SATURDAY’S DRAFTEES NOW AT CAMP TAYLOR

Camp Taylor, Ky., April 28.—We arrived in Louisville about 8:30 last night and • were assigned quarters about eleven o'clock. EVeryone was in good spirits and in pretty good' condition. One man went to the hospital. We made our beds ourselvGS. This morning we were given a physical examination and I suppose we will know the result soon. About noon we were given our first vaccination. Hundreds of men filed through and the treatment was dispatched with alacrity. The fellows were keeling over like flies—myself among them. We were sick for only a few moments. The next treatment comes in about ten days. We will be under quarantine for about three weeks, after which we will be assigned to the division of the army to which we are best, suited. So you see we will not remain in a group. Presume we will be issued clothing this afternoon or in the morning. Everything here is being done repidly and I imagine our stay here will be a short time only. A train load of fellows who had been here for but four weeks left today. The food is good—no delicacies—but dt is wholesome. One does not get much chance to get homesick. We have a pretty good bunch of fellows. They seem lost, however, and stick to Dean and I like leeches. This is a pretty large place—about 40,000—a1l soldiers. Later: W« were just given our clothing and are now wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam. Will write more when I feel better. HOWARD B. ! CLARK, 27 Co., 7 ade, Camp Taylor, Ky.

MRS. DELANEY MARTIN PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY

Word has been received here, of the sudden death of Mrs. DeLaney Martin at her late home in Cincinnati, Ohio, Saturday, April 27. The deceased had just returned from an afternoon party and had gone into the bath room. It is supposed that she received an electric shock in turning on the light and fell in some peculiar way causing her death. Mrs. Caddie Martin, mother of Mr. Martin saw her lying upon the floor and being unable to arouse her telephoned for a physician, but the woman was dead before the doctor arrived. The funeral services were held today. Relatives here were’’not able to attend.

They did apt pass! Simultaneous assaults by Von Hindenburg’e massed legions from north to southwest of Ypres on a IS-mile front have smashed against 4 solid wall of allied flesh and blood —and rolled back shattered. Latest official dispatches from allied headquarter* describe the German losses as severe and the British line as intact. Where the enemy succeeded in pentrating positions held by the French, they were almost immediately hurled out by counter attacks. Equal lack of success attended German efforts to advance on the Belgian front. Before Amiens, where American troops are holding an important sector, only artillery activity is reported. Germany’s latest claim in the Flanders fighting is that 7,100 prisoners have been taken since the storming of Mount Kemmel.

TUESDAY HOSPITAL NOTES.

CASTO PLEADS GUILTY.

In the case of the State of Indiana vs. Clint Casto venued here from White county. There were a large number of lawyers and witnesses in court here Monday. Judge Minton of the Anti-Saloon league was here also. The case promised to be a legal battle, but before the matter of selecting a jury the lawyers for the defense had their client plead guilty to bootlegging. The ctfurt imposed a fine of $75.00 and also a thirty days jail sentence. The jaid sentence was suspended. It is understood that the defendant will have a pretty bag expense bill to pay. His legal talent it is understood will cost him about SSOOIOO. The good people at Reynolds were very indignant at the conduct of Casto and were here in force to assist in his prosecution. Among those here was Reed McCoy now of Reynolds, but formerly of McCoysburg-

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1918.

SERMON BY REV. FATHER DANIEL

At the G. A. R. Mass at St. Augustine’s church, Sunday, April 28, 1918. “Greater love- than this, no man hath than that he give his life for his friends.” How pleasing to God; man bowing before the alter of God in patriotic service, '"commemorating the lives and deeds of these heroic men who were ready to lay' down their lives for the country. This public act of worship does more honor to our country than the greatest achievement of art, science, literature or commerce and is a more certain pledge of our country’s future happiness than vast standing armies and embattled fleets. For it proclaims the fact that a large portion of the people still recognize that above the power of armies and navies, that above the statesman’s skill and merchants’s zeal, there reigns a God of Hosts, and in His hands are the peace, prosperity and destiny of nations He has been present in every crisis of our country’s life. To Him have we turned for aid in the dark hours of war and trial, and to Him America raised her voice in a universal prayer of gratitude when He bJes:ed our armies with victory. To Him do we owe the verdant fertility of our plains, the vast stretch of forests, the clemency of our seasons, the hidden treasures of our lulls.

To Him do we owe the spirit of peace, calmness, fair play and religious reverence that mark the American character. To Him do we turn today, veteran soldiers of the civil war, in behalf of your departed comrades. The!y stepped forth with you in that hour when our country called for valiant sons .to shield her honor. Some in the rosy bloom of youth; others in prime buoyant manhood; they turned their backs on all that man holds dearest, home, loved ones and future prospects, and marched into the dim uncertainty of war, ready to lay down their lives for their country: They now rest after the struggle, their eyes'are closed in death, the earth enfolds them in her bosom, and their sturdy bodies slumber in the grave. Next month a grateful nation will go out to where they sleep and honor their remains, and over their silent bosoms lay the victor’s wreath and the darling flag they followed in the fight. But today we are doing still more for them. Here at the Alter of God from whence the loftiest and 'the most powerful prayer on earth ascends we are pleading for their souls, their great undaunted spirits that have risen from thedr ashes to live on in Eternity; » May the God of nations, whose instruments they were in the destiny of our country; may He, the Son of God from whom learned the supreme test of patriotism :“Greater love than this no man hath, that he iay down his life for those he loves.” May He who died on the cross and lifts His sacrificial hands at -this alter today; may He wash away their errors and transgressions, purify their souls from stain and requite the life they laid down for others with that greater life of heavenly bliss that has no end.

