THE FIRST AS USUAL The first of the Lake county cities to go over the top in the Victory Liberty Loan is East Chicago. It has always been the first to go over the top in all the loans. Chairman W. J. Riley and his efficient co-workers have scarcely eaten or slept during the past few days. "I haven't the exact figures," said Col. Riley this morning, "but our quota was $1,290,000 and we are over that figure. I'm proud of East Chicago." Incidentally it may be remarked that the city is proud of Col. Riley and his works. Liberty Loan Meeting Last Night Nipped by Cold, But People Are Buying the Bonds. That Hammoni , ' people understand thoroughly the jCki: of this loan and the necessity f'l??f "tting It over, was the way Chai. J vV. C. Eelman exf lained the low tfvhdnee 'at the mass-t meeting at Liberty Hall last night. Only a fair sized audience turned out and the parade of soldiers and sailors which precteded the meeting was disappointing as just a few of Hammond's lada shou'd up. Mr. IJolman said that returns Indicated that Harr. ond people were in need of little instruction. Dr. J. A. Graham delivered a short talk on condivT'ns as he had found them in France and particularly called attention to the conditions at the American camp at Brest. It was urged that the boys be hurried homo and not be made to stay I in the filthy place longer than absolutely necessary. Sergeant Mooro of the Canadian army was the next speaker. He lost a leg in the fighting and was able to paint some vivid word pictures of things as he had Htn them. Rev. C. J. Armstrong, pastor of the First Congregational church at Gary, delivered the closing address, giving some of the arguments which he and his fellow workers were using in the Gary drive. He showed that while the investment feature should erpeal to all, the patriotic feature should always be held first. In reply to those who refuse and say the war is over. Rev. Armstrong says that this money has already been spent and was instrumental in bringing the end. America's gigantic heaps of munitions pouring into France undoubtedly were reported to the Germans through their spy system. They knew what America had done, they were learning what she could do and they quickly figured out what she would do. Amounts already subscribed in Hammond are of course not accurately known but from optomistlc reports which keep coming in from the workers in various parts of the city it is believed that thirf is going to be the smoothest campaign of the five. MUST APPEAR IN JUVENILE COURT Dick Newell, 20 years old. of Baraboo. Wis., was arrested last night by Officer Elnsele of the Hammond police charged with contributing to the delinquency of a 14 year old Hammond girl. He will have to appear in the Juvenile court at Crown Point. EAST CHICABO CAR STOLEN The five passenger Hub automobile of Thomas Piper, of 4105 Baring avenue. East Chicago, was stolen from Sibley and Hohman street. Hmmond. last night some time between 8 and 10 o'clock. This morning the car was found at the corner of loth street and Calumeavenue, IIami.ic.nd, with all its tires ripped off.

(Exclusive Cable by the X. W. S. an! tlie London Daily Express.) ROME, April 5. There has been a cornplete reaction of feeling against President Wilson in the past 24 hours. There is talk on every side of the "tremendous dis illusionment." President Wilson, on his visit to Italy, was hailed as the savior of humanity, but now he is called "Stubborn and narrow-minded opponent to Italian aspirations." WHEELS A BARROW AND BUYS $1,000 Laborer at American Glue Works Astonishes W. Hammond. Away up in the to? of the factory of the American Glue Co., in West Hammond, a party of Liberty Loan solicitors found Edward Rajewski. a laborer, working like a fiend, transferring material with a wheelbarrow. As he hastened past the visitors John Jaranowskl asked him if he was going to invest. "Sure." he called over his shoulder. "How much?" was asked as he came back. "Without stopping, the man snapped out, "One Thousand." The loan workers looked- at each other in amazement. Then Andrew Stachowicz quizzed him as he passed back and forth. "I said one thousand and I meant It." shouted the man geting a little sore. "Write me up now, and come over to the house after the money ton'ght." he added. Andy filled out his card and yesterday evening received the cash. And he never missed a load. Other employes of thu .American Glue Co.. are responding liberally In the canvass. Superintendent Herbert Lamprell Is highly pleased over the showing of his men and those of other plants with whom the question seems not to be whether they should buy but how much they should buy. The entire campaign In West IJamrnond is moving along nicely and it is beli.Ked that the town's quota of $110.000 will be passed easily. As is the case In other cities, there is little of the spectacular in the drive there. People seem to understand the loan pretty well and little argument Is necessary.

West Gary, yesterday at noun when a Michigan Central passenger train No. 10 struck his truck, horribly crashing his body and scattering the broken pieces of the truck along the right-of-way.

INTEREST MANIFESTED . Ifl CAIL Conslderble Interest Is being: manifested in the Calumet region and In East Chicago In particular. In regard to the proposed route of the Lake Michigan branch of the Erle-Miami-canal. which Is now under survey by the United States government. From Fort Wayne two routes have been tentatively selected from the surveys which were made a number of years ago.

This Is called the southern route. The northern route finds Its terminal at Michigan City. Although the southern route is about thirty miles longer than the northern one, yet on account of less variation In the required levels, the engineers are credited with saying that the southern route, for all purposes, is ,the best.
