ARMISTICE DAT PLANS WELCOMED

VERSATILE PROGRAM IS BEING ARRANGED FOR BY COMMITTEES IN CHARGE. • Plans tending toward the comJasper county on Tuesday, November 11, the day that Kaiser Bill and his horde threw up the sponge and acknowledged that the allies had won, are being rushed rapidly and from all indications the program being arranged will be of a nature , that will please each and every sol’dier." It is to be something different than the usual run of patriotic ■ day celebrations' and will be of a kind that will leave a good taste in the mouth of the soldier bgy after it ,is aIF over? THe tiresome events ! that have marked celebrations of a 1 patriotic sort since the beginning i of time are to be absent, and No-

I vember 11 will mark the epoch of a plunge into something that augurs well for the permanent popularity of the day. ? The various committees in charge of the celebration are going at theirwork with enthusiasm and it seems that the War Mothers have struck a popular chord of approval with the citizenry as well as the soldier in their determination to show to the soldier the respect in which he is held by the community. The entire day’s program has not been perfected as yet, and until the plans of entertainment have been definitely completed no publication of them will be made. In the meantime the former khaki-clads will have to mark time and wait for the good things that are in store for them. Providing the weather man does not go on a spree, there should be an immense crowd in the city on Armistice day, and the attractions which are being secured are bound to lure many from distant points. The soldiers are not being urged to wear thgir uniforms, but it would be a- source of mueh- pleasure -to the War Mothers and others interested if they would do so.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 27. President Wilson vetoed the prohibition enforcement bill and the'house ’of representatives promptly repassed the measure over the veto by a vote of 176 to 55, which was twenty more than the requisite two-thirds majority. The senate is expected to take the same action, making the bill a law probably this week. —o — Although the president and cabinet still hope that the bituminous coal miners will not strike in defiance of the government’s decision that such a strike would be a crime, to be prosecuted as such, they are making all possible preparations to deal drastically with the situation if the miners insist upon force. Force, they say, will be met with force. Ndtfiftig has been heard from the mine leaders, but nothing is expected until the union executive boards meet at lndianapolis Wednesday. k ■ —o — In defeating the Johnson amendment to the league of nations covenant the senate went on record as approving; six votes for Great Britain jn the league assembly while the United States has but one. The amendment was rejected by a narrow margin, the vote being 40 to 38. Nine republicans voted against the amendment. —o— Delegates have arrived from twen-ty-six countries for the international labor conference under the peace treaty, which convenes Wednesday. Conference, once convened, can proceed with its business regardless of the status of treaty ratifications, dealing with international labor problems. ,/ ■ . ■. The senate honored the memory of Theodore Roosevelt on this, the occasion of his sixty-first birthday, arid listened to an impressive address by Senator McCormick, of Illinois, who called upon congress to follow principles laid down by Roosevelt in dealing with “fantastic-inter-nationalism,” as exemplified by the league of nations covenant and also in the problems of radical unrest now distracting the nation. Both houses of congress showed a disposition today to support the government in its firm attitude against the coal strike. Resolutions of support are pending in both branches and action is expected shortly. ..

PASS BILL OVER WILSON’S VETO

HOUSE OVERRULED THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE DRY BILL 176-55 MONDAY. . • • . ■* and within three hours the house had repassed it over his veto by a vote of 176 to 55. The total vote was a bare majority of the entire membership. . z ‘ Dry leaders in the senate immediately began laying plans to repass the bill there. They expect to ask unanimous consent for its consideration today, claiming enough votes to put it through. They expect to act on it Wednesday by the latest. —The president refused to sign the bill because it included the enforcement of war time prohibition. The object of war time prohibition, the president said in his veto, has been satisfied and “sound public policy makes clear the reason and necessity for its repeal.” Tt would not be difficult, the president held, for congress to deal separately with the two issues. —The veto hit congress like a crack of lightning. The house, getting on its feet again, desereted the leaders, who wanted to defer consideration until Thursday, so as to round up all

the dry members. But the drys swept into the chamber and showed there was an overwhelming sentiment among them to give the government ample weapons for dealing with the liquor traffic, now outlawed throughput the land With the re passage of the law by the house and the prospect of the same thing in the senate, hone of the big “wet spell” that would run over the Christmas season vanished into thin air. Prohibition leaders predicted Monday that the refusal of the house to accept the president’s veto meant that the sale of liquor would not be permitted again in the life .'f ibis and many other generations.

PEOPLE WHO DON’T OWN HOMES SEEM ON INCREASE.

“The United States has fought all her wars to preserve the home, and yet probably 60 per cent of her people are tenants.” This was the text selected by United States Senator Calder in a recent address befor the New York Real Estate association’s convention at New York, urging the necessity of a national campaign for the creation of homes. “The situation is bad enough,” he said, “but what is worse, is the percentage of these rent-payers is growing with each enumeration. In 1901 we were advised that 52 per centoftfiepeopleinAfoericaliyed undeT The rental system. In 1910 that the percentage had increased to 65 per certß and probably the census of- 1920 will show that fully 60 per cent of the people will be classed as tenants. “If it is the case today that but forty people out of a hundred live in their own homes and that the increase, small as it is, will continue, it is fair to conclude that twentyfive years hence less than one-third of the population of the United States will - be v outside the tenant class.’

BURRIS ON STAND TODAY

DEFENSE WILL CLOSE ITS CASE THIS AFTERNOON AT KENTLAND. At 1 o’clock this Tuesday afterno on John Buffis, charged with having committed a criminal assault upon the person of Edith Smith, a sikteen-year-old feeble-minded girl, in this city September 15, took the stand in Kentland in his own beI half in an effort to shake the strong I web of evidence pointing to his guilt, woven by the state on hßrtiday, the opening day of the trial. The state closed its case early this morning after having occupied the greater part of -Monday in producing a strong chain of evidence by witnesses to show that the defendant was guilty of the crime with which he is charged. It is understood that the state made a very strong case and the indications at this time are that Burris will be convicted. Edith Smith, the plaintiff, is said to have made a very good witness, and the attorneys for the defense were unable to make her waver. Several other state witnesses followed the girl and it is understoodtold (practically the same story as she told. Following the completion of the examining of the witnesses for the defense, the state will make its closing argument and the case is expected to be in the hands of the jurors some time early this evening.

HANLY DECLARES VETO OF DRY BILL UNWISE.

J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana and a prohibition leader, characterized President Wilson’s veto of the national prohibition enforcement act as “unwise and appointment to his best friends.” “On Saturday he pointed out to the miners that their contracts On a wage agreement to ‘run during the continuance of the war’ were still in effect and that the war was not over, but yesterday he told the liquor interests that the war is over and his veto message sets out the the war emergencies are passed,” Mr. Hanly “I hope congress will pass - the act- over his veto. President Wilson has so complicated himself with Samuel Gompers, representing the brewery interests in the country, that the president is no longer himself.”
