I: ST how highly regarded is Dr. August F. Knoefel by members of the Indiana Bituminous Coal

Operators' association is indi

cated in the number of committees he hajs been appointed to serve on during the second annual first aid and mine rescue contest to be held in Terre Haute next Saturday.

The meeting is under the auspices of the Indiana operators and Dr. Knoefel is recognized as one of the finest little first aiders and rescuers as shown in the fact that he is on the executive committee, the events and rules committee, the entertainment committee and the committee in judging rescue contests.

Dr. Knoefel is the first vice-president of the American Miners' Aid association and his headquarters have been in Terre Haute since last October. Those who have met the good doctor hope he will continue to make his headquarters here for many years to come.

How He Qualifies.

A fellow doesn't jump into an ececutive office in so imr,ortant a humanitarian organization as the A. M. A. A. without qualifying.

And Dr. Knoefel qualified in the school of experience after annexing a few medals in school.

The doctor is a Hoosier, a native of New Albany, 34 years ago. He was educated in that city and after graduating from high school attended & school of pharmacy and medicine In Louisville. For a year he was interne at St. Edward's hospital, in Louisville. After getting his diploma as a surgeon, in 1903, Dr. Knoefel moved to Linton, Ind., where for nine years he was surgeon for the Vandalia Coal company.

Dr. Knoefel started the movement which resulted in the establishment of a first aid headquarters in the west, Terre Haute being the first station started west of Pennsylvania.

The object of the American Miners' Safety association, of which Dr. Knoefal is one of the "kitchen cabinet," is to devise methods of preventing accidents in mines, coal and metal, nnd of rendering first aid in cases of accidents and doing rescue work following explosions.

To promote interest in the work, state and national contests are held from time to time.

Medals for Heroes.

Medals for heroism in connection with rescue work are awarded. Once a year the United States bureau of

ing on the box for the ambassador the messenger from the German embassy came out of the executive offices. "Ah-ha," cried the HibernianFrenchman "ye think ye've got us on the run, Dutchy, but it's ye that'll be after running before we finish with' j*e." "Ach," exclaimed the German, ruffled to his tail feather, "that's what you think, don't it?. Ve'll show you."

The timely appearance of Juesserand prevented a bloody encounter. Of course society will be dead as the proverbial door nail here this winter. The death of Mrs. Wilson closed the white house, the war will put an end to the brilliant diplomatic} dinners and receptions. It would be a daring diplomat who would attempt to entertain. This will be very hard on the Mrs. Marshall Fields and others who live in Washington solely to the end that they may bask in the reflected grandeur of the great. The French ambassador could not accept an invitation to dinner lest he meet the German or Austrian ambassadors. Then if it should be arranged that at one dinner the German and Austrian ambassadors should be invited, and at another dinner the diplomats from France, England, Belgium and Russia, and it should develop that the wine at one dinner was better than at another—oh Lor' more international complications. Things social will be quiet and we shall settle down to the pleasant evening with the paper regaling ourselves until bed time in the reading of the bloody tales of slaughter.

Who's Who and Why Among Terre Haute's Newer Citizens

He Who Laughs Last.

Apropos of this old story about a strong policy In Mexico comes a strong editorial from the London News !nspirted by the dreadful catastrophe in Europe in which the charge is made that the peoples of the various countries now at war have been kept in the dark by so-called European diplomacy, and insisting that hereafter the people must be consulted. And in this connection the London News declares that it will be well for Europe to learn a lesson in real diplomacy and humanity from the attitude of the Wilson administration In the United States during the Mexican crisis. Now it just so happens that Bryan's Mexican policy made us "the laughing stock of Europe." The fact was detailed to us by Roosevelt. It was shouted at us by Beveridge. It was divulged by Penrose. And any one following the European press during the period of the crisis will recall that Europe was quite cqmplacent In its self-assumed superiority.

The McLean papers and the Hearst papers devoted columns to quoting some sneer from the Berlin Bluffer, the Paris Boaster, the London Chesty and the Vienna Know-It-All. It is to be hoped from the democratic point of view that Mr. Beveridge will now reinforce his own strong denunciation of the peace policy pursued toward Mexico by the Wilson administration by copious quotations from these European papers. Of course, the London News retraction only means that the London News has cold feet.

