The floatinir or general reserves, whirh form what military students term a mass of maneuver, are hera shown as circular masses behind the general defensive lines of the opposing powers. The German mass f taneuver is .shown in the proximity of Roumania. in which theater it. or part of it. was last evident.

The salesman remembered th sale, too. and he responded quickly: J "Your father turned in 300 bushels of corn to pay for it. Now, I i! do better by you that 1 did by your father. You bring in your f!"0 bushels of I corn and I'll let you pick out this list:"

And the salesman wrote down: One $fo buaey, one $r.O wagon, one $20 suit of clothes, one $20 dress, one $:. baby dress, one r crib, one box of ciaar, $2 worth of supar, V ' worth of coffee, $1 torta of tea, $40 worth of gasoline, and t -' won h of lubricating oil.

We refer to the uniforming, drillins? and arnn'ns of bodies of men of foreign birth and under foreisrn flags. These organizations can be seen parading en many occasions. Several time? last summer a company of foreigners carrying rifles, in green uniforms with feather cockaded hats appeared en Hammond streets and went through formidable military maneuvers. There were i:,0 of them. There is an armory in Hammond well stocked with euns. In West Hammond the same can be often seen. Gary has a r.imber of foreisrn organizations which drill regularly under foreign flags. There is of cour-e no proof that these drilling organizations are unfriendly ' the government, bu wha if intrigue should wear down their patriotism? The question is: What are they drilling for anyway? If these foreign bodies want to drill or handle arms,, let them join the

organized militia, the home guards, or the United States army. j Why should foreign flags be permitted in armed organization parades j anyway?-- If the American flag isn't good eno lgh for these foreign organ:- ! rations, let them go back to th countries whence they came. ; Tt- has been pointed out that this is the most tolerant of nations.

A PECULIAR DECISION.

One day this week a Washington story on the German-American situa:ion carried the onenine sentence 'hat: "Actual declaration of war hy the

l'nife-l Sta'es against Germany appeared today to depend upon the fa'e vl'ch will befall the f'.rst armed American liner." This conclusion may have beoii pure speculation on the part of the cor- j 1 1 snondenr who sent it, but as it came from a reputable news agency it is presumed that it had some foundation in fact. If that decision was reached. ; .' wa-s peculiar, 'o say ttie least. J Just why this country should wait and see what happened to an armed j i:nr is something that the. average citizen will be unable to understand.

Suppose a farmer is on his way to market with a load of produce. The farmer has his family with him and ihe American flae flies from his wagon. Ke !s driving along a public highway where he has a legal and moral right be. A Ions comes an enem and i- hoot s his wagon full of holes, i tga rdie;-s

,.f ii:o flac. the farmer or the family. The wagon is wrecked, the :. ru'iiHl and sotiu of Hie chibiien are killed.

That tertainiv a reprehensible act, but i does not seuu to h- an overt j

according pn fit irttidards. Suppose, again, that the farmer has marketed his ptoduce ami is on hie way home with an empty wagon. He still has his family and the American
