AHITUDE Of THE STATE
Additional authority has been died In the Indiana supreme court to combat the contention that a high school is not a public school, or common school, and hence that a township trustee may transfer a pupil from a public high school to Spiceland academy, a Friends church school. Ele Stansbury, attorney-general of Indiana. and Edward M. White, of counsel on the state’s side of Jthe case, cite a decision of the state supreme court on January ». it held. In the case of the state against O'Dell, from Sullivan county, that a pupil thirteen years old. oomplete<l the gi^ee below the high sohool, could be required under the compulsory education law to attend high school.

CANADIAN VETERAN TAKEN PRISONER BY TEUTONS.
SPEAKS AT BIG MEETING
Two years’ experience with German barbarity and cruelty In prisoif camps and hospitals was told by Ivan H. Rogslter, formerly a private In the Canadian army, at the Big Meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association at English's theater Sunday afternoon. The speaker will carry through life a maimed hand as a souvenir, he says, of German kultur. After a vivid description of the cruelties practiced by the Germans on the British prisoners in the nine camps he visited during the term of his Imprisonment, Mr. Kosslter declared: "The women are fitting matss for their men, I have pity tor the little children of Germany, but none for the women." Unelaaned Cattle Cart. He recalled that British soldiers were herded in uncleaned cattle cars and transported for days without water to drink. In a number of towns they were taken from the cars and exhibited for the edification of the people. The women, he said, with true German kultur, would hurl vile epithets at them, spit bn them as they marched by. end finally would offer water to the thirsty prisoners, and as the men reached for the buckets would gleefully spill the water on the ground. "We must show them no pity for they are our enemies and they have shown us none,” he said. Mr.* Rossiter. after being wounded In the hand, was captured, with some companions while digging around a shell crater.on June 2, 1816. A German doc tor, be said, examined his hand and declared that it would heal within a few weeks so that he could work for the Germans. At another camp, without the use of ansestheslA and without ing an X-ray examination, a German surgeon amputated his third finger at the second Joint and extracted five small bones from the wrist, rendering the hand practically useless. A Hospital at Hanover. Before the wound had received an op portunity to heal. Mr. RossUer, with other wounded British soldiers was sent to a hospital at Hanover where patients with a communicable disease were treated. Every morning, he said, their wounds were dressed in the operating rooms where the regular pntienta of the hospital received treatment. One French soldier, he declared, contracted the disease through his open wound and later died. The Germans accorded him i military funeral. The wounded prisoners were forced to make the beds of the patients and do other work about the hospital. Mr. Rossiter told of a means devised by the Germans to bolster the courage Of their people at home. When discouragement manifested itself a number of prisoners would be brought together and transferred to another prison camp. In great numbers they would be marched about bearing signs. 'Captured at the Marne,’ ‘Captured at the Somme’ or at any battle at which the Germans desired to make a claim of having captured large numbers of prisoners. This scheme, he said, never failed to arouse the enthusiasm and spirits of the people, who would cheer themselves hoarse. “Some people.” the Canadian veteran said, "believe this war will be won through a revolution In Germany and not by a decisive battle. This could only happen If the army revolted, as it did in Russia. ‘The German army will not revolt until about 1950, and I hope the war will be over by then. The only ones left at home to revolt are the old men, women and children. Germany has an affective way of stifling all labor trou ble.” ^ Gmilt Is Still There. The Germans, he t^ded, have eeeded In knocking the smile T English Tommies' face. They hare tried various means, but have not succeeded. mainly because the British sol dier in prison camps has learned to take his daily torture as a matter of routine and has become accustomed to the bar barities of the enemy. The Y. M. C. A. Orchestra provided the music for the meeting. The theater was crowded to the doors by an audience of 2,246 men. FOLSON TAKES BALTZELL'S PLACE ON STATE COMMIHEE
