While the Germans are apparently making every effsrt to expedite their evacuation, workmen are busy at Versailles arranging the palace for the peace conference.

til all the casualty lists are in. people in Lake county , whk.h t,u.y car)nul uttord to ignore. As it is thev do not

who have been, with bated breath, ref.ding the casualty

lists, can offer up their prayers of Thanksgiving 'hat the casualties In this county have been so lipht taking the large number of young men from Lake county at the front into consideration. It is estimated that about 15,000 men are in service from this county land the casualties ars about loOth part of that number. There are some communities in the L'nUed States much smaller than this where the casualties have been twice and three times as many. In speaking of the casualties the Fort Wayne News says: "It stated that while American casualties thus far made public number about 69,0i, in killed, died of disease, wounded and missing;, we may expect the total to aggregate 100,000 by the time all of the returns are in. If it does not number considerably more our country may be regarded as extremely fortunate as compared to our Allies. During the last two months of the war Great Britain was losing in the neighborhood of 40.000 men a week and France fully as many. Their losse3 for the war run into the millions and there is hardly a home in either land on which the hand of affliction has not been heavily laid. "There Is no doubt that certain American military organizations suffered heavily in the fighting at the war's close and occasionally one hears distressing rumors of whole companies being wiped out and of regiments shattered beyond the possibility of reorganization, yet our losses were relatively small. This, of course, is due to the fact that a very large per cent of our men in Europe never participated in the active fighting, still being held In reserve when the hostilities ended. Had the fight gone on, however, we may be sure that before many months our people would have been brought to a stern realization of just how terrible and devastating a war may be. Thankful that we sense this only through our contemplation of the tragedy of others, let us realize our debt of gratitude to those who stood between us and the awful sacrifices which otherwise must have been our portion. And especially should this bear heavily upon our consciousness when we are tempted to boast. This is cerfainly no occasion for indulgence in what is known the world over as our national failing."

THE NEED IS QUITE EVIDENT. A. Bielaski, chief of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, has written a letter to the New York division of the American Protective league urging that the work of that, organization should be'eon tinued. He points out .that the need for protection against espionage has not ended with the signing of the armistice. Bielaski is right. There is more need for protection now than ever. With the lifting of the lid, there is already cropping out a boldness in sp'iaking that is amaz ing. There are people in this country whose pro-German sympathies have led them to make injudicious and unpatriotic remarks that hover near the border-line of sedition. There is need for the exercise of a great vigi lance on the part of the American Protective League (members.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Early last week a Whiting boy was killed while mooching a ride on an auto truck. A day before a Ham mond boy fell under a train while mooching a ride. It Is an odd week in this locality when some child, boy or young man is not killed or maimed by train flipping or car "mooching." It is a practice that should be stamped out, yet many autoists permit it. A great many accidents are reported as the result of children standing out in the street hailine and stop-

seem to be adjusting themselves to changing conditions so as to best serve the community, build up their own business and be of greater service to the government.

Taken as a whole there is no complaint of either the patriotism or the service of banks, but with respect to their savings feature there is a deficiency as to service und lack aggressiveness as to expansion. The gavernment is now necessarily more than ever in competition with savings bank It sells ..-rerty bonds, operates the postal savings system, disposes of thrift stamps and deals in farm loan bonds. In the near future we may expect to see the farm savincs bank, feature extended, attracting still further from rural communities funds to serve rural communities. In this as well as in other belligerent countries the government is a highly privileged competitor and in some lands the course of war has frequently made if. all but impossible for private enterprises. No less a personaee lhan Myron T. Herrick, recently ambassador to France and now having to do with banking in Cleveland, points out the necessity of banks improving their facilities for local service. lie is one of the foremost to point out wherein savings banks are lacking. To Mr. Herrick's advice that banks must hustle and render better service the TIMES would add that at no period in their history is there so much need for them to emphasize their value to the people. It may or may not be necessary for them to raise their interest rate to four per cent, as has been done in soma places, but it would seem that there is need that tlrey teach people to avail themselves of their finely-organized facilities. They must reach the people and the main door to the people is advertising. The government's chief machinery to get money for its needs is the employment of publicity and on a generous scale. If publicity brings results to Fncie Sam it is hardly necessary to point out what it can do for the banks. In gojng out after new savings accounts and encouraging the steady buildine up of existing ones banks will not be competing with the government. On the contrary they will render it aid, and by their encourngemenc of thrift which is more than ever emphasized by the government will enlarge their own resources, make more money available for war purposes and render war financing less of a strain on the community. More punch and more publicity are needed in the savincs banks. There is a wide field for promotion work, and advertising in this connection will never yield such good returns as at this time when the minds of the people are being molded thrift wise.

