ACQUIRES NEW AGENCY

The long "dead" corner at Oakley and Hummer avenues, is destined to become, a r-al mecca. This imposing business black almost conceded a financial failure on account of the many short lived enterprises It has sheltered, will now house the West Hammond live wire real estate agency of Frank J. Wachewicz. The interior of Ihe corner rooms are now being entirely overhauled and Mr. Ychewicz is

; spending- a vast sum of money for new

modern fixtures anil decorations. When camp'.eted it is said the offices will be the finest and the most beautifully appointed in the city and will be a credit not only to Its occupants and owners, but to the community, i If present plans do not miscarry Wednesday, May 9 will see the opening of the new home of "Waehewlcx Home Harguins." On that date the offices will be thrown open for public inspection with business suspended, and all are cordially Invited. All visitors are promised a warm reception by Mr.

I Wachewicz and his corps of business j associates. i The opening- of the spacious new offices in Hammond adds another climax I to the career of this, one of the ouns'est and most Industrious and aggresailve real estate agencies in this region, i Sine its birth five years ago, located

on a distant street in West Hammond, in the then seemingly comfortable quarters, the agency's business has grown to such an extent that it Is now impossible in the old quarters, to give the public the servioe it desej-ves, for the patronage it is tendering. An idea of the agency's growth and agtrressiventss can bea readily conceived from the report of the real estate sales since the late spring opening to date, through the brokerage department, now under the management

of John C. Nowickl.

UEHV LMl'EST

(By TTiiited Irei Cablegram.) LONDON, May 5. Way for the slacking of the Laon pivot of the Hindenburg line was open to the French today. If General Neville can outflank the Germans by capture of Laon in the immediate future, military strategists believe retirement of Germans to the frontier line will be necessary. Capture of Craonne, dominating the Alsne plateau and the Mlette valley, taken In a surprise blow yesterday by the French commander, gives the French

their entry point for this important

operation. Today the French were nine miles

from Laon but with the intervening ground favorably situated. German reserves hurriedly concentrated to offset the French, victory were contesting

every Inch of the ground held Ty Ne

ville's troops and French dispatches In

dicated a battle of gigantic proportions was gathering there. . Craonne and Laon lie at the base of an angle of which La Fere la the point. A penetration of this angle would give the allies hold back of the Hindenburg. line all the way nort?i and place the Germans in jeopardy. Field Marshal Hajg's report today indicated continuance of tfce deadlock in the Arras sector and was devoted to fighting further south, around Fresnoy. The deadlock in the Arras sector was not without fighting.

"Come up stairs, rvery step saves you money," the Invitation issued by Mandel & Company, 151-55 State street, which brings forth such responses as to prove that Hammond jpeopde are not lazy. They are willing to climb a night of stairs to get bargains in ladies dresses and corsets. Lawrence Hoffman, a Hammond haberdasher, returned from New York City, Thurslay evening with a lesson for alarmists. He states that business Is not the bast changed by the war and the metropolis, although on the coast, is normal. There Is less excitement than in the west, he claims, and no one is predicting that business will go to the eternal bow-wows. Harry Mansfield of Chicago, was tried today in city court for wiring a house 'without proper city permits. Arguments started at 9 o'clock this mornlag and at the time of going to press were still on.

I rejoice to feel that a very old member of the British house of commons has been received here by a sister assembly with such kindness as you have shown me and my friend. These two assemblies are the greatest and oldest of five such assemblies now governing

the greatest nations of the world. Each represents the greatest democratic (principle to which we look forward to secure the future peace of the world. The compliment to the mission by such an assembly is one never to-be forgotten. This is one of the greatest moments In the history of the world. "What is happening now represents the drawing together of free people against aggression of military depotlsm. It is quite' true that people and the representatives of the people may be betrayed by some burst of passion but the military depotlsm of Germany is such that it lasts throughout generations. I repeat I sincerely thank you for the cordial welcome and express , my profound respect for this unique meeting."

LLEGAL

According to advices received by the

East Chicago Chamber of Commerce from the public service commission at Indianapolis the water tax of three dollars per that has been assessed against automobiles by the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor "Water Co. is an illegal

tax and therefore not collectable. The matter came up before the di

rectors a week ago upon complaint of

one of the citizens and the secretary

was Instructed to write to the com

mission in regard to the legality of the

tax.

Teh following letter was received and

is now on file in the secretary's office: Mr. F. L. Evans, Secretary Chamber of Commerce, East Chicago, Indiana. Dear Sir: "vV'e are In receipt of your etter under date of April ,30, 1917. in which you make inquiry regarding a special automobile tax of $3.00 imposed by the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Water Co. against all owners of automobiles. In looking up the schedule of rates, tolls and charges now on file, and under which said company is now operating we do not find any charge of this kind, unless same 6hould "be listed under another name. Therefore, it would be an illegal charge. Yours very truly, (Signed) CHAS. A. EDWARDS. Commissioner. E. J. Jenkins, local manager of the company, was rresent at the meeting of the ' board of directors yesterday when this letter was presented and in answer said that probably, this rate had not been properly filed. He said further that until It was properly filed there would be rio further ffort to collect the tax; and,if It should develop that the rate was illegal, he would see that all money paid In was returned to those who had been thus taxed.

THEY LIKED THE SENDOFF
