Deliveries May
Be Cut Down to
Only One a Dey

Reports Of the progress that has
been made by the various mer-
chants throughout the state in re
gard TO the system of economy that
was outlined by the members of the
merchants economy committee of
Indiana at their organization meet
ing last August, will be given Mon
day at the state house in Indian
aPolis when the merchants com
mlttee viii hold its second meeting.
h W. Eldridge of the Wyman
store in this city Will be the rep
resentative of the northern Indiana
district, having charge of the work
IN the 10 counties in this part OF
the state. The purpose Of the meet
ing will be TO consider the progress
that has already been made and
outline further plans
Mr.. Eldridge stated that al the
organization meeting the commit
tee adopted regulations whereby de-
liveries in the stores would be re-
duced to two each day and he was
OF the opinion that at the meeting
Monday the committee would de-
eide to reduce deliveries to one a
day. thereby releasing a number of
men for war and other purposes.
Merchants in this section of the
state are working tremendously
with the rules laid down by the
committee and Mr.. Eldridge said
that he would have nothing but
good reports to make from his ter
ritory. Besides the merchants tax
ing hold the customers are &C
customing themselves to the needs
of the government and doing their
utmost to eliminate waste.
Previous to the organization of
the economy committee the major
ity of the merchants in Indiana
were making four and five deliveries
a day, but as soon as the new orders
were given the merchants cut their
deliveries in half and they feel con
fident that if the committee decides
to reduce their deliveries to one
day they will be able TO successful
~ adopt the new regulations.
It not only saves gasoline, tires
and men but it helps conservation
all along the line stated Mr.. Ed

TO ORGANIZE CLUB
FOR "WAR WIVES"
News-Times Special Service:

ews-Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19-Wom-
en- who have a particularly close as
ISOLATION with the war because of
near relatives being in service, will
constitute a War Wives club, which
will be organized for state wide &C
tivity, under the direction of Mrs.
Anne Studebaker Carlisle, head of
the women's section of the Indiana
state council of defense. Mrs. Car
Isle has been asked by the wom-
ems committee of the council of ma
tional defense to make this club a
part of her organization and she
will do so at once.
Include Entire State.
1t is expected every community
in the state,-even the most re-
mote-will be included in this new
organization for the reason that
every quarter of the state contains
many women who feel this close
personal touch with the fighting
force In reference to the plan
Mrs. Carlisle states that she believes
such local organizations will serve
TO crystalize the spirit OF sacrifice
among the women at home the
same as the war has served 70 de-
velop among the men now in active
service. A natural bond of sym
pathy and interest will. il is hoped,
make the War Wives club an in
strumentality for the greatest CO.
operation in matters pertaining to
the home defense program.
In France these organizations
have served a double purpOse,-of
service and mutual comfort,-and
il is believed by Mrs. Carlisle the
opportunity for an equally effective
organization is here in Indiana

DisioyaHy
Here is the Answer to Many
Questions Asked at
indianapolis.
News Times Special Service:

News Times Special Service
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 19.-The
question What constitutes disloyaI-
typ" and What can we do with the
fellow who is disloyal?" are being
asked many times daily of the In
diana state council of defense.
Measures for the further definition
of disloyalty and adequate punish
ments therefore are now pending in
congress and are expected by the
state council to be enacted into law
very shortly.
Active spying of course, when
discovered. is punishable under the
United States military code with
death. In addition, the state council
of defense is authorized to present
the following interpretations from
an authoritative source:
BY an act of congress Of Feb.
Il, 1917, it is declared that: Sec
tional of the espionage act provides
a penalty of $4,000 fine with i'm
prisonment of not more than two
years for obtaining information
such as sketches, notes or photo
graphs of anything connected with
the national defense and intended
for injury of the United States.
Section of the espionage act pro-
v.ded a $4,000 fine and imprisOn-
ment up TO 20 years for;
(a) Wilfully making or convey
ing false reports with intent to in
terfere with the military or naval
operations Of the United States.
COZ Wilfully causing or attempt
ing 10 cause INSTRUMENTATION, dis
loyalty. mutiny or refusal of duty
in the military or naval forces of
the United States.
Co WilfuIly ob5tructing the re-
cruiting or enlistment service of the
United states.
Cases are Pending.
With respect TO paragraph A
there are few or no judicially de-
termined cases. but there are many
pending. For example, a warrant
has been issued under this clause
in the case of a man who said. The
president is a traitor" The authori-
ties believe this TO constitute a false
report or statement, wilfully made
with the intent TO interfere with the
operations or success of the military
or naval forces, or to promote the
success Of our enemies.
with respect 10 paragraph 2.
there has been one conviction in
the case of a MAJ who said at a
public meeting: This is rich
mans war a poor man has no bust
ness in il. a man who is drafted
doesn't have TO go into the army
and he's a fool if he does
This man was indicted on two
counts, the first that his statement
was a wilful attempt 20 cause in
81 bordination and second a wilful
attempt 10 cause refusal OF duty; on
both OF which he was convicted.
The fact that his utterances were
made in the presence Of men sub
ject to the draft was considered i'm
pOrtant
With respect TO paragraph c il Is
aimed at all those who wil1ully OBJ
struct the recruiting or enlistment
service 70 the injury OF the service
or OF the United States.
Treason. as defined by the con
stitutiOn Of the United States shall
consist only in levying war against

herring 10 their enemies. giving them
aid ard comfort"

mere intent and utterance is neces-
sary to complete the crime of trea-
son. 1t is because this restricted def
milton of treason did not reach will
full utterances of a reasonable ma
ture, that the new criminal legisla-
ton above referred to was made
