Germany Halted Polish Relief is Claim of British international News Servl.e: WASHINGTON. Sept. R. Th British ambassador. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, handed to Bres t Wilson at the white house today an autograph letter from King George of Kngland explaining why Great Britain could not agree to the Polish relief proposal of this government. This letter, it is understood, places the blame on Germany for refusing to give safeguards that the foodstuffs would not be requisitioned for army purposes. Inasmuch as the Phelan provisions authorizing a mails, telegraph and wireless embargo against nations interfering with American trails had been stricken from th revenue bill in conference. the question of retaliatory legislation was not discussed between the president and the ambassador. It is understood that the other retaliatory provisions of the revenue and shipping bills will later be taken up by the ambassador direct with Sec'y Lansing.

"WILSON'S PRAISE Full nf Mnlnfnl onrl Unmonal i um vi iiiifiui uuu iiuiiiauu Legislation Ended All Too Soon. WASHINGTON. Sept. V Pres't "Wilson this afternoon lauded the work of congress during the session just closed and at the same time served notice on the departing legislators that he would insist upon passage of his recent strike prevent, ive legislation program in the early days of the next session. The president issued the following statement: "A very remarkable session of congress has jml closed, full, as all recent sessions of the congress have been, of helpful and humane legislation which constituted contributions of a capital importance to the defense, the economic progress and the wholesome life of the country. "It is to be regreatted that the session could not have been continued longe enough to complete the program recently projected with regard to the accommodations of labor disputes between the railways and the employes, out it was not feasible in the circumstances to continue the session any longer and therefore only the most immediately pressing parts of the program could be completed. The rest. it is agreed, has merely been postponed until it can be more maturely deliberated ind perfected. I hav every reason to believe that it is th purpose of the leaders of the two houses immediately upon the reassembling of congress to undertake this additional legislation. It is evident that the country should tie relieved of the anxiety which must have been created by recent events with regard to the future accommodation of such disputes."

Financing the Indiana Centennial Celebration

The method of financing Si. Joseph county's great Indiana centennial celebration to be held in South Bend Oct. 3, 4 and 5 is in teresting. This is the tirst time this method has been used in this city tor tinancing any public all air of more than ordinary consequence. A celebration was suggested more than a year ago and the Chamber of Commerce got back of the suggestion. When the importance and magnitude of the undertaking were fully appreciated an organization named the South Bend's Indiana Centennial association was incorporated under the Indiana lavs with an existence of one year. The directors are, J. D. Oliver, C. B. Stephenson, C. C. Hauch, E. Louis Kuhns, Rev. Dr. C A. Lippincott, C. C. Herr, A. Frank. Mayor F. W. Keller, George H. Wheelock, E L. Burch. F. L. Dennis." John Henry Zuver, Albert V. Weigel. F. B. Barnes and F. A. Miller. The officers are Mr. Miller, president; Mr. Stephenson, vice president; Mr. Weigel, secretary, and Mr. Burch, treasurer. All serve without remuneration. To nnance the comprehensive undertaking ii was decided to create a guarantee fund of $20,000. A guarantee subscription form was devised which provided that signers would not be holden tor the amount opposite their names until the full amount ot $2o,oou lias been subscribed. In other words if the S20,ooo guarantee could not be secured then every guarantee would be void. This guarantee is simply a promise to pay the amount guaranteed should ic be needed. If "the weather is pleasant Oct. 3. 4 and 5 and the historical pageant on those evenings is patronized as it will merit, which means that every one of 10,000 seats will be occupied, the guarantors of this guarantee fund will not be asked for a cent. On this guarantee fund are subscriptions for S 1,000, for S5oo, for S200 and for SI 00 from persons and tirms whose loyalty to Indiana and whose pride in St. Joseph county have prompted them to act. realizing: that the centennial is to e the greatest public event in the history of the county. It any persons in St. Joseph county are actuated by equal loyalty and pride their names on this guarantee fund will be most welcome and they should at mice notify centennial headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce.
