SHOW THEM WHERE YOU STAND. We hope you haven't a short memory, u

there's one organization in Hammond that deserves better of you than that- There was not a body of men in the city who during the war -with Germany for

nineteen months of it stuck better to a self-imposed task than the Orak Shrine drum and bugle corps.

mat tass was to keep the city stirred with martial

music on all possible patriotic occasions. Money could not have hired them to do what they didNothing but love of country, love" of home and loving the boys who went to war could have prompted them to turn out at all times of the day and in ull kinds of weather, some of it so cold that their lips cracked when they blew- their bugles; some got so hot that sweat ran down their backs. In rain or snow It made no difference; they marched with the various volunteers and draft units who left the city to fight the Hun and there were scores of these delegations from Hammond. West Hammond and East Hammond. In all the various Liberty loan drives and war drives, in all the patriotic demonstrations and parades these buglers and drummers turned out as a matter of simonpure patriotism. They gave up their minstrel shows and their entertainments because they didn't want to make merry when the boys were dying oversea?. They asked no credit nor glory, no reward for their sacrifices. They were just content to do their duty as they saw it, whether it was in Hammond, East Chicago or Gary. The war is over. Th members of the Orak patrol, drum and bugle corps are going to Indianapolis to take part In the big ceremonial. They want to do credit to the city and to the region. In order to pay the expenses of th trip they have engaged the De Luxe theatre for a week to give a series of high class picture shows better shows were never given there thin they ara giving. Out of the net proceeds of these are any they will defray their expenses some .rf them for uniforms they wore out during th war. They are not begging. They are giving good returns for the money they ask in admission, and we think it would be mete and just and a fitting sign of recognition if everybody in Hammond who could afford it would drop into the theater some time thl.s week and be entertained at one of the Shrine picture shows. The boys deserve the patronaee ani recognition. Now, don't they?

THE CITIZEN-SOLDIER. The citizen-soldier it is he upon whom the country depends in the days of Its greatest peril- The citizen easily becomes a soldier when the war is on and the soldier easily becomes a citizen when peace returns. There is a beautiful harmony in the two situations. They are as concordant as two delicate notes in a love song and they melt into each other like an heroic melody. We must never let the glory of war outshine the glory of peace. If there is any difference it must be the other way. And now the war is over the fine transition of the citizen into the soldier must soon be reversed, and it is this which constitutes the victory. So let's hurry to our work and be a soldier-citizen as we shove the plane, follow the plow and strike with the hammer

raent. Workers should be up and doing all the time- They should throw every ounce of energy and zeal into the canvass that there is in them. It won't do to lag. Strike while the iron's hot. Early reports arc encouraging. The people are taking hold. They have come to a realization of what a magnificent investment Uncle Sam is giving them and don't fear they won't be wise enough to see the advantage of four-year Taper bring them 4 per cent interest. This will be the last and the premium issue of the whole series of bond issues. There is every prospect that the grabbing up of these bonds is going to be spirited and that some reopeople who put off their purchases until the last moment will find that they are too late. Grab them while the grabbing is good! You feather your own nest while you do so and you are showing Uncle Sam the color of your patriotismThfs newspaper is so enthusiastic about th Victory Loan that it is eager to put every ounce of Its enthusiasm into the drive.

DIDN'T. WET HIS BOOTS. A man mounted the base of the monument in Toledo on Sunday, "We'll use Memorial hall this afternoon if we have to wade through blood to do it!" he shouted- A policeman grabbed him and he was thrown into a patrol wagon. The man who essayed to speak next also was arrested. So ended the Debs protest. There was no wading through . blood. Buffalo Express. It is extremely unfortunate for men who wish to protest that they have to make threats of force and blood This i3 a pretty sane and rational country. It is on the whole pretty well-behaved. The I- W. W., Bolsheviki and radical socialists who try to force their doctrine down the throats of people and who preach force and disorder are sadly mistaken if they think they are going to get anywhere with that sort of talk. This is a free country, but it isn't Russia nor Is it France in the days of the revolution. The working class in this country gets treated pretty decently and it knows it. It loves order and liberty and it doesn't propose to let these flannel-mouthed wind-jammers dictate what they shall and shall not do. The Buffalo authorities took the right step. The patrol wagon is the proper vehicle to dispose of the man who talks about wading through th blood of American citizens.

