I PEOPLE HEAR JACKIE Bill Great Lakes Station Sailors Here to Boom Liberty Loan Campaign 5750,000 County's Report. The (Jrtat Iakes Military band, composed of 3 Jackies, appeared on the court house steps ami in the high school auditorium last night In connection with the third Liberty loan drive. Ten thousand people cheered them, a capacity jindier.co at the high school auditorium and a throng which jammed the space in front of the court house. It K-a;; originally planned to have th Jackies play at the court house, but on two former occasions inclement weither intervened and spoiled all the carefully laid plans, yo after a consultation of the members of the committee on arrangements, it was decided to hold the batriotic rally at the auditorium. The evening's program was scheduled to start at S o'clock, but long hefore that hour every available inch of space at the high school was Idled with a throng of people who had come to hear the famous Jackie band play. Judge Funk lTeIdcs. I.ed i,y Iandmaster l.ee Neutheus they inarched upon the stage and played "America. ' It was enthusiastically received and as an encore, it. was played again, the audience pin sins ami the band playing. Judge Walter A. Funk, acting in the capacity of chairman, made a few intiodwctory remarks concerning the campaign itic h is no.v being waged in South Bend for Liberty bonds. He said that with a little more efj fort South Bend people could help I reach the mark which has been set for them. He then introduced Dr. F. I'. Jaynes of Wabash who gave an historical account of the rise of the Hohenzollern riynasy, presenting it in allegorical form. Dr. Jaynes told of the ninth century knight of the mailed list, tiding about the country encased in armor, and smiting down all those who dared oppose him. He intimidated people to Mich an extent that they had their choice of either following him and his picked leaders, or being put to death. As time wore on he established a kingdom oer which he ruled with an :ron hand, his only code of ethics being that might makes right. From such stock has sprung Kaiser Wilhelm, emperor of Germany. Way back in history there is no record of a country called (Jerinany: let us hope that before long, that same condition will exist. -(ZooI-lve Maw." "(lood-bye Maw" was played by the Jackies in real rag-time style after which they discarded their instruments and ?anc the chorus. This ti ore than pleased the audience v:ho continued their applause until the leader signaled the musicians for an encore. They responded with "Back Home Again In Indiana." F. A. Wood, who is connected with the oureau of public information in Washington, then spoke. His serires were secured at the eleventh hour to speak in place of Congressman Itarnhart. who wired that he would be una Ide to attend. He appealed directly to the women of the audience to buy Liberty bonds, and mentioned several specific instances of ways and means of buing them. One way to put more money in Libertv bonds is to stop powdering your rose, save the money spent for this cosmetic and put it into bonds; also ; Spend your j ; money at home : : and Help : uncle : Sam!

"SacriMcc everything you can." he concluded, "there is no patriotism without sacrii'.ce." A solo was rendered by Charle? Young of the Jackies, entitled ''What Arc You Going To Do for Fncle ammie?"

1. Electric Light Company Says It Is Losing Money on Its Larger Power Consumers in This District. Completion of testimony by the Indiana public service commission in hearing on the petition of the Indiana A: Michigan Electric Co.. asking permission to make surcharges of one-half cent a k. w. h. to all its consumers taking more than 50 k. w. h. a month, was made shortly after 0 o'clock Monday evening, after an all-day session of the commission held in the council chambers at the city hall. Attorneys representing the Oliver Hotel Co.. the city of Mishawaka, the Indiana & Michigan Flectric Co., and others interested in the hearing, will tile briefs with the commission, which took the case under advisement. The decision will be given, it is said, within the next 30 days. Company Alleges Loss. The electric company produced I inures Intended to show that under I present conditions it is losing money Jon its large power consumers. Prcs't ' F. A. Bryan of the company occu pied the stand the greater part of the afternoon session. He declared that it is impossible for the company to make the necessary extension in the plant unless the company is able to obtain money by the sale of bonds, and that it is impossible to sell bonds unless a good showing can be made by the company. Pres't Bryan reviewed the figures sui,mitted during the morning s-s-tijon. He said that it is now im possible to induce large banking institutions to handle bonds of the electric company in its present financial condition, but that if the desired surcharge k; allowed to be mad-, the company will then be in a position to induce the banking bouse to handle a bond issue that will enable the company to make the extension necessary to care for the business in the manner it should be cared for. In the opening statement, the electric company presented a petition signed by 15o of the larger consumers, asking that the company be treated fairly. The petition did not ask for an increase, but showed the desire of the consumers that the company be allowed a reasonable proiit, it was pointed out by Pres't Brya n. During his testimony at the afternoon session. Pres't Bryan said that it would be very unpatriotic for the company to attempt to negotiate the sale of bonds during the Liberty loan campaign. 0. K.

