EXECUTIVE BODY DIRECTS AFFAIRS FOR STATE BANK Stockholders of New Institution Put Business in Hands of Committee Headed by Bockhoff. At a meeting of stockholders of the new bank organization last night, an executive committee was elected to handle the affairs which come up until the permanent organization. W. P. Bockhoff was elected chairman. The other members are Ebon Louck. Lee B. Numbaum, Hans Koll and C. W. Jordan. The new bank probably will open for business on January 4. The executive committee will secure a permanent or temporary location and report to another stockholders' meeting which will be held Monday night, and arrangements will be made to lease the rooms. Several locations which are considered excellent are under consideration. It is said both the Romey Furniture store and the Mashmeyer store at Eighth and Main streets are being considered. In the case of the latter, the lease held by Mrs. Mashmeyer is invalid if she disposes of the business and some hitches may be encountered in dealing with this location, they say. It is rumored the new bank may secure an option on the Dickinson Trust company rooms in the South Eighth street building. If this deal goes tli rough a temporary location will be secured until the trust company moves into the building at Eighth and Main streets. Almost all of the stock is sold. At the meeting last night nearly all was represented by the holders in person.

At 11 o'clock a sermon will be preached by Rev. H. N. McNemer, who served for teuj years as pastor of the church here. The service will close at midnight with a consecration service. BOND REPORTS $400 FROM STAMP SALES Ueports received by Dr. S. Edgar Bond, who lias charge of the distribution of Red Cross seals in Richmond, indicate that the sales will come up to those of last year, which amounted to about $400.00. The estimate is based largely on the report received recently from Mrs. Schal'k who has charge of the sales conducted by the Domestic Science club. Many of the district schools throughout the county have been active in selling fhe seals, and two of the schools have sold $15 worth of stamps. Dr. Bond said that Indiana now stood fifth in the United States for the number of seals sold, and that a great deal of competition had developed all over the state. Shoemakers are placing seals on the soles of shoes they repair, bakers are placing them on loves of bread, and manufacturers are using them on machinery shipped out. The last report received shows that Ft. Wayne is leading over cities In the state in the number of seals sold. JOHN K, RICH AGAIN, .REDEEMS FAMOUS CHAMPIONSHIP BELT John L. Sullivan. John L.

FRENCH ATTACK SEEKS TO DISLODGE GERMS

Allies Consolidate Positions East of Arras and Bombard Lines in Eastern Suburb of St. Laurent Where Hand to Hand Fighting Is in Progress Anglo-French Troops Make Slight Gains South of Ypres Menin Road in Flanders.

BY LEASED WIRE. PARIS, Dec. 18 The offensive operations of the allies in northern France is becoming more marked and the attacks of the French, British and Indian troops all the way from Warneton, on the Belgian border to the river .Oise, have become more violent. In West Flanders the Germans have been making fierce attacks in futile endeavors to recover lost ground along the east bank of the Yser canal, between Dixmude and Nieuport. South of the fores de'Houthlst and south of the Ypres-Menin road, the Anglo-French forces have made slight progress. The Germans have been compelled to evacuate trenches made untentable by the French and British artillery. Near Zillebeke, Klein Zillebeke and Vanvorde, " between Ypres and Menin, the struggle has cost heavily in human life. French Close In. Along a line stretching roughly near Bisehoote Lancrmarck and Soonebeke artillery duelling is in progress, punc- ! tuated with infantry charges. The I French are consolidating the positions i they have taken up east of Arras and are bombarding the German lines which lie now in the eastern suburbs of St. Laurent (three miles from Arras). The Irench forces, which reached the western suburbs of St. Laurent, took possession of the houses and hand-to-hand fighting has been in progress in the streets there. The German artillery Is bombarding both St. Laurent and Arras. The fighting in this region lies in the basin of the river Scarpe along the the Arras-Douai highway and the Arras-Lens railway. Attack and counter-attack are in progress around Bahaume and Peronne, where the French are increasing their pressure against the Germans with the use of fresh troops. Let Belgians Flee. The Germans holding the Belgian coast have given the Belgian residents permission to flee following the ! death of a number of non-combatants ! in the bombardment of the coast by ' British warships. Hitherto able bodied Belgian men had been held by i the Germans and compelled by the invaders to help dig trenches. The following description of the Mrs. Eulalia Campbell, of Elizabeth, N.

