Is Mr.. Lee Fired9
HSo Who Fired
Him and When9

Whether Lorenzo d. Lee was fired.
resigned or is still a member OF the
South Bend police department is
still one of the unsolyed riddles at
the city hall
Some claim he was fired, others
maintain that he resigned. and there
are still others who contend that
10 IS neither OF these. and that Mr.
Lee quit his job.
As for Mr. Lee himself ne has
made no statement for publication
that Will clear the situation in the
minds of police authorities as 70
just what his status is in regard TO
the South Bend police department
So complicated has become the
situation, and 50 muddled are said
20 have become the minds of city
officials in regard 10 the situation
as regards Patrolman Lee that a
special meeting OF the board Of
public safety was held late Satur-
day morning in an effort 10 obtain
some light on the case.
Several witnesses are said 70 have
been questioned in regard to alleged
remarks OF Mr.. Lee about resigning
or not resigning or being fired. or
something like that. The members
OF the board are said TO be very anx-
ious 10 ind out just how 10 deal
with Patrolman Lee or eX-Patrol-
man Lee, however the case happens
10 be.
In the meantime there is said TO
be much anxiety in certain quarters
at the city hall in regard to what
Patrolman or eX-Patrolman Lee
may have TO say when his hearing
before the safety board. which was
postponed Friday night, is held. II
is said that Lee knows more than
some persons wish he did. and il is
said that there is great fear of a
bomb explosion that will shake
some Of the complacency OF certain
city officials
At any rate there is said 10 be
great activity i'm police official cir
Giles to find out for sure just where
PatrOlmau Lee or Patrolman
Lee is. Not where he is geographic
ally. but positionally. That is.
whether ne is still on the police de-
partment payroll, or whether he is
not And if he is not on the pay
roll how did he get off of il? Was
it through "A resignation Of his own
or was IL by virtue Of being fired {?
And if he was fired who fired him d?
Was IL Chief Of Police Kline or was
il Asst. Chief of Police Cassidy?
And if it was not either OF these two
officials. was 1t the safety board?
Chief Kline apparently does not
know whether he fired NIr. Lee or
not He H. said 10 have asked Mayor
Carson. but the mayor is said 10 be
as much i'm the dark as anyone else
at the city hall.
Up to Friday night il was sup
posed that Asst Chief Cassidy had
done the firing. but when the safety
board met on that night. the board
did not feel disposed, it is said. TO
take this view of it. The safety
board apparently did not fire Mr..
Lee. for if it had the members
would surely know IT,
So there is the unsolved riddle.
Il seems 10 be a triangle riddle. and
any kind of "a mystery with more
than one angle is said 10 have baf-
fled the South Bend police force
more than once.

KING OF ENGLAND
PRAISES RED CROSS
DECLARES 1T is ONE OF THE
MOST MARVELLOUS OF THE
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE
AMERICANS.

That the American Red Cross is
the greatest existing boon to human.
ity and one of the most marvellous of
all American achievements is the
opinion of King, George V of England,
as expressed in an interview with
Henry p. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross war council, who is now in
England
The appropriation of $1000,000
which was made last October by the
Red Cross for work in England, he
went on to say, aroused the enthus-
iasm of the whole nation, coming at
it did, not from the government, but
as a gift from the American people.
He also declared that one OF the most
anna zing things of the war was the
fact that the American Red Cross
had raised $100,000,000 in one week,
when the British Red Cross had sue
ceeded in raising only $50,000,00
during the entire period of the war.
The king, according to Mr. Davi-
sons report, possesses an intimate
knowledge of American affairs and
conditions, and made the statement
that it is the wish of every man in
England that through the close as
scciation of American and England
in this war the two nations and two
peoples would get to know each other
better and, as a, result of common
sacrifice, to realize more than ever
their need of one another and the
benefits to civilization which must
arise from perfect understanding
among all the great Anglo-SaXon
peoples of the world.

Asking for a Miracle

"Si jeunnesse saVa1t.
 Si vieillesse pouvait.'
 How much one knows when one is very young!
 And how much of that much one gradually finds one did not know quito so well as one grows older!
 I think there is never a year passes in ones adult life that it does not open ones eyes to things one was blind to in youth
 One. grows up, one undergoes the discipline of hard work, one marries, culties of dealing tactfully with a fus- band or wife one has homo of ones own, children enter ones Efe-and each new experience opens ones eyes to certain facts and complexities that one was cocksurely blind to in ones youth.
 To take a very simple example:
 Now I. Too, Have Known.
 Over and over again, as I walk about my house picking up and put ting away the articles that some mem Der of the household has left out of place, it seems to me as if 1 could actually hear my mothers voice across the years.
 eff you children only WOULD be more orderly" she is saying plain lively You don't know how much work it makes for you to be so care less If you'd only learn to put things back where they belong, it would help me more than anything you could do."
 A Way Mothers Have of Talking.
 And then l (the girlhood D, who had perhaps just done the dishes or helped in some other positive way, would think,
 That's just way mothers have Sot talking. She does not realize how much the things I really do help
 But today when that voice comes back to me l am filled with a great shame. For today I KNOW. I have been there myself, and I realize that even positive help cannot counterbal- ance the confusion and distraction that disorderIy habits make. And l feel sometimes as If I simply must get back into the past and mako up for my selfish cafelessness. Longing to Get Back Into the Past. It is not a happy feeling, this help less passion of longing to get back and undO some oI Illt ESel'AH'Aiioo" o.'i" indifference some of the harsh judg- ments ones youthful cocksureness made one guilty of.
 If I could persuade even one young person that there might be many things on which he would change his mind as he grew older-that it would be worth his while to take certain of his parents viewpoints for granted and to be patient with some of their extra ordinary ideas-how happy l should be. And how much happiness should ultimately give that young person!
 But perhaps I ask a miracle.

