GERMANS LIVING IN ALSACE SHOW DREAD OF FATE

Anguish at Leaving Provinces Expressed by German Residents Unable to Understand French Sentiment. (By Associated Press) STRASSBOURG, Wednesday, Nov. 27 Several hundred thousand Germans in Alsace and Lorraine have begun to experience suffering which equals, if it does not exceed that which the Germans have Inflicted upon the natives during the past forty eight years. A great many of them who are holding public offices find their occupation suddenly withdrawn. Many others who were employes of the public administrations, are living in daily fear of discharge and the necessity of leaving the country. In addition to these apprehensions, the Germans feel real anguish at the idea of leaving Alsace and Lorraine. While the Germans succeeded in giving newer parts of towns like Metz a Teutonic architectural aspect and have given German tone to town life, as far as they participated in it, those Germans who immigrated or settled there as functionaries, or merchants have themselves undergone mental modifications. They now strongly prefer the two provinces to Germany. They have ceased to be German but still have not become Alsatians. They have not acquired French culture because they have lacked the necessary social contact with the natives but they have forgotten some of their German ideas and have grown to highly regard Alsace and Lorraine and be solicitous for their future. Treated With Consideration. "It is not French rule that we dread," said the daughter of the first German station master to arrive In Lorraine after the war of 1870. "It is the native population that will not accept us. We do not dislike them, and for my part I cannot understand why they do not like us, after all we have done for them in Improving their towns and bringing German culture among them." 1 This lack of comprehension of the attitude of the native population in the provinces is general among the Germans, who have seen only their own life and appear to be ignorant of the great moral suffering of the native inhabitants during the past fortyseven years. The people of Alsace and Lorraine, however, show feeling only toward, those who have had a share in the responsibility for the harsh treatment they have endured. Toward all others they are remarkably considerate and the few incidents that have developed so far in the changed situation are traceable to cases of undoubted use by the Germans of power they had over the native population. BULLISH INFLUENCE ON CORN MARKET (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO. Nov. 30 Rural disinclination to sell has exercised a bullish influence in the corn market this week, and especially . so after word came that food relief for Europe would be organized on a broad humanitarian basis. Compared with a week ago, corn quotations this morning varied from c off to 3c higher, oats ranged from c decline to 2c advance, and provisions showed gains of 10c to 62c. At first, the fact that cold weather pointed to larger receipts had a decidedly weakening effect on the corn market. Announcement that Argentine corn was beingi, shipped to Belgium and that South Africa was shipping heavily to Great Britain, tended also to depress values here, but was offset later by rumors that speculative short selling of corn might be put under official ban. Then evidence began to develop that farmers were adopting a hold-back policy, and the market yesterday swung upward in earnest, with the trade taking special not of reports from Paris that help for food distress in Europe would be furnished in every possible way. Oats were governed mainly by the factors that ruled corn. Upturns in provisions seemed due to a large extent to the fact that shipments were much in excess of a year ago. WILLIAM SIGNS Continued Frorr. Page One. certain parts of the country but they have been restored to their former condition from the last harvest. Since October they have not been touched. There should be no famine in Germany this winter, It is said, if strict rationing is enforced and stocks are methodically and regularly distributed among the different states. The first of -the 150,000 railway cars which Germany must deliver to the allies under the terms of the armistice, arrived yesterday at the frontier and were received by military authorities. An American who has just returned from a trip which extended as far as Frankfort, Germany, says that the withdrawal of the German troops, under direction of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, is being conducted in a most orderly manner everywhere, despite reports to the contrary. This man is familiar with military matters generally and says that, from his own observations, he believes the withdrawal Is being carried out perfectly. Another American who has returned from Germany says that on Wednesday he passed German troops all day. The columns he says, were in perfect order and there was the usual number of officers with the men. He believes that reports that the Germans are disorganized are based on a few isolated cases where individuals or small groups have caused trouble. Arrange to attend the nearest farmers' institute or short course in your neighborhood. A great deal worth while practical ideas can be taken home from every one of them.

