TRUSTEE WILL GIVE SEEDS 10 THE POOR

RUMOR OF EVACUATION

County Official Applies to Government for Aid in Garden Work.

In accordance with his j!.ui to aid people to aid t hcmseivt s, Tru.sU-c (Jus Klintrler has made application to 11 p. II. . Harnhart and Sen. 15. l Shively for a lilcral supply of K-ir-dcn sttds for distribution anions the worthy poor. The plan to do this was formulated .several days uko by the trustee and it is believed that if the unemployed an l.e aided in railn early tranlni truck it will mean a. saving of hundreds of dollars for the poorer families of th city. Trustee Klinuler is h artily in favrr of the sti'i?estin that t lie vacant lots of the city lc utilized for Kardeniritf purposes. He. believ s that the one s ife and sane way in which to aid the poor is to give them every possible opportunity to aid themselves. If the uround can be provided the trustee believes that he will be aide to Bipply all of the. necessary garden j-.cel to those who may be unable to buy. There are now many more applicants to the trustee's office for work with the ity than it has been possible to accommodate. The trustee proposes to cooperate with the various i hat itaLle organizations of the city in the observance of a "Handle day" for South llend. T. Hyard Collins, superintendent of the New York West Side Juvenile club, and formerly of this city, has written to Mrs. Frances Lane, secretary !o the trustee, giving information concerning the "bundle day" whieh was held in New York with much success. It is proposed to follow the same plan in South Head as has been followed in New York and other cities. The purpose is to secure all of the discarded ami surplus clothing in the ity which could be used to advantage by the needy and to distribute this clothing on "bundle day." This form of charity, it is pointed out, is one in which nearly every person can have a hand with little or no attendant sacrifice.

FALLING IRON KILLS FATHER OF ELEVEN

Joseph Grontkowski Victim of Accident at Oliver Plow Works Tuesday.

PAKIS. Feb. IT. I'resistent reports that the (Germans have evacuated stend are shown to be fale by oliicial dispatches from the front today, stating that a small British squadron is bombarding the Merman troops holding that Belgian city. The French have strengthened their position in the Champagne region and there is good ground for the belief that a part of the British army has reinforced the French in that district. The French. who captured some trenches in that region have beei able, to hold them despite the vigorous counter-attacks of the Germans.

In the forest of IiPetre. to

notth of Font A Mousson, French tillery destroyed some German fensive works. The woods were on lire by exploding shell and Germans had to abandon some

their works because of the tire. It is now known that the fighting in West Flanders on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday was more violent than was first believed. The British lost heavipy In the bloody assaults made by the Germans against the English trenches. Fierce hand-to-hand lighting took place in the British field works in which the men on both sides fought like demons. Shouting "for the fatherland" the Germans drove against the British lines in a series of smashing- drives, minding the showers of bullets no more than if they had been hail stone?. Once inside of the Knglish redoubts the Germans fought with the bayonet or swung their ritles like war clubs. The English fought gallantly, but they could not withstand the furious attacks of the Teutonic hosts. The English were compelled to fall back but later delivered counter attacks with an aggressiveness and spirit which equalled the assaults of the Germans. Artillery duels are reported from the Oise, Aisne and Meuse valleys.
