DON'T CASH STAMPS.

Merchants and others are again warned BY nc In
diana War Savings committee against cash War 9aN
ing Stamps These stamps are not FansieFFape
Where the BONA fde owner OF stamps has real need foF
his money he can get ID on ten days notice through the
nostoffce. but merchants and others who have been
cashing these stamps for patrons and then presenting
them for payment are going TO find themselves III a mole
some time unless the practice is stopped
War Savings Stamps are not like Liberty Bonds
Rcprehensible as the traffic in Liberty Bonds may be,
traffic in War Savings Stamps is worse. TIE money TO
cash them must come directly out Of the United States
treasury: the government gets no benefit from their
sale and has only the expense Of selling them for its
labors.
A recent case came up in South Bend where a mer
chant had nearly $1,000 worth Of War Savings Stamps
which he had cashed for patrons in payment Of bills q
goods and accounts. This merchant had been warned
before. Not long since when he presented over S1.loo
worth of stamps for payment. it was refused. There was
no question but the stamps had been soaked off OF other
certificates. Some had torn in the center when pulled
off the certificates. others showed cardboard sticking 10
the urdersides Of the stamps. All gave evidence Of hav-
ing been stuck on with mucilage.
The postmaster appealed to the Indiana War saw
ings committee. and a ruling from the Chicago Federal
Reserve bank was asked. In reply the Reserve bank
authorities said:
The question of any one individual holding more
than $1,000 worth Of War Savings stamps is a matter of
law and therefore anyone violating. its terms is undoubt
edly liable to prosecution.
THE matter Of stamps being non-transferrable Is 2
ruling or the secretary OF the treasury-not a part Of the
law itself However, there is no question but that the
postmaster should refuse to redeem stamps for any PEI
son other than the one whose name appears on the Ger,
tifcate C.): and where he has any reason to suspect
manipulation such as soaking stamps of Of one certih-
cate and pasting them on another. or altering the name
on the certificate, he would, in my opinion, be entirely
justified in refusing to redeem the stamps
In another communication to the Indiana War Say
inss committee. the Chicago Federal Reserve bank. aft
err comforting with a Washington official advised the In
diana committee that the postmaster would be entirely
within his rights in refusing to cash stamps for other
than the original purchaser"
1t is strongly urged that postmasters take this matter
up with the postmaster general and to withhold pay-
ment on the stamps in question until be can obtain such
ruling in all cases where he has good ground to suspect
that the person presenting the certificate is not the
original purchaser"
o. The law makes provision for cashing Of stamps
Of minors by their guardians, or by those charged with
executing an estate.

comes out of that very highly colored news center-Co

servatives in Germany to name an impartial committee

quest urges the Importance of making the scope Of such
investigation broad enough to cover all persons in any

While the attempt b. the Germans TO initiate sucl

THE UNION OF TWO CITIES.

The aldermen OF the city Of Hammond viii this
evening have an opportunity to put themselves on
record for amalgamation-that principle for which they
fought at the last election and which is so popular with
the people of Hammond that the present city administr2-
ton went into power by a large majority on that platform.
1t is entirely unnecessary 10 point out the great
desirability of having Hammond and East Chicago be
come one city. The great reason is economy and a less
sning Of the burden of taxation under which The people
Of both places are now grooming According TO figures
printed in these columns last Week Hammond and East
Chicago are the heaviest taxed cities today in the state
OF Indiana. Even though the councils OF the TWO cities
pass the union ordinance is no sign, however. that ANAL
ERmation will follow. The ordinance merely provides
for a special election. The taxpayers will decide the
matter. A referendum in April Will determine the ques-
tons at issue and the people BY their voice viii de

council meetings are to decide only as to the desira-
hIity Of submitting the very vital question TO a plebe

Of these two cities assume the responsibility OF choice

JUST WATCH BERLIN.

Reports as to revolutions and counterreyolujion in
Germany are multiplying 50 fast that it is difficult even
to keep track OF them, and it would be extremely haz
ardcus for anyone at this time to predict the final out
come. One OF the latest reports is to the effect that a
countrreyolutionaTy movement has been started at Pots
dam, Germany. which is less than a score Of miles south
west OF Berlin
Perhaps the most effective method of keeping track
OF events IN the former German empire is 10 watch pro
ceedings at its capitol and largest city. Recent dis
patches from Berlin indicate that riots, shooting ARRAYS
and other demonstrations are of frequent occurrence
there, and that meetings, both for and against the gov
srnment are common, due to the fact that various an
tagonisto factions are striving TO secure control of pub
Ito affairs. Among the various disturbing elements is
the socalled "Spartacus" group. which seems to be try
ing TO force a crisis. While the situation is extremely
dangerous, there is an element OF safety in the fact that
the troops IN and near Berlin seem to understand the
danger and are inclined ~ support the present govern.