This is our message to them today, but they, too have a message for us. Down the years, from the example of their lives, it comes to us, that we love.,the land they fought for, that we too, bring to the-service of our country in peace and war, a devotion that knows no bounds, neither health, nor wealth, nor strength nor even life. " The heart that feels not the throb of the life of the country is perverted and denegerate. The true American loves his country with a love not only warm and ardent, not only selfsacrificing and heroic, hut with natural and divine, a love that is religious, sacred, superWe love America not only because her fields are fair and fertile and her mighty hills with boundless treasures stored, but because her gorgeous beauty and her countless wealth is the lavish gift of a tender provident Father. We love her Constitutions not only because they guarantee peace, justice and equal rights to all, but because they are based upon His law and were handed down by Him in this later age to cheer, to free, to save and to uplift the downtrodden and oppressed of the land.

We love her rulers and bow to their laws not only because they are wise, calm, just and true, but because they hold the authority to rule from the Almighty Father. Loyalty to them is loyalty to God. Respect for them is respect for God. Faith, faith in God alone will make us patriots in outward word iand work, and in innermost thoughts and affection of our souls. There never wa3 morality, there never was disinterested loyalty, there never was patriotism without faith in God and reverence for His law. The Creator of mankind has given His children the unalterable principles which make for peace, prosperity and happiness of the individual and the race. All that is good and lasting in our institutions is based upon these principles; whatever in our national life is opposed to them is wrong and must perish. Insane anarchy, that lifts its head against all law and order, harsh belated bigotry, thriving on fraternal hate, proud bloated greed, senous divorce, destroying homes and manhood, all these are bound to pensh, though apparently triumphant for a time, because they are in deadly conflict with the principles of justice,

JASPER COUNTY INCREASES LEAD

Jasper county still holds the banner in the over subscription of the third liberty loan. Her minimum quota was placed at $170,000. $400,000 has been subscribed. This is 233 per cent of the minimum. This is far above any other county in the state. Lake county is, second. Her minimum apportionment was $3,000,000 and she has subscribed s6 r 556,950 or 186 per cent. All of the ninety-two counties of the state have now reached their minimum quota except St. Joseph, La Grange, Steuben, Cass, Wabash, Tippecanoe, Climb on, Blackford, Jay, Marion and Vigo.

TO BE HELD AT AIRDOME

The big Knights of Columbus war meeting will be held at the Airdome on Thursday evening. Everyone should, make it a point to be present at this meeting and hear Dean Stanley Coulter, of Purdue, who will be the leading speaker of the evening. Besides Dean Coulter, Mr. August F. Berghoff, one of the Knights of Columbus secretaries from Camp Taylor, Ky., will speak. His address in this city will largely be a message from the boys at Camp Taylor to the folks at home. It is possible that the Rensselaer band which is now organizing will furnish music for the occasion.

It will make you young again to hear old sweet songs tonight at “The Rag-Carpet Bee.” It’s for a good cause—our liberty bond.

purity and liberty that are as eternal as Cod and can never change or die. Let us bring this light of God’s law to guide us in private, public and in political life.. Love God and keep His law. He best loves his country who best loves his God. He best serves his country who best serves his God. Well for us beloved Veterans of the Civil War and congregated faithful if in these days of our dear country's new hour of trial and war when a most powerful enemy is striving to undo the work you so successfully accomplished through the blood of your comrades and your own heroic deeds, we take our refuge to au all provident God and abide by His holy laws. Our safest shield shall ever be, and our brighest hope of victory, that if God is with us no foe can prevail against us.

ILLNESS CAUSES M'ILROY TO WITHDRAW FROM RACE

i f... i■. * Hammond Times. Frank B. Mcllroy, president of the Mcllroy Belting & Hose Co., of Hammond, has been compelled, partly by reason of poor health, to withdraw from the race for Joint senator at the republican primaries.

Word comes from Biloxi, Miss., where Mr. Mcllroy has been sojourning since a serious bronchial attack last winter made it necessary for him to go south and seek a less rigorous climate that his physician has cautioned him against the uncertain weather he would experience on a campaigning trip now. Mr. Mcllroy’s other reason for declining to stand for the joint senatorship is that be prefers to represent Lake county exclusively in the senate instead of the four joint counties. All hds interests are in Lake and two years hence he will seek the nomination for Lake county senator alone. Friends of the Hammond manufacturer regret his determination to withdraw from the race for they figure that he would be just as valuable an asset to the senate as he is to Hammond where he has .been located for ten yean. He has a magnificent plant in Hammond and only recently purchased a block of land between Sohl and the L H. Belt next to his plant and is now organizing a corporation to erect buildings and manufacture a line of automobile accessories. This new industry will pmploy a large number of bands.