Social Service Bureau to Make Drive For Clothing

A drive for clothing, bedding and shoes will be made by the Social Service Bureau December 4 and 5. The committee in charge la composed of Mrs. Demas Coe, Mrs. Paul Ross and Mrs. James F. Hornaday, chairman. An unusual number of requests for bedding and wearing apparel have come to the Social Service Bureau during the past month. The demand is due, in a large measure to the epidemic of influenza and other sickness. Whole families have been stricken. In many homes the income has ceased and in others it has been greatly reduced. Yesterday the General Secretary received a note from a woman who has six children recovering from influenza. The father deserted the family some time ago. The note said in part, "I need some bed clothes awful bad. We sleep cold at night You know we are not able to eet bucui. a f 1011. nao luauc iu a uuuic in which the father, mother and six children were ill. They do not have sufficient bedding and clothing to keep warm, and clean. In another home a mother and three children were found sleeping in one bed, using coats for covers. The main support of the family, an eighteen year old girl, has been ill and unable to work for three months. The Bureau's supply of sheets, pillow cases, towels, gowns, etc., has been exhausted. Many cases are known to the Bureau where women are trying to keep CHILD IS SHOT BY "UNLOADED" GUN Helen Boomershine, the 11-year-oli daughter of A. H. Boomershine, 909 North Sixteenth street, was accidentally shot this . morning by Harvey Smith, colored. It is believed she will recover. Members of Jthe child's family told 'the police that the shooting was unintentional and that no blame was attached to Smith. According to the story told by the child's parents Smith had come to the house to borrow some bread for the boarding house where he is employed as caretaker by the Austin Construction company. He was showing the revolver to the children at the J Boomershine home when it went off, striking the little girl. Smith said he did not know the revolver was loaded. The bullet penetrated the child's left side. The girl was taken at once to Reid hospital where an operation was performed. Physicians say she will recover. Civil Service Body Cites Richmond Case The Indianapolis News Prints the following dispatch today from its Washington bureau: WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The National Civil Service Reform League in demanding reorganization of the civil service commission, and in substantiation of its assertion that the commission manipulated eligible lists so as to enable the Democrats to get the appointments, directs attention to .what took place at Richmond, Ind "There were eight rural routes starting from that city," says the league. "The. majority of the carriers on these routes were Republicans, and had been in the service more than five years. When it was announced that new rural routes were to be established. C. B. Beck, the Democratic postmaster, who had received his appointment on the recommendation of Finly H. Gray, the Democratic congressman from the district, received letters from the department. Instructing him to discontinue routes Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, naming the carriers who were to be discontinued, and establishing four new motor routes, lettered A, B, C and D. Congressman Takes Hand. "The postmaster stated that after the examinations for motor carriers for these new routes had been held, and the eligible lists had been prepared, the congressman came to him with thes3 lists and conferred with him as to which of the men certified in each case should be given the place. As a result of these conferences and of Mr. Gray's recommendations, four men were selected, all Democrats. "To see how these changes worked in individual cases let us take the example of the carrier, Joseph Peltz. He was admitted to the service on competitive examination in 1909, being the highest on the list and passing with a record of 97 per cent. He served faithfully. The postmaster himself stated that Peltz was an efficient carrier. He furnished his own automobile with which he distributed the mail on his route for a salary of $1,200. He was dismissed to make place for two Democratic supporters of Congressman Gray, who divided the route between them (with some other territory). Statements a Mockery. "Yet he and all the other dismissed carriers received from the government a little book of instructions in the conduct of the rural delivery service, in which Section 11 states: 'Politics or religious affiliations of applicants are given no consideration nor are political indorsements entertained. The merit and qualifications of the applicant and the good of the service are alone considered.' Section 17 states: 'A rural carrier will not be removed except upon written specific charges with the postoffice department, of which he shall have full notice, nor until he has had an opportunity for defense.' "Under such circumstances these assurances of the government are a hollow mockery." Elmer Taylor to Be Buried at New Paris Funeral services for Elmer K. Taylor, who died in camp, will be held Sunday afternoon. Short services will be held at the parlflrs of Wilson, Pohlmeyer and Downing at 1 o'clock. A firing squad from the Automobile Training Camp will accompany the body to New Paris. The Junior Order of the United American Mechanics will hold services at the grave.

The use of automobiles for collecting the donations has been given. If persons having anything to contribute will telephone No. 2050, some one will call at the home. INTENSIVE EFFORT IN W. S. S. DRIVE URGED IN STATE INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30. Indiana is in the midst-of it3 most intensive effort to avoid failure in a war financing campaign, according to. an announcement here today by officials of the War Savings campaign. Between this date and January 1, the people of the state must rally once again to the financial colors if they are to keep the Hoosier war record 100 Percent perfect. With a quota of $58,000,000 to raise for the current year, Indiana has taken and paid for only $46,000,000 in War Savings Stamps. Probably $10,000.000 additional has been pledged, but these may not be redeemed in many instances. Thus far Indiana has not failed in any war finance enterprise. J. B. Oliver, of South Bend, director of W. j S. S. sales ror tne state, is maKing an eleventh hour effort to arouse the people of the state to their duty and their opportunity during the next thirty days. The work will be speeded all along the line, evenr in counties where the quota has been subscribed and distributed. Special efforts will be made in such counties as have not : taken their allotments. Will H. Wade, state director of sales for the Liberty loan, has joined forces with Mr. Oliver in this final attempt to distribute in Indiana the state's pro rata of War stamps. Mr. Wade and Mr. Oliver have just completed a two weeks' tour of Indiana intended to arouse the interest of those financially able to buy additional stamps. Governor James P. Goodrich and Michael E. Foley, chairman of the State Council of Defense have joined in an appeal to the people to buy the stamps. Indiana and Ohio are the only two states east of the Mississippi river that may make a perfect war finance record by taking the full allotment of Stamps, Mr. Wade states. The plan of the governor to name a historic commission which will" write down for posterity the state's war record is expected to prove a stimulus to laggard counties in the stamp campaign. Counties lagging in the stamp drive, which are to be urged to make their percentage 100 include Lake. Allen, Vanderburg, Madison, Vigo, Clay, Spencer, Parke, Marlon and others that have done equally well in other drives. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. Dingwerth Funeral services foK Karolina Dinewerth-will be held from the home on the Middleborough pike Sunday morning just outside the city limits. Services will be private. Burial will be in the Lutheran cemetery. Friends may call any time. England Establishes New Currency for Russia (By Associated Press) LONDON, Friday, Nov. 29.

French Mother Writes to learn Character of American Suitor MARION, Ind,, Nov. 30. That all French mothers are in no hurry to rush . their daughters into marriage with American soldiers, as has been the common belief in America, is evidenced by a letter received by Mayor Elkanah Kul.'ey of this city from Mine.

FOUR PORTS TO RECEIVE SOLDIERS WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. Boston, New York, Newport News, Va., and Charleston, S. C, are the ports the war department now plans to use for the return of the army from overseas. Even with this wide distribution of the strain on port facilities and transportation, however, and with German ships now idle in German harbors employed on the task, careful estimates show that the last of the army could not possibly reach the United States in less than eight months. Conservative calculations, upon which prparations by the department probably will be based, fix ten months as the minimum. HOGS SHOW BIG PROFIT. MANHATTAN. Kan..
