CHILD WELFARE PROGRESSING HERE

The physical examination of children under school age demanded by the government is progresing nicely in this county, which we hope to make one of the best in the state, as the interest displayed by any community in its children is always an indication of the intelligence of that community. The co-operation of the physicians which has been so generous is worthy of the highest appreciation of the entire community, for it is they upon whom_a large part of the work devolves. “Each afternoon from 1:30 until 3:30 o’clock in the north waiting room of the court house the work is being done. Already nearly two hundred children have been examined. Each Saturday afternoon after the hours of examinations, short talks will be given along different lines of child welfare and it is hoped by those having this work in charge, that parents will avail themselves this opportunity to work with the rest of the community in bettering the childhood of our county for, “Who loves a child loves not himself, but God: who delights a child labors with God in his worship of the world of hearts: ’ whoso helps a child brings the Knigdom of God; whoso saves a child from the fingers of evil sits in the seat with the builders of cities and the procurers of peace.”

SELECTMAN DID NOT REPORT

HARRISON LYTLE REFUSED TO GO TO FORT SHERMAN TODAY. Harrison Lytle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lytle, of Milroy township, was to have left here today with the selectmen for Chillicothe, Ohio. When he did not show up this morning, J. J. Montgomery, who has the authority to look after such matters for the government, went out to the Lytle home in Milroy township, and put young Lytle under arrest. He was brought to Rensselaer and taken by Mr. Montgomery to Indianapolis, leaving here on the 1:57 p. m. train. He will be turned over to the federal authorities and may be dealt with in a very severe manner. It is understood that this is the second time Lytle has failed to report for service when notified. He was to have gone from Illinois on April 29, but failed to report. It is understood that Lytle was encouraged by his parents not to report and that Mrs. Lytle threatened the officers who placed her son under arrest. The offense is a most grevious one and Uncle Sam is not in the habit of having orders disobeyed. It is possible that some punishment may be administered to the Lytles who having placed their son in this dangerous condition by the unpatriotic advice given him.

WAR SUMMARY.

The complete defeat of the Austrain offensive brings a new and brighter aspect to the situation on every part of the battle front. While almost daily General Foch is receiving from the headquarters of General Pershing reports of the arrival of fresh reserves from the 'United States, the German general staff not only recognizes that the Aus train arms have lost their strength but also find that the remainder of the fighting season, little aid to the western front in fresh reserves can be expected from their AustroHungarian allies. Had the Austrian army been able to overrun Lombardy and throw the Italians back upon a weak line, the German ■ leaders could have safely proceeded with a great western offensive. As a result of the last two day**’ fighting on the Italian front, however,* additional large units -of the Austrians are in danger of capture the fighting spirit of the troops facing the Austrians along the entire Italian front has been greatly stimulated, and the Austrians must of necessity hold on their front all of the fifty divisions picked for the assault against the mountain heights garrisoned by the British and Italians.

As yet the full import of the Austrain retreat is not known. Great importance to the fighting during the coming three months on the Italian front attaches to the number and caliber of guns taken by the victorious Italians. While there is slight reason to hope that the A’ trians had transported many of their guns across the Piave for the attacks against the Montello, it is possible that the cavalry units which have crossed the river have been able to force the invaders to abandon many siege guns. The loss of heavy guns is always a severe blow to any army, especisdly when the fighting field is in a mountainous region. If the Austrian army on the Piave has lost many of its field and siege guns, it will be necessary . for the Germans to make all haste in supplying new weapons. The fact that General Foch has approved of the plan for sending American soldiers to Italy, of itself tells the story of the present allied strength. While there is no reason to expect that a great force can be sent to Italy, the fact that a considerable number is to join a *** et * lines in the mountains indicates that General Foch is confident that he now has enough men to meet any German effort.

LEE SNODGRASS MEETS WITH ACCIDENT

Lee Snodgrass, one of the men selected to go today with drafted men, met with an accident yesterday. He was blowing stumps for J. J. Lawler on Dr. Haskell’s farm, when the accident happened. h He was preparing the dynamite cap ready to insert into dynamite and it exploded and lacerated first, second and third fingers of his right hand. He was brought into town and Dr. Hemphill dressed his hand. He will probably lose his second finger.

THIRTY-ONE ARE OFF FOR BERLIN

JASPER COUNTY SELECTMEN ENTRAIN FOR FORT SHERMAN. One of the largest crowds that have witnessed the departure of selectmen from this county was at the Monon station this Tuesday forenoon to see our fellows off on the first leg of their journey to the capital of‘ German, Berlin. As in the other group of selects this was a fine lot of men, all of whom are sure to make splendid, soldiers. Most of the relatives vho were at the depot were of good cheer and while there was sorrow in their hearts there was determination on written on their faces and all were impressed with the seriousness of the task that has been placed upon us to accomplish. If there is one who is indifferent or a slacker in this county the picture of these splendid men going forth to do and to dare should arouse them to the nobleness and excellent type of patriotism exemplified by the American selectmen. Pride should swell the heart and enlarge the soul of every parent whose noble son has gone to this, the noblest duty to which man has ever been called. Besides the twenty-nine men sent by the local board, two others from other boards left here today, making thirty-one to entrain at this station.

Every time I leaned over, sat down or got up from a chair, a sharp pain shot through my back and I almost had to cry out. I felt nervous and unstrung. My head ached and I was often so dizzy I came near falling. Spots seemed to come before by eyes and my kidneys acted irregularly. I used (two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they gave me wonderful relief.” , Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that Mrs. Morlan had.

FINE BODY OF LIBERTY GUARDS

YOUNG MEN OF WHEATFIELD HAVE THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES SOLDIERS. A number of Rensselaer people went to Wheatfield to assist in the training of ,the Liberty Guards of that patriotic town Monday evening. A number of others went to witness this work, among them being the following: Gertie Leopold, Eva Moore and Mrs. John Moore. To see this fine group of young manhood anxious to receive this military training, imbuedwith the spirit of real patriotism is a sight that makes our estimate of the American youth mount higher and higher. The training that this group of virile men are receiving is physically worth many time ithe efforts pat forth. From the standpoint of preparation for actual service it is of untold value. That there is an able bodied man under forty-five years of age who is not taking advantage of this training is a shame. The guards at Wheatfield are men who have real tasks to perform each day. They are doing their part on the farms and other important work in that part of the county. It would be mighty easy for them to say that they are too tired to drill after a strenuous days’ work. But not so with these men, they are up on their toes and enter into this drilling With the freshness of morning. , If Rensselaer and vicinity would get as large a portion of men in the guard as Wheatfield has, there would be at least five hundred men drilling instead of the limited number now memlbers of the guard here. It is mighty good news to send “over there,” that the hoys ‘‘over here” are in training for the conflict and are willing and ready to enter it at the first call. • Every man between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive should belong to and train with the Liberty Guards. The reasons are apparent. It is a splendid physical training. It inspired the guard’s patriotism and help to diffuse the spirit of patriotism in the communities. It assures those upon whom rests the burden of tile management of the war that a large body of men .are ready to enter the conflict and in order that their work may become effective at the earliest possible moment they are rigorously preparing themselves for war service. It is saying to the boys “over there” •that we are ready to step by your side and help in that great drive which will end in triumph at the capital of Germany, Berlin. F Join the Liberty Guards, attend the drills regularly, enter into its spirit and make your soul and your body strong for war duty should your country call.
