MINE REM CAR TO BE READY IN OCTOBER

Pltsfflent Ed Stewart Is Advised That Delay Due To Wax Will Soon Be Ended.

President Ed Stewart, District No. 11, of ,the United Mine Workers of America, received a telegram from the United States bureau of mines statin* that the headquarters of the new steel mine rescue car had been fixed at Terre Haute, and he congratulated the officers and members of District No. 11, U. M. W. of A., for their cooperation in every way with this work. He stated that the car should have been delivered six months ago, but owing to war conditions it would not arrive until October or November.

President Stewart stated Thursday morning that the mine workers' office In Terre Haute and a number of local Unions took up this question more than a year ago. He said the local office had sent a number of letters and telegrams to the authorities at Washington, pointing out the necessity of a car being stationed some place in the local fields, as more than 12,000 miners worked In the vicinity Of Terre Haute. Some of these mines, he said, are very gasseous, and an accident in the way of an explosion no doubt would result seriously to the miners if there was not a* rescue car in the vicinity.

Stewart said this car wculd be accessible at any time to any part of Indiana, northern Kentucky or eastam Illinois, and that owing to the splendid railroad service out of Terre Haute in every direction it could reax"h any point in a few hours following an accident.

CZECHO-SLOVAK ARMY READY TO AID ALLIES

Troops Welcome British Soldiers and Are Anxious To Push West To Help Their Brothers.

LONDON, Aug. 15.—Reuters Ltd. learns that the British troops on their way to Join the Czecho-Slovak troope on the Ussuri front were received by the Czechs with the greatest enthusiasm at Nicolak and elsewhere.

The Ussuri river joins the Amur near Khabarovsk, north of Vladivostok. The Czechs have been engaged with the Bolsheviki in this region for several weeks.

The Czechs are pathetically anxious to push west and assist their brothers. They are contemplating desperate measures in order to reach them but their force is ridiculously small compared to their opponents while they lack most auxiliary equipment and are deficient even in the essentials.

If it is the allied intention to hold the rear while the Czechs do the fighting, Gen. Dietrich's small force might well be annihilated but it is inconceivable that the allies will refrain from active co-operation, and that cooperation must be on a larger scale than hitherto contemplated.

In an editorial the Times emphastees the urgency of hastening allied action. It says that the Czechs have been driven back from the Ussuri front and also have suffered reverses in eastern Russia, It is imperative, the Times declares, to send help to western Siberia through Harbin whence, it says, Lake Baikal ought to be reached in moderate strength within a reasonable time.

WORK OR EIGHT CLAUSE DECLARED ESSENTIAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Replying to objections of Samuel Gompers to a work or fight provision in the new manpower bill. Senator Thomas, of Calorado, read to the senate today a letter he had written to Mr. Gompers declaring enactment of such a measure at this is essential, and adding: "Favors^ and privileges should be unknown as far as -possible in this war. We are not, by exempting certain classes, extending favors to them. We are merely utilizing their peculiar abilities in essentially necessary directions. As long as they are used their exemption should coi)Unus,,.When they are not used I think It should coase."

The senator also said that while the attitude of organized labor as a whole had been patriotic and commendable, unless his information was all wrong labor conditions In New Jersey and Now England vitally affecting the production of war material have been very serious" notwithstanding "the highest wage scale in history.

Both the Chamber of Commerce and the city proper will insist upon convincing data in support of the demand of the traction company, for aii increase in the mlnimnm electric: rate before the raise is acquiesced in, according to statements made by Attorney Clarence Royse and others interested, Thursday. "On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce," said Mr. Royse, "I have asked for an itemized statement in proof of the contention that an increase in rates is necessary because of increased expenses. It was said and is our contention that the old rates were too high and, of course, any increase would be unreasonable' and unjust. This data has not yet been furnished and probably will not be presented In time to get the matter in shape for the utilities commission before the latter part of September."