Work was etnrted today also on mustering out tho men of the 159th depot brigade, at Camp Taylor, who are slated to go. The order received Saturday Instructinx that all men be discharged from the service with the exception of four hwttallons of 1000 men each will be compiled with before the week If out. It is expected the first men will leave'' the camp on Friday. Volunteers w.Tl le asked to make up the four battalions Mated to remain on duty at the camp. This same lnstrtuction applies to the officers also. There are about 400 cfTicers on duty in this organization and the general impression is that few will offer their service.

he had been severely wnunded and in :i base hoFj.iiial fer some, time, but was rocoverinif very nicely und expected to be out at the front again. He was one of the first to go from Ross township.

Oeorjte Klerk, I lobar, of Ft. Benjamin Harrison, spent Sunday with his parents at Hobart.

Amos Cooper, Hobnrt, who Is In camp in Massachusetts, Is home on few days furlough.

Mrs. Myrn Evans, 730 Wood avenue, Hammond, received word that her son, Serct. Gomer I. Evans, Is In the hospital at Camp A. A. Humphreys, Va. Sergt. Evans has had an operation on his throat. He failed in overseas duty on account of a bad throat. As he with the non-combatant forces of the Engineers, he f-till hopes to be able to land in France on reconstruction work.

Mrs. I,. Cobb of Hickory street. Hammond, received word from Washington that her brother. Gorge A.

Joe Grua-el, Griffith, from " Camp Custer, was home Sunday on a fortytwo hour leave. Clarence Hutchions was In town shaking hands with his friends. He is in the best of health' and spirits. He Is expecting to be 'iick to work before many months. :

Serg-t. II. A. Boentler of the Amerl- j can Red Cross Ambulance Corps, has j been released from service ant return- j d to his heme in Hammond on the : eve of sailing for France. The signing of tho armistice spoiled Boender's

Mnny officers of the depot brlaade trip to Europe. Married- men were

at Camp Taylor in expressing their given the. privilege of going over or

opinion of the invitation to remain declared they, were all disappinted at n"t getting their chance to go overseas, so they were ready to go home. Indiana men are still prominenfc in the affairs of the depot brigade, many of them officers, and it can be said that nearly all of them will return to their homes if they get the chance.

KEEP UP LIBERTY BOND PAYMENTSAs an advertisement put out by a Chicago bans says, "It was easy enough to sign your application with the band playing and the flag waving." But the real test of your patriotism i3 the way you keep up your payments." The bank also adds; A signed application won't buy munitionsit takes money. Pay regularly and pay promptly. Then you will learn the valuable lePson of thrift, and after your Liberty Bond is paid for 'fart a savings account in this big, strong, safe getting. The French bread ration has been cut down one-" bank and keep up the thrift habit it's a good . one.

Disrhnrglnar the men at Cnmp Sherman will Ve r.o easy matter. Since the arrival of the order authorizing the discharge of 1 2 ! 1 0 men the authorities have been made to realize that the task Is not going to be a snap. Officers declare that inducting men into the service is a "cinch" compared with discharging: them.

There were seventeen batteries of this sort, and nearly all have signified their desire to be sent back to civil life.

This morning the medical . staff started examinations and the personnel departmen-t started on the final statements and paper work.
