JOINS CHICAGO LEAGUE

(By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., March 31. George Perring, 1916 third baseman on the Toledo American Association club, has signed with Beloit in a Chicago municipal league. '

A bill to prevent "baby angels" in movies is before the New Jersey legislature.

(Continued From Page One.l city, Boy Scouts, Saturday Afternoon and Commercial Baseball leagues, Federation of Women's Clubs, Women's Franchise League, and .city and parochial schools. By holding this meeting a week from next Monday evening the various organizations to be invited to have representatives "in attendance will have all of next week to meet; for the purpose of selecting their representatives. Call for Demonstration. Tentative plans call for the holding of the patriotic demonstration in about two weeks, giving ample time for all local organizations to arrange to be, represented in the big pageant which is to be one of the features of the event. It is also planned to follow the pageant with a mass meeting to be held, probably, in the coliseum. At this meeting some prominent speakers will deliver patriotic addresses and an especially arranged musical program will be rendered. At the meeting on the evening of April 9 delegates from the various organizations will fix a definite date for holding the patriotic demonstration

and an executive board will be appointed to supervise all details in connection with the event.

Sub-committees will also be named to look after various features of the demonstration. Mayor Robbihs and President Bavis today called attention to the fact that a wave of fervent patriotism is sweeping all over Indiana and expressed the hope that Richmond's demonstration of its loyalty to the republic would excel the patriotic celebrations which have been held recently in nearly every other city of importance in Indiana. "We want the eagle to scream its loudest the day we Richmond people pay our tribute to flag and country," remarked Mayor Robbins.

The . following, has .been submitted by Hans N. Koll. Editor, Richmond Palladium. A malicious rumor was spread through Richmond and vicinity during the early part of this wee!: that I had been arrested as a "German Spy" in Indianapolis. The report appeared to me so utterly ridiculous that I considered it to be below my dignity to make any explanation that I had not even been in Indianapolis and my many friends in Richmond have given me such repeated and undivided assurance of their loyalty and faith In me, that I can well be satisfied with my standing in the community. However, my good friend, Mr. Milton H. Woolley, of Williamsburg, Ind., had the kindness to call tny attention to the fact today that throughout this and neighboring counties I was naturally not as well known as here in the city, and that therefore, in - order to silence all idle gossip an explanation was advisable. I submit the following: Has Mother in Germany "Having my. good old mother still living in Hamburg, Germany, with her health failing owing to lack of nourishing food such as needed by the aged, caused by the English starvation policy against non-combatants, as well as my two sisters, I am naturally fond of the old home-associations and my heart bleeds at the contemplation of the present crisis. Whose would not? "But can I not be a good son to my mother and a good brother to my sisters in Germany and a loyal citizen of the U. S. A. at the same time? I know I can and I do not even need to become narrow minded in the process! Holds No Prejudice "In our 'South-Side Improvement Association,' of which I am secretary, we have a first-class man born in England as Chairman of our Legislative Committee. Would I find fault with him because he stilLloved his mother in London and the soil she lives on? Indeed not! "So many people do not seem to understand the difference between a critical attitude of mind and a faultfinder or a disloyal subject I hold firmly to the opinion that the best type of citizen is not the one that says

'Yes and' Amen to everything that is done in Washington, but the one that has, if necessary, the backbone to say, 'Mr. President, you are making a mistake.' .- Voted Against Wilson "I, ordinarily a democrat, found myself face to face with that dilemma last November, and I availed myself of my privilege as citizen and voted against an administration I could not approve of, owing to what I honestly considered, its unfair attitude towards Germany and its proneness to British
