"Future wars can be prevented only} by the uniting of public-spirited, re- j Jigiocs men in the advancement of j Christianity." declared Dr. E. M. Po-1 teat, of Boston, secretary of the I spiritual life department of the gen- | era! board of promotion of the Northern Baptist convention, at a luncheon of 125 Indianapolis business men at the Claypool hotel today. I>r. Poteai spoke under the auspices of the interchurch world movement. The aims of this movement, he said, are to bring Christian men of all denominations to work together in the Chris-
tian task of world-saving.
Threats of nations and races to involve the world in wars more deadly than the recent world war to advance their own interests were recounted by Dr. Poteat to show that the only preventive of these wars is for an opportunity to be given ail peoples of the world to accept Christian principles
of unselfish service for others.

He asked the retailers to break up what sugar they can buy into small packaged of one or t wo pounds, in order that as many of their customers as possible may have sugar.

TEACHERS’ PAY CONFERENCE School Board Hopes to Arrange for 9300 Increase for Lowest Paid. In accordance with arrangements made today it is* expected that Geprge C. Hitt, business director of the public schools. Ralph Douglass, assistant to the business director, and Charles L. Barry, chairman of the finance committee of the school board, will confer with the state board of accounts and the state tax board Tuesday on the question of the legality of granting a fiat increase of 1200 in the salary of the lowest paid teachers for the next two months of the school year. The school board in special session Saturday decided to take this action if possible instead of placing all teachers on the new salary schedule ^or last year. The new plan would result in an expenditure of $260,009 instead of $180,000, which would have been the cost of putting the new schedule in effect for the two months. The state board of accounts will be asked to pass on the legality of making a temporary Increase over the salary for next year and the state tax board will be asked to authorize the necessary loan against the local tuition fund.

ON CONDITION OF COFFINS.
BRITISH REMAIN IN FRANCE
The Indianapolis News Bureau. 33 Wyatt Building. , WASHINGTON. April 19.—Reports reaching Washington indicate that despite the enormous expense to which the war department is going in causing the removal of the bodies of the soldier dead from France, the method of removal would shock American relatives, especially if they could see the condition of the coffins which have arrived in France to carry the bodies back. According to reports from France. 85 per cent, of the coffins which are arriving there have broken tops and the^rest are so badly sealed that few will stand the water test to which they are subjected by army officials before they are permitted to be used. Screws are declared to be lacking in practically all of them and it. is said that army workers * must provide from thirty to forty screws for every coffin that is used. 28,006 Ordered Removed. Approximately 28,000 bodies have been ordered removed to date and of this number a few have already been sent to the United States. Because of the rough treatment which the coffins receive enroute to France there is speculation here as to their condition on arrival in this country. Most of the wor* done by those who have charge of removing the bodies has been i n the zones in the rear of the actual fighting lines and these zones will be cleaned up before any wrork of removal is attempted In the fighting areas. At th.e present rate of progress, it is believed it will be late next fall before the fighting zones will be reached. Much criticism has been directed in France against the American policy of removing the dead and Americans there believe that if Americans knew the conditions under which bodies were shipped they would nbt be so anxious to have the bodies sent home. British Not • to Move Bodied. The British government recently issued an order .against the removal of any body and as a consequence the British officers have been able to go ahead with their plans for beautifying the British cemeteries. Practically all the work of assembling the British dehd in cemeteries has been accomplished, it is reported, and the work of shaping up the cemeteries has begun. SKULL OF CHILD PIERCED.

[Special lo The Indianapolis News} SOUTH BEND. Ind, April 19.—The Rev. G. W. Titus, of the First Christian church at Mishawaka, appeared attired in overalls Sunday night and delivered a scathing arraignment of profiteers. As a result of his sermon hundreds of Mishawaka men and women prepared today to combat the high cost of clothing by wearing overalls, gingham or clothing discarded as unfit for wear. The organization of the overalls clubs in South Bend continued today tend the white-collared brigade was considerably reduced when bank and office clerks reported for work. Additions to the Studebaker club came so rapidly that it was found necessary to increase the wholesale order for overalls and cheap dresses by 100 per cent. * In both South Bend and Mishawaka it was noticeable that hundreds of men who have been in the habit of eating their noonday meal in the downtown coffee houses and cafes had lunch boxes under their arms while enroute to their offices and shops. In the composing rooms of the South Bend Tribune the entire force has for some time been carrying lunch to work. South Bend expects to carry the protest against high prices of clothing much farther than the mere wearing of overalls. In the high school today the pupils decided to bring old clothing from the discard and to "boycott” such girls as continued to wear silk hose to the class rooms. Because of fear that the demand for overalls will Increase the price of the articles, thousands of factory employes in this city and Mishawaka also have invaded the attics and closets in search of discarded cloth-
