rKANCO-PRUSSSIAN VETERANS AND PRINCE OF WALES ATTEND CEREMONY MARKING DELIVERANCE OF DENAIN BY CANADIANS

County Food Administrator Hoy G. arry of Gary has sent out the following notice to all principals and teachers In the Lake county schools: "The Vr.lted States FooJ Administration has set aside the week of December Ind to Sth as VICTORY WEEK. This week is to be observed not as a celebration of the end of the war. but to Impress upon the mind of every man. woman and child in the county, the vital importance of saving loud. ""With the restrictions lifted on flour and sugar, with every farm stocked

with meat animal?! and every granary j filled with grain, this Is not frolng to be ' nn easy task, but with the thought, of ; millions of wonvn and children st irv- j inz- for the wtfnt of food in Kuropo. we ! must again conserve the food ordinarily! wasted.

"AVith the approval of the county I superintendent of schools. and the; school superintendents of the various j

cif.es and towns, I am asking each teacher in Lake county to set aside Friday. December 6th. for the observance of VICTORY WEEK, by patriotic exercise in the schools. With only a limited time and no literature on the subject available, please carry out what you

dietmnt.s against the men. WHAT EEEOD CONTENDED. Mr. Herod coiitf nded that the name of

j th' stitte of Indiana had not been published by the I;e.j amendment proviso. Ihi also declared that a shipment of liq

uor to a person In Indiana for his personal use from another state did not constitute interstate shipment. Judge Anderson held that such was an interstate shipment.

For a while during the morning sesI sion of the court It nppearod as if Mr. I Herod had sounded a contention that might enter into the legality of the liquor Indictments. At the opening of the I afternoon session Mr. nerod and L. Ert

SIak. United States district attorney, argued the points. Judge. Anderson's decision, seemingly at least, knocks the props from under the preliminary defense of tl men indicted on liquor violations. TXNDEB R.EED AMENDMENT. The liquor Indictments are drawn under the Reed amendment of the WcbbKenyon ju t which prohibits the shipment of liquor into "dry" states. Mr. Herod's (h inurrers were overruled in the first two counts of the indictments pertaining to transportation of liquor and conspiracy to violate the Federal laws. 114 PLEAD OU1LTT. Arraignment of 225 persons in 1S3 cases was held b fore Judge Anderson during the day. Most of the cas.g were liquor violations. There were 11 pleas of guilty.

Frank Cross of Hammond, charged!

with violating the espionage ect t making seditious utterance, ptead'-d not guilty, it was alleged be interferre'd with recruiting of soldiers at Hammond several months ago. Anton Kotlar of East Chicago, indict

ed under the sabotage act and charged '

with throwing emery dust in the machinery of the Champion Rivet Company, Indiana Harbor, plraded not guilty. Dan McCarty, Joe Foster, Charles Flynn and Charles North of Logansport pleaded not guilty to bringing liquor into the state. John Murray, Hardy Letcher and Edward Kinney of Hammond pleaded not guilty to stealing whisky from interstate shirment. John Burke of Hammond charged with having counterfeiting tools in his possession, pleaded not guilty. Theodore Plechocki of Indiana Harbor pleaded guilty to offering bribes to Charles L. Surprise, United States commissioner in northern Indian x, and tt. W. Green, an agent of the Department of Justice.

AMALGAMATION TOPIC REVIVED (Continued from page one.) matter may bo submitted to the peopla by soma other plan. A number of possible objections ta amalgamation were presented at the

meeting Inst night but without exertion, among that group of bankers, lawyers, professional and business men and plant superintendents, no one could find any real arguments aanst The adoption of the r'sn, no objection but what seemed trivial in comparison to the advantages of the end sought. One part of the resolution, concerning which It Is desired to get an expression of public opinion, with suggestions that may bo of value, is that part which will tentatively adopt a new name for the greater city. It is generally assumed that thin matter of a camo will not constitute any bugaboo at all inasmuch as the entire population of the two cities nre indifferent to nn appreciable degree on this question just so the big city is not given a name that will prejudice any pection against another. Nevertheless, the committee wants suggestions as to what nam will be best for the city provided th amalgamation goes through. These suggestions can be made through Thk Time or other local papers or direct to th joint committee whose names hava not yet been determined but which will b published in a few days. Wake up. now Hammond and East Chicago and Indiana Harlisr and propose something good, mtmjthing that will be a credit to this great Industrial center, this rapidly growing and most cosmopolitan community, this new city that will surely take Its place nmooa the great municipalities of this coui"
