assembly directed that it's laws he

dianapolis News.
In 1852 the legislature enacted a
statute that its laws passed mt that
session should be printed I'm German
and ono copy distributed to each of
the clerks OF the judicial circuits. BY
joint resolutions Of the senate and
house the session laws Of the special
session Of 1858, the regular session of
1899. the regular session of 1861, the
special session Of 1861. and the regu-
lar session Of 1867 were printed in
the German language. The revised
statutes Of 1858 were ordered printed
In German.
Mrs. Edward Franklin White of the
law editorial department OF the Bobbs-
Merrill company, believes the print

has been so exposed of late, hut she
rather believes that Indiana was max

30TH CAPTURED MORE
Than own CASUALS

That the southerners of the fa-
nous 30th made a better showing 6
against the enemy than the Germans
made against them is shown by the
fact that our boys" captured more
Germans than were both wounded
and killed by the enemy. When it
is estimated that the boys of the
30th probably killed several times
as many Germans as they captured
then will reasonable conjecture be
reached as to what the Old Hickory
boys did to Jerry and his comrades.
The following statistics, which are
taken from the Stars and Stripes,
the official newspaper of the A. E. F.
give some idea of what they did:
Prisoners captured: Ninety eight
officers. $3.50 men. Guns captured
Eighty-one pieces of artillery, 426
machine guns. Total advance OIL
front line. twenty-eight and one
half kilometres.
The operations in which the Old
! Hickory was engaged are also com
piled and made public. A. short his
tory of the 30th from the time thes
arrived in France till the armistic
was signed is given as follows:
