Tell Him You're Glad He Is
Not a Rough Rude Fellow
like Pal Who Enlisted.

Sergeant William S. WEIGH talked
about recruiting a Liberty Hall last
evening to $50 parents and sisters Of
soldiers and sailors. 1t was the larg-
est attending meeting OF the Soldiers
and sailors Aid association since that
society was organized by J. T. Hutton.
The sergeant told the mothers, faith
ers and sisters Of the boys in service
that it is time they begin TO treat slack
ers and the parents Of slackers with
the disdain due them. He advised that
a Young man with no legitimate excuse
sor not enlisting or claiming exception
and the parents who hold their sons back
from service be made to feel the weight
OF public sentiment.
According to the sergeant. this is how
the girls should treat the Stacker:

Urge him TO join the knitting classes

Lake County to Double It's
Quota, But the Stacker Is

Officials.

Lake county is going to nearly double
or perhaps actually double its third
Liberty Loan quota according to County
Chairman Hay.
With s4.2755oo already reported and
subscriptions yet to come in from the
big steel companies OF Gary and their
several thousand employees the chances
are that Lake county will make the
splendid record Of having doubled its
quota.
The outlook is that Gary alone will
equal the total quota asked Of the coun-
ty. Chairman Hay looks for Gary. now

NEW YORK, April 19.-Blocked
in the center of his Flanders drive,
Won Hindenburg continues TO fail
away at the northern and southern
banks of his wedge.
The only result Of this pressure
is an ever growing enemy casualty
list. It is shown by Haig's official

that the German assaults are being
beaten back everywhere and that
many of them are being broken UP
by artillery fire before they can
get under way.
The French are assuming a more
dominant part in the western front

appeared in great force on the Flanders
battle held but they are taking the initi-
ative before Amiens.
French artillery pounded tho German
positions in Ptcardy on q front of more
than fifty miles in one Of the heaviest
bombardments eve= laid down By the
allies. Unable to determine from what
quarter the assaults would come vle
Germans were caught when the French
suddenly swept forward on a front of
four miles along the Avre. The French

The Berlin official statement that the
