Lake County Will Watch Over Its Big Neighbor.

New York would be told to keep on working for the enemy, making money for him—-why should the enemy march to Chicago? And what could Chicago do? The middle west has no rnuni- . tion plants; it has no means of defense. When the coast cities fall, Chicago falls. To prolong the struggle would only mean more destruction and more cost. We should pay vast indemnities ibr peace, and where, oh, where, would be the Monroe doctrine? Ask the enemy’s staff, quartered in the Pan-American build-

ing in Washington,—Frederick Palmer in the Indianapolis News. - Oli, is that so? Chicago may not nave any munition plants, but we stand ready to protect Chicago. If our big neighbor ever gets into trouble let her be assured that Lake county has one guncotton factory, one nvsol works, two benzol plants, three shrapnel casing plants, one dynamite works, one artillery cap factory, one hospital supply works, two military acid establishments, bar mills for shrapnel use, a cavalry supply yard, an« auto truck factory, and besides these a lot of good foundries that can cast cannon on short notice'-— Hammond Times.
