bulance sections which the United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation is to man, equip and present
10 the army for foreign service.
Although stripped OF its champion
ship coloring the singles tourney
this year gives every promise OF being
one of the most interesting that has

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Oct. 1.--Ap-
parently. somebody IS trying to inject
the pro-German question in municipal
politics in Indiana this fall. and the
general impression here is that who
ever does this is going to get the all
fredest walloping at the city elections
that any outfit ever got in the state.
1t has not yet fully developed just who
IS behind the plan. but it is generally
understood that there is a situation OF
that kind and that somebody is behind
it.
1t is pointed out here that it is alb
solutely unpatriotic and un-American
for anyone to seek to draw the race or
color lire in politics. Tt is also pointed
out that it is the duty of every citizen
TO spit on his hands. double up his nst
and go to the polls and soak with his
ballot any element or anybody else that
starts an issue of that kind. Loyal.
red-blooded Americans are in the ma
ioritv in this country. and it is safe to
assume that If the race issue IS raised
and any effort is made TO control cleo
tions on that issue the true American
element will do its work and do II Wen
Political leaders and observers VINO
koep track of things as they happen
declare that It is woe to the element or
Dsrt, that puts that issue forward.