BRIDE WAS MISSING,
 COULDN'T BE FOUND

Everything was arranged for the wedding. The guests had been in- vited and the bride-to-be was all dressed in her wonderful tinery, ready to go to the man she did not love, be- cause her uncle wished it. Suddenly the thought that some day she might find the one and only' man flashed across her mind staggering her with it's stern reality. Could she sacrifice herself upon the altar of any man $ desires for mere earthly riches? Would she, in the course of time, learn to love this man who was sev- eral times her age? Should she go on with the bitter sham and make her. self a slave to this mans desires?
 Voices in the hall. They were com ing for her! There was still time to escape from the house and leave all this shallow mockery far behind. What should she do?

LEE KIDDIES TO-DAY
 AT FOX THEATER

Jane and Katherine Lee, the Fox Baby Grands, are the attraction at FOA'S theater today in an uprOarious comedy entitled, We Should Worry
 A drama. of unusual force and con- victions has been interwoven with the humor for which the Fox Baby Grands are world famous in fashion to give entertainment to every mem Der of the family. These prodigious youngsters baffle burglars, confuse kidnappers, foil fortune hunters and marry their wealthy young aunt to the man of their choice in five reels of splendid photoplay. The Lee Kids have a splendid director in Keenan Buell., who never deceives himself by attempting to put these youngsters through a scene which requires the worldly knowledge which only a groWn-up could express.
 He keeps them in the nursery; in surroundings with which they are ac- quainted. Every caper they cut in this picture spells "We Should Worry" When the camera catches them in the lonely cellar it catches them in a hap py mood, for they have the time of their lives. When it catches them in their Sunday best it catches them still happy, but a trife disturbed, be- cause their faces are cleaned and their dresses tidy. But always they are just kids" having a good time and bringing sunshine to the hearts of those who watch them.
 ''The Woman in the Web still con- tinues to attract with it's turing spell of the Orient, and Mutt and Jeff, with Alice Howell and other comedies com- plete a capital bill.
 The attraction at FoX's tomorrow night is Come Through a splendid Jewell production, full of action and suspense with Herbert Rawlinson in the lead. There will be numerous other short and entertaining reels. The management wishes to announce that commencing Monday, Miss Jean nette Dufois, formerly concert organ ist at the Academy of Music, New York City. will preside at the magni- ficent organ at FoXs and render con- certs twice daily. This will be appre- ciated by all lovers of organ music who know that an overture of popular selections properly rendered on the organ cannot be duplicated elsewhere.

came into his eyes. "so you like him, too?"
 Love him. l returned promptly. But I don't want to talk about him now. I'm too anxious to hear the story you promised to tell me-
 Nay, fair lady; I'm afraid you are mistaken. 1 promised you nothing, if I remember correctly he answered. When the nurse and the interne came in so opportunely you had just proposed as a bargain that we tell each other all. '
 There was a note of gayety in his voice at which I wondered for a mo- ment, for there had always been something grim, almost saturnine, about him. Then l realized the truth that his gayety was altogether forced, that in his chivalrOuS consid eration for me he wished to atone for the discomfort he had caused me by his questions concerning my marital happiness, and was assuming a lightness of demeanor he was far far from feeling in order to put me at my ease.
 There was but one thing for me 70 do and that was to carry on my share of the conversa tion in the same vein
 "Of course, 1 can't dispute the word of an officer and a gentleman, l retorted, and was surprised to see a quick spasm of pain distort his feat ures at my words. It was gone the next instant, and his face and eyes were calm and inscrutable as ever, but I had distinctly seen the paroxysm, and I wondered greatly at it. Was it possible that some tragedy lay behind the mystery of his identity?
 I knew that he hadn't yet revealed his name to the hospital authorities. and the officer to whom he had turned over the prisoner Ernest had not Vis- ited the hospital since the wounded i man had been able to talk.
 I brought myself back to the topic 1 in hand with an effort. A. The officers l history I reminded myself, was no ! affair of mine. That he hadn't yet l answered my last observation was ! something for me to cover quickly If i, I could manage to do so unobtru- l sively.
