TWO LEADERS.

"'•'¥he frfbu ne^ cannot reconcile ItsBTt to Mr. Roosevelt's war activities. In his Indianapolis speech last night, his thief premise was that our war career has been one series of blunders and he argued that those responsible for these blunders ought to be turned out. Even if this were so and even if we have displayed glaring weaknesses, can the best results be obtained by advertising our deficiencies to ihe enemyf

Just off hand some of the chief themes of his contentions do not hold in the minds of fair minded men. As to our lack of arms, the ordnance bureau reported a few days ago that w» now have two/ million more Enfield and modified Springfield rifles, the latest type being used, than we have soldiers enlisted to use them. The war program at the outset contemplated getting an army of 500,000 men in France this y^aJr. Tuesday the war department officially reported that we have sent 700,000 men over with a tai less of lives of 351, and these were on merchant ships and returning transports being used in, connection with this tremendous .achievement.

Surgeo| General Gorgas told the American Medical association in Chii.ugo yesterday that our camps are nearly free from typhoid and such other army camp maladies as have depleted the ranks Of our soldiers in other wars. Tiie army draft in one year's time Recruited two million men in so fair and equitable manner as to disarm every critic and to convince the whole nation that this is every man's war. The three Liberty Loans have been equitably absorbed and have made a financial achievement never paralleled in the world's history. Jhe airship program is the one admitted collapse in the war program and unbiased men have attributed this, not to dishonesty and inefficiency, but to the seal of those in" charge seeking a triumphant achievement. Their aealousness has led tliem to costly experiments and disastrous delays. At least Jtfcat la the lay opinion today. ..^Y

Mr. Roosevelt directs this gas bomb atv President vWilson^ i'"WO should stand against every pttblid servant precisely to the degree that he fails to develop and use the war strength of the country." ju/ Of course, it is Impossible to answer "this logic. The speaker meant it to be •o. One year ago from April 12th, last, this nation was on a peace basis. We knew nothing of a national army, nor of national war preparations. We were a peace people in everything that the hrase implies. The colonel's assertion means to each maju 4uettwhat his of mind desires.', i Tribune holds that th# first preparations for war constitute "of

BONUSES FOR TEACHERS.

Following the salary increase grafted to Terre Haute teachers, several Indiana cities have acted on the «ame impulse and there has been a ^Very general recognition of the services of the men and women of this profession.

A committee of the St. Liouis bOard of education has recommended a plan for raising public school teachers' salaries by means of a bonus system. The lowest paid teachers would receive $100 each in addition to their regular salaries, ,Whye the better^ jpaid .ones would receive sums rartglhg down to $50. The plan would apply only to the next school year, and would be dropped or continued as conditions'might warrant 12 months hence.

No one imagines that $100 would cover the difference in the cost of living for .a single person in St Louis or even T6tre Haute, let alone a family, as compared with a year ago, and the tendency still is upward. In lieu of anything better, however, we presume the teachers will be glad to receive the bonus. They are but one division of a great army., ot salaried people who are struggling to oppose a bold front to tlje Ji. c. 1, while trying to do their duty as Americans. The forced economies that have enabled them to do this, without loss of self-respect or plea of sympathy, will make an interesting chapter of domestic heroism when the full history of the war is told.

A ROBU8T HOPE.

The new spokesman for the reichstag says thte allies' last hope is the United Stated All the United States has to offer i» a population one-third greater than thai of Germany and wealth and resources three times greater. Pretty good for a

hope!"

CHARLOTTE J0N|S. i* "n A

An Associated Press dispatch to the Tribune from San Fratici$co says that Attorney Charlotte Jones proposes statute making it a crime for any man to smoke in any public place, store, bank, jitney bus, office or elevator. She gives as her reason that smoking is the "cause of men be.ingt chicken hearted, effete weaklings and spineless jelly-fish." Further she suggests that the adoption of the ordinance would help conserve the supply of tobacco so that more could be sent to the boys in France.

Adolptros Jt. fvorydotn# clips this dispatch and sends it to us with indignant protest—which w® second. Does Miss Attorney Jones want our soldiers in France to become chicjtenhearted, spineless jellyfish? We thought attorneys were supposed to be logical maybe female attorneys are privileged to break the rules.-

THE BJRTH OF TERRE HAUTE.

