BELGIAN PEOPLE
IN MASS MEETING
CyrieI Vermeren, the Belgian
Counsel at Chicago, Heard
by C0untrymen.

With addresses by Cyriel Werner
en-, Belgian consul OF Chicago, Atty.
Ach.lle G. Colpaert and Mayor Ralph
Gaylcr. the Belgian residents OF the
city demonstrated their thorough
patriotism in a mass meeting Sat
urday evening at the K. Of P. hall
in which more than 1000 Partci-
pated.
An inspiring program was given
by the children of st. BavO's school
which consisted of a playlet, songs
and recitations. An unusual tab
leau added TO the enjoyment OF the
evening and illustrated the faith
with which Belgium waits on the
aid Of America in the world war.
Belgium, represented by small
girl in the Belgian national eolors,
appealed TO a small Uncle Sam and
ne gave her in thrilling terms. the
assurance of the love and assist
ance Of the American people.
Mrs. Martha Braekelaere rem
dered a Red Cross song, which was
followed by the welcoming address
by Atty. Colpaert. Mayor Gaylor
was introduced and responded with
a few appropriate remarks. DR..
Vermeren was the speaker OF the
evening. and his talk formed a
resume of the general condition of
Belgium at the present. and a call
TO the patriotism of his countrymen
for their adopted country.
He urged the purchase Of Liberty
loan bonds, and stated that the Bel
gian people in America must lend
their aid readily to this government
and do all in their power to respond
to its calls. Following the program
dancing was enjoyed. Belgian songs
were sold for the benefit of the
little children who took part in the
program.

Editor News-Times:
Sir-In answer 10 a letter Of
A. ". :. published by The News
Times Friday, concerning the mill
tary drill for Mishawaka girls. we
would like TO inform the public of
all the purposes of such military
drill We do not doubt that the
girls could spend their time to great
advantage in knitting for the sol
diers in making surgical dressings.
and to a very great extent Nlisha-
waka girls have taken part in this
excellent work.
However. is il entirely a waste OF
time for our girls 20 spend a small
portion OF time but once a week in
military drill? In many towns
throughout the United States such
companies have been organized; il
is but another phase of the Girl
Scout organizations. For the most
part the girls in the Mishawaka w.
A. C.. will derive a great deal of
benefit physically from the drills.
since many Of them work all day in
the office and get very little eXer-
else.
Besides this the girls interest in
Red Cross work has been dying
down. in spite of the fact that there
is even greater demand after the
routine Of steady office work or
school. there is not much change
in work for a girl TO go Immediately
into Red Cross rooms or knit a
sweater So in addition 10 exercise,
the military drill will prove of value
in arousing the interest OF our girls
10 war needs. II will put into them
the true spirit Of war and organiza-
ton for work, and il is interest and
organization that has been very
much lacking in war work for girls
IN Mishawaka.

WOMEN REGISTER
MOST WILLINGLY
Believed That Most of City'S
Potential War Workers
Will Sign Up.

Uppermost in the attitude Of the
women who have shown their loyal
" 10 the United States government
by regis tering. is a spirit OF cheer
fulness. of complete readiness and
gladness at the opportunity given.
More than 500 women have allied
themselves with the boys of the
country who are offering their lives
for freedom. during the two days
that the registration booths have
been open in the city.
1t is probable that most Of the
women of the city will have done so
when the time limit for registration
is up. The committee in charge
r ere asks that all who intend doing
80. TO register a. once and prevent
the necessity of keeping the booths
open an undue length of time.
Register Gladly.
While some slight misunderstand-
ing has resulted and a few women
have refused TO register because
they believed that it would result in
their being taken by force for serv-
ice. the percentage is inconsiderable.
Most of the women are easily led TO
see the necessity Of registration, If
they have not previously had the
matter explained to them. and will
ingly put down their names for some
form Of service.
II is not asked of the women that
they do more than they can conven-
iently. Many branches are open and
the opportunity great. so that even
the smallest service is deeply appre-
ciated. and no woman need feel that
she is not doing her share if she is
occupied at home in such a manner
that she is not free to enlist fully.
II is announced by the committee
that the polling place at the Belgian
American club will be open from
o'clock until $3.50 o'clock Monday
and Tuesday afternoons. other
changes will be announced later.
