In explaining their duties a citizens to them Judge Funk laid great stress upon the red flag uprisings throughout the country pointing out that it was their duty as citizens to report any conspiracy against the government to the authorities.

Visit of Marshal Foch to London

ed Springbrook as the most suitable site for the proposed memorial, and expressed the view that it should be erected by the county Instead of by the city of South Bend. Frank Favors Spring brook. Abe Frank also favored Springbrook. He said that when the coliseum project was first started three or four years ago. he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce committee, favored the location of such an institution somewhere in the business part of South Bend. He said that now, however, he believed that Springbrook would be a more suitable location, pointing to the future growth of both South Rend and Mlshawaka as an argument in favor of Springbrook. He said that inasmuch as it is to be built as a memorial to the soldiers of the entire county, it should be built by the. county. John F. DeHaven, member of the board of public works, favored South Bend, agreeing with Controller Swygart that the coliseum should be located in the county seat of the county. Mr. Dellaven said that the law permits the city to erect a combined coliseum and public market, and that he believed that it should be built somewhere in the central part of South Bend. Rostiser Seconds View. Harvey Rostiser, also a member of the board of works, expressed the same views as Mr. Dellaven, advancing the public market and coliseum combination argument. "The coliseum must not be allowed to become a drag on either the city or county," he declared. Edward Zeltler, member of the board of county commissioners, spoke in favor of Springbrook park, as did also Thomas Williams, another member of the board of county commissioners. M. L. Brummitt of New Carlisle, a member of the county council, favored making the coliseum a county project, but was non-committal as to where it should be located. M. V. Mix, also a member of the county council, favored Springbrook as the most suitable locatlon for a memorial to the entire county. Mr. Mix pointed out that to locate th coliseum at Springbrook would not only provide a memorial to all the soldiers of the county, but it would at the same time conserve capital as the Springbrook site would be deeded to the county without cost. He said that this would be a large item as the cost of the building would alone reach nearly to the half million dollar mark. Sees Amalgamation Ahead. A. G. Graham favored Springbrook park on the ground that it would mean the providing of something that would. draw the interests of the entire county closer to one another. He predicted that the string of small towns throughout the county would at some future time be united into one large city, and that Springbrook at no distant future would be the center of that larger city. County Agent John S. Bordner predicted a community of 200,000 population within 10 years. He said that a monument to the soldiers of the county should be erected by the county, and should be located at a place that is already being looked upon as a civic center for the county. He urged Springbrook park as the most suitable location for the coliseum. City Atty. Thomas W. Slick declared that he did not know where the coliseum should be located. He said that it should be left to the people of the county. He urged that

every one express opinions on the

matter, and that the view of the majority should be followed. In adjourning the meeting Mayor Carson announced that there would be other meetings called for the purpose of further discussing the matter. He said that while he feels at this time that the coliseum should be built in the central part of SouO Rend, his jnaln object is the erection of a coliseum as a memorial to the soldiers of the county, and that he is open to argument that Springbrook Is the most, suitable location for this memorial.

A courtmartial for you if you continue to flirt in this open fashion with the enemy." Dodges Quick Pass. Cpl. Imes had to duck quickly to avoid the good natured swing from Hesser's fist. "The situation wouldn't be so complicated if you hadn't butted in." declared Hesser in mock complaint. "The trouble with thl anti-frat law is that it don't establish any age limit. Matilda has been my sweetheart ever since the outfit blew into Coblenz. She has been a regular caller every day and wants to hang onto my arm while I guide trafTle. "On Christmas morning before the street lamps were rut out she came running up to my post breathless to show me her Santa Claus doll. It had eyes that moved from side to side and closed vhen the doll

was put to bed. It was some doll. Well, I reckon I got to separate from Matilda now since this b.an on mingling with boche females wont into effect. Anyhow Matilda has got an idea that she likes my chewing gum and chocolate better than me." An Kx-Traftie Cop. Then Hesser gave his eight-year-old sweetheart a genuine hug which threatened both bread and dolly and went over to his post of tratlic director hack of 'the ex-kaiser's summer palace. Before the war Hesser was a traffic policeman in Philadelphia. He Is a great brawny, good-natured man He and Matilda and Matilda's doll had been photographed together more than once.

LARGE TRADING TO CLEAR BECKS

NEW YORK. Dec. 31 Stock market has showed a remarkably strong undertone throughout today's session all classes of securities participating in a very active trade. Prices generally are averasrinj? higher than yesterday's average and in some instances gains of from two to four points were registered. Great strength was shown in the oil stocks, Mexican Petroleum being up 12 points and Texas Oil up 11 points. The strength in the market Is probably discounting better things with the turn of the year and on any good news over the new year a strong upward swing will probably result. It Is the general belief that money will be in more plentiful supply and taking into consideration that market apr-ears well liquidated it would take very little encouraging news to cause sharply higher prices. Market Is closing strong with prices about the best of the day.

International News Service: NEW YORK, Dec. 31. The chief feature of the trading in the first 15 minutes on the stock exchange was the urgency to establish losses by sales and deliveries of stock on tho last daj' of the year, apparently because of the belief that it is necessary to have the accounts completely closed before the end of business tonight. This was effective in practically the largest amount of trading for cash that has ever been known in the history of the stock exchange. All through the early trading many other transactions instead of being in the regular way for delivery on Thursday were for cash for delivery today. Reading sold at 81 regular and SO 3-4 cash at the same time. Steel Common, which ranging around 94. regular, sold as low ax 93 5-8 cash. There were many unusually wide fluctuations because of the confusion created by this interjection of cash trading. Chlno opened with an advance of 3 2-8 at 34. Anaconda opened up one point at 60 and then declined to 59 3-8. Westinghouse was, ex-dividend selling down 1 1-8 to 40 1-4. Union Pacific opened 3-4 higher at 129 1-4 and St. Paul showed an opening gain of 5-8 to 39 followed by a reaction to 38 1-4. Price movements were mixed, but the market generally showed a strong tone in the late afternoon, there being a. good demand. Liberty fourth 4 1/4s rose to 95.20. against the low level yesterday of 94. After this advance the bonds dropped to below 95.
