ROUND THEM UP.

Holdups and petty thieving prevail
in South Bend 10 an extent which
should not be possible in a community
so small that every local crook and
the advent of every visiting crook
should be known to the police Such
an epidemic OF small crimes as that
now in progress should have been
broken up in a week
A roundup OF local suspects early
in the game would have put stop to
the annoyance and loss or revealed to
the police that new agencies were at
work. A roundup now would have
the same effect. There are not so
many crooks. young and old. in South
Bend that this would be impossible.
A dozen arrests. judiciously made.
would aid materially in locating the
offenders.
Robbery and theft are not the worst
that might happen. Made bold by be-
ing unmolested the holdup men and
thieves are encouraged 10 take more
desperate chances and to become more
reckless of life and property. One Of
these days. if the present laxity con-
tinues. somebody will be killed That
is the usual result of periods of un-
restricted crime.
The system employed by the sneak
thieves is very simple They select a
house and watch the movements of
the occupants for an opportunity to
slip in and steal whatever OF value
they may lay their hands upon. So
far they have not gone beyond cut
ting screens. In the main they have
depended upon finding a front or
back door unsecured with the occu-
pants in the back or front part of the
house.
To aid in putting a stop to these
offenses people should be careful to
secure their doors. and when a theft
has been committed it should be i'm
mediately reported TO the police. II
an arrest can be made II should be
made before the thief has an oppor-
tunity to dispose OF the stolen prop

GERMANY,s DESPERATE CHANCE

The services Of a military expert are
not required TO demonstrate that Ger
many Is taking a desperate chance. In
any other game the odds would be
against her. and her success now de-
ponds upon the turn OF the chance she
has taken.
As revealed by subsequent events
the original plan seems to have been
10 march through Belgium unObstruct-
ed and TO mass the German army in
front Of the French defenses before
they were prepared TO make success
full resistance. Then. after crushing
France. TO turn the full military
strength OF the empire against Russia
But at the start the plans Of the
kaiser miscarrfed. Belgium refused
10 give Germany peaceful passage
through her territory and when Ger
many insisted with force resisted with
courage and effectiveness that COM
mand the admiration OF the world
Then Great Britain entered the arena,
TO the CONSERVATION of the Germans.
The Belgian obstruction has been
swept aside at terrific cost in men
and time. The casualties in the Ger
man army are frightful to contem-
plate and IL is three weeks behind it's
schedule. Another week. perhaps two,
must pass before the issue in the
western field Of war can be decided.
As anticipated by the kaiser the
Russians have been slow TO move. but
not slower than the progress of the
German campaign in the west, and
they are now. before Germany has
disposed of the western allies. occu-
plying German territory and threaten
ing 10 overrun the empire with a horde
OF armed men.
In this crisis Austria has been di-
virted from Servia and turned toward
Russia. On what the Austrian army
can do and on the natural difficulties
OF the country through which the Rus
sian army must pass Germany must
depend 10 delay the invaders until the
situation in the west can be cleared
and she can devote her full strength
TO repelling Russia
Stolidly and doggedly Germany has
accepted the situation as she finds it,.
without hating or wavering her army
is pressing on toward Paris. To crush
France and her allies at one sweep
Ing blow is Germany's purpose. and a
military expert need not tell US that
she must accomplish this speedily or
fail

with his admission TO the St. Joseph
county bar in 1853. but it has been
many years since he was actively
identified with Ks practice.
Mr.. Arnold. like many OF the earlier
members of the bar. was a student in
the office OF the late Judge Thomas S.
Stanheld. after which he completed
the course in a Chicago law school
he gained reputation as a safe
counselor and earnest advocate and
was known as lawyer who settled a
case out Of court whenever possible.
For a number OF years he was as
ISOLATED with ]. P. Greed. II was as

known and more widely quoted. He
caused an abstract OF the titles TO ali
real estate in ST Joseph county to

vision and for many years devoted mis-
attention almost exclusively to this
business
Mr.. Arnold was a man OF amiable
disposition. OF pleasing personality
and address. He had the patriotism

the civil war, but was not permitted
to serve as the quota was filled He
was never politically active but took
a deep interest in social affairs
though he never married.

fancy gate posts, rhododendrons and

John T. McCutcheon had shared a

Cutcheon had named it The Oaks. be

stand that IT contained. In front OF
the AIDE house is a grove of a hundred
or more oak trees. but he escaped
calling his new home The Oaks. II
is known as Hazelden farm. Hazelden
being the name of George AIDES grand
mother. The oak trees. however. took
care of the landscaping in front Of
the house. At the rear stretched out
acres and acres that were largely
prairie in appearance, though they
comprised the eastern extremity Of the
famous Illinois corn belt. AIDE con-
fded TO one OF his neighbors that he
proposed 10 relieve the tedium of the
fat stretch Of country by some land
scape architecture.
Landscape architecture ?" repeated
the neighbor. "Waat do you mean
arbOrs andthingS,"
AIDE explained briefly the scope of
landscape gardening, how an expert
landscape gardener does with trees
and Shrubbery what good barber
does with whiskers. Just as the bar
Der will advise against long. narrow
whiskers for a man with thin. slab
like face, AIDE said. even so does the
landscape architect introduce foliage
where IL will do the most good.
''Oh, l see" said the neighbor. you
intend TO plant lot Of sunfiOwers and
hOllyhocks back of your house. Well.
that's all right If you don't use up too
much ground that's good for other
things. There amt no finer corn land

The same neighbOr dropped around
one day and noticed the brick fire
places that were being constructed in
the AIDE house

The humorist nodded.

juries were distributed amongst heads,

of the cases were medical.
The prevalence of leg wounds was
explained to me by the soldiers as due
TO the fact that the Turkish soldier is
so illiterate that he cannot read the
sighting on his rife and aims point
blank with the usual result that the
bullet hits below the mark at which
ii is aimed. A man came in with his
right arm shOckingly shattered by
shrapnel. He had travelled in the
usual comfortless ox-carts for five
days from Lule Burgas. He arrived
in an exhausted condition, and was
suffering as many were. when first ad-
mitted, from severe shock. He was
discovered the next morning weeping
discOnsolately.
We asked him what was the mat

little hesitation, that he was en-
