SATTLT ST a 1XARJK. Jlich.. Dec. 18. All hope for th. Ur.s of 27 men. passengers ajid craw of the tug Reliance, wrecked on Llarard Island, in Wednesday's (ale. vanished today with the finding of two overturned lifeboats, known to have carried the party. There were 89 persons en the The tug-a JTavarHa and Gray, ree patched to the aid of the Reliance, reported by wlreleaa that they were unable to weather the blinding now etorm and gale lashed seas. When laat eeea the men, without food or ammunition, were to.aed over the mountainous seas In small lifeboat. Nine othera of tie. Ul-fated craft are safe. Seven made their way overland to Farther, Ont., ninety miles north of here, after landing more dead than alive through mountainous surf, and came hero on the railroad that serves the district. Two ethers, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Marten, came on the Reliance, are recovering at Farther. Physicians have been rushed there to attend them. They fell unconscious after battling- through waist deep snowo'llfts for 12 miles after landing 'Vednosday noon. Mrs. Haptens waa without shoe;, 'htse having1 been burned off by th lire around which the nine survivors gathered Wednesday noon whon they reached shore. So desperate .was the plig-ht of the nine that aftctho Hartens coilapse, the remaining seven dared not to remain to attend them, fearing' all would die. Thcv TresPd on four miles furth YES HE 010 HIS MS SHUPPIHGEARLY T3o your Xrnas shopping early.'' but be careful In the manner you da It." This was the good advice offered by Chief of Police W. A. Forbls of the Gary police department this morning when he made the above witty notation on tho following report. John Nicholas, 259 Polk street, Gary, did his shopping early, but he used very poor Judgment. Broadway was packed with shoppers Saturday r.lght and the happy throng was a picture of Xmas eiprlt. Among them was John and as he mingled with the crowd from store to fetors, the shoppie bag he carried resembled a full Xmas stocking. John might have enjoyed a merry Xmas and would probably brought Xrr.aa cheer to the Nicholas household, if he had not walked' Into the Tittle Bros, meat market and grocery store. It was there that dozens of, appetizing looking turkeys, duck?, geese and chickens caught his eye. The chickens were smaller and maybe he could get away with one of them. lie took the costly chance and it was but a short time until he was in the hands of a Gary police officer on the way to the police station. At the station the well stocked shopping- bag was found to contain the following: Two sets of ear drops. Thre sacks of candy. Two pair ladles hose. Two combs. One pocket book. One handkerchief. One necktie. Two pair yarn ocka. One rair boys socles. One dressed chicken. BRITISH OPTIMISM ONJIE WANE American Participation in Europe Subject of Pessimistic Articles BY DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! LONDON. Dec. 18. British optimism over the possibility of an American loan to assist European stability began to decline today. Newspapers warned the people against confidence of American participation in the reparations negotiations nest month, much less a loan. It was declared at tha foreign offlce that the United States "has not yet put out any feelers." It is believed that Great Brltian would be the first natio napproached if the United States decided to sound European sentiment, preliminary to definite action. The Pall Mall Gazette printed a story under the headlines: "Cold fit in United States follows Harding's activity." Most of the newspapers agree that the United States is "losing what little Interest it ever had in Europe." It is felt, however, that American help oould be obtained If the European powers would show more Interest In disarmament. The sudden trend to pessimism evidently arises from the warning issued at the White House in Washington that the United States Is not planning any definite move. British newspapera In commenting upon the likelihood of American assistance, dwell upon the commercial aspeots. The Chronlole, the personal organ ct former Premier David Lloyd George, points out t-hat if the United States insists upon payment of the debts owing to her by Europe, bJjo will injure her own trade. Tho Morning Poet, ctlaf dry organ bitterly asalled Former Premier Uoyd Ooorge lna n editorial today. The newspaper declared the former premier was publishing articles In tho United State that m;ds him -Ormaay'n atly." JOHX A. SHITH'S hot dog shack or.

er, and there they came upon the cabin of a trapper named Burseneau. He and hia son told the seven sur vivors to keep on, Frather being .'our and a half miles beyond. Burseneau and tb boy doubled back on the trail, found Mr. and Mrs. Hartens. and half dragged, half car ried them through the great drifts to the cabin. The two lifeboats that carried the 27 unaccounted for came ashore", bottom up, north of the Lilzzard Islands. A searching party from Frather that braved the deep cold and heavy enow found them. A story of unusual hardships and r-rovatlon was told by tho survivors here today. The Reliance, which set out two weeks ago to pick up lumberjacks from camps along Lake Superior, waa forced by the fierce gales to seek shelter in Cargantus Tolnt. Food and fuel was giving out. however, and the captain Mas forced to choose death there or make a run for a pott where supplies could be obtained. Thorugh the blizzard the frail craft fought Its way, then at 9:30 Wednesday morning, the Reliance smashed into hidden rocks off th5 Lizzard Islands. The craft listened to port, and the captain gave orders that it must abandoned!. ltfe boats were launched. The survivors say the iast they saw of the Reliance It was on its port side. They landed at noon, having lost trace of the 27 now believed almost r--rtafnlv lct lone before. REIOS ILLNESS (BY WIXiLIAM B. CAYCE.) f STAFF CORRESPONDENT j. N. SERVICE! LOS ANGELES. Calif.. Dec. 18 "Wallace Reid is suffering from a severe case of Influenza and not from over-indulgence in alcoholics r the use of narcotics."

