NO JOY DELLS ARE RUNG IN BERLIN FOR IT

Erzberger Looks For Amerij can And World Disarmament. BT FRANK E. MASON STAT CORRESPONDENT I N SERVICE "BE RUN, July; 5. Germany is apathetic today over peace wltti America. News that President Harding had signed the congressional resolution finally ending the technical state of war between the two countries aroused no 'Enthusiasm. There were no Joy bells, no flags, no whi.-tles, no cheering in the streets. There was even flag flying over the American "e.nbassy." In the reichstag lobby .satisfaction was expressed over the "technical stat of peace" but 1t was declared no great change in conditions might be expected. The Berliner Tageblatt carried a brief announcement that peace had been restored with the United States. Theodore Wclff editor of the paper, in his weekly editorial, ignored peace completely. The communist newspaper "Rote Fahne and the socialist organ Vorwaerts printed a three line item saying President Harding has signed. There was no cornent. Dr. Mathias Erzberger, known as the "power behind the Wirth govern.ment" calle-d it a "peace without hatred." "I am very pleased to see that President Harding has signed the peace resolution," said Dr. Eriberer to the International News Service. It brings the second era of peace. Versailles was the first era. But new the United States begins the era of actual world peace . " Asked what results he expected from the peace. Dr. Erzberger replied. "I expect three. First, resumption of diplomatic relations; second. tremendous resumption cf commercial relations, and third. American disarmament which means world-wide disarmament. This T believe, is Preslednt Harding's greatest mission. I believe the export trade will be materially assisted. After liquidation of German properly in American the surplus wii! be about $40.000,000 remaining to our credit. We can use this to buy American raw materials to, assist Germany in industrial reconstruction." BANDITS STICK UP OGDEN'S PLACE Clarer.ee Ogden'6 place at Summer street and Kennedy avenue, was visited shortly befnre 11 o'clock Saturday night by a gang of five bandits, who stuck up the place. The Hammond police were out looking for the gang at the time, a report having been received that they had hld and robbed an-.auto on Kennedy avenue. No. !26. Published Statement A. J. SWANSON.

E MAKE GOOD CAPTURE Chicago Police Connect Man Captured With Organized Gang of Auto Thieves. A little luck, couped with a great deal of good detective work, brought about one of th5 most important captures made by the Hammond police for some time. Saturday night detectives Warner and Carlson brought in James Morgan and wife, of 4161 Ellis ave., Chicago, little dreaming at the time that they had in custody a man who had been on the roster of persons wanted bv the Chicago detecj tive bureau for some time. The ChiI cago rolice connect Morgan with an organised sang of auto thieves who have been operating an interstate traffic irf stolen cars. It was reported from Chicago that Morgan had made a statement involving him in the transportation tt many stoien autos to neighboring states frorri that city. Warner and 'Carlson were approached by two men and a woman in a H'Jrson car late Saturday night. The driver, they said, asked them the way to the nearest garage, as they had a flat tire. The pfUceman directed them to the O. K. Garage. Suspicion was aroused when the car later found to be a stolen machine, rassed the garage and continued down the street. The officers forthwith entered the rojice flivver and followed. Morgan brought the car to a halt on Summer, st. and he and his companion removed the extra tire from the rear of. the machine, taking it into the woods. The woman went with them. The tire was fastened in some way with a lock, and not having the key the thieves were unable to unlock it. They worked for some time in the woods, trying to get the shoe loose. Warner remained by the stolen ma chine, watting for the return of the thieves, and Carlson returned to the station for re-enfercemens. In the meantime, the. gang come out cf the woods, and walked into the arms cf Warner, who was on the watch. In the""mixup. the second man escaped. The Chicago police were notified of the capture, and tho prisoners were turned over to them. The owner of the car came to Hammond and claim. Trust Company. . i vr H. 0. REISSIG. Secretary. H. 0.

EAST CHICAGO POLICE LAND BOOZE RUNNERS 144 Quarts bf Canadian Imperial Are Found In Auto Truck Two Arrested. Captain Gould and Ex-Chtef of Police Williams of East Chicago mde some citch yesterday, not fish. for they were out of luck on fish. but boose runners, with 12 cases of cld Canadian Imperial club whiskey or 144 juicy fjuarts of the quality you dpfsm about and very seldom land. The story opens up at the Kennedy avenue bridge after a hard day s attempt to make catches at the tauinet river. While driving across the bridge Tom Williams noticed a loote plank and had stopped his car to adjust the board. Gould and Williams were in the act of relaying the board when a Ford truck with a Michigan license made its appearance. A heavy loaded truck on the Fourth of July looked suspicious to Captain Gould. The strangers saw the law in Gould's eyes and "f'sscd up" To square themselves offered Gould and Williams each a $10 brtbi to forget about the matter. "Nothing doing." said Captain Gould enraged by euc.h an offr. When brought to the East Chicago police station the men gave. their names as Sol Refkin and J. L,. August of Flint. Mich., and said that they were destined to Chicago. The men were released on $2 on rash bond. GRIFFITH Edwin Austgen. clerk at the Erie depot. Is spending his vacation visiting his uncle. Adam Austgen, in Minnesota. The dance, given by the Athletic association at the" town hall Thursday evening, was well attended. At the monthly directors' meeting of the bank Friday afternoon, the books i show a steady gain ii spite of the Didn't Know His Brother "My brother got so bad w ith stomach and liver trouble that when I caw him after a year I didn't know him. He was emaciated and yellow as a pumpkin and w-as often in great pain. He couldn't have lived long the way he was going. Doctors and medicine gave him no relief. I picked up a little booklet on Mayr's Wonderful Rem. edy. which he aid described hia case perfectly. The first dose of it gave him great relief -and in a month he was good as ever." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal trace and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach. liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. Summers rharmSey and druggists everywhere. Adv. 22SS2255E2 rl

pressing times. Of all the checks that were cashed on payday, more than 60 per cent of same were left In th bank on deposit. This ehows that Griffith people save a goodly share of their money. The monthly town board meeting was held Friday evening in the town hail. George Gault had the misfortune to sprain his left ankle and fracture the outer hone below the knee when he jumped from a wagon Friday. The Athletic v baseball team was defeated on the home diamond by East Gary laitt Sunday. The one solace in the stink og defeat, is the fact that M. C. It. R. Agent Wm. Walters, a former Griffith boy, is the manager of the East Gary team. On the 4th the home team subdued the Schererville team. The Ladies' Aid of the M.

AT THE PARTHENON Two well-known characters of his

tory. Abraham Lincoln and Generaii Robert Lee. actually live and breathe again in "The Heart of Maryland.' a Vitagraph special production which opened at the Parthenon theater yesterday for three days. These characters have frequently been impersonated on the stage with various degrees of success. In "The Heart of (Maryland" they actually come to life. The likenesses are Defect and in order to complete the Illusion the Identity of the players assuming the role has been kept a secret. Every move of these two famous men of history has been studied, records diligently searched and compared until the two players in "The Heart of Maryland" are able to register the personality of mannerisms of the men exactly as they were in life. There was not a sober face at the Parthenon theater last n'.ght during the time consumed in projecting the Larry Semon comedy. "The Bakery." From the moment when the comedian's two hands appear from bhlnd a heap of flour bags until tr;e final closeout when the much bemeared. besmirched and bedoughed comedy king ins the fair baker's daughter there is not a dull moment.
