CALL RECEIVED FOR SEVENTY MEN

GOVERNMENT ASKS LOCAL BOARD TO GET THIS NUMBER READY FOR WAR SERVICE. The local selective board received orders today to have seventy men ready from class one to go into training at Louisville, Ky. While no date is named it is possible that these men will leave here about July 22. There are only thirty-five men left in Class 1 and therefore a number of men in the other classes will have their names put in this class.

Two important allied victories have been achieved on the west front. The British gained one mile on a three and one-half mile front between Bailleul and Bethune at the eastern end of the forest of Nieppe. They captured 350 prisoners and twenty-eight machine guns. Southwest of Sbissons the French advanced almost a mile on a four and one-half mile front from a point south of Amblemy to east of Montogobert. They captured the heights .to the northwest of Cutry and certain hills south of the village of St. Pierre Aigle. Thu attack was the culmination of several recent local operations, in which more than a thousand Germans have been taken prisoner.

A third notable success was scored by the Australians, who stormed and captured important u posts near Merris, to the north of where the British advance ,was made. The significance of these developments lies not in the immediate results, but in the .effect which may be noticed on the offensive which it is expected the Germans soon will undertake. The French and British lines were notably weak at both points where advances have just been reported. This was particularly true in the case of the British. Hazebrouk whose loss would have entailed the evacuation of Ypres, and consequetnly would have imperiled the channel ports, was menaced by the German line between Mailleul and Bethune. The English had insufficient room in which to maneuver either for offense or defense. By their sharp and victorious blow they have removed this danger. Three villages—L’Epinette, Vert erue and La Becue—fell into their hands. On the Asiago plateau in Italy the British made an important, though small, advance.

The funeral of Mrs. John Dilts will be held at the Presbyterian church Sunday . afternoon at 3:00' o’clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. J. Budman Fleming and interment will be in Weston cemetery.

WAR SUMMARY.

FUNERAL NOTICE.

RENSSELAER. INDIANA, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1918.

DRY LAW HELD VALID

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS ACT OF LAST LEGISLATUREFOUR TO ONE. Indiana’s prohibition law, enacted by the Legislature of 1917 and effective since April 3, 1918, was unheld by the State Supreme Court yesterday. Four justices concurred in the decision, Justice John W. Spencer, of Evansville, dissented. The majority declared "the law a proper exercise of the state’s police power. Counsel for contesting breweries and saloon keepers intimated in tihe afternoon that a petition for rehearing may ibe filed, end, failing of that, the liquor interests may try to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. The Rev. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana, expressed gratification over the outcome, but warned the people of the state that unless they are watchful the wet interests may elect a “wet” Legislature and overthrow the law.

Justice Howard L. Townsend wrote the opinion which was incurred in by Justice Lawson M. Harvey and Moses B. Lairy. Chief Justice David A. Myers concurred tin the Conclusion reached. “The case may be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States,” said Charles E. Cox, farmer justice. of the Supreme Court, who was one of the counsel for the defense, “on account of the Federal constitution points involved. There is ample'basis for Federal consideration in the provision of the United States constitution relating to impairment of contractual obligation by states.” The regulation of the lipuor traffic is clearly within the police power of the state no one denies, according to the opinion. It then reasons that when this is admitted there must follow the power to takg such steps as are reasonable suitable to carry out this purpose. The opinion said also that there is no difference in constitutional principle between the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage and the prohibition of the manufacture in order to stop the sale. As to the Beebe case, wherein the Supreme Court once held that there is no power under the state constitution to prohibit the manufacture of intoxicating liquor and so was largely used as an argument by the wets, the opinion held that it could not be determined on what principle the court acted at that time. It is pointed out that the question stood undecided for three years and then the law was pronounced void “without assigning any reasons as to whether it was considered void under the state or Federal constitution.” That law in some of its particulars would have been void that time under the Federal constitution, the opinion held, but the court points out that since that time Federal acts changing then existent conditions have been enacted. The opinion held, furthermore, that the early act may have been declared vodd because it provided that the state should have a monopoly in the traffic and then showed that since that time also public monopoly of intoxicants has been justified of the ground that the nature of the traffic warrants its entire prohibition. The rule of stare decisis, invoked by the wets in their presentation of the case, was held as of doubtful existence as a sound principle. It was held to have no application, once its existence is assumed, to police power because there can be no property rights which are not subject to police conrtol. The court concludes that the principle of stare decisis could not chain the court to an erroneous decision.

RANTOUL WILL CELEBRATE.

