land grabber's talks. We will blow
up Hills and all those who bring
him here, read a letter received
recently by Capt Bunker of the
South Bend police force. As a con-
sequence the high school auditor
ium in Misha waka where the great
man spoke Thursday evening, was
guarded by Is policemen in civilian
dress and two plain clothesmen, and
every effort made TO guard against
possible attack.
Early Thursday evening a Chi
cago newspaper telephoned 10 a
local organ advising that certain
reported pro-German citizens be
carefully watched and that special
precautions be taken for the even
ing.
Later in the evening the report
became Circulated about town that

stage during the lecture. Many peo-
pie Of nervous disposition conse-
quently kept away from the build
ing Lockers were searched care
fully and watch kept upon every
person entering the house. When
Dr. Hills arrived he was taken
hurriedly TO the auditorium by a
body-guard and was later taken to
South Bend under careful escort.
Repeated threats have been made
against his life by prO-Germap
sympathizers. IF you don't quit
calling us Huns" said one in an
anonymous letter, I'VE will blow

Capt. Bunker received the threat
ening missive shortly before the
coming of Sir George Reid, who
spoke before the Knife and Fork
club last Tuesday evening. Threats
were made against the noted Eng
lishman as we'll as Hills and it was
necessary to provide police protec-
ton.
From all appearances the letter
was written by a man Of more than
ordinary education, although efforts
were made to disguise identity by
misspelled words and incOherency.
II was profusely decorated with
skulls and cross bones and other
insignias Of frightfulness. 1t is i'm
possible to say where the letter
came from. Il has been turned over
10 the federal authorities.

The past year has brought many
new experiences and added respon-

largely the task of the banks TO sup

war and they are entitled 10 much
credit for the manner in which they
have supplied their borrowing Gus

time soliciting their depOsitors To

pose.
Strict regulation has been found
necessary for many classes of bust
ness but the banks of the country
have taken care of their unusual
burdens without regulation Of any
kind. They have shown an immense
amount of resource and courage.
Mishawaka people may we'll feel
proud of their banking institutions.
They have subscribed for them
selves and their customers during
the past six months to Liberty loans
to the amount of S6SO,0OO,000 and
have accomplished it without asking
assistance Of any kind. They have
extended loans the same as usual.

credit for the overthrow Of German
militarism. We must throw off our
lethargy and face the reality that
only by bloodshed and heartbreak
can we stay the force which has al

and horror over the old world.
In the face OF what has taken
place in France and Belgium. there
is something unnatural and gro
tesquely unreal in Americas mon
strous indifference her deliberate
ignorance Of the hideous atrocities
which have admittedly been com
mitted There is something tragic
ally farcial in our uninterrupted
gaity, our needless pursuit after the
pleasures and vanities long since for

And the senseless squabbIing
which has stood I'm the way of the
adequate equipment Of our fighting
men, while Germany presses on in
the prosecution of new and even
more unnameable horrors against
helpless Italy, is the very climax of
folly at which all America should
groan.

Saturday night jamboree in which
two husbands and two wives were
the principals, was threshed out this
morning before Judge George Koenig
soinpolice court Theodore Sediva and
Joe Logu were arrested on complaints
OF their helpmeets Mrs. Sediva, who
married Teddy. September 3, 1917, was
so angered at her liege lords conduct
that she wanted the judge to divorce
her right then and there.
The party was held in the family
home-both couples reside in the same
house on west Jackson street--Satur-
day. A keg Of beer provided the two
men with too much exhuberance and
when they became desirous Of lit.
tie exercise, it is claimed they started
to amuse themselves by teasing" the
women.
Both women were so incensed they
would not submit to anything but
punishment for their husbands.
Judge Koenig being In accommodating
frame OF mind soaked them each IS
and costs, which they paid,