'tills major trouble was the blood count which was half that of a normal person." tha physicians continued. "Abnormal pressure Is due to two Illnesses. One of these Is typhoid fever and the other Influenza. Every test we made for typhoid proved negative. Hence we have arrived at the definite conclusion that he has influenza. Hla intestinal trouble has been eradicated as he is able to take nourishment now and get fairly good rest. Another indication that Reld has Influenza is the manner in which his fever fluctuates." As to the star'3 condition today the doctors said he was resting easily after a good ntsht and his fever was down to 93 and a fraction degrees. "However, Mr. Reid Is still very weak ibut he has a strong will and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy. Although we believe he has passed the crisis.

INDIANA
TO BE OPENED TO WATERWAY CHICAGO. Dec. IS A large district of northwestern Indiana may be opened to direct waterway connection with New Orleans and other Mississippi river points as a result of the Illinois waterway, work on spring. The Illinois project includes dams and locks to make elxty miles of the Illinois and Das Plaines rivers between LocUport and LaSalle navigatable. It will provide the connecting link between the Great Lakea and the Mississippi. The Illinois river- is formed by the Junction of the Des Flatnes and Du Page with the Kankakee river. Just below their Junction point, at Dresdan island, a lock with a seventeen-foot lift, a dam and a power house generating IS.OOO-horse power, are to be constructed. DAMS AXD LOCKS As a result an immense lake will be formed, backing up the Kankakee for several miles. M. O. Barnes, state waterways engineer, has Informed Governor Len Small that construction of two dams and small locks In the Kankakee will render that river navigable for barges to the Indiana state line, while Indiana has alrrlv mpleted the dredging project to drain tne vast nanKaxet marsnes. giv ing the river a channel nine feet deep for seventy-five miles into Indiana. If tha two Kankakee locks are built bv Illinois, the baree rt-lll then be able to navigate the river to a point south of Laporte, lnd. Governor Small is much interested In the Kankakee project, as his home is at Kankakee, on the river near the Indiana line. The Indiana reclamation project has developed a new farming district whose crops might be conveyed direct to New Orleans fy water, ine jovernor says. TO PASS UP INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! LAEHIXGTON. Dec. 18. President Harding's recommendations for changes In the existing immigration committee declared today. Two factions In the committee. Dear Mn. Thompson t I am eoIng with a young fellow and he says be loves me and wants to marry me, but I am not sure whether I love him. He makes a date with me and if the roads are bad he doesn't com as he lives in another town. When I ask him why he didn't keep his date he says the roads were too bad. but I think he oujrnt to come rain or 'shine if he loves me. When we have little ejuarrels I always get the blues and anxiously wait until the next time when he comes to see if he will make up. Do you think I love him enough to marry him? ' Whose place is it to irive the first Christmas present, the girl' or the boy's? BILLIE. Since you are In doubt about your love for the young man, you may be sure you do not love rim enough for marriage. It eems to me you are most unreasonable and selfish to ernect him to go to see you whn the roads are bad. It is most difficult to drfve in bad weather and there is always danger of Fitting stuck. You may be sure that the young man loves you since he has asked you to marry him. It is ho man's place to give the flr?t Christmas present. In fact it is unwise for a girl tn give mu"w of a present ever unless she is engaged. I would advise you to send a card or Christmas letter or give a book. Dear Mrs Thomnson: When th barn dances were on en I go. introduced to a nice fellow by my trirl friends. From that titrte r he haj always taken me car iidirg and different places and showed me a good time. He said he loved me. and I loved him tha same. He also said I would be his wife someday. He is a nice dresser and he doesn't use dirty language. 1 was with him a good many times alone

Ind Dec. 13 Sixty-three hooded Ku Klnr Irion tmen paraded the streets of Valparaiso last night and were the object of the piercing glances of more than five hundred persons who . braved the cold amtosphere to see I the first procession of its kind in the city. No musical or mhpr demonstration announced the comingof the Klansmen.

One hundred and thirty-seven members of the procession were "cut-off" by a Grand Trunk freight train and were not able to proceed with their brother members. The paraders came In automobiles from Michigan City, Knox and other points, leaving their cars at the fair rrounds. while thsv raratlerl in : Valparaiso. SEES TDLLOW-WHITE WAR NESW YORK, Dec 16.

