leaving here owing to the high cost of living here and at the same time we &re losing such enterprises as would '•, develop the city. I saw a comparison t)t food pr!cs between Terre Hsiute und the hief cities of Indiana a few days ago and we were high on nearly entry article. Should this n£t come under the direction of the food adtnini istration? Is this not a subject for the i*/ consideration of Mr. Ahlgren? Is food regulation to be all one-sided, the people being called on to bear a continuous and upward trend of prices.

WHflTS THE MATTER WITH TDK HAUTE?

Reader Says We Get No War Contracts, But Do Get Lot of High Prices.

Editor of the Tribune:— "What Is the matter with Terre Huute? TChat is the matter with our representatives at Washington? We are fast going into fifth place in the state and, too, every town of any imt'* portance seems to be able to land munition and war work contracts, but

Terre Haute. I notice a Washington .jiisp&tcii which says: V* Contracts For Indiana. f^5 4 WASHINGTON, July 15.—An"fc nouncement has been made that eontracts for war supplies have been awarded to the South Bend Foundry '4j company. South Bend, for sewage

Hocks the American L«awn Mower fi-'j,

The food director in other places, I am told, fixes

maximum price for the

fit a pies and th^re is fi great difference between food prices in these places and *%. food prices in Terre Haute.

Pardon me for digressing from Blv 1 original subject, but I would like to* see a set of public officials take hold ot 5 these problems and glvo the people home relief. Is not some federal, city or county department justified in tak-

Jng aV1nn In these matters and giving the jxMiple something else aside from an intermittent notice of Increased taxes

The.se things are asked in all fairness. would like to know if I am misinformed in my belief that It is part of the duty of the food director to "•*. save the people from rapidly encroach-.-4 ing food prices, as well as it is his duty ,»ui* t0 tt*ll us what we can use and what 'K' i

can't use?

TWO NEW INSTRUCTORS COME TO CAMP ROSE

Training Camp Men Making Splendid Progress In Mechanics and Military Work.

Two new men hare been added to the personnel of the staff of officers and instructors stationed at Camp Rose. Ijieut. Samuel Simon, quartermaster corps, national army, who was detailed to come to this city, has arrived. Lieutenant Simon has been assigned to duty as quartermaster* of the detachment.

President Car! Leo Mees of the Rose Polytechnic Institute has also received word that Roy S- Willis has been assigned to duty at the local camp. Mr. Willis was engaged to act as an instructor in auto mechanics when plans were being made for the opening of the present camp, but before the necessary papers were completed Mr. WilHs was called in the dralt and he is now stationed at Port Snelling, Minn., as a member of the Thirty-sixth infantry. He has now been granted an extended furlough and will be sent back here to assume his duties as an Instructor at Camp Rose.

Course Half Finished.

With their courses of instruction more than half completed the men of the detachment are showing rapid advancement in both educational and military" affairs, iDr. Mees announced that next week more practical work in auto mechanics would be given the boys. That is, they will be given more actual road driving and they will have numerous chances to "get into trouble and then get out of it." They will have to take care of their own engine trouble, etc., and. wiU fee put ca their own initiative.

Capt. C. I Kishler is njuch pleased with the military work of the detachment. As the commanding officer of the post»Captain Kishler is directly responsible for this work and he says that the boys have advanced further than he expected them to. Every boy is trying to learn all that he can. The boys are now drilling with rjfles and this week they will be held to close order work, with the enlisted men acting as platoon leaders. Next week will come extended order drill and then fire control.

Officar Leads 8inging.

A musical director of considerable ability has been discovered at the camp in the person of Captain Staehle, the medical officer of the camp. Monday evening the captain led the hoys in a singing bee, and excellent results were obtained. The boys took their first rehearsal on a number of marching songs, cheering the boys from the U. S. A. and "giving the kaiser h—." More work along this line will be included in the future program of the detachment. "Rosie," the celebrated mascot of Camp Rose, is getting fatter every day and is being almost spoiled by the attention that is being lavished on him. He is the only thing that the boys do not want to make "safe for democracy." Rosie is monarch of all he surveys and gives every indication of remaining as such.

Friday e*eni«ff the Normal Glee club will give a concert at the camp between the hours of 7 p. m. and 8 p. m.

APPOINTED CAPTAIN.

Riley* Physician Goes to Medical Reserve Service. Dr. Charles Meredith Dupuy, of Riley, examining physician of Vigo county board No. 3, has been appointed captain in the medical reserve corps. I

Notice «f the doctor's appointment came to him by wire from Washington this morning, and he is expected to report to Adjutant General McCoin upon his acceptance of the appointment.

