"We now have practically a complete list of legal voters and we will bein position to challenge any one who has no right to vote.

SPECIAL JUDGE ACTS

Hudelson to have a deed declared a mortgage were heard in the circuit court room this afternoon. The evidence in the suit was given two weeks ago. Switzerland produces more than 3,000 pianos a year.

The conquest of Roumania by the German allies has met with sudden and unexpected obstacles. Just at the time when it looked as though Von Falkanhayn and Von Mackensen would soon be driving against the heart of Roumania the Russo-Roumanian armies have rallied. Both Bucharest and Petrograd reported a check for the Austro-German armies of Von Falkanhayn. The Teutonic attack has been checked, these reports say. Roumania continues the center of war interest. The plight of that country may have been responsible for the unexpected drive which the French have launched at Verdun. By compelling the Germans to re-enforce their lines at Verdun the Germans would be compelled to weaken their front elsewhere. Indications that the Germans may try to launch a counter offensive at Verdun is contained in the French official report. It says that the newly gained ground of the French was un
der heavy artillery fire all night. This may have been a preparatory bombardment for infantry attacks.

in schools was introduced by Mrs.
E. C. Atkins, wife of an Indianapolis
saw manufacturer. She made a preparedness speech which received the
applause of the delegates. Train Boys and Girls Miss Julia Landers, of Indianapolis, declared training in schools should fit boys to enter the army and should train girls to take their places in business should they be called upon. "I heartily endorse the statements of Mrs. Atkins, "said Miss Landers. "My nephew is Adjutant-General of Indiana and I know that a great deal of trouble that they have been having in recruiting the National Guard has been because of the feeling that there is no reason why a few men should bear the burden in defense of the country, ; "We ought to have military training in schools that are financed by the tax payers of Indiana. The time has come when our youths are to be taught that it is not always theirs to receive in this country, but that they should

"I wish to suggest that this body of women remember,' said Mrs. Ida McEride, "that we have on the border now our boys from Indiana, and Is It not due those boys who have gone there to uplift and to defend Old Glory; Is it not due them that we as mothers give them our encouragement and I would suggest that a message be sent to the soldiers of Indian border from this organization that we as daughters are here waiting to know what they are doing and to encourage them in their loyalty, and to always stand by every son who stands by his country and the flag." ,
