LOOK FOR CARP:

Says the Hobart Gazette: .Madding
brothers. who are seining Deep river for
carp. made a lucky drag last Friday
when they landed the skull of a large
elk. solidly to which were attached two
horns that measured between tips four
feet and two inches. Marshal Smith Of
East Gary happened to be with the sein-
ing party at the time and reports that
the horns and skull are well preserved
and beautiful specimen of that char
acter. Each horn has several prongs.
The find was made at the Bijou bridge
"Old settlers say no elks have roamed
these parts in over sixty years. so it has
been several scores of years since the
possessor of the beautiful horns lost his
life by drowning while crossing the
muddy stream. or was wounded by some
hunter and preferred a watery grave 10
capture.
Although the finders have already
been offered quite a sum for the horns
they should be preserved by mounting
them in the town hall at East Cary

PATRIOTS
To MEET

TWO hundred representatives Of all
city organizations will meet tonight at
o'clock in. superior court room No. l, to
put over the biggest effort vet made to
instil "Americanism and patriotism" in
Hammond.
THE American Alliance" as origin
ated by Sergeant William S. Welch is
forecasted to arouse the citizenry OF
Hammond-and If successful here. the
nation-as it has never been aroused
before, that the people may realize and
comprehend why we are at war" and
work and save and cheer accordingly.
The organization of an American AL
lance is imperative" said one leaoer
today. Reports have been numerous
marks and un-American actions in Ham
mond. This should be stamped out. We
are or should be Americans. Some think
they will wake UP some morning soon
and the war will be over. Now is the
time. not tomorrow or a week from to-
morrow. to strike for one cause-De-
mocracy. I hope to see every delegate
present at tonights meeting to com
plete the formulation of the American
Alliance.
There are two things that are all
important First-That the people be
made to realize what we are up against
and second and more importnt-that
they give to the president, the war de-
partment. the council of national de-
fense. the state government and those
who are carrying the burden the sup
port that is necessary"
Major Thomas F. Ryan, head OF the
Fort Wayne recruiting district. and ex-
Senator Frank Gavit of Whiting, viii
be the principal speakers at tonight's
conference.
Major Ryan upon receipt Of Washing
ton authority will stamp the war de-
partment's approval upon the new plan.
Senator Gavit will address the repre-
senattives fully on American basis. Ser
geant Welch, Attorney McAleer, Judge
v s. Reiter and other prominent Cit
izens will make short talks Attorney

ance, will be master of ceremonies.

(Sy Unitsd Press.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-
Former German Ambassador Count
Bernstorff was an active anti-Amer-
lean plotter while his hation and
the United States were still friend
ly, and asked the Berlin foreign
office, January p, for $4,000 to
influence congress votes as on
former occasions.
The state department made this
public today in announcing the text
of a message he forwarded on that
date. The state department an
nouncement said:
The secretary of states issues
the following message from Am
bassador Won Bernstorff to the Ber-
lin foreign office, dated January %,
1917:
- request authority to pay out
up to s5O,bOO in order as on former
occasions to influence congress
through the organization you know
of which can perhaps prevent war.
" I am beginning in the meantime
to act accordingly.
In the above Circumstances a
public official German declaration
in favor of Ireland is highly desir-
able in order TO gain the support of
Irish influences here"
The state department did not an
nounce the name of the organization
which was to handle the $4,000 nor the
way in which the message came into the
governments possession.
This is the first positive evidence
made public that Bernstorff had per-
sonal knowledge of the German intrigue
in the United States although it has long
been expected he was the directing head
of the anti-American work. The govern
ment had already proved that his aid.
the Austrian ambassador. was conduct
ing a vicious plot while the two coun-
tries were still at peace.
Bernstorff's advice concerning Ireland
apparently was taken for in one of her
peace recommendations Germany made
much of the fact that she was for home
rule in ireland and India.
It is significant also that during this
period Bernstorff was telling the press
he would do all in his power to prevent
war between this country and the Omitted
States. Less than ten days later the
unwarned submarine decree went into
effect.

was weird and chilly prophecy that L

with him from Washington in regard to
the coal situation. He said:
Winter will bring to this country the
first realization that we are involved in
war. and the weakest point in our armor
is our fuel supply. The country is GO
ing to get cold this winter much colder
than any winter since Valley Forge. In
parts of the country there can be no
doubt there will be great distress In
dications are that Indiana will get
through the winter better than most of
the other states. The situation is such.
however. that II is little short Of GRIM
inal to waste fuel of any kind this fail.
This country has been given to over
heating its houses and it will be good
thing, health authorities say. If it will
let the crisp fall air have a little better
show this fall to invigorate US that is
usually the case Fires should not be

AND YOU
SHOULD SEE
THEM RUN

Two girls selling tiny inexpensive
American flags-the kind you pay FIVE
cents a dozen fo--for ten cents apiece
were chased from town this morning
by Mrs. Myrtle l'feffer. police cop.
They would stop a man with: This
is flag day Want flag?"-at the same
time pinning it on YOU.
The man would dig for the dime. It
would mean another nine and nine
tenths cents profit to her.
The practice OF defrauding the people
is not only obtaining money under false
pretense but is detrimental to legal en-
terprises such as the Red Cross and
hospital tag days.