Dr. "Dtrtray g*ve up a lucrative practice entirely in order to serve upon the county board with Chairman Sam E. Gray and Dr. Swadener. He has accomplished a tremendous amount of work during the last six months, and his judgment is regarded in military circles as worthy of the greatest respect. The doctor announced he would -accept, and would report at any hour he was needed.

Former Professor tn University At Versailles Makes Interesting Address At Normal.

Lieut. Robert Renard addressed the students of the Normal school this morning in chapel exercises on the great subject of the "World War." Lieut. Renard -was formerly a professor of English in the University of Versailles, but since the war has been a lieutenant in the French army and has seen much active service on the front.

In the beginning of his address, the lieutenant showed how the two great republics had ever stood together, lie said, "Twelve days ago from every house in France the Stars and Stripes tfrere waving in honor of the independence day of this great republic. Day before yesterday, I chanced to be in Chicago and saw what a great demonstration was made there In honor of the French liberty day. This in itself is symbolic of the sympathetic interest that these two great sisters bear to each other. Ope hundred and forty years ago, French transports were busy bringing French troops to America to help America gain her independence. Today American transports are working as never before taking American trooips to France in order that Franc© may have a new birth of freedom. The two great republics are fighting on the same battlefield for the same cause, the cause of liberty and justice, the cause for which they have ever stood."

Germany In Contrast.

Speaking of Germany's cause 1*1 contrast he said. "Germans have the idea that they are a race of superhumans, that they are a super nation, that they were intended to rule the world, and that the other people of the world are only flt to be ruled by them. They conquered Austria and in 1914 they started out to conquer the rest of the world, but they are finding that •we are not made of the same stuff that Austria is made of. We will not bend our knees to Germany though we all die in the refusing."

Lieutenant Renard bfanded the atrocities of the Germans as thpi work of fiendish hounds and branded German propaganda as false. He told what France had done toward winning the war and how she is now fighting holding back the German hordes and waiting for America to mobilize her msfn-power and come to the rescue.

Appealing to the American •people to Conserve food, he said: "Napoleon said that an army's boots were its bellies, and that an army could not fight unless it was properly fed. Unless you feed us we cannot fight. Bince the war started our food production has been reduced to one-third. Today we have hardly any wheat foods and ho milk products. Our sugar allowance i one-half pound per person per month Our daily ration is now ten ounces per day where it was once 23. We need your help to feed our armies. Won't you give it?"

Summarizing? the conditions under which FYance would make peace he said: "We want the Rhine for the boundary line between France and Germany we want Alsace and Lorraine we want Germany to restore the property that she has stolen and destroyed, and let it be emphatically stated that we will not make peace under any other terms."

In concluding he said: "Just as you hold the key to the Bastile as it was presented to you by Lafayette, so db you hold the key that will release France from the grip of that crushing militarism of Germany, it is the privilege and duty of America to come to our aid."

His 014 Friends Tom on Him At Opening of the Soviet Congress In Russia.

STOCKHOLM, July 18. Russian papers which arrive here contain interesting details of the soviet congress in Moscow. The oongress opened on July 4.

Representatives present numbered 678 Bolsheviks, 278 social revolutionaries, 30 Maximalists and six internationalists. In the bos were representatives of the entente, among them the British consul general, Lockhard. In another box were representatives of the German embassy, among them Mirbach, who was murdered two days afterward. It is noticed that the social revolutionaries kept away from the Bolsheviks and held lively discussions within their own circle.

After the president's address a delegate from the Ukraine, M. Alexandrov, spoke. He was greeted enthusiastically and said: "I came from the secret congress in that land where the bourgeoise and the Germans supported Skoropadsky to govern the land of workers and peasants, where, however, the government negotiates with Skoropadsky and tolerates in Its midst a leader of the German imperialists, Count Mirbach."

This caused thundering applause from the social revolutionists. The speaker then described public sentiment in the Ukraine and claimed support to throw off the yoke of the Brest peace. This statement occasioned new applause from the social revolutionaries and protests from the Bolsheviki. The social revolutionists shouted, "Down with Brest: Down with Mirbach!**

After order had been restored, Tfotzky spoke about threatening symptoms from the Red army, parts of which at the Ukrainian front had taken the offensive against the German troops in spite of express orders* Then he referred to the Czech-Slovaks and happenings in Siberia. "Kerensky!" shouted one delegate. "He has done the will of the bourgeoise," Trotzky replied. "And you have done the will of Mirbach," the Boeial revolutionaries shouted.

Then Kamaroff, leader of the social revolutionaries, spoke.

Preserving Conventions.

"I hear that Upson is a gentleman farmer now." "Yes, and he's the real thing In that line. I*uts evening dress on all his scarecrows at dusk."
