LAD HIT BY AUTOMOBILE

TOURISTS HIT YOUNG MAN AND ATTEMPT TO GET AWAY. Tuesday afternoon about half past three o’clock, Elvin Snyder, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snyder started to his home on his bicycle from the Shafer garage and just as he turned the corner of Cornelia street to go north on McKinley avenue he was struck by a large automobile going south on McKinley avenue and pretty badly injured. The young man’s ankle was badly fractured and he had a large gash cut in his left leg, requiring that ten stitches be taken to sew it up. Young Snyder had just burned himself pretty badly at the garage and had started for his home to have the bum dressed. His home is in the northeast part of town. He claims to have been on the right side of the road and that the party driving the automobile was entirely to blame. The automobile belonged to C. E. Carr, of Toledo, Ohio, and besides Mr. Carr there was another man and lady in the car. After hitting the bicycle the car stopped and picked the boy up and took him to the hospital. They did not give their'names there nor did they offer to pay any of the expenses necessary to take care of young Snyder. After remaining about an hour to have some repairs done on their automobile the party left town. While here A. E. Shafer, of the Main garage, had taken the number of the machine and the matter was taken up with Sheriff McColly, who had the parties arrested in Lafayette, where they left SSO to pay for the bicycle and other expenses. No release was signed for this payment and they will undoubtedly be required to pay an amount considerably more than the fifty dollars.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1917.

WILL BE A QUIET ELECTION

LITTLE INTEREST AROUSED IN ELECTION TO BE HELD . NOVEMBER 6. From present indications the city election to be held in Rensselaer on November 6 will he an \ extremely quiet affair. City Sections here as a rule stir up but little enthusiasm, but the one this year will be even more pronounced in this respect. A the war has dimmed so many other events, it will cast its shadow over local elections and the vote east next month no doubt will be a very light one. The Republicans will-have a full ticket in the field, headed by Mayor Spitler. Charles Morlan -and C. M. Sands will be candidates for election as clerk and treasurer, respectively. For councilmen, H. R. Wood, F. W. Tobias and Rex D. Warner are candidates for re-election. Conrad Kellner will be a candidate for councilman at large and Fred Waymire for councilman of the Third ward. F. G. Kresler and Frank King, present cquncilmen, are not candidates for re-election. The democrats will not have a full ticket. No candidate for mayor, clerk, treasurer or councilman in the Second ward will appear on the democratic ballot. Cleve Eger is a candidate for councilman of the First ward and James Snedeker in the Third. For candidates for councilmen at large the democratic party will be represented by Nathaniel Scott and Edward Herath. See Chas. Pefley for trees, and shrubs of all kinds. Guarantee stock to grow or replace free of charge. For spring delivery. Latest report from Dr. Honan is that he is getting better .and may be able to come to this city in the near future.

HELPING TO WIN THE WAR

ADVICE TO AMERICANS SIX YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER. ’ (Prepared for the Indiana State Council of Defense, by George Ade.) Can a mere child be of service to his or her country while we are trying to make the kaiser behave? Undoubtedly. How? By observing the conduct of weekkneed, hysterical and complaining adults and then being just as different from them as possible. This war is neither a joke nor a protracted funeral. You will notice that some of the older people refuse to accept it as a fact, while others move about in a blue funk, exclaiming, between sobs, that the U. S. A. is going to the bowwows. Let the very young children set their elders a good example by remaining calm but determined. If you pick up the morning paper and read that the U-boats bagged 17 ships instead of the customary 15, and the Canadians captured only one line of trenches instead of two, do not shake your head and declare that the Germans never can be licked. Set a good example to your fathers and mothers and uncles and aunts by renewing your faith daily in spite of an occasional setback.

