CO. M. SOLDIERS ARE COMING HOME

War Department Issued Order Thursday Which Releases 6,000 Men From Further Border Duty.

The members of Co. M of Rensselaer will be home for their Thanksgiving dinner in all probabilities. This was the surprising statement that was issued by the morning papers. 'Hie order was wholly unexpected as it was fully believed that they would be there for the rest of the winter and the fact that war maneuvers lasting three weeks were to start next month substantiated the general belief. The order came after the recommendation of General Pershing to the war department, who sent instructions to headquarters late Thursday evening ordering that 6,000 soldier boys be released in time that they might be home for Thanksgiving. Besides the Third Regiment of Indiana, the others to be released are as follows: The First South Carolina; Seventh New York; Third Wisconsin; Third Minnesota. The companies of the Third Indiana Regiment are is follows: Angola, Portland, Monticello, Valparaiso, Albion, South Bend, Kendallville, Auburn, Plymouth, Rensselaer, Elkhart and Warsaw. The first intimation that the Third Indiana would be home came from Lieut. Jerry B. Garland a few days a g°. Approximately 100,000 sbldiers will remain on the border when the five regiments released, with a total strength of 6,000, have been withdrawn. The regiments will start home as soon as transportation facilities will permit and will probably be at their state muster points on Thanksgiving.

Preparations have been made at Fort Benjamin Harrison to house the regiment in the barracks, cold weather making the use of tents impracticable, while it is held there before being mustered out. The checking of property counts, which is no little task, must be completed to the satisfaction of army authorities before the regiment is formally released from federal service. Two or three weeks time, or possibly longer, will be required for the mustering out process after the regiment reaches Indianapolis. The regiment will be returned to its original state in the national guard. The falling home of the Third Indiana, together with four infantry regiments of other states, is in continuation of the war “ department’s policy announced some time ago to gradually withdraw national guard regiments from the border as conditions permit. It was thought,by many that as soon as election was over that President Wilson would take some immediate action concerning the troops. In ail probability Jthe remaining troops on tjae border will be ordered home soon. iSince Company M left Rensselaer about five months ago they have had a great many adventures and learned a lot about soldiering. They left Rensselaer a bunch of misfits and when they return to their home town some time in December the contrast will be surprising. They are a rugged lot according to Captain Tuteur, and present a very soldierly appearance. Possibly one of the reasons that the Third Indiana is included in the list that is ordered home is the fact that they are among the best trained of all national guard troops on the border and this regiment has been praised time and again by the “higher ups.” Every man in Co. M has done his part in bringing this regiment close to perfection and they have withstood the hardships without a grumble and have gone to their tasks cheerfully. A tropical rainstorm greeted them when they arrived at Llano Grande and they were forced to clear away brush and mesquite in a lava of mud. The torrential rain continued for three days. Some of the companies, including M, were forced to live in shelter tents for some time, the state having failed to provide proper tentage. The tents, big enough for only two, gave but little protection against the elements and -it was surprising that more sickness was not reported among the troops. Since Fort Harrison can accommodate but a regiment at a time in.the limited number of barracks, and it would be impracticable to house thpm in tents in cold- weather, it is most certain to be later than Christmas before all of the Hoosier guardsmen are home. - '

Considering quality and price we do not believe you can get a better bargain than White Star, the guaranteed flour, at $2.40 per 4? lb. sack.— Rowlea & Parker, Phone 95. New fall line at goods are now in. Order that suit, today and be prepared for fall Also do dry cleaning and pressing.—John Werner.

RENSSELAER. INDIANA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17 1916.

NO RECOUNT OF VOTE ON CLERK THIS WEEK

Clerk-Elect Nichols Files Motion For Change of Judge—Outside Judge to Act.

When the petition for a recount of the vote on county clerk was called in court thid morning Mr. Nichols, by his attorney, W. H. Parkinson, asked for a change of judge to act on the petition. The petition was granted and Judge Hanley, from whom the change was asked, either this afternoon or tomorrow, will present Hie names of there outside attorneys from which to select a judge to hear the petition for a recount. Each side has the privilege of rejecting one of the three, and the remaining judge will act in the case. Each side has three days in which to reject their man, so it will probably be well toward the middle of next week before action is taken for a recount. J. H. Chapman is acting as attorney for Mr. Hershman.

Arrangements Completed For Musical Fantasy.

At a meeting of the Charity Board arrangements were completed for the presentation of the successful musical fantasy Fi-Fi of the Joy Shop, in the opera house on or about December 7th. The production, which is a well known and popular one, will be given under the management of John H. Rogers, of Ohio, who makes a specialty of high class amateur affairs. Mr. Rogers and his associates have a reputation throughout the country of many novel and successful presentations of amateur theatricals made under their direction. Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop is one of their best. It has been staged a great many times elsewhere and always with splendid success. Committees were formed, chaperones appointed, etc. ,and preparations for the coming event will soon begin in earnest. The participants will be drawn from the best musical and histrionical talent available, the entire cast and chorus being local thespians who for the most part have won previous laurels. The time of rehearsals will 'be announced later.

Walsh Hall of Notre Dame at College Sunday.

Next Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19, the St. Joe football squad will meet Walsh Hall of Notre Dame on the college gridiron. Walsh Hall has an excellent record this season, and, since St. Joe has not yet met defeat, a hard battle is expected. While the visitors have a very strong lineup, St. Joe will have its best men in the game, and with Bruin, Wellman and McLaughlin playing the backfield, hopes to carry away the honors. This will be the final game of the season for the local team. More games would have been played this fall had it been possible to arrange suitable dates, but as it is, the athletic association is well satisfied with the work of the team, the success of which it feels is due greatly to tlie efficient work of Coach Parker. That a fine spirit exists between the high school and St. Josepl’s is plainly evident. The students from the college have been k>f al supporters of the high school eleven, both in the matter of attendance and rooting, and the same can be said of the high school students in regard to St. Joe. It is hoped that a good crowd will be present next Sunday to see the final and, as it would seem, the best game of the season.

