed by Indiana for good roads is to be maintained.
