the most sensational plots in the world

Montenegrin recruiting mission.
Headed by two powerful political
factors in the country or Montenegro.
the mission was authorized by the
United States government to further
the interests OF the Serbs and Non
tenegrins in this country in the war.
The commission-Milosh Evanovich.

treasury. accompanied by Valdemir j.
Lazovich interpreter. was touring the
country when their lives were attempt
ed by melting Berbs at a great mass
meeting at Indiana Harbor. Septem-
Der u. Miraculously they escaped
with nothing more than a few flesh
lacerations.
Federal authorities are Of the belief
that the two Detroit newspaper pub
fishers held BY Cary police are the
brains" OF the intrigue to rid the
United States OF the commission.
Miro Mitrovich, president and nanag-
ing editor OF a Detroit Montenegrin
publishing company. and the secretary

were served with federal warrants last
night issued by United States Com

way Authorities declared today they
believe the three men sent to Federal
prison Wednesday BY Commissioner
Surprise to await action by the grand
Jury for having incensed the crowd

When the church bells toll for a period
of ten minutes tomorrow. the people
will again be reminded that investing in
liberty bonds is religious duty. All
the clergyment viii speak on the issue
from their pulpits tomorrow. Hammond
undoubtedly is showing the right spirit.

Mrs. o. c Matthies. city chairman Of
the Woman's Loan Committee, is getting
all kinds Of interesting sidelights from
her loyal and steadfast workers over
the city. This noon these patriotic won-

more than $4,000. Among some of
these reports Mrs. Matthies has receiv-
ed, was one about a thoughtful son who
bought a liberty bond with a view of
surprising his mother with it as a
Christmas gift. Another woman rather
than miss a liberty bond decided to
forego a new winter coat Another one
said she could not do without shows
and ice cream. On the whole the work
ers find their campaign interesting and
inspiring.
In connection with the woman's work
Mrs Matthies today made the following
statement;
We have clamored for woman's
rights. Why not insist on our right to
make the second bond issue a success ?
Why give that privilege to the men
alone? Every housekeeper's liberty loan
button means that has a personal in
terest in the affairs of the nation: that
her aspirations rise above material
things represented by food and clothes.

If The TINES hadn't learned the truth

this:
Charles Surprise, United States COM
missioner was bound. beaten, and robb-

night by a murderous gang of outlaws
who pIundered then set fire to his home.
Just as the bandits were going to kill
him-Charles woke UP.
My but it was a terrible dream, -
ssvelteringly declared the commissioner
over the phone TO q reporter today.
Why. I've been feeling to see if my
right eye has been in it's proper place all
day" he said.

commissioner now. That is the old
adage OF one who dreams has a troubled
conscience. Charles can't get the con
nection. Anyway I'm glad I've got my
eye. Gee. that was terrible" vouched
