freedom.
The principal address of the afternoon
will be made by DIR. w. f. Rozycki. of
Chicago. who is one of the important
field generals of the Gateway Movement
His eloquence and fervid enthusiasm in
the cause he represents make him
welcome speaker at all gatherings. He
is impressing upon the Poles the i'm
portance of loyalty to American insti-
buttons. of resistance TO the propaganda
of our enemies. of refraining from
strikes and all industrial disturbances
during the period of the war. and OF rufi
support OF President Wilson in his war
policies.
That the Poles of the United States
are keenly alive to our peril through the
demands of German militarism, and are
resolved to fight it to the death. is prov
ed by the fact that fifty thousand Poles
have already enlisted. At Whiting some
restraint was necessary to keep young
men from enlisting whose duty ii was
to remain at home. and as a class they
are all hoping their numbers may be
drawn in the first draft
Whiting people will turn out in full
force next Sunday afternoon to observe
the parade and show their appreciation
of this effort of the Polish Societies.

GARYS DRAF 7
QUOTA MAY
BE LOWERED

Vigorous protests from Mayor r. o.
Johnson OF Gary against the govern
ment's estimate of the steel city's
population at 10000 has resulted in a
promise from state officials that the
quota may be reduced Following is
later correspondence that throws light
on the subject:

My Dear Mayor: Your letter of July
9Th has been received.
Il assure you that there is no dispo-
sition on the part of this department to
increase the population of Gary. and we
shall do everything we can to keep it
within the limits named you you, to-wit:
$4,000 to 10000.
My concern was what the federal
government would do in view of the
telegram we forward them when we
asked for the additional boards They
have made their estimates. and as soon
as the cards are received at this depart
ment, the drawing will take place
Il feel that you are entirely right in

of the state are not to be overburdened.

the Gary newspapers telling just about
what the result would be here, if our

is a grave matter for northern Indiana.

If we can assist in any way in get

so here in Gary; in the meantime. we
are certain that you are taking care of

METHODIST BISHOPS UPHOLD

message to the people of America ap-
pealed for support of President Will

SHELLS CUT LIKE SCISSORS
Latest Invention Is Used i'm Cutting
Wire Entanglcmcnts.

There seems no limit to what the
rev shells can do. one of the latest
shells has a sort of scissors attach
ment which, when released by the ex-
plosion, will cut thru the strongest
wire entanglements. Another releases
n number of short chains when IL ex-
plodes. These chains are sure to
wreck anything they touch, says Pop
ular Science Monthly.
The scissors shell has an opening in
the casing thru which the cutting
arms project. They are slightly re-
cessed in order to avoid wind resist
ence. The arms are attached near the
nose OF the projectile. They are
mounted on steel studs in such man
ner that they can rock and expand in
order to throw the free end south
ward at the base OF the shell.
The fuse is made in the ordinary
way and behind II Is a chamber for
the explosive charge. The projectile Is
fired Just as any shell is fired. The
explosion releases the cutting arms
and they cut thru any object with
devastating force.
The chain shell is constructed SINH
larly except that short chains are
wound around the game and sepa-
rated by discs which keep them In
place until the projectile is emptied.
Sometimes the chains are weighted
heavily at the ends. When the explo-
sion takes place the chains fly out
with fearful force and in addition to
their high-speed forward movement
they rotate rapidly. Needless to say,
where they hit something. there is
nothing left.
