BRAKES OFF! What this country needs now Is OPPORTUNITY, spelled with capital letters and without any periods, pauues or other punctuation. The country needs to have bureaucracy takes Its hands and feet off the brakes. The machinery of industry is ready to go ahead at full speed whenever officialdom will permit It to do so. American builders need structural workers, our factories need operatives, our farmers will need help and must have early assurance that the help will be available. Business men need clerks, stenographers and accountants. All kinds of enterprise needs capital. Everybody needs opportuni ty and when that is granted the nation will enter at once upon the greatest forward movement in its history. If officialdom will release its grasp upon labor, capital, and enterprise, the initiative, energy and Intelligence of the country will do the rest. .

WHY IS IT? Word from men in army camps to their relatives in this county show a great deal of dissatisfaction because of conditions there, and a number of the boys have complaints which deserve immediate attention. One Hammond man writes home that he is nearly frozen. He

says that the government nas issued no winter unuerwear to the boys, who are suffering in consequence. He .maintains that there is a studied attitude of indifference on the part of army officials to these complaints. He bought a heavy suit, but is not permitted to wear it in camp of course, and says it would be no use to buy a heavy- overcoat. If it were not for the wool helmet he received from home he would suffer as the nights are extremely cold and the boys are sleeping in tents. It

boys home at the very earliest opportunity. It is a shame io keep them in service any longer than Is absolutely necessary, and one wonders if the government has forgotten all about these boys who went to serve their country..

PERSEVERE!

The war is over, but partisan, sectional, extravagant, inefficient administration is not. If you want good government, you must keep eternally asking for it.

CAMP CHAPLAINS. When our citizen soldiers were first gathered into camps and cantonments in this country, there were, of course, not enough army chaplains to provide the new troops with church services and religious instruction. Camp commanders were therefore authorized by. the War Department to accept, in their discretion, the services of ministers who volunteered to visit the men -a the

camps and preach to them. At the same time, all the

churches, of every religion and almost very sect, united

to cooperate with the army authorities in training and

selecting their best priests and pastors, ministers and clergymen and religious leaders, to wear army chaplains'

uniforms and give their services to the soldiers here and

abroad.

Now, it has developed that some of the volunteer

camp pastors have taken advantage of the situation in ways that must be checked. They have been guilty of

"proselytizing," of circulating "insidious propaganda," and of expressing "Indiscreet sympathy with disloyal and dissatisfied enlisted men." The War Department has accordingly decided that within three months after July 2i, 1918, the services of camp pastors shall be limited to the properly accredited camp chaplains who wear the army uniform and whose loyalty and responsibility are known and guaranteed. . The order barring unauthorized religious workers from the camps has brought a protest from a small section of the sectarian press, although that order was first submitted to the Committee of Six who advise the secretary of war upon reliigous matters, and also to the Commission on Training Camp activities, and approved by

i both. The objectors declare that the order "strikes at

J the root of religious liberty." With a rare misunder

standing of the situation, tney complain that the government is "trying to prescribe what soldiers should hear and believe." And they are being encouraged by those pro-German sympathizers who have been so busily stirring up religious differences and sectarian strifes in this country, in order to impair our national unity and set.

i us fighting each other instead of fighting Germany. I , The order is plainly an exercise of necessary ruilii tary authority, of the simples sort. It is directed against j no religion, any more than the order that only military

medical officers shall practice in camp is directed against any school of medicine. It strikes at religious liberty no more than the proscription of . unauthorized orators in camp strikes at liberty of thought. It was necessary for the maintenance of military discipline, for the protection of the camps against German agent3 and German propagandists and for the military control of the military areas. The only persons who could reasonably object to it would be the disloyal and disaffected who find themselves shut out from an opportunity to Instigate disloyalty and en courage disaffection where these would be most dangerous to a successful national defense.

"Nothing but decisive defeat, with conditions intentionally and wholesomely humiliating, can teach a people so universally deluded and wrong-headed as the. Ger mans.