DORRIS CROOKS WRITES TO HIS MOTHER

The following interesting letter was received from Dorris Crooks, who is now on a submarine and is in active service. He is possibly the only Jasper county boy in the dangerous service : U. S. S. Canoniqus,' June 8, 1918. Dear Mother and All: At sea. Well we’ve been calling on “Fritz.” Had a good trip. Paid him our compliments and we expect to tie up again at the base tomorrow morning. Of course I can’t tell you anything about it now, but I believe I’ll write down the news each day or make a sort of a dirty, so to speak, and then you will get it after all. For some queer things happen to us every day. But there was no “yellow” showing any where any way. Had my first turn in the crow’s nest today. It is quite an experience the first time, - especially when the wind blows so hard and the boat rolls. You sure can see a long ways without “hitting” anything—easy—Can you imagine seeing a small vessel 20 or 30 miles away with the naked eye. We just got word over here of the big “subs” off the' eastern coast and all the fellows pretty near wish they were over there to get a crack at them —maybe we’ll take them coming back. P. S. Send me a fountain pen with the package, a good self filler.

Be sure and let me know when Frank comes .over —.because I’m pretty sure we can get together. Oh yes—visited an old castle the last time on liberty, and while I was there I saw an old tennis court—several hundred years old. It looked like it had been used a good deal so I’ll take their word for it. Tell Gladys and Lenore that some of these (consored) could give them a few pointers, though they do have some queer variations. Gee I’m sleepy—‘been up since 11:30 last night, except a couple of hours. I crawled over in the corner and dropped off. Have been on watch 12 hours in the last twentyfour hours. When we’re at sea we sleep on the deck with our clothes on. You can imagine what kind of a tangle that makes the whole bunch trying to find a “soft spot.” It sure is a blessing to have “folks” because when you get no mail the only consolation a fellow has is that he’s got some body who “thinks” of him now and then any way. And now mother don’t worry about me. Our ship is the “can’t come and get us” and if the worst does come we’ve got a good convoy and we’d be picked up. Write soon. I write every other day. With love, DORRIS.

Sour Stomach. This is a mild form of indigestion. It is usually brought on by eating too rapidly or too much, or of food not suited to your digestive organs. If you will eat slowly, masticate your food thoroughly, eat but little meat and none at all for supper, you will more than likely avoid the sour stomach without taking any medicine whatever. When you have sour stomach take one of Chamberlain’s Tablets to aid digestion. C

NEW "ADEWAY” MISSES ADE’S HOME ALTOGETHER

The new supposed short route “The Adeway” between Chicago and Indianapolis, which was routed through Kentland and Fowler has leglthened instead of shortened the route. The route enters Newton county near Schneider through Lake Village, Conrad, Morocco, Ade, Kentland, south out of Kentland, one mile then east to the Constable school house and straight south through Fowler to Rainesville, to Attica, thence east to Crawfordsville to Indianapolis. The above route named alter George Ade, misses his country home altogether as well as some of the best roads going through the county.

SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, SAYS SERGEANT

SERGEANT BISSET MAKES POWERFUL PLEA FOR WAR SUPPORT. There was a targe crowd at the Gayety theatre Friday evening to hear the address of Sergeant Charles E. Bisset. Sergeant Bisset has seen active strenuous service in Prance, having been entrenched near Ypres for more than ten months. He is a native Canadian, but is no longer in the service, having been incapaciated for duty by a severe attack of trench fever. In .the first part of his address he makfes a most powerful plea for subscription for War Savings Stamps. One of his striking statements shows the enormous amount of money that is to be expended. The amount necessary to carry on the war for the next twelve months is estimated to be more than $23,000,000,000. This is more money than was spent in the army since the Declaration of Independence, which period included six wars, the Revolutionary, war of 1812, Mexican war, Civil war and the Spanish-American war. The Sergeant was very modest and said that every soldier at the front was on an equality. That they were all doing splendid and the reason much credit has been given to the Canadians and Australians was the fact of the sportsman disposition of the Britisher who always recognizes ability whether it is his own or his opponents. No one has ever been given better attention by a Rensselaer audience than was Sergeant Bisset. He is not an orator, but he tells a straightforward earnest story which bristle*,, with interest. He does not pose as a hero and recites no great deeds done by himself .while an active service. He gave a Vivid picture of the life of the soldier in the trenches, telling of his food, sleeping, equipment and describing him in action. He did not think that the soldiers’ food was varied enough and said it could not be of a greater variety if the people at home consumed the food that should be sent to the front. He spoke of the unhealthy condition of the trenches. He said they often stood in mud up to their knees or above. That the lice were always present and that on account of the continuous rain the soldier's clothes were alway wet. Sergeant Bisset says that through all this the" soldier was happy, contented and anxious to do his duty. He urged the writing of many letters to the soldier boys and to keep them informed that the folks back home are all heart and soul in the war. It was an address that touched the heart and undoubtedly will do much to help us all to get into tins war game more and more every day. We shall be and the soldiers shall know that we are not only willing, but actually doing everything in our power to make victory for the entente forces come at the earliest possible moment Sergeant Binet said that the soldier was offering his life for the greatest thing in the worId—DEMOCRACY. Not the democracy of the politician but the democracy of the human soul that loves life, liberty and the privilege to serve the God above us in sincerety and truth.
