Milwaukee. March 11.-Events have
developed TO demonstrate that Mil
waukee. despite its LARGE German popu-
lation, can be counted upon as thor
oughly loyal 10 the Administration IN
the international crisis.
At meeting of 5000 Serbs, Bo-
hemians and Savs message OF loyalty
was sent TO the President. At meet
ing of 1000 Greeks, the President was
asked to use his influence 10 raise the
blockade against Greece, the Greeks at
the same time pledging loyalty TO
America.
The so-called loyalist committee
which secured 25,OOO signatures to its
message TO the President declaring the
city's Endorsement of his acts in the
German crisis, has announced a mons
ter mass meeting for next Saturday and
will call on all the $4,000 signers TO
make good their signatures by working
for q LOYALTY demonstration such as
America has never seen.
The Waterfowl. Wis, Turnvereln

President and announced it's with
drawal from the German-American Al
lance. Watertown was the home of
brewing By Western Germans before
Milwaukee beer was heard of and is a
more solidly German city than any
other Wisconsin municipality.
The meeting Of Serbs and Bohemians
was a demonstration. II opened with
the Serbian national hymn and closed
with the "Star SpanFled Banner sung
standing. A resolution was adopted
declaring that La Toilette, by his con-
duct in the Senate, "misrepresented
the policies of the people Of Wiscon-
SIM" who, the resolution declared, were
not TRAITORS"

Other Hindus Received Money

From the same source il was learned
that the 100000 paid Chakraberty by
Won l~el, and the $4,000 10 $4,000 paid
Gup,o were not the only moneys Ger
many paid 20 Hindus i'm this country
IN the hope Of stirring up trouble in
India.
4 high Official declared last night
that there are between 5000 and 1000
Hindus in this country and Canada.
All are Of the labor.ng class, and are
engaged in agriculture on the Pacific
Coast, with the exception of $50, who
are studying az the various universe
ties.
"Of these 25O students" said this Of
iicial. about 200 have received German
money. Nearly all OF them, however,
are loyal Britishers, and when they
took the money it was with their
tongues in their checks. They just
milked the Germans"
The disaiIected in India commenced
the plans for rebellion long before the
war broke out. But the Hindus were
without the sineWs Of war until Ger
agents, acting, ii is said. under orders
Of Captain Won Papen, furnished them
with money, and two expeditions left
San Francisco within two months after
hostlities commenced.
Since the war started nearly all these
Hindu Nationalists OF the physical
force variety have been on the German
payrolls. Proof that many Of them re-
ceived money from Won Papen and Won
lgel was furnished to the State Depart
ment al Washington by Superintendent
Ofley's men when they arrested Won
lgel a year ago and seized two suit
cases Of discriminating documents.
New Indictments Expected
These documents were before the
Federal grand jury last week and will
be examined by that body again.
The names OF many prominent men
appear in these papers. and indictments

sledges, carrying victims of the old
regime back to freedom in the new
Russia from the mines and convict
settlements of Siberia, are speeding

POrches


WENE been building porches on our
w houses ever since building began, SO
one may suppose that we will continue TO
include them in our plans for some time TO
come. But let us not look on a porch as a
requirement to make house look like a
mouse or In order that It should be like its
neighbors; let us, rather, think lust why
and where we would like to have the porch
and then so design and place Il to meet our
particular purposes.
We wish our houses to look we'll and our
designs and plans are made partly to that
end, but more than this or any other con.
sideration we design and build our houses
10 live In. During the warm summer months
we like to spend much of our time in the
open air. so If we have placed our porch
with regard to pleasant view and the
proper exposure 1t will become. during these
months, an exceedingly pleasant outdoor
living room. So we should consider the porch
as an important part of the flrst-floor plan
and not merely n means Of decoration for
the exterior.
porch at the entrance Of a house is a
matter of preference unless It Is combined
with the main porch 1t should be small, as
1t serves only the purpose of affordng n
little protection to one standing at the door.
A projecting cornice or hood over the door
will answer this purpose just as we'll.
Quite often, when the lot Is narrow. IL Is
found that from a consideration Of ex-
posure the best position for the porch is on
the rear of the house, In which case tho
proper thing to do would be to put the porch
on the rear facing the back yard. But why
should 1t overlook the back yard why
should it not overlook a cool. shady garden
A trellis overgrown with vines would COM
pletely obscure a small kitchen yard, and so
the remainder Of the yard could be planted
