Hammond was besieged, in
vaded, captured and conquered
last evening by martial American
ism.
Between fifteen and twenty
thousand people, marching in
columns of fours, eights, tens and
twelves, led by seven bands and
two drum corps, composed the pa
triotic parade.
1t was the greatest demonstra-
ton ever held in Lake county and
viewed by as many spectators as
there were people in the parade.

Whiting and other nearby towns
were represented in the marchers
and the throngs that lined the
streets from Harrison Park TO
Central Park, two to ten deep.
Hammond may never again see SUCH
a great proportion Of its population
participating in an event. Had the pa
rade continued on out of the city, never
to return, Hammond including East
and West Hammond would today be
deserted city. Not one of the rndustrIes
upon which the city depends for its ex-
istence would be in operation The
furnaces and boilers would be cold and
the sky empty of the smoke of fac
tories Stores would be closed with no
one 10 open them Dust would cover
the desks in schools and offices alike.
No services could be held in any of the
score of churches for sexton and pas
tor choir and congregation would be
gone The heart blood and sinew of
tho city and the red corpuseles were in
the parade. If it had passed out of
Hammond there would have gone with
It all the skilled labor. the doctors and
lawyers. and left empty union temples
and lodge halls.

For several hours Monday night,

JOY ride at the expense of John A,

which was taken from a point in
front of the Isis theatre where it had
been parked while the occupants en-
joyed the pictures.
1t was reported that the car was
driven off by two men in sailor uni
forms, and at several points the num-
ber of the car was reported as the
one which was disregarding all speed
laws, for from several points in the
city people telephoned the station
that it was being operated in a reck-
less manner
After apparently enjoying them
selves as long as they cared. the oc-
cupants drove the fine auto to a point
near Chicoway Inn, deserting it there,
and at that point Jack Merritt, son
of the owner, found it at late hour.

Says Permanent Peace May
Only Be Based on Faith
of All Peoples.
BE FOLLY, HE SAYS
TO ACCEPT OFFER
Cannot Take Word of Pres
ent Rulers of Germany as
Guarntee of Anything"
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

= Washington, Aug. 28.-The presi-
dent rejected the pope's peace pro
posals, in a note despatched last night
and made public tonight. The presi-
dent says that while every heart not
1blinded and hardened by the terrible
war must be touched by the moving
appeal of his holiness, it would be
folly to take the path of peace he
points, out, if it does not lead to the
goal he proposes. To deal with such
powers as the present rulers Of Ger
many upon the pope's plan would in
volve a recuperation of strength and
the renewal of the world domination
policy of that power, said the presi-
dent. Germany may be baked but not
defeated, after sweeping the continent
with the blood of innocent women
children, and the helpless poor as well
as of soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based on
the faith of all the peoples, of JUS
tice and fairness.
owe cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure
unless supported by the conclusive
evidences of the will and purposes oi
, the German people themselves" SAID
the president.
The President said it was manifest
no part of the Pope's program could
be successfully carried out unless a
restitution of the status quo furnishes
aNbasis. The object of the war is to
d4liver the free peoples of the world
from the menace of a vast military
establishment controlled by an ire
sponsible government, which having
secretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry out the
plan without any regard to sacred OBJ,
legations of tre2ties, 1t stopped at
ho barrier of either law or mercy
J}he said.

Brands Cats as Unqualified
Falsiher and Without
Least Courage.
NO MORE BRAINS
THAN MUD-CAT, SAYS
"When You Get Hickory
Stick, Sidney, You Can
Locate Me-" Says Clark.
Washington Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

he EenSdCOlS journal
Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 28. In
the third Of the series Of vitriolic
open letters that have been cxchanE-
ed between Governor Sidney J. Cats
of Florida and Congressman Frank
Clark, the congressman today again
brands the governor as an unauaI-
fled falsitier, with having no more
courage than the cayote and no more
brains than the mud cat.
The squabbIe began about a month
ago over the efforts of Congressman
Clark to have an inspector of the
wal department investigate the moral
and temperamental fitness Of the son
of Governor Cats to act is captain
of one of the companies Of the
Florida National Guard. when a son
OF Governor Cats was appointed as
captain of one of the companies, a
mutiny occurred among the rank and
file who declared they would not
serve under him. They were finally
subdued with a threat ~ court mar
tial, but the matter did not end there
Clark had an inspector sent to inves-
tlgate young Cats.
Clark followed this up by issuing
an open letter in which he charged
, Governor Cats with treason. He
challenged the goVeruor to joint
| debate at any point the latter should
choose. He said he would take an
hour to make the charge, give Cats
then himself take half an hour in
rebuttal
Cats issued an open letter IN re-
nj /,
harsh name imaginable and he said
he would not give Clark the opportu-
nifty he sought to make his campaign
for governor. He warned Clark that
if he ever meddled any more in the
affairs Of his family he would thrash
him with d hickory stick, as he said
Governor jennings had done some
years ago. He would thrash him. he
said, but would not debate with him
and considered the matter closed,
Clark's latest,
In his letter to the governor today

you have done just what ex
pected you to do, viz: use the meth

TRY TO KEEP SHOPS
OF 6. & F. A. HERE

Every effort is being made by the
Chamber of Commerce to keep the
G. F & A. shops in Pensacola, and
it is believed shat the work will bring
the desired results. 1t is felt that
the city can Ill afford to lose an IN
dustrial plant of the size Of the shops
which would place q large amount of
money in circulation each week by
pay roll.
Some time ago It was rumored
that unless opposition to the estab-
lishment of the shops in West Pensa-
cola ceased the receivers for the road
would place the shops at Atmore, No
verifcation could be obtained from
officials of the road, and since that
time no announcement has been Civ
en- out. 1t is stated, however. that
the Chamber of Commerce can pos
sibly move the difficulty and succeed
in keeping the shops here.
