Soldier on Border Writes that Villa

Getting Firm Hold

Conditions and a picture of army

life that the boya of the Indiana National Kuard are experiencing are ;ia in a letter from Corporal V. Dailey, Co. K. HL'nd Infantry. In.iana who is stationed at Llano Irande. Texas, tu hi.s sister-in-law, dr:;. Lena Kowach of FUG Liston t.. South Lend. From Corporal ciiley's letter it seems that Villa gradually petting eontrol over iei o and if that is the case there '.ill he fihtin'. The letter is dated Oct. 2. and 'art of it is as follows: "Things ok a little bad for us now. You e the Mexican Kp'eral Villa hates ie Fnited States and we are trying . i;et him. If Villa pets control of . eico we will have to tiht and i looks now as if he would, as he iptured one or the lamest cities nly yesterday, killed 1,000 of Caranza's soldiers, and captured fouren whole train loads of uns and immunition. You see he has a lot in go on now and it looks bad for .s, but if we are to Mht the sooner the better. I think we can make the hair tly if they Just Say f?o. "I am sending you a picture that was taken of our army here at Llano (Irnnde. It was taken about a week ao when (Jen. Funston was here. You can see a white cloud over at one side of the lines that is the smoke from the cannon. Thirteen were fired as Gen. Funston came up. 'We had a parade through Mercedes the other day and the parade, including tlie batteries, machine puns, hospital and signal corps was cif;ht miles lorip. You might like to know how the general could pive his commands to an army eiht miles in length and I will tell you. "We. are all taught to give and receive commands by the use of signals, one of which is the flap:. Different positions of the Hag represent letters and all of the commands are spelled out. Another Is by the Morse alphabet and lights are also used. Most of our drilling is done by signals, certain waves of the arms telling us what to do."

ITSELF OF DEBT Of Republicans

$22,000 Raised by Congregation of First Christian at Sunday Services.

The sum of $22,000 was raised Sunday at the celebration of the peventh anniversary of the building of the First Christian church. The sum is sufficient to wine out entirely the debt incurred in erecting the present building. Six hundred members of the congregation were present at the meeting Sunday at which the amount necessary to wipe out the church debt was raised. The services were under the direction of Rev. (J. I Snlvely of Iviston, 111.,

and the pastor. Lev. J. M. Alexander. J

The First Christian church was organized 65 years au'o. in August 1S.1, with c harter members. At that time $000 was subscribed for the building of the first house of worship on the site where the present structure stands. Lev. Mr. Snively spoke yesterday rnornin on the fundamentals o' the Christian faith. A basket dinner was served at the noon hour by the Pastor's Aid society. At o o'clock Holy Communion was administered and a memorial service was held in men ory of the dead. At the evening service Kev. Mr. Snively spol. on the "Immortality of the Soi;.'."

Tuesday morning promises a fullgrown "Crazy Frank" Lri.ade in South Bend, republicans in uniform the uniform of a buxom white linen badge, inscribed; Republican success is certain. It means prosperity, economy, peace, efficiency, patriotism." More would probably be promised were 'the 3 by S piece of a sheet, big enough to hold it. It was calculated that no light would be permitted to shine on these badges until election morning, but somebody made the mistake of sending one of them to one of the many republitans who are for Wilson, and who regards the inscription as a broken sham.

"Newsies" of all ages and nationalities were up bright and early yesterday 'morning and answered the call of "the olde swlmmin' hole." at the Y. M. O. A.-M'esterday was the tirst swim of the year for the boys and the Newsboy's club was also reorganized. The doors were open at in:;b o'clock atid for an hour they romped in the gymnasium. then took their swim. Following this they enioed a talk and entertainment.

lear of Rupturing i:ntiiv Organization Calws Halt on Probe of Resolution. Due to the intense feeling an.l tho possibility of a break in the ranks of the Harry O. Perkins Camp. No. 23. Spanish War Veterans, the members of that organization did not take further action regarding the i evolution that was sent by a few members of the camp to Pres'l Wllsorv requesting the dismissal of Sec'y of War Faker, because of h;s remarks on the soldiers of the resolution. Saturday night's meeting was one of the largest that has ever been held, there being over 100 o: the members presnt. The meeting was called fr the purpose of irvestigating the conditions that surrounded the sending of the note by certain three republican membera and claiming it to be the sentiments of the entire camp. This fact caused the rest of the camp to get up in arms and demand some explanation for the act. Rut when the camp met Saturday night the two factions were so bitter and angry that it was seen that further action on the matter would cause a serious rupture among the members, and the matter was therefore dropped by both sides.

CONCFRT AT Tl'RNi:il HALL. A concert, the proceeds of which will go to the German Turner Aid society fund was given at the Turner hall last evening and was well attended. The concert was given by the Turner Male chorus which was assisted by Miss Josephine Decker, contralto, Miss Wllda Shonts, violin, and the singing section of the Turn-Verein.

"WK ARK NOT TOO PROFD TO FKJHT" on election day for republican success. "We believe republican success mear.s prosperity, economy, peace, efficiency and patriotism, and propose to go after it accordingly. "To make this victory certain it will require the active efforts of the republican workers at the polls on election day. No one doubts that. The responsibility of the individual worker can not be shifted. It is the duty, of every one of ns to go to the polls the morninir of election day and stay with us until they close. "Knclosed is a badge, which we want you to pin on your coat before you start out of the house on election morning, and wear it all day. You will be one of the 100 thousand men who have on one of these badges. Fifty-three thousand and two-hundred are being sent by this mail in individual letters to individual workers, just as this is sent to you. Every one of these 53,200 men will show their colors on that matter, "and I am confident that every one of the r.3,200 men will go to the polls and work there until night. "In addition to the r.3.200 mailed in this manner to the workers, we are sending some to each precinct committeman, and asking him to distribute them among the loyal workers. "Do not wear this until election morning, but on election morning put it on, wear it from the house, wear It all day, and work all day for republican success. "If you do all this there will be no doubt about the result, and you will have the satisfaction when it is over of having done fully what each know to be our duty. "With kindest regards. I am, .Sincerely yours, WILL H. HAYS.

Evidence at Hand Showing Deliberate Attempt to Cause Shortage.

Direct evidence that railways are deliberately holding up big consignments of coal, not far outside of

South Rend as part of a wide scheine

to shoot up prices and at the same time cause a shortage of cars, and perhaps disparage public indorsement Tuesday of the democratic administration, came to light Sunday. Copies of two orders given to D. & O. train crews bear out the inference. Roth are dated Garret, Ind. and read respectively as follows: C. & E. West. Ieave your P. & R. coal on west siding Millers. Rack it to east end of siding. J. H. JACKSON, C. & E. 223," West. Leave all jour hard coal on west siding Millers and back it to east end of siding. Advise when siding blocked. J. H. JACKSON. Inferences are odious as comparisons, but it is difficult to believe, it is said, that the coal shipments are not being deliberately held up. It is held that possibly the coal is being side-tracked to make way for other freight. Other Roads Doing It. Rut the fact remains that other roads are doing the same thing. It is. to be sure, possible that all have other freight more perishable than mal and needs the right of way. It is known that west of South P.end along the C. I. SL- S. car after car of coal is standing on the sidings. It is repotted that at Chicago Junction two whole train loads have been shunted into a siding within the past 4S hours and 22 cars were set off at Millers on the R. O. Saturday with -more Sunday. A Iake Shore engineer reported that every siding is; stored with cars and train loads of hard coal held until further notice. Since there's a reason for everything thes5 little tricks may account iu part for the high prices South Rend is paying with tlie rest of the nation for coal and finds it difficult to-get it at that.