English lawyer, who sailed for Plymouth from here recently, predicted that a war between yellow and white races Is s"r to comp in a few years. CON and he never acted mushy. He is also good-looking. But he has a habit of cursing and he get drunk once in awhile, but he has never been out with me when he was drunk. The girls don't want me t- k with him. They say that he is tough, but I know better. About four months ago I gave a farty in honor of my girl friend, let all the girls Invite their boy friends -id invited him too, but he did not come until after lunch was served and moat of my guestr were going home. Then he came with a boy that wasn't invitee' an.1 he was drunk as he could be. The girls laughd and said I had "some boy friend." About two months ago my girl friend gave a party and invited all the same boys except mine. I asked her the reason and she 'o.d me he would come drunk. herv the party was over mv bo frien-i found tha he wasn't invl.ed. He tked me why I didn't invite him and I didn't have the heart to tell him what she said and so 1 told him I wasn't giving the invitatiors.

CITIES PASS UP
BOXING
PROPOSAL
! Municipal League An nounces legislative Program. I I.NDlA.VArOLIS, Dec. IS A leg. !s:at!e program, including jro posals for a number of new laws , an.l amendments to some existing sUtutee, was outlined, and approved by the Indiana .Municipal leaguo. composed of mayors, city Judges and city attorneys In the principal citlea of tho state, at a speir.l meeting at tho Iloud Severla J rllyy. The taik of preparing bill3 covering the proposals was left to committees and officials of cities repiese.jted at the meeting. Action also was talren effecting amalgamation of tho public utilities committee of Indiana cltios with the Indianapolis Municipal League. Th utilities committee "as organized in August to oppose rate Increases and dfral with other public utility piobaieni of titles and the merger was perfected v ith a view to avoiding duplication of tiu work of the two organUatlons. -VOT I.V LEACtE'S TKOVINCE An effort by Horace Bowen, city manager of Michigan City, where an arena has been built for the staging of boxing bouts, to have tho league go on record in favor of tho creation of a law legalizing I boxing and tho creation of a boxIn? commission, failed v hen the representatives of the cities refused to consider It. Although the matter was not put to a vote, it appeared to be the opinion of the city officials that the legalisation of boxing did not come within the province of the league's purposes. Cities represented at the meeting were Anderson, EvansviUe. Noblesvllle, Indianapolis, Crawfordsvilie, Muncie. Whiting Gary, Hammond. Sounth Dend. Bullivan Washington Bloomington, Bedford, Kokomo, Terre Haute. East Chicago Richmond and Michigan City. In a discussion of the attitude of the city offlclals toward the Indiana public service commission, it appeared to be the consensus of opinion that the commission should not be abolished, but that defecta in the public service commission law should be remedied. The delegates were of the opinion that the law should be amended so that some of franchise rights which ths cities held before franchises were surren dered would fes restored. BLIND TOTS WAIT Children Are Wards of State School for the Blind. INDIAXAXOLJS. Ind., .Dec. IS. One hundred and thirty-eight children, living under one roof la the heart of Indianapolis, today are awaiting anxiously the oomlng of a legendary person, about whom they have heard and talked much. Dike the other children of the world they have never seen him, but they ll!ev imDlieitly In him. They never have had the joy of crooning over ; his picture but believing is not ee- ' ing. They know the flr.er things of 1 life- rest on the retina of the mind eye. The children are the wards of the Indiana State School for the Dllnd. ti. Tinmnn fa Santa Claue. L Merely because they have liever seen the picture of the kindly old ralnt, added to the fact they have never heard hlfh stir about on Christmas eve, has not served to lessen their faith in his actual being. And if the wishes of the rest of the children, more fortunate than these were no more fastidious, 6a!nt Nick would have an easy time indeed. , A watch with raised numerals, to one eight year old boy would represent tho ninth degree of happiness. A ten year old young lady, would like a "A doll the kind that wakes up." Dittle Harold Blue, 9. who plays the piano, says his Idea of Santa Claus was a "Great big fat man all covered with fur. He "Just squeezes down chimneys." Harold said and added that he had heard In late years he had discarded his reindeers for an airplane. After enumerating his Christmas wants. Harold asked that Santa be sure not to forget Eddie Hampton, Reginald Clifton and Paul McDowell. Led to the piano, the little fellow whispered confidently "Watch my left elbow." When he played, using h'.a elbow for the bass accompaniment, it was a remarkable performance and he had never seen a note. One could not help feeling touched. If ft. Nick overlooks these sightless little ones, Christmas will Indeed be dreary, was the thought cf the visitor leaving the bare corridors where darkness was the eternal lot.
