Company K and Cambridge Outfit Holding Bridge Alone; Order Revoke Disappoints The following letter has been received from a member of Company K: EAST CHICAGO, Ind., Oct. 30 Co. K certainly bad the greatest disappointment of the whole trip when after having a straight tip that w? were to go home Thursday morning, we recaived word that the order had been revoked. Part of our stuff was packed and some of the boys had written their families, and there was gloom in big gobs all about when the orders were changed. It was raining and gloomy anyhow and the men had been on guard all day and until S o'clock in the evening, our barracks was surrounded with a

sea of mud and water, and everything j

contributed to the "blues". However, we are still hoping that we will get home this week. There is absolutely no reason we can see why we should stay any longer. All companies have gone from East Chicago except Richmond and Cambridge City, and all have gone from Indiana Harbor except Madison and Evansville. We were the last on the ground and it Is natural that we should be the last to leave. When the mail comes In with parcel post packages filled with good things to eat everybody gets in a better humor, for the fellows just open up their boxes and everyone Is welcome. A more unselfish and congenial bunch was never gotten together anywhere, and Company K is making a good reputation for itself. We have fully determined that we are not going to count on getting to go home until we are on the train and the train is nearing home.

house should be $3,500. . No profits will be derived from the venture, as the houses are to be 6old at cost, it was emphatically stated. Strong opposition was manifested to a suggestion to erect all the new houses in one section of the city, and a motion of W. H. Romey, to distribute the homes in different sections of the city as equally as possible, was adopted. Lewis Iliff, Commercial club secretary, called the meeting to order, and Howard Dill, chairman of the housing committee, presided in the absence of Elmer Eggemeyer, president. Will be Independent. Emphasis was placed by Mr. Dill on the fact that the housing campaign was not a Commercial club project and would cot be under the direction or auspices of the club but would be an independent corporation, with offices in the heart of the city, under a separate manager. This statement was frequently reiterated by speakers during the evening. "The Commercial Club merely started the plans for the formation of the

company, which will be an independ

ent body," said Dill. "The present proposition is to the best interests of the city," said James A. Carr, one of the committeemen. "This is a community proposition. We need more houses. We are behind every town in this vicinity in building houses. The proposition ' belongs to the community at large. It does not belong to any one group or individual or set of individuals, but to everybody." Will H. Romey, read the articles of association, which were adopted, the only change made being In article 3 where the stipulation that the money lent to the company should draw 6 which, while understood, was not included in the document. Chairman Dill was authorized to appoint two chairmen to work under the direction of the committee to solicit subscriptions from the merchants and manufacturers respectively. Subscriptions follow: Starr Piam Company, National Automatic Tool Company, American Seeding Machine Company,Adam H. Bartel Co., C. & W. Kramer Co., Richmond Baking Co., Romey

HOUSE CAMPAIGN GETS BIG BOOST AT MASS MEETING

The biggest step In the formation of plans for the erection of new homes in Richmond to lessen the congestion of housing facilities, was made at a citizens' mass meeting, in the Commercial club rooms, Thursday evening. Articles of incorporation for the Richmond Home Construction Company, prepared by a committee appointed by the Commercial Club, wero adopted. Approximately $60,000 of the capital stock of $150,000, was subscribed by 13 of the leading factories and business firms in the city. The South Side Improvement Association offered 10 lots, valued at $1,000, provided that by January 1, 1921, the foundation of 10 dwellings be completed and that one of the directors of the association be made a member of the board of directors of the new stock company. The south side men stated that they would make offers of more ground if the operations of the company were on such a scale as to call for it. The 18 firms making subscriptions, gave $13 for each employee. That is, if a manufacturer employed 500 persons he would subscribe $7,300. To Sell Houses Quickly. The general plan, it was explained, is to sell the houses as soon as thy were completed, and clean the whole matter up within a year. The new homes, while inexpensive, will be substantial, and according to figures submitted to a committee meeting some time ago the estimated cost per
