THE NEW

YORK PLAN IX GARY: THE GARY

PLAN IX NEW YORK. New Yorkers are kicking up quite a rebellion In their city campaign bocause a lot of people don't like the Wirt school plan from Gary. The New Yorkers are getting something good and don't appreciate it. In Gary they are vigorously fighting in their city campaign because the people don't like Wall street's plan for political control from New York. The Garyite3 are getting something bad and they appreciate just how Insidious it is. Aa is often the case, they enow more civic intelligence in a small town than they do in a big city, and the spectacle of the Indiana community and New York having as the chief issues in their campaigns "plans" from the other city is novel as well as interes:ing.

WE always sympathise with tha downtrodden &ex IX all emergencies but we believe a man who ruts fish hooka in hla TROUSHR'S pockets on TAKING to the hay is a fiend unhung 'S ALL, right to fill your pockets with FROGS, worms, etc. BUT fish hooks OH. boys, no! ANSWERING an esteemed kidier we know there was a time WHEN the world was so squeamish IT was supposed that women HAD no legs BUT such a myth could not prevail today. YOU can't deny it girls SHORT skirts are like some ball players TKET reveal poor form. THE esteemed fashion mag. whose sacred duty it is ours to look over regu larly ANNOUNCES that "black lace gowns RISE and fall as did the ROMAN empire"

YES and we saw one the other night THAT reminded us how low the ROMAN empire came down AT one time. AND you might REMEMBER, too. that you only have a few days to withdraw your TWO gallons per capita of snake bits cure. THERE are only four good stories In the world, it is said, and yet an EMINENT Tresbyterian clergyman puts the number at two. the story you can tell AND the one you can't tell ACCORDING to Larry Cox his count is all to the wrong, however, THEY may not be quite as aristocrat but IT is true nevertheless that the one lung lixxie kicks up aa much dust AS the aristocratic 12. SOME idea of the difficulty of the position of the Russians' position MAY be gained by remembering iat they have worse things than YELLOW Bill Thompson TO contend with.

MUNICIPAL COAL YARDS. Muncie and Kansas City propose municipal coal yards unless retail dealers find a way to sell coal at reductions in accordance with those President Wilson announced as prices at the mines. This is significant. It indicates that even in the smaller phases of business there is a desire to get away from commercial extortion. Its fountain-head rests with certain elements in big business, and it seems to radiate into the channels of distribution, often taking on additional facilities for extortion. This country doesn't want state socialism, but it seems to be headed for (om form or other of it; and that appears to be about the onlr relief tftere is for pocketbooks. But by whatever name it is called, whether it is termed state socialism or the extension of governmental protection to the people, it la quite apparent that the facilities for extortion as they have been chiefly exemplifled through the blood profiting prices charged for steel, coal, wheat and other food are going to be sharply whacked by law.

WHAT'S UPI Note that one of the incorporators of the "Committee of Fifteen," Wall street's latest political reform organization at Gary, is a young gentleman at whose office a police raid revealed gambling going full blast. It Wall street's hypocritical political agents set out to recruit as members for its reform bodies people whom Mayor Johnson's police have caused the law to be obeyed, there ought to be several willing to serve, even if revenge is their only motive. Two other gentlemen high in the livery of Wall street, serving on the "committee," are directors of an organiiation fbat leased property disclosed

to have been used for gambling purposes for two years, but they do not

seem to have been indicted along with others who were accused of leasing property for law-violating uses. Anyhow, it's a queer world, human nature is not wholly perfect, and

one must not expect a reform body to be so, at least one packed with the political Machiavellians of Wall street. Such an association, prostituted to

the ends of politics, never gets anywhere.

GARY'S SOUTH SIDE.

Whenever Mayor Johnson emphasizes that Tark President Gleason's scheme for a 400-acre park in Little Calumet swamps is a deliberate plan to keep people from moving for a lake front bathing beach, the Gary Tribune proceeds to set his honor down "on record" as opposed to the "interests of the south side people." The south side is Gary's great foreign quarter, housing 40,000 souls of fifty nationalities. The mayor is not opposed to a parkon the south side; he advocates ons. but he does not want to have the lake front plan beclouded by either the official satrap of Wall street or their subservient editorial writers, who now and anon acquire one of Wall street's choice building lo'ts. As for the south eiders, they have some matters of vengeance as far as Wall street and it park board, its utilities, Commercial club control and newspapers are concerned. Gary's south side, after eleven years, does not possess a single green spot. Even the few acres of green grass around Froebel school, which is under the direction of Wall street's school board, has been allowed to burn u;?. Although Wall street has dominated park and council legislation, the south side gets no consideration. Even Wall street'a great land company has taken care that the east side of South Broadway has stood as primeval a wilderness as it was fifty years ago. In the meantime Wall street can get a better price for its land uptown. As for the Gary Tribune, south side people must remember that its editor feverishly worked with Wall street's real estate officials to induce the Pennsylvania railroad to build its $250,000 depot in West Fifth avenue, at An-

bridge, instead of at the present south side depot location, a scheme that was nipped in the bud by THE GARY TIMES telling the management of the Pennsylvania railroad the truth. Whenever Wall street's political agents or its newspapers begin to protest love for Gary's foreign quarter its people have a right to become suspicious as they think of their industrial neglect, their horrible housing conditions, and how Wall street discriminates against them by either holding up water pipe extension or making it so that unlike those on the north sids (where Wall street sells the building lots) they can't have lawns, flower and trees. And if Wall street didn't have such babbling newspapers, which anput to such freakish reform purposes by its blundering political officials, there wouldn't be half the resentment there is against it. Chief of all Wall

street's trouble breeders in Gary are its puerile and grasping newspapers.

