Seven Billion Dollars
A gabulous sum Of money, al
most inconceivable. Yet our
government has recently appro-
priated this amount, and every
dollar of it is being put into cir
culation in the United States.
Divided equally, every American
citizen would receive as his or
her share about $40. In addi-
ton to this, the allies are spend
ing added billions wit hus. Our
country is prosperous and it will
continue to be. Business is not
only going to be 'as usual" but
better.
Let us put our shoulder to the wheel
and all push together. There is no
need Of boarding money but there is
need. Of keeping it in circulation if this
war is to be won. Buy what you want,
s save what you can and eliminate needs
less extravaganza.

never seen any such demonstration in
any city near it's size as was made in
Hammond on that day; in fact, we are
very proud of the position Hammond
has taken in this crisis. The city could
not be more alive and awake to the
situation than it is, and as stated
above. the undoubted sentiment is in
favor of universal military service. The
volunteer system is looked upon as
unfair and inadequate. and the hope
is that it will be entirely abandoned,
so that regardless of the needs of this
war with Germany, the policy OF uni
versal military service and training
will be firmly and fully established in
this country this being the only fair
basis for service under our form of
government.

pie are opposed to any kind of con-

should be no exception. The service
should be universal. calling the men

those persons would be doing more for
the government by remaining In their

again the scene of heavy night
fighting, in which powerful Ger
man counter assaults were brok-
en- up by French artillery fire.
The war office today announced
the capture OF more tl.an l,13O adj
ditional German prisoners in the
yerdun sector. bringing the total
number Ct captives up to about
1000 since the French offensive
opened q week ago.
Along the heights north Of the

followed a violent combat with
big guns that had been raging for
several days.
There was savage fighting
around Beaumont, east Of the
Meuse river. but the French
maintained all their positions.
The Eerdun attacks represented a
desperate effort by the German
crown prince to recapture some OF
the ground lost , the French
during the past week. but all the
assaults broke down with heavy
losses. West of the Meuse the
Germans vigorously shelled the

WAS sunk by a U-boat OF the English

time the Childe Haroll sailed. but
only the shippers and owners were
supposed TO know this.

POLICE FAIL IN HUNT

Capitol police are still hunting for
the unknown person or persons who
broke into the office of Senator Sim

Members OF the committee are at a
loss to know whether a German spy
was responsible or whether it was
some one seeking to find out what
was contained in the revenue bill
when 1t was being mIde up by the
committee. This is by no means the
first time when the committee rooms
have been burglarized. Members of

bills were under consideration, the
offices have been entered.