IT WILL GO. Confidence and team work will accomplish anything Fear and working at cross-purposes will destroy anything. These are the basic principles of the game of baseball. These are the rock-bottom principles of all manly games and all business undertakings on a large scale. Faith and unity make strength! The French patriots of 1TS9 adopted a till of rights of man- Then the factions began to pull and haul this way and that. There was distress and anarchy, like the conditions prevailing in Central Europe today. What they needed was a great rallying cry a great central faith to which all the people should pledge everything "Ca Ira!'' "It will go'." was the slogan they adopted. It became the universal declaration of the faith of every French patriot in the principles of liberty. Fraternity and equality Faith and unity! With that rallying cry in their ears and on their lips they met the invasion of the "coalized kings" and redeemed the country from the evils that threatened with out and within Faith and unity make strength! "Ca Ira! Ca Ira!" it will go! And it did go oy and on to victory! Faith and Unity will put over the Victory Liberty Loan Confidence and team work, in the lingo of the diamond, are what we need right now. No player who "grouches" and talks defeat or "hangs crepe" can play with the team- One man of the nine who thinks defeat can lose the game! Every loan worker must think in terms of victory. Victory for the Victory Liberty Loan should be the single thought of every man and woman In the organization. "Ca ira!" It will go! should be the slogan and the rallying cry of faith and victory for every worker! Victory is certain. Failure Is impossible if all loan workers plunge Into the campaign with the glory of victory In their hearts and the shout of victory on their lips!

DON'T DELAY ANY LONGER. j It warns the cockles of a true patriot's heart to ee how the people all over the United States are' taking to the Victory Liberty Loan But we are not as must Interested in the stories of this city or that! city going over the top as we are in the news of the I drive's progress in Lake county. j Lake county ha3 an enormous amount to sell to . h?r people. Nearly five and a half million in dollars ' worth of note? must be disposed Df before the drive t ends- That isn't a lot of money, but it is by no mear5

too big a sum for the district. Lake county will buy its allotment but it will take a lot of hard work. No one can afford to lie down on the job for a single mo-

IS IT ANY WONDER? Word from Washington is to the effect that the first carload of gifts to the Wilsons from Europe has arrived at the White Hou6 but will not b unpacked until the irrlval of the distinguished couple for whom they are intended, says the Fort Wayne News. That's very fine, but what we would all like to know is just how these gifts are going to b accepted- No one has set aside the constitution of the United States for the benefit of the tV'ilsons and unless it is set aside, it is impossible to Bee how the President himself is going to break over the line. It will be recalled that Preident Roosevelt adhered so strictly to the m! that he declined to allow his daughter, a White House bride, to receive a present from on of the princes of Europe, he holding, very properly, that the gift was really in recognition of his office and. therefore, not to b considered. President Wilson, however, absolutely without warrant, accepts scores cj valuable presents, and suffers his wife to do the same, from the kings, princes and foreign states, in direct violation of the letter and spirit of our federal constitution- Ts It any wonder that when the head of the government thus flouts the law of the land that we find others doing the same?

THE PASSING SH0W

IT is said that United States mail Is being carried to Alaska la Japanese ships under contract with the United States government. If so. what has the United States Shipping Board to say about it?

MUCH of the present government expenditure may not be doing the rest of th nation any good, but it is keeping a lot of deserving Democrats in good humor.

WM'SJ

SOME day people who have BEEN betrayed by their leaders FOR persoual preferment will become aware OF the fact and THINGS will change.

EVERT once in a while we seem to hear OLD von Bemstorff laughing BUT we may be mistaken at that. MONET talks BUT nowadays we are lucky enough IF we can hold it long enough TO hear the first syllable. WELL. It's an 111 spring wind that DOESN'T show a ueat SET of ankles. MAN arrested for carrying whisky as gramaphone records WELL, thass right. It's pretty noisy stuff. WE sometimes have our moments of DEFRESSION when we feel that the time may come WHEN the esteemed neighbor women WILL be an asset only FROM the paragraphic standpoint. AN Argonne soldier is candidate for GOVERNOR of Kentucky FIRST time he ever ran. ABOUT speeding up the world league IF they don't hust!j there won't be A'T world to league. A NEW society has been started in the Army of OCCUPATION one of our friends writes and Its MOTTO is "Coot Mlt Uns"

Suppose that for one cent you could insure the quality of your cake, biscuits, etc., wouldn't that be real economy? Well, one cent is about the difference in the cost of a whole cake or a pan of biscuits made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder as compared with cheaper baking powders made from alum or phosphate a trifle, indeed, to insure the quality and wholesomeness of your baking.

SOMETIMES we can't for the life of us figure out HOW some teachers do anything else BUT give singing lessons FOR It beats us how anybody pays them for the Instruction.

Soldier Boy Writes from Virgin Islands

Another Pens Letter to TIMES from Ehrenbreitstein, Famous Rhine Fortress.

