Remember that the railroads are enerasred with the urgent movement of troops and their supplies; that there U unusual pressure In various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they tan handle rorr.ptly. For that reason many trains are late. Th Times has increased its mailing' equipment and la cooperating In every way with the postoff.ee department to expedite delivery.

ticular augmentation of our citizenship. The bulk o! Gary's population Is foreign, and much of this bulk is hardly desirable. It Is representative of southerly Europe and specially the Balkan states. It does not respond readily to the American appeal nor does It understand American ideals. It is Industrious and" It Is acquisitive, but it is stolid and havy. It is earthy of the earth of its genesis. Comparatively isolated though this hump la in some respects from the balance of the state, it is able to make its influent? felt very directly and very powerfully in the framing, of Indiana laws. Lake county already has the second largest representation in the state legislature and incorporating as she does within her oorders half a dozen growing cities, it may not be a erent while until she loads all the rest in this respect. It need hardly be said that for pome years at least Lake county's delegations are going to represent Lake county's interests rather than those of Indiana aa a whole and as a result of this we shall no doubt set some strange transactions in the future. We have not yet forgotten Senator Xed.il and we may expect that time will present other palpitating patriots from the sand dunes cast in his heroic mold. It might be presuming possibly to sugcest the propriety of sending missionaries to Lake county but really something should be done toward establishing a more cordial rela'ionship and a better understanding between that community and the balance of the state. The state at large must be made to realize that Lake coun'y as a powerful factor is here to stay and Lake county must be brought to see that her interests are indSssolubly united with those of Indiana. Neither can escape the other if it would Fort Wayne News.

WHAT IS THE TRUTi

After bing killed and dying a dozen times old Von Hindenburg. Germany's boss brute next to the kaiser, turned up alive again on Saturday and began to blame Ludendorf. It would be interesting to know what is the truth about Von Hindenburg. The sufficiently plain fact is that his own "brains," Von Ludendorff, has been promoted from the office of quartermaster general of the army to that of chief of the staff. Now the chief of the staff is, of course, the real commander of the troops, the nominal commander-in-chief being the kaiser. The chief of the staff at the beginning of the war was Von Moltke, who was followed by Von Falkenhayn, who in turn gave place to Von Hindenburg. Now, without any explanation as to what has happened to Von Hindenburg, Von Ludendorff steps into his place. Thus the Von Hindenburg mystery is left unsolved.

SAVING OREGON BERRIES. Farmerettes in Oregon are saving the berry crop. They are doing it in an organized, businesslike fashion. Women volunteers register at the office of the government farm help specialist at Portland. More than 100 have already enrolled and recruits are still coming in so steadily that the necessary 1,000 workers are assured. The plan is to have individual berry growers send lo the farm specialist for the number of pickers needed. Ihe number is then requisitioned from the enrolled volunteers and sent out at once in charge of a competent Wder. June and July are the berry months. The farm labor ihortage put this year's berry crop in danger of being lost. Now its safety is insured by these volunteer harresters. Probably after those berries have been gaihred the mothers and sisters of the women who picked hem will proceed to do their part by canning them.

THE DEADLY TOOL KIT. The spirit with which our allies are beating back the Austrian hordes in Italy is typified in a picturesque Incident of the fighting on the Piave. A British airman, part of the big sky fleet that has

harrassed the invaders ail along the line all his bombs and emptied his cartridge there were so many tirgets left that he

leave them. So he flew down to within 20 or 30 feet of the ground, and skimmed along the Austrian lines, pelting the enemy with the spare parts and tools in his repair outfit. The Austrians were so thunderstruck by this attack that they cowered under the river bank and among the bushes, and their assailant got off safely. Such a use of airplane tools is not to be encouraged, in a world full of bombs and bullets, but the effect in this case was worth the sacrifice. The enemies who dodged those wrenches and bolts, and the comrades to whom they told the tale, will never fight again with the same nerve.

JESS, YOU'VE SAID A MOUTHFUL! The announcement that an additional ten million dollar tin plate mill is to be erected in Gary immediately, serves to remind us once more that in the north west corner of our state a city of mushroom growth but solid substance is rapidly becoming a factor in Indiana's industrial and civic life. There is no disguising the fact that if Gary's growth continues, as it seems destined to continue, it will not be long before ic is in population the second city of the state. Indeed, it may ultimately crowd Indianapolis for the metropolitan honors, for there is no gainsaying the fact that for some years to come the iron and steel industries will boom aa they have never boomed before, and Gary appear? to be chosen as the center of this activity. Gary is growing and will continue to grow, yet while in one sen.-? she will add materially to Indiana's wealth and population, in another sense, there is something rather disquietine in this par-

CONFUSION IN WASHINGTON. Testifying before the senate investigating committee, Mr. C. C. McCord, of the interstate commerce commission, dclared that the priority system had increased instead of relieved railway congestion, and had been great deTriment to business. "Priority orders, as they have been issued," he said, "have tended to disorganize the whole transportation system. The priority system has been greatly misused." more than half of all the shipments being under priority orders. "We had," he also said, "the priority board, the war and navy departments, the fuel administration and the food administration, the car service commission and the interstate commerce commission issuing priority orders. Only confusion and serious hindrance to transportation could result." From the above it should be clear that there are so many committees in Washington whose duties overlap that they are literally in the way of each other and are a hindrance, instead of a help, to the prompt and efficient transaction of the public business. The situation is so crucial that many, very many who ma?' still believe in Mr. Wilson's ability have lost confidence in the men wi:h whom he has surrounded himself and to whom he has delegated th vast powers which congress has placed in his hands.

