House-to-House Combat.
The fighting was very severe along

without success. Further south, al
Labassee, the struggle which has been
in progress several days developed into
a house-to-house combat. Both sides
displayed the greatest determination.
and in many cases bayonet duels pro-
crossed from one floor to another, until
the Germans were eventually over

All along Labassee canal the two OPP

throughout the day. Good railroad

Gus important centers and the series

Germans in many instances damaged

The Belgians are somewhat the same
in character. but the recent damage to so
many cities of Belgium has rendered
them rather gloomy. though they are still
full of fight and sure of eventual vic

The British appear to be ready to seize
the slightest opportunity to play some

The Indian troops maintain a calm 81

Keep Up Their Courage.

Now for the glad verse. I have given
the present unpleasing picture. But ali
Of these good. husky, game sports, who
are more particular about the crease
in their trousers when they are broke
than at other times, are keeping up
their courage.
They are told that within a few
months the pendulum is bound to
swing back. and that this country is
on the eve of a boom in business such
as 1t has never known before. Such
men as Vanderlip, Morgan, George F.
Baker, Daniel G. Reid. H. p Dawson
and their colleagues and associates in
finance and business declare that IL we
all just sit tight the worst of the
hurdles and water jumps will soon be
over.
They go on to say that the country is
fairly bursting with prosperity-that
perity. 1t is being conserved for the
present, but 1t is there and cannot be
destroyed. They say that after awhile
the pent-up forces of prosperity will
become SO irrepressible that they will
vertically blow the lid off and the whole
country will be showered.
The New York flnanciers declare that
OF all the countries on the face of the
globe affected by the war-and all
countries, even the most Insignificant,
are hurt to a degree-the United States
at this hour is in the most advanta-
geous position. They point out that
with crops never more abundant. with
bank reserves never more replete. with
savings accounts never SO large, this
country has only to do as my financial
friend said, "Batten down the matches
and ride out the gale"
And thanks be, they add. this country
as a nation has the necessary provi-
sions in the lazarette.

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL coNvEN.
TON.

The Citizens Association of Chi.
cago Is on the right track in advocat.
ing a revision of our State Constitu.
ton. The annual report Of the associ.
alton. says:
Last December our Executive Com.
mittee adopted resolutions favoring
the calling of a convention to revise
the Constitution Of Illinois and tried
to promote discussion of the matter.
In June, when 1t had become apparent
that the Legislature would not vote
to submit to the people any of the
constitutional amendments which had
been proposed. we made an eleventh.
hour effort to induce the members of
the House to pass the Joint resolution
for constitutional convention which
had already been adopted by the Sen.
ate under the leadership Of Senator
Curtis. In spite of the confusion con.
nected with the last night of the SEES.
sion and the large number Of alb.
sentees, this resolution received
eighty votes in the House.
1T Is universally admitted that the
present Constitution of Illinois. adopt
ed forty-three years ago. has long
been outgrown and that the slow and
difficult process required to amend 1t
has for many years seriously retarded
the progress OF the people Of the State
by depriviEg them of the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the changed condi-
tons. The accumulated evils arising
from this situation have now become
so numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution In such a way that 1t
will cease to be a hindrance to good
government. Such necessary reforms
as the abolition OF the system OF mi
norlty representation In the Leglsla.
ture: revision Of the teXation system
consolidation Of local governing and
taxing bodies. and reduction In the
number of elective officers can only be
secured without intolerabe delay by
undermining the State Constitution.
Adequate powers OF home rule for
Chicago can also best be secured by
this Statewide method.
For forty years proposed amend
ments have killed each other Off, One
third of the membership of either
house has been able eiIectually to
block any desired change in the Con-
stltution. The irksome restrictions
imposed by the present Constitution
bear down upon Chicago with almost
crushing force. Because OF them Chi
cago is compelled to maintain, at a
vast unnecessary expense, three sep
arate and distinct governmental
bodies covering practically the same
territory; viz: the City, County and
Sanitary District. In our opinion the
time Is ripe now for holding a Con-
stltutloral Convention in Illinois as
the best means Of atfording adequate
relief 10 the people OF the City and
State. At the next session Of the Leg.
lslature we will do everything in our
power TO bring about the calling of
such a Convention, which this Asso-
ciator has favored for many years I"

A TAX EATERS CHARTER.

The taxpayers aud private citizens
who work hard for money to support
local government will have nothing
to do with framing new charter for
Chicago. The convention which will
construct the charter will be com.
posed Of delegates chosen by the
city council, the county board. the
park boards. the board of education,
the board of election commissioners,
the judges Of the seven local courts,
the Chicago plan commission. the
Municipal Art League, the Board OF
Trade, the Association of Commerce,
the two real estate boards, the Bar
Association, the Federation of Labor,
and dozen other organizations. in
Guiding several women's clubs.
