To the Editor of The Star:
Thank you very much for reprint
ing the stanza of Sergt-i Fleming to
his horse Nell. shot by the enemy,
dead on the battlefield of Flanders.
The horses of Washington have had
a real Christmas dinner. thanks to
the efforts of the Animal Rescue
League, of which I am. privileged to
be a member, but what about the poor
dogs of Washington, the forlorn,
waiting the day to be "gassed OUT?
Their kind, as well as Nell's. did not
make war. hut helped largely to end it.
Why not give a Christmas dinner to
them in memory of their brothers
whose obedience to orders, bravery
under fire, was not excelled by the
soldiers themselves, the dogs of the
Red Cross, who lie tonight in un-
marked graves in the fields of Flan-

in letter received by Chairman
wadsworth of the Senate military

American officers in the mounted mil

SERGT. YORK BELIEVES
IN MILITARY TRAINING
Thinks Discipline Will Instill Pa
triotism and Americanize Youth
of the Country.

Sergt. Alvin C. York. the Tennessee
mountaineer. who captured or put out
of business an entire. German machine
gun battalion in the Argonne, October
S, 1918, believes in universal military
training.
Sergt. York is an elder Of the Church
of Christ at Pail Mall, Fentress coun-
ty. Tenn. One of the tenets of his
church is disapproval of war But the
man who, according to Marshal Foch.
did the greatest thing accomplished by
any individual soldier in the war,
makes this statement in support of his
ardent belief in universal military
training, according to the Universal
Military Training League:
I'm my experience at Camp Gordon
cantonment and in the overseas serv-
ice am conyinced that universal
training and discipline would greatly
improve the health of the young men
of the country. 1t would make them
stronger and better men, with a higher
respect for law and order: instill pa
triotism and Americanize the youth of
the land. This is exceedingly impor-
tant. / hope such training will be
adopted by our country"

BARGAIN
DAY IS SUCCESS
Merchants Delighted With
Volume Of Business Done
at Initial Sale.

Mishawaka's first combined Bar
gain day Wednesday was a sue
cess even beyond the expectations
of the most optimistic. Those mer-
chants who advertised for the event
were enthusiastic over the response
of the city and rural population
From the opening of their doors at
s o'clock until noon there was a con-
tinual rush to their stores. In fact
II was necessary at times to close
the doors of some of the establish
ments so great was the crowd. Sam
Gilbert, of NJ. Gilbert & Son, said
TO The News Times: This is the
greatest thing for Mishawaka that
ever happened. / expected it would
take a few weeks before Bargain
day would prove itself, but so far as
we are concerned, it has been an in
sts,utaneoI,s success. 1 found it ne
ceSSary during the morning hours to
employ additional help although
had already provided for the oc-
casion. What pleased me most was
the number of people from the coun-
try districts that visited us and made
purchases during the morning. This
event Is here TO stay"
Miss r. f. Cohen. manager of
the Golden Rule store, y. Main St,
told The News-Times she was really
surprised at the hearty response
made by the public to the first Bar
gain day. event She had thought
it not wise to expect great things
for the first event, but the rush of
buyers to the Golden Rule during
the forenoon dispelled any such no
ton. Miss Cohen is enthusiastic
over the project. and so far as the
Golden Rule is concerned, the day
will be observed weekly
The MishaWaka Furniture, G. L.
Barnard & Son, hardware; Van RE,
Eberhardts all reported as being
more than satisfied with results so
far, and will continue to observe the
event every "Wednesday.
a pleasing feature of the day was
the large number of buyers from
and that they were satisfied with the
bargains they were able TO obtain,
speaks well for those who We're the
first to lend their names to the pro
ject.
1t is expected that 1t will be only
the matter of very short time be-
fore every merchant in the city will
be enthusiastically ir favor Of the
general observance Of the day.

CITY OFFICIALS
SUED FOR $4,000
Fred GroeSbeck Files Serious
Charges Against Mayor
and Police Chief.

A suit for $4,000 damages for
malicious prosecution was filed in
the superior court Wednesday morn
ing by Fred ]. Groesbeck against
Chief of Police Valentine ]. Pfender.
ex-patrolman Charles Boron and
Mayor Ralph W. Gaylor. The COM
plant recites that on Dec last,
Boron arrested GroesDeck at the
command of the chief and the
mayor. without a warrant, and that
he was thrown into the city Jail for
a period OF Is hours. and denied bail
or the right TO see his friends al
though he had a large sum of money
on his person with which he would
have been able TO give bail, while
his friends stood ready TO offer much
more If necessary.
IL is alleged by Groesback that the
jail was in a filthy condition, and
that he was locked in the hobo cell
and denied food and even water to
drink for many hours. The charge
is also made that he was held in
exorbitant bail. A remarkable fea-
ture of the proceeding, as alleged
in the complaint, is that the mayor
fixed the amount Of the bail insist
ing that it be $1,000, which later
was reduced by Judge Funk TO $500
Groesbeck further alleges that he
was held in extra ordinary bail for
more than two days without a
charge being filed against him, al
oh,
tOrney was in the city, and the city
Judge. and at least one justice Of the
peace, was in their Offices during all
Of that time. Also, that when the
case was called for trial in the city
court, the mayor and police refused
to go ahead in that cham Der, the
mayor causing the case to be trans
ferred 10 South Bend
At the trial in the superior court
before Special Judge Iden S. Romig,
last month. Groesbeck was acquitted
of the alleged crime for which the
defendants in the present suit sought
to punish him, and for which, it is
charged, they resorted to unlawful
methods alleged by Groesbeck to
have been committed against him.
The case has a further feature of
interest in that Groesbeck claims he
was arrested by the patrOlman, re-
Gently released from the police de-
partment. on account of Groesbeck
criticising the officers methods as a
policeman. But, the plaintiff also
lays his troubles TO what his coun-
sci states was "a malicious interest"
by the mayor and his chief in prose-
cutting Groesbeck. and a fragrant