fighting around Wytschaete, in "West Flanders, has been received from Stomer: -1.1 "The British attack was made at night. The German sentries were taken by surprise and seized before they could give the alarm. Indian troops were used for the purpose of creeping forward in the darkness and seizing the German sentinels because of their adeptness for this work. Rapid fire guns were then turned upon the German trenches. Illuminating bombs were fired by the artillery and the battle was lighted up by these shells and by burning houses and hay ricks." IS RUBE A GIANT OR IS HE A FED? Rube Marquard. Will someone please tell Rube Marquard whether he is a New York Giant or a Brookfed. Rube recently signed a Brookfed contract. The Giants raised a howl that Rube belonged to them. The Feds then said they would return Marquard if the Giants could prove he was bound to them by contract. Thus far the Giants have ignored the Fed offer.

COMMITTEE REJECTS PLANS OF HOSPITAL Suggestions for Place to Treat Tuberculosis Call for Heavy Expense. The plans for tuberculosis hospitals have been received by the committee appointed recently by the county commissioners to investigate conditions in Wayne county. Dr. A. J. Whallon, chairman called a meeting of the building committee last night consisting of John Melpolder, S. Edgar Bond and Frank Burr in addition to the chairman. The two sets of plans were not satisfactory to the commitee. The prices are $7,000 and $15,000. The cheaper is a two-story building somewhat crowded and the $15,000 structure is considered too costly as it spread out over more ground than is necessary. As a result, one set of plans will be modified and the other amplified to produce plans for an airy two-story building. Dr. W. F. King, assistant secretary of the state board of health met with the committee and explained the plans. The committee will meet with the county commissioners before the first of the year. The meeting will be held as soon as the new plans are ready. Frank Burr is going over the plans. A beautiful package of high grade chocolates.

MOTHER OF MISSING PENCE TO ATTEMPT TO RECOVER STORE

Walter Pence, better known as "Slim." ia being Bought by Mrs. Emma Stonecipher, his mother, of Cambridge City, Herbert and Paul King, purchasers of the cigar store at 405 Main street, and bis sweetheart, a seventeen-year-old girl, with whom "Slim" has been living for the past few weeks. Pence sold a cigar store be purchased from Everett Sullivan some time ago for $750 to the King boys of Chester at a loss of almost $400. The transaction began and ended Tuesday and the new owners took possession. Tuesday afternoon "Slim's" uncle from Manchester, O.. came Into the store in response to Mrs. Stonecipher's request and said he was going to work for Pence since Mrs. Stonecipher doubted her son's ability to conduct the business. The uncle was informed that Pence had just completed the sale of the business, and almost $400 in cash was in his possession. Asks Police Aid. Mrs. Stonecipher applied to the police for help, saying she mortgaged her home in Cambridge City to buy the place. She gave her son $730 in cash and he paid the entire amount to Sullivan, about $200 more than the stock invoiced at a high figure. Pence has been drinking heavily lately and re fused to stay in the place. He has of-! fered several times to sell for $400 and when he saw a chance to get the cash from the King boys, reduced his price. The new owners refused to state the ! amount they paid for the place. Attor-! neys have been retained by all parties ! concerned and it is said that Mrs. j Stonecipher can recover the store. In j event this is true, the Chester young j men have been swindled out of their; savings. Pence has had a career as a "bum.'" He has roved from coast to coast. Last February he was brushed from a freight train in Mattoon, 111., by a block ; signal apparatus and his legs were j cut off near his body. Returning to ' Richmond he took up collections from . time to time to buy a pair of artificial i limbs. He lived off the money and has never purchased the limbs, it is j said. . Pence left Wednesday night with , Jim Temple. Neither told where they j were bound.
