POLICE ATTEND MEETING HERE OF BIBLE STUDENTS
Indianapolis Speaker Says End of World Is in Sight. "The end of the world la In eight; America is on the verse of famine and pestilence," said H. A. Reller, of Indianapolis, speaking before a gathering of International Bible students at Vaughn hall here Sunday afternoon. County and city officials attended the meeting at the suggestion of the council of defense. It was expected that the speaker probably would criticize the government for its recent suppression of Pastor Russell's, book, "The Finished Mystery." Scarcely any mention of the book was made, however, save that its writer was highly commended by the speaker as "a man of God who went about the world doing good for mankind." Reller came here as a representative of the so-called "International Bible Students' Association," and the topic of his address was advertised as "The End of the World." Propaganda was distributed throughout Richmond the latter part of last week in the form of a publication known as the "Kingdom News." This paper criticized the government for having suppressed
"The Finished Mystery." The meeting was attended by less than a hundred persons. Arrested In Indianapolis. Indianapolis police arrested 20 persons Sunday for distributing the "Kingdom News" about the city, after the publication had been denounced by Colonel Russel B. Harrison, chairman of the Marlon county council of defense, as pro-German propaganda. Those arrested at Indianapolis were elated at police headquarters for the violation of a city ordinance prohibiting the passing of circulars or bills In the streets without a special permit. Commenting on the publication Colonel Harrison said. "It is a plain piece of pro-German propaganda and we will not stand for it here. The council of defense will prosecute all these persons and confiscate all the papers we can get."
Upper Classes of Huns Roll in Wealth; Masses Are in Abject Poverty (By Associated Press.) , WASHINGTON. April 22. Price fixing in Germany has been a failure and profiteering exists everywhere says the April bulletin of the Bureau of Labor statistics. The upper classes are rolling in wealth while the masses are in abject poverty. Not daring to tax the people directly, the bulletin says, money is raised for the war by floating loans. These loans although, taken to some extent by the
wealthy classes, are really paid for by the people who have to pay exorbitant prices. With Imports cut off, the land does not produce enough to properly sustain life. Shortly after the war started maximum prices were fixed on commodities but these, says the bulletin, were evaded by dealers and producers. Regulation of the amounts of the necessities Bold to one customer was attempted but resulted in much illicit trading at high prices with the rich getting the much needed commodities. German government figures show the cost of living to have increased 117 per cent but the bulletin Bays these figures do not show the real facts. Buying has to be illicitly done to get the goods and enormous prices have to be paid.
