GERMAN
. SOCIETY TO
ORGANIZE
Hammond Will Start Local
Branch of German Ma
tional Society to Enlist
Aid in Entertaining State
Organization Here.

A union movement is under way
among the German societies of Ham
mond which is expected to terminate
on December with the forming of a
local branch of the German National
Societies with charter membership
of $500. On the evening of that day a
mass meeting will be held at which
President Joseph of the German Ma
tionaI Societies and his associate Of
ficers will speak.
In 1914, on the 3oth and 31st of Aug
ust and the 1st and End of October,
Hammond will entertain hundreds OF
distinguished Hoosiers at the stats
convention of the German National So-
cities. 1t is with a view to this that
the unionizing of German societies is
being undertaken Hammond has not
sufficient hotel accommodations" said
F. C. Miller of the Saengerbund Fidelia
today, land the singing society alone
could not entertain the hosts that will
come here for the four days meeting.
Will Build Club House.
A committee of prominent men which
has the building project of the Saenger-
bund Fidelia under consideration has
practically decided to commence oper-
ations at once in order to have hall
| for the convention. The mass meet
ing in December will be- held at Moose
hall, one of the few available places.
There is no place suitable for the big
convention and so 1t is thought adj
visable to hasten the building OF the
club house.
| The society already has the property
| in Muenich court, 71x1s0. The plans
are complete and the finances In much
better condition. Hammond must
! surely feel the demand tor club

and big affairs said member of the
committee.
1t is understood among all the Ger
man societies that the National Ger
man Societies was not founded for po-
/ litical purposes and that 1t will be or
ganized here to provide a council to
care for the convention and other
: events of the future. It will have
| larger membership than any other or
ganization in town. In the state OF
indiana the National German Societies
has 10000 members.

PARK NOW
WITHOUT
A MOTHER

Disannexation proceedings fnaugu-
rated about ten days ago by the East
Chicago authorities with reference to
Stiglitz park became effective yester-
day and the suburb is now in a posi-
tion to be annexed by the city of
Whiting.
Stiglitz Parks position with regard
to East Chicago was virtually case
of taxation without benefits. The tax
payers in the suburb. owing to the
location of the community, could not
enjoy any of the modern improvements,
the lack of city water having been the
chief complaint Its close proximity
to Whiting and the contemplated an
nexation will insure these conveni-
ences to the Stiglitz Park people.
