"I waJ talking today with an American citizen who left Austria with your ambassadorial train there weeks ago. He tells me that the Prussians and Bavarians long ago discounted the entrance of the United States into the war being characteristic ignorant of the speed with which you will be able to make your preparation." "But on the other hand the Austrlans and Hungarians greatly regretted having tt come to the parting of the ways with -America and their newspapers were permitted to say so. "You ask about Ireland and I appreciate the simulus that would be given the campaign in American were the Irish question settled. There is, however, no difficulty between England and Ireland. It should be remembered the difficulty is between the T'lster protestant and the south and southwest Catholic. Mr. Eloyd' George is devoting a great amount of time In an effort to bring about union among the Irish people themselves. We hope no less than you for an early and satisfactory settlement.

David Boone of Hammond as the speaker of the evening, delivered an address that was a masterpiece, filled with the tires of patriotism and love -of country. He lauded the young boys for their love of country and their mothers and fathers for their self sacrifice in giving them up. Boone's speech brought the tears to many a dry eye in the audience. Following the Hammond man's speech flags were presented to the soldier boys by Prof. Painter of the Crown Ptdnt high school, John Brown of the Grand Army and Cyrus Hayden. who presented each soldier with a silver embossed American flag, from the people of Crown Point through their representative in the city council. Following the singing of America and the benediction by Rev. Billman the crowd dispersed with an unforgettable memory of an occasion that will linger in their recollections long after the smoke of battle is cleared away. It was a fitting tribute to the soldier boys who will represent Crown Point in the battles to com. During the exercises Mrs. H. H. Wheeler made a plea for contribution to the local Red Cross and from the temper of the big atni.ence last evening it is safe to say that the Red Cross organization will fare well at Crown Point. Aftr the patriotic rally at the Crown a free dance to the soldier boys and their friends was given at Central Music hall. Every one in Crown Point were unstinted in their efforts to make the affair a success, too many In fact to extend thanks individually.

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing freezon.e, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man. which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers. A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hfrd or soft corn or callus. You apply jusl a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, ami soon the corn is so shriveled that it "lifts out without pain. II is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never Inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue.

One hundred and twenty-five recruits are arriving from Columbus Barracks and two Hammond boys, whose names I have not learned, are among them. NOTE: (Just a word to the Hammond girls. If your sweetheart Is at Fort Andraws write him often. The Boon girls are pretty, very, very pretty. They have the nicest way of saying nice things to the soldier boys which make the latter blush to the roots of their hair. And they dance Oh, how they can dance.

SATURDAY . CHICAGO

CLEAN UP i - i

Saturday is "clean up" day in East Chicago. Not that it is expected that the city will be completely renovated within twenty-four hours, but to start the movement and to give it impetus that day is set aside by proclamation frorrf the mayor in order that the ball may be set a-rolling and a campaign opened. The city has been invited to accept the co-operation of the National Clean Cp and Taint Fp Campaign Bureau whose headquarters are located at St. Ixu!s. Io. In May 1J12. A. W. Clark, publisher of a trade rper In St. Louis, proposed the idea of having a national clean up and paint up campaign. It was tried out and proved a success and has now grown into a really national movement. East year the national bureau co-operat-ed with nearly 7,0U0 towns and cities. The idea is to have the city set aside a definite period for starting a general public and private "Clean Fp and Paint 1p." to establish this five word slogan everywhere and create in the public mind a spit it of enthusiasm and a sense Here's Some Dope; Now Get Posted. LOL" will for some time read in the newspapers about military matters. Fost up on your reading.. We will help your from time to time. A "rookie" is a recruit. An officer never "enlists." He is commissioned by the president of the United States. Only rrivate soldiers, including corporals and sergeants, can "enlist." To be "drafted" means to be forced into the miliary or naval service. To "volunteer" means to go into the service willingly. "Rank and file" d not mean officers nnd enlisted men. "Rank" is a row of soldiers and "file" represents n man in the front rank with the man or men directly behind htm. "Squad" is part of a company. A captain commands a company and he has under him a first lieutenant and 8 second lieutenant. A major commands a battalion, which is made up of four companies. A regiment is commanded by a colonel and It comprises three battalions, so that a regiment Ms made up of twelve companies. A brigade is three regiments. A division is three brigades. A corps is three divisions. A general of the army corresponds to an admiral of the navy. Lieutenant-general ranks with vice-admiral and a major-general wilh a rear-admiral. Since Dewey's death there is no American admiral and we have no vice-admirals. Neither is there a general or lieutenant-general. Our chief of staff is a major-general. The titles of lieutenant-general and general, vice-admrial and ' admiral must beespeclally created by act of congress. President Wilson is commander in chief of both army and navy and has; the right to take direct command of the fleet or the army of 1,000,000 men. Every president during his term of office stands at the top of both the army and the navy stand;? there as the supreme commander. He cati dismiss afty officer, however high or low the rank. He appoints all officers.

A trip through East Chicago shows many streets, yards and open places that are littered with waste and rubbish, ami are unsightly and unsanitary. There is certainly a need of concerted movement to improve the appearance of the city and make better living and working conditions for every one. The health and sanitation committee of the Chamber of Commerce has had one meeting and if the necessary cooperation among the citizens and women's organizations can be secured, it is proposed to stage a campaign here that will have far reaching results. It is a movement for "homes and towns beautiful" and to promote cleanliness, thrift and clvtc pride and should appeal to every public spirited citizen. It is right along the line of other movements inaugurated by the Chamber of Commerce for community betterment. When Dr. H. L. WHlett of the University of Chicago, spoke here before The Departmental club he mentioned the name of Dr. E. I. Osgood of Chu Chow, China, and described Hie work Dr. Osgood has accomplished in China. Dr. Osgood is at present staying in Chicago and has kindly consented to visit Gary and speak at the Central Christian church on the evening of May 6. Dr. Osgood went to China In 1S38 and has labored so efficiently there that he has made himself an enviable place in the hearts of the Chinese who know -him. In the Chinese revolution the victorious revolutionary army was advancing toward Chu ("how intent on plundering it. - Dr. Osgood went out to meet it and conferred with the generals In command. On the strength of his years of unselfish service he per suaded them not only to abandon their plans of plunder but to make a de tour of the city. Few men have ever had such a remarkable testimony of esteem. Dr. Osgood has been an important counselor of the Chinese since then. They have great confidence in him be cause he .has always stood for the good of the community and has led in the advance of civic righteousness in the city of Chu Chow.
