WEST BADEN, Ind., Dec. 19. Ileal lions, shaggy mane, roar and everything, are going to perform for the benefit of patients at the United States army hospital here, where a special program of entertainment has been arranged for Christmas. Of course there will be other features on the program, such as a Christmas play by local talent, another of the- professional kind, and all that, but a regular soldier like a regular boy, knows that a regular Hon has a regular meaning, so he Is counting on a regular time. Particularly Fierce Now. Not only that, but trainer Swler has announced that the Hons are particularly fierce at this time of year, so noise and excitement are expected to run high. The trainer has remained over In French Lick especially for this part of the entertainment, which will be provided through the courtesy of Edward Ballard, of the Wallace-Hag-enbeck circus. The Hons will perform

'In the big atrium. One of the regular entertainment

features that Is proving, popular with the men is the movie show put on five nights each week by the Knights of Columbus. The atrium, big and round, enables the men to remain in their rooms and see the pictures from all six floors of the building. Boxing will be provided one night each week

i and a professional show for one night. Louise Dresser Present. Louise Dresser, former Indianapolis 'actress and late star of Cohan's Review and Charles Dillingham, New York theatrical promoter, were among those to entertain the soldiers during the last few days. Representatives of the American .Red Cross have begun to make their presence felt among the patients. H. M. Voohrees, recently of Camp Wheeler, Ga., has established communication service and Mrs. Jean Wayne has assumed the duties of matron.

Local Bluejacket Tells of Thrilling Fight With Subs; Saw Fleet Surrender

A. E. Hipskind,- a gunpolnter on the battleship Arkansas, In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Hipskind, describes the surrender of the German fleet. The Arkansas was one of the ships that took part in the surrender. "This letter will be a surprise to you," he writes, "as the censorship has been lifted, permitting us to -write at will. I am in Scotland at the Firth of Forth. We have been between here and the German coast. The German fleet surrendered to us and the English at 9:30 a. m., on November 21. There were 50 destroyers, 10 heavy superdreadnaughts, 10 light cruisers, and 150 submarines. "We went out to meet them and of course did not trust them, so we hoisted our battleflagB three big American flags, one on the foremast, one on the main mast and one on the gaf. The war is over for us now but do not expect to be home for good for about three or four months. "You will remember when the British took Ostend, the Arkansas, New York, Florida, Wyoming and Texas helped to do It We only had a few brushes with the submarines. The narrowest escape we had was coming from the Orkney Islands to the Forth

river. Three subs attacked us and shot two torpedoes at us, one passed 20 feet ahead and the other about 10 feet aft. We sank one of the subs. The three-inch gun on the port side did the work. "It was rough over here while It lasted. Half of the time we did not undress or eat because of this and the North Sea being very rough. I have been in Edinburgh, Scotland, and expect to be in London and Brest, France before I return. It is great to write what you please. We had a wonderful .trip coming over but have seen some real service since then and when I leave bonnie Scotland and England I will be very glad. "Edinburgh is one historic city and I will tell you about it upon my return I am still a gun pointer and sight setter, although my job is not needed because we have no enemy. I have seen English king, Scotish people, the English navy, Admiral Sims and Admiral Beatty, commander-in-chief, and about 20,000 miles of ocean, North Sea, Atlantic ocean, French cruiser and admirals. Have a few things I picked up over here and will bring them back. We were under the yellow flag for four weeks with the flu, but I did not catch.it:"

Made Effort to Settle Threatened Strike

LYNN, Mass., Dec. 19. Work in the Lynn factories of the General Electric company continued today notwithstanding the announcement from the Schenectady and Pittsfleld plants that a general strike had been authorized by union representatives as a protest against the discharge of thirty men In the Erie, Pa., plant. Leaders of the 11,000 employes here said they were trying to bring, about a settlement of the controversy which caused a strike early last summer and for that reason thought it unlikely that any sympathetic walkout would be undertaken without further instructions from Schenectady. Representatives of the war labor board now are in this city arranging the final details of adjustment of the previous strike.

(By Associated Press) KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 19. Trapping and hunting fur bearing animals in Howard county is proving profitable this year. In spite of the fact that the county Is not wba can be called sparsely settled in any sense of the word, one dealer here alone has paid more than $3,000 for furs brought to him. The skins were skunk, raccoons, muskrat, fox and mink. He said the $3,000 was one month's "catch" only. Men engaged in the business of trapping and hunting the animals say their incomes this last fall have everaged around $150 a month. A number of men who have followed the business as a "side line" have made less, but say they are satisfied with the time they have put in. Price of raw skins have more than trebled here In the last four years. INCREASE SHOWN IN

RAILROAD RECEIPTS (By Associated Press CHICAGO, pec. 19. Through statements issued by the federal administration and the interstate commerce commission, the bureau of railroad news and statistics here announced today it is enabled to make an approximation of the average passenger and freight receipts of the railroads in September, compared with the corresponding month last year. The average receipts from passengers carried one mile this year are given as 2.520 cents, from freight per ton carried one mile, 0.929 cents; those from passengers carried a mile last year were 1.966 cents and from freight per ton carried a mile last year, 0.722 cents. Thus the average increase under federal control is slightly more than 28 per cent, in each case.

The bureau points out that tnis computation is confirmed by the fact that the average receipts for the whole country in 1911 were 2.105 cents per passenger mile, and 0.728 cents per freight ton mile, the difference being normal between class one roads and all roads.
