WAITING STREET
BEING VACATED

jacent to the property Of the Standard
Forgings company. is under process of
vacation 10y the Board Of Works Of
the city Of East Chicago.
The Forgings company. which &
now in charge of the government -
ell intents and purposes, has taken It
for granted that the vacation proceed
ings would go through and have al
ready begun the rapid construction or
Plant extensions covering the street in
question.
1t now looks as il a property owner
across Michigan avenue from the plant
would demonstrate against the vaca-
ton of the street on the grounds that
the erection OF a plant right across
the street from his business property
would materially reduce its value
There is even some talk OF ar injunc-
ton process being instituted provid-

Titus In Charge.

Lilburn Titus. unsalaried deputy
game and fsh warden. has been named
as state agent for the distribution of
carp and buffalo fish. These kinds of
fish viii sell at 5 or cents a pound
8 TO 10 cents cheaper than they can be
had elsewhere. The fish will be sup
piled by the state from seining done in
Deep and Kankakee river.
While many people don't like carp
they are really said to be delicious
when properly handled. They are con
sidered a great delicacy in the foreign
quarter, where some of the residents
would rather have nice boiled carp
than a roast squad and bottle of
NUNS extra dry.
Agent Titus expects to have two state
fish agencies in Gary very soon. one
near city market and one in the soursa
side.

binger is going TO ask the restaurant
men to use more fish.

The only thing about the nsh question
that bothers the people of Gary is that
since the eat-a-fish movement got go
ing the people who sell FISH have pa
triotlcally raised 1t ten cents a pound
To even buy a can OF salmon knocks a
hole in a dollar bill as big as a dyna-
mite explosion would.
Anyhow. every one is expected to
pitch in eat fish. save meat and help
win the war despite the Prussians and
war profiteers.

Government Appsals To Lab
orig Classes To Subscribe
For Liberty Bonds

Atlanta, Ca, October 19.-(Spe-
ciaD-Secretary Of Labor, William
B. Wilson has just sent from Wash
ington, through the executive COM
mittee for the sixth federal reserve
district, the following appeal to
laboring men to participate to the
full extent of their ability in the
Second Liberty Loan bond issue:
To the Wage Workers
Of the United States:
The great European war in which
we are now involved came to the
people Of the Western Hemisphere
as terrible shock, and to no portion
of the people did it come as a great
er shock than to the wage earners of
the United States. They believed
in and wanted international peace,
but they wanted it on a basis of in
ternational justice which would in
sure the right of our people to gov
ern themselves. When the Imperial
German Government undertook to
destroy the lives of our people and
to impose rule of conduct upon US
without our consent in places under
the jurisdiction Of the United
States Government, there was no
course left but to resist.
The workers have more at stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in a democracy that
the common people can come into
their own. The great privilege is
not given to all of US to serve our
country on the battle field or in the

upon, go and make good in the job
assigned to you and win your medal
and wear it and be proud Of it.
When the Government began to
organize this voluntary service
among boys, so as to meet the inev-
liable shortage of man-power, the
skeptics and fault-finders got busy.
They said that boys living in cities
and towns never could be induced to
work on farms, that farmers didn't
want to have the town boys around
because they would prove to be
green or lazy or Indifferent, and the
whole thing was a fool contraption.
Doesn't your common sense and
your knowledge of addition and sub
traction tell you that if we suddenly
take 100000 or more men right
out of the productive industries of
this country, we must either find
million men to take their places or
else go short on production?
Are we going to do as they have
done in England-dress the women
and girls in mems garments and
put them to cleaning the streets and
making explosives and wiping up To-
comotives in roundhouses and doing
all the hard menial tasks? We
mustn't come to that-not while we
have on hand a whole army of young
fellows between 16 and FL, nearly
every one Of whom has gone in for
some kind Of athletic sport and is
physically able and would be as mad
as hornet if you told him he was
a mama's pet and not able to do
mans work.
The boys between 16 and 21 can
and will supply the shortage of man
power. :.
There will be loud call for them
in 1918 and they must answer the
call.

Red Cross Feeds Ser
bians

AS part of the American Red
Cross program for aid to Serbia
which has undertaken in cooperation
with the Serbian Government, the
Red Cross has just shipped 5000
bags of flour for Serbans in Aus
trlan prison camps.
This is the first shipment Of a Sc
rieS of food purchases which the
Red Cross. in cooperation with the
Serbian government. is making in
this country fer relief of prisoners.
The Serbian Minister has deposited
100000 20 the credit Of the Red
Cross for the purpose Of these food
stuffs.
The Allies must provide living ne
cessities for their soldiers who are
captured, because the Central Pow
ers are not providing prisoners of
war with sufficient food to keen
them in good health BY arrange
ment with Germany and Austria,
prisoners are permitted to receive
extra rat;ons and clothing from their
home governments. Lack of sup
plies in Europe has forced Serbia
to buy in the United States.
To follow the shipment of flour
which has just been dispatched, ad-
ditional consignments of foodstuffs
and clothing for Serbian prisoners
are now being assembled and will be
shipped by the American Red Cross.
The shipments go to the Serbian
Consul at Marseilles, and thence
through the Serbian Section of the
Bureau de Secours at Berne, SwitZ-
erland, to prison camps in Austria.
The American Red Cross now has
a special Commission in Serbia,
headed by Cordenio Arnold Sever
ance, of St. Paul, MINI. The raw
ages of war there are said to have
been worse than in Belgium and
Roumania, and many Serbian refu-
gees have been entirely dependent
upon America for relief. Next to
Belgium and France, Serbia has
been the chief center Of American
relief work abroad.