Two letters from different parts of tha globe reached The Timxs today. One is from one of the Lake county hoys in Uncle Sam's newest possession, the Virgin Islands, and the other is from one at Lhrbreitstein, the famous Rhine fortress. Both will he of more than ordinary interest to our readers: 7KOM Sr&O. BE T.T.AMY. KAJOCOHD. Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas. V. I.. U. S. A., April 13, 1313. Editor Times: Ab almost all of th other boys from home have been writing I just thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know that I have been receiving The Times regular axd It sure does cheer a fellow to get the news from home wheu he Is away. I have noticed several leters from persons all over the earth but none from here so I will try and tell you what kind of a place It Is. It la not so bad. Just like Palm Beach, nice weather all the year around and the swimming is great. The natives here are almost all educated and can sing any of our songs and they know the national anthem of all the allied nations. I would like to suggest a few things that would go along good with most of the fellows if we do get the memorial building In Hammond. If they have a large swimming pool in the basement and some locker roms for the ladies and for the men and shower baths, then some turklsh bath rooms, then In the gymnasium have balconies for the observers. Then on a separate floor have a large room to he rented to lodges and for dances and have a stage at one end for home talent shows and have balconies. This Is to help In the upkeep of the building. Then on the top floor have all rooms furnished by lodges, stores or persons as a memorial to be rented to fellows for dens, money to go for the. upkeep of the building. I am as Interested In th building as the boys who are already discharged and ara enjoying1 the health of a civilian as I expect to be there, to help In the near future. Let me know when my subscription expires as I want to resubscrlbe If I am still here. Respectfuly yours. SGT. T. O. BELLAMY, TJ. S. Marine Corps. Schlght. Pltn.. St. Thomas. V. I., via New York. rXOM C?X OIOSOE, KAJOSOXD. Fortress of Ehrenbreitstcin. Germany. Editor Times: Our regiment Is holding down the largest fort that Germany has on the Rhine and Us most famous. The Times is the mo8t welcome visitor I have. While reading "The Watch On xThe Rhine" by the 3rd Division I am sending you an article which expresses the feeling of the "perlod-of-the-war" men. I would like you In Lake county to remember that a lot of the boys didn't wait for the draft. The 2nd Division to which I belong has a lot of Indiana men. We fought In the five deciding battles of the war and are ready for

more. CORPORAL C W. GEORGE, Bat. C, 17 F. A., A. E. F., A. of O. Here Is the article I want The Times to publish: WHAT TEX BOYS THINK. Much has been written In recent editorials concerning the valor of a certain portion of the American Army. Glowing tributes have been paid in all the leading papers throughout the- United States, to the different National Army and National Guard Divisions. As a volunteer, I wish to state, that In all tho?e various articles, not one mention have I seen made or have I ever heard of a single pen turned to depict the life of the men. that In our estimation, have made victory possible in so short a time for the American nation. For the above reasons, I would like to ask for the privilege of a space In your paper, to place before the American people the grievance of the men who answered their President's call, before the draft was ever ready for execution, thereby perfecting and making possible one of the first fighting contingents for overseas service. Between April 6th and the time that expired before the draft was perfected. President Wilson in behalf of the American people Issued a call for a half a million men. These men silently left their respective positions, some very lucrative to answer the appeal, not as the now "would be tooted" heroes, left; filled with pomp and glory, led by the dignataries of the municipalities and state, but silently and singly as all true Americans should have done in order to say that they rightfully upheld their County's Honor. Do the American people ever stop ti consider what the feeling of the country would be at that time, if the appeal of our president fell entirely on silent ears? Do they realize the credit due the men, that made such a thing impossible, then in the name of Our American Republic we demand what is ours, a right namely. Justice. Do the American people ever stop and consider that the tid of war was turned by the volunteer divisions on the 16th of July, 1918, when they fhet and defeated for all times, the pride of the German army. (The Prussian Guards) on the River Marne? I am also safe In saying that the volunteer divisions have left more dead on the various battlefields In Europe, than any other division in the American Ex. Forces. Now, the question arises in the minds of many: We have done our duty, to our country, and we were told before we left for foreign lands, that we would not be forgotten, but the fact remains that WE ARE FORGOTEN. Immediately after the armistice was signed, the political champions, representing the various states, began pulling strings to get their own men home, forgetting every sense of duty to the soldier In general, and catering to Both' Jng but the next vote, in their wlla

rush to et th men from thtr

t&te home. They either deliberatsty at else thru some grave oversight forcotf the men that wer tb rst maM the sacrifice. What can the p!rit cf-eut 1 dead, think of such base neglect en th4 part of our American atatasraan. ta wards their comrades who wera fort nate enough to live thru thcaraageT Do the American peopla tak lntsj consideration, that wa all hav homaaj fathers, mothers, wive or rweetbeart and just as anxiously awaltlajr our ra turn as the other soldiers? Do thi realize that we have as much at ataka; as much to look forward to, as ragards our home-coming, and, as good: Indus tries and positions awaiting our lnvn mediate attention, as tha other soldlerat Then, why in the name of varythlng that Is In keeping with the spirit oj fair play, should the volunteer be, fi!e4 out in order to stay for an indefinite period, without even a fixed dat fo their sailing, and without even consult lng the men as to the desirability ai such a move?