LAND FOR SOLDIERS. What shall be done with our soldiers when they return from the war? There will be hundreds of thousands

of them filled with a new spirit of adventure and dissat

We still have plenty of land that can be made available for settlement. There are perhaps 15,000,000 unused acres of irrigable land, scattered through the West and Southwest; 60,000,000 acres of swamp land, mostly in the East and South, that could be reclaimed for agricul

ture; and 200,000,000 acres of available cut-over land

A tatvMirnt I. on foot In Valparaiso and Porter county to Rive all returned soldiers their old-time positions back, and a meeting has been called for Friday night of this week to formulate plans, the meeting to be held in the Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce rooms.

Capt. H. J. White, medical reeerve corps, writes from base hospital. Camp Greene, Charlotte, N.' C. to Hammond friend. ' " ; . '

the front, but is doing a very necessary work. His letter wa dated Nov. 2nd.

Adalph E. Drtnitt, 172 Claude mt., Hammond, has arrived over seas, according to word receivedby his parents. He was formerly stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison.

r era a p. no man in Lake rou.tr tried to get in the service more than Ir. Roman Ostrowgkl of Hammond, and certainly none did more active work In prosecuting the war from & real standpoint. He wa about to realize his ambition when the armistice was signed and" had even purchased his uniform for the rofdical

reserve corps.

Many S. A. T. C. men are beKlhnlns to come home from various universities. Some of them do so with keen regret as they were 'paid 130 while In attendance at the colleges and feel that they cannot afford to pay for a college education.

X. K. Williams, agent for the Michigan Central at Furne.sville, wa yesterday officially notified that his son. George Williams, of the U. S. infantry in France, quite well known In East Chicago, wa wounded on Nov. 3. A week ago Mr. Williajn received a letter from his ion In which he stated that he hod been shot in one of Jbl shoulders.

Irving Cbayken, enlUted Tlmea reporter, writes on October 24 from the front, stating that he had met Eddie Wels. a Hammond boy while on liaslon work who had Just shot a Hun sniper while on patrol duty. A longer letter from Irzy may be expected, he eays. when he gets more time to write.

j "I am real busy nowadays."' says Chayken.

C apt. Mnrry Wll.on, of Hebron, well known in thia county where he has relatives, in the gas service arrived in New York about ten days ago and Is now In Hebron visiting friends and relatives. He Jiad been in France about a yea and was sent back with three others to Instruct in eleven different camps, but before they began their work their orders were called. With the demobilisation of the army he is uncertain what hi next orders will be. Since going into the service his mother ha. moved to Hammond.

Basil Smith, of Crown Point, who has been a member of a Red Cross unit In Chii-ago and in camp at Camp Scott for the past several months, arrived ome the first of the week with an honorable discharge from Sound Beach. Conn., where he had been for several days expecting to go overseas. It was a real disappointment to him when informed that the trip had been given up after getting to the Atlantic coast as he was enthusiastic over the prospects of doing his part overseas.

D. Melville Brenner, Whiting, who has been at the Great Lakes alnce 1 enlisting, has now been sent to the navy yards In Philadelphia.

He chooses His own instruments to drive the lesson home. This is the plain duty before- us, and maudlin sentimentality at this tim is worse than treason. German tears are near the surface, but they are the poorest possible evidence of contrition. That may come In time .but we can at least secure rfor.ie measure of reparat'n. and even of permanent reforrr '

Gulf states. The development of this area would provide homes and prosperity for enterprising pioneers, and add immeasurably to the nation's wealth. It would be a task worthy of returned crusaders. The thing to do, as Secretary Lane insists, is to begin now and form a compre

hensive plan.

Will Surprise of I,owelI. relative of U. S. Commissioner Charles Surprise, who has spent the past thirteen months training to be an aviator, is at his home in Lowell, being th second in this vicinity to receive his discharge. Will passed considerable time at Kelly Field, Texas, Camp Hempsted on Long Island and attended the ground school at Princeton university. He has made several flights with Instructors and says that ordinary straight flying is not very exciting, except when the air is bumpy, a It Is the stunts, loop-the-loop, etc., that give them the thrills. Will Is a flne example of the best that the Yank have produced and looks and acts the part.

One hundred end thirteen officers from the depot brigade at Camp Taylor were discharged from the service yesterday. Major Forrest Bradon will be retained, as his services service cannot be dispensed with at this time. The largest payroll In the history of the camp is being distributed the payroll for the period before the armistice was signed was $2,203,093.09 and the finance department has been paying out $70,000 a day since the armistice was signed.