Aim to Shorten War.

i' The policy of the war department is to put the maximum number of men in France with the idea of shortening the war. We found from figures furnished by the provost marshal general that we could embark on the program of 80 divisions in France by Junn 10, 1919, with 18 divisions at home. These divisions consist roughly of 40.000 men to a division*"After prolonged study of the available man-power of the United States, the provost Marshal general showed that it was" necessary to drop to 18 years of age and go to 45 in order te get the men to carry it through. All the men obtained under the proposed change In ,t^ draft law—approximately 2,300,000—we expect to have in France by June 30, 1919.'' fleneral March told the committee that he was unqualifiedly in favor of having the army composed of as many young men as possible. Young men between 18 and 20, he said, not only do not have man encumbrances, but they are better fit physically. "The president," said Gen. March, resuming his statement, "has finally announced that the American military policy from this time on is centered on the western front and we have declined to be diverged from that one thing. The war department has now adopted this as a policy and it is the policy of the United States that the military program is to be centered in France.

U. ®. To Whip 6ermanfc. "The purpose of America is to furnish enough man power to whip the Germans from now on. The only way that Germany can Be Shipped is by America going into this thing with her whole strength. "Then America has. got to put enough men over to whip Germany?',* asked Senator Kirby. "That is it in a nutshell," General March replied. "It is up to us to win the war and we can win it. How long it will take will depend exactly upon what we d?.% If we drag along with this thing and put a small force over there we will be ptaying Germany's game. It is my belief that with an American army of 4,000,000 men in France under one commander-in-chief we can go through the German line wherever we please.'' "This law," the general added, "will let 6s lean on class 1 until June 30 of next year. "We reached the conclusion that the enlarged program was necessary on July 30."

Secretary Baker explained the steps that led up to the change in the military program.

Approved By Baker.

"After the recess of congress," the secretary said," the study of the situation went on and a few days ago it became clear to us that the eighty divisions program was perhaps the maximum which we could possibly hope to accomplish and that to accomplish that, it would be necessary to change the age limits from the present limits to from 18 to 45.

Secretary Baker said he asked the Surgeon-general for a formal opinion as to what changes he would recommend, which the surgeon general suggested, the ages 18 to 45. "The bill as it is written meets with my entire approval," declared Secretary/ Baker. Asked by Senator John-son,-of California, if he believed the pending bill was essential to carry out th^ purposes for which the United States entered the war, Secretary Baker replied: "I believe that to be the fact. My own judgment about It originally was that 19 should be the minimum and I came to the 18 minimum only after thoroxigh study of the situation and with some reluctance bui finally believing it to be necessary to secure the appropriate number of mea."

Patrolmen Cox and Casey wen) to the scene and arrested the pair in the house together. After being taken to police headquarters and examined by Captain Vancleave, .both were sent to jail.

When arraigned In City Court Thursday morning, through their attorneys, Beasley, Douthitt & Crawford, a plea of not guilty was entered, and their cases continued until Aug. 20. Keys put up a cash bond of $200 and was released, while the woman was sent back to jail. The two small children, who were in the court room with rtieir father, clung to their mother's skirts as she was hustled into the patrol wagon, and wept for several minutes after her departure.

After her departure the father gathered the two chiltfren into his arms and started his journey homeward. Attorney Charles Whltlock, who is appearing in the interest of the husband in the matter, made a personal appeal to Judge Paul R. Shafer that the bonds be placed as high as possible, and stated that the Lamb home had been wrecked by the acts of the mother, who is In jail waiting trial. It is said Keys, who is stopping at the hotel, became acquainted with the woman while she was In the place waiting for her husband to come off duty.

Released on Bond.

The couple were released later In the day, and the woman returned to her work as cashier In the restaurant. The manager said she would be retained, because she had told him that Keys merely called on her on her front porch. He said he knew that Lamb had displayed 111-temper before his wife on numerous occasions, and he
