JACKIES’ BAND WILL INVADE CITY TOMORROW EVENING

The Famous Jackies’ Band, now touring Indiana, and which will appear in Rensselaer on the 19th day April is made up wholly of boys. Ed. Wuensch, of the bond department of the Fletcher American Bank, is the advance agent for the Jackies band on its two weeks' trip throughout Indiana. Mr. Weunsch travels' from tiwo to three days ahead of the band and checks up on the programs for the ban d’s entertainment at each of the places where It gives a concert in co-operation with the Liberty loam county chairman and the Liberty loan publicity chairman in each county. Mr. Wuensch arranges for proper and plentiful food, lodging and public entertainment for the band members. ' ’ . Accompanimg the band is a crack drill squad wbicn gives an exhibition of marine maneuvers at each appearance of the band. These men, fully equipped with rifles and other accountenment are in charge of Coxswain A. L. Anderson. The member of the drill squad include George Raoch, C, Y. Wilson, A. B. Flow, L. A. Robinson, J. Akers, C. A. -McGaughey and D. C. Wilson. Jesse E. Eschbach, head of the speakers’ bureau for the third liberty loan in Indiana, Who has been in charge of the routing of the Jackies band, throughout Indiana, after receiving reports of the early days of the band’s progress In the state said that he hdd never scheduled an attraction in Indiana that had appealed in a more genuine way. Mr. Eschbach in the last ten years has been in charge of many speakers bureaus and when he puts his “O.

ENEMY BATTLES FOR YPRES ZONE

GERMANS IN DESPERATE EFFORT TO WIDEN THEIR LINES. Washington, April 17. —For the moment the German drive ■ at , the British line has localized on the sector running from Bailleul around to the eastward of Ypres and military men here are watching with eager interest the British counter attacks on this narrow front, where further enemy successes probably would mean the evacuation of a large stretch of territory. While the British official statement that the- lines east .of Ypres had been withdrawn and readjusted on a new front, and did not give the position _ of the new line, it is known that the general trend of the British lines on this flank of the great battle now is represented by almost a right .angle. Troops which faced due east only a week ago are now fighting on front that expends in a general east and west direction and they are facing south. From the lines to the east of Ypres, the British have been swung back on a twelve mile front with the Ypres positions as the hinge of the movement. That hinge now forms a broad salient into the German lines which they are trying to flatten out. Should the German effort fail, it is believed here the British will be left in a strong strategic position. By a counter attack from Ypres they might reconquer all the ground lost in this northern extension of the battle front.

The desperate nature of the attacks aimed at the capture of Ypres indicates the belief of the German that their position will oe untenable unless they can widen it in that direction. Press dispatches noted today the growing fury of bombardment along the whole line. No explanation of the purpose of the gunfire was made. It was regarded here, however, as possibly significant. The allied commander in chief General Foch may have ordered the bombardment preliminary to a counter stroke. Its extent would make the actual front on which he proposed to launch his effort. There was little effort to disguise the fact that the Ypres situation is viewed with apprehension. The fact that a readjustment of the British lines to the east was made necessary was regarded as proof that the position had been shaken under the weight of the German attack.

ENROLLMENT BEGINS FRIDAY

HOOSIER, WOMEN TO BEGIN REGISTERING FOR WAR SERVICE FRIDAY. I Many other states have already registered their women for war service and it is confidently expected that this April drive will enroll more than 50,000 Hoosier women who feel their responsibility in this war and who welcome the opportunity to use their strength in support of the men who are fighting for their safety. In some places we hear the statement that the state expects to draft fpr service the women who have registered. That is absurd and nothing of the sort is comtemplated. The purpose of the registration is to get the names of women available for special lines of work and make it possible for these women to serve voluntarily where they are best fitte.d. The mother and home-maker with her hands full of household Cares, will register and be classified with the other patriotic women, but will not in any case be called on to lay down her fundamental and proper duties in order to take on purely war tasks. She will be credited with such Red Cross work as she is able' to do in addition to her household business, but will not 'be expected to perform* war tasks that other women differently placed should do. She should register, however, that the government may know that she is a patriot on the house job running- her household with a loyal observance of wartime rules and requirements. Indiana women hope" to make a record and the Jasper county women expect to do their full share in keeping up to the’ standard of 100 per cent patriotism which has so far marked every effort in the county. Be sure to register!

13 LIBERTY. LOAN FLAGS SENT TO JAMES H. CHAPMAN

James H. Chapman, chairman of the third Liberty Loan in Jasper county, has received thirteen Liberty uoan flags from the state headquarters, which are to be distributed among the townships of the county. Each township receiving one of these flags must have subscribed its full allotment for this loan. It is probable that each township will receive one, although in one or two cases there is still'some doubt. The flags will be given to the chairmen of the various townships, who will see to it that they are displayed in a prominent place. The flags are about four feet by two in dimension and contain three bars, which show that the owner has subscribed a full share to each of the loans.

GERMAN BULLETS NO MATCH FOR THIS AIRMAN ON FOOT

Frank L. Baylies, of New Bedford, Mass., a member of the “Sork” escadrille, to which the famous Capt. Gunemeyer belonged, made a thrilling escapte on foot from the Germans/* who* vyere , pursuing him across No Man's Land, where he was. obliged to come down after an aerial combat. Baylies’ machine landed about 500 yards from the German trenches. The enemy, who had been watching his descent, began pepnermg his machine with bullets. Baylies ■ leaped from the plane and made all speed for the French lines. The Germans left their trenches in pursuit, keeping up a. hot fire with rifles and machine guns. Chasseurs from the French line opened Are on the Germans, killing one and driving the rest back to their trenches.

He wears the French war cross with four palms and the military medal. When Baylies offered himself for enlistment in the United States he was rejected because of defective vision.
