DR. VINCENT HIS I AT

tells ITeaning of America At War In Manner Seldom Heard In Terre Haute.

Speaking Tietore ofce of fhe largest I Crowds ever assembled in the chapel *f ball of the Normal school, Dr. George

H. Vincent, this morning, thrilled his

Kudtence with words of praise for the t„ new meaning of America, that is coming t© the people as a result of this

War.

Many times during the address he was interrupted by wild bursts of theering, a great spirit of understanding being shown by the listeners.

Taking up the different meanings of Americanism as they have been heretofore prevalent, he said, "In that great period of content before the war, America, to some people, meant a great geographical ex'panse. They measured the greatness of America by the quantity of territory, or the amount ot wheat raised, etc., rather than by the quality of the work of the nation. Some thought of America as & place of opportunity, a place where they could live in perfect security." Speaking further, he said, "There has ever be4h an element that has believed in •l destiny of the United States, and has refused to try to do anything that they thought was contrary to that destiny* When the war broke out the people took it rather a4 matter of fact and be-

Itemed that it was the destiny of this V «o«ntry to be neutral, and that element held sway for a long time. Even wiien the American flag was assaulted and

L-/

American citizens brutally murdered, that element could not bellevg that it Was the destiny of the American people to enter the conflict. Then eame •V ever-to-be-remembered day when Our great president went before congress and set before the world an America with a purpose. On that all-

fflorious day was born In America a ^.*1 new meaning of opportunity, which s'vi grown from month to month, and

Neglect Basic Idealib

dotrig back to the farewell of President Washington, Dr. Vincent quoted from it to show that the ideas of that great man were neglected through those long years of blindness on the part of the American people. Instead of maintaining means for defense and a great national purpose, as Washington advised, Dr. Vincent showed how the American people had done neither, but rather had boasted of her great expanse, meanwhile forgetting the wisenees of their great leaaer.

Defining the new meaning of Americanism, Dr. Vincent said, "Americanism no longer means the emptiness of vanity, but the opportunity to do something for our fellowmen. On my recent visit to London and Paris I had the chance to see some or the new spring styles of dress and the style that took my eye the most of any was the dress of the American Red Cross nurses. This is just one example of the new idea of Americanism."

Speaking of th£ peace rumors arid their significance, he said, "During the coming weeks there will be cries for peace, but let me warn you not to cry for peace. It would be the worst thing that America could do, at the present time. It would not be a lasting peace, but just a truce In which the enemy could gather together her forces to renew the strife. There was a time in the civil war when people begged President Lincoln to let the soutn go and have peace, but that gretft-minded man knew the wisdom of continuing the struggles We have today a president who can guide us on to a great victory, jio let's follow on to that/ victory with unshaken trust."

Appeals to Teachers.

He olosed with an appeal to the teachers of the Indiana schools to acquire an intellectual understanding .of the great ideals of the new America and to serve the nation by in turn teaching these ideals to the pupils of the state. He said, "Prepare yourselves for the duty that is yours. America spells opportunity to you in giving you the chance American ideals to your pupils. Let us struggle on with a righteous purpose toward a great world victory in the form of an everlasting peace, and if need be, give our all la -the attainment of that ideaL

COAL OUTPUT REDUCED.

Knox County Mines ^Suffer Prom Scarcity of Cars. By Special Correspondent.

VINCENNES, Ind.,' July 1—The question of scarcity of care at the coal mines in this county, especially along the Vandalia railroad, has reached a condition that is worse than at any time last summer. Coupled with this dilemma is the loss of practically 8,000 hours in the month of June to the miners, and hundreds of tons of coal to the miners and consumers. In June, 1917, the car shortage was 19 percent, while in the same month this year, the shortage was on an average of 31 per cent. In the third week in June..the car shortage was 40.6 per cent.

This whole matter was thrashed out before the public service commission, which recommended that the controversy be taken to the federal government, as it applied to interstate business. The coal miners were represented by eighteen delegates, led by Marion Head. The coal companies of the county were represented by William Johnson, the Vandalia railroad by J. W. Coneys, J. W. Holiday, of the state fuel administration, and E. I. Lewis, of the public service commission. The miners are willing to work every day and the operators will help them to if they can get the cars. .f
