fresh quarry. Sighting the outline OF
"a stationery destroyer, from which
shouts were heard, the Swift APP

to find that it was the destroyer which
had already been rammed by the
Broke. The Germans were believing
I'VE surrender"
Fearing treachery, the Swift waited
and presently the destroyer heeled over
and sank stern first, the crew jumping
into the water.
AS no other enemy was visible ana

imately five minutes. appeared TO be

searchlights and lowered boats to
rescue the swimmers Those who re-
NAMED of the crews of the Swift and
the Broke after exchanging details of
the action cheered each other until
they were hoarse.
The British casualties are set down
as comparatively slight and the spirit
OF the wounded is illustrated by the
conduct of the Broke's helmsman,
Seaman William Wowles, who though
hit four times by shell fragments, re-
manned at the wheel throughout the
action, and finally only betrayed the
fact that he was wounded by reporting
to his captain:
I'm going off now, Sir" and tainted.

world will be at peace. If they succeed
America will fall within the menace.
We and all the rest of the world must
remain armed as they will remain and

be of the union.
The facts are patent to all the world
and nowhere are they more plainly seen
than in the United States where we are
accustomed to deal with facts and not
sophistry; and the great fact that
stands above all the rest is that this Is

justice and government among all
the nations of the world, a war to make
the world safe for the peoples who live

NOT PATRIOTIC?
Continued From Page one,

state. They are counties whose people
have plenty of money, and who are able
to buy all of the bonds that they ought
to buy. How to account for this failure
to toe the mark is a difficult problem.
Surely. it cannot be any question of
patriotism, for Indiana stands in the
front rank as a patriotic people. But
as one official said. yesterday. after
examining the list of counties and the
amount of bonds they have bought:
Il do not like to think that we have
people in Indiana who are patriotic in
words only. 1t never has been so be-
fore. I prefer to think that their fail
ure to buy the bonds is due to the fact
that the matter has not been impressed
on them and that they do not realize the
real seriousness of the war and the alb
solute necessity for raising this money
to pay the initial expenses of the
struggle"
Here is an interesting list It gives
the names of some of the counties. the
amount of Liberty bonds that was al
loted to them and the amount of bonds
that had been subscribed for in those
counties up to today.
Counties. Allotment. Subscrip's.
Allen ------------S2,S30 S 455.000
Huntington ------ 616.000 299.150

Laporte --------- 1.052.00O 500
Lake ------------ 100000 1929 900
st. Joseph ----- 1.95a000 1900, 900
All of these counties are in the north
ern part of the state. OF the entire
list given above, St Joseph is the only
one that has come across as it should.
The entire list for the state shows that
among the counties that have oversub-
scribed their allotments a majority are
in the south part of the state.
The Liberty Loan committee is hop
ing that final figures will show better

CROOK JUMPS BOND
TO QUIT CITY

Special Officer Ed Touart, doing
plain clothes duty in the carnival
crowds near the corner of Palafox
and Garden streets, ran up on and
arrested a stranger who gave his
name as Harry Moore. but who is
thought to have been a crook of more
than ordinary ability. Moore, held as
a dangerous and suspicious character,
offered to furnish cash bond of 800,
which was accepted. Yesterday morn
ing when his name was called in the
recorders court he did not respond,
and the recorder was told that Moore
had stated publicly he was going to
leave the city. On such statement be-
ing made, the bond was forfeited, and
the city is 800 richer in consequence,
in addition to being rid of the pres
ence of very undesirable citizen.
When detected by the special Of
ficer named, it was stated that Moore
was not in the act of purloining the
pockets of spectators at the fair
grounds. but appeared to be getting
extremely familiar with citizens and
he was taken into custody.