Quote to them the words of Abraham Lincoln: “Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty.” You might remind your grown-up relatives that all during the civil war the northern states harbored a good many well-meaning people who went about moaning that the union never could be preserved and we had better accept peace at any price. These invertebrates (an invertebrate, children, is a creature with a string of marconi where the backbone should be) —these spineless ones were willing to let certain states secede. The blacks were to remain in slavery. Our flag was to be lowered. Anything to avdid a fight to a finish. Even after the battle of Gettysburg, when the fortunes of war began to favor the north, just as they are now favoring the allies, every community had to put up with a few of the whiners and fault-finders who belittled each victory and magnified each reverse. Your grandfather can tell you about these peace lovers who helped to prolong the war by failing to give unitd and loyal support to the soldiers at the front. If it should happen that grandfather was one of these “peace at any price” advocates, doubtless he will change the subject and talk about something else. Even if you are less than six years of age, surely you can understand that the issues involved in this dreadful war must be settled and settled right before the world may for abiding peace. Therefore, if any one asks you what you think about the war, reply as follows: “President Wilson was right when he said that the world must be made safe for democracy. The American people have no desire to destroy Germany or prevent it from regaining commercial importance. They Want Gremany to restore the stolen property and go home in a chastened mood. They want to jam the knowledge into every close cropped Prussian head that just because a man owns a high-priced automatic gun and has a lot of ammunition and a college education, he has no right to go out and shoot up his neighbors. The American people are hoping to make it clear to the Kaiser and the crown prince arid the various squarejawed Hindenburgs that it is highly improper to form a partnership with God for purposes of murder, and then treat God as a silent partner. As to the final outcome, the battle of the Marne was the beginning of the end. For 200 years all the big events of history have marked an irresistable advance toward the establishment of democracy. When the Germans failed in their mad rush of 1914 it meant that an all-wise Providence and the laws of evolution were not to be thwarted by a military despot with a bristling mustache. Germany can not win, and, therefore, Germany must lose. The end of bloodshed and sacrifice and wide-spread terror will come as soon as the United States of America begjns to strike aggressive blows. The more men we send to the front, the fewer we will lose. Our greatest enemy at present is indecision. Our strongest ally is speed. Our most needed watchword is faith. We are going to end the war and then sit at the council table to repress greed and curb injustice.” * Of course, the foregoing will sound rather hifaluting to come from a six-year-old child, out it will be the truth, and the truth is needed in large doses at present, especially by people more than six years of age. That will be all for today, children. You may run along and play. -

WAR SUMMARY.

With terrific fighting still in progress in Flanders the full extent of the allied gains in the latest British and f rench drive cannot be accurately determined. Latest reports put the advance at two miles, on a front of approximately wtenty miles. The British captured the important village of Poelcappelle, 4 miles from Passchendael, the key to the sector of the ridge for which Marshal Haig is battling. The French, on the British left wing, stormed and captured the villages of St. Jean de Mangelars and Valdhoek, with numerous blockhouses. Their advance is estimated at 1% miles on a front of more than a mile and a half before the Houtholst wood.

The British report 1,000 German prisoners counted, with a stream of captives continuing to pass back of the lines. The French have captured 300 Germans, together with much material. On the eastern front artillery firing of extreme intensity in the region of Riga and around Dvinsk, indicate the Russians are about to make an advance. Heavy fusillades are also reported on the southwestern and Roumanian fronts. Russian submarine and torpedo boat activities are also reported in the Black Sea.

WEATHER Rain tonight and probably Thursday; colder tonight north portion.

NEW YORK WINS 2-0

GIANTS GRAB TWO RUN LEAD IN 4TH—RUSSELL OPPOSES SALLEE. Forty thousand fans taxed the Polo Ground stadium to capacity this Wednesday afternoon to see the third clash of the Sox and Giants for the world’s title. Cool and threatening weather failed to keep the crowd away. Rowland chose Russell for slab duty and McGraw sent back Harry Sallee to check the Hose. Rowland’s guess was a poor one and at press time the portsider was being bumped hard. Williams was in the bull pen wanning up to relieve the Texan. Reports of the game to press time follow: IST INNlNG—Chicago collected one blow in their half, but were retired quickly. Russell had things his own way when New York went to bat. 2ND INNING—The Sox were retired in order. New York threatened with two hits. Weaver’s boot put Russell in danger, but he emerged unscathed. 3RD INNING—SaIIee was nicked for one hit by Chicago, but the Sox failed to score. New York was easy in their half. 4TH INNING—The Sox were helpless before Sallee. Russell weakened and the New Yorkers started a rally with basehits, which netted them two runs. 51H INNlNG—Neither side threatened in the fifth. 6TH INNING—SaIIee seemed to be getting better and the Sox were having difficulty in planting the ball in unprotected spots. No reports on New York half. The score of the game by innings follows: 12345678 9—R H E Chicgo 00000000 o—o 5 1 N. Y. 0 0 0 2 00 0 0 x—2 8 2 Batteries: Chicago, Russell and Schalk.