Czernin Ousted As Factions Begin To Voice Protests WASHINGTON, April 16. News of the resignation of Count Czernin ;is Austro-Huncarian forfisn minister led to much speculation a mon? officials and diplomats hcie as to the causes which brought about the rather dramatic exit ot the Austrian official at a moment when, through his decided change of attitude towa d war issues, involving' his complete acceptance of the extreme German views, it had been supposed that he had greatly strengthened his position. TI.:.s chanpe was manifested soon after the lirest-1-.itovsk peace conierence where Czernin had become convinced that his moderate views regarding the basis of peace were unacceptable to the dominant annexation and forced indemnity party. Therefore of'icials here are inclined to believe that it was not because the count was obnoxious to Austria's great ally that he was forced out of office, but rather that the explanation was to be found in the internal Austro-IIungarian issues. It is recognized that Czernin involved Emperor Charles 3n a most unpleasant position by his ppeech tryincr to fasten upon France th responsibility for initiating peace proposals last year, therehy enabling the French government to deliver a master stroke in diplomacy by producing the famous letter of Charles to Trincf Sixtus. Hut quite aside from the Sixtus letter, recent events in Austria-Hungary have indicated that Count Czernin's tenure might be short. In the Irst place there was the frightful :fforing of th population, and especially in Hohemia. from the state of semi-starvation fcr which they held the goverrment re?-pons-ible because it wolM not m.ike pear at nnr. Then there was the bitter dissatisfaction of the Poles and Czechs over the rellnquishmt nt of the rich country of Cholm to the Ukraine as one of th" condition of th Rrest-L.itok peace. Finally there was the concentrated hatred of the foreign minister by the antl(terman elements of the Austrian confederation because of his relapse into extreme conservatism and his adoption of the pan-German procram in its entirety with all of its reactionary policy. nows Tin; tiii: To have your pictures framed when you are house cleaning and decorat ing and you know an artistic j framed picture is a joy for ever I we do fine work and our line of picture moulding comprises all that is new and popular.

Knroute to a bank with a bag containing $2.000, Edward Goodman, a moving picture theater treasurer, was held up by daylight robbers who seized the money and escaped in an automobile here today. The robbery occurred on Uroadway at. Severityfourth street. FEARS DEMORALIZATION OF U. S. LABOR SUPPLY WASHINGTON. April K,. Wide difference of opinion over cal production and distribution questions appeared today between the fuel and railroad administrations in statements given out at their respective headquarters- each without the knowledge of the other. The fuel administration, referring to the geological surveys report that bituminous coal production fell off 1.500,000 tons, or 11 per cent in the week ending April 6. attributed the condition largely to shortage of cars at the mines. Mines are closing because they cannot gt cars, and the fuel administration declared it was gravely apprehensive lest this condition rrsult in the complete demoralization of the labor supply and a shortage of coal next winter. From the railroad administration came a report showing th.it more r;i r." were loader! with coal d'.iring the first week in April than in the same period last year, and that sinc J.in. 1, s.l.fil; more cars had bren loaded than last year, despite tlusharp decline in January because of bad weather, and th increase i r the war freight and troop traffic thi year. If mines are shutting down, railroad administration officials --aid informally, it is ir.ainiy becau.-e the;. have insufficient orders or are sh'rt of labor. Railroad hauling lf,0 per cent co.il supply to industries jjive fuel priority tu th1 fuel administration and war industries board, it was pointed out. and this tends to cut car supply to others.