But Roosevelt, Penrose and Beveridge get cold feet—never. By all means let's have the Mexican policy one of the issues in the coming campaign.

Meanwhile as the campaign lags the democratic congress is staving on trie job protecting American interest at every corner to the end that the evils of the European war may be minimized on this continent. The wisdom that has been manifested by the party in power in this unprecedented crisis has

mines and the American Mines' Safety association unite in offering prizes for a series of aid and rescue contests.

The contests here will take place at Central league baseball park. The work will be practical. A miniature mine will be wrecked and two explosions will take place in a steel chamber 104 feet long. Then the surgeons present will show in a practical way just how they would act if the wreck and the explosions were real, sure enough horrors. It will be like staging an object lesson for the movies.

to an attempt to capture the markets of South and Central America. This ought to be easily done. The Bryan policy toward the Latin republics has regained their friendship, the acceptance of Latin meditation In the Mexican matter has won their confidence, and we are in position to go in now and take the markets to the south. This will be gall and wormwoou to England as well as Germany. It Was beeh even intimated that England got Japan into the war for the purpose of frightening us away from the markets of the orient. Possibly so. Old England is quite capable of that. Her love for the United States is just as deep as the scars she burned on the capitol a hundred years ago. That she has actually shown resentment Is quite clear from the editorial In the London Chronicle warning England against an unfriendly attitude toward us. This warning seems strangle In view of the fact that we have heard nothing about unfriendly actions or speech. It must mean that some of the dear London papers have been sneering as usual at us and that the censor prevented tnese insults fronn reaching tip. At any .-ate we are not called upon to tear our shirts for England—any more than Germany. None of the countries involved are especially fond of us. They all sneered at Wilson because of the Mexican policy which was as successful as their diplomacy has been disastrous. Thus we have every reason for being neutral—absolutely no reason for being otherwise, it will be impossible to prevent individuals from expressing their half baked views, but not one word violative of neutrality, even in spirit, will escape any responsible member of the government.

In his younger days, when at school, Dr. Knoefel was somewhat of a football player, but his present hobbles are surgery and mine rescue work. He doesn't shoot craps, play pool, poker or rhum. He would rather discuss problems in surgery than the possibility of the Terre-irs finishing in the money or the Boston Braves beating out the Giants. Dr. Knoefel is a great "Jiner." He belongs to the Elks, the Masons and the Knights of Pythias, and is a Woodman. He is married and has one child.

already commanded the deep admiration of the American people, and especially of the American business man. The work of protection has gone forward speedily, carefully, wisely, and the patriotic business men of the country have shown more of disinterested Americanism than at any other time in a generation.

That the administration and the congressional leaders mean business is shown by the action in the house in docking all absent members. The effect of this action was amusing. The members came flocking back from the four corners, flustered, red faced, Indignant, outraged, and on appearing at the doors of the houser some of them had to be introduced to the doorkeepers before they could get in. Congressman Mann of Illinois, the republican floor leader, was especially indignant. He thinks the personal campaigns of members more important than the salvation of the country.

Work or Don't Eat.

While the republicans have suomerged their partisanship to a large degree during the present crisis tney have been unable to wholly forget their party, and the result has been a disposition to remain in Washington if necessary but to refrain from voting. This, of course, would save the member his salary because he would answer present on the initial roll call. At the same time it would prevent legislation If he sneaked into the cloak rooms or lobbies when a quorum was required. The whole plan was so transparent In its trickery that Champ Clark decided that heroic methods would be justified—and he counted these gentlemen for a quorum. Mr. Mann was greatly outraged. Every hair of his whiskers stood out like frills upon a fretful porcupine. When Clark smilingly pointed to Tom Reed as a precedent Mr. Mann freely admitted that Tom Reed was a czar. Thus the amusing situation ot repuoncans denouncing while democrats defended the policy of Tom Reed. The only difference in the situation in Reed's clay and today is that In Reed's day only a party advantage was to be gained by counting members for a quorum while now It is to the district advantage of the country. At any rate members will be oounted. The people will not be defrauded. Members will earn'their salt or their rations will be cut. The old days of snap are gone. These are the days of up-and-at-'em.
