SUES FOFTDIVORCE. !len v'tark:nan has broucht suit for divor e in the circuit ourt from Ioiiv s't.i'-km i n. alle'ins: failure to provide ) ,v herelf and th ir two children, eiht and eleven years old. and latitual drunkenness. Th Stackmar; live at l-0 Clyde M. Jude I'unk of tlie circuit court granted an order re'juirinj? the defendant to remain .away from the premises or molesting his wife while the divorce suit is pending. The plaintiff in the action also asks that the defendant he re-

. -trained from disposing of or for- ', closing a mortpa'e held on the resljdenco property until a settlement of the divorce suit is reached. Mrs. Stackman asks for the custody of the two children and proper provision for the support of herself and children. The fouple was married April 1, 1 for,. Baby Epidemic Sweep City; 5 a Day This Week If any one douhts that South liend enjoys a steady growth in population, a growth that is not assisted ly any outside immigration, let this douidin person contemplate the figures relative to the city's birth rat In doir.i? thi.: it will le found that South I5end is replenishing her population at the rate of nearly 1,200 a year. Of course, some of the habien included in the birth rate figures, d not survive, but the death rate is far below that of the rate of babies born in this city, and it may be safely computed that at least 1.--uO citizens are added .to South Hend's population each year, aside from new citizens who move here from other points of the compass. Iiw I'ery Day. In simple lanuuse, thtre are on an average live babies born to South Hend mothers each day of the week, each week of the month and each month of the year. Kive pew babies a day means new ones a week. Anil ?,o new babies each week for a period of fcur weeks undoubtedly means at least J'.O in a month, and Roinp further in this childlike calculation, 12 months should brins to South I'.end l.SOO brand new citizens. Sometimes, however, the average in the birth rate falls off. and the total number of births so far this year is 1,T1. although this number is greater than the total number of t.irths, last year. Present Week llu One. The present week, seems to be a regular baby week. The average of live new arri als a day lias be?n maintained since Sunday, ami according to past performances, the stork will make his usual number of daily visits for the remainder of tiie car. Delving still further into the intricacies of inures', which it is said do not lie, but are sometimes perverted in their use by skillful if perverted manipulators, some interesting, if not useful fart may bo discovered, 'omputin alonjr thj foreuoin lines, and reducing the number of babies born in South Mend in a year, each baby averasinr: seven pounds in weight, it can be estimated that S.400 pounds or over four tons of baby arrived in South Hend since .Ian. 1 of thi.? car, and it is further estimated that the combined cries of this S.400 pounds or over four tons of baby, if properly elongated, be heard distinctly as far east as Berlin. Germany, and he heard in no uncertain manner by one who, for the present, holds the title of kaiser, in protect against the murder .of babies in other lands. It is .said one does nt know to what extent figures will lead him until he begins to hpure. BATTLE WITH OFFICER. Anton Mazurkiewjez. 4K S.

High School Red Cross Bazar Is Brilliant Event They do say that "there's F. crypt in Your Dream Ryes" but it was certainly transported to the hall of the high school building on Friday night, for the fair-faced ladies vended their wares in their booths nd there was lots of mystic music coming through the doorways which led to the "Chinese laundry" and the tea room was a veritable Carden ol Allah, so restful and peaceful and Inviting was it to the tired and 'orn shopper and "tourist." More than Ö00 tickets were sold for the dinner and the auditorium as completely "sold out" for the production of "Capt. Yanderhum," which was splendidly given under the direction of Miss F. Harmon. The vaudeville and the Chinese tau n dry provided lots of fun for the visitors, as did the program of fancy elances and the fortune telling booth. The handcraft, apron, bag, food and novelty booths were centers of much attraction and business during the evening. Many of the lovely articles were sold. The tea room was 1 double pleasure, in the afternoon serving as a means of refreshment and later in the evening being turned into the rest room, a place of quiet and rest. The dancing in the gymnasium from nine until eleven o'clock, attracted many of the visitors who ftayed till the "last minute." All of the flowers were sold and one could not resist the tempting pleas to buy popcorn and peanuts from the pay young misses who went about Pressed most bewitching!- in Yama suits. Certinly not the least, was the attraction the freshmen provided, "the war-dog." none other than the original mascot of South Rend's Co. F. To gaze upon his royal majesty cost everybody one penny. And to be made beautiful, by the domestic science department cost ten cer.i. Taken all in all the Red Cross bazar was a brilliant success. 53 FRO M HERE Will Leave for Indianapolis Next Monday to Take Initial Tests.

