Remington Press. Rensselaer doesn’t like it because the big United States trucks don’t come weir way, and have posted the route from Thayer through that town in the hopes of switching them that way. They claim the distance is shorter than via. Goodland. Nothing doing. The road from Morocco to Remington, via. Rensselaer is over a mile longer than it is from Morocco to Remington via. Goodland, by actual speedometer test made all in one day. And of they were to go by Rensselaer through Mt. Ayr, as is asserted they would, they necessarily have to come by Morocco too. The garages and hotels of Rensselaer fear they are being cheated out of something.

ENTIRE DEFENSE PROGRAM COVERED

State-Wide War Conference Brings Together Big Gathering of Workers. MUCH MORE MUST BE DONE Various Lines of Endeavor Set Forth By Authorities Who Come With Official Messages. “Pray extend my warmest greetings to the conference and express to them my confidence that it will redound to the benefit of the whole nation. — Woodrow Wilson.” Tbe above telegram, although received too late to be read to either of the mass meetings during the Indiana state-wide conference, December 13 and 14, came to Will H. Hays as an indication of the president’s interest in the great gathering of war workers in the Hoosier capital. Representatives of the federal administration, including Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president of the United States, George Creel, chairman of the Committee on Public Information, Arthur E. Bestor, Dr. J. A. B. Sherer, and others shared with Governor James P. Goodrich and the members of the Indiana State Council, the satisfaction that attended a successful two days* meeting. The Indiana conference was the first in the country. Those in charge of the sectional activities of the Council of National Defense with one accord declared the conference had served as a model for all other states and the general plan will be recommended to the councils of the nation. The conference opened with a mass meeting in Tomlinson hall, following a patriotic concert by the Great Lakes Naval Training Station Marine band, of 300 pieces, directed by John Philip Sousa, himself, the greatest bandmaster of the world. This feature served to arouse a deep sense of patriotism that was sustained until the close of the conference late Friday night. Every county council in Indiana was represented, some by more than forty active war workers and all of them returned with a fuller knowledge of what is expected of them by the federal government, and a broader conception Of the duties of the civilian population in the struggle against the central empires of Europe, for the freedom of the world.

OPENING MASS MEETING.

Congressman Medlll McCormick and Bishop Williams from Battle Front. Governor James P. Goodrich presided at the opening session of the conference, a mass meeting in Tomlinson Hall at 2 o’clock, Thursday afternoon. Governor Goodrich stated the purpose of the conference and called upon the Reverend John Cavanaugh, President of Notre Dame University, to invoke Divine blessing. Medill McCormick, congressman-at-large of Illinois, who has just returned from the French battle front, spoke at the opening mass meeting in part as follows: ■ r ' “There is a great deal which you must want to know that I cannot tell you.: There are many things important, of intense human interest of which I am ignorant, because I traveled from capital! to capital, and from front to front: because I went from statesman to General and from General to statesman with one pre-occupatlon: ‘What must we do to win; this war In the shortest possible time., and with the smallest possible loss of. life?’ There are not many men. even In Europe, I found, who have thought of this, to me the whole problem, in terms at once general and definite. But among the few most responsible statesmen, among the few Generals of real distinction, which the war has produced, I found a general agreement that CANNON AND COALITION are essential to success; that time is the essence of victory. “Heavy guns in this war are what the steam shovel was to Panama. When the French company under DeLesseps sought to pierce the Isthmus with picks, shovels and petty machinery, men died by thousands beside the scratched tropic hillsides. So died the men who fought at Verdun add on the Marne, because they had no weapons equal to the task before them. Now we know advances can be made and victories can be won with little toss, when the armies advancing have their ways biased for them by the fire of thousands of cannon.

“Lloyd George has spoken of the cavalry of the air. I would not underestimate the significance of air craft, but they are only the servants of the great guns, guns, which are the masters of modern battles, and the Germans are unable to summon reserves to hold the French or the British. As, yet they have been able to bring from the front only enough to drive into Italy. They prefer-' red that use of their forces to an effort to atop the resistless advance of the British and French armies. “The tide has turned. By ever so little, perhaps, but the tide has turned. There may be back washes, when the Germans hrtng still more divisions and more guns from the Russian front when they add to their batteries In France and Flanders, the cannon which they bought from Russian traitors during the period of fraternlsation. The tide has turned, it rests with us to see that It does not ebb again, but flows resistlessly to the full flood of victory. “Men we must send, but still more urgently must we send suns, weapons to our frjends, that they may defend them selves; that they may win victories, white they await our ‘coming. . - •a - ■ ’

N. C. Shafer and Alton Padgitt went to Chicago today. Mrs. Stella Ketchum, Mrs. Alta Parkinson and Mrs. Rice Porter went to Chicago this morning. Miss Lucille Phillips, teacher in our public schools, left for her home in Monticello. George Maines went to Hopkins Park, 111. today to visit his brother, Walter Maines. i J. W. Iliff, of Burlington, Wyoming, who moved to the west fifteen years ago is visiting his mother, Mrs. O. K. Ritchey, and other relatives. American soldiers in France will not be permitted to vote in the coming elections, the war department has definitely decided. Men in training in this country will be allowed to vote if their states wish to collect the ballots. Forty thousand pounds of binder twine is being turned out every 24 hours by the binder twine plant at the Indiana state prison in Michigan City. Warden E. J. Fogarty made this announcement in a statement to the United Press outlining the work of the plant. To meet old friends in various corners of the globe is not so unusual —but to meet an old locomotive “over there” that he used to fire “over here” is the experience of James Gorman, former Northwestern engineer. Gorman writes a Milwaukee friend that he is running “the same old teakettle” behind the, lines in France.

Indiana’s state highway commission law, passed at the last session of the legislature, and which was regarded as one of the most important measures enacted, was held unconstitutional at Noblesville yesterday by Judge Cloe, of the Hamilton county circuit court.

Mr. Leopold who was one of the pioneer merchants of Rensselaer gave the writer some facts concerning the early days and stated that the first time he was ever in. Brook there was a saw mill and store here, and at that time he was trying to buy the farmers’ wool clip. He lived in Rensselaer when there was no railroad and goods were hauled from Bradford, now called Monon, and that he contrbiuted to the building of the first railroad through Rensselaer which was a narrow guage line. He is 'hale and hearty at the ripe age of 84 and enjoys all the present day conveniences and has no desire to return to the “good old days.”—Brook Reporter. PLANTS.
