are even said to have invaded New

First Step Costs.
Face to face with such dangers, both
from the north and south, the magni-
tude Of which people in Australia
scarcely realize or they would not be
so apathetic as they are, it behooves
us to make some genuine effort to sub
nit to some real seh-sacrifce if we
wish to preserve this great heritage
for ourselves and our children. 1t is
something TO have adopted the com
pulsory system and to have organized
an army of youths, but this is not
enough. and now that the people gen
orally have been brought to perceive,
by the practical experience of witness
ing the drill in the streets, how inef-
ffcient an army il would be if put to
the test, it will be a comparatively
easy matter to extend the period of
service and to include the adults in
the scheme as well as the boys. Not
till this is done can we be said to
have made anything like an adequate
effort to guard our native shores.
Naval Epoch Begun.
The launching of the battleship
New Zealand at Glasgow the other
day in the presence of 5000 people
was rightly termed by Lord Plunkett,
ex-governor of New Zealand, a new
epoch in naval history" since it is the
first time that the oversee dominions
have contributed a warship to the
British fleet, and it will ever be a trib-
ute to the imperial spirit of New Zea-
ldlu lndI IL SCI JllG SAdlllplS III lhelI ~
spect which we in Australia we're only
too glad to follow. And the spirit
which animates us all, both in England
and throughout the empire, was hap
PLY voiced by Lady Ward as she cut
the cord releasing the vessel: May
she never be called upon to engage in
battle, but if it be otherwise, l pray
that victory may be hers!"
We are not anxious to fight, we
want to be at peace with all the world
and to carry on our great mission of
insuring liberty and justice to all the
peoples under our sway, but to do that
the empire, of which we form a part,
must be ready at any moment to meet
the enemy wherever he may appear,
whether it be Germany or Japan. Both
New Zealand and Australia have set
the rest of the empire an emaXple in
that respect, and the sooner we make
that example more worthy of imita-
ton by extending the period of COM
pulsory military training the better
will be our chance of defending our
shores when the moment of danger
comes.

was directed to proceed on his course
at a speed Of seven knots, and It was
expected by those on the tug that the
ten shots to be fired at the moving
target would come in rapid success
sion. However, after the first was
fired, a long delay ensued, and 1t was
thought that some accident had hap
pened to one of the mortars, but it
was probably occasioned by the tug
cutting a straight line and getting out
of the zone. 1t may be explained here
that the zones of fire are circular, hav-
ing as their centers the battery and
their radii one, two, three thousand
feet or more, the seventh zone being
the arc of a circle, having seven
thousand yards as it's radius.
After a delay of some twenty min
utes the forts began firing again, and
the remaining nine shots came in
rapid succession, and the mortar prae>
tice at the Fort Ruger batteries was
over until another twelve months have
rolled around.

intendent Herring said he was not
ready to soy whether his company

council that there would be no delay
in taking down the posts.

Kane voted no.

natural attractions to which is added
the fact that it ADULTS the fair
grounds. which, with its little lake. is
a natural park.

pear more important when he possible

sideration.

IMPORTANT
RULINGS
Full List Of Applicants For
Naturalization and Dispo-
sition of the Cases.

You cant desert your wife and be
considered good material for citizen
ship to the United States. That was
the ruling Of Judge A. B. Anderson
Of the United States District court
at Hammond yesterday in the case of
two applicants for second papers.
In this section of the county it is
an unheard of thing for a judge to
go into the domestic relation of a
man in determining his desirability
as citizen but yesterday two men
were refused citizenship for the rea-
son that they are not supporting
their wives
NOT GOOD CITIZENS.
Welam Kasnauskia bartender at
$3.50 Guthrie street, Indiana Harbor ad-
mitted that he had deserted his wife in
|ths old country and was denied citizen
ship papers. Michael Fuljarfch, bar
ber 5s1 Morton avenue. Hammond, was
denied citizenship for the reason that
he had abandoned his wife,
1t is expected that practically three
Qudft6IS Oh tn6 applicants al tHo next
session OF the United States Courts will
be saloonkeepers who will seek their
second papers In order that they may
be qualified to apply for the renewal of
their saloon licenses.
Three saIoonkeepers were denied the
rights of full citizenship In the Unit
ed States District Court at Hammond
yesterday for the reason that they ad-
mitted keeping their places of business
open on Sundays and this Is held to be
prima facie evidence of the fact that
the applicant is not law abiding citi-
zen.
Two others were denied the right to
citizenship for the reason that they are
not supporting their wives. Judge
Anderson questioned these applicants,
found that they had deserted their
wives and said that there are already
enough Americans who are not sup
porting their wives and that it is not
goo dpoHcy to admit any more sucn
people to citizenship.

PRACTICE:
HAS NEARLY
Fatal END
Bicyclist Indulges in Com
mon Usage and Meets
With Accident Which Re-
suits in But Slight Injury
to Rider.

An accident which might easily have
resulted fatally occurred on South Hob
man street in Hammond last night
when Contractor J. H. McClay was driv-
ing his automobile towards home
A. II. Rohrer was in the car with Nc
Clay and the Hammond contractor was
driving along at a moderate rate of
speed when he happened to glance
backward and noticed the face of a boy
in close proximity to the car.
The boy was riding bicycle and had
hold of the mud guard at the rear OF
McClay's car. When McClay look sd
around the boy lost control. OF hts
wheel and the pedal struck the spokes
of the rear wheel of the automobile
Thrown Twenty Feet.
The result. was that the boy and
bicycle were thrown half way across
the street to the curb and had the boys
head struck the concrete curb and it
came near doing the accident might
have been fatal.
The wheel was badly damaged bu:
the boy was able TO get up and ap-
parently was not very badly injured
The accident was a very fortunate one
In that there was no loss of life.
An idea may be had OF the force with
which the spokes Of the wheel struck
the pedal of the bicycle from the fact
| that one spoke was nearly cut in two
and great chunks of wood were torn
out of a half dozen other spokes.
Contractor McClay says that this
! should be warning to bicycle riders
not to catch hold of automobiles and
the street cars as the dangers of acci.
dent are very great.

PAVING DELAYED

The paving of portion of State Line
street may be delayed for an indefi-
mite period account of the legal
tangle in which West Hammond finds
itself because it has neither a village
nor a city charter.
1t was originally planned to have
West Hammond cooperate with Ham,
mond on the pavement, and the Illinois
community urged the Hammond board
of public works to take the first step
because West Hammond wants the
same kind of pavement for its side of
the street that Hammond is to get.
Under the Indiana law plans and speci-
f1cations for four standard pavements
are to be submitted to the tax payers.
while under the Illinois law the tax
PAYERS must petition the county court
and can ask for only one kind Of pave
ment.

This will accomplish the removal of
the old blacksmith shop which has for
years been such an eye sore and will
convert an unproductiye piece of prop-
erty into good income bearing propo-
sition. 1t Is estimated that the new
building will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The building will be used
for stores and office rooms.
In addition to this Joe Thomas has
employed Contractor Koch to build a
IS. 900 nat building on Sibley street,
near Sohl street. With the exception
of the last mentioned enterprise these
projects are not fully enough developed
to warrant their being listed as cer-
tainties. and consequently until the
plans are drawn and more DEFINITE steps
are taken the $14s,oo0 involved in these
operations will not be included in THE
TINES list OF building operations for
1911.