EM OFFICER Lieut. Perigord Brings Mesage of Gratefulness From His People to America. That the army of France. the French people and the French nation ,are heart and soul grateful to America for its entrance into the world war; that it gave them newheart and new strength, and that now with America, England and France united, victory Is regarded there as assured, is the message, in brief, that Lieut. Paul Perigord of the French army, I. rings to America as he delivered it at a dinner of the Rotary club at the Robertson tea room last night. The dinner was a special affair, not only the members of the club, but an unusual number of guests being present. Rev. John Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame university, introduced the speaker after a few remarks !y C. F. Wiedman, in behalf of the Clood Will day for the Federation for Social service, and by Boyd White of Chicago, with reference to the work of the French restoration commission. In behalf of this commission and as a means of raising funds for the restoration of the devastated districts of France, the Paulist choir of Chicago, is to ive a concert here on New Year's day. under the Rotary club's sponsorship. Prints Message From Trcncho. Lieut. Perigord is not a stranger to United State, hut had been a professor in one of America's universities previous to the outbreak of the war in 1011, when he rejoined the French colors and his message, he said, came direct from the trenches. He has served as a private and then as an officer in the Frencli army for the past three years, coming to America some six weeks apo by request of Pres't Wilson, to help arouse the French war spirit in American lives. "France never doubted but that the United States would in time see the light and com' to the rescue of democracy agalmt Prussian militarism," said the lieutenant, "and neither did she complain that you were slow in reaching a decision, but when there rolled across the Atlantic that wonderful message of four president, defining the war. placing it on that high moral planthat he did. and pledging the assistance of America to her last dollar a.nd her last man, that the world mlght4he made safe for democracy, there were cheers and tears all over that beclouded but sunny land, and the prayers of all France's millions were for blessings on your heads." Reviews Gorman Atrocities. Lieut. Perigord reviewed the atrocities on the Hermans as no one ran save a man who has seen them at first hand, but with that lire French spirit that showed pity rath ?r than ancrer. He blamed tbe Prussian autocracy, Prussian militarism, and the education bestowed upon the German people and tho Herman universities and schools, more than the German people in their hearts. He pointed to their reversion to barbarism as the outgrowth of their sin of egotism imagIring themselves as the only people under heaven Jit to possess or to rule; imbued with the idea that all other peoples were degenerates, tceak. corrupt and in need of Gernan discipline; determined to conluer the earth and make of themselves the rulers of all peoples. "You have no idea the contempt that the Germans have for the t'nited States." said the lieutenant. "Two of their officers captured by js recently had to to told that the Fnlted States was an oprn ally of France, England and Italy. and then they only laugh d at it. "Why." they sali, "America isn't a nation. It J? only an aggregation of merchants that think enly of dollars. They haven't any ideals. For the t'nited States to talk about lighting for an ideal is ridiculous." Rovtaro German lropaganda. Dwelling upon the course of German propaganda, and its scientific methods, Lieut. Perigord warned his listeners to beware. He charged them to not be unduly harsh with all Germans or Americans of Gerrnan birth, since he believed mot ?f them here in America to be loyal and as heartless toward the fatherland as anyone could be. "but be not over-Indulgent with the traitor, the spy. or the propagandist." he edded, with examples of how they had undermined Russia, made inroads in Italy, and hid tried it even tn France and England even as the gre now trying it in the United States.. Round after rourd of applause greeted the speaker, especially when, as on numerous occasions, he rse to heights of Teat optimism. Re asserted that there was not the least doubt but that the allies would svin the war. "Remember," he said, "you have two capitals now one in Washington and another in Paris, and there are as many American Hags flying over the capital in Paris as there are in Washington." "Some of your boys who are going over there will stay," he concluded, ."but tell their fathers and their mothers that their graves will be cherished by Frenchmen as dearly as though they were the graves f their own. It is a'.I for one great . ause. a true internationalism determined upon the establishment of world democracy as the rule of mankind, and th brotherhood of man as the ruling sririt."
