The Red Cross has issued to this
country an appeal for assistance. an ap-
peal for funds. The Red Cross will at
tempt to open the hearts of the country
at large 1t is a difficult task. Your
brothers tell you their sons lie dead.
Your heart aches, and you try to under
stand it. You feel it-You think you
feel it. But it IS not your son. and
you have no conception, even though he
be one of the nearest you have in the
world to you. of what your brother
feels. It is your brothers son that lies
dead. In six months. in three months,
in one month your own son lies dead.
1t is for every one of US to bring before
this country now what it feels like to
have our own son lying dead there. The
Red Cross is about to issue the S. o. s.
call to this country. to save it from
ignorance. from Indifference, from care
lessness, from selfishness.
1t is a difficult task. but $780, 600, 900
must be raised Immediately.

CURIOUS NIGHT WATCH
MAN LOSES IN CRURT

Judge Fred Barnett in the Hammond
city court today rendered a decision
which will earn for him the gratitude
of countless thousands.
The judge decided that "a man has a
right to defend the papers on his desk
against the curiosity of the janitor or
the night watchman. No longer are
they public property. The decision is
as important as though a court had
ruled a country postmaster has no
right to read postcards or slip the COW
er off the paper and digest the news
before delivery.
w. r. Patterson. for four years pres
ident of the board of education in West
Hammond, was arrested by Pearl Hen
ley, night watchman, on charge of
assault and battery. In court today
Patterson admitted hitting Henley on
the head with hammer. but said the
watchman had struck him first.
The evidence showed that an argu-
ment started between the two men
when Henley objected to Hands off,
note left by Patterson inside the lat
ter's desk. In order to see the note
Henley had to raise the roll top. whicii
was exactly what Patterson didn't
want him to do. The men are employ
ed at the Chicago iced and Fertilizer

Any Further Efforts Of U. S TO
Compose Chinese Difficulties
Are Embarrassed.
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Japan has
turned down the United States request
that she join America in Wilson's re-
cent advice to China to composer her
internal difficulties. This fact was an
nounced today following receipt of ad-
vices showing that Great Britain too
had disregarded Americas suggestion
for joint action in the Chinese situa-
tion.
japan apparently was sensitive and
somewhat embittered because the Unit
ed States in the first instance did not
consult her about the Chinese situa-
tion. Japan's paramount interest" in
China evidently influenced her to with
hold support of the American position
but Great Britain's refusal perplexes
authorities hero who tnus far have had
no official reason from England for the
refusal.
The United States secretly asked the
allied powers to join in her advice in
China after the note had been dispatch
ed. Great Britain's Official answer had
not reached the state department today
but there was no reason to doubt the
unofficial report that her reply was a
rejection.
Officials attempted to minimize the
Importance of the refusals but II was
pointed out that they will probably en-
barrass any further American efforts to
compose the Chinese internal difficult

ROBBERY
OF BANK
PLANNED

Ihat the robbery of the First State
bank at Tolleston yesterday noon was
planned is the opinion of Gary Chief of
Police Forbis. who with squad of
detectives last night secured the sur
runding woods, in which the robber
made his escape. No trace of the hold
up man was found
Takes 500.
The robbery. the second at the bank
within six months. was similar to the
Chicago bandit raids. 1t is possible
that the thief is a member of a Chi
cago bandit gang.
In bills of different denominations
the largest being a bundle of $500 in
IS bills, the robber made away with
$3.50. 1t was first reported that he
took but $500 but investigation proved
that he grabbed money off hooks and
shelves. possibly totalling over the
given amount.
Well Laid Plans.
The robber, who is known at the
bank as c. A Buff, probably fictitious
name, contemplated the robbery sew
eral months ago. according TO evidence
produced by Chief Forbis. In March
Buff deposited $3.50. From time to time
he would draw this amount out and
re-deposit it in order to acquaint him.
self with the bank A few weeks ago
he bought a safety deposit box in
which was found by the detectives
nothing but a few scraps of paper.
Yesterday at 1920 Buff rode to the
bank on a bicycle. He asked the
cashier. c. E. Phillips. to open his box.
Phillips turned and Buff struck him
with a crude blackjack which the po-
lice have in their possession How
ever. Phillips was not unconscious.
arising he made for Buff but was held
at bay by a revolver. Buff grabbed
currency within his reach and ran
out of the bank, climbed on his wheel
and escaped into the woods.
A posse Immediately followed and
olthough they came within seeing dis
tance of him several times were stop

them, it is said.
Buff was dressed in a dark suit and

CROWN POINT, IND, June 15.-
Suit to enjoin the construction of the
$500, 900 district sewer west of Clark
road was filed against the city of Gary
in the circuit court yesterday by At
torneys Wildermuth of Gary and Barr
of Crown Point for the heirs of the Ed
ward NJ Mandell tract of land compris-
ing between two and three /. thousand
acres.
The Improvement is attacked on the
grounds that there are only about
twenty houses 1 nthe benefited district
of FIVE or six square miles and that it
is therefore unnecessary to expend such
a vast amount to furnish sewage for
that number of houses. The complaint
recites that the cost of the sewer TO
the Mandell heirs alone would be
$4,000.