THE PRIDE OF EAST CHICAGO. Indications are that Co. L, the pride of East Chicago, will be called to

Indianapolis the first of next week. In anticipation of the call, th boys have had thing3 in readiness several days to pack quickly.

The comfort kits presented by the Ked Cross organiiation are still the talk of the company. Every recipient apparently appreciated to the full what the ladies had done for them. With the comfort kits, the, new flag, the equipment fund that is being raised among the citizens, and the monthly remittance that will be sent to the company by the manufacturers' association, the boys will leave East Chicago very well equipped for the arduous duties of the soldier. It is the only home town company in the county, outside of Gary, and as such is an object of much concern, interest and solicitude on the part of citizens. The best wishes and prayers of the entire population will go with them when they take the train for their southern destination.

RELIEF

(Special to Tub Tiuks.) WASHINGTON, P. C. Aug. 31. Tha War Council of the American Red Cross today announces the sending of a commission to Serbia to begin immediately relief work In that stricken country and to help Us scattered population in tha struggle againat privation and disease. Two hundred thousand dollars has been appropriated by the War Council to buy medical and other supplies for use among refucees on the Macedonian front. Cordenlo Arnold Severance, an eminent lawyer of St. Paul, Minnesota, heads the mission as commissioner. Deputy commissioners are: Dr. Severance Burrage. sanitarian, formerly of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Frederick T. Lloyd, physician, of Boston. Dr. Eugene A. Crockett, surgeon, of Boston. Fater Francis Jager. University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Edwin D. Haskell, secretary, Minneapolis. Two other members of tha commission, W. A. W. Stewart of New York, and L. D. Wishard of Fasadena, California, left seme time ago for Salonika. The fifth of the Red Cross commissions goes to study a problem acknowledged as one of the most formidable in Europe. There is hardly a family in Serbia that has not been uprooted and torn from Its home, and none that has not lost some member on the battlefield. What has been the nation's losses during the past five years of bloodshed cannot be estimated. From an army of nearly a half a million at the beginning of tha war, over a hundred and fifty thousand men, are estimated to hnu been taken prisoners by tha Central powers and are suffering from malnutrition in prison camps. Many thousands were lost in the retreat through Albania. Of tha army cf one hundred thousand new en tha Salonika front, about sixty thousand are actual fighting men. The civilian population has suffered as greatly as the army. It has been harried over the face cf Europe. One hundred and fifty thousand fatherless families. It is estimated, are facing destitution in various countries. Refugees in Russia, Roumania, Greece. Italy, Franee, and Swltserland number over thirty thousand. Fifty thousand families are interned in Auatrian camps. After the massacres at Nsh last February, when 2". 000 Serbians died in re

volt, upwards of thirty thousand of these unhappy people were deported by tha Bulgarians into Asia Minor. The pressing needs of Serbia have been laid before the Red Cross "War Council by D-. Edward Ryan, Red Cross representative at Salonika and by Miss Emily Simmonds, graduate of Roosevelt Hospital, New York, who enlisted in the Serbian Red Cross in 1914 and has since then assisted in the relief of thousands of refugees. Miss Simmonds urges the dispatch of food, clothing, bandages, blankets, seeds, agricultural tools, as well as of doctors and nurses. In her informal report to the Red Cross, she said: "There were only four hundred doctors In all Servia at tha beginning of the war, and the death rate has been high. Sixty died of typhus alone in January and February, 1915. There are 116 doctors now In the army, but only one dentist. Women doctors are especially needed for maternity work In the villages. One doctor in a small car could furnish medical supervision for several villages. A system of soup kitchens in tha villages Is an absolute necessity if famine is not to make good its threats this winter."

The Other Night CA man phoned to THE TIMES, and he wanted to know where he could buy five gallons of a certain kind of transmission oil ad vertised extensively in the magazines. We Could Not Tell Him! C4Well,M he said, "I guess Til have to stick to ' V naming another brand of transmission oil, "But I believe this , oil is good stuff, but where in hell can I get it?" The Point Is This: CHere is a national commodity. It is sold everywhere hereabouts. It is advertised in all the magazines, and there are people who own cars who don't buy a magazine a month. Yet the people who have it for sale: the shopkeepers won't advertise it tJHow is the man who wants it to know where to purchase it?
