TANKS LOAD UP FOR
DRY DAYS IN FUTURE

From the extraordinary number
of persons that appeared in an in
toXicated condition in the down
town streets Saturday night, it was
apparent that a great number of
people realized the fact that the
state of Indiana is scheduled to be
registered on the dry list Tuesday,
April >, providing the state supreme
court is not convinced otherwise.
Residents OF South Bend we're
not the only' ones figuring in the
future. As all interurban cars go
ing TO the nearby villages and
towns carried passengers heavily
laden with grips and suit cases that
would have caused much grief to
the possessor If they ever received
a severe jolt One man that seem
ed TO be having some difficulty
IN carrying two suit cases besides
a real package was taken to the
police station. On his arrival be-
coming excited he set the grips
down with a thud. IL was not
long until the first floor of the
city hall resembled a small lake.
Upon investigation it was found
that two gallons of whiskey had
been broken. The owner after
breathing a deep sigh said well
have two more in the other grip. ="
Although the police anticipated a
busy night. no serious disorders
were reported.

The prisoners are from the same

score of dead in our trenches and

the enemy has not drawn on this

Tomorrow morning the army of
solicitors will start out to cover the
entire city of South Bend and will
personally reach every man. wom-
an and child in the city. giving
them an opportunity to do their
share toward filling South Bends
war chest.
1t scarcely seems possible that
any one who reads the newspapers,
who walks the streets or who has
had a conversation with his neigh
Dor. can be in ignorance of the
methods and purposes of the great
war relief fund.
This community, like all populous
communities of the country, finds
itself at this time face TO face with
serious problems arising out of the
war, which has hardly commenced
for the United States.
Pres't Wilson has recently stated
that experts have reached the con-
clusion that at least two more
years of war should be expected,
and many thoughtful people are
coming 10 see that the war needs
which every community must help
to meet will soon become vastly
greater and the problem of supply
ing them much more difficult unless
some comprehensive and we'll or
ganized plan is devised and pat
into action to meet the situation.
Impromptu temporary and limit
ed organizations have collected
large funds from a limited number
of persons during the past years.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-03-31

The records show that between
1900 and 1000 persons have sup
ported all Of the charity and relief
funds of South Bend in the past.
That this is manifestly unfair is
admitted by all thinking people. The
patriotic and civic relief fund, more
popularity known as South Bend
War Chest, has been arranged TO
take care Of all possible relief
claims during the Il months and
II is confidently expected that every
single wage earning individual as
well as the business heads of the
various concerns will do his share.
Personal service and money
power must be conserved for the
greater needs of the future. Ere
quent campaigns in which teams
canvass a community for money
must be eliminated The whole
community must in some way be-
come interested, educated, organized
and' engaged in the work to the end
that a maximum support shall be
secured.
The Plan Chosen.
The South Pend Chamber of
Commerce has considered several
plans and the plan which seems
must likely 10 meet the situation has
been tried most successfully n
Syracuse, y. Y, for the raising OF
funds. and can. with some modii-
cation be applied in South Bend.
Their campaign was inaugurated
during the last week of June, 1917,
in the hope Of raising a fund OF at
least 100000 for each year of the
war. This fund TO be subscribed
in the form of memberships at the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-03-31

rate OF 81 per month for each
month during the war. The cam
paign resulted in the pledging Of
subscriptions for each year amount
ing TO $1,159,397. Almost all the
subscriptions were made on a
monthly basis for the period of the
war
In South Bend the subscriptions
will be taken for a period of one
year only, from April Is. 1918. until
April IS, 1919. AS TO the amounts
subscribed it must be clearly un-
derstood that the Chamber of Com
merce directors do not propose TO
dictate and merely suggest that the
basis of about two per cent of the
wage earners' salary be subscribed
Thus a monthly income of $50
would contribute 81 or more per
monht; SIS, $50 or more per
month; SIS. $50 or more per
month.
Too much emphasis cannot be
given the intent that the plan is
not devised to permit present givers
to do or give less, but rather 20
permit the community to provide
more, and 10 furnish every person
in South Bend the opportunity to
give and TO do according to his abil-
ity. Like a united family all South
Bend must pull together in devoted
watchfulness over our fighting
forces. We. who cannot go "over
there" must fight with our money.
What are a few paltry dollars COM
pared with the lives, the sacrifices
and privation Of the boys who are
daring death in the trenches and on
the seas?

The Germans tried to gas a GER

That wooden ship yards TO be
employed in the construction of
wooden ships for this government
shall be free to contract with pri-
vate interests for the construction
of wooden ships: such ships TO be
built by American ORGANIZATIONS and
sailed under the flag of the United

ing and under any contract dated

The motor ship was said 10 pos

Diesel engine, will not require boil
ers, steam piping, condensers. va

will burn oil, they Will not need
firemen and as the auxiliary sails
TO be carried by them will be ope-
rated mechanically, IL is claimed
that they will not make heavy de-
mands for manning and interfere
with the operation of the govern
ment vessels.
The motor vessels probably will
be put into the Pacific coast and
China trade. Until the program is
advanced farther officials declined
to estimate the time required for
completion of the ships. Their de-
signed speed is from eight TO nine
knots.
shortage of steel plates is caus-
ing the shipping board much ankle
" and may lead 10 a change in the
policy Of allotting the output OF
mills so that there will be no dan
ger of stopping work in any yard
through lack of materials. As the
restrictions on coke production dur
ing the winter are only the begin
ming TO be felt in steel production,
April is expected 10 be a critical
month in the building program.
Work in the yards officials said
today is speeding up. The five
