The general opinion was that in Gary
the committee should aid the city gov
eminent and not confine itself to anti
white slavery work as in Chicago.

Commercial club was the first speaker.
Mt Schaeffer. who is the right hand

ferred to as the gentleman responsible
for bringing Mr.. Thrasher of the Chi

Gary cannot complain if they do not
assist the officers of their city govern
ment. A B. Keller business partner of
Gen. Supt. Gleason of the steel plant,
spoke of the need of an organization in
Gary A G. Dickson. secretary of the
Y NJ c. A, acted as secretary OF the
meeting and read the constitution of the
CHICAGO people.

made a corporation instead of an as

would avoid legal intricacies. Thus if
the association went after any one and
it didn't have the goods on them" suits
for defamation of character might re-
suit If the committee were corpora
ton then the members would not be in
dividually liable for damages. but suits
could merely be directed against the

AS the Germans we're near by much

quietly. The troops turned a corner
and disappeared down an ink black

there listened he looked continuously
at an Illuminated watch dial. He said:
"The men from the other direction

No "strafe" developed although the
Germans put over few customary
shells, hitting nothing.
The troops entered the trenches
safely, unit by unit passing quickly to
the places assigned them. Quietness
was essential but the French welcome
none the less was heard and it was
enthusiastic. Every American was

clouds, they got their first view of the
German lines stretching away in the
rolling terrain.