Mr. Markle reminds, us that one hundred and two years ago today the first white settlers reacHed Terre Haute. They came from the neighborhood of Olean, New York, and descended the Allegheny river, the Ohio river and poled their way up the Wabash past Vincennes to tha present site of this beautiful and enterprising city. What reflections the anniversary recalls. Their flat boats did not have to be registered as common carriers, nor were the passengers pained in the femur from hanging onto a strap. They progressed from the site on which the water works stands to the higher bluffs towards what now is the broad and attractive thoroughfare known as First street. They were able to do this without foregoing the jeopardy and vag&ries of the jitney, and too, there is no record that they violated the speed law. They fared on carefree of overhead wires, shell holes in pavements and encountered no where life insurance of book agents. Neither were their peHgrinations hampered by tariff schedules, roa4 ta^c, nor the Mann act.

Such pests as the cost of gasoline, paliB beach suits and appendicitis they were blithely free of and food conservation was known to them only through the size -of the pan in whish to cook a corn pone. Such complications as school board fights, pl^aslih abatement and the JU W. W. concerned them not a jot, and the only alien enemy which stirred their apprehensioYi ^85

TUN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE

Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Pho«»hate to Fnt on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength. Vigor and Serve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making -thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness.

Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foodsk Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.

This increase in weight sJso carries with it a general Improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear," dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

CAUTION:—Although bitro-phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.—Advertisement.

13,1918.

I wrote you a postal from Williamsburg yesterday. General Pershing requested that every man in the army write home on Mother's day. I wanted to write a letter, but the hotel in Williamsburg didn't look as If it had any stationery in 105 years. I saw some old buildings yesterday. One house in Yorktown was built in 1699. It still looked in good condition. There was an old colonial mansion there with a yard that took up a whole block. It makes a magnificent residence today from the outside at least. I heard that it was the Nelson house where Washington and Cornwallis signed the surrender. Saw Cornwallis cave, but it Is not much Just a room dug in the side of a sandstone bank by the bay with a wooden door in front. It looks more like an old potato cellar than anything el9©. They charge ten cents to go in it.

There were some of the oldest apple trees in Yorktown I have ever seen. They were so knotty and gnarled that they were grotesque. It is just a little bit of a,town of not more than thirty housest The train stops at Lee Hall and autos run to Yorktown, about 8 miles. There is a monument at Yorktown commemorating the victory. Washington had 5,000 federal troops and 3,500 Virginia militia. There were 7,000 French soldiers besides the sailors. A little over 7,000 British were captured.* Imagine the capture of 7,000 men ending a modern war! I went back to Lee Hall and took the train to Williamsburg. historic Williamsburg.

Williamsburg is even older than Yorktown. There are a great many historical places there but I did not get to see them all. How I wished for you, that we might see them together. Washingtol's headquarters were there, and it was there he courted and married Martha Custis. The old church (Bruton Manor' church) is about the most historic thing in town. It is stiU under the English crown, the only church that is, in-America, It was rebuilt in 1905, but the walls may have been left as they were for they look very old. There is a pew for the old governors of Virginia with a red canopy over it. The oldest tablet is dated 1679, and the old negro who showed u.s around said that it was the oldest in America, but wasn't the Harris tablet 1 wrote you about in Norfolk dated before that? I wish you could have heard the old negro talk. He felt mighty big and learned. He could reel off dates and contents of letters and inscriptions on tablets by the yard. There was some "old solid silver plate in the basement presented by some old English kings. The church yard is not as full of graves as most, but is a very pretty place with a good many big shade trees:

Finds Tiny College.

I was disappointed In William and Mary college. It is the oldest chartered college in the country, but second in point of actual practice to Harvard. There is only one real old building and that seems to be the only one used as a school building today. There is an old dormitory on the campus though. I expected to find a senior bench, but did not. The library is a little bit-of a, thing, it seems, in a new building. Some onfe said that there were about 300 students there, but I hardly see how they could accommodate that many. The college has produced more presidents and statesmen than any other in the country. There is a great deal of civil war history around Williamsburg too. I don't believe the town has grown a bit since the civil war and probably not for several years before. It was once the capital of Virginia and the old state house foundation is there. Patrick Henry made his famous speech there. v.

t, May 2®, 191#. Saturday afternoon 1 went to Xork-

town again with some fellows from the 4Twenty-second balloon company. Green, a fellow who lives at Riley, Ind., and who was in the tent with Fred Gray and me at Kelley field, San Antonio, is in the company, and he is the one that planned the trip with me. Six of us went. We hiked along the road for about ten miles and then took the train to Lee Hall where we got the bus to Yorktown. I met a sergeant from our squadron there and slept with him in a fine bed, but the others had some trouble In finding a place to sleep and then didn't get a very good one.

We went out to the National cemetery and the site of the surrender, places I had hot seen before. I wrote you about the Kelson house—kelson thought that his house would be occupied by British officers as it was the best house in town, so offered a reward to any gunner who would hit it. It doesn't look like it had been hit though.
