He has seen that his life and the lives of his comrades have only been pawns for the "all-highest to squander in any number, to win a brief advantage on the battle front.

WHY ARE THEY SO MUCH BETTER? It does seem to The Tribune that in putting professional baseball on the list of non-essential industries, Secretary Baker went too far. Of course, ba-e-ball sanies do net win the war. They are absolutely non-essc-ntial in that sense. Put a large number of --r de are entertained by baseball game?. It is the r.aio-n.a! p-;stime. We hear a. great deal about the morale of our soldiers. We are expending vast sums in keeping the soldiers happy and in a healthy frame of mind. We know they wil lbe better soldiers for it. It is money wisely spent. ' -.- w e have a great army of food producers, of war workers, and all that goes o keep up society, whose morale must be considered also. The morale c? the thousands of war workers in Gary, for instance, is as important as the morale of troops in th field in winning the war. If the p'.ayct s were so numerous as to bea military factor, tno'her argument would come into play. Iiut c.ll the- piofe.-siona! baseball players wrh job? in ie.a :.;:- clubs in America of draft age and without e'epf -nden's would probably not be enough for a single company of troops. And this small group of men of mdl'ary e emertain hundreds of thousands weekly. In short, the advantage gamed is infinitesimal, in a military way, with the deprivation of the people. It Is a ?;a: po'her over very little. Gary Tribune. T."ie Tribune is of course entitled to it? opinion, t

against German-made smods, and much of the German product will be sold wi'hout a trade mark, or with a misleadinc one. But Germany will be here with the goods as soon as the war is over, pressinc them upon our buver' with all the arts known to the salesman's profession. What are we goins to do about it? There are many of us who believe that a protective tariff should
I be re-established, not only for the purpose of guarding
against a flood of German goods, but to guard against disastrous competition from anv other counrry in Europe or Asia. There are others, particularly the Democratic free traders, who believe we should buy where we can buy the cheapest, and that a protective tariff is a system of robbery. Lone before we entered this war., there were men o!
! foresight who agitated for preparedness. They were ridi- ! culed, and denounced as ''nervous and hysterical." In j this time of war there are those who are agitating for j preparedness for peace. They also are ridiculed, and I denounced as partisans who are trying to play politics.
It is up to the voter to determine for himself whether
he w ill be misled now as he was during the three years J A "M

ABOUT BREAD PRICES. Hammond, Ind., July 21, 1313. Editor Times: Dear Sir Relative to an article in Saturday nicht s paper in regard to the convention of retail grocers, at which Dr. Barnard, s'at food administrator, said that he had not completed a higher wholesale price on bread, which we were lead to believe was the case through the statements and concerted action of, ail bakers selling bread in Hammond and the surrounding: territory. Then one thinor only remains possible that is a perfect organization an-.onjf the bakers, which compels the rfniler to do as he bids and puts the hak' .-r, in the; class cf the 100 per cent profiteers. The forf pning statement is amply proved by the fact that the Chicago bakers s re seilir.g br:ad in the suburbs of Chicago that are farther from their bakeries than Hammond is f.-.r one cent per loaf less than they are he re. The; wholesale price of 5 and 12 cents per loaf was established by the bakers th. mselves before the fond administration had control, at a time when flour was worth S15 per barrel. The price They are charging us at present is 9 end 13 '2 cents with flour at $10.4ft per barrel. In addition to this the bakers have profited en account of a ruling by the food administration which does not permit the retailer to return stale bread. This loss to the bakers was about 7 rer cent at the time when they gave us full credit for all stale bread returned. A very conservative estimate on the amount of bread sold In the city of Hammond per day would exceed 7.000 loaves, on which they have over charged us at least one cent per loaf. In other wards, they have been taking about $70 a day thet they w,-re not entitled to. This practice has been in operation about four months, making a total of about SS.400 they have taken from us that they were not entitled to. Now, I sugyest that every retailer of bread in Hammond release to the Red Cross of Hammond what is due them from the bakers on account of being overcharged and let the Hed Cross sue these bakers for one cent a loaf for every 1- af of brad they have sold in the city ef Hammond during this period. W as retailers have been compelled to accept a smaller profit on bread than it could be sold fop and pay is share of our running txrense cn what we thought to be n ruling cf the food administration and tried and did what we considered our patriotic duty in biding by the decision cf the food administration though tb profit they slowed on bread was less than our overhead.