GIRLS IN WAR TIME.

The Eloomington city council has decided, very properly, to ignore the protest made on the part of W. C. T. U. women against the action taken by 500 young girls of that city in adopting overalls as their of5cial working garment. The city council could find nothing "shocking" or "improper" in the action. We are no longer in the mid-Victorian era, which, with all its prudishnes3, was more immoral than the present age, says the Herald-Examiner. Young women do not concern themselves much these days with questions as to what is "proper." They are too busy. They have work to do. Such questions are as antiquated as the old hairsplitting discussions about infant damnation and the devil, once the chief concern of religion. If overalls or bloomers are going to make their work easier and less dangerous, they will wear them in spite of the protests of the shocked sisterhood. As a matter of fact, they should have adopted them long ago as the only sensible thing to wear. They can remain just as feminine and just as sweet in overalls as in skirts and what's more, all tha young men worth anything are in the training camp or in the expeditionary army. a When they return, perhaps the girls can adopt frills again. But the war has given them a duty to perform, and they are going about their work earnestly and in their own way. There ought to be a monument erected to the Girl in Overalls.

COL. George Harvey says the greatest service Henry Ford could render the greatest number of people would be to install an additional spring in each tin lizzie, and "Ford" Bunnell says the Col. must be looking forward to the dry period.

THEY accuse us of fearful frankness and yet we are not brave enough to tell a young lady who sits in front of U3 at the movies how much better her entire area of visible skin would look If she'd wash it instead of blobbing it with talcum powder.

ONE satisfaction we get out of this war after we sit hard on all desire to sing hate songs against Gerf many, is to think about what is going to happen to her in a commercial way after the war is over.

A HEADLINE says, "Americans Are the Best Soldiers in the World." Well, we admit It. Why harp on the obvious?

THEY are putting horseradish in near beer to give it a kick. We know some thirsty souls who wouldn't be satisfied if you'd put a depth charge of T. N. T. in it.

IT was the dry and unctuous Will Rogers who said that the president had given the republicans almost all the jobs the Jl per day job3.

AUSTRIAN prisoners captured by the Italians have iron money and tin medals. That is all they've got to show for four years of kaiser-service.

Academically we can have a republic without a democracy, and vice versa, a democracy without a republic, but to our American minds this is a paradox. ni:d nrxi to the attfiinnieiit of the prime end oi this war the freedom of the

kindness, cbedience, bravery, and rever

wo cannot have faith in men and what- !

evr loyalty we may display is grounded upon a namby-pamby sentimentalism which will stand no tes'. Without spirituality we cannot have any of the above qualities; without th? qualities we cannot have service; without service we can have at most a sham democracy castes, classes and masses, more divisional than those depending upon royal decree. A true American van's a democracy where everyone strives to do the lowliest work. Every true American wants to preserve this a democracy where they klcK a man downstairs who brings so(irl, political, or financial pressure to bear upon any agency of the government to keep his son in a eemi-non-eombatant corps, where there is little danger from gas and 'shells; where the only thing that hurts is a yellow conscience. This barrage isn't meant to be fatal, but now let's go over the top. Five thousand dollars in two years. The poor will furnish 90 per cent of our soldiers and Roy Scouts. The wealthy, that is. ail whose fortunes exceed five thousand dollars, ought to fur

nish DO per cent of the money. This ;

line of demarcation has. been brought luw so as not to draw fire from the wealthier of my audience and beyond. If you cannot furnish a boy, then furnish the money. Is a hundred dollar check more important than a boy? Shall we be more tender with our dollars than with the poor man's son? The onlyquestion a wealthy American may ask gracefully today is. "How much?" Let us not be patriots by proxy. The poor thousand dollar a year man gives twelve iV.liars for the Red Cross. His twenty thousand dollar a year employer sends in a -heck for one hundred dollars. Puzzle, find the patriot. Let us draw up a list of Hammond's five hundred wealthiest men and women. Divide the list Into hundreds. Put the names of the wealthiest at the- head cf the list. Appoint a committee for each hundred. Call on them in the orr"er named. Try to hold them to the ratio adopted by the government for the income tax. Then, appeal to the poor and see who beats. Until the rich have given till it hurts, until they abandon their expensive cars for those of cheaper make, until their wives wear simpler frocks, until they have given largely of their unearned increment, until they live as frugally as the family in moderate circumstances, not to speak of the poor; the rich I repeat, display splendid courage in appealing to the roor for financial assistance in any movement. If the rich will but give the example, the poor will outdo them in generosity. The danger of class strife will disappear; democracy will have received an impetus and momentum end our Boy Scouts will have 'e.arncd a supreme lesson in helpfulness e.nd generosity from those who should be the leaders in cur community.
