Outcome Hinges- On General Elections To Take Place Tuesday. MVTE RNATIONA1. NEWS SERVICE LONDON, Feb. & Whether the Un'on of South Africa will remain an Integral part of the British empire or secede and become a self -governing; republic is the momentous outcome which hinges upon the general elections which will take place in South Africa next Tuesday. Official circles are following the dramatic electoral struggle with intense interest and the colonial office frankly admits that the retention of the Union r-f South Africa in tho British empire is more seriously menaced .than ever before, even in the days of the Boer war. The chief contending1 parties are: Nationalists, led by General Herzog. who desire complete independence of S"tith Africa. Imperialists. led by General Jan Christian Smuts, who desire to remain as aji Integral part of the British empire. Both sides claim victory. General Herzog- says he Is confident that the nationalists will have a "safe ,maJorlty" in the. national legislature, while General Smuts Is more specific claiming a majority of at least 20 seats. Dispatches from Capetown and Pretoria say that the campaign Is beingwaged with unprecedented virulence. Secessionist feeling- has been lashed to Jury, especially among the farmer (lasses. Many African farmers have never forg-iven England for smashing the Boer republic. Nationalist orators are making- fiery speeches denouncing the British "for causing the deaths of thousands of women and children In detention camps during the Boer war." General Beyers, who is leading the rationalist cause in the Capo province, declared that, if the nationalists get control of the government they will refuse to send a delegate to London to attend the Imperial conference In June, This, added Genera! Beyers, would be the first step lu sundering all ties binding the union of South Africa with the British empireFORD NOT NEEDING E Declines Offer From New York Banking Syndicate Today NEW YORK, Feb. 5.

HOOVER
SOUP MEAL APPEALING Two letters have been written by a prominent member of the "Invisible Guest" Committee which are expected to make Charles G. Dawes and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, men of national prominence, the guests of Hammond on the occasion of Its most unique banquet next Thursday evening. These letters are expected to get the desired results although both Dawes and Landis axe very busy men anil in great demand. It is expected Uiat only the worthiness of tha cause and the great stimulas that it will be to the effort to sell 1,000- tickets at $10.00 each to aid the Hoovier campaign that could possibly induce these men to appear. The remarkable appeal that the proposed banqust is making to the community is indicated by the fact that by ten o'clock of this morning, within twentyfour hours after the distribution of the tickets for sale; three of the committee of seventy were back after additional tickets. When these 1.000 Hammond citizens are finaly gathered together in the biggest charitable enterprise that has ev-t-r been undertaken in Hammond; the question is not going to bo, "How much did you pay for your ticket," but there will be a scanning of faces to see who is missing from about tho board. In this enterprise all men are equal. Xo man's head is above anothers. The man who pays $10.00 for his seat at the banquet table is as worthy as the man who pays $100.00. "Save Starving Europe." is to be the slogan. Letters have been sent out to ministers of the gospel nil over the citty and announcement will be made from every pulpit tomorrow. The arrangements are now practically complete for what is expected to be the most notable gathering that Hammond has ever seen.

He had taken a patient to thi Psychopathic hospital some time be'ore for observation by specialist When the hospital heads were ready o recommend that the patient be sent to a state Institution. Chief Nits had to appear In the county court to testify. In pajt years he had frequently appeared in the court and fo-und only a ordinary amount of business to occupy the court's attention. Generally the bulk of the day's work was clean--d up by noon. This week when he attended court he was forced to wait hours into the afternoon because of the rush of business. He made inquiry of one of lh. attaches and was told that a Jarge oart of the people who were brought before the judge for admission to. state Institutions were victims of moonshine. On that particular day 54 men iind 6? women were disposed of. The majority of these were negroes and in nearly every Instance the infirmity was traced to the "white lightning," which the victim had purchased of bootleggers. Cities of the Calumet region have had onls- a few cases of insanity, death or blindness, which were publicly announced as due to alcoholic poisoning, but it is known that a number of deaths' laid to other causes were th"i result Indirectly of moon shine.

Hospital facilities of the public health vervice were taxed to the limit before the war. Laporte said, and since the re'turn of American trops troni abroad , they have proved inadequate. It has i been almost impossible, he declared, to provide proper medical trea'ment for all tho patients who have been thrust upon the service. "The public health service, " ,a!d Laporte. "has only t o ho.'pita's which are modern In their equipi"ent and afford ample facilities for treatment of soldiers. One Is located at Johnson City. Tenn.. where one thousand tuhercular patients are betn? treated. The other is at Marion. Ind. wb,rc one thousand insane etcruns a- being cared foT."

"While they liavo been quartered in some sixty-four so-called hospitals scattered tlirougho.it the country." he continued, "the vast majority of these institutions arc nothing but fire traps remodeled hotels and abandoned barracks. At the present time the service is rendering aid to some 21,000 diseased and lr.uinvo rctcrans, and this number H In ing increased by at least l.rtn0 per month. If you have never tried tho experiment you may not know that it is a very difficult problem to maintain 1.000 beds under a single roof. ;, that is what tho puhiic health service i is being called on to do at present." j SAYS HUSBAND DESERTED HER From Emaus.
