the ST, %, 900 was appropriated. Now, what are the facts about Pearl Harbor
 It is TO more the key to the Pacific than the Bermuda Islands lying 75( miles southeast of New York and belonging to Great Britain are the key to the Atlantic. The boy orators of Congress who orated $700, GOO of our hard earned tax money into dead can non and a walled fort in Pearl Harbor had no omciaI knowledge of Pearl Harbor worth copper cent. They did not think that the entrance to Pearl Harbor has only Il feet of water above the coral reefs. They did not seem to know that one of our great battleships require 26 feet of deep water displacement. They did not know that 1t will take over 5000, 900 to blast out the coral reefs at the  mouth of Pearl Harbor to enable battleship to enter this harbor Of safety, in order to make the S700, 900 of any account.
 Even if Pearl Harbor should be blasted and dredged to make it safe for the battleships to enter, and we should have war with Japan or any other nation of the Orient, the proba- bility of our fighting a battle Tn the immediate presence of this island har- bor of satety would but equal the probability of that famous main pillar of the administration in Ohio, George Cox, of Cincinnati, going up to heaven on Jacobs ladder.

GREETING Occurrence.

South Bend high school football
players who were on their way home
last Saturday evening from a game
which they had played, received rough
treatment at the hands of several Ham
mond youths, who are said to have as
saulted the visitors for very slight
provocation. Arrests with assault and
battery charges may follow against
the local boys, Donald DuShane, the
faculty manager of the South Bend
school. having promised this. Several
Of the South Bend players are said to
have been quite badly beaten up, but
some of the local boys, too, are said
to show evidence that they were in a
scrimmage.
According to the best information,
the attack by the local boys was en-
tirely unwarranted and they are be-
ing scored for having shown such a
lack of hospitality to visitors, especial
~ high school boys.
Make SneerinS Remarks.
These are the fellows who robbed
US of our bets on the game today" is
the remark credited to the local boys,
who are said to have made 1t on South

boys on their way to the interurban
depot This brought back to retort
from the visitors which the local boys
answered with more bitterness. The
argument grew in a minute until it
reached the lighting stage. Another
report is to the effect that the Ham
mond boys sought to brea kup the good
feeling among the visitors by eaustic
remarks when the latter attempted to
give their high school yell.
Resolutions Condemn Act.
The Hammond boys have found lit
tie justification at home for their be-
havior. and the student body of the
local high school this morning passed
resolutions condemning their actions
as follows:
body of the Hammond high school, re-
greet and deplore the outrageous treat

South Bend football team and their
official by a band OF ruffiians and
hoodlums in our city: and be it further

Because Of This.
TbRDY MAY BLAME THEMSELVES
Republicans Take Some of Their For
eigners to Valparaiso for
Credentials.

Despite the clamoring Of republican
and democratic leaders at the office of
Deputy United States Clerk Charles
Surprise for the issuance of more ma
turalization papers to foreigners, the
lid that was put on last Saturday staid
on for today. It was a physical impos-
sibility for Mr.. Surprise to issue papers
today as it took him and his seven
clerks all day today to fill out the
blanks for which application had been
made last week.
There was considerable Soreness.
especially among tardy republican lead
ers in the various cities, but they have
no one to blame excepting themselves
They held off until the last minute and
last week the office of the federal
clerk became swamped.
Clerk Is Not to Blame.
1t has been argued that the papers
might have been issued and Mr. Sur
prise and his force catch up with the
work later in the week, but this on
the face of it is unreasonable. as no
paper is valid until the last detail has
been complied with. Each paper that
is issued requires two duplicates and
as there are twenty-six blanks to be
nlleO on eacn the amount OF Work LnaJ
is connected with them is easily real
lied. Furthermore. the name sare all
foreign, but there must not be the
the slightest difference in any OF the
three forms. In order that this might
not happen it is up to the clerk to
proofread each and every form and
sign each, and while a larger force Of
clerks might fiji out more blanks the
clerk can read over just so many day.
Last week he averaged 1873 papers a
day, or rather thee times that many
because of the necessary duplicates.
Mr. Surprise hopes to finish up his
work late this evening.
1t was reported today that the Gary
republicans in order to gather in a few
more votes, sent 200 foreigners to Val
paraiso to have their naturalization
papers issued in the circuit court be-
fore Judge McMahan. The clerks Of
fee there, however, win not be equip
ped to receive this onrush at a late
hour, and the probabilities are that
only a small number will be natural
lied.

The principal social event was the
Halloween dance, given by the mem

This was conspicuously a successful af-
fair.
The dance given by the Hammond
regulars in Huehns hail was also an
important event. There We're num-

HOW THE DISTRICT
CHAIRMAN SEES 1T.

James Kirby Risk, district
chairman Of the democratic party
in the Tenth district, well es-
teemed among the democrats Of
Hammond for whom he has fought
many a good fight, will not sup
port Durgan of Lafayette, who is
like Becker of Hammond, running
for a third term as mayor. Mr..
Risk argues that the principles Of
party are greater than a local
campaign, or one mans ambition.
His statement viii appeal to the
democrats of Hammond who are
fighting Becker. His expression is
the expression Of the independent
democrat who is against third
termism. Is Becker bigger man
than J. Kirby Risk?