“What Did the Democrats Do With the Flags?”

Shortly after noon Thursday our telephone bell rang and a voice asked us: “What did the democrats do with the American flags today?” The voice was that of a leading Rensselaer citizen. We hardly knew what answer .o make to the above query. The voice went on -to explain that since the democrats were celebrating the victory of President Wilson, it seemed to them as if the American flag should have been displayed more promiscuously than it was. But a very, very few were in evidence. Although this showing of the flag on so small a scale yesterday was not an intentional oversight of the democrats, it would seem as if they should not forget a thing like this, and they can answer the question better than we can.

DEMOCRATS HAD BIG JOLLIFICATION

All Day Celebration Was Held Thursday; Bands, Ox-Roast, Bonfire, Speeches Were Features.

The democratic barbecue which was held all day Thursday passed off per schedule. The crowd was an orderly one throughout the day. The oxroast which was served shortly after the noon hour was advertised as the feature of the day and several hundreds filed through the Gayety airdome to be fed. The crowd was not as large at noon as it was thought it would be, but the people began arriving .early in the afternoon and continued throughout the rest of the day and at night the streets were packed. A parade was held at 7 o’clock with four or five autos and others on foot. The parade, however, did not come up to the expectations of the people. Hundreds of horns were passed out and added to the din of the evening. The Wolcott band was on hand thorughout the day to aid the local band in furnishing jnusic for the occasion and there was scarcely a moment when they could not be heard.

Hoosiers All Lose Their Vote On President.

A lot of Indiana voters will no doubt experience a distinct shock after they have perused this paragraph. In view of what has happened, so far as the presidency is concerned, we might as well have been residents of Patagonia and had no part in the campaign. Both Hoosier republicans and Hoosier democrats, every one of them, lost their presidential vote, and really had no choice in the election of a president. It happened in this way: The democrats voted for Mr. Wilson and the state went republican, republican presidential electors being chosen, who will cast the state vote for Hughes, so the democrats are out of it. Mr. Hughes will not have a sufficient number of votes in the electoral college and Wilson will be elected, so the republicans are also out of it. IPs fiftyfifty for we Hoosiers on this presidential stuff. We’re all in the same boat and we all lose.

Sensible Suggestion For Preservation of Park Land.

Kent] and Enterprise. A lady who sees more beauty in a wooded tract of land than in a continuation of oats and corn fields, laments the fact that the real beauty spots of Newton county, heretofore found along the Iroquois and Kankakee rivers, are fast being wiped off the map by the dredge and the axe, and suggests that a tract of some forty acres be secured on each of these rivers and preserved for park purposes. The lady's idea is for the county to buy these tracts and hold them perpetually for the benefit if the public. The suggestion is sound. The county could scarcely expend its money for a project more meritorous. When all our timber is gone and our rivers converted into unsightly ditches the people will awaken to the fact that the scenic beauty of Newton county is limited. In these days of automobiles a park on the Iroquois river and one on the Kankakee would >e convenient to all the people, and would bring increasing joys to the coming generations. The idea is in perfect harmony with the new movement for a greater opportunity for recreation and outdoor life.

Deutschland Slips To Sea Again; On Way Home.

The Deutschland, the German submarine which arrived in. New London on November Ist, slipped out of the harbor at an early hour this morning, bound for Bremen. She left her dock at the state pier at 1:30 o'clock and was towed down the harbor by two hugs. The Deutschland passed the United States cruiser Columbia. Several passing steamers and the Columbia turned their searchlights on the boat and blew their whistles. While the manifest of the Deutschland’s cargo has not been made public, it is estimated that its approximate value is over $2,000,000. The cargo consists largely of crude rubber, nickel, zinc and silver bars. She also carries several sacks of mail from the German embassy at Washington. Some of the mail was said to be for the German emperor.

Belgium Asks That United States Intervene.

An appeal for active intervention by the United States to stop the depredation of workingmen into Germany was presented to the state department by E. Havenith, the Belgian minister, Thursday. The Belgians, Mr. Havenith said, are practically being forced to fight against their own country, contrary to the laws of nations and humanity. The American government has already interested itself in this situation and Charge Grew, of the embassy at Berlin, has been instructed to discuss it personally with Chancellor von Bethmann.

Indiana G. O. P. Praised For Fine Organization

A study in organization is presented by the election returns from Ohio and Indiana. Republican campaign managers say it was organization that put Indiana in the republican column and a lack of organizatkat, indicative of gross carelessness or worse that kept Ohio out of the Hughes column. Bouquets for the managers of the Republican campaign in Indiana and brickbats for the managers of the republican campaign in Ohio are the order of the day. Here is the contrast: Indiana—Hughes carries the state, two republican U. S. senators and republican state officers from governor down are elected, and the republican representation in the lower branch of congress is quadrupled. Ohio—-Wilson carries the state by a large majority, a democratic senator, democratic governor and other democratic state officers are elected and the democratic representation in the lower branch of congress is largely increased. Organization explains it all. The state of Indiana was better organized for the republicans than any other state in the union. On the other hand, there was no other state in the union outside of the solid south that was more poorly organized for the republicans than Ohio. There is no doubt that the Ohio republican managers are “in Dutch” with the national managers of their party and if Hughes had been elected they would have gotten husks.
