How France Has Been Fed “Before the war, a distinguished French Officer, General Maitrot, wrote a series of articles in the ‘Echo de Paris’ to warn France, that in case of war, the French meat industry would be unable to supply the ♦ French army in the field with . fresh meat, —owing especially to the lack of modern refrigerating plants and of refrigerating transportation,—and too, owing to the deficiency in the national herd.” “Since the war began the French army has never been short of fresh meat, thanks mainly to the prosperous condition of the American meat industry, and too, to the American live stock breeders.” The foregoing statement was made by a representative of the Allies now in the United States. Another representative of the Allies said recently: “that the American packers have been of the greatest possible assistance to the Allies andhave, by their efficient cooperation, contributed in the utmost degree to “the successful prosecution of the war.” Swift & Company,U.S.A.

SI;? ffiigmtur femur ESTABLISHED 1800. By W. C. B. HARRISON Published every Tuesday and Friday and entered in the Postoffice at Ligonier, Ind., »ecou J class matter. WIN THE WAR So desparate has become the republican situation in Indiana because of the pro German tendencies of its leaders and the constant and continued catering to the disloyal elements, that the Indianapolis Star on Wednesday of this weeK kicked over the traces and read the riotact to the republican organization and candidates. In a long editorial, with a four line heading, this republican newspaper takes the leaders in Indiana to task for their pussy-footing and even goes so far as to accuse the organization of copperheadism. Starting in on the attitude of some of the grand-fathers a half century ago the editorial, like all well regulated hornets, has the stinger in its tail. After summing up the deplorable situation in which the republican leaders got the party at its convention, the Star concludes with this bald statement of facts: “If the republican party of Indiana is to abandon its attitude of unfinching and effective prosecution of the war to a complete and overwhelming victory, in favor of a timid and trimming policy toward the German vote, then it deserves to lose the election and it probrbly will There is no difference between a democratic copperhead in 1865 and a republican copperhead in 1918. ‘Win the war now' should be every man’s motto. The only criticism that is good for anything is one that will show us how to win it quicker and make its results more permanent and sure.”

For the state organ of any political party ro charge its leaders with co.perheadism is not a light matter and would not be done unless political affairs were in desparate condition. This outbreak, however was bound to come, as persens familiar with state politics well knew. It was not a sudden spasm or a case of getting rattled, but was the result of a series of events dating back to the republican state convention and even before.

Ordered to Depart Joe Hartman, of Albion, bridge carpenter for the B. & O. railway has been under observation for some time by his fellow employes, who suspected him of being a pro German, says the Kendallville News-Sun. He was born in Germany, and although he is said to have deserted from the German army, he has “leaned” toward Germany too much to suit the red blooded Americans who worked with him. Complaint was lodged against him by a fellow worker, and he was taken to jail at Garret and his case investigated. His offense was not considered sufficiently serious for intenment, but hs was ordered to leave the county and stay out and to keep his mouth shut in future. Maurice Sisterhen Promoted Word comes from Camp Taylor that Maurice Sisterhen has been promoted from second to first lieutenant in the officers reserve. The young man is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Sisterhen of Ligonier and his many friends here will be pleased to learn of his advancement. Miss Alta Yerger spent Saturday and Sunday at South Behd. Mrs. H. E. Smith, went to Hammonh, Friday to spend a few days with relatives. J. S. Weaver, of Topeka, was in the city a few days on a vacation. He went from here to Wawasee to fish for a week.
