WATCH OUT FOR PEACE TALK. If there are any benighted pacifist? or people with German sympathy in America who imagine that t'm.country is going to let up until i has so thoroughly licked the Hun that he will never stick his head up again, they might as well disabuse themselves of sucn perfectly outrageous ideas. We anticipate the new Hun peace offecftve. It is ecniing as sure as God made little apples. The Hun knows he Is on his way to a waliopin? and he is going to begin to snivel and cry. He nuev?r was a gamo sport and will never take his medicine like a man. H will never take four years of the insult?, the beating:-, the beastly treatment he has given the Belgians, the French and British. He wants to end the war now and he will try to save his hide. Th? rropaeandd will be circulated in this country, but it is not going to get any leeway hereabouts. There shill be no peace proposals by understanding, no activity of th? Kun's hellish secret igent3 in the United States, if its loyal people have anything to say. Germany is going to get a taste of her own devilish poison before the United Sates completes this job. The horrible atrocities inflicted on women, children, old men, priests, young girls, are not to be forgotten. The ruin and waste committed by the German beasts are burnt in the world'? memories. The U-boat horrors, the slaying of Fed Cross nurses, the rape of nuns, stick in the craw. Every day new atrocities are coming to light. Only yesterday details were officially published for the first time of gross outrages on British prisoners and wounded men committed by the Germans last March. Affidavits of Scottish soldiers testify to the authenticity cf the charges. A private of the royal highlanders tells how he and a number of comrade?, consisting of one off.cer and fifteen men, ten of whom were

One of the reasons why we have trouble in
weather is becau1 we dress too heavily. In northern climes especially and that includes practically the en' ire geography of our country we do not know how to keep the amount of clothes we wear commensurate with the tale of the thermometer. Notice this difference: When we retire cn a hot night we do not put heavy covers over our bodies. Some of us. in fact, scarcely use a single covering besides tho nightie. But consider the weight of men's trousers even the summer trousers. And they are worn during theday time on top of other garments; the shirt is worn on top of another also. In other words, in the day time we are dressed much more heavily than we would permit during the night, when it is cooler. The natives in Africa, where it is hot all the time, know how- to circumvent the heat situation. They go naked. Laporte Herald.

March 2S. They were lined up in the original front line trench and after some time a German officer and two men appeared. One of the men. undr orders of the officer, turned a stream of liquid fire straight down the trench in which the Britishers were standing, and notwithstanding the fact that they were unarmed, continued to spray them for six or seven minutes. Another private testified that he ar.ri other prisoners were marched down a trench to an emplacement about six feet deep, nine feet wide and from nine to twelve feet long, and whil" tightly packed in the enclosure two Germans, one of whom carried a revolver and seemed to be an officer, appeared. The othr man had a cylinder on his back and a'tached to it was a flexible pipe. "Just as he reached the entrance to the inclosure." said the soldier, referring to the man with the cylinder on his back, "a fame spurted out in a stream from the pipe and caught, the men who were nearest to the entrance. The other men lay in heaps around and par'lv on me. I heard a hissing sound for a short while. Then It stopped, but started again. During this time the nien Tere shrieking and writhing. Tha name? reached right back to where I was. My overcoat and tunic caught fire. By this time all the men were on thu ground." The soldier added that he managed to crawl up the slope and get away. Pity for the Hun a' any stage of the -rr.e ? yever' A thousand times no! Not uatjj he is ground in th-du?.
EETTER LET THIS SEEP IN. It does not seem to be generally understood by employment agents operating in this region that from the time the government employment office was established, no one ha? a right to recruit labor in this territory from any source. Just a few days ago, word came to government men that labor agents were quietly picking up men out of East Chicago for transportation to Michigan and to other points. Needless to say, these agents were at once apprehended and were given a warning io get out of he territory. Their names were sent to Indiananolis and
i to ashmgton and they will be severely dealt with should
there be any repetition of this offense. From the time the Lake county employment bureau occupied its quarters at the East Chicago city hall, all recruiting cf labor must pats through its hands. The word "all" is used advisedly inasmuch as East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are now on a hundred per cent war basis. That is, every industry in the city Is working either directly or indirectly on war orders. No individual nor firm nor agency can have anything to do with the recruiting or placement of labor in East Chicago and the quicker the general public recognizes this fact, the less are such individuals or firms or agen cies likely to get into trouble with federal authorities.
LESS BAGGAGE.
HOW ARE WE CLASSED? "In a sense this Khole horrible conflict has b&cn .- trade war, begun for the extension of trr.de and the means of carring it out a? a .-ource of national wealth and power," says the editor of the X. Y. Journal of Com merce. Was not this extension of trade in the direction of those countries which we're unguarded by rhe walls of protection? Was no? Germany alone increasing her control of the domesuc market of free trade in England? Is not England now taking s--p? r prevent a recurrence of that condition of affairs by po t-inr: back to a --rotec ttve basis? Germany restricted, in many instances pre-
Traveling salesmen are asked to carry less baggage If the wholesale houses do not voluntarily cut down the number of sample trunks sent out with their drummers, Director General McAdoo win enforce some sort of trunk-
rationing system. J Last year there were 24.noo.nrin sample trunks cari -ieet on imnncan r-, i 1 rein rt s Thev constituted ?0 npr cent
I of the free baggage carried. Any reduction of such aj i general burden effects a desirable saving of labor, equip j ment and money. There is a good specific reason, how- j j ever, for limiting the number of trunks. There are no 'longer enough baggage cars to carry them. There are: only 9,700 baggage cars altogether in the country, and n i I reat many of them have been withdrawn and made over ; into dining cars for troop trains. j Th" curtailment is not expected to cause any real : ; hardship. It will merely entail a change of method. In i j -ead of carrying s-o many varieties, a salesman is ex ! 'peced to carry a Tew basic samples with mcMires and' accurate descriptions of the rest. J This is right along th line of another biz change i i :hat is coming about in the art of Salesmanship th--- cur- ;
failment of travel, ne itself. The t r.dor.c;- is mure and: more o seil eoods nor by persona! visitation, bur bv the; use of comprehensive and attractive catalogues, w.th the j free use nf the mails, telegraph and le-n-i cisianeo tlc I piliT-e. i All these innova'. on tend 'o reduce ,he dvvst.d. on trnn-portat ion, and ar therefore de:rablo from mo pub
