REVELRIES QROERED STOPPED BY BISHOP IN CHURCH MESSAGE

An unqualified condemnation of New Years eve revelries, prepared by Rt.

Rev. Francis Silas Chatard, bishop of

the Indianapolis diocese, will be read

In St. Marys and St. Andrews Catholic churches here Monday. " The mes

sage is contained in the Christmas pasJoral which the fathers will deliver. It is said to be the first message of its ftind ever received from the head of

iih diocese. Th pastoral, follows, in part:

"There is a growing disposition on the part of the people to make the last night of the year one of dishonor to

God and one of grave danger to souls,

Teoplc, and even otherwise good people, imagine that all sorts of dis

sipations are allowed on that night. The modern growing custom of making these last moments of the old year and the first moments of the new one a scene of pagan orgies is a sin and a scandal. Catholics are forbidden, under pain of mortal sin, to take part In these wild extravagances, and parents who permit their young people to attend these scandalous celebrations are guilty of great sin. The end of the year Is the time, not for revelry, but for serious meditation on the end of life, on man's final accountability to Almighty God."

HANG CHANDELIERS AT FIRST LUTHERAN

GERMAN CITIZENS ARE MEYER HEIRS

Three persons who live in Dormstadt, Germany, are named as sole heirs of the estate of Morris Meyer, late merchant. The will was approved by Judge Fox In circuit court today. Under the laws of Indiana, the estate must be left open a year before final settlement is made. In case the European war is not over by that time, the final settlement will be delayed because it is impossible under present conditions to get mail into the warring nation. ; Dickinson Trust company was named as executor of the will. The mother, Mrs. Asalie Meyer will receive tfce proceeds from the sale ' of the Sample Shoe store, 610 Main street, to Sam Fred.

Beautiful chandeliers will be hung

within a few days in the First English

Lutheran church. They arrived to

day. The lighting will be semi-i

direct, about a quarter of the light filtering through big pearly bowls, fig

ured in keeping with the Tiffany rrescoe work. It will take four weeks to set up the new pipe organ, the gift of Adam II. Eartel. Parts arrived today. It will be six weeks before the remodeled Interior can be dedicated.

JONES ATTENDS SESSION

W. O. Jones, county highway superintendent, will attend the meeting of the Indiana State Highway Commission committee in Indianapolis, Friday. The bill which will be presented to the next legislature for the establishment of a state highway commission will be under consideration. PEACE NOTE

Continued From Fage One. cate the possibility of our being forced into the war. That possibility ought to serve as a restraining and sobering force safeguarding American rights. It may also serve to force an earlier conclusion of the war. Not a Peace Note. "Neither the President nor myself regard this note as a peace note; it Is merely an effort to get the belligerents to define the end for which they are fighting." At the White House no effort was made to lessen the importance of Secretary Lansing's statement. President Wilson would make no comment. President Wilson himself on several occasions has pointed out the danger of the United States becoming involved in the war. Because of violations of American rights, he has felt that the United States had a very difficult role to fill. Last February while touring the Middle West in favor of preparedness

and again during the last campaign the

President touched on that feature. In

a speech at Pittsburgh last January he 1

said: "When you know that there are combustible materials in the life of the world and in your own national life, and that the sky is full of floating sparks from a great complication are you going to sit down and say it will be time when the fire begins to do

something."
